WHY KENTUCKY WOMEN WANT
TO VOTE.
After q Successful Campaign for Bet
ter Schools $4,000 Illiterate Male
Voters Stand in Their Way.

When the next census Is taken in
Kentucky, the State will have come
along about fifty years. says Mabel
Potter Daggett in The Delineator for
November. And coincidentally with
the educational awakening, another
cause bespeaks legislative notice. The
women who gave Kentucky its new
schools want the ballot. They say
that it took a long time to accomplish
what they did. Next time they would
like to be in a position where they will
not have to beg for what they want.
They would like the ballot so they
can demand II.
When tho County School District
bill was prepared it contained a
clause providing for school suffrage
for women. Heroically the women
submitted to its elimination lest their
insistence on the ballot should jeo-
pardize the whole school moevment
Afterward they got a special bill pre-
pared to grant school suffrage to wo-
men. The gallant legislators side
stepped 1T by getting it politely
smothered in committee. This year
the women will ask again for school
suffrage. They have an idea that
Kentucky needs them to help in the
direction of Its school affairs. Ken
lucky men. on the other hand, have
old-fashi0ned notions that women
aren't qualified to vote. STILL, you see,
there are those sixty-five thousand
male voters who can neither read or
write. and there are the five thousand
illiterate school trustees. It's very
awkward. So Southern chivalry
usually says No to the women asking
for a vote. by urging that they ought
to stay at home and be sheltered. ,
Kentucky women are replying that
they've been out good. deal in all
kinds Of weather the past few years
on this school question. They say,
In fact, that II only they had the bal
lot. It would save them a lot of this
going out and about and up and down
the land. The State doesn't yet seem
to see the obligation. But one would
think that Kentucky women had done
enough for the public good, so that
the men should hold them on a plate
anything they ask for--even to a half
of the kingdom through the forbid
den ballot.

three months but was sick all but
three weeks of the time.
He was brought into the station by
Patrolman England with the $40 re-
ward in view. After talking to the
boy for some time. however. it was
noticed that he could not hear we'll.
This led to a suspicion as to whether
he would be wanted at his boat and
he was asked if he had not been dis
charged. He replied that he had not
but smiled and the officers saw $40
go glimmering.
Nevertheless he was escorted to the
barred room. At the door he admit
ted to Jailer Hopkins that he was not
wanted because he was hard of hear
ing and added that he had been told
he could leave if he cared to go.

By TIP WRIGHT.

It's funny what a sudden shock
will do.
/ saw the working result of
quick, decisive jolt recently, and l
must say l admire the jolter, who
ever he was.
The Cleveland base ball club has
two pitchers, Glen Liebhardt and
Heinie Berger. They were not
worth their salt apparently; neither
had shown anything worth while,
despite the fact that good base ball
men considered them above the Or
binary as pitchers.
Suddenly someone in authority in
the club suggested asking waivers
upon the pair. The scheme was car
ried out and the papers made much
of it. Major league clubs refused to
waive claim to either man, another
demonstration of their assessed
value.
But, just as soon as the twain
learned that waivers had been ask
ed upon them, they began to Show
something. Berger went out and
pitched three and four-hit games
while Liebhardt has never been bet
ter since he graduated from the
southland. The jolt did it.
