Smith has reduced the sentence to a
term which is rathr long one for mur-

was that he was to Kill her and then
kill himself. He did kin her and then
tried to kill himself, cutting his throat
in horrible manner. Medical assist

had quite expired and his life was
saved.
1t is thought probable that George
Wade will receive a pardon within a

raise funds to send him to his wife

thought he cannot survive long. Some

kindness by aiding in furnishing the
means to send him to his family TO
spend his last days.

The Board of immigration Will
Bring No More of Them

The Board of immigration held q
meeting at the Governor IS Office yes.
terday afternoon. There were present
Acting Governor Mott-Smith, Richard
Ivers, John Garden aad J. a. Craig. A.
L. G. Atkinson, the other member, was
absent.
The letters and reports of the
Board s agent IN New York. Mr.. Ire
ner, We're all gone over. These have
been made public in substance as they
have been received. Mr. Trenor re-
ports progress. He is exercising the
very greatest care in his selection of
the first fifty families of Southern
Italians to be brought here. 1t is prob
able that after these have been selected
and sent here, Mr. Trenor will he en-
gagged to secure and send here a num-
Der of Portuguese from the Eastern
states. as we'll as further detachments
of Southern italians.
The Board has decided to make no
further efforts to bring back to the
Territory Portuguese who have gone
from here to the Pacific Coast A party
of seventeen of these were brought on
the last Alameda, and the Board APP
proved the bills incurred in bringing
them back. OF this party sixteen were
men and one was woman. They
ranged in age from ~ tic 81. The
bringing back of this party and others
that have preceded it are the result of
the efforts of Mr.. Silva, who was sent
as the representative of the Board TO
California to work among the Portu-
guese who had gone there from here.
The decision to discontinue this effort
is due to the fact that the policy Of
the Board is to introduce families,
while those returning. and according
to the reports of Mr.. Silva. which may
he expected to return in the future,
are nearly all unmarried men.

Numerous Criticisms Have Brought Out
Vigorous Protesting Reply
By S. X. Booher.)

By s. X. Booher.)
When l penciled briefly my remarks on
Mr.. Jeffries article, "Why Women Should
Vote" did not think that because of
brevity, that the meaning would be so dis
torted out of all reason by any reader of
the article, but it seems that such has been
its lot
How could one CLEAN the idea from my
article, that "man is the whole thing"
when / admitted that "the hand that rocks
the cradle is the hand that rules the
world?" What hand rocks the cradle?
Man or woman? 1t would seem that Mr..
Jeffries would like the table turned and let
man do the cradle work, and woman his
labor. Well, now this might do in some
cases, but certainly Nature has not so or
dained it. A certain priest understood the
law of Nature and its ultimate result, when
he said: "Allow me the training of all
children from infancy to twelve years OF
age and l will show you Catholic people
of generations TO Gomez Certainly this is
truth of the first water. Christianity would
not be what it is today were it not for the
fact that great care is taken to train the
tender mind, in making impressions there
on, in the ghost stories of biblical lore
Now, my good brother Jeffries, and sister
Putnam, if you have it that women should
enter the portals of that most holy sane
tuary, politics, so that they (women)
should or could have the right to vote
and hold Office, why not have the good
women utilize their precious time in train
ing the boys and girls, moulding sentiment
so that when these boys arrive at the vot-
ing age they will with one solid vote place
women on an equal (O with man.
You certainly would not have many
years to wait to realize your Utopian
idea. No use trying to convert the men
voters of today, hardened in their thoughts
and set in their notions that "they are
the whole thing"
Sister Putnam says: "On every hand
we are confronted by mothers engaged in
other labor than that for which she seems
especially adapted. Why? Because man is
not able to furnish her with the necessities
of lfe." Now, | fear Sister Putnam
has not been a close student Of Political
Economy or else her answer would have
been quite different.
The industrial change from the small
factory to the large; the combining of cap
ital to foster large industries, and then
the desire of the capitalist for large divi-
Blue-grass blade., 1909-10-24
Why Women Should Not Vote

dends, has wrought the change from we'll
paid men to cheap labor; machinery taking
the place of manual labor performed by
men, making the product cheaper and la
Dor easier, so that boys and girls and
women can perform such labor, and the
desire Of the capitalists for greater divi-
dends, led them to advocate independence
(O for boys and girls and women to earn
their own money. The idea was quickly
taken up by this class and very soon the
labor market was glutted, and laborers be-
ing plentiful, prices of labor fell, and the
capitalists argued that since all members
of the family can earn money, the man
bread-wlnner-must perforce work for
similar wages, or seek elsewhere for labor.
Now whereas the man-the bread winner
should have a price for his labor COM
mensurate with the amount earned, .suflic-
lent for him and his family's necessities
and comfort, and enough besides to lay in
store for old age, we find that the bread
winner receives scarcely enough to pro-
vide for the daily necessities, hence the
necessity of the wife and children to assist
in securing a livelihood. This is the re-
suit of false teaching in industrial and
political economy.
"Where there is one woman going to
Clubs, etc, there are so going to the fac
tory, etc. And it is the 80 who need the
vote and would use it.. Now, dear sister,
are you quite sure these 80 would use it
and by its use cure all the ills of which the
women complain? Here in Ohio we have a
law permitting or granting the women the
right or use of the voting power in all
matters pertaining to our public schools.
Our public schools are the corner-stone,-
yea, the foundation upon which is built our
nation This is certainly field opened
for women s use of her voting power, but
do they (the 99) make use Of it? The
one does, but not the 80. Why? Why? Why?
Now comes pen description of farm
ers wife in her queenly home. From our
sisters remarks we gather the thought
that the farmers wife's labor is simply
drudgery and "nothing more, Lenore."
Sister, you can add to the ordinary far
mer's wife s labor much more There is
the garden and truck patch to look after;
scrubbing the porches and walks; tending
the flowers; baking pies, cookies and
bread; visiting the sick neighbors; taking
along something to please the bed-ridden
patients; and all this our sister Putnam
would have us believe is "drudgery!' Yes,
and add to this the labor of preparing for
a nicnic or a festival etc
Blue-grass blade., 1909-10-24


sister, you are greatly mistaken. You must
get in touch with these farmer women, and
you will be greatly surprised both in the
amount of labor, in the variety and guam
tity done, and in the spirit in which the
work is done. Instead of "drudgery", the
earnest and industrious women consider it
a pleasure and take great pride in their in
dependence and the amount of work ac-
complished.
Visit the live farmers wife and see how
she will interest herself in showing you
through the garden and yard-caling your
attention to the beautiful plants and flow
ers, garden vegetables, etc.,-then the
chickens ducks turkeys and geese; follow
ing it up with a display of quilts, COM
forters, aprons, dresses, etc, for herself
and children. During this time her labor
of cooking the meals, washing the dishes,
and waiting on the visitors proceed without
a ripple. Notice the healthful glow in the
farmers wife's cheeks and the sparkle in
her eye Not that Indifferent, lazy, far
away look of unconcernedness, or don't
caredness, longing for something to turn
up to arouse or excite the Imagination, as
a sensational magazine article Oh, no, not
that. But the farmers wife of today does
read, and reads the best of literature, and
finds time with her multiplicity of worthy
duties TO do it too How she enjoys her
work! At eventde she looks back over a
well-spent day, and now retires to rest,
sweet, sweet rest The next morning she
arises at an early hour, refreshed and
ready for her daily toll. This mother, wife
and queen is also merchant. Shopping
day See her hitch the family horse to the
buggy, placing therein eggs, butter, cream,
chickens, garden vegetables, fruit and pos
siby other things that her labor has pre-
pared for marketing, exchanging it for
cash, or goods needed in the family
Now, Miss or Mrs. p. takes apparently
great umbrage at her sex for receiving
more honor and greater rights now than
she could hope to have if she had the use
of the ballot, and then says: "We are
going to have the ballot or die trying to
get it, That reminds one Of the little
boy whose mother had supplied herself
with box of snuff for the prevention of
moth, ETC. She told the little boy its use
and further explained to him the danger of
handling it. But the boy, like most boys
and even girls too, wanted the personal ex-
perience. So at an Opportune time he
sought the box of snuff for examination.
The lid being hard to remove, he exercised
great force in removing it, and so suddenly
did it open that the contents were thrown
out his eyes receiving a generous supply,
and he inhaled a goodly portion also. Now
