LET .EM FIGHT 1T OUT.

There are two sides of the woman
suffrage qucstion-tne side that has
been espoused by George Harvey, or
IIarper's Weekly, and Mrs. Clarence
Mackey, who ask for square deal
for women in the political and Indus
trial affairs of this country. and the
side that was so well represented IN
The Times-Dlspatch on Sunday by the
distinguished and very capable MISS
Molly. Elliott Seawell, who contends
that woman already has square deal
and that there are compelling reasons
why the right OF suffrage should not
be conferred upon her. She bases her
objections to woman suffrage on two
Fundamental principles--tirst mo cleo
torate has ever existed or ever can
exist which cannot execute It's own
laws" and second, mo voter has
claimed or ever can claim maintenance
from another voter" Miss Seaweil
takes strong ground against Mrs.
Mackeys proposition that influence,
such as women now possess, without re-
sponsibility, Is a very bad thing"
Upon this point Miss Seawell holds
that IF influence without responsible
ity is dangerous, authority without re-
sponsibility must be a thousand times
more dangerous"
We do not intend to become en-
broiled in this diliiculty, but we must
say that Miss Seawell has made "A very
strong showing for her side of the
case. Doubtless she will meet some
foeman worthy of her steel in the

SOME MISTAKE ABOUT THIS.

The Hon. Andrew d. White, former
President of Cornell University, has
invited Mr.. Roosevelt to speak for ten
minutes to the students OF Cornell
when he visits Ithaca next Monday,
October "a, to inspect the abandoned
farm district in that region. The
Democratic County Committee of It'll
AGA. has protested against the invita-
tion and the Democratic members
of the Cornell faculty have also OBJ
jected, it is said, to Mr. Roosevelt
speaking even upon his African trip
at Cornell at this time on account OF
his political activities. This Is a most
surprising statement. Object to Mr.
Roosevelt speaking upon any subject,
at any time, to any organization, on
any account, we can hardly believe
our ears! There must be some mis-
take about IT. But the special cores
pendent of the Washington Post. who
is bruising around in New York for
original information about the polti-
cal status there, reports that the
Colonel himself is puzzled by the APP
parent lack of interest in his speeches"
the speeches lately delivered in the
western part of that State. There is
said to be IAN apathetic atmosphere"
all over that region. Indeed. expert
enced Republican politicians regard
the falling off in the registration fig
ures in New York City as "ominous to
their cause" and If the election We're
to be held within the next few days,
1t is safe to say, we are told, that the
Democrats would win. hands down.
The only issue in New York now really

brother. Prince Henry XIV. of Reuss.
or the nonreigning branch of the an
cient Reuss dynasty He was the son
of Prince Henry w. of Reuss, and is

peculiar nomenclature of these princes

whose nomenclature is the despair OF
mankind. and worse than that of the
Naples Lazzaroni, who candidly have

This custom OF numbering the
Reusses dates from the fifteenth CEN

of the line, namely, the Reuss-Greiz
and the Reuss-Gera, started out with
fresh series of numbers.
In the Reuss-Greiz line the numbers
have gone on unbroken. But in the
Reuss -Gera line the princes have been
SO numerous that IL was found neces-
sary to devise a special rule, accord

series of numbers begins with every

nineteenth century forty-seven.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER is, 1910.
A cnALLENGE no rnE COLONEL.

In mis- speeches Mr.. Roosevelt has
charged that the New York World is
controlled by Wall Street" The
World meets this charge by fair
challenge 1t says: If MIR. Roosevelt
will open his 1904 campaign fund
books to the public The World will
open its own books to Mr.. Roosevelt"
ut Will permit him to trace to It's
source every dollar of income that this
newspaper has ever received. If The
World is controlled by Wall Street, as
Slr. Roosevelt charges. such an exam
ination on the part of Mr.. Roosevelt
would completely destroy whatever IN
nuence and power The World possesses
in the formation of public opinion.
All The World asks Mr.. Roosevelt
an return Is to make public under oath
his own campaign contrbutions-to
answer The Worlds Ten Questions
The ten questions OF The World are
how mucn did the Beef Trust, the
Paper Trust, the Coal Trust, the Sugar
Trust, the Oil Trust, the Tobacco Trust
the Steel Trust, the Insurance Trust
the National Banks and the Six Great
Me. Cortelyou to the Roosevelt Cam
paign Fund in 1901? These questions
were asked by The World on October
a, 1904, and from that day to this they
have remained unanswered.
VIII Mr.. Roosevelt accept the chal-
lenge of The World? Not If the Court
knows herself, and she thinks she do
He will probably say that The World
is liar, that 1t is subsidized by the
Wall Street interests, that he will not
play with it in its backyard; but tell
about the money that was spent for
his election and where it came from?
Not much. That is not the way he
fights This is not the sort of public
ity of campaign contributions for
which he stands. These are not the
crooks he is trying to cinch. He is
concerned only by the crooks of other
people and If he shall make any reply
at all to The Worlds challenge he Will
probably say at the first opportunity
something like this: Ard you, my
fellow-ciuzens, I am for the honest
man when ne is honest, and for
the dishonest man when he is honest
j am for the good man and against the
bad man when he is not good. l am
likewise for the crooked man when he
is straight" And so on to the end OF
the same dnary. weary string of plati-
tudes that mean one thing in the East
and another thing in the West; bait for
gudgeons, pifile for the pious, punk for
The patriot.

chance again to expose The wcrld
and. if he is the bold bad man that he
Gays ne is, he will welcome this oppor-
tunity to hunt The World down in its
lair. win he do it? Not if he can
help it.
