a HOUSE. DIVIDED

AS long as the representatives and
senators in congress from Kansas are
at swords points over every conceivable
question of public concern that comes
to the front, it is not likely that this
state will fare practically well either
in the matter of favorable federal legis-
lation or desirable and important fed
era1 appointments. This was exemph-
fed again the other day when President
Taft announced his appointments to
the vacancies on the supreme bench.
Two distinguished jurists. hailing
from Kansas, were mentionedras among
those who were being considered by the
president as available material for the
nations court of last resort, quite the
most important and powerful of the
governmental agencies. But the Kan
sans in congress could not agree to give
their undivided support to either OF
these gentlemen. Some of them pressed
the president to appoint one. Others
were equally insistent that the presl-
dent appoint the other man. The re-
suit was that when the president made
up his supreme court slate, the name OF
neither of the Kansas candidates ap-
peared on it. Maybe the division of the
Kansas congressional delegation was
not the controlling one for the presi-
dents failure to give one of these SUI
prene court judgeships to a Kansas
man. But that it played large part
in his decision there can be no doubt.
These differing attitudes that were
assumed by the various factions in the
Kansas congressional delegation on this
important matter may speak we'll for
their political independence in thought
and action-and such political independ-
ence may be especially dear to the
hearts of many Kansans just now
but such kind of independence does
not work very well in the attainment
of results. And no state. regardless OF
the individual strength and independ-
ence of it's representatives and senators
in congress, is going to take a com
manding position in the administration
of the affairs of the nation. as long as
it's congressional representatives re-
main at loggerheads on every matter
Of Importance that comes to the fore.
AS Abraham Lincoln put 1t in one of
his famous speeches:
"a house divided against itself can
not stand"

Gossip Merely a Shock.

Women like to gossip because the
news of the terrible things the neigh
bors have done gives pleasing shock
to their vasomotor systems. Unless
the vasoomotr system receives good
ly share of shocks the individual suf-
fers from ennui.
At least this is the theory which
William 1. Thomas, professor of sociol-
ogy at the University of Chicago and
inventor of the term 1.-The adventurous
character of woman" presented to the
delegates of the National League Of
Handicraft Societies.
"Our primitive ancestors led exciting
lives" Professor Thomas said. I'VE
share the appetite for excitement
which their experience built I'D in the
race, and. different as our occupations
and amusements are from theirs, we
enjoy them in proportion as they pro-
vide the shocks to the vasomotor sys-
TEN which they get out of hunting,
fighting, and escaping from dangerous
animals. We crave shocks.
perhaps that is the reason some
women love husbands who beat them"

wOMAN,S SUFFRAGE.

Another earnest effort is going to be
made by the women of Kansas, while
the legislature of 1910 is in session, to
have the right of equal suffrage with
men extended to them. Aud if Kansas
desires to enhance it's reputation fur
Their as being a commonwealth where
all individuals are given square dcal,
it is about time for this state to az
cord a universal suffrage to its wo-
men.
This proposition was carried during
the recent fall election in the state of
Washington. This makes five states.
the others being wyoming, Colorado.
Utah and Idaho-where the women are
entitled to vote with the men on all
questions of public concern. from pres
idential elections down. Already in
Kansas, the women have the right to
vote at municipal elections, at school
elections and on bond issues. Nor has
there ever been any suggestion that
the women have abused their. privi-
leges at any such elections in which
they have participated, nor has it ever
been charged that they have taken any
action, concerted or otherwise, that has
been inirnical in any way to the best
interests of the whole people. In fact
if 1t had not been for the fine activity
of the women of Topeka in a recent
school election. it is likely that the
affairs of the board Of education would
have been carried on in the same old
way. and one that was not best.
Neither has there been any Indication
that such participation as the Kansas
women have INDUCED in at city. school
and bond elections, has destroyed any
of their womanly attributes. They are
quite as good mothers and home
keepers as there are in the world.
Taking active part in campaigns on To-
cal questions and going to the polls and
voting have not lessened any of their
charms and graces. The same story
can be written about the women in the
other states where they have enjoyed
the right of universal suffrage for vary
ing periods of time.
And Furthermore, wherever women
have the right to vote. whether 1t be
in local affairs or in the larger affairs
of states and nation, the great, great
majority of them are always to be found
discharging this momentous duty with
the highest of motives. Their influence
is directed to the channels of right
and also of progress. There is no good
reason, therefore, why the women of
Kansas, who now enjoy quite a meas
ure of suffrage. should not be granted
equal suffrage with the men on all
questions which concern the public.
