Opposes Equal Suffrage
n. WATSON, AGED ~ YEARS


do not believe in woman suffrage.
1t is not woman's place or duty to
vote or stand in any sort of politics.
Both men and women have their privi-
leges, and / think that politics are for
men to attend to. There are things
that women can do that men can not.
If women ever get the right to vote,
maybe in not many years from now,
they will try to get control Of things
and act as enemies of men. Maybe the
men would be obliged to do the house
work, while the women would be try
ing to get votes for themselves If they
were running for office.
If women ever do vote, as they are
trying to do just at present, the moth
ers of families would go out and vote.
What kind of children would they bring
up? They would not be at home one
hour Of the day. They would neglect
their duties and not take proper care
of their children. In some foreign
countries the women are allowed to
vote and do just as they like but I
hope that 1t will never come to that in
California. Let us hope that suffrage
will never be granted.

The Vanishing Race of America

GEORGINA l.. SCHLUETER,
"a Balmy Lime, City. Age ii Years
The Indian, the original proprietor OF
the lordly domain out of which has
been made the greatest republic on
earth. has played a prominent part in
American history
The history Of the white mans in
vasion into the redskins country is
too well known to be repeated again
by me. With gentle hospitality the
Indians shared their food and their
homes with the newcomers, but as the
white people gradually increased they
were slowly driven back further and
further westward by superior, civil
lied people.
The United States government laid
out large reservations for the redmen
within their borders. But one after
another as the lands became more and
more valuable each day, these reserva-
tions have been opened to the white
settlers and the Indians have again
been driven further and closer into
narrow quarters.
Time and time again has the nation
al government made treaties with the
Indians not to incloSe them in such
close reservations as they are now
occupying. But the white people have
broken their promises shortly after

The Evil of Modes and Fashions
ROSA sfARKUs

This may seem rather queer topic
to write upon, but it is nevertheless
a very important one indeed. The great
harm that Paris is doing by giving our
women the fashions she does can not
actually be imagined.
How can a woman be strong and
healthy when her stomach is cramped
into every sort of ruinous shape, when
her waist is reduced to half of its
inclosed in shoes so small that they
pinch and smart?
Is it not shameful to note how so
many OF the birds which beautify our
country are constantly being killed so
as to be perched upon hats and thus
crafty the whims Of foolish women
who wish to be fashionable? For a
woman to wear a hat adorned with
wings of birds seems no less horrible
to me than If it were trimmed with
the hands of babes instead.
When women adorn themselves with
paint and feathers they are (though
they may be unconscious of the fact)
really degrading themselves. They are
showing that they admire the same
ornamentation as did their savage an
cestors thousands of years ago, and
that time and civilization have had no
effect upon them.
Is it not astonishing, then, to hear a
woman demand equal suffrage. saying
that she Is just as capable of voting
wisely as is man? Although / be-
lieve In woman suffrage 1 do not think
that the average woman of today de-
serves such a privilege.
If woman can ruin her entire body
and permit the slaughter of so many
beautiful birds merely that she may
be in style" she shows that her brain
Is not fully developed. that she is not
capable of voting for the best man.
and / do not believe that woman will
ever get her desire until she shows a
worthier character by turning her back
upon and spurning Dame Fashion with
all her cruel ways.

NO WAR WITH JAPAN

Seventh Grade. Age ii Yenra

scNchsh hSc
One of the leading questions of the
day is "Will the United States have war
with Japan" I say no, although some
people come from the orient crying
"War with Japan" But the more sem
sible people that return from Japan
say, mo war between the United
States and Japan"
In the first place Japan is already In
heavy debt caused by the China and
Russia wars. One of the countries that
Japan owes the most money to is the
United States. Japan has no cause for
war;
The intelligent Japanese will say:
why should we fight with the country
that helps us pay our debts? Why fight
with our best friends? Why fight with
the country that gives our poor people
and immigrants employment?
The United States is looking for
peace. not war. 1t costs money to have
war, Why not appropriate that money
for something that will help the ma
tion? Why shed blood? Why take the
citizen from his peaceful occupation,
his home and family to the bloody bat
tlefield? 1t in the end will do no good

Pittsburg. Kan, Aug. 13.-The trou-
BILE between certain Christian Syrians
and a number of nonChristian Turks,
which culrlinated this week in an at
tack on the forCaer by the latter, has
resulted in much controversy over
these strange people and the religion
they bring with them from their ma
tive country.
According to some of the Syrians
the recent fight, along with many 9TH
ers of similar nature that have pre-
ceded it, has all been brought about
on account of the difference in religi-
Gus belief of the two opposing factions.
Other Standardization Syrians-say
that the fights are a result Of personal
enmity betWee certain CnriStlan
Syrians and a number of Turks who
profess the religion of Mohammed.
Whatever the cause OF the ttoupie
may be the fact remains that the fights
always have been between Syrians who
are believers of the Christian religion
and Turks and Syrians who profess
belief in the religion instituted by MO-
manned about 1 200 years ago or some
700 wears after the advent OF Christ.
The Syrians and other people who
once assume the Christian religion are
seldom known to break away from It.
Many times they suffer themselves to
meet death from the Mohammedans
rather than deny their belief In the
Christian religion.
Mr.. Hogale, of the firm of Harris &
Hogale who is a Syrian by birth ana
raising, said regarding the recent crou.
blcs between the Turks and certain or
the Christian Syrians, that in his opln-
ion the trouble was not brought ABOUT
through differences In religious penels,
hut that the whole thing has been
caused by personal enInity between the
two factions. There have been a num-
her Of fiehts and disturbances similar
to the one that took place on Sunday
night, and which resulted In the ar
rest and later the conviction OF seE-
eraI of the Turks who led the assault
upon the Christian Syrians:
Mr.. Hogale has been in this country
for a. number of years, coming mere
from Syria when he was a boy. lie

believe in the Greek Catholic church.
he said that there was practically no
difference in the religions except Tor
the fact that the Roman Catholics are
under the r1llership Of the pope ana the
Greek Catholics are not.
There are at present something nks
20 Christian Syrians here. There also
are a number of the nonChristian Syr-
ians and many nonChristian Turks.
There are a few members or the Order

KANsAN FINDS OLD CoNIRADE.
Soldier Boys Are Reunited After Forty
Six Years.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 13.-Freeman
HARRINGTON, a Lawrence veteran, was
reunited with a boyhood playmate this
week when he visited Albuquerque. N.
NJ, for a short stay. Three yeare ago
A. A. Ellis, another old soldier of this
city. was spending the winter in Albu-
oueroue and was astonished one day
to meet a man in faded blue whom he
thought was Harrington. He had left
the latter in Lawrence and was sur
prised to find him in the south.
"Why, Free Harrington, what are
Won doing out here?'' was his joyful
greeting.
Gree Harrington? Do you know
Free? Where did you ever hear of
him ~ demanded the other almost
fiercely, shooting the queries with the
rapidity of a gatling gun.
A little conversation developed the
fact that the other soldier was Col.
Edward johnson, a former playmate
of the Lawrence man and so nearly
his physical double that the two were
often confused in the army. Johnson
had pulled Harrington over an en-
bankment by the heels one time when
the latter had been shot, saving him
from capture by the rebels. After the
close of the war they became separ-
ated.
Since that time the old comrades
have been corresponding until last
week the Lawrence man started south
to visit his old friend.

KERNS IS SOLD.
Topeka's Star Catcher Goes to Indian
apolis Club.

Henry ("Butch') Kerns, one time
prize backstsop and premier pinch hit
ter OF the Cooleysox, played his last
game for the big boss when he played
left field at Lincoln. Truly that isn't
much of a place for great catcher to
play but 1t wasn't intended as a meas
ure for his ability. For what has
Cooley done now? Why, sold Kerns to
the Indianapolis American association
club. One by one they go-those fell
lows worth solid dime-and yet some
folks say the Topeka team is better
than ever. Thanks to old Jake Beck
ley, the team does make more of a
noise but it has failed signally to de-
liver the goods. And yet what they
say of the old timers on the team is
partially true-they have not tried
much. When Cooley started by selling
Kaufman, Thomson, Boles, Landreth
and Harris, Kerns said: 'Wer, 1 wish
he would hurry up and let me go, too"
He had a mighty bad finger but it is
fair supposition that he was not
especially anxious about which way
the winning went. And he could not.
or would not, hit. 1t was the Whit
habit he had-and he had 1t bad. He
missed them all mile and caught like
a stuffed shirt. At that it is a good
safe bet that Kerns will make good in
the American association. If he does,
his attitude toward the Topeka game
will be explained. The new Indian,
Brown, and Johnnie Shea, whom
Cooley got on the trade of Boles, will
do the stopping.

SHORTAGE OF EGGS.
Hens All Over Kansas Said to Have
Gone on Strike.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 13.-Accord-
ing to E. L. Cramer, manager of the
produce department of Swift & Co..
the hens throughout the state of Kan
sas are net doing their duty. Within
the last ten days the shipments of
eggs which have been sent to Hutchin-
son have fallen of more than co per
cent. and there Is nothing to indicate
that conditions will be altered.
The shortage Of eggs is not only in
the vicinity of Hutchinson but over the
entire state. There are many localities
where tire farmers are not able to bring
eggs to market to satisfy the demands
of local customs. In other places
the hens have been good enough to keep
the home folks supplied with their
product but have declared a strike with
reference to the outside trade.
What has been the cause of the short
age is not altogether certain. Many are
inclined to believe that the period of
extreme hot weather just prior to the
recent rains had had something to do
with it. They say that there is little
hope of other than cold storage eggs
Low, due to the fact that hens. once
having ceased to lay because of warm
weather. rarely get into the notion
