Denver COL, May 26, 1911.


FRIEND SUMMRRlLL;
\ / have returned to Denver from my
southwestern trip, on which l saw con.
siderable and learned much that was oil
interest to me and my Eastern friends.
The railroads have made rapid strides
across Kansas and Missouri in the past
fifteen years, five lines having been built
from Kansas City to st. Louis, from five
to ten miles apart, just suitable for all
the large farmers. / had business which
took me to st. Louis and l had ample
time to study the conditions of twenty
years ago and to-day. Twenty years ago
you could count $50 steamboats, at
the lev ees. They could not lay broad
side. ALI had to nose in. To-day you
could not count three boats on the levees.
Such are the conditions of Kansas City
and st. Louis to-day. When the rail
roads reached the great cities along the
rivers their rebates commenced. Down
and out vent the great Missouri and
Mississippi boat business.
Five years ago rebates were cut out by
the Hepburn law. Two years ago a COM
pany was formed by thirteen of the
wealthiest business men of Kansas City,
and 1900 persons subscribed for stock.
Shippers, numbering 100000 were i'm
patient to have the boat service begun,
but the company decided to go slow and
make failure Impossible. Because 800
wooden hulls are in the Missouri and
M Mississippi rivers, the government has
appropriated twenty million dollars to
improve these rivers.
They have adopted the new steamers
which burn oil; have high pressure steel
hulls, water-tight ~bulkheads. The old
style stern and side wheel boats have
been discarded and the propellers are
used in a tube. The old time boats car
ried booms in the bow. When they
came to a snag log or tree, the custom
was to hoist it to one side and the next
boat did the same.
When the government saw the mer-
cha nts were determined to start a boat
service Congress lent aid. On May Goth
at 8 a. m. they hope to see started
what they have been working five years
to accomplish. The first steamers will
leave Kansas City for st. Louis. Other
through service will be established to
New Orleans.
1t is interesting to learn the conditions
in our country. l see much and what /
do not know I am in touch with men
who do know and l can soon find out.
Regards to all,
MAURICE L. SPARKS.

James E. MARITIME is bringing more
honor to the U. S. Senatorship of New
Jersey than there has been for many
years. When he refused to be bound
by the party caucus on the moral issue
OF approving the election Of Senator
Lorimer, OF Illinois, he set a standard
of political ethics that should be stud.

President Dias, who has ruled Mex
leo, nominally as president, but really
as an imperial dictator for several years
has at last resigned under force of arms
and has fed from the county. Having
suppressed a change OF rulers by bal
lots, an uprising with bullets became
necessary to unseat him.

time ago,
20 where is my wandering ma tonight?
o where a my mother be?
She hied her forth to the suffrage fight,
And hasn't come home to tea.
The range is cold on the kitchen trail,
The cupboard is bleak and bare,
For mother has gone to the county Jail,
For pulling the speakers hair!
Oh where is my wandering mi tonight?
My mother, O where is she?
She dwells in the "Box,"
While fathers socks
Are holey as they can be-"
This has never happened in the states
where they have full suffrage. Women
would become more digni1ed and attrac-
tive, because they would feel that they
were doing something to improve poll
tics. A woman we'll informed on political
affairs is a better companion to her hus-
| band and children that one who is not.
Voting would improve woman's mind,
broaden her interests, and help her to
| protect her industrial and educational
rights.
Women have more leisure time than
men, and so have a. better opportunity te
vote. While shopping women can stoI
at tho polls, cast their votes, and be home
in a few minutes. In Cheyenne, automo
| biles are sent after the women who dc
not have time to walk to the polls.
Women are more dependent on the
laws than men, for m find it a hare
task to support themselves. They arr
not fitted for hard labor, and all occupa
| tions are not open to them. Therefore
| women must depend on good laws fol
their protection.
Many people think women would no
vote if given the chance, but conside
the states where they have full suffrage
Women have been voting since 1869 il
Wyoming, and it is said that 80 per cent
OF them vote. The governor of Idah'
says that 40 per cent. of all the votes ar
cast by women. From these instances
it is apparent that women want only
chance to vote.
Women's votes would be a cure TO
bad laws, would reform politics, would
help the working class, would aid womel
in their work, and would improve tin
government. We have already seen wha
improvements have been made in TIN
government with limited suffrage. Wha
would full suffrage do for our country.

MEASURE TO PROTECT GAME
WILL SOON BECOME 4 LAW
Public Sentiment Has Been aroused
in Favor of Game Protection.

Atlanta, Aug. 17.-If the hunters and
nature-lOveTs of Georgia had not urg-
ed their representatives to take an in
terest in the new game law bill, it is
likely that it would not have gone
through this session. AS it is, the
measure will become a law as soon as
Governor Smith signs it, and will be
put into operation the first of Septem-
Der so as to be of use during the hunt
ing season this fall. The bill orig
mated in the house, with Representa-
tive Darsey, Murphy and Lord, and
was passed by the senate without
amendment. 1t provides for a state
game and fish commission at a salary
of $4,000, to be appointed by the gov
ernor for two years.
1t provides TO" county wardens and
deputy Wardens to be appointed Vy
the commissioner. 1t prohibits the
sale of game. Il limits the bag Of
game birds, except doves, to twenty
five per day. Doves are limited to 40
1t prohibits the killing of a wild tur-
key hen or roe deer for five years, and
allows only three gobblers or bucks to
be killed per season by an individual
hunter.
Non residents must pay a fifteen
dollar license to hunt in Georgia, and
residents must pay 81 for a county
privilege and SO for a state privilege.
OF course, people can hunt on their
own lands without license.

HOW TO REMOVE FRECKLES.
Wilson's FreckIe Cream is Positively
Guaranteed to Do the Work.

Letters are constantly being receiv-
by the makers of Wilson's Freckle
Cream from prominent ladies saying
that they have at last discovered how
to remove freckles.
Just because you happen to have
freckles is no reason why you should
always have them.
Mrs. NJ. J. Rivers wrote from Berne,
Switzerland, saying: If after giving
Wilson's Freckle Cream fair trial it
does not cure your skin, there is no
remedy for you. l always took the
best care of my skin, but freckled
dreadfully and could get no remedy
until | found Wilson's Freckle Cream.
One jar of Wilson's Freckle Cream
will cause your freckles to perceptibly
fade, and the second jar will entirely
remove them.
The druggist is instructed to return
| your money to you if it doesn't dc
just what we claim for it.
Try a jar today. You'll be delight
ed with its fine effect on your skin. If
your druggist cannot supply you send
30 cents to the Wilson Freckle Cream
Company, Charleston, S. c., and they
will send you full size jar.

on TROLLEY CARS,
But NOT FOR GIRLS
viii BE Placed on Rear to Prevent
Accidents.

Los Angeles, Aug. 1.-THE South
ern Pacific is making arrangements to
place handsome mirrors in the rear Of
all its Pacific electric cars.
The innovation, according to ofic-
ials Of the company, is expected to
please women patrons, but is designed
to serve more important purposes, the
object being to enable passengers to
see, before alighting, whether auto
mobiles or other vehicles are ap-
preaching.
1t is believed that many accidents and
consequently many costly lawsuits
will be avoided by the installation OF
the mirrors. There is some appra-
hension among conductors that pas
sengers of vain disposition may lin
ger too long before the glasses and
block the aisles and steps.

CITIZENS OF WALTON IN

Thursday morning, Mr.. Walker
and Ordinary Arnold accompanied by
Mr.. Harold in his touring car and
Mr.. Shields, in company with Super
intendent Christian, in his car, struck
out to look at the beautiful growing
county and, judging from the very
enthusiastic reports, they make upon
their return, they must have been gen
orally pleased.
They assert that everywhere they
went they heard the people boosting
Sumter county, and her good roads
and, not in a single instance, did they
hear any complaint from any one.
The people who had not been the
most highly favored, and they were
few, We're patient and rejoiced that,
as a result of the improvement else
where Sumter lands had in three
years time jumped from $40 to $75
per acre and some could not be
bought at any price.
Everybody had their hammer IN
hand" said one of the party, and in
stead of knocking they We're beating

On Friday the party went over into
Terrell, Lee and Schley and there
found a continuation of the good roads

light and that are proving of limit

The people in these counties met
Walton's representative most cor
daily and assured each one that
whatever profit they could reap from
the experience and expenditure thai
had been made to make these South
Georgia counties ri h, as to perfec

CANNOT KILL A Thief
WHO STEALS A HORSE
Petty Theft Is Not Cause For
Killing

Atlanta, August 17.-Many law abid-
ing Georgians incline to the idea that
when a chicken thief crawls over the
back yard fence, or a predatory for
ager enters their melon patch, they
have a perfect legal right to drill him
full of buck shot.
Such as hold that belief will do
we'll to read the following paragraph
from the headnOtes of a decision If
the supreme court, refusing new
trial to Sam Brew, convicted of kill
ing Love Dean in Chattooga county:
1t may be stated as general rule
that if a trespass on the person Or
property amounts to a felony, the kill
ing of the trespasser will be justifi-
able if necessary to prevent; but a
trespass, which amounts to a misde-
meanor only, will not justify a kill
ing"
This paragraph only applies indi-
rectly to the case of Drew, who fol-
lowed Dean and shot him after the
latter had stolen his horse from a
dance, but will be of general inter-
est to all who may have occasion 10
deal with trespassers.
Many a farmer has fired shotgun
loaded for business at thieves in his
melon patch. The paragraph above
quoted means that if the farmer killed
the thief he could be held for mur-
der.
