WE'LL STILL HAVE OUR JAGS

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. TO- -
Henry Watterson devotes full col
umn to the National Suffragist asso-
citation. In one paragraph he says:
There would never be a drunken
husband the less, no avenue of Wis
ia of feminine opportunity the more.
Two bad or foolish women to one
good, wise woman would swell the
sum of corruption of the election
The single objective point, if an,
objective point could be realized,
would be to rob the woman of her
grace and charm, and to brutalize
her, and when thus brutalized she
would take the field as the direct
competitor and antagonist, not the
mate and helpmate of man-his chi
valry, derived from motherhood and
sisterhood and sweethearthood, with
drawn from her-we would become a
world of brutes, she being physical
ly the weaker, to get the kicks and
cuffs, and to go down in the
strife"

MAGAZINES BY Freight
WILL Save 100000

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. - Reports
received here today by Postmaster
General Hitchcock covering the ship
ment of magazines by fast freight
during September, the first month
for which the new plan has been in
operation, show that periodical mail
matter aggregating 9.S59,1O4 pounds
or the equivalent of 3lS carloads.
was sent by fast freight in the third
contract section alone, comprising the
states that range from Ohio to Iowa.
If mail shipments by freight con
tinue at the same volume through
out the year the cost of transporta-
ton, including carriage charges, will
be about 100000. The expense of
sending the same amount of maya
zine matter by mail, under the
former practice. would be about 81
100000 year Thus the annual say
ing for the third contract district
should be about million and a half
Although the magazine mailings in
the third section are somewhat heay-
Ter than the average for the entire
country it is believed that with the
practice in the other three sections
there will be a total saving of from
four TO five millions, showing that

WHITNEY LOSES $25O,O00
MIIonaire's Adventures on the Eng
eIish Turf Cost Him Huge Sum;

LONDON. Nov. is. - Harry Payne
Whitney's adventure on the English
turf this year has cost him a cool
quarter of a million dollars. This is
the computation of English turf eX-
perts.
Whitney's luck since March has
been so bad that it has been a
byword on the race track.
Whitney has had more than forty
horses in training, but he has won
only IS races and they were mostly
small events.
Few English turfmen, even Leo
pold Rothschild, Baron Cassel or
the Joel Brothers, maintain racing
stables on such a scale of magnifi-
cence as Whitney. His trainer, An
drew Joyner, says they cost $4,000
year in forfeits alone, that is,
in sums paid to release horses from
their engagements to run in races
for which they have been entered.
On this side entries for the lead
ing two year and three year races
are made a year to IS months
ahead. When Whitney has year
ling he thinks promising he enters
him in 80 or 40 races In one race
to be run at New Market next year
he has just entered 80 horses. When
the time comes he will have to pay

Six times it has been shown that
murder was committed The first
verdict of guilty was set aside be
cause the jury had been summoned
irregularly; the second verdict OF
guilty was set aside because of "er-

third verdict Of guilty was set aside
because the judge erred Then the
governor appointed a special judge
presumably one who would not
err and the fourth verdict of guilt
was set aside because the governor
erred" in appointing an errOrless
Judge. The fifth jury disagreed and
an angry crowd tried to storm the
country Jail. So the case was trans
ferred to another county and the
sixth trial resulted in a verdict of

WOMEN HOLD
BALANCE Of POWER

WASHINGTON, Nov. u. AL
most 600 goo women will be elig-
ible to vote for president of the
United States in 1912 Those women
who are to be found in the six
Western states which have all eady
granted equal suffrage. the number
in each state who are eligible to
vote being about as follows: Califor-
MIA. 800, 600; Colorado, 100000; Ida
no, $4,000; Utah, $1,000; Washing
ton. 10000; Wyoming, $4,000; total,
92S 900
Those figures are not exact. but
constitute the best possible estimates
until such time as the census bur
the analysis Ct the population by
states. 1t is possible that before the
election in 1912 many more states
may give the women a chance to
vote for the presidential candidates,
as the equal suffrage campaigners
have such states as Nevada, Ore
gon. Kansas and Wisconsin marked
as trembling in the balance on the
suffrage question.
There are in the United States
today just nineteen states which
have no form of suffrage for wo-
men. although some cities in them
have. Those states are: Nevada,
Texas. Missouri. Arkansas, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Florida, Georgia South
Carolina, North Carolina Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl
and and Maine. The other states
have some form of modified suffrage
for women.
kentucky was the first state in
this country to give women the
right to vote. In 1888 that state
gave the school suffrage to widows
with children of school age and in
1861 Kansas gave the school suf-
frage to all women. Year by year
from then on, the movement for wo-
mans suffrage, gained strength in
the country, but it was always
granted in modified form, as a right
to vote on school matters, local
tax questions, municipal suffrage,
or In 1900 Nvvnrnipu Full
suffrage to women, being the first
state in the country to do so. School
suffrage was granted to the women
of New Hampshire in 1873, by Mas
sachusetts in 1879, by Connecticut
in 1898, and Vermont in 1880
In addition to the six states in
this country which have given full
suffrage to women, there are many
countries which have given modi-
fled suffrage to women, and full suf-
frage has been granted the women
by the Isle of Man, New Zealand,
South Australia, West Australia, and
in 1902 full suffrage was granted the
women of federated Australia and
New South Wales.
In 1908 Tasmania gave full state
suffrage to women, Queenstown fol-
lowed the next year. Finland gave
full national suffrage in 1906, and
Norway the following year. In 1908
Victoria gave full state suffrage, and
in 1911 both houses of the Icelandic
parliament gave full suffrage to wo-
men.
Taking the states in this country
and the other nations, which have
granted full suffrage to women, it
is found that full suffrage is enjoy

before he knows it he has raked
hisself up a meal that nourrishes
and sustains him for the battle of
life. He IS as wel1-nourrished as
if he had spent the entire morning
in growing and snarling and wear
ing hisself out worriting where that
meal was to come from. 1t might
have been a more nourrishing meal
had he Worried around, but we
doubt it. The lesson which we wish

is that they ought to go gaily and
happily about their daily tasks,

tenants bekause they are worriting
whether Cy Hoskins Is going to

Siderable of late This fly has
been a inhibbitant of our office all
summer long, Guiding our efforts to
smack him with Incredible inge-
nuity. This fly does nothing ex-
sept to stand around head-down on
the ceiling when nobody is in the
office, and buzz distracktinglv
around when ANYONE does come
in. He has no uses. He cannot
chase rabbits like Sim Whee1er's
dog, and taking him all in all he is
mean and ornery and useless and
annoying. He does not work for
his living, butts sits around the cell
ing and tables, washing his wings
with his hind feet and waiting for
people to come in and be ANNOYED.
What will be the end of this fly j?
Well, as soon as cold weather is
really here, he will stiffen up and
drop often the ceiling and clutter
up our paste bucket or our ink we'll.
Nobody will cry bekause he is
gone; nobody will sing his praises.
He was loafer, and such is the
end of all loafers.
The lesson to be learnt from this
is that people should work hard
and not bother or annoy other peo-
pie as does the fly. IF they do,
they will get themselves disliked.
Everyone will be trying to give
them a whack on the side. They
will get very poor pickings. and
when they go hence, everyone will
be glad. Subscribe for the Bugle.
