SOLOMON COMES BACK Still Insists That Bible UphoIds His Position as to Suffrage
 and Liquor Questions

La, N0IHy, DlOllICI LullOI, lllC replies in your Journal to my gos- pei article on woman's right to vote are all vanity, vanity, and vexation of spirit To all l have offended, let me first quote the Bible for my apologies.q Tim. 2:9-f5.9 Let woman learn in si- lenee with all subjection." How does this suit the woman who wants to vote and teach2 Let women adorn themselves in mod est apparel, with shame-facedness, and sobriety, not with braided hair, gold and pearls, or costly rain ment." How is this for the ladies who wear rings and bracelets of gold, and stylish, beautiful cloth ing, rats and braided hair? For Adam was first formed, then Eve. This clearly explains why woman should be considered inferior to man. Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled, has fallen into trangession.' This explains why the Bible places woman lower than man, and not fit to vote. Suffer not woman to teach, nor usurp authority over man, but to be in silence" Does this show that woman Is a second ary and inferior creature to man?
 After the Lord could not pass a beast off on Adam, as 1t regretful- ly says there was not a helpmeet for Adam Gen. 2-209 He made woman and brought her to the man" (Gen.2-22,9 never took the man to the woman, and she was not asked how she liked him, or his ways. Why should she be con- suited now? He, husband, shall rule over thee (Gen.3-16) A ruler Is a master, and they rule their in- feriors and not their equals. Even Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord 1-Peter-3-6) and this was the first family of the Bible spoken of in the New Testament.
 Now, l could go on and quote many more passages from both the new and the old bible to show that woman is inferior to man, but trusting that the foregoing will silence all objections on this point, will now proceed to quote some bible on the liquor question to show that the men have already brought our government up to bible standard, as one writer in- sists they should do.
 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those of heavy heart; let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his miseries no more," lProy. 31:1-7.) And thou shall bestow thy money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or. for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink" eDuet. 14:26.)
 According to these Scriptures 1t is right for a man to spend his money for anything he wants and a woman has no right to open her mouth about it, for its none of her business. Its her business to obey her husband. Isiah 22:13 says: And behold the joy and gladness eating flesh and drinking wine; let us eat and drink for tomorrow we shall die" So you see if a man wants to die as full as a tick, it's all right, the Lord will take care of him, and its none of his wife's if she has been dutifuI and submissive wife anu has obey ed her husband, the Lord will pro- vide for her,
 It was said of Christ, by disin- terested witnesses: Behold a glut- tonous man and a wine bibber," which means a drunkard GLuke 7:34.) If Christ was a wine bibber, why is it disgrace for a common man to drink, or even to get drunk if he wants to? Drink no longer water. but use q little wine for thv
