Five states in the union have de-
cIared for woman suffrage. The thing
Is getting to be rather alarming
isn't il? asks the Anderson Advo-

ton upon the surface there is a good
deal of savage barbarism in her char
acter. If Russia were as Vulnerable

small nations probably the more civ
ilized nations would In the, interest
of humanity interfere and put an end
to the persecution just as this nation
did with Spain in the matter Of
Cuba. i
In dealing with most people who
are in poverty it is not so much char
ity taat is needed as a wise helping
to a higher social and moral life. One
great trouble with many poor people
is their apathy which leads them to
