THE ENFRANCHISEMENT
OF WOMEN

A few years ago no changes in the
governments of the world would have
seemed more improbable than a con-
stitution for China, republic in
Portugal and a House Of Lords in
Great Britain without the power of
veto, and yet all these momentous
changes have taken place in less than
two years. The underlying cause is
unquestonably the strong spirit of un-
rest among the people of all nations
having any degree of civilization,
caused by their increasing freedom of
speech and press, their larger inter-
course through modern methods of
travel and the sending of the youth
to be educated in the most progress
sive countries.
1t would be impossible for women
not to be affected by this spirit of
unrest, especially as they have made
greater advance during the last few
decades than any other class or body.
There is none whose status has been
so revolutionized in every respect dur
ing the last half century. AS with
men everywhere this discomfort has
manifested itself in political upheaval,
so it is ineAitable that it's hould be ex-
pressed by WON en- in a demand for a
voice 10 the government through which
laws are made and administered.

A st. Paul man makes a sensible
plea for more money to be spent in
preserving the health of the people.
and compares the meagre amounts
thus spend now with the large amounts
spent to furnish police protection, or
to stamp out cholera in hogs. He
says -
''By and by people will wake up to
the fact that human life is to be
valued more highly than property.
The United States spends every year
more than 81, ,OOO,O 900 for the cure of
cholera in hogs and tuberculosis IN
cattle, but not cent for the cure of
diphtheria among children. The city
health department has to fight all the
time to get money to take care of it's
children. If we were asking for it
for hogs, or cattle, we might hope to
get what we ask for. but we can't
get it for the children.
"The cure of disease is merely a
matter of money. Give US plenty of
money to work with and we will do
away with nearly all disease. The
police force of st. Paul costs fifty
times as much to maintain as the
health department, yet there is no
lessening in crime. Give US the money
to do it with and we will cure disease
in st. Paul.

The marriage of a couple of young
"kids' of Minneapolis at Hudson,
Wis. has again called attention to
the Wisconsin laws which permit run
away marriages and keep the diverse
courts busy. But the Wisconsin law
does not Seem to be so much at fault
as a bunch of officials at Hudson who
are after the money. Even the dis
trict Judge, who has authority to
waive certain provisions of the law in
certain cases, appears to make his
waiver as a matter of form and then
charge fee of SIS for doing so. Wis
consin should rid itself of five DOLL

President Taft now says that his
Winona speech was a mistake, that
he wrote it hurriedly on the train,
and that he didn't mean to say the
Payne-Aldrich tariff was "the best
ever" Mr.. Taft is remarkably hon
est, and has worked hard to make his
administration success with d2e re-
gard for his responsibilities to all
the classes of the whole people. Even
his opponents admit this, and ascribe
his failure TO win popular approval to
his lack of tact. or that he is not a
politician, or various other things.
To US it appears that most of Taft s
troubles can be ascribed to an old
fashioned notion that the people still
attach Importance to party lines, and
his mistakes have been made in trying
to keep the party intact. Taft got
nearer the people on his last trip than
ever before, and he may now be learn
ing how very little most people care
for the old party organizations.

ONLY A FEW CENTS

In the Stone Age family named
Smith consisted of grandfather, grand
mother. father. mother and seven off
spring. A neighbor named Jones, in a
moment of sportive inebriety, dropped
a large rock into the Smith domicile
and broke one of the children's legs.
When the Smiths protested he demon
strated by means of sticks that, as
the family originally possessed twen-
ty-two legs and he had broken only
one. his damage amounted merely to
four and half per cent, which was
a small matter to make trouble be-
tween neighbors.
This arithmetical method has been
extensively used ever since. A re-
cent tariff argument affords typical
illustration of it, as follows: Customs
duties amount to three dollars and a
half head. The Democrats, jud ging
by the bills that passed the House at
the extra session. will reduce these
duties at most by one-fourth. One
fourth of three dollars and a half is
eighty-seven and one-half cents.
Therefore. if a Democratic President
and Congress are elected it will make
a difference of only eighty. seven and
half cents to each voter.
The wool in an ord binary suit of
clothes costs only three or four dollars
so what difference does it really make
to the consumer whether the tariff is
little higher or little lower? The
freight on pair of shoes from Boston
to ST. Louis is only few cents: SC
Morris tribune., 1911-12-08

why should anybody object to twen-
ty per cent advance in freight rates?
The Steel Trust issued FIVE hundred
million dollars of common stock that
was water. on which it pays FIVE per
cent dividends; but if you divide the
dividends by the output you will see
that to the man who buys a hundred
pounds of barbed wire it really
amounts to nothing at all.
Hardly any problem comes up but
somebody is at hand to work simple
example in long division and thus
prove that the thing is really too
trivial 10 talk about. A grave is
only five feet deep; but it makes quite
a difference whether you are at the
top or the bottom. Saturday Evening

The confession of the Mcnamara
brothers who were on trial at Los
Angeles, CAL, one for blowing up the
Los Angeles Times and killing several
people and the other for blowing up
the Llewellyn Iron Works, staggers
the imagination. These men were
high officers in the labor unions, and
yet so bitter had the war between
capital and labor become in that city
that these men thought they were
justified in their outrages. Thousands
of law-abiding union men all over the
country have been deceived into think
ing that these men were arrested as
the result of a plot on the part of
capital, but now repudiate the per-
petrators of the outrage. The con-
fession and exposure will not, how
ever, react against union organiza-
tions, so much as it will put the union
men on their guard as to the kind Of
men they elect to hold the offices.

ar'' judges,

For several months there has been
a pretty game of politics going on
among the Fifth district women's
clubs according to the Minneapolis
News. There has been more or less
fgurative hair-pulling and adroit
manipulation on both sides. The sit
uation will be used as an argument
against giving the vote to women but
as a matter of fact it is pretty strong
evidence that they are becoming de-
cidedly familiar with the game and
will show masculine voters something
new if they get the chance. 1t is no
discredit to the women that they have
shown political 1cleverness in their
own affairs.

RAILROADS INCREASING
THEIR DOCKAGE FOR
PANAMA TRADE

There or four of the railroads still
belittle the probable effects of Panama
and refer to it as pond for "lily-
pads. All the same-please to note
and draw your inference-they have
taken good care to buy, build and equip
enormous new dockage facilities and
slips clear from San Pedro to Seattle.
They fought these new harbors, fought
them furiously, from San Pedro and
Oakland to Portland and Seattle. The
story of that fight would make serial
in itself; just as the story of cam
paign now advocating fiat tonnage
toll of 81. SO against all ships going
through Panama would make another
serial. These tactics recall yet an
other story of gratuity of million
a year to the little old Panama Rail-
way to suppress its own traffic, or yet
another of an agreement with South
American steamships to keep south
of Panama in all traffic rates, and the
railroads would not interfere with
South American traffic.
All the same, the very railroads
that fought the new harbors and prac-
tice these tactics are building magni-
fcent new slips along the Pacific
Coast. The very railroads that oppose
tooth and nail Seattle's project for a
fresh water harbor. today control the
best of Seattle's saltwater front.
Though the railroads may belittle
Panama. and the different harbors of
the Pacific speak disparagingly of.
each others preparation for the open
ing of the Canal, and though some
soreheads will VOW to you that this
harbor Improvement Is all 'hot air, =
the fact remains that there is not
port on the Pacific that is not under
taking on a gigantic scale prepara-
tions for the traffic expected from
Panama. If you add up all that the
federal Government is spending on
jetties and breakwaters and dredging
and canals, all that cities are spend
ing through sale of bonds on harbor
improvements, all that the railroads
are putting into slips and terminals,
the preparations for Panama on the
Pacific will not fall far short of

Daring and Death.

The close Of the year was marked
by signal loss to the American
school Of aviators, when Moissant,
at New Orleans, and Hoxsey, at Los
Angeles, plunged to sudden death
within an hour Of each other. Thus
the path of progress is strewn with
| the bones Of those.who blaze the way
The shuddering spectators at Los
Angeles who witnessed the death Of
Eoxsey, Is well as many people
Throughout the nation, have been
asking themselves the question; J.
| ii nccessary2n The thrill at seeing
the man-birds soaring through the
air turns to dismay and dread at the
heavy loss Of life that has accom-
panied the initial year Of mans real
conquest Of the air.
The necessity Of the loss Of life to
enable man to master the subtle and
intangible air was foreseen BY all
thinking men. 1t was not to be OK
psctcd that successful beginning
in aviation could be made without
the loss Of life, but the circumstances
attending the recent death Of Mois-
SAINT and Hoxsey suggests that their
unhappy fate were caused BY lack Of
common Judgment.
The American is noted foe his dar-
ing-nay, even his dare-devil-try.
This has been 81 undoubted advan-
tage to him in competing with his
European brother in the conquest
Of the air. Are not some Of the ae-

Eeyot on of Ilanta'1nn Negro Il
Strikingly Illustrated

Columbus, Ca, Dec Sf.The
devotion Of the southern plantation
negro Of ante-besluna sentiments to
= kind employer ami landlord was
illustrated in striking and touching
manner recently during the illness
of B. T Hatcher, a prominent
planter and business man Of Column
bus, who is now conyaIescing from
d severe attack.
In addition to other interests, Mr..
Hatcher has farmed on a large scale
III the Caattahoochec river valley,
his plantation south Of the city be-
ing one Of the lar9e, old-fashionc |
pieces with some times hundreds Of
negroes working on it.
When Mr.. Hatcher was seriously
I'll some negro III the city wrote to
another on the plantation that Mr..
Hatcher was III trouble" This
phrase suggested only one meaning
to the negroes there, for it did not
occur to them that Mr.. Hatche~,
who is normally strong, healthy
man, was Ill; they thought it re-
ferred to financial straits.
There was a consultation down on
the farm. and out Of the conference
came action. One day Mr. Hatcher )
family were surprised to see quite a
delegation of country negroes APP
proach the house. They entered the
yard respectfully, half-dozen or 50
IN number, walked around the
house, entered the rear door, and
said, through their spokesman, that
they wanted to see the old mars
ter. I" The wish was communicated
to Mr., Hatcher, who, though i'll,
told them to enter the sick room,
and they filed through the door
Mr.. Hatcher was touched to see
the boys from the farm, for he
supposed their visit was purely fol
the purpose Of paying their respects.
The spokesman, Alex Williams, said
rather awkwardly, that they had
heard he was in trouble, +" and not
knowing just what the trouble was
had called to see if they could be o.
any help. Then Williams drew out
a hundred dollars in bills, and ten
dered it to him, and the Others
profferel various things, ranging ali
the way from money to a chicken.
and other farm products Williams
said that he had bales OF cotton In
front Of his house and he would
gladly sell it and turn the money
over to Mr.. Hatcher if he needed it.
Mr.. Hatcher was 50 touched By
the incident that the tears flowed
down his face. He explained to his
faithful men that it was a cause OF
illness, not money trouble, and told
them how much he appreciated their
their call and kind offer.

The Bachelors Child.
baltimore SIM


He losses her above his head,
He romps until bis face il red,
He holds her arm length just to see
The wonder 81 her witchery;
He talks IN language soft and slow
That only little babies know,
Tie palIses now and then to gaze
Far of as II twerc in i maze,
And then with sudden sigh and start
He presses her unto his heart.
He sits her highness on his knees
And huns her nursery melodies,
lie shakes her rattle, jinglessbells,
And, oh. suchkwondrots stories tells;
lie. lifts her little face to lay
it, softness on bis own, and play
Her diinples were. the deeps wherein
A thousand drops Of dew had leen
And with his lips-upon lis brink
He'd lean. 70 them to kiss and drink.

lie sings her littleslayssoiiseit,
And when herslittIe. eye are closed
And all her baby grace rcposed,

Thinking Of lings 50 long forgot.
So far adown the long ago
Where from the tender echoes flow
q songs he heard, Of Kay love-rliyme,
On lips whose roses fade betime.
BE still--the shadows fill his room!
A wrinkled, lonely bachelors doom
To yearn for things that passed him by
To hold the memory Of q sigh,
To glimpse the shadow Of a face
Once sunbrightIwith its girlisi grace,
To toss in play and sing to sleep,
When all the lonely shadows creep
And Ger his heart a figure CLEANS
