self into the proceedings Of the Per-
sian parliament. Also that the argu-
ment on that issue, in the summary
form in which they reach US, bear q
family resemblance to those heard in
this country. writ very large, 1t may
be, by the Mahometan preconceptions
Of the positions Of women.
The mejiss, or parliament, was dis
cussing an election bill and came to
a clause enacting that no woman
should vote, which was expected to
pass without dissent. But the deputy
for Hamadan, Hadji vakil ell Kovy,
evidently ar ultra radical, made an
extended speech declaring that wo-
men have souls and rights and there
fore should have votes. He called
upon the clergy to support that view
and especially on the merjtahid, or
head Of the Persian religion, to up
hold that right.
But the representatives Of the es-
tablished religion in his answering
speech %repudiated that view. Never
in the course Of a life Of misfortune
had his ears heard such an impious
assertion" He declared emphatically
that women have neither souls nor
rights, that such a doctrine means the
downfall Of Islam, and that he was
horror-struck to hear it spoken in
parliament. Under this authority of
the religious aspect the clause shut
ting women out was passed and the
presiding officer requested the report
ers to make no mention Of the Had
jis speech in the official journal. Or
thodox Mahometanism is yet wonder
ing whether the Hadji's remarks were
a blasphemoum joke or simply a At
of lunacy.
It is seen that this debate with
some embellishments due to the Per-
sian point Of view is practically the
same as the arguments heard every
where else. The supporters Of wo-
man suffrage claim it as a right the
opponents repel it as a s%ubversion OF
the established order. The fact, too
much ignored, is that suffrage is not
a right but a political duty. On the
other hand, to give 1t to women is moi
SO much a %subversion as to give it to
the common people was the opinion,
say, of shakespeare's time. The sole
criterion is whether the women as q
mass would perform the duty with
equal or greater fidelity and intelli.
gence than men.

REAL FARM NJ

The first international congress of
,arm women will be held in Colorado
Springs next month. Farm women
have been something of a joke in the
past largely because farm women
who have come before the public
lave been either freaks or fadists.
The wives and daughters of the farm
,rs-the real farm women-have stay
I'd at home, attended to their duties
and kept out of sensational print. But
things have changed and the real
farm women have come into their
own.
At the Colorado Springs meeting
the topics will include equipment and
beauty of and food values in rural
homes; laws Of physical life in re-
lation to the family, conservation of
time and strength, labor saving de-
,ices and simple hygiene; economic
7alue of women and children on the
farm, influence of clubs, oranges, and
other agricultural associations, care
If infants and young children. and the
rural church, reorganization of rural
schools and recreation in the rural
districts. Each geneal topic is broken
into many subjects and there will be
demonstrations by the Colorado agri-
cultural college domestic science de-
partment and the department of agri-
culture showing the menace of the
house fly, and exhibitions and illus
trations by other speakers. Not a bad
assortment of topics of real value to
the life of farm women.
Among the noted speakers on the
program will be Prof. W. M. Hays,
assistant secretary Of agriculture, an
authority on rural school work; Rev,
Warren H.. Wilson of New York, IA
nous worker in rural churches; Mrs.
Mary Pierce Van Zile of Kansas agri-
cultural college; Mrs. ]. A. Widtsoe
Of Utah agricultural college; Mrs
Scott Durand Of Lake Forest, ILL.,;
Miss Jennie Buell.. Grange lecturer OF
Ann Arbor, Mich; Mrs. F. E. Brooks
Of Colorado Springs and others. Prac.
sical farm women throughout the en-
tire country are sending notice Of
their intention to participate.
If this array Of talent and topics is
any criterion Of the present status Of
life on the farm for women, it must
be concluded that conditions have i'm.
proved during the last quarter of 9
century and the sun-bonneted woman
who talks with 81 over the yard fence
is only the person of a distorted vi.
sion. The real sweetness of farm
life is beginning to attract public at.
tention and the women on the farm
have been largely responsible for the
new condition.

CHURCH REVIVAL
Seating Capacity Of Church Taxed
Last Night-opinlons Of Some Who
Are Attending the Services.

The seating capacity of Court Street
church was taxed last night to ac
commodate the congregation. Rev
Mr.. Kelly preached one of the most
forceful and effective sermons which
has been preached during the revival
on the hard way of SIM" He touched
in vigorous and whitening way sins
in "high life," and the evils growing
out of certain fetish of fashion.
The early morning service was at
tended by about one hundred wor-
shippers. The success of these ser.
vices make the people to wonder
why they have not made the discovery
before.
Prof. Woodley said: "I believe we
ought to hold them each Sunday morn
ing during the year."
One said: Il came to the early SER
vice yesterday, and got SO we'll start
ed for the day that have come back
to get the same kind of a start for
today"
In speaking of the presence of pow
er Of the Holy Spirit another said:
81 am sure that nothing else would
draw this crowd here at this hour"
A young man said: "The three
days since fully surrendered my life
to Christ have been the happiest of my
life"
In speaking of the power of the gos-
pei man said: ut found me a bum
and a burglar and made me an hon.
est and happy man."
Each day at o'clock in the direc-
tors room Of the Citizens Bank a good
number of business and professional
men spend one hour in prayer for a
great revival to come on Hattiesburg.
This meeting is open to any man who
desires to join in this service.
Mr.. Kelly's subject for tonight is

payers are coming to regard it is the
most economical and generally effect.
i've form of government known, and
at the next municipal elections from
present indications several of the larg-
er cities of the state will vote on this
question.
Business men claim, that under the
present system, it is impossible to Sc
cure rigid enforcement of the law,
but that IL the commission form of
government were in force violations
Of the law would be less frequent, be-
cause of the more stringent rules of
the police department.
The leading business men of Merid-
ion favor the commission form of gov
eminent, and strong movement has
been launched for the new system in
that city. 1t begins to look as though
the advocates of this form of govern
ment will finally control the situation,
and If they do, it means an act will be
introduced at the next session Of the
Mississippi Legislature authorizing all
municipalities desiring to adopt the
commission form of government to do
so, when a certain number of voters
have signed a petition for an election,
provided the question carries at the
election.
