Fewer Desertions.

The somewhat surprising state

Turkey Talk" in Season

Talking turkey" as defined by
an eastern authority, in which part
Of the country the expression ENJOYS
currency, is "a colloquial commerce
that may result in mutual benefit "
Whether this locution be limited to
describe mere yerbaf barter or be
EXTENDED to include an exchange Of
services and advantages, it should
be welcomed everywhere during so
special time as the last week III
November.
A traffic beneficial to both sides
is in consonance with advanced
ideas of political economy. The
Thanksgiving tr@fic based on turkey
should, therefore, be adyantageou:
both to the farmer and the grocer
to tie grocer and the landladyy &c
the landlady and the boarder. and
to all other social units linked in
ever social chain.
There are times when social In
tercourse seems in itself to he az
advanced form of economics. and
one of these comes annually on Tho
last Thursday lin November, On
that date. thea let us all resolve
to talk turkey with oui
mouths full of meat and our hearts
full OF cooperative thankfulness. -

amused by the popular discussion OF

pect that a mere change In the

acquainted with Bishop Anderson and
has the following to say OF the noted
prelate's style:
The bishops arguments are felt
because he lives them. His soul Is "
the universal mould which holds that
there Is In every man instincts, IN
tritions and endowments, which II
given proper environment and cu.ti-

Christian unity Is not uniformity. nor
unanimity OF opinion, nor platform
agreement, nor a federation OF separ-
ale churches, nor organic separation
and rivalry. He conceives Christian
unity to be that oneness In the yisib q
church that makes men know and be-
l.eve. He says Christian labels tend

will not come until the churches cease

Sufragettes Appear Before Commit.

Argue for Votes.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 22.-Suffrag-
cites and anti-suffragettes invaded the
legislative precincts today. and argued
before a Joint meeting OF the house
and senate judiciary committees the
question OF submitting referendum
to the people on whether the state
constitution shall be amended to per-
init equal suffrage.
The suffragettes far outnumbered
the ants and showed a greater IA
miliarity with legislative procedure.
The members of the committees
were in their best clothes. and on
their best behavior, but they insisted
this was in honor of the anniversary

her association represented 10000 &c

lators had done, but were demanding
merely that the legislature submit the
question to the people at large. Max
Eastman, who didn't bear trace Of
being hen-pecked. added his bass to
the suffragettes' song, declaring that
he represented More than four hun

TO secure women's suffrage"
In the oratorical lines, the ants dis
played some good samples. Mrs.

OF us Mankind Advancing" fired the
first broadside at Votes for women"
The philosophy OF the woman's
suffrage movement" she declared,
rests upon two main propositions,
both OF which are fallacious. The
first Is that democracy Is not COM

The second Is that woman's enamel
patton is not complete until she is

These propositions were laid down
