HUDDLESTON ON
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Highest Civilization Cannot Be At tained Half Bond; Half
 Free,
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

| To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 | The organization of the Equal Suffrage club marks the beginning in Birmng- | ham of an agitation which, as I believe,
 will not end until women have been given
 the right to vote. Progress points that
 way. It is to be hoped that the move
 ment will be taken in all seriousness by | those who join the club, for bitter and
 determined opposition will no doubt have
 to be met. It is fight to be made, not | by faddists or notoriety seekers, but by those who conscientiously desire, not only | to elevate the condition of woman, but to promote the general welfare of both sexes. | With the spread of education and the growth of cities, many great moral and social questions are presented for politi- cal solution. Perhaps the strongest argu- ment in favor of woman suffrage is that
 their help is needed in deciding these ques- ticns.
 To paraphrase Lincon's celebrated ut terance "C1viliZation cannot attain it's full development half bond and half free" Woman is civilizations left hand. We cannot afford the economic waste of hay ing half the species concerned solely with reproduction and caring for our young This is especially true in this age of small families and chldless women. A woman must be worth very little that she Is expected to consider as her sole life work the care of one or two children for a few years. Civilization needs woman in every activity. Already, by thousands, they put their hands to the wheels of commerce and industry, and they are needed as voters in the settlement of the | arc confronting our century.
 Votes for women is the smallest frac- ton of the woman question, but votes will prove stmulant to increased activi- ty along other lines. The spiritual life of our age demands that woman shall no longer be regarded as parasite on man. "a playthng and household drudge" believe that the female of our species has naturally as much brains and character as the male; the fault is with society, which forces her to rely soleiy upon her sex as a means of gaining those things
 that humans desire. Woman cannot at
 tain her full development while cloistered
 from the world like a worm in rotten
 wood. With increased responsibilities will
 come increased capacity to discharge
 them. With the right to vote, women
 will take more interest in public af-
 fairs; they will hold office and take them
 selves more seriously, and the tendency
 will be toward other fields of activity and
 a broader intelligence and character. The
 result will be that our civilization will
 have two hands to work with instead of

splendid romance and a drama that wins it's way to the hearts of the audience with cast in every way equal to their undertaking, is the Goose Girl at the Bjou this week. The dramatization of celently done, and all of the players who present it are deserving Of the highest praise.
 The story itself is worthy of origin in the quaint fairy legends. so delightful in their simplicity. It is built on the idea of princes and queens in disguise with the fairy godmother yielding the wand that brings to pass the hearts desires. There is a goose girl who loves prince travel ing as a vintner, and a princess who has lost her heart to an American am- bassador. where marriage in either case seems out of the question. The goose girl knows she's hopeless when she dis covers that her vintner is a prince, and the ambassador capitulates by sending his resignation to Washington.
 With wave of the fairy wand, how ever, in the shape of an explanation from the kidnapers of the real princess, and an exposure of the plots of the prime minister, who would have his daughter a queen, places are exchanged the goose girl becomes a princess. the princess the minister, who would have his daughter a happy uniting of lovers follows.

In view of the fact that several cases of typhoid fever have recently broken out in Birmingham the following in- formation which is being spread broad cast by the Equitable Life Assurance society will no doubt be read with in terest here. It is in the form of a pamphlet headed "The Public Health Typhoid Fever and Sanitary Crime and reads as follows:
 typhoid fever stays over 25OOO American people every year. This is a national calamity-and exceeds the number killed in six of the greatest battles of the civil war Every year nearly 100000 suffer from this malady. and the economic loss is said to ex- ceed $500, ,000,000. What an appalling sacrifice to indifference and neglect.
 "Typhoid fever is sanitary crime. 1t exists almost wholly because some people practice careless and unclean habits of living and it can be pre- vented by the enforcement of well tried and well known sanitary measures.
 Let us suppose that the people of San Francisco for instance, allowed the entire population of that city to con- tract typhoid fever and 25.0O0 of them to die of that disease every year.
 '"The civilized world would be ap- ralled and cry out in protest. our own people would be shocked into promptly applying measures to stop the needless suffering and loss of life. It would be a national crime to do otherwise.
 But is it not just as criminally wrong to permit the typhoid plague to continue, scattered throughout the country, as it would be to permit 1t to continue, concentrated In one city
 Cause .t "Typhoid germs enter the mouth and lodge in the intestines and may be car ried throughout the body by the blood.
 "The disease Is spread by contact and by the germs being carried from the sick room, and also by the typhoid carrier Typhoid carriers are individuals who while not afflicted with the disease. har- Dor and discharge from their bodies mill lions of these typhoid bacilli, thus un- knowingly spreading the infection.
 Owing to ignorance and neglect in the sick room, failure to disinfect body dis charges and to properly dispose of house. hold sewage. the germs are communicated to well people through surface drainage to streams, springs and wells and by other means. & G
 '"They are also carried by the common house fly from exposed outhouse vaults and filth in which the flies breed in large numbers.
 Summer resorts and camps are pro- life source of typhoid infection, owing to exposed garbage and filth that is allowed to accumulate.

 To the argument that the majority do not desire suffrage, the reply may be made that no doubt in slave owning days, a plebecite of the blacks would have voted slavery the perfection of govern ment. It is not because women wish it that suffrage should be given, but be- cause it will do them good and will bene- fit mankind. We cannot afford to deal unjustly with her; we cannot afford to govern woman like a conquered province. There are those who esteem the right to vote as wholly dependent upon certain masculine qualities; they say: "Women cannot serve as soldiers, hence they should not be allowed to vote" Woman may well reply to this pin headed de- iverancc by saying: "sNnce when did killing become a more noble function than child bearing?

on that cereal went into effect May 30, according to the statement of a
 local corn broker. A large amount of corn is being imported into the northern part of the republic where crops were destroyed or never planted. In this city and in the surrounding towns native corn is being placed on the market at about $l1 per carga or about fifty Centavos less than corn can be inn ported from the United States. The reason for this is said to lie in that the native crop in 1910 was very good and the market at that time was flooded and several large accumulations were entered into by dealers here and in the neigh boring cities and villages. This corn was held for higher prices until the revolution spread from the north into the central states and near Mexico. The various dealers became fearful that the stored corn would be con6scated or probably seized by the revolution ists or rowing bands of bandits and dumped the product of last year onto the market. As a result the price has never advanced and is said there is sufficient corn on on the market to supply the Val ley of Mexico for several months regardless of the fact very little corn has been planted in this dis trict this year. Corn dealers are speculating on whether the govern ment will renew the period of free corn after June 30, for the impress sion among them is that this dis trict will not be able to supply sufficient corn for local consump- ton this fall.
 Mexican Herald: President de la Barra, yesterday stated that the rumor that Gen. eral Treviio had taken up arms against the government was false. He said that General Treviho re- signed the military position which he had held on the frontier, but that he, the president, had asked him to continue for while until there would be no danger of dis orders. General Treviiio complied with the request and was after ward appointed to fill the place of General Mier. The president also declared that the government had been notified of the fact that Tia juana in Lower California has been taken by the federal forces, and that this fact would change his plans in regard to the sending of troops to the peninsula.
