of two proposed electoral reforms, one being the Grant resolution for womans suffrage, and the other the Toler resolution providing four year terms for executive and eight year terms for judicial officers, with no second terms, and for the recall on the petition of 51 per cent of the qualified electors of officials who are proved recalci- trant or corrupt. Representative Hurst of Washington led the fight against both the resolutions, de- claring them Socialistic and a species of demagoguery. The Tol- CT resolution was defeated, by vote of g to g.
 The Grant resolution for equal suffrage was debated an entire af- ternoon, and a motion by Hurst to table was lost by a vote of 40 to 47. The principal addresses were delivered by Representatives Grant, Ragon and Baker, and against 1t by Clarke, Hurst, Brown and Hardage. MT. Hurst insisted that if had been introduced in q spirit of fun, while MT. Hardage killed 1t effectually when he assert ed that dangerous joker lurk- ed in its innocent phrases, which would disfranchise the men if it were adopted, and turn the gov ernment over wholly to the wom- en. On the final roll-call to inde- fnitely postpone, the resolution re- ceived only the unlucky thirteen votes.
 Another radical change in the law which the lawmakers declar- ed was too far advanced for our present state of civilization, was the bill by Senator Christian proyi- ding for the abolition of capital punishment. Senator Martin fay- ored the bill, declaring that to take human life by law is relic of bar barism unjustified by Christianity. Senator Green said to remove the certainty of punishment would be to encourage crime, and Senator Henderson urged that 1t would in- crease lynching, "the most heinous of all crimes, which is due more than anything else to the lax en- forcement of the law" A motion by Senator Covington to indefini- tely postpone was carried, Is to B.

OPPOSE WOMEN VOTING Reader Thinks Idea Wrong, and Points Out Another Plan For
 Elevation of Women

Editor The Journal. -I think Voter" IS right, so far as there being another side to women vot- ing. 1 wish to repeat in the begin ing the old story, "A good woman is the greatest of all Gods ere ation,' and as such should com mand the respect of every man. But is such the case since women have begun to usurp the place of men in business places and public affairs?
 do not doubt the virtue, hon. esty or ability of many of these women to fill the places they oceu- py. But are they, in these positions, filling the God-giyen mission of women? Are there not today thou sands of girls aping all things mas cufine, and to whom the old adage can never be applied, just because mother, sister and aunt are so busy filling some position that father or brother should be filling. Or else they are taking up so much time talking woman suffrage visiting the clubs that they hayeno time to attend to the God-given mission of women, that of attending to their own children.
 Now in the rural districts this is not so noticeable, nor do women clamor so much for the privilege of voting, but take it in our large towns and cities and we will find 1t the case where numbers of child ren hardly know they have a moth CT until they are nearly grown. And there we also find women(fil- ling some situation that should be filled by a man)who do not like to confess that they are a wife, mother or a grandmother And many such as these are the strong est advocates of woman suffrage.
 Now as this is an age of progress, which we all admit, along what lines can women obtain the best results? In my opinion the best re- suits could be obtained like this.
 First, abolish the idea of woman suffrage for a few thousand years, and organize womens clubs, admit ing the girls that they may be taught that virtue Is a priceless gem, God-giyen to every woman, for her to guard and protect so that succeeding generations may look back upon the work of moth- CT and grandmother and see a work accomplished that has done more to make happy homes and law-abiding citizens among men
