thought into thousand minds at the

adviser who does not require to be
sought. but comes to you briefly ev-

tracing your private affairs. Newspa-
pers, therefore, become more neces-
sary in proportion as men become
more equal individuals, and more to
be feared. To suppose that they only
serve to protect freedom would be
to diminish their Importance; they
maintain civilization.-De Tocqueville.

HE DIDN'T VOTE ON WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE He Would If He Could, But His Wife Wouldn't
 Let Him

The suffragists are out in force at the State Fair grounds and zealously guard the three ballot boxes where the passer- by is requested to vote for or against womans suffrage in Alabama. Either a pretty young thing" or more stately matron, armed with a handful of straw ballots, hovers around the outskirts of the crowd and while not offering anything for sale, gives to young and old alike a chance to cast ballot for or against the cause"
 Sometimes perhaps it is curiosity that causes her to do so, the guard will peep over the voters shoulder and if the little black cross happens to fall In the for" square. there is a delightful 'Oh, thank you, sir" and ESQ kind of you.'' And If the voter is little slow, perhaps, the same guard will kindly offer to place the ballot in the box for him.
 But the life of the suffragette guard at the fair is no easy one. Sometimes they strike q "grouch." when they tackle a man for his vote, and yesterday for q minute it looked like perhaps there might be a family row near one of the boxes. The guard had asked q man to cast his vote on the matter. when suddenly his wife appeared on the scene. He had the ballot in his hand, and it might have been that the wife thought that someone was trying to sell him "a gold brick. but snev- ertheless. of course, it was her duty to see what was up. She did, and the bal lot was handed back to the guard and the family strolled on down the Midway
 The voting is pretty heavy. The suf- fragists, adorned with black and brown ribbon with the legend. Votes for Wonl- en- written thereon, are everywhere. Yes terday several of the women said that they were not quite" sure but that they Thought the vote was going about even.
