Thieves at Hickman.

HICKMAN, KY, April "a picture
of utter desolation was presented by
this flooded town today. Whether 1t
will be a view of tented city which
shelters 5000 homeless persons or an
apparently unlimited waste Of muddy
water that stretches out before them
and the thread of the levee Of which
men are working with feverish en-
ersy to thwart the river, is a question.
The climax of the catastrophe may
come at any minute with the break.
ing of the Reelfoot levy below here.
Hundreds of men are trying to
strengthen it against erosion and
should it 60 out Unexpectedly it is
feared many lives will be lost as
means of escape for workers are linn
tied. The crest of the river is already
washing over the levee in many places
and several ominous leaks have been
discovered and stopped in the last "a
hours.
Thieves are becoming active in the
flooded section of West Hickman and
county authorities are discussing the
advisability of asking for company
of militia to protect property. Ref
ugees continue to arrive in great
numbers. Their financial losses are
temporarily obscured by personal suf-
fering and anxiety over their kins-
men. On the hill, where tents have
been put up, the women of Hickman
assisted in preparing a camp for the
refugees distributing food, clothing
and bedding.

The water went onto the eastern

may bring their products and offer

Symposium of Logic Which Is Advanced To Show
the Justice of Equal Franchise---Future
Depends Upon Women Obtaining
Political Rights

Two thousand years ago when Pla-
10 stated his belief that women should
take part in state affairs, he asked
his hearers to refrain from laughing.
The dignity of the idea was recog-
nized by advanced thinkers only. To-
day The ~concensus OF opinion by
thinking men and women all over the
world is that women belong TO the
human. race-not as chattels. dolls, or
queens-but as human beings, with
individual rights and privileges and
that no laws, no policies of exclusion,
no selfish discrimination can alter the
fact.
With the growing weight of the in
fiuence of the numberless great wom-
en- and men now frankly admitting
womens right to political representa-
ton through her own vote. the time
is ralidly coming when these voices
must be heard. II Is the fashion OF
anti.suffragists TO quote meaningless
olatitudes against suffrage by the
near-great, who live in their own gen.
Grafton and pass out with Ii largely
because their so-called greatness was
built upon the customs and prejudices
Of their time. In striking contrast to
this we have here the opinions of in
dividuals, many of whom have lived
beyond their generation, largely be-
caue their logic is built not on
prejudice or custom, but on funda-
northumberland endure to all
time.
AS these sentiments spread and
grow, woman will no longer have TO
beg or clamor for the right to be a
human being.
