1t should be remembered that in the
countries Of Europe there il scarcely
any country in which there is complete
manhood suffrage. In six states of the
union, and in Australia and New
Zealand women vote on equal footing
with men. In England, Scotland and
Wales women have more of the rights
of suffrage than they have here. In
Sweden and Norway, while there is not
universal suffrage, there is equal suf-
frnge. Mrs La Toilette favors suffrage
for women because it will widen her
sphere of usefulness and tend to
educate and uplift her sex.

paid a manly and just tribute to Mrs.
LaFollette, who, he said, for quarter
of century had been the best conselor
he has had touching all public ques
tons. He handled the tariff and the
trusts without gloves and showed how
both Roosevelt and Taft have failed to
enforce the Sherman anti trust law.
He showed that it is the tariff wall that
makes trusts and the boosting of prices
possible. When Roosevelt first became
president he looked over the country
and found 149 of these unlawful con
spiracies against the industrial and
commercial freedom of the people.
Seven years later, he turned the coun-
try over to President Taft and with it
combinations against trade. The Sena-
tor gloried, and rightly, in the part he
played in securing progressive legisla-
ton for Wisconsin. He did not talk as
partisan, but as one who has set his
heart upon the accomplishment of a
great work. To progressive Democrats
he gave just praise for their efforts to
secure the enactment of good laws.

MANS LANGUAGE TO BRUTES
Peculiar Click and chtrp Used to Start
and Hasten Horses Used in
Many Parts Of World.

The tale Of the farmer in the Ara
bian Nights who could understand the
language Of animals and fowls in his
barnyard probably had it's origin in
the ancient myth which asserted that
in primitive times men and beasts
were able to converse together.
In truth, as everybody knows. there
are certain sounds, or words, which
horses, dogs and other animals can be
taught to understand; and, on the 9TH
er hand. some of the sounds uttered
by domestic animals have a meaning
that man can understand. All this is,
Of course, a very different thing from
language, and yet it has a certain
scientific interest, evidenced by the
various Investigations that have been
made.
It has been shown, for instance, with
reference to the language used in talk
ing to domestic animals that people
unconsciously attempt to lower their
language by authorizations. etc.. to the
comprehension of brutes. very much
ais they do when they talk to young
children. A curious fact is that tho
peculiar click and chirp used to start
and to hasten the movements Of
horses are employed In widely sepa-
rated parts of the world. but some
times in a reverse sense. In India.
for example, those sounds are used
to stop instead Of to start horses,

The boy was Henry Morgan. He
began his career as a penniless. ILL.,

rose to wealth and rank. Some writ
ers say he ended his life in misery.
Central America and much of the
neighboring territory were under
Spanish rule. Greedy governors and
heartless soldiers wrung vast treas

ways amassed untold fortunes for
themselves and for Spain. Gallons
would come from Europe with pro-

OF course, these treasure ships at
tracted pirates as sugar attracts flies.
And the Spanish Government kept
powerful fortresses and warships in
the New World to protect their
wealth. The clash between Spain and
the buccaneers was everlasting.
The word "buccaneer" means "a
drier of beef" The buccaneers used
to make living by butchering and
selling wild cattle, until the local
Spaniards made life unpleasant for
them. Then they took to the sea and
proceeded to revenge themselves upon
their tormentors by looting every
treasure they could lay hands on.
They were not, at first, common pi-

Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory of penal
codes Is practically unsound and op'
posed to the modern conceptions OF
the relation Of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the
absurdity and disparity between pen
atty for crimes in different states,
Mr.. Smith says: '"rhe average SEN
tence for perjury in Florida is ten
years, in Maine one year; for larceny,
in Delaware ten years, in the District
Of Columbia ten months; the penalty
for arson in Pennsylvania Is twice
that Of burglary, but in Connecticut
the guilt of burglary Is twice that OF
arson; the guilt of counterfeidng in
Ohio Is twice that Of perjury. but in
Rhode Island the guilt of perjury Ia
twice that of counterfeiting.

Dick Turpin, the Hero of Wondrous Ride

There were lines of stage coaches

while a guard, armed with q blunder-
buss. sat beside the driver to protect
the lives and valuables the coach car
ried. Gentlemen of wealth had pri-
vate coaches in which they travelled
between their country homes and Lon
don.
l.: Naturally, the coaches often held
large sums of money and jewelry, and
the passengers were in the habit OF
carrying plenty of cash with them.
All this made the stage lines favorfte
haunts for highwaymen-
A coach would round turn In the
road to confront a masked horseman
whose leveled pistols threatened the
guard even, while his disguised voice
croaked: stand and deliver!" Often
the masked man would overawe the
passengers, make them line up In the
road, rob them and the coach, then

could be notified he was usually many
miles away.
The most picturesque Of Turpin's
feats was his famous ride from Lon
don to York-an adventure whose
truth some writer's doubt. Dick had
committed an atrocious robbery near
London. Knowing he was recognized,
he set out to secure an alibi. Mount
ing his mare, Black Bess, he galloped
to York. The distance was 200 miles
over bad roads. The journey usually
took four days. Dick made 1t in A.
teen hours, and his mare dropped
I dead as he reached York. When Tur'
pin was arrested for the London rob.
berry he proved by reliable witnesses
that he had been loaflng about the
York streets fifteen hours after the
crime-a fact that seemed to forbid
his having reached there by natural
means. Therefore. It was decided he
must be innocent.
Turpin was hanged ut York April
10, 1920.
