THE SUFFRAGETTES
Losing Sympathy BY Their Disregard
of Propriety.


The suffragettes have been occupy
ing a great deal of attention during
the past week. They have resumed
militant tactics, which include smash
ing windows, ripping up the cushions
OF railway carriages, assaulting Min
listers of the Crown, and, in the spirit
of Sir Edward Carson's threat,
breaking every known law" The re-
suit has been to reduce the number
of their supporters in the House of
Commons to mere fraction. They
have already announced that their
policy Is mo Votes for Women. no
Home Rule" and they have abused,
in turn, Mr. Redmond and Mr.. Ram
say Macdonald, the Irish and the La
bour leaders. Mr.. Macdonald has
been obliged to denounce their meth
DDS. and to refer to their movement
as a. class movement, financed by the
wealthy. 1t has been reserved for an
Irish suffragette to denounce Mr. John
Redmond as "a hypocrltc.' This. no
Nationalists to support women's suf-
frage--this and the threat in connec-
ton with Mr.. Asquith's visit to Dub-
lin. There are few friends and nd-
vocatcs of Votes for Women amongst
the Irish members and amongst Irish
Home Rulers first. And they have
been very patient.

object of Goth vandalism as early as
37S. when 1t was wholly destroyed. In
the thirteenth century the Latin en-
peror and the Bulgarians fought a
fearful battle here, after which Adrian,

Every invitation where the hostess
provides a luncheon. dinner or sup
per should be acknowledged at once,
or else how is she to know for how
many to prepare? My theory is that
every invitation should be accepted
or regretted just as soon as possible.
In the strict sense of the word and
according to the old-fashioned rules
of etiquette, calls should be made af-
ter accepting hospitality, but in this
busy generation and on account of
the great distances in cities one over
looks the fact that guests do not pay
party calls, for it is almost impossible.

Two Districts Go Out.

Before the county commission
ers yesterday Cloverdale district
No. 39) asked to withdraw from
the Meridian rural high school
district, and the same request was
made by patrons Of district No. Al
(Sonna.) Both were granted. This
leaves but one district, Locust
Grove, No. Is, in the district out
side Of Meridian. The action will
not affect the rural high school for
the coming school year, as the dis
tricts will be liable for this years
tax, the same as if they had re-
mained in, The rural high school
tax this year, however, will only
be fraction of what it was last
year, according to the Igures of
Chairman FL. t. Neal, and will
perhaps be one-ffth. One reason
for this is the large amount of sur
plus IN the treasury of the rural
district, Whether the rural high
school will be continued after the
coming year will, of course, depend
on whethar Locust Grove can see
its way clear in remaining in the
district, as there must be at least
two to continue the organization.
Ii the tax is so small that there is
no Inconvenience to the Locust
Grove patrons, the rural school
may be continued indefinitely.

Another School Election.

Another election is called for
Tuesday, April 30th, to vote on
$4,000 bonds for a new school
house and additional grounds, in
Meridian. There should be no
opposition to this, as every objec-
tion made by those who voted
mo" before has been met, and it
Is believed that there will be no
reason for opposition. The pro-
posed new building will be some
fifty feet or more from the other
building, and will be large and
commodious. Land will be bought
north of the present building as
site, and the claim cannot be made
that it is~a mere addition to the
older structure, 1t will be of solid
construction, not veneered, as is
the present building, and a first
class heating apparatus will be
provided that will supply both
buildings.

for connection with Boise. is
told that the line is busy, and one
waits a turn, with several appIi-

is secured, the patron gets out of

service that is promised later on
will be relief, but horrors! if
the service is no better and we
have to pay toll besides, it will be
