WIFE PROVES She Can
BOSS E~OITOR-nUSBAND
Takes a Singing Fling At Him
Through Her Special Column
In His Newspaper.

Ho Kas.. Speciai-Mrs. Tom r..
Thompson of this town is a woman VINO
believes in having a little confidential
talk with her husband occasionally.
Tom Thompson is editor and publisher
of The Howard Courant. and ne lnds
1T was a paying investment when ne
induced his wife to edit a department.
i'm his paper each week. The truth -
Mrs. Thompson's STUFF is the first
thing the people look for in the lOcaf
paper.
Mrs. Thompson's department is under
the heading, written for Women"
(Men Not Barred). by His Woman"
Golden text: Let every tub stand on
it's own bottom"
Mrs. Thompson was wondering whaI
would happen if she and her husband
should disagree on politics when wOm-
en- are given the right to vote in Kan
sas. She had just been reading the As
sociated Press accounts OF the TAFT
Roosevelt TRADES in ohio.
Tom Thompson finally told her he
thought she would have to keep still or
start a paper of her own. He wanted
his wife to understand that he would
continue to run the politics for h
family.
National Suffrage Thinker.
"I did not become excited Mrs.
Thompson writes. II reflected some
what i'm this wise: Even If the bridges
are there, 1 will not cross them till I:
get to them. And 1 can't vote yet: I
W to get that first. And. then, Tom
has never tried to keep a woman still.
I'll jog on"
Mrs. Thompson takes a rational view
of this new condition soon to enter
homes Of Kansas. 1.-The theory Is often
advanced by h opponents of equal
suffrage" she says, that 1t will fail
irr efficiency for the reason that wOm-

will cause discord in the family"
Discussing the first proposition. Mrs.
Thompson asks. what is more NATURAL.
right or proper, than for a woman to
turn to the man who. in her expert
ence. she has found to be the nearest
right of all the men she has known2
When equal suffrage becomes an ac-
complished fact. for a generation or 90
women in their experience will make
mistakes and will nave to look for
guidance to men. more or less. as they
have done in many other things, and
as is quite right and proper they
should do"
All Depends On the Man.
Mrs. Thompson holds that as for dis
cord and family jars over politics, that
will depend entirely on the character
of the man and Woman
If they will quarrel. there are nj
lacking innuemarble causes" she says.
They do not have to resort to politics.
No doubt there will be some men who
will seek to exercise undue authority
in case their wishes are opposed. But
with that kind of a man any kind Of
opposition serves.
Il have known women afraid to join
a church without their husbands con-
sent. though he might belong to every
lodge i'm town. There are households
where all must go just as he says. She
can't even say where the o stove
shall stand unless he approves. But
such men are few and growing beau
tifully less every year.
Women are not so helpless as they
once were, and Kansas women in par
ticular are able to take care OF them-
selves"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DAY OF lRREGULARITY.
Professionalism Manifest in Small Vol
 ume of Trading in Market.

New York, Aug. 23.-With the vol ume of trading much under that of the preceding session, today's stock far ket gave another exhibition of irreg- ularity and professionalism. Coppers continued the prominent feature, with recurrent pressure against the railway division. The Panama canal bill was again regarded as a contributing fac tor, but this was offset in a measure by hopes of an early adjournment of congress. Rumors of 8 proposed suit by the government against the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph com pany, while not confirmed in official sources, caused some early selling of that stock
 United States Steel was under less restraint than recently, but failed to preserve more than even balance, de- spite bartering forecasts of the cur rent quarters earnings and an advance in the price of pig iron. Miscellaneous speclalties had brief periods of activ- ity at higher prices. the Tabacco is sues, Consolidated Gas, Asricultura Chemical and Mexican Petroleum gaining from one to three points, with nine points for American Snuff.
 Business becafe stagnant in the final hour, but prices crept slowly up- ward to the best of the day, with greatest strength in Amalgamated Copper and allied stocks, as well as American Smelling. The rise in these Issues received no little impetus from statements that round amounts of cop per metal were being sold at is cents. The one marked exception to the gen era rise was Chicago and Northwest ern, which yielded two points.
 Estimates of the weeks loss of cash by local banks ran as high as $S,0O0,- 900, but it was generally believed that this drain would soon be remedied by disbursements of pensions and other government operations. Bank ex- changes continued to expand and com- pilations submitted by the commercial agencies make the most satisfactory comparison with recent years in some months.
 Bonds were irregular, with weakness In Illinois Central refunding fours. Total sales, par value, aggregated S1,- 275, 900. V'
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

Five members of the Atheltics are to go to Baltimore of the International league, in exchange for Eddie Murphy and, Jimmy Walsh, the two Oriole out fielders, who have been burning up things in the international this year, says the Morning Telegraph. The players who are about to doff their big league uniforms for the uniform of the minors are Bris Lord, the vet eran outfielder of the Athletics; Hal Maggert, a yOungster secured this year; Infielder Derrick, who has been filling in; Catcher Ben Egan and Pitcher Houck. They probably will report to Baltimore today (Saturday).
 Connie Mack denied that the trade had been made, but he has been in constant conference with the Orioles, and it is known positively that every thing Is in readiness, although the papers may not have been signed yet. The decision of Mack to make the change and endeavor to brace the Athletics came when he had made up his mind fully that the present world champions have no chance of repeat ing or even becoming American league champions this year. Until he had full ly made up his mind to this fact he refused to change his lineup. wishing to give his old regulars a chance to get some of the world series money.
 The name of Oldrlng was mentioned prominently in the Baltimore trade. but at the last moment 1t Is said Con nie relented and made up his mind to give Oldring another chance to come back In every department of the game.
 Maggert and Houck go to Baltimore with strings on them and for little seasoning so that they may be hauled out at any time. The other men, it is understood. go internationally. Egg an. the catcher was unable to hit in the big league. Mack considers Bris Lord has seen his best days and no longer is fast enough for big league company, and Derrick needs more sea soning.
