 No, it is for that l am doing this, she replied tearfuly. Two of the women were sentenced to six months, two were bound over to keep the months two were bound over to keep the peace and two were acquitted

SESSION STARTLES
 HIS COLLEAGUES

Washington, March '2S.-Representative Ssson of Mississippi, democrat, startled his political colleagues in the House to- day by charging that the democratic party was not sincere in it's protestation of economy He sought to have stricken from the diplomatic appropriation bill an item of S10,000 for expenses of the Amer ican delegates to the next general assem- by of the International Institute of Agri- culture.
 "I am tired of this prating about economy by the democratic members of the House." he said, and the absence of it's practice. We preached economy when the republicans were in power and we fail to practice it when we have the opportunity. I am criticising no individual on this side of the chamber, but the dem ocratc party will have to face the criti- cism of the country and bear the brunt Of that criticism
 Several democrats criticised Mir. Sisson and his motion was lost. The bill carry ing $500 coo was passed.

THANKSGIVING FOR ALL.

Despite wars and elections, national
and International upheavals this year,
eatables for the Thanksgiving dinner
will be cheaper Everything good to
eat will cost less this Thanksgiving
say merchants. and they are the ones
who know. Poor as well as rich can
enjoy bountif,Il dinner which, after
all, is an important part of Thanks
giving. Turkey, chicken, ducks. geese
fruits will all be well within the reach
of the average pocketbook. And, too
some of the staple Thanksgiving deli
cacies will be cheaper than they have
been for years. Think of it. pumpkin
for those favorite old pies can be
bought for 10 cents apiece. big ones
at that. Turkey sells for 25 cents a
pound this year: but they cost 2S cents
last Thanksgiving. Chicken. ducks
and geese will sell for l5 cents
pound this season. Cranberries will
cost the Thanksgiving buyer only 8
cents quart, and mixed nuts 10
cents. Apples are cheaper than ever
before; they sell for from 35 to 80
cents a bushel.
With these prices in mind anybody
can finance the Thanksgiving dinner
this year.

THE BETTING EVIL.

The past presidential campaign was
productive of much betting. This pc
culiar form of gambling fourished
Likewise the football season affords a
source for the culture of the evil.
The danger of betting lies not in the
money lost or the money gained with
out equivalent. The danger lies in
the passion or craze which is develops
for getting something for nothing 1t
is the thief qualities which it develops
that are dangerous While an honest
gambler is not a thief, he resembles
one in that he gives no returns. But
whether it is pitching pennies at a
crack, playing pitch in the parlor. bet
ting on college athletics, or standing
at the roulette-wheel, the basic motive
is always the same-the desire to get
something for nothing. And. however
veiled, that is always essentially a
sordid and vicious desire.
In one sense betting is worse than
tsealing. 1t develops into a passion
and craze-stealing does not. 1t is
a vicious and contemplate way of get
ting a persons money without giving
any return. 1t is high gambling that
brings the indictment, but it is small
gambling that creates the passion that
leads to the high.
Nothing is more destructive to
morals than gambling. Nothing is
more alluring to men and women of
weak character than the elusive hope
of getting something for nothing. 1t
is symptom of jaded moral sense,
of a tainted honesty and blunted
honor Surely college students should
not be addicted to this evil.

STATUS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Woman suffrage carried in four of
the five states which voted on it at
the last election. 1t failed in Wis
consin. There is equal suffrage now
in Wyoming. Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
Washington, California. Arizona.
Oregon, Kansas and Michigan. These
states have seventy electoral votes
and two and a half million enfran-
chised women.
The result of the vote on the pro-
position in Michigan has greatly en-
couraged the equal suffrage leaders.
1t means that the cause is advancing
to the East All the other woman
suffrage states are west of the Mis-
sissippi. Michigan's attitude shows
that the demand is not sectional
one. A New York newspaper says
the tide cannot now be turned.
Plans are being made for early
campaigns in New York. Indiana. Illi-
nois. Wisconsin and Ohio. The wo-
man suffrage amendment to the con-
stitution of Ohio was voted down in
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-11-22

September. The leaders of the wo-
mems cause think that Montana and
Nevada are ready now to join the
other Rocky Mountain states in equal
suffrage.
The United States is recognized as
the birthplace of the idea of woman
suffrage although the country has
been slow in establishing it. The
London Times has conceded this to
our country and recalls that a de-
mand was made for equal suffrage
when the Constitution was con-
structed in 1889. But the proposition
was not tried out in this country
until it was put in the constitution
of Wyoming in 1869.
New Zealand led the world and es-
tablished equal adult suffrage in
1898, it being the first place to try it.
Finland and Norway have followed.
Great Britain is now the center of
much agitation. America, though, is
the place where real progress is be-
ing made. This country is beginning
to show the world that a suffragette
