AN ARDENT SUFFRAGIST.

To The Editor--The suffragists are
rejoicing everywhere. We gain I'd

woman that had such little common

for women. so never for minute
had the false idea that honest men
had any regard for the anti-suifragist
type.
Rejoice, sister sqffragists, for our
good friend, and also for our bitter
enemies. Lord Tennyson said he
makes no friend who never made
foe" Z" When you stand for justice
and right, l believe your enemies
''are the salt of your life. The anti
suffragists argument has the same
effect on the wits of a suffragist as
whetting has on the scythe-sharpens

dull and blunt--as good no scythe as
no edge. As good no suffragist has a
dull listless one The anti-suffragists
are very silent these days. Couldn't

There is a suffragist in Anne Arun-

man who lived in a shoe, she had
so many children she didn't know
what to do; she gave them some
broth, without any bread; she whip

We are going to look out for our
own children, and try to help every
other forsaken child. How the suf-
ragists can talk, what long tongues

more than a politician. The antis
can do their share, but there is about

Ben Cohen, the young Russian held
by detectives as a clever office building
thief, today in his cell in the police
station told q remarkable story as to
his identity, asserting that he is the
only son of Alexander Sarcardin a
millionaire manufacturer of Moscow,

personal friend of Car Nicolas and
member of the nobility.
Cohen, who appears to have been a
blacksheep, is we'll connected in this

Members of the local Federation of
Jewish Charities. who investigated
Cohens story, said there was no doubt
that Cohen's father is wealthy.
Cohen indicated today that he would
plead insanity when arraigned for his
latest escapades. He declared he was
almost continually tortured by pains
in his head and that at times he seem

Title Remains in Defendant After
Judgment.

Judgment.
FaiTburn Ga. Feb. Is, 1913.-To
the Peoples Counsel: Last March
loaned $3.50 to d merchant in this
city. One of the notes which 1
received at that time is past due,
and / have secured Judgment
against him. ! understand he is
selling his property and I want to
know If the title to the property is
not in me. b A.
A judgment creditor does not acquire
the legal title to the property of the de-
PENDANT in the judgment. His judg-
ment gives him a lien on the property
Of the defendant, which he has a right
to assert by levy and sale, and when
the property is brought regularly to
sale the legal title passes to the pur-
chaser through the sheriff's deed. The
creditors lien gives him a right to levy
to the exclusion of all subsequent in
cumbrances, and by levy and sale the
title of the purchaser relates back to
the date Of the judgment. But until
levy and sale the title remains in the
defendant and he may alien the prop
erty. always. however subject to the
incumbrance of the judgment lien.
