SUFFRAGE AND REpREsENrA.
TTON.

Is 1t true. as Is often asserted, that
one of the sexes is unrepresented III
the making Of our laws? The votes.
except in some special cases., are cast
by men. The women do not vote. Are
the women. therefore, deprived Of a
voice in the government Of the coun.
try?
A vote is an expression Of opinion
and a declaration Of desire. On what
is opinion founded, and what creates
desire? Opinion and desire. as relat-
ed to public matters, can scarcely be
considered individual things. They
are the result Of association and en-
rironment as we'll as Of conscious and
deliberate study. And there Is good
reason to say that the casting OF n
vote Is. in most cases, more Of a fam.
lily matter than an individual act. All
members of a family do not think
alike on all subjects. In some fami-
lies there appears to be no unanimity
OF thought on any subject. But these
families are the exceptions. AS a rule
opinions on important matters of or.
are shared by all the mem.
hers Of a family. This is not because
some member Of the family tells thu
others what to think. but because tn.
family atmosphere which creates a &c,
of political opinions in the mind Of
II member has a like influence O:
the other members.
Where the family consists only OF
husband and wife 1t is scarcely cor.
rect to say that the husband influences
the acts of his government and tina,
the wife does not. Probably in mos,
cases 1t would be correct to say tina,
the man Of the household casts thu
vote for the family. The subject to b.
decided may or may not have beer
discussed with tho conscious. purpose

A woman likes to rave over love

the marriage tie. But she will never

the word chic" means smart and the

In the old days the women used to
say hat a girls father was thinking
of her when her underskirt showed
below her dress. Nowadays her whole
family. all her relatives and all her ac-
quaintances could think of her and
nothing would show.

THE BILL.

ColllerS Weekly: Eight states have
laws which prohibit the sale Of liquor.
They are not able to enforce these
laws fully because the federal govern
ment. in spite Of the state law. pro-
original packages" of liquor into the
state from other nonprohibition states.
Just what happens is described in the
testimony of one resident of a prohi-
bition state, Mr.. n. f. Marshburn of
La Grange, Ga:
II to give you a concrete ex-
ample of our difficulty in dealing With
the liquor question. 'ss We live
right or the borders of Alabama. We
have in our neishhorhood one con-
Germ which. under the present law. re-
ceived one day early in December 81
200 pints of whisky; and on the 10th
day of December. or Whereabouts, from
another station he received 1000
pints more.
Senator Nclson-Does i, come in
pint bottles?
MI. Marshburn-Yes. in casks. Of
100 pints to the cask. Il II was
carried to the place of the purchaser.
which was just outside the incorporate
ed limits of La Grange. not more than
fifty yards from the incorporation
line: he there dehauched our boys,
the whole Christmas through, with
that whisky. The purchaser Of this
whisky deies us. He rides openly
through our streets. He is becoming
one of the richest men in our section.
The president Of our bank told NE not
more than two weeks ago that this
man had more ready cash at his COM
mand than any other.depositor outside
of the corporations in that town.
Three years ago. or a few years ago
before the prohibition law was passed,
he was one Of the poorest me We
had.

prohibition states the law they want
and enable them to enforce their own
regulations is pending in congress. It
was introduced on August 8. 1911,
and. of course. went to the committee
on judiciary. Its long slumber there
creates the suspicion that the major
ity of the members Of that committee
are willing to let it die with this con-
gress next 4th Of March without
bringing 1t to a vote in the house.
There are millions Of earnest peo-
pie in the United States who want to
zee this bill passed, and have wonder
cd patiently what has become Of 1t.
The reason it has not been passed is
that it hasn't been brought to a vote.
'if 1t came to a vote 1t would pass by
81 large majority. So much is gener-
ally admitted. Only a few members.
such as those who represent the
Busch brewing interests in congress,
would vote against it. Very few
members would dare resist the senti-
ment OF their home communities. \
The reason the bill hasn't come to a
vote Is that it has been held in the
committee. The responsibility rests
with h men whose names are on this
page (the members Of the judiciary
rommittee.) 1t is fair to say that one
of the men, Congressman Edwin Y.
Webb of North Carolina, has worked
earnestly for the passage Of the bill.
