A memorial on the death of Alvin M.
Lothrop passed by the board Of mana

Lothrops death was forwarded to his

rial was drawn up by DIR. Morrill, z.
Gates, former president of Rutgers Col

is as follows:
ALVIN NJ. Lothrop was most useful
member of the board Of managers of

generosity. enthusiastic spirit. his most
friendly and sympathetic address and
manners, and his constant interest not
only in the business affairs Of the asso-
citation and the Improvement and main

personnel Of its secretarial force and in
the young men OF Its membership. rem

most highly valued. and a deeply loved
member Of our board. His gifts OF
money to the work Were spontaneous
were often entirely unsolicited, and were
most generous in their amount and in
their steadily recurring frequency. Best
VI ALL WIFI ms many gtts ne gave hlm-
self in love to the work-his trained
business judgment, his deep personal in

the gracious charm OF his unfailing
cheerfulness in good work. for his faith
In Jesus Christ, and for his genius for
friendship and his interest in men one
by one. We shall remember him with
gratitude and love. To his daughter we
send the assurance OF our deep sympathy
and the loss which We all feel, but which
is heaviest for her."

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

An editorial in the New York Sun a
few days ago stated that If the report
was true that the legislature of Cali
in order to relieve women Of the ''un-
pleasant necessity OF having their real
ages recorded then the suffragists OF
that State had once more disappointed
their friends and well wishers.
Indeed!
One scarcely knows how to interpret
this frank confession of disappointment.
If one is a suffragist-does It mean
that by virtue of her faith in that cause
she is reckoned as stronger in mind and
more discerning in her appreciation of
values than the average run of woman
hood? And does 1t signify that she Is
without the weaknesses bred in her sex
by years of consistent training? II that
is the proper way to look at II, then
there is a subtle and quite pleasing COM
pliment in the statement, in spite of
the avowed disappointment That is.
there is a compliment TO one on that side
the suffrage fence.
To Set Women Free.
But If one happens TO be a disbe-
liever-is she not supposed to grow, too!
And is she ranked behind her sisters
in the way of throwing on these, loonsn
little yokes? Is she not independent and
wise and sensible-where is the compli-
meut for her? Because the implication
is quite plain that belief in suffrage for
women is supposed TO set women free
from all feminine follies and feminine
friIls.
But, Mr.. Editor. believe me, it never
will.
At least. it has not been cure-al
for shortcomings peculiarly masculine.
and IL seems a bit strange, anyway, 10
mix votes, policies and the like with hu-
nan frailties of one sort or another.
was il ever done in the past, before
women made their unwelcome advent on
the semi-public stage?
Want TO BE Consistent.
At any rate we want to be consistent
If we can.
And how can editors or anybody else
expect women TO be quite IeveI-headed
and unperturbed in the face OF that lit
tie question that for long. long years has
been made quite vital to them-'four
age, pleass?"
Some of them. probably many, are
rising above It. They are perfectly will
ing TO let the four winds OF heaven. II
the four winds like, carry the message
OF the date OF their birth Wherever they
will. for they know it makes not an

other.

 We hear and read a lot about the cost of bad roads and the saving to business, etc, by hay ing good roads, but few hours of hard iotling, or a breakdown in the mud, will go further to make a good roads advocate than all the facts and figures you could compile in a year. Jolt the man who has the means, has been the beginning of good roads all over the world, wheth- CT the country was rich or poor, civilized or uncivilized.
 The clamor for good roads now in Arkansas iS the working of the universal rule. The coun- try folk is going to town more and the town folk is coming out into the country more.
 The more the people travel, the more they get jolted on our bad roads and the better boost CTS they become. And let us hope that thinking people of this state, who hold the power and have the means within their grasp, will soon get enough jolt ing to start them to work with whatever facilities we now have to build some roads and stop some leaks in our private ac- counts, as we'll as in the public treasury,
