All this week he has been in En-
gland. Mr.. Smith and a few others
severed their connection with the
original touring party when they
turned their faces homeward, as
they wanted to spend some time do
ing France and England.
Mr.. Smith is a great lover Of
Shakespeare's writings, and in hil
sermons probably quotes from hin
oftener than from any other writer
AS last Tuesday was the 349th ami
versary of the birth of the grear
poet and dramatist, it is probable
that Mr.. Smith visited his tomb tina
day.
During his trip Mr.. Smith ha
seen much that will be of great hell

The Belgian Strike.

A compromise has been effected
and the Belgian strikers will return
to work. The following explanation
of the trouble in Belgium is from
the pen of a Hopkinsville boy. who,
Is a student at Swsrthmore College.
Pa.
April %, 1918.
Editor Kentuckian:
notice in the issue Of Thursday
the following article: Two hun
dred thousand workmen went out on.
a strike in Belgium Monday 70 force
the government to grant manhood
suffrage"
Having Just had a course in the
Government of Belgium, 1 thought
that it might be of interest to your
readers to know in more definite
terms just what the strike referred
to is about. 1t is not as stated "a
strike for a manhood suffrage" The
voters of Belgium have enjoyed mar
hood suffrage since April, 1893.
They obtained the passage of the
bill then by threats Of a similar uni
versal industrial strike. The thing,
that they are now demanding is a
system similar to the one in this
country. which furnishes a lone
vote, one value" standard.
The present system in vogue there
today is as follows:
One vote is allotted to every male
citizen of the age of % years or ov-
er. who is in the enjoyment of all
his civil and political rights.
A supplemental vote is granted to
every male citizen. of the age of Is
years or over, married or widower,
with legitimate offspring, and pay
ing tax of not less than S francs
(about $1.oO,) or, to every male citi-
zen owning real estate to the as
sessed value of 1000 francs (about
1900 00,) or who has derived a min
imum interest return for two years
of 100 francs ($4O) from government
funds.
Two supplemented votes are grant
ed to citizens over rs years of az e
who hold dip'oma from an insti-
tute of higher learning or occupy or
have occupied public office, prac-
tice profession, or hold a position
which denotes such a knowledge.
Thus we see that though ali male
citizens have the right of suffrage,
some have more votes than others.
AS the head of family the vote may
be doubled; after the attainment of
a certain educational rank this vote
may be tripled. But under no con-
dltions may voter have more than
3 votes. 1t is against the principal
of multiple suffrage that they are
agltating, not for the right Of man
hood suffrage. They have had that
since 1898
The strike, may add. is a peace
full one. No violence has been at
tempted. 1t differs therefore very
much from the similar agitation now
| going on in Great Britain
nave sent this to you in no wise
IN the spirit of correction, but be-
cause thought that perhaps some
or the readers might care to know
more aeout the matter, and to see
the basis OF voting in force in Bel
GUM.
! Thanking you for the space, | beg
