Suffrage a Failure.

Suffrage, described by it's ad-
vocates as the panacea for all po-
litical evils, is working havoc a.
mOng those very women who
have been given the vote. Wo-
men who have obtained the fran
chiSe are creators of a political
monster that has turned UPON
their sex with appalling results,
have had more than ordinary
opportunity to observe The work
ing of suffrage, and l consider
the result not only unsatisfacto-
ry, but disastrous.
1t is unsatisfactory because the
majority of women not only do
not care to vote, but have no in
terest whatever in suffrage.
| have found that women in
politics are no better than men.
The women of Colorado have had
suffrage nearly twenty years,
but they are no better off eco
nomically, or in any other way,
than the women of anti-suffrage
states.
The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw
is quoted as saying there has ne
yer been a man or woman advO-
cate of equal suffrage who has
done any unlawful act. | want
to say to her that there are hun
dreds Of men and women advo-
eating woman suffrage who scorn
the law, denounce the bible,
trample our flag, and work to
tear down our constitution. BY

IdIsness Enforced by
Botchy Statesman

That the legislation of the Gen
eral Assembly last winter was
''botchy" in the extreme is now
generally recognized. Hardly a
day passes but that some blum
der is discovered in one of the
hundreds of new laws passed or
in the multitudinous changes
made in the General Code. The
courts must work overtime in
interpreting the vast mass of
legislation, and the professional
brethren nov gleefully realize
the truth of Attorney-General
Hogan's declaration that this is
the Augustan period of the Ohio
bar"
From all over the state come
serious complaints as to tn e
Greenlund child labor law. In
some cities the authorities have
openly declared that they will
not try to enforce it, owing to its
impracticability aid the hard
ships it entails when an attempt
is made to give it effect. The
author of the law has recently
felt constrained to explain its
complications without affording
enlightenment, however; and the
Attol ney- General has endeavor
ed to smooth matters over by
saying that IS meHnt 16-refer

thor of the law. by the way, ha
just been appointed Lieutenant

and this is one of the times"
Senator Works of California, as
serting that the Fall resolution consti-
tuted declaration that the United
States is prepared to make war on
Mexico if Americans there were not
protected, urged that no hasty action
be taken.
Senator Fall averred that every act
of his had been prompted with the
earnest desire to prevent war and
that he had vainly sought to bring the
former administration to a realization
of the fact that a stern Mexican policy
would have prevented rather than
precipitated war.

To Settle Old Land Case.

Hannibal, NO., July 18.-After fiji
ty-nine years a land case is soon to
be settled between j. B. Watson Of
Rails county, No., and the Govern
ment.
In 1854 Watson, when but Is years
old, bought $40 acres Of land four
miles south Of Farber, paying 12a
cents per acre. The total cost Of the
land was 90. In 1867 he learned Of
a decision rendered by the Interior
Department which barred minors
from entering land.
After fifty-nine years Watson en-
ployed an attorney, who succeeded
in having his claim allowed. He
could have had the money years ago,
but declined to take thetest oath that
was administered during and. after
the Civil War. e.
He was Z Confedefate soldier and
refused 70 hke any oath that would
abridee hi6 honest belief.

TAFT MEXICO DELAY
BLAMED FOR CRISIS
BY TWO SENATORS
Fall and Lodge Look to President
Wilson to Undo Harm He
-Fell Heir To.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-An
attempt by Senator Fall of New Mex
leo to force the Senate to enunciate a
strong policy of protection for Amer
lean citizens in foreign countries to-
day precipitated lively debate.
It demonstrated appreciation on the
part of Senators of the gravity of the
Mexican situation and the necessity
for a determined stand by the United
States.
Denunciation of the policy of delay
on the part of the Taft administration
was emphatically pronounced by Sem
ator Fall and blamed by him for the
present critical situation, which, he
said, could have been prevented by a
sterner national policy.
This declaration was approved by
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, who
expressed disappointment that the
new President and new Secretary of
State had not inaugurated a different
Mexican policy.
That the deicacy of the situation
was keenly appreciated was evinced
by the insistence Of many Senators,
led by Senator Bacon. chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee, that
any proposed pronounciamento be
deliberately and seriously considered
before being acted upon.
Words Are Serious Things"
Senator Fall called up his resolu-
ton which would commit the Govern
ment to full protection OF fhe cons6-
tutional rights Of American citizens in
foreign nations.
