One who seeks an explanation OF
why woman suffrage won in Michigan
and lost in Wisconsin, Illinois and
Ohio. is usually referred to the fluid
that made Milwaukee famous. Women
now have the right to vote in ten
states, with ten million inhabitants,
but women suffrage has been beaten
everywhere east of the Mississippi ex-
cept in Michigan. Its defeat in states
as progressive as Wisconsin and Ohio
is especially significant. The usual ex-
PLANTATION is that the liquor interests
fight equal suffrage and is able to turn
the scales against it wherever it is
powerful, as true-blue conservatism
opposes it everywhere.
This explanation Is unfortunate for
the liquor interests. The recent prohi-
bition wave that swept many states
seems to have spent its force. On the
whole, statewide prohibition has
scarcely justified itself. We believe
there are more effective ways of wag-
ing war on alcohol, and certainly that
is cause which needs the highest ef-
ficiency it can possible develop-it can
not afford to waste an ounce of ener-
gy. However, if it should become gen.
orally understood that the liquor inter-
ests are determined upon die-in-the-
last-ditch opposition to woman suf-
frage, very troublous times are in
store for those interests. It is not, at
the best, an interest that enjoys much
public appreciation. Let it get itself
labeled before the country as the par
amount bar between women and the
ballot, and the shower of brickbats in
it's direction will probably exceed any
thing known in our recent political
meteorology. We advise the interest
to avoid the label.-Saturday Evening

The MONEY TRUST INVESTlGA-
TON.
TlON.

While the stock market was exper-
Iencfng it's decline last week, the tes-
timony from the Pujo committee, at
Washington, was made the most of, as
has been said, to create the impress
sian Of trouble ahead. If out Of this
nvestigation shall come an object les
son as to the country's Banking and
Currency needs, the uncomfortable
msth0ds Of obtaining the information
will be forgotten. Our banking forces
are scattered units in an unofficered
and unurganized army. Under natural
Aws there has grown up principally
IN New York; a united and controlled
association Of moneyed interests as
5he only bulwark of safety which we
1aye in times of panic. This was de-
nous trated in 1907, when the panic
;1res were extinguished by this unity
OF forces in New York Unless this
haG been done, far greater destruction
would have visited the whole country
arc many years would have been re-
auired for recovery.
As far as it is needed to guard
against such unity of money inter
ssts fit it is necessary at alD, there
is only one way to effect it, and that
is through the establishment of a Ma
'siouaI Central institution, with the
Government and the country's bank
.srs and business men represented in
its directorate, and it's facilities open
to, equal privileges for every bank in
tie United States.
All the troubles which are troub
ding the Pujo Committee would be
abolished; by such ystem.-'Bache

The Prison Reflector a paper print
en- in the penitentiary at Bismarck is
devoted largely to boosting for the
governor and the warden. The publ
cation is primarily intended to circu-
late amongst the convicts but mas
some circulation over the state and
it would appear that it is the official
mouthpiece of Helstrom. There can
be no logical objection to the paper
or what it may contain, however, it
reminds one of the fellow that was
trying to boost himself over the fence
by lifting on his boot-straps.

An angry mob in South Carolina
shot to death a negro who refused to
pay a note. Governor Blease has ad
vocated lynching and in order that the
governor might know that the mob
was in full sympathy with his attitude
they left card pinned on the victim
on which was written "Negros must
pay their debts" signed Friends OF
Governor Blease." The governor will
have something now to occupy his at
tention. By his public statement he
has encouraged murder and it is not
unlikely that ne may be called to &C.
count for his attitude .

"The champion cockerel of 1907

too, have fetched as much as $500 a
pair. ... .. ........
'"The purchase of champion birds is
to degree a speculation; they may
die at any minute. The advertisement
however, is in the possessing of such
masterpieces of the breeders handi-

1926 is an exception; it is still living.
This wonderful bird was originally
shown at the Dairy Show, in London,
England, where it secured first prize,
being bought for $3.50 and resold for
$3.50. At another show, a few days
later, the breeder of this bird exhibit
ed another cockerel believed by some
to be better than the first. This was
also sold for $3.50 and resold later for
$4O0.
Soon after the two birds met, and
the $3.50 bird, after beating his mate,
was bought for 1925, by a wellknown
lady fancier. This is the highest

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside appears an interesting arti-
Gle entitled us There an Egg Type
in the Domestic Fowl?" Following is
an extract:
Some years ago one Of the best
Known poultrymen in America, vet
eran of many years experience, was
\ visitor at the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station. In going over
the pens one bird struck his eye as of
outstanding merit as a layer. In his
WORDS she represented the ideal, the
highest expression of the egg type
He demonstrated to an attending
group of students the several points
of body conformation which proved
that this bird was one Of the worlds
great layers. Sad it was, but true,
that paragon of producers, though
having always enjoyed the best OF
health and vigor, was found by exam
ination of her trap-nest record to have
produced the magnificent total of
twenty-eight eggs in year!
$50 far as We now know there is
no one external character, nor any
group of such characters, which will
enable one to say with any certainty
beforehand that one bird will make a
high producer and another a low pro.
ducer. One can tell that bird is go.
ing to lay, that she is laying and that
she has laid, but farther than this it
is not possible to go, at least so far as
any biological evidence now available
Regarding the functioning of the
'svary indicates. There is no real, de-
Unite, critical evidence of the exist
ance Of such thing as an egg type"

some one who will when it is already

| The telegram follows.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President elect
Princeton, New Jersey.
w. w. Scott, Superintendent of In
migration Department of Interior Do
minion of Canada, informs us one
hundred thirty thousand people came
to his country from the United States
last year and estimates more will go
the coming year. An estimate of their
wealth by Mr. Scott places same at
fifteen hundred ten dollars per capita.
With equal opportunities so far as
land is concerned on this side of the
line, the Canadian Interior Depart.
ment policies are widely credited with
depriving the United States of farm
ers with years of experience, accumu-
lated wealth and families of growing
boys and girls. In its work of trying
to keep these people at home to devel-
op our agricultural lands, this organ
ization seeks the assistance of our
own Interior Department and it is
thought in the west and northwest we
can look to our coming administra-
ton for cooperation and assistance.
We believe the Interior Department
will have more important relations
with the west during the next decade
than with any other part of the coun-
try and for this reason urge the ap-
pointment to this important position
of western man who understands
the problems and can more readily
put into practice policies which will
enable us to compete for desirable
settlers with any other country. We
believe western man who has serv.
ed western constituency in faith
full and earnest way, knows what is
necessary for agricultural develop.
ment and advancement and can best
understand how to handle public
lands, forest reserves, national parks
and Indian reservations.
Development of our agricultural re-
sources is the special work of this or.
ganization of commercial entities of

administration and urge you to con-

WOMEN ARE ASKED
TO AID LEGISLATION
Miss Janet Richards Pleads
With Members of federation
of Womens Clubs.

Active backing for four important
measures now before Congress was
asked of the women of the District by
Miss Janet Richards, in lecture be-
fore the District of Columbia Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs I'm the Public Lii
brary today. Miss Richards is chair
man of the legislative committee of the
federation.
The four measures she talked about
are the Kenyon red light bill, the La
Toilette seamen's bill. the Washington
alleys bill, and the narcotics bill. In
discussing the last measure, she criti-
cised Congress severely for what she
said is uncalled for delay in passing
the bill. She asked the members of the
federation to use all their influence TO
pei Congress to give the bill speedy
consideration. She blamed certain in
terests and those who profit by the sale
of the drugs, for inducing dilatory tao
tics in Congress.
Miss Richardson informed the fedora
tion that a little cooperative work
would insure the early passage of the al
leys bill, and that its causes are viewed
with much favor by Congressman I'm
general. She pointed out the benefits
of the La Toilette measure In protect
ing passengers In time of shipwreck. and
in eliminating that part of the mari
time laws which she said have made
the sailor "a slave"
She advocated support of the Kenyon
red light" bill on the ground of the
moral betterment that 1t promised to
bring about.

SEEK SALESMAN ON
KIDNAPPING CHARGE
Young Canadian Had Mourned
Death of Sister Resembling
Missing Child.

Accompanied by Harriet Grant. the
pretty seven-year-old daughter of Frank
+. Grant, of 10 G street northwest,
Thomas l.. Emmons, a piano salesman,
nineteen years old, the police believe to-
day to be speeding toward Toronto,
Ontario.
Emmons, who had been a boarder In
the Grant home since last June. and
WI had formed close friendship with
little Harriet because of her close re-
semblance to his own sister who died
within the last year, left the house with
the child about noon yesterday, osten-
sibly to go TO a Learby store for candy.
Neither has been seen since. Emmons,
according TO the Grants, had asked per-
mission TO take the child to Toronto
with him, but the request had been re-
fused.
The Grants are Canadians, and when
Emmons came to this witty last June
from Baltimore. he told them that he,
too, was a Canadian, and took room
at their home. According to his story,
his father, mother, brother and sister
all died within six months at their home
IN Toronto. He has been very depressed
for some time, and his only pleasure
seemed to be in doing favors for Harriet
Grant, who, he said was an image of
bis dead sister, of whom he was very
fond.
Emmons told the Grant family that
he had worked for q large piano con-
Germ in Baltimore before coming to
Washington, but since he had been in
this city, they said, he had done but
little work, spending most of the time
in his room.
A few hours after Emmons and the
child disappeared Mrs. Grant became
alarmed and notified the police of the
Sixth precinct. Detective Harry Evans
made an investigation, and later Cen
assigned to the case. Inquiry was made
at the Union Station, but the detectives
failed to learn whether Emmons and

ton or get any clue to their where
