"A Woman for Woman Knowing

After reading that wonderfully
Illuminating article on the recent
Suffrage Parade by Flo Field in
this mornings Times-Democrat, !
find myself yearning to talk with
an understanding spirit. A spirit
that know senses all kinds of
progress. This voicing of the real
spirit OF Suffrage, this holding
aside the curtain Votes for
Women and showing the real
heart of the movement, the heart
that throbs equal rights for equal
progress and benefit, is what / have

FINANCIAL SUICIDE
Is Committed by the Man Who Sells
His Farm at Present Prices.

A homeseeker who had obtained
an option on land in Lincoln coun-
ty, but continued his skirmish over
the country in search of some
thing just as good" for less morey,
wrote from Oregon to his agent not
to close the deal. saying, among
other things. in a letter quoted in
the Brookhaven Leader. 'sMississ-
ippi is the only State in the Union
where cheap land can be obtained. :"
The fact is that any man who
owns good land in Mississippi is
contemplating financial suicide who
puts it on the market at prevailing
prices. Its annual advance during
the next ten years will represent
more money than the gains from
ten good harvests. Aberdeen Ex-

1t might mean any number of
things with other women. but /

"Yes. Ruth, dear, it did mean
something very vital; you know
there is more than just Harrie and
l now; you see i have to know
things for Colin"
The whole heart Of the movement
was unfolded for me 10 those few
words; Knowing things for
Colin" And that, my neighbor, is
what these splendid women of ours
are doing; they are knowing
things" for the future generations.
And what woman who has within
her the mother spirit, is not know

are very few Of US who would ac-

CRABS Varied ITEMS SENATORS ARE AT OUSII BREAKERS CAUGHT
Williams Recommends Without Varda-
mans consent---Two Jobs Are
In the Balance.

Washington. D. G. Federal ap,
lpointments IN Mississippi are moi
liable to be made for some time
and they may not be made during
this session at all. because of the
disagreement between Senators
Vardaman and Williams over
division of patronage in the State
Senator's Vardaman and Williams
are of totally different Mississippi
political factions. and while both
ARE Democrats, are as wide apar;
as the poles in policies and support
ers.
This was not the case when
former Senator Percy occupied the
seat now held by Mr.. vardaman.
Then Messrs. Williams and Percy
pulled together in patronage mat
ters. though they had very little to
say concerning Federal patronage
in Mississippi during the Taft
regime. Now the case is different.
Messrs, Williams and Vardaman
have not agreed on division of the
Federal plums, and they probably
will not agree at this session, if at
all.
VARDAMAN HOLDING OUT.
just what the case of the mixup
is neither of the senator's will say.
Neither of them would discuss the
matter today in any way. 1t was
acknowledged by Mr.. Williams,
however, that there is disagree
ment. or rather no agreement has
been made yet concerning division
of the spoils.
Mr.. Vardaman preserves grim
silence. but it is known that he
intends to get what he believes is
due him in the Federal appoint
ments in the state or prevent Mr..
Williams from making any appoint
ment if no appointments are made
in the state for the next ten years.
President Wilson so far has re-
fused to take handNin the fight,
and it is reported he will not send
to the Senate any Mississippi NOM
nations except postmasters who
are recommended by the rperesen-
tatives until the two senators reach
an agreement.
QUARREL OVER TWO JOBS.
The principal contention at pres
|ent between the senator's is the rec
|ommendation of Mr.. Williams for
United States district attorney for
northern Mississippi and United
State marshal for the southern
District. Mr.. Williams has recon-
mended Ex-Representative w. S.
Hill. of Greenwood. for the attor-
neyhip, and George L. Donald, of
Magee, for the marshalship. These
recommendations are said to have
been made without Mr.. Varda-
mans consent, and there is where
the war over Mississippi patronage
started. Mr.. Vardaman has not
made any recommendation yet. He
is merely standing pat and holding
up the Williams recommendations.

MAROONS LOSE
 HARD ID MESA
Locals Put Up Good Fight in Spite of Wildness of Smiley-Core's Stunt May Result in a Protested Game

Smoke Smiley the difficult de- llVerer walked four, hit two, allowed elght hits and lost his first game in the S R. V. series to Mesa-yet with al struck out ten HighIanders. Goodman, pitching for the Mcsaites was well supported by his fast in and outfields and despite the fact that he allowed seven good hits, kept them so well scattered that only one Maroon legged ball player succeeded in toucb- ing home safely.
 The game, which was played on inc Mesa diamond will be the subject of a protest, according to communica- tons from Mesa last night. An in- Engagement of the interference rule bv Shortstop Core led to d ball up in the umplring, wherein, the Phoenix team allowed it hadn't got all it de- served. Core threw his glove in the air and stopped ResvoIoso's Texas Ieaguer in the fourth, and LangowsLlv placed the runner on third. The Mesa team insisted on this, for the urnD was at first going to put the runner out The Maroons wanted the score but LangoWsky refused to allow it

Just what the prizes are and how they are to be awarded will not be divulged until the page comes out Sunday. The form lies on the stone in The Republican composing room now, all ready to be slapped into the press with the big Sunday spe- cial issue. No one but the ad man and his client know what the pre- miums are, so the list must remain a secret until day after tomorrow. Mer- chant fans who know the game ar ranged prizes for good stunts. and merchant fans afflicted with a funny streak fixed up joshes for the unfor- tunate and erring bonehead. Need less to say, the page contains a flock of humor as well as seriousness, and will tickle the laugh nerve as well as that which leads to the pocketboOk
 The stunt will naturally require some mighty close work on the SCOT ing book. In order that all the play Ners may receive an even break, the official score of the game, composed and compounded by the sport editor of this paper, will be used. In this way, the prize awards will be distrib- uted strictly where they belong, and no kicks can result.
 Baseball specials of this sort are absolutely new in this neck of the woods. In fact, a close search of the American press fails to reveal any thing like what The Republican is going to pull off. These little spe- cials are what baseball folks like or the combined ingenuity of the ad men and the merchants is off mile. It is reliably predicted that the feature, which the leading baseball medium of Arizona inauguraes this morning. will be taken up and re- peated not only within the state, but elsewhere.

Good Work of Ritchie, Glow and Bagley Scores for Phoenix, Preventing 8 Shut-out-All the Latest BOneheadS

BagIey, Glow and Ritchie, three of the Phoenix stickers honored with places near the summit of the batting order saved the locals from a disas- trOus thirteen-tO-g -get-SOme shut out yesterday, when they worked Oviedo the Tempe pitcher, for three scores in the eighth. The first game of the new series was so loose that it Wab bIed. All last evening, following the disaster the Phoenix players searched and brought to light their alibis. When one could not hit, he had an excuse, and when he failed to field, again it was the fault Of the ele- ments The poor old sun and the poor old wind and the poor little pebble were so badly Overworked, that they are one and all strongly con tempIating resigning, and never show ing for or against Phoenix again.
 Errors to the number of ten as sisted the Tempe scores. Of the nine hits made off Busted Mitt Bill in the seven and one third spasms in which he officiated. but five could have been good, had the infield stuck together and played errorless ball. As it is, the defeat goes to Johns, and proper ly for the youngster allowed four hits in two-thirds of an inning, and was relieved just after walking Spikes with two out Busted Mitt Bill ar rived and famed Moeur retiring the side Bill pitched good ball, though he was hit at times. His work in the center of the diamond showed eX- perience.
 Oviedo on the other hand had it easy against the hitless Phoenicians. He was never in real hole, and the two hits that sent the three local scores across the pan were eXcusable. Leachy is showing mighty well lately.
 Phoenix started out with three up and then three down. By a nice double play, the locals fielded Tempe out in their half of the first. Ritchie taking Hudson's drive, catching Moeur at second and Hud at first.
 But in the second, the Tcmpeites landed on Johns. Mutt sifted out a homer Tweed doubled to the right field fence. Griffen couldn't see 'em. Oviedo doubled, scoring Tweed, and himself scored on Mullen's double. Harris flew out, Spikes walked and Barney went in and famed Kelly Moeur.
 Griffen uncorkcd a bran new play in the fourth, when he errOrod to first, went to second and third on subsequent plays and stole home prac- tically before Harris bunted. The play started with Griff leading about ten yards. Barney had hardly swung back his arm when Griffen was home, almost interfering with the little fcl- lows perfect bunt, a bunt that landed right back of the pitcher, and was scored as a hit. This same play was tried three times later, once by Null len and twice by Griffen. but the Phoenix infield punched agitatedly at each attempt and succeeded in soaring the runners back to third.
 In the seventh Harris preceded Moeur in when the latter put the

Positively the classiest bit of base ball advertising ever run in a local paper will appear Sunday morning in The Arizona Republican, the only newspaper in Arizona that features the national game as it should be featured. The ad department has been throwing bouquets at itself for a week, now, for working up the fea- ture, whereby not only the adver- tiser and the paper will benefit, but the players in the Salt River Valley league as well.
 Briefly, the stunt is this: The Re publican has gone to certain of the Phoenix merchants, who are accused, charged, tried and convicted of being fans, and has secured from them prizes valued at over $40 in American money, the trinkets and vaIuables to be awarded Sunday to players SCOT ing certain little honOrs in the game at the new park. These prizes are all advertised in The Republicans big baseball special to be out Sunday morning.
 The chance to hang up a few little tokens of appreciation for players in the local league was so popular that The Republican ad men could have sold twice or three times the space necessary to work the scheme. So the special will be put on with the same merchants and the same prizes for four Sundays, swelling the total prize list to the respectable sum of $160 for the month.
 Recognized as the leading baseball exponent of the state, The Republican began it's search for q stunt to help place the local game on the map. As soon as the murmur went forth fore telling the thirty-game schedule, the astute ad men got busy with their end of it. and the crowd of ad- vertisers is so large that there is need of using rubber type on the special page to let even a part of the eager ones in.
 The feature is sure to prove most popular. Like many other things The Republican starts. it will receive the sincere compliment of being initiated. But that will just help the game along, making it more popular and better respected
