half OF human activities 1t will be
necessary to give the vote to women.
"Of course. men pay some attention
to the humanities, and women pay
some attention to business, but each
sex has a great sphere exclusively
it's own, and both spheres must be
considered with proportionate inter-
est on the part Of the government to
get. the best results. Clearly this can
not be accomplished without enfran-
chising women!
81 do not think that the enfran-
cbisement of woman would take her
out of her sphere. but it would simply
project her sphere into full public
not cause woman to usurp mans
business. but it would insure justice
to woman whenever she engages in
business in competition with man, 1t
would make the sphere Of woman more
interesting to man and the sphere OF
man more interesting to woman. A
man would not only naturally have
more cosideration for the rights of
hts wife, but he would be more in
terested in his Yife's activities. A wife
would not lose respect for her hus-
bands work, but would take a greater
interest in 1t.

HOBSoN REPAYS KSSERS OF
OLD BY BECOMING SUFFRAGET
By Robert ?. Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 3o.-Capt. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, hero of the
Spanish war, whose exploit in sinking
the Merrimae at the mouth of Santi-
ago harbor, thus bottling up Cervera's
feet, made him the recipient of the
kisses Of the fair sex from one end
Of the country to the other (much,
IL must be confessed, to that gallant
officers annoyance and dismay), has
reciprocated
The captain has become an ardent
suffraget. In a recent speech on the
floor of the house (the captain is now
representative from Alabama) Capt.
Hoeson mentioned his conversion to
equal suffrage.
Il have come to believe" he said,
that woman suffrage viii solve many
of the problems in national life"
The new champion of the fair sex
in its struggle, for political equality
was not, however. won to his present
frame of mind by the memories of
puted with the laurel for place on
his fervid and youthful brow. Indeed
no. Nor did any apostle of votes-for-
women pin a badge on his coat and
lead him captive to the suffrage ranks.
The captain, who resigned from the
navy shortly after the war to enter
politics, has become q very serious
minded person with a real aim in
public life. With single hearted pur-
pose, he is working to make the
United States dry within the living
generation. He is Demon RUNS arch
enemy. And 1t was in his investiga-
ton of the liquor question and in the
solitude Of his own study that he be-
came convinced that woman should
have the ballot.
After his recent confession of faith
in congress Representative Hobson
said in an interview:
The average standard OF the char
acter OF a nations electorate deter
mines the efficiency of It's political
institutions. In standard OF character
woman is degrees ahead of man. Only
Ave per cent of the inmates of penal
institutions are women: while over so
per cent of church members are wom-
en-. Therefore the absorption of women
would substantially raise the character
Of this nations electorate.
From my study Of national prob
lens L have come more and more to
realize that nearly all the laws of
states and the nation relate to bust
ness, and that. very little provision
has been for the humanities. Prop
erty has monopolized the attention OF
legislators almost to the exclusion of
problems of living.
This one sided condition Is due in
Eerently to the fact that men make
the laws, which of necessity reflect
the activities in which their makers
are engaged-they cover the business
part of life. To equalize this condi-
ton. to make proper provision on the
part of the government for the other

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. S1.-The Ten
nessee Central Railroad is ESQ miles in
length, running from HopkinsviIle, KY,
on the west to Hartman. Tenn, on
the east, Nashville being the main city
on its line. The road was promoted
by the late Jere Baxter, of this city,
the city of Nashville subscribing a
million dollars to the roads stock to
aid in the completion Of the line west
Of Nashville.
In 1905 the line from here to Hop

Central and the eastern division by the
Southern Railway. The joint lease was
given up July l, 1908, since which the
road has been Independently operated
Purchase of the line by some trunk

London, Dec. 31.-Blackburn trade
unionists, supported by several manu-
facturers, have entered a protest
against the inducements being offered
to the girls of Lancashire to desert
their homes and emigrate to Canada.
immigration agents have been going
through the northern country pointing
out to the girls what excellent oppor-
tunities there are for girls in the Do
n1inion, where the men 6utnumber the
women, and that after working for a
short time they are almost certain to
make good marriages.
Unfortunately for the agents, how
ever, the expansion of the cotton in
dustry has been such that In all the
towns serious shortage of labor is
threatened, and the suggestion has
been seriously made that a deputation
should be sent to other countries with
the view of persuading Lancashire
factory migrants to return to the old
country and their old trade.
When a proposal was made at a
meeting of the Guardians Of Black
burn to the effect that the board
should approve of the emigra ton of
suitable girls from the union cottage
homes to Canada, practically the
whole board protested. The proposer
urged that Britishers in Canada want

where men sent for an indefinite term
of detention after penal servitude have
privileges that are not available to the
men in the neighboring penal servitude

There is a canteen from which they
can obtain certain Injuries; they are
permitted to smoke and write to their
friends, and there is a common hall
for meals and recreation. A certain
period OF good behavior, however, is
required before the men are eligible
for these privileges. Recently some
