BRYAN'S AIDE, IN
QUITTING, RAPS
PRESIDENT
Assistant Secretary of State
Wilson Resigns Because the
White House Ignored Him.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Assist-
ant Secretary of State Huntington Will
son resigned to-day. The resignation
was accepted Immediately by President
Wilson. The Chinese policy as outlined
ny President Wilson in his recent state
ment is given as the reason for the
resignation.
Mr. Wilson also objected to the ac-
ton of President Wilson in giving his
statement on the Chinese question to
the newspapers without taking the act
ing secretary into his confidence. His
letter to the president read in part:
when l consented. at the request Of
Mr. Bryan and in Difference to what l
understood to be your wishes, to con-
tinue in office for these few weeks long
er, ! believe l was justified in assuming
that there would be no radical depar-
ture from the practice of this and 9TH
er countries, whereby the experience Of
government officials is made use of in
the study of great questions of foreign
policy
Calls Action IiI-Advised.
u mad no reason to suppose that the
officials on duty in the department OF
state would learn first from the news
papers of a declaration of policy which.
l think. showed on its face the made
quacy of the consideration given to the
facts and the theories involved in the
failure clearly to apprehend the motives
leading to and the purposes of the pol
icy superseded.
Il had no reason to suppose that the
fate of negotiations which so long had
had the studious attention of the for
eign offices of six great powers would be
abruptly determined with such quite
unnecessary haste and in so unusual
manner. These methods against which
l respectfully protest, ! feel vitiate my
understanding with MIR. Bryan and
completely relieve me of any further
obligation in the premises.
Defends Dollar Diplomacy.
81 have always thought that in the
work of advancing the national inter
ests and promoting the welfare of 9th
er nations the financial force of the
United States could be marshaled in
some manner to present a safely united
front abroad. where it would be like
the apex of a triangle, but would have
at its base broad equality of Opportu-
nifty. both for citizens desiring to in
vest and for tho bankers desiring to
engage i'm these. difficult and relatively
risky ventures. 1t seems. however. that
the conclusions reached are expressed
upon other grounds

Give Your Neighbor an Equal

If you have been buying goods of mail order house you doubt less think it has been to your ad- vantage to do so. You have be- lieved that you were saving mon- ey or were getting better goods. Let us see if this is true.
 Have you tried to do business with your local merchant--your neighbOr--On the terms that the mail order house exacts No? Then suppose you try it.
 Just go into the store, plank down your cash and tell what you want. You might even tell the merchant that you will wait a few days for the goods. See if your local merchant can't serve you better and as cheaply as the mail order house.
 The local merchant usually ex- tends credit for two, four or six months. The mail order house demands cash in advance. It uses your money as working cap- ital. 1t loses nothing in inter- est, nothing in bad debts or on slow paying customers. Try this cash in advance plan on the To-. cal merchant--the man you know --and see if he can't make it to your advantage to spend your money where you make it.

Vanished Women,

l cant find the old time dame
 (though throughout the land I've raked) who enjoyed a noble fame based upon the bread she baked; based upon. the cakes and pies she compounded passing well; cakes that charmed the gloating eyes, pies that bound us with a spell She has vanished, dame sublime, hidden somewhere in the mist; and her daughters spend their time playing silly games of whist. Where are all those women now, who in olden times would meet to discuss new kinds of chow, pickles sour and pickles sweet: who put up a stock of jam to relieve the winters grief, who could deftIy cure ham or salt down side of beef? They are gone, and never more shall we see their like, Wist; and their daughters hold the floor with their dizzy games of whist. here are now the good old danes who kept house in proper style, working at their quilting frames, knitting stockings by the mile; who, absorbed in household chores, thought their time was thrown away if they left their di- verS doors for a quarter of day! Gallivanting was a crime that was drowned upon and hissed; but their daughters spend their time playing dippy games of whist. WALT MASON.

WOMEN IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The Kansas Equal Suffrage associa-
ton has been in session in Lawrence.
At the first days session Kansas
governor addressed the ladies pres
ent and said among other things, Il
hope to see many women in the n xt
legislature OF the state"
We 10 not know but that Governor
Hodges is right, We do NOT know
but that it will be right for every
state in the union to adopt equal suf-
frage laws and to elect women to
the legislatures. In most staies those
bodies would be rendered better by
having female members. In this state
it could not possibly be worse,
There is an undercurrent OF gal
lantry which is Unborn in every man,
Then, too, when a woman, or a NUM-
ber of women are intimately asso-
ciated with a body Of men every man
present will put his best foot for
ward and will work hard in the in
terest of his employers in order to
gain the good will and the smiles Of
the ladies who are employed on the
same job. With women in the Ok
lahoma legislature last winter the
taxpayers of this state would not have
been called upon to support and pay
for filibustering They wauld have
not been called upon to dig down in
their pockets and pay the freight only
on good and legitimate legislation.
They would not now be scratching
their heads and wearing patched
trousers and dirty shirts while econ
omizing upon their daily necessities
in order that the expenses of bunch
of freak bills introduced by freak
politicians should be paid. The wom-
en- of the honorable body" would
have held them in check.
This being the case, might 1t not
he a wise thing for the voters of the
state to think seriously of an amend
merit to the constitution which will
let the women vote?" And after
they have "let them vote" to elect
them as members OF the Oklahoma
legislature, as Governor Hodges states
he hopes to see them elected mem
bers OF the Kansas legislature? Sure
ly things could be no worse should
this be done. With a fair represen-
