REFUSES TO

When we observe a man slow TO
xpres himself as favoring Equal
Suffrage may he not be mere timid
than opposed to it?
The launching Of new enterprises
always brings forth objections, dis
approval and criticisms Does that
retard the progress? Not at all.
But after repeated trials, proving the
perfect mechanism and a~daptability
for the end to be accomplished, only
a foolish mind refuses to accept the
enterprise or idea as suitable
Just so with new conditions al
ways. Women are human beings, as
well as men. From ancestors Of
deeds noble and great, they have in
herited lofty ideals and intentions.
The same blood pulses through the
veins of the sister and brother. The
desire to stand before the world
equal in law and law-making with
her brother, is the natural desire OF
every girl and woman who feels she
is a responsible unit in the world.
Why do men hesitate in voting for
amending u State Constitution
Do they fear the woman's power?
She will use her power to uplift the
world, and no man will say the world
is not in need of a woman's help. In
church work he allows most Of the
help to come from the woman. Sure
ly they car be trusted to show as
much judgment in political as in
spiritual realms.
Why should one act as if ashamed
of the belief that women deserve then
rights? When a woman votes does
any one believe that she is going tc
NeSlcCb HSI Sdidun anu pa9t&y y ANi
household preserving and canning
her sewing and the care for the
many in the home? How long win il
take to vote? All day? Not unless
she acquires the habit of staying
with her husband to see how the re.
turns will be. And if she does, fol-
once in the year, would it be a
crime?
If any women desire their hus
bands to vote for both, that is M
reason that thousands of othel
women all over the world do no
wish to stand up and say to all thu
world, "Here am l, an Independent
soul with convictions of my own
and | wish to vote for myself"

FALL FESTIVITIES FOR
-U~2 ..-.

. 49, 1kA2AF
MEXICO congratulates w. w.
Pollock on his movement TO give
Mexico a big roundup this fall which
will be in the nature of a community
meeting Of the farmers and citizens.
Mr.. Pollock's idea is a splendid one
and together with Farmer Rusk the
enterprise could be made one of the
most successful ever undertaken in
Audrain. There will be a display Of
farm products and live stock and
the farmers and citizens of Mexico
will work together in harmony to
make this a splendid entertainment.
There should be a much better feel
ing between the farmers and those
who live in town as they depend upon
each other. The prosperity Of Mex
leo depends on the prosperity Of Au-
drain County.
There will be no politics and no ex-
plotting Of any man or any mans
business in connection with the pro-
posed roundup. II will be a get
together proposition for the good Of
the entire County, pure and simple
and without any Interior motive.

Erred Matter. Cane Girardeau

FRED NAETER, Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, president of the Missouri Press
Association agrees with the Mexico
Ledger in its contention that the
time is past for sensible people in
any line of business to fight and cut
each others threats. Men in the
same line Of business should cooper
ate and work together to improve
their own business and to benefit the
public generally. Mr.. Naeter in his
opening address said the convention
was to be a good-fellowship meeting
Of the editors, its object being to
bring them closer together. The
days when rival editors fought each
other in the up building Of the com
stroy each others business had
passed, he said. The editors were
now trying 10 cooperate with each
other in theu pbuilding Of the com
munities in which they were pub.

THE MERCHANTS OF MOBERLY

HAVING A CENTRAL ILbAN-OF
Not very long ago the Federated
Clubs Of Mexico took up the matter
Of correcting certain abuses in the
handling of food stuffs. The mer-
chants were well pleased and cooper
ated with our ladies in cleaning up
their stores generally and all were
delighted with the results. Referring
10 a like movement in Moberly, No,
the st. Louis Republic editorially
says:
Early this summer the Society Of
Civics and Health of Moberly, Mo-,
e~ndeavored to have corrected certain
abuses in the handling Of food stuffs
in that city. Failing TO secure this,
F. H. Fricke, State Food and Drug
Commissioner, was asked to visit Mo
berly and make an inspection.
Deputies from the Commissioners
Office inspected restaurants, meat
shops, grocery stores and storerooms.
OF the eleven samples of milk taken
from as many delivery wagons in
Moberly, not one sample proved to be
free from contamination. Moberly's
meat supply was not protected from
flies and many highly inssnitary re-
frigerators were found.
"Moberly's sellers Of food have
been given until September 80 to
"clean up" II the re-inspeetion on
that date fails 10 show improvement,
there will be prosecutions. The men
who have conformed will be given
full credit at that time. The rein
spectioh and the announcement Of
Bothered conditions ought 10 be done
in such a way as to give the mer-
chants who do cleanup" the great
est possible amount Of advertising
They win have earned it and all Mo.
berry should know about it.
"The spirit Of the Moberly Society
Of Civics and Health is TO be COM
mended. If Commissioner Fricke il
correct in his view Of general condi-
tons over the State, other Missouri
cities have need Of just such societies
for the move 10 better conditions in
Moberly came from within and not
from without.
THE Republic believes that the
Moberly Society Of Civies and Health
and Commissioner Fricke are doing a
thing that needed doing. On Sep
TENDER 80 this paper will see that the
bettered condition of Moberly is Civ
en- due publicity. We propose to do
for the Moberly food dealer who has
claened up exactly what we did for
the st. Louis food dealer who did
likewise last winter.
Zone difficulty about reform move
ments is that they 80 often castigate
the evildoer, but neglect to recognize
the welldoing and the progressive
Real reform must be %appreciative as
well as critical. We ahall describe
conditions in Moberly exactly as we
find them, and we doubt not that the
story win make good reading for the
patriotic citizens of that town, for
ST. Louis has travelled this road al
ready"

THE DEMOCRATS of the eatire
country seem to be delighted with
the Democratic victory in Maine and
the New York World editorially says:
The battle in Maine appears to
have been a great strategic victory.
The army of the Crown Prince Of the
Progressives, which occupied the ex-
IRENE left Of the line. was forced
back upon the Roosevelt fortihea-
tons, and the first, second, third,
fourth and fifth armies Of the old
Nelson Dingley standpatters, pivot
ing upon Portland in an attempt to
effect a turning movement, were cut
in two and put to rout- In spite Of
the censorship, enough is known to
make it clear that the road TO a
Woodrow Wilson majority in the
Sixty-fourth Congress is open, with
nothing likely to interfere except a
few standpat aeroplanes and an &C
casionsl scouting party Of Bull
Moose uhlans.

General Sherman. it is somewhat Of
a relief to learn that this IS a mis-
quotation. too. What he said, as is
pointed out in a letter in the New

and yen can not refine it."
The sentence appears in a reply of
Sherman's 10 the protest Of the non
combstant population Of Atlanta
against his order to them to leave
the city. This order aroused great
indignation throughout the South. II
