WORD FOR THE
LINE FOR THE
WOMAN GROWN
BY MISS CARRIE SPRoUL

An argument offered us against
women's voting that the wife would
only cast her vote as her husband
commanded is answered somewhat In
the Sethhess case of recnet date
in Chicago. C. o. Sethness was q
n ember OF the Board OF Education
who voted against Ella Flagg
Young, as Superintendent o
Schools. and he was for this reasor
dismissed from the Board.
Mayor Harrison. knowing thai
Mrs. sethnesa is a partisan OF Mrs
Young and that in a purely political
way she dlsagrees with her hus-
band. sent her name to the Clty
Council to fill the place made vacant
BY her husband. That ought to be
good politics since a man Of May.
or Harrison's political acumen made
the accommodation.
Another argument Is that the very
act Of going to the polls will be a
harm to her womanly dignity and
purity, because there she will be
with mere man. It requires but a
few minutes to cast a vote. There
are few places where women ap-
pear that men do not allow them
space and every courtesy, and the
men who vote for the Amendment to
the constitution of Missouri to en-
franchise women will be Just as our
teous at the polls as elsewhere.
We read of women black
smiths. butchers, mail drivers, tele-
graphers, captains Of boats, aero-
nauts, detectives and so on ad infinit-
UNI. Wherever there is a man
holding office requiring an assist
ant there is found a woman doing the
work, because she accepts fewer DOL
lars than a man will for the same
work.
II women are acceptable in al.
these places where they are in.
daily contact with man, how can
one consistently say that going to
the polls viii contaminate her?
Another thing is. women so Of.
ten say, Il have not thought on
the subject Of suffrage for women"
We respectfully urge all our women
to think on the question. 1t is one
that is Of personal interest to wo.
men, all the women now. henceforth
and forever.
Some eminent opinions on suf.
would like to see the ballot in
hands Of every woman. Mark

Mr.. Paul was a member of the

Besides his wife, Mr.. Paul left

Another One Gone.
Lack Of Fire Plugs Causes Another
Big Loss to Baxter.

Baxter Springs has lost another
business house, this time the two
story building and stock of the
Main Hardware Co. The fire
was discovered a little before IL
o'clock Tuesday night, and the
alarm was sounded. The little
chemicals, with the volunteers,
quickly responded, but it was i'm
possible to save the building or
its contents, so attention was
turned to the adjoining proper
ties. Within an hour the Main
building had fallen in, and it was
seen that the fire would not get
the adjoining property. The
heavy walls of the Main building
saved the others.
Stocks in the adjoining build
ings were partially taken out,
and the streets were filled with
them, but at daybreak the goods
had been replaced, and business
was going on as if nothing had
happened. The building and the
stock of the Main Hardware Co.
were insured for an amount which
precludes the possibility of a very
heavy loss.
During the fire lot of ammu.
uition and powder which was in
the store exploded, and caused
the fire fighters to scatter. There
we're three or four explosions,
and the cartridges exploding
sounded like a small battle in
Mexico.
The heavy walls of the Main
building were all that kept Bax-
ter Springs from losing a whole
block of business property.
Baxter Springs undoubtedly
has the best bunch of volunteer
fire fighters in the land.
Isn't it about time to have some
modern fire fighting apparatus?
The fire was discovered by
Mrs. Jessie Whitley, who lived
upstairs in the building adjoining
the Main building on the south.
The smoke in her rooms woke
her rooms woke her up. She
rushed to a telephone and told
