The views of various clever wom- en of Nashville briefly stated embodied their reasons for upholding the doctrine of woman's rights. Elizabeth Fry Page was one of the number, and her express sions indicate the character of the opin- ions repeated She wrote:
 Equal pay for equal work is my war cry in this battle for equal suffrage I am tired of seeing women do the work of big strapping, able bodied men, and then receive a delicate, frail, emaciated feminine wage for it. Women have proven themselves capable of holding many positions that were formerly SUD- posed to be sacred to the stronger sex: they have won the respect and confidence of employers and fellow workmen. if is conceded that they have the advantage of sobriety, faithfulness and attention to detail: in fact. the only observable inequality is on the pay roll It is my humble opinion that political power would set this matter right Therefore. write me as one who favors equal suf- fraee; but also as one who is unalter- ably opposed to any sort of militant methods for the obtaining of the same"

TELEPHONE DIRECTORS MEET
Partial Divident Is Declared on Pre-
ferred Stock-No Raise in Rates
at the Present Time.

The Crawford County Telephone
company held meeting on Monday
night, at which practically all of the
directors were present. A partial div
idend was declared upon preferred
stock, there not being enough money
to pay any dividends upon the common
stock. 1t has been some two or three
years since the company has paid a
dividend on the common stock and
with the increased but necessary Lex
penses of conducting the business the
dividends on preferred stock are in
arrears.
The company decided to set apart
each month an amount to 60 into a
sinking fund to cover expense of op-
GRAFTON and improvement. The ques-
ton of making provisions for the cree
ton of new building to accommodate
the business was discussed, as we'll
as making provisions for the purchase
of a new switchboard. 1t will be
impossible for the company to con-
tinue much longer with the switch
board now in use.
The management of the company is
of the opinion that the rates charged
for service is so low that no dividends
can possibly be paid upon the common
stock until readjustments of rates are
had, and probably an increase in the
rates, but assurances are given that
the rates will not be increased unless
it proves necessary to keep up the
improvements and extend the plant.

Few Denison people are aware of the
fact that approximately $55,000,O00
worth of gold bullion passed through
Denison in an Illinois Central train
made up of ten steel baggage cars last
Saturday, bound from cities of the
west to Chicago and New York City.
The shipment of this gold bullion was
consigned as silk" from the orient
and the matter was kept secret. 1t
is reported the transportation charges
were $4,000 for the eleven cars.
We understand that five special gov.
eminent men were in charge of the
train. The end doors of the baggage
cars were opened and the guards had
access to all of the cars. Division
officials of the Illinois Central also
travelled with the train. The seals of
the cars were inspected at each stop.

No doubt many of these so called
silk" trains have passed through our
city in the past, but on account OF the
great secrecy shown on the part OF
the railway officials the matter has
never been generally known to the
public. Doubtless had the people Of
Denison known of this world of wealth
passing through our little city, many
would have been at the station to
watch the train load of gold bullion
pass through.
