Full OF BRAINS

If human soul weighs three
quarters of an ounce, how much is
mans brain worth? Irving Ram
sey, a chauffeur for one of the
wealthiest families in the city Of
New York, has placed a value Of

that teaspoonful of gray matter

law was passed in Arkansas giving property. The passage of this law" said Judge Trieber, twas due to the efforts of Judge H. c. Caldwell
 Judge Trieber said that women can- not obtain all the rights to which they are justly entitled until the bal lot is given her. He said he believes that women should be allowed the privilege of voting for the reason, if no other, that she has the right to do so.
 "It is said that if women are allow ed to vote it would mean that a hus- band would have two votes, as he would be able to control the vote of his wife," said Judge Trieber. "I don't know how that would be except in my own case, in which the control would be on the other side.''
 The benefits of granting the fran chise to the women of Illinois was re- ferred to by Judge Trieber. He said that since the women in that state had been given the right to vote great change for the better had re- suited.
 "Since the women have been voting in Illinois more than 2,00O saloons in the state have been put out of busi ness," he said. "In addition to this the Chicago women have raised the standard of those conducting elections in that city. Formerly the polling places in Chicago were held either at a saloon, in livery stable or in a barber shop. Now they are held in school houses, in Christian associa- tion halls and other like places. The women have made polling places re- spectable. If no more could be ac- complished this would be sufficient to give women the right to vote.'
 Scores Penal System.
 Judge Trieber said that the panel system of the United States and the laws providing for the punishment of convicted persons are blot upon the nations civilization and this system has not been changed within the past 1,5OO years, he declared. Under the present laws, when a person is inn prisoned he is made worse criminal. There have been some reforms in this direction, all due to the efforts of women, and most of these reforms have been brought about in states where women have been given the voting privilege" he said.
 Judge Trieber said that but for the mistakes of the women in Great Brit ain they would have been given the right of a restricted franchise, but. he said, the militants have greatly injured their cause by the methods %hov hod hoon nurSuinQ
 Judge Trieber said he believes the time is near at hand when the right to vote would be given to the women of Arkansas.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 INTEREST GROWS Fine Meeting of Local Po-
 litical Equality League Yesterday. WOMEN SHOULD VOTE Address of Judge Jacob Trieber, Ad- yocating Woman Suffrage, Is Read Before Local Society.
WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

The Political Equality league held an interesting meeting yesterday af- ternoon at the Chamber of Commerce assembly hall. There was a some what larger attendance than at the last meeting, showing that interest is growing in this organization which now numbers about seventy-five mem- bers.
 The rapidity with which matters of interest were discussed and disposed of, also showed that the league is becoming more business-like in the conduct of it's meetings and promises more effective accomplishment in the future.
 After roll call, Mrs. J. wv. Adams read by request the address made to the Little Rock league by Judge Jacob Trieber at it's last meeting, and at the close of the reading a motion was made and carried that rising vote of thanks be rendered Judge Trieber by the Pine Bluff league as an appreciation of his championship of the woman's right to vote.
 Mrs. R. w. Fletcher read some ap- propriate verses on the suffrage, fol: lowing which was the discussion of an open meeting to be held the second Wednesday in May, at which time an entertaining program will be given and the public invited. This is in celebration of the national suffrage day, the date of which is May 2, but that date being during the athletic meet here, the later date was decided upon.
 Representatives from both the daily papers offered suffrage column for May ?, however, to carry suffrage news for that day.
 Mrs. L. K. Land, the president, read letter from the secretary of the Demonstration committee of the Na- tional league telling how the day would be celebrated in various states, and showing that even Canada and Honolulu had fallen in line.
 Miss Houston made a short talk on the child labor law, and while it was decided that at present the league cannot endorse any special cause, it's slogan being simply "Votes for Wo- men," the members individually pledged themselves to aid in every way possible to create additional in- terest in the child labor law and its enforcement in this state.
 A motion was made and carried that members be asked to contribute the small amount of 10 cents each towards current epenses.
 pr. Joseph Jasin suggested volun- tary contributions also from mem- bers, towards suffrage literature in the public library at the Chamber of Commerce, this contribution to be either money or books.
 Before the meeting adjourned, Mrs. T. Y. Murphy extended an invitation to the league from the w. c. T. U. to the w. c. T. U. convention which is to be held at the Presbyterian church April p and 23.
