WHY SO MANY MEN ARE
AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE

In the June Womans Home Com
panion Temple Bailey writes wom-
an suffrage story entitled IAN Army
with Banners" in which one of her
characters makes the following COM
ment;
~ think that deep down in his
heart a man likes to believe that
he's got a woman in the nest he has
made for her, safe and warm, and
he likes TO keep her there-just for
himself. But times change, and
perhaps the world needs women.
And II IL does, we men have got to
stop being selfish.

The number OF baptisms report

which is an increase OF 4s9 over the
number received last year, and of
S67 over the largest number receiv-

members received into the church
was l,1S1, which is only 253 more

FORTUNE FROM WASTE
COLLECTED EACH YEAR
A Revenue of $500, 100000 Got.
ten From Things Once
Thrown Away.

l. At the first annual banquet of the
National Association of Waste Ma
terial Dealers, held in New York
| City this week, il was brought out
that by collecting and utilizing
waste products the members of the
association transact an annual bust
ness of $500, 900.
The utilization of cottonseed oil
and of cotton seed, until very recent
years mere waste product of the
cotton crop, it was pointed out, is
now valued in the United States
alone at S5O,O0O,00O year. Curtis
Guild, eX-Ambassadpr to Russia,
noted that we are exporting sisal
strings to Europe to be turned into
toothbrushes: that We are using the
WORKOUT painters brush, soaked
with white lead, by cleansing and
using the worn bristles to provide
inexpensive and durable scrubbing
brushes, and exporting American
cotton stockings to Europe, where
they are unraveled and used as a
cheap packing in the manufacture
of graphophones and electrical ma
chinery, while the patched and
darned European stockings, not hav-
ing any other use, are exported from
Europe to this country for their
only possible use as paper stock.
The exports and imports of waste
material are not yet thoroughly re-
ported by the department, and even
the commencement of their appear
ance in the official publications OF
the United States Government dates
back but a few years. For the cal
endar year 1913 We exported cotton
rags to the value of over $500, 900,
paper stock other than cotton rags
to the value of over 100000, wool
en- rags to the value of 81 100000,
scrap iron to the value of S1,2OO.-
900. old and reclaimed rubber to the
value of S1,600.000, and scrap brass
to the value of over S2,000.000.
The figures of the imports of
waste materials from foreign coun-
tries are even more striking. In the
year 1913 We imported scrap iron
10 the value of 100000, old copper
to the value of $1,00O,00O. silk
waste to the value of $3,000,O 600,
old rubber to the value of more than
S3.000.000. cotton rags to the value
of 100000. and other paper stock
which was neither cotton rags nor
wood pulp to the value of nearly
$4,000, 900 Bradstreet's.

Democratic State offceholders are
preparing to make a great mistake
by switching around and running
for other Offices, and thus attempt
ing too perpetuate themselves in
power for another term.
The chief danger in this plan of
swapping Offices may not come in
the primaries. but in the general
election following. We got by with
1t fairly well in 1903. when the
Democratic party was in the full
swing of success, but the same trick
tried over again in 1907 resulted in
a disastrous failure and the turning
over of the State to the Republicans
for four years.
The cohesiveness of the Republic
an party is proverbial. Let the Re-
publican and Progressive parties get
together, and Kentucky is politi-
cally debatable State. This would
be especially true II the idea should
permeate the State that ring at
Frankfort was trying to control the
affairs of the party.
This warning is thrown out thus
early and before the alleged slate
has been made up, in order that the
press and people of the State can
take it up for discussion. We be-
lieve we know the temper of the
people well enough to know that
they will resent any effort at ring
rule or gang domination. The off,
cials would do well to step down and
out at the close of their present
terms and let the boys in the
trenches have chance.

EXECUTION Of PRIVATE
PARKS A BRUTAL DEED
Richard Harding Davis Tells a
Graphic Story-Died Like

CBy Richard Harding Davis. }

Vera Cruz. May 14.-Five days

unsound mind, rode a horse belong

rious explanations were given of his
disappearance. was at that time
on my way to Mexico City and did
not know the man was missing, but
the story told me in Mexico City
makes me believe | can explain why
Parks has not returned. What fol-
lows was told me by man who got
il from the last man who saw Parks
alive. For their own safety | can
not give the names of my inform
ants. but they are known to me, and
can vouch for their responsibility.
At Tembladora, three miles out
side our lines, Parks was seen by
five Mexican regulars. They were
in uniform and mounted. From be-
hind. one of the Mexicans struck
Parks at the base of the spine with
the butt of his rife. Parks fell
from his horse and was bound and
then~either driven or forced to walk
to Tejeria, where a major, twenty
soldiers and several foreigners were
waiting for a train to Mexico City.
One of these is my informant. The
Major placed Parks, still bound, on
the floor of a hut and set a guard at
the door. He told my informant
that he intended shooting Parks at
sunrise. My informant says he
tried to dissuade the Major. which
angered him, and he threatened my
informant. which he gives as the
reason why he did not talk with
Parks, but in passing the door of
the hut he told Parks he was to die.
The second time my informant pass
ed the door Parks quickly said:
IL am Samuel Parks"
The Tia rd time he passed Parks
was able to tell the Colonel of the
Twenty-eighth Infantry. At day
break the Major beckoned Parks out
and with a squad led him to the
woods near the station. My inform
ant says that Parks smiled and
looked meaningly at him, as though
to remind him to deliver the mes
sage. He says the bearing of Parks
was so brave that he could not bear

ly and that the MeXicans. to conceal
his body, were pouring Kerosene on

ridden by Parks was sent by an or

PRAISEWORTH EFFORT
INAUGURATED BY BOY

Referring to the work of the
boys corn clubs in Kentucky and the
results obtained, the Paducah Sun
says:
Fourteen boy members of corn
clubs in Kentucky. in the season of
1913 raised over 75 bushels of corn
to the acre. OF this number the low
est raised a fraction over the requir-
ed IS and the highest attained the
unusual mark of 1919 bushels to
the acre. No more striking proof
could be asked for the scientific
teaching of agriculture. These boys
are typical of the new era of Ken
lucky farm life. M
Farmers of the older generation
will do well to observe these youths.
Age may learn while it has strength
+, to labor on, and the true road to
success is the obligation Of every
power at hand for the best possible
results. The Kentucky corn clubs
have done great work-vwe ma
better say, begun it, for the en- !

TCUSHION GAME
IBy Latest MALL

NEW YORK-Alfredo De Orc de-
feated G. W. Moore, challenger for the
three-cushion billiard championship, so
to IS recently and won the match
which gives him permanent posses
sion Of the Lambert trophy. The last
nights play brought the total score
up to 80 for De Orc and 92 for Moore.
The latter partially abandoned his pol
icy of playing safe in the match, and
his play was much better than in the
previous blocks.
During the first Il innings the open
ing UP OF Moore's play was the more
noticeable, and both did brilliant work.
For a while Moore held the led, but
the champion soon -evened the score
and went ahead. -
In the eighteenth. nineteenth and
twentieth innings De Orc showed
some superb play. He ran three each
in the first two of these innings, and
made six in the twentieth. This run
of fine play gave him a commanding
lead, which Moore was never able to
reduce. 49,
De- Orc executed a wonderful shot
in the fifty-sixth inning, when he took
FIVE cushions with his cue ball before
he hit either of the object balls, and
then completed the carrom.; The balls
were lined up near the middle of the
table. about feot apart. De Orc shot
between them to the side cushion. and
the cue ball went all the way around
the table, taking one cushion twice,
before making the carrom
. De Oro's run of was his best run
in the match, except for his record
breaking run off Is points two nights
before. Moore also made a run Of &
the last night, lettering his previous
best high run or 5. He also made
run Of 4. His score Of 30 was his best
in any of the blocks of play.
1t was learned after the match that
John Daley, the Chicago three-cushion
player, has challenged De Orc for a
match. Daley is a former champion.
He won the championship from De
Orc two wars ago. Daley has been
playing latsE in San Francisco He
