ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER .
Hits the Laddonia Subscriber
on Woman Suffrage

Springfield, Mo-, Nov. 81, 1914.
Editor Message I'VE were all
amazed, not to say indignant, on
reading Subscriber s" commu-
nication Of November 18th. The
Good Book tells us "There is
nothing new under the sum-" but
this is surely a new argument
against equal suffrage. For the
first time we are assured that we
should be refused the ballot from
moral standpoint; that the
women of today have so far fall
en- from the heights Of morality
and purity that they are unfit to
have a voice in the affairs of the
nation, or in her exact words if
allowed the ballot "She does not
know to what extent sin in all
its forms would be carried. y
Are we to understand that our
fathers and brothers having
never fallen from the heights of
purity, etc., should retain the
right to guide the ship of state
without our helpY
In our long acquaintance with
the good ladies of Laddonia and
vicinity we had always consider
ed them fully equal to their hus-
bands and brothers, both in in
telligence and moral rectitude,
and we are 10th to believe that
Subscriber" includes them in
her sweeping assertions.
Are we to infer that she has
been unfortunate in her choice
of friends and has developed a
grudge against all womankind z
If so, we will. lay down the
hatchet. \

MRS. TRATCHELL's DEATH
Sketch of Her Life-Her Church
Work-The Funeral

Sarah Stumpf Tratchel was
born in Lisbon, Ohio, March Z,
1889, and departed this life Nov.
16, 1914, at the age of 70 years
8 months and 8 days. She was
married at Marietta, Ohio, Sept.
6, 1866, to Walter Tratchel, who
preceded her to the grave 4
wears ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Tratch-
ell came to Missouri to reside the
same year of their marriage. TO
this union nine children were
born, seven of whom survive, as
follows: Andrew, William, Robt.,
Mrs. Ed. Northcutt, Mrs. Albert
Davis, all of this vicinity, and
Mrs. E. l.. Woodson, of East st.
Louis, and Mrs. Edgar Lysle OF
Headley, Texas, All with their
families, except Mrs. Edgar
Lysle, were present at the funer-
al.
Grandma Tratchel had been in
declining health for the past
year. She bore her affliction with
the fortitude and patience OF a
true Christian, her suffering
seeming only to intensity and
strengthen her faith in her Mas
ter. She had lived in the Benton
City community 4S years. She
numbered her friends by her ac-
quaintances. She found her
greatest joy in ministering to the
sick, the afflicted and the needy.
Her whole life was characterized
by kind and noble deeds. She
will be sadly missed in the com
munity in all the activities of
the church where she was faith
fnl, tireless worker; in the Bible
school, where, despite her ad-
vanced age, she was a regular at
tendant so long as she was able
to go, after which she became a
member of the Home Depart
ment. Indeed, a good woman has
gone to her reward.
The funeral was held at the
Christian church Wednesday a.
M, at IL o'clock, conducted by
Ed. W. A. Cameron. The floral
offerings were numerous and
beautiful, a number being sent
from st. Louis and East ST.
Louis. The pail bearers were
Jno. Stumpf, Finley johnson, DR.
Frank Harrison, Afford Hicks
DR.. W. H. Douglass and Fred
Kellerhalls. The community ex-
tends coincidence to the be
reaved family.

Mother Thought on Mormonism

This is a subject that should
not be lightly passed by. The
Mormons have a dark history.
They are under the domination
of designing and superstitious
men, who know and practice
nothing of the broad, liberal and
loving brotherhood of the relig-
ion of Jesus Christ. Where they
have an undisputed sway OF
power, the wheels of enlightened
progress are blocked, supersti
tion and vice flourish, and hu
manity is degraded into
ignorance, the worship of men
and forms of religion, rather
than God. The State Department
gives the fact that in nine states
in this Union the Mormon power
grows daily more prominent, anG
four of those States are states
where women today have power
to east the ballot.
The suffragists say that they
want to help uplift, but the
desire to help and uplift is no,
L
concentrated in the ranks of the
suffrage party. What of the
assertion that with the ballo,
women would abolish vice, the
liquor traffic, the social evilY II
the contention is correct we have
a right to look for proof in the
states where suffrage has beer
long tried. Think of 43 years il
Wyoming, 19 years in Colorado
and the lesser years in other
states. So far as social purity i.
concerned could there be any
greater menace to the country
than MormonismY Why don 7
they exercise some sort of {
protest against this damnablt
condition? Because there is 6
blot on this country where {
church overrides the Nation. Ii
is easy to see why thosC
religionists are heart and soul il
favor of Woman Suffrage. Now
you can see in the states where
the experiment is being tried, we
have exhibitions of these party
policies in their most virulent
form. These two question,
involve governmental principles
for an entire country! But we
are not willing that such breed
of nuisance should grow.
