SWEET SPRINGS, MISSOURI
In Memoriam.

In sad and loving memory of my
dear friend, Mr.. Claud Stevenson, who
passed ava yone year ago, January 1,
1913:
The golden gates were open wide,
A gentle voice said, Come,
Sweet angel on the other side"
He is gone but not forgotten;
Never shall his memory fade;
For memory is the only friend l call
my own.
Sweet thoughts will ever linger
Around the tomb where he is laid.
A voice of love is stilled;
A place is vacant in his home
That eve can be filled.
How we miss your kind and loving
words and care
Is more than we can tell.
We will meet again some day.

9 large, light and airy rooms, large attic suitable for pool room or
gymnasium, full cemented basement, combination furnace, lot 50x150,
east front, street and alley paved, large barn suitable for garage.
Several prominent Negroes have bought in this block, so the
owner has decided to sell and in order to make a quick sale has
reduced the price from $4,000 to $4,000, $500 down and 500 monthly.
An ordinary family could live in four of the rooms and the other five
could be rented for enough to make the payments and interest.
Surely opportunity is knocking at your door. Will you continue
to pay rent or will you buyY If this is too large, we have several
others.

STRENGTH is SPLIT

London, February 6.-Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst, daughter of the militant suffra-

from the Women's Political and Social
union, the militant organization, here to-
day.
The East End LONDON fedora uon, which
hitherto has been branch cf the parent
organization, will henceforth be entirely
tnderendent.
The rift among the militant suffra-
gettes is said to be due to Miss Sylvia
Pankhursts S instances of ultra reyolu-
tionary aspirations, which the leaders
of the Women's Social and Political
union are beginning to believe Is dam
aging their propaganda.
Reports of dissentlons in the inner cir
cles of the militant organization involving
the Pankhurst triumvirate have been in
circulation for sometime. According TO
reports, Chrstabel Pankhurst is anxious
to end her long exile in Paris and return
to London to take control of the organi-
cation. for it is doubtful II her mother
Mrs Emmeline Panxhurst who is in
Switzerland, will he well enough for
months to resume command.
But Christabel. reports have it, desires
to come back under conditions that will
not neeessitate frequent terms of impris-
onment linoer the "cat and mouse act
There. it is said, she wants militancy
dropped In this stand she has the sup
port of many older members of the or
ganization. who believe that while mill
fancy accomplished much, future militant
tactics will hurt the cause.
Sylvia Panlkhurst, on the other hand
is not prepared to abandon militancy un-
til she has fully tested the fighting ca
pacty of her peoples army" which she
organized in the East End of London
and with which sine is credited as be-
lleving she can start a revolution which
will force the government to enfranchise
women.
