ONLY TELLING HALF OF IT

= Will TownSley, by who conSiS-
. tency has never been seriously
considered, no more so than by
Earl AkerS, state treasurer, who
does not know the meaning of
he word, recently, with much
glee reproduced the following, Ia
ken from the Stafford Republi-
can, AkerS' paper:
90 "Our good friend, Billie FEEDER,
us a conSiStent( p soul if one cares
little for what he says. Out at
Dodge City at the reunion one day
last week Billie told much about
what the good women of Kansas
would accomplish by their votes
this fall providing, of course, that
they vote them in the right direc-
ton. He had much to say toward
extolling the fact they were to
take part in the next election and
to all intentS and purposes appear
ed to be very glad of it. As a
member of the 1911 House, and a
member from Barton county, Bill
lie voted against the submission of
: the woman'S suffrage movement
to a vote of the people at the last
election, however"
Telling half of a story, even
though that half be the truth, and
.Smothering the rest of the story,
IS worse than to tell a deliberate
lie. FEEDER never denied the fact
that he voted against the woman's
suffrage amendment when the
same was pending in the House,
but a reference to the House Jour-
nal of 1911, page 3S9, shows the
following explanation of his vote
made by FEEDER, tO-wlt:-
"Mr. Speaker: 1t is the duty of
a representative to voice the wish
: eS OF bis constituents. Therefore,
in my capacity as the representa-
tive of Barton county, l vote NO
w. P. Feder."
That FEEDER was right ir his be.
lief that the people of his county
were against woman suffrage, is
borne out by the vote on thai
question in this county, the vote
being 1891 for the amendment
and 2292 against it.
Just as well tell all of the story
TOwnSley, as it will come out or
:. you anyway.

of suffrage has been extended to
women. They need not be.
Throughout history whenever an
extension has been made to the
rights of people, men or women,
it has been done amidst a storm
of evil prophecies. When the
right of suffrage was extended to
men who had no property there
were prophecies of disastrous re-
suits; when women were admitted
| TO, the schools and colleges cho-
rus of evil prophecies pronounced
it the beginning o. TIE end.
None of their prophecies have
come true. On the contrary, we
may challenge them to point to an
instance where the people, men
or women, have abused a liberty.

And now, my friends. permit
me to express The hope that you
will identify yourselves with those
who have in the past been guided
by the democratic spirit. That spi-

who sympathize with the average

HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness is purely matter of
nourishmeht, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
tor forty years has proven the real need
tor taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals nothing
compares with it. It's pure, medicinal
n0urishment, free from alcohol Or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
as nerves aud Anngs to avert tuberculosis.
