SUFFRAGE A STATE AT.
FAIR.

Whether they like it or no, the
suffragists and their friends should
recognize that at last suffrage is q
State affair. Suppose Congress at
length shall submit constitutional
amendment: what's the gain? Three
fourths of the States must ratify it
before it will have any effect in q
single State. Can the three-fourths
be secured?
1t seems certain that, until q con-
siderable number more Of States
have been carried for suffrage on
the State basis, there will be lit
tie chance to secure the ratifcations
necessary. The South is VIGOROUSLY
opposed to woman suffrage. Per-
haps Texas will come to the ad-
vanced view before MANY years; but
east of the Mississippi and south Of
the Ohio and Potomac there is poor
chance for a single State to be car
ried within the next generation for
women's votes.
Just one thing will mollify the
South's opposition. Let the Northern
and Western States line up for suf-
frage, and let the "solid South"
which is the backbone Of Democracy,
stand persistently as the backbone of
opposition to suffrage-and there
will be produced a political situation
so menacing to the Democratic
party, nationally. that it will at
length be forced to give in. It will
find the women of the suffrage
States standing against Democracy,
and it will have to yield.
Therefore, it seems altogether
sound advice to the. suffragists to go
ahead fighting State by State, and
not attempting for the present to
concentrate their efforts on the ma
tional amendment to the Constitu-
ton

THE NAVY'S AXMEN.

The annual performance of the
navy plucking board has resulted in
the order for retirement of fifteen
officers of important rank. The rec
ords of these men are such as to
warrant the feeling, which this year
is stronger even than in the past
that luck, rather than deserts, deter
mines what officers shall be pluck
ed and what shall survive.
Among the men who are pitched
out of the active list, and compelled
to retire just at the time when they
are in the prime of life and profess
sional usefulness, are several who
would have been listed as among the
most able and distinguished men in
the navy. Moreover, there are some
who have done special services of a
kind that afforded them opportunity
to earn antagonism within the naval
ranks that might have been respon-
sible for determinations to their dis
advantage. 1t is high time that the
persistent reports Of favoritism in
administering the "plucking board"
regulations be ended.
On the very day that this an
nouncement is made of the inhuman,
unfair, and unreasonable outcome of
an utterly impossible disciplinary
system, there comes in the foreign
news little synopsis of the German
naval year book opinion of the
United States navy. The observa-
lions are worthy of consideration,
and then more consideration:

Apyrtrophers OF Chicago held an

\ a woman told how, through abolish

had lost fifty pounds in three months
She was followed by another wo-

This unfortunate person, she said
probably would have turned into
nothing but holes had she not been
placed on an "apyrtropher diet" But
shortly after this-presto! the chasms

as you would step out of an overccat

He went to several hospitals, but

might, the doctors couldn't keep his

armed with pocketbook and could
not produce the remainder Of the fee.
Mr.. Hitchcock put in a nickel and
turned over the license.
In asking Justice Cox to perform

clean breast of his financial embar-

GRANTS EASTERN RAILROADS
PER CENT INCREASE
Commerce Commission Excerpts Btu
minOus Coal and Coke and Lake and
Rail Traffic From Advance.

Increases in freight rates, approx
mating 5 per cent. on all the railroads
between the Atlantic seaboard and the
Mississippi, north Of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers, were granted Friday by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In divided opinion, excepting upon
certain heavy commodities which COM
prise large bulk of the traffic.
The increase will further apply to
the railroads west of Buffalo and
Pittsburgh, which were granted par
tial advances in the decision of last
August, and which denied them alto
gether to the roads east OF these
points. 1t is estimated the advanced
rates will increase the annual income
OF the roads about $30,000,000.
The Commission made its decision
upon the showing of the railroads
that, i'm addition to conditions from
now are confronted with an emer-
gency because of the war in Europe.
The Commission issued this order.
1T Is ordered that respondents
herein be, and they are hereby author
lied to publish and file by not less
than 10 days notice to the Interstate
general public in the manner pre-
scribed in section six of the act to
regulate commerce, schedules OF rates
which do not exceed the limits or
trangress the limitations stated and
prescribed in said report:
ut is further ordered that the per
mission hereby granted does not
waive any of the requirements of the
Commissions published rules relative
to the construction and filing Of tariff
publications, nor any of the provis-
ions of the act to regulate commerce,
as amended, except as to the notice to
be given"
The carriers are permitted to make
the applied-for advances in rates ex-
cept the rail-lake-and-rail, lake and
rail and rail and lake traffic; rates
on bituminous coal and coke; rates
on anthracite coal and iron ore, and
rates that are held by unexpired or
ders of the Commission
After further consideration the
Commission permits advances to be
made also on cement, starch, brick,
tile, clay and plaster. On these COM
modities no advances were permitted
by the decision Of August /.
Joint rates between official classifi-
cation territory and territory south of
the Potomac and Ohio and east Of the
Mississippi may be increased not to
exceed per cent.
Interstate rates to and from New
England also may be increased not to
exceed per cent.
While present existing differentials
among various Atlantic ports are pre-
served, the rates between any two OF
them also may be increased per
cent

s. Per Cent OF This Banks DepOsitOrs
Are Farmers.

One Of the circular letters we sent
out to the banks brought this interest
ing reply from s. J. Anderson Cashier
or the Bank of Centerton, Arkansas:
This Is one bank that tries to &C
commodate the farmer, both large
and small. True, we haven't as many
farmer customers a. we want, but
out Of a total Of about $50 depositors
95 per cent are bona-fide farmers. We
take issue with your DR. Poe in hi
statement that there il much pront to
be made in loaning the one-horse and
two-horse farmer money No loan Is
too small for u to make to worthy
man; and we charge nothing but legal
interest, and we have made close to II
per cent net on our capital stock for
several years. That II enough profit
for any fair-minded man."
There are two mighty interesting
statements i'm this letter-one THAI the
bank II ready to lend to small farm
ers, and the other is that more than
200 of its $50 depositors are bona
fide farmers. But when we come 70
ask the explanation Of this unusual
condition we find it in the fact that
Centerton is not in the Cotton Belt
AT all, but the farmers there live al
home and board at the same place
and have their money crops as sur
plus after their crops for self sup
bort are made. There Il not bale

first thing Cashier Anderson fires al
u. And he winds up with this part

CAN SHIP LIQUOR INTO WEST VA
Judge Rose Hands Down Important
lT'TFl- opinion.

In an important opinion handed
down late Friday afternoon, Judge
Rose in the United States District
Court, Baltimore, decided that, under
the Yost law of West Virginia rail-
road companies a. common carriers
are bound to receive for shipment
and delivery into West Virginia such
LIQUORS as are intended solely for the
personal use of the consignee, even
though the orders for them had been
solicited by letters mailed at points
outside the state.
The decision was made in the case
OF the James Clark Distilling Com
pany, of Cumberland, Md, against
the Western Maryland Railway Com
pany, which, under an injunction
from one Of the West Virginia Cir
cult Courts had refused to transport
any more Intoxicating liquors into the
territory under the jurisdiction OF the
court, on the ground that the pre-
cautions with which legal shipment
had to be surrounded would necessi-
tate an expense that would make
the acceptance and transportation of
such liquors improbable. The same
decision applies To the case brought
In the United States District Court
for Maryland by the same plaintiff
