II is to be greatly regretted
that two women representing
the Women's National Con-
{, greSsional Union have come
to Kansas to bring the suf-
: frage question into politics.,
They announce thai they have
come to fight the Democratic
party in the coming election,
because they wish to force
: President Wilson to come out
in favor Of national suffrage.
No man since Lincoln has
: borne such burdens for his
people as Mr.. Wilson has. car
ried. This grave, quiet man,
facing national and. interna-
tional questions in the midst
of a world-war, the most aw-
full in the history of ciyiliza-
tion, was lately bereft Of his =
: wife.
Mrs. Wilson was a woman
of wonderful charm, keen
sense of sympathy, sweet and
refreshing as rain after the
heat of a summers day. Her
presence and help in the life
of her husband must have
been as the shadow of a rock
in a weary land. TO cheer and
sustain him. to strengthen
him for The work God has
called him to do. But the in
finite Father of us all called
her away, when her husband,
the ruler of our nation, most
needed her.
That two militant women
should seize upon this hour
of agony of our President TO
hurt and wound him.. 10 Grip
pie him in his work political
: ly, will not meet with much
response among Kansas wo-
: men who have never learned
: to be cruel and partisan. -
Make no mistake; TO defeat
Democratic congressman and
a Democratic nominee for the
U. S. Senate, is TO strike at
Wilson whose presence in the
= White House is our safeguard
that the great questions facing
the United States for settle
ment, will be settled in the in
tereSt of all the people-and
: for their peace and happiness.
Every Democrat on the con-
greSSional ticket and the SEN
atorial candidate is pledged
: to work for national suffrage.
: Likewise, every candidate on
: the state ticket and the party
platform is clear as crystal on
the subject.
These women, Mrs. Latimer
= and Miss Trox, are leaving the
impression that they are sent
out by the National Suffrage
Association to which we are
all loyal. But il is unbelieva-
BILE that women like Anna
Shaw and Carrie Chapman
: Gait are sending these women
into a safe state when there
are fields white for the har-
vest, whose women have no
political privileges.

WHAT is WOMAN7

What is woman, that she
should be considered ae being
fit for the political duties OF
man? Why. all she was plac-
ed on earth for was to become
the mother of children, and to
take care of the home and adj
minister to the wants of man..
This question and statement
was overheard on the streets
the other day, and in the light
of political evolution is an i'm
portant one. Yes, she was
placed on earth to become the
mother of children, and no
grander calling was ever given
to the human race than that OF
mother" 1t goes far and
away back of our existence,
and covers a multitude of mans
shortcomings. 1t provides for
the love, sympathy and care
that the child needs, and which
in a great many instances
means the development of a
big mans brain and intel
lect. 1t provides for the care
and keeping together of the
home, for without her there is,
and can be no home in it's tru-
est sense. It was never intend
ed that che should be a sert and
slave, but on the contrary she
should be allowed to take her
place alongside of man as his
helpmate. Looking over the
pages of history we find thous-
ands of illustrious women,
whose achievements shine as
bri Shtly as do those of her con-
temporary-man.
Without her the world would
be at a standstill, and would be
a very undesirable place to live
in. Without her, man would
become a renegade, and would
find himself largely in the posi-

ton of ship at sea without
a rudder or helmsman. With
out her, even our political ia
brio would fall to pieces, not
withstanding the fact that some
men argue and feel that "wo-
man in politics is a mistit."
Generally speaking, she has
not been given the franchise;
but where is the commonwealth
that has not received an impet-
us toward good government
from woman? The movement
on the part of a body of women
in our far Eastern states against
the granting of suffrage to
woman is backed by the very
individuals who march solid]y
every year and cast their ballot
on the school question in those
same states; and this move
ment is being siezed by the
men who are opposed to the
granting of the suffrage as be-
ing the proper attitude for wo-
men to take. They say it is al
right for them to vote on school
matters. but that is as far as
far as they are capable of 60
ing. What is there in politics
that is more important than
education? If the women are
capable of exercising that
franchise we think they are
capable of going the whole dis
lance with men? Don't you?
Yes, she is here to carry out
out the grand mission of mo
ther,' and that mission car
ries with it the responsibility
of watchfulness over her pro-
gently from the cradle to the
grave, and no true man will
deny this; to do so is to deny
the queenly womanly virtues
of the best friend man ever
had, and the grandest and best
work of all creation-woman.

Two Waterloo8,

1t is a very curious fact that a good
many people do not know that two
battles were fought at Waterloo. Both
of these were fought against the
French. the first under the command
Of the Duke Of Marlborough on Aug.
II, 17O5. who on this date actually oc.
:upied the same ground as the Duke OF
Wellington did a little more than a
century later. June II. 1915. the only
difference being that the former vas
marching on Brussels and the latter
was marching from Brussels. In the
first battle the French were defending
Brussels. They marched out to meet
Marlborough. but owing to the slack,
hess On the part Of Schlangenburg. the
Dutch general. who was fighting with
him. it was not a success, Marlborough
only taking a few of the French troops
as prisoners. The following one. fought
against Napoleon by Wellington. proved
to be one Of the greatest victories ever
recorded in the annals of England.

STOPPING THE EARTH.

Il Would Generate Heat Enough to
Turn Our Globe to vapor
The stopping Of Il ~proiectile always
results in the generation Of heat. The
velocity ard weight Of. %projectile he
ing known. the amount Of heat deve'.
oped by it's stoppage can be calculated.
In the case Of large bodies moving
rapidly the result of the calculation Is
something astounding.
For example. the earth weighs 6.OOO.
OOO.O00,OOO tons and travels in its or
bit at the rate Of over eighteen miles
a second. Should it strike a large,
strong enough to stop it's motion the
heat developed by the shock would Ge
sufficient not merely to fuse the earth
but also to reduce a large portion Of il

tie amount of heat generated by a col
lision so colossal would equal that OBJ
tanned from the burning Of fourteen
globes Of coal each equal to the eartf
in size.
And should the earth after its stop
page fall into the sum-. as it certainly
would do. the amount Of heat tina
would be developed by its impact OF
the sun would he equal to that gener
ated by the combustion Of 5000 earths
Of solid carbon.

Miners Of West Virginia Do Bigger

Do you know that the coal miners Of

big canal has been advertised ia a hun

word has been said about the even
That's why you don't know that In the

and all Of the e%xcavating was being
done on the surface the coal miners Of
West Virginia were getting out of the
bowels of the earth 542. ~ .446 cubic
yards. Think Of it!
When the engineers Of the Panama
,anal in 1903 began their work they
made a careful survey and found that
approximately 1915. 2 600 cubic yards
OF excavation were necessary. This
was regarded as a stupendous under
taking and was commonly spoken Of
as the largest excavation job the world
has ever seen. Laborers were import

But the 95.323.OO cubic yards, the
original estimate, were not all that the
Panama canal laborers were to dig
after they had started. On account of
the slides in Culebra cut another 1OO.-
100000 cubic yards we're to be added
to their work. This made 295, 1923. 600

But the fact remains that the men
who work underground in the mines of
West Virginia have done a vastly big
