VOTES FOR WOMEN.

At the recent November cleo
ton seven states of the Union
submitted the question of woman
suffrage to the voters. Montana
and Nevada adopted it while the
others defeated the proposition,
Ohio and M issou over
whelmingly voting it down. But
whether we like it or not Votes
for Woman" is the coming issue
and will finally win out in all the
states. Astute and far seeing
politicians like Bryan and Jo-
sephus Daniels and Champ Clark
have already crawled into the
'wimmin folks band wagon.
Eleven states have already de-
clared for it and it is conceded
that the Kentucky Legislature
at its next session will submit
the question to the voters. Ken
lucky women already have the
right to vote in matters pertain
ing to schools and school off
Gals, though it is said they pay
little attention to them. In our
opinion women are about like
men fellers. Some of them
should be allowed to vote and
some of them should be shot at
about fifteen times when they
attempt to do so. AS a gen.
eral rule those short-haired and
long-tongued shemales who want
to vote the worst ever are the
least qualified to do SO. And
bear in mind, fellow citizens and
fellow citizeDesses, when Votes
for Women becomes a verify the
cullud lady cook and the copper
hued "kept-lady" will be right
there with the crinoline on
lection day, impudently elbow
ing their way to the ballot box.

Tennessee made more than ten
million bushels more corn this
year than last year; over two
million bushels more wheat; over
four hundred thousand bushels
more oats, over three hundred
thousand bushels more potatoes,
and nearly three million bushels
more apples. The producer who
can grumble in the face of these
facts would complain if his moth
er-in-law were planning a trip to

RACING MEASURE
GIVEN ITS QU|ETUS
VOTE WAS SIS TO so ON A MOTION
TO INDEFINITELY POST
PONE IT.

Western Newspaper unicn News sA-ztce.
Baton RCuge.-Attended by excite
ment not witnessed here In years over
measure in the Legislature, the Lou
isiana House of Representatives Tues
day at 500 o'clock defeated the bill
that would have made horse racing in
Louisiana possible. The vote was 81
10 30 on a motion to indefinitely post
pone, and was equivalent to killing
the bill outright. Only five members
of the house were absent.
Those for and against the measure
had sent workers from all sections Of
the state to Baton Rouge, and this
force was augmented by the arrival
here Of special train bearing almost
200 men from New Orleans. These
were working for the bill.
At each session of the Legislature
since 1908, when horse race gambling
was abolished in Louisiana, there has
been talk of introducing a bill to regti-
late and restore the sport. Not until
this session was such a bill put for
ward, however. Four weeks ago the
Reinhardt bin was introduced. At
first it was not generally taken Sc
riously because even many of those
who favored it did not think it had a
chance. It's friends began to grow
in numbers, however, until the whole
state was aroused. The brief cam
paign for and against it was marked
by three mass-meetings in New Or,
leans, two for and one against it.:
Women's organizations took action,
and ministers preached about it.
Those against the bill made no at,
tempt to marshal their forces to win
in the preliminary votes, but waited
until Tuesday, when motion was
made TO advance it to third reading
and passage. This was amended to
indefinitely postpone and the amend.
ment carried.
The Reinhardt bill provided for the
pari-mutual system of betting and a
state commission to govern races.

COMPROMISE IN
MONROE TAX FIGHT
FACTIONS AGREE TO EXEMPTION
OF SCHOOL FROM THE oPER.
ALTON OF THE LAW.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton ROuge-The third battle OF
Monroe" ended in a compromise.
Leaders Of both political factions ac-
cepted a proposal submitted by Rep
resentatiVe Delos Johnson of Wash
ington, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Education, to amend the
Butler bin exempting the Monroe
school from the operation of the 3-mill
school tax. 1t was further agreed 10
amend the charter of the city of Mon
roe so as to take in certain territory
in the Third and Tenth wards of Qua.
chita parish.
The amendment to the Butler bill,
provides that all cities that maintain
their own schools expanding not less
than 3 mills, which operate such
schools by legislative authority, shall
be exempt from turning over to par
ish school boards a 3-mill school tax
so long as such cities maintain and
conduct schools free to the youths OF
the parish, under the supervision of
The State Board of Education, pro-
vided they shall take no part in the
election Of parish school boards and
shall not be subject to the jurisd!c-
ton thereof
The amendment was inserted into
the Butler bill by the Committee on
Education, and the measure was then
favorably reported to the house. The
acceptance Of the compromise by the
Monroe factions removes another bone
of contention from the Legislature.
