Women all over the United States
are taking an interest in the forty-sixth
annual national suffrage convention held
in Nashville, November 12-I7. 1t has
been said that there is little suffrage
sentiment in the South and that the
southern women is too delicate and
fragile persons, till there is suffrage
association in every southern State,
there are southern women such as Mrs
Desha Breckinridge, granddaughter of
henry Clay and president, of the
Kentucky Suffrage Association; Mrs.
Pattie Ruffner Jacobs. of Alabama;
Miss Kate Gordon and Miss Jean Cor
don of New York, and many others who
are leading women who are actually
parading through the streets of their
southern city during this convention

Commerce and the Business Mems As

and real old-fashioued barbecue at

make this convention session one of the
most interesting in suffrage history.
But never let it be dreamed from
this description of the joys of a suf-
frage convention that social events
will be allowed to obscure important
issues. Not for one minute will the
women who go as delegates from the
siXtyeassociations which form the con-
stituency of the Natiopal Association.
forget that at this convention the
whole plan for the years work must
be talked over means of financing cam

tails considered for the National As

WORK OF LOCAL COUNCIL
OF KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Influence Is Recognized Order Throughout the Country
Lnnehan Originated Public Memorial Mass-Organized
in 1901 With John w. O'Neill First Grand Knight

lected to go to Memphis and receive
the degrees in order To organize the
Birmingham council. On their return
tho organization was quickly effected
starting off with membership of
nearly 100 with John w. o'Nein as the
first grand knight. The late Father
o'Reilly was the first chaplain, hold
ing that position at the time of his
death The first meeting was held In
the Magnolia hall and after moving to
other parts Of the city from time to
time the council is at present located
in the very building in which the coun-
ell was organized.
AT the present time the membership
is close To 400 and consists of rep
resontative citizens from almost every
walk of life. The membership of the
Knights of Columbus is confined to the
members of the Catholic faith the
constitution of the order being based on
fraternal and moral lines. Religious
duties are required, as well as moral
ity sobrety and upright living. It
carries with 1t an insurance feature
1t is highly patriotic and includes
among its membership leaders in the
professional, business and industrial
world
Since the foundation of the order IL
has been the custom on a certain day
set apart each year by the supreme
council when solemn exercises were
held to do honor to the memory of the
departed members of the order These
exercises We're held in the lodge and
were largely confined to the member
ship of the order.
1t remained for Birmingham knight
to suggest a change and to NJ. e. Lin
nehan, the present state deputy and
past grand knight, the order is indebt- =
ed for the public ceremonies of today.
Mr.. Linnehan, realizing that the lodge
ceremonies were largely circumscribed,
conceived the idea of memorial mass at
the church. The idea took hold at
once, the sanction of the higher off
cials of the order came in vogue and
has been adopted by many of the coun-
ellis throughout the country.
The local council has on foot a
movement to build a knights of Co
lumbus home. They propose to erect a
building that will cost in tho neighbor-
hood of 5000 A committee composed
of j. J. Boggan, Arnold Masberg and
Charles E. Mason has charge OF the
building fund and have received many
donations. The committee is of the
opinion that by early fall definite steps
will be taken toward the erection of
the home.
The officers of the Birmingham coun-
ell are:
H. j. Kribs, grand knight; Rodman

There has been a considerable stir
in Odd Fellow circles during the past
month and increased interest has been

number has been secured that they all

Gaelic Signposts in Ireland

Ireland is the country for useless
signposts. During the last few years
there has been an outbreak of Gaelic
league activity I'm the country. Among
other manifestations. it has taken tho
form of erecting sgnposts with Gaelic
inscription. There is one such in
little village OF Omeath, in the county
Louth. 1t directs the traveller to Car
lingford and to Newry-but II directs
him I'm an unknown tongue. 1t is
not easy TO see what useful purpose
is served by such a slgnpost. For

You woud not applaud the financial
acumen of a man who should use a So

somebody else paid for the bait. the
fisherman would still be ahead of the
game.
The government has been fishing for
income tax "at the source" and one
banker says it has cost $25, ,000 to collect
$1,000. He means it has cost the banks
$4,000 to get $1,000 for the federal treas
ury. because the government has COM
PEELED the banks to furnish the bait.
