JUDGE ALEX CARTER

It appears that the "wet" ele-
ment of Mexico is determined if
possible on the defeat of Judge
Carter for reelection.
Yes. that's it, and what do you
dry" fellows out over the coun-
ty think about itY
It's just another case Of the
saloon element messing IFS Shiny
hand in politics.
The vets have put up the is
sue, and now, regardless of poll
tics, every fair-minded Democrat
and independent voter, instead
of scratching Carter, should
come to him, and his majority
should be increased instead of
decreased.
They can't beat Carter; they
can't overcome his ! 800 majority
over his opponent of two years
ago. What's the use of talking
about itf
But the saloon man likes to
stand around and boast. Do you
wish to follow his lead9

Carter does not suit the wet in.

Mexico Women for Citizenship

By Carrie b. Sproul: Economl-
cally, women are concerned in
public affairs as well as socially
and morally. Economic condi-
tons can be adjusted only by the
ballot. How can such conditions
be secured when one-half of the
people are not permitted to voter
There are thousands of women
working early and late that they
may be classed as rational citi-
zens, and to be no longer consid-
cred one, with imbeciles and
criminals. If men have their
much boosted chivalry they will
gladly vote to free their women
kind of this stigma of considering
women as unfit to judge for them
selves of what they must eat, and
drink, and wear, and read, and
enjoy, altho taxed for every dol
lar they own.
Some men say that suffrage for
women is surely coming. If ask
ed directly to vote for it some
will tell you, "Well, if l do not
this time, / will next" We cry
out, "Do not wait until we are
dead. Vote this fall, and save
precious time, for if we fail to
carry the thirteenth amendment,
the splendid organization of Mis-
souri, women will renew their eff
forts and again open their cam,
paign for enfranchisement."
Let the women west of the Mis-.
sissippi River vote and the West
will be strong enough to name
and elect a president of the
United States, since more states
in the West have Equal Suffrage
than in the East.
Speaker Champ Clark, w. j
Bryan, Senator Stone and Judge
Wallace, of Independence, Mo.
who was candidate against Sen
ator Stone this year, are all mer
of brains, renown and broad cul
ture. They advocate Equal Suf
frage openly and with no apology
for their belief.
| We append the names of SOC
Mexico women to this article who
are candidates for citizenship.
(These women are all well
known, but we have not the space
for their names in this issue.-Ed

MEXICO SCHOOLS
Rev. d. A. Sanford Visits All The
Teachers and Rooms

Having recently visited the
schools in Mexico, and having
there observed much that is
worthy of commendation, / call
attention to what / have seen.
To the superintendent of the
public schools and to those work
ing in harmony with his plans
much credit is due for the good
order that generally prevails in
the different departments under
him.
In the High School building it
was a special pleasure to note the
self-government in the room set
apart for study. Here the stu
dents choose some of their own
number as officers; they adopt
certain rules, they choose certain
others, as court, before whom
the offenders are tried.
1t pleases us to hear the Ger
man teacher ask questions in the
classroom in German. In the
room for Misunderstanding and in
the departments of art, of sewing
and cooking, one could see that
something more than book-learn-
ing is taught in the High School.
Again, it was pleasure to see
the work of the music teacher in
the other school buildings. With
joy and pleasure the little ones
seemed to join in the music in
which she led them. And much
also might be said of the good
and faithful work in room after
room that was visited. In the
visits made, the colored school
was not left out. Here five
teachers of that race are employ
ed. They are doing good work
in teaching the colored children.
Good order and courtesy seem to
prevail there also.
In Sproul Academy, oppor-
tunity is offered for education in
special lines to those who for
their own reasons do not see fit
to attend the public schools.
Much more individual attention
to pupils can be given than where
classes are large as in many
schools.
This same advantage was seen
at the Missouri Military
Academy. Well qualified teach
ers, as they seem to be, give the
cadets good opportunities there
to acquire good education. Mill
tary drill under an officer of the
United States army is not merely
for the development of physical
health and vigor, but it also gives
a moral discipline and training
for future life.
A visit to Hardin College only
confirmed the good opinion gen
orally held concerning that insti-
tuition of higher learning. When
one has learned to know intimate
ly, not merely the intellectual
qualifications, but the high char
acter of the teachers there, from
the president down,-when one
finds that the effort has been to
get good matertaI,' in the
teaching force, then one can real
ize what Hardin College is worth
to the daughters sent there. But
Hardin College does not stop
with ordinary college studies,
with art and music; definite Bible
instruction is given. Religious
