Voice Of the People
Recent Suffrage Elections.
Tho Editor ~ Tho Cofo CIV.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
Winona Evans Reeves In the col.
umn "Of Interest to Women" in Sun
days Gate City Of November IA, says
some timely words on woman suffrage
which the women voters Of this coun.
try would do we'll to heed If they
| would make good use of their newly
acquired power. Massachusetts,. New
York and Pennsylvania, three Of the
older states, surprised and startled all
right thinking people, and covered
themselves with ignomy. leaving a
stain upon their escutoheons which
will never be effaced, when they, at
the recent elections, smothered WON
ans suffrage with overwhelming ma
| jorities; but did these bright" male
anti-woman suffragists know that they
were granting greater rights to the
almost pauper emigrant from the
slums of Europe, than they we're will
| ing to accord their own wives. moth
ers and sisters? In other words, the
! aforesaid emigrant, sometimes Grim
inal, can come to this country and,
/ after a short residence here-having
| taken out his naturalization papers
can vote to enact laws to control the
real estate, or levy taxes on same, of
| Sdlu uldlc SotClo, NiAO, lhoIAOA Va BIO
ter. and they have no recourse what
ever, as they have no vote-a repeti-
| ton of the injustice of revolutionary
days, taxation without representa-
ton"
Surely woman native born and
bred should have greater right to
the franchise-especially if she owns
property-than has the foreigner, who
cares nothing for this country and
would combine to destroy it If he
could.
Strange that those eastern voters
would be SO blind; would stand so in
their own light. Woman will come
Unto her own" in every state in the
union before another decade, and
those eastern back numbers will be
so ashamed of their 1915 record as
voters that they will declare, II never
did it."
Nationwide woman suffrage will
cause moral uplifting wave that will
be felt from the Atlantic to the Paci-
flc, from the great lakes to the gulf.
Today, with no previous experience.
woman where allowed to vote in the
more advanced states, proves that
she votes more intelligently, more
periodically, than does the average
male voter. She votes from principle,
/ from a high motive, for the best quail
fed candidate for the office: and not
because she thinks Smith, Jones or
Brown are good fellows, or because
they are good customers, or that she
may expect favors from them. Women
will elevate the franchise. give It
purity and dignity and help protect
the home of which she is queen, and
on which the foundation of this gov
eminent depends.
So, brothers. remember this. that
when you vote against woman suf-
frage, you are voting that your wife,
mother or sister shall not have any
right to assist in making laws to con
troll their property, but. that foreign
citizen shall. In other words you are
in favor Of taxation without represen-
tation" Think on these thines

HUNGER.

HUNGER.
The Starving Men they walk the dusk,
With hunger in their eyes.
To them a Lighted House is Ike
A lamp Of Paradise.
1t is the Window in the dusk
That marks the drifter's coast;
1t is the thought of love and light
That mocks the drifter most.
Now l have been a Starving Man
And walked the winter dusk;
And / have known how life. may be
A Heaven and a Husk.
The Painting Hands they pulled my
sleeve.
And babe me curse the Light
But / had seen a Rich Mans face
That looked into the night.
A hungry face, a brother face,
That stared into the gloom,
And starved for life and starved for
love
Within lighted room!

WHERE ARE THE FREIGHT cARs7

WHERE ARE THE FREIGHT CARS?
The shortages Of freight cars re-
ported from various parts Of the coun-
try are largely caused by shortage of
vessel capacity as a result of the
European war, which has caused con-
gestion of cars at the Atlantic and
gulf ports and has tied up thousands
of freight cars for which shippers are
clamoring elsewhere. says the Railway
Age Gazette in its current issue. The
Gazette urges as a remedy a demur-
rage or storage charge on export
freight to prevent shippers from con-
tinuing to send shipments to the con-
gested ports until there appears some
chance Of their being loaded into
boats, and suggests that "the inter
state commerce commission, by i'm
mediately calling representatives Of
the carriers and Of the leading boards
of trade together at Washington. and
keeping them there until they agreed
upon something, could apply the rem
edy in time to do some good this
year."
part: eff business conditions during
the past two years had not been such
that the roads were, more worried
about the large actual number of sur
iplus cars than about possible short
ages Of equipment they might have
had more money to buy more new
icars before they were needed. AS 1t
has happened, the revival of business
has succeeded the long period of de-
lpression SO suddenly that the large
Isurpluses have melted away almost
lover night, and shortages are appear
ling in many parts of the country
shortages of box cars in central
freight association territory and the
northwest and of coal cars in trunk
line and central freight association
territory.
THE monthly bulletin of the com.
mittee on relations between railroads
Iof the American railway association
for November 1 showed shortage OF
t2S,62S cars and a surplus Of 52,S67,
the smallest net surplus since the
fall of 1913, the surplus having been
reduced by 35,474 in October and by
I1O3,2 PAS in September. For 80 per cent
of the time since 1907 the American
railway association has reported large
isurpluses, but now the shippers are
filling the newspapers with complaints
because they cannot get cars.

old times, but some of the conditions

St Louis, March 9.-What was con- sidered in railway circles as the first official step toward the re-organiza- ton of the Gould system of trans continual railroads was taken here to- day when two important cAanges were maG5 in the directorate of the Mis- scuri 'aclficlron Mountain system. flcse changes were the election of E F.

HOW THIN PEOPLE
 CAN PUT ON FLESH
A New Discovery.

Thin men and women-that big. hearty, filling dinner you ate last night What became of all the fat producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through al open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
 Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol 'hoi 5NS SOAA NtoNb oNd-lAeilll .biOOu with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles-gives the blood the car rying power to deliver every ounce Of fat making material in your food to every part of the body. Sargol, too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimlated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a sci entific combination of six of the best flesh producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive. and all druggists in Hot Springs and vicinity sell them subject to an absolute guarantee of weight in- crease UT money back.
