Z WALLACE, Feb. 10.--I want to
reply through the columns Of the Tel.
egram to the person who wrote tho
article against woman suffrage.
want to say that he certainly is
too young to have formed any opinion
on such a vitality important matter
as this. When you say you don't be-
lieve in women voting you simply
mean to say you have heard some
people discussing woman suffrage.
and during the discussion one of them
trotted On the remark that all empty
headed idiots use as the supreme ar.
gument against women having the
ballot and that is: II a woman went to
the polls to vote she would have to
neglect her home, and II she and
other women neglected their homes
the whole race would go to the
elimination bow vows You hear
this stupid chatter and parrot like re-
echoed 1t; allowed II to influence you
because you knew nothing of the
question. that was being discussed.
The people who make ouch idiotic
remarks, for 1t Is not an argument,
never in their lives had any real ideas
on the question OF woman sucrage.
They are Just human parrots who re-
peat parrot like what they have heard
some brainless parrot say. and the
brainless parrot got his idea from
some other equally brainless parrot.
The people who are opposing woman
suffrage today-and there are mil
lions OF them-are opposing II be-
cause they have been fooled by this
old parrot cry about destroying the
home, and every two-legged, pants
wearing male gazook shudders at the
thought Of having the home destroy

form Of taxes as do the men. Our
men want too war with Great. Britain
because they we're taxed without par
representation. They had
to pay for government and yet had no
say as to how they should be gov
erned. They called such taxation
tyranny and 1t is tyranny which
Americans fought Great Britain to
end, they force their women to sub
nit to. Now what do you think OF q
bunch OF men that would do that?
Men, bah! Is that a square deal |.
Ought they not to be ashamed OF
themselves? In the California peni-
tentiaries there are about thirty wo-
men and three thousand men.
In the California churches there
are thousands OF women and mere
handful OF men. The same holds
good for most states. You SEQ we
give the vote to those who fill our
jails and withhold 1t from those who
fill our churches. What do you
think of that for logic. fair play, de-
|cency and justice? We know there
are lots Of women who II they had
the chance to vote would not vote.
But listen, at a certain election for
governor in Iowa, there were $4,000
who had the right to vote and did
not do it, not more than two;thirds
OF the men who have the right to
vote avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity. could fill pages with
reasons why women should vote.

sent to mail order houses never comes

a plan for a rural credit system is
being advocated at Washington which
is to be run on the same basis as the
German Landschaft. The plan will
require a readjustment of both State
and National laws in regard to valid
ity OF titles to land. The Landschaft
is a semi-ohicial organization of land
owners which may issue bonds with
the permission of the government. 1t
has a board of directors and resem-
bles our national banks system in
that a charter is required. The plan
benefits both the lender and the bor-
rover and the bonds are said to be
safer than government bonds. In
Germany the Landschaft bonds have
STOOD the strain of war times and are
still much in demand. The rate of
interest is low but the security is
gilt edged.

Henderson, KY, Nov. ga mob
of about thirty masked men took FL

Buckner was charged with detain-

work Friday night.
So quickly did the mob accomplish

were aware anything had happened
until the victim was swinging to a
limb.
None of the members of the mob
is known here.
Members of the mob awoke jailer
Abel at 2 o'clock in the morning and
informed him of their intention.
The jailer pleaded with the mob
not to take the negro. but was held
prisoner while other members of the
mob went to the Jail and forced Dep
uty Jailer Grayson to unlock the
doors.
Buckner was then quietly taken
out and lynched and the mob dis
persed
AS soon as the mob dispersed and
Jailer Abel secured his liberty the
police were notified and began a
search for the body, which they
found in a short time.
They were unable to discover any
members of the mob, however.
The Coroner's jury, after hearing
the evidence, returned the following
verdict:
We, the jury, find the body be-
