railroads are asking an increase of L
cent hundred pounds, and from Chi
cago to Gulf ports for export, upon
which they are seeking a 2-cent in
crease, We're again considered at the
interstate commerce commission hear
ing today of the II western railroads
petitioning for higher rates
E. b. Boyd, chairman of the west
ern trunk line committee, was exam
ined by A Z. Helm, of Kansas, repre-
senting the protesting shippers The
railroads, through Mr.. Boyd, had
sought to show that the western rail-
roads were required to carry grain
and grain products at a rate much
lower than eastern rates and that the
proposed western increases We're in
tended TO equalize the rates and also
to give the western roads more reve-
nue. Mr. Helm. in comparing eastern
and western grain rates, asked the
witness whether it was not a fact that
the western roads were showing up
favorabIy Mr.. Boyd asserted the re-
verse was true and produced figures
which he said proved the railroads
contention.
Mr.. Helm asked Mr.. Boyd whether
there was any reason why all export
grain shipped through Kansas City
should not be sent to gulf ports in
stead of to Baltimore and other east
ern ports,
ways is it not probable the grain
would be shipped a longer distance to
the east than it is?" the witness was
asked.

who explained that export rates We're
adjusted so as to enable the eastern

WOMAN'S CLUB
DEPARTMENT
WOMAN'S INFLUENCE

1t has been thought impossible to
find any new argument, either for or
against equal suffrage; yet Governor
Harris. of Georgia, has found one.
In an interview in the New York
Times on the murder of Leo M.
Frank, he is reported as saying:
This awful horror hurts the State.
But don't think the North has had
this dead man. 1t was not for the rea
sons that have been given
1t was because, in the first place,
there is something that unbalances
men here in the South where women
are concerned. | won't call it chiv-
airy. or anything; it is, if you like,
something that destroys mans abil-
ty and even willingness to do cold
and exact justice | have been law
yer for over forty years, and haze
had many cases in the courts, and |
have found that where woman is
the plaintiff she will get twice the
damages man would who had the
same case.
THAT is the way it is in the South;
it cannot be argued against, and must
be accepted as fact. If woman
is the victim of a crime, fury seizes
upon our men. 1t is a feeling that
will never pass away until we have
woman suffrage, which think, we
will have"
will woman suffrage do away
with it?"
Yes" said the Governor. Not with
the respect and admiration men have
for women, but with the protective
feeling that comes from their help
lessness. Let strong man make use
of his strength to force helpless wo-
man to yield to him, and there is
something that arouses the tiger in
Southern men. Yet | won't restrict
it to the South. | believe it is the
same with your men in the North; is
is the same everywhere"
If woman suffrage will do anything
to eliminate the tiger element from
chivalry. and to prevent such crimes
as that which has just shocked the
nation, it is certainly an argument for
granting women the ballot as soon as
possible.

by the news that the murderers were
men of character and standing, like
the men who hanged witches in Mass
achusetts in the old times. Like that
terrible episode in our history, the
lynching was a great crime committed
by honest men unde IA great delusion.
Outside of Georgia thebelief is almost
universal that the real culprit prob
ably was not Frank but Conley. And
even if Frank were guilty, it was a
delusion to fancy for moment that
his murder could do any good which
would offset the evil of the outrage
upon law and order, and the encour-
agement to the wicked spirit of mob
violence.-Edtorial in Womans

WOMEN AND LYNCHING

Lynchings in general have no ele-
mcnt of chivalry. The records and
statistics show that in the vast ma
jority of cases the men who are lynch
ed are not even accused of having
wronged woman. Sometimes wo-
man is the victim of the lynching. In
Mississippi, only few years ago, a
woman was burned alive.
In the case of Leo Frank, resent
ment of the wrong that he was sup
posed to have done to young girl
was the main cause of his taking off
