HUNTERS HAVE BUT
TWO MORE DAYS
Quail go Under the Ban From Hunt
ers on New Years Day-Squirrels
and Deer Also CaptiOned.
RABBIT SEASON IS EXTENDED
This Leaves Season for Fur Bearing
Animals, Such as Fox, Skunks
Ect., Open.

The season for killing deer, wild
turkey, quail and squirrels closes on
December 31st. This leaves open the
season for killing fur bearing animals,
such as foxes, skunks, o'possums and
|laccoons and the season for geese and
ducks.
The rabbit season never closes but
hunters are required to have licenses
to hunt the same as for other game.
The laws say no person shall hunt
except he has license and does not
specify the kind Of game he shall
hunt.
The fur bearing season closes on
January Bliss. The season for killing
geese and ducks continues open until
April Both under the state law. The
federal law seeks to close that season
in Missouri on January 31st. Its con-
stitutionality is being tested in the
supreme court Of the United States
on appeal from the Federal district
court of Arkansas which had the law
10 be unconstitutional and invalid. 1t
was argued last October but no de-
cision has been announced. A decision
may be expected early in January.
Many hunters wait until late in the
year before taking out their licenses
and then complain that they do not
get to hunt on them for whole year.
Hunters should take out their licenses
in January when they can hunt the
entire year for all game in season.

THE WAR AND EQUAL

SUFFRAGE,
WE hear a good deal about the mo
tility" Of women, and resolutions are
continually passed complimenting the
noble women" of the country, but
when 1T comes down to brass tacks
mobility" seems to have nothing to
do with the qualifications for voter.
Along this line of-equal suffrage with
reference to war, the New York World
editorially says:
"Is it not more than possible that
the new democracy which it is sup
posed will spring from the ruins of
the warning nations IA Europe may
carry with it equal rights to women :?
"The label 'superfuous' applied in
the past by statisticihns to women
not born independent or unmarried,
will no longer hold. Far from being
.uperfuous, they are proving them
selves of the most vital Importance.
Wherever man has been called to
the front woman has stepped into
his former place, till today part Of the
commercial business Of England,
France and Germany IS being oper-
ated by women. This, too, is not
restricted to clerical work, as she is
showing her efficiency ii manual labor
as well. She is working side by side
with the men in the factories and at
the same wage.
"Hitherto the 'superhuous' woman
has been rather a pathetic figure in
the world. To her brother workers
she was something Of nuisance in
tending to reduction Of his wages.
To-day all this has changed. While
the men were away fighting woman
has won bloodless victory. She is
in every sense Of The word mans
equal and will remain DO,
when the war is over, with the
many men killed and the many more
MANNED, competition in labor between
the sexes will cease. The problem
will be to find sufficient people to per-
form the necessary work, and tits to
woman the states will have to turn.
With affectionate solicitude she will
be importuned to aid in aIleviating
the situation, and her equality will
be a fact as co-worker. When this
happens supplication will be a thing
of the past. Woman need not ask her
brother whether he will or will not
grant her suffrage, but can bluntly
demand it,
Mexico weekly ledger., 1915-12-30

that he does not invariably comply
with the ordinances or that he dis
poses Of any prisoner without a pub
lie hearing, tells what is untrue"
According to the card signed by
the four councilmen, Mr.. Bsllew said:
There was no record being kept of
arrests made, and that persons ar
rested were being turned loose with
out being brought before the police
judge for trial" It seems to be a
case of veracity between Councilman
Ballew and Chief-of-Po Wallace.
AS matter of fact, this question
seems to have been discussed more
or less for the last month or so, and
the Ledger is simply trying to give
the facts in the case as they are of
record. Some one must be making
false statements that at least is evil

STONE APPEARS IN @PLUG. HAT
Missourian in Social Limelight During
Visit of Pan-American Delegates.

Washington, D. G., Dec. 29.-Sen-
ator Stone of Missouri-unlike Sem
ator Sherman Of Illinois-does not
shy at a "two- gallon hat. This was
demonstrated Tuesday when the Mis-
sourian appeared in a smart new silk
tile at the reception rendered visiting
Pan-American delegates by Secretary
Of State Lansing.
As chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, the most coveted
of all senatorial honors, Senator
Stone has been forced into the social
limelight this week, and is likely to
remain there during the IS days the
distinguished representatives of
neighboring Republic are guests Of
the nation.
Monday night at a brilliant gather
ing in the magnificent ballroom Of
the Bureau Of American Republic, the
Senator and his daughter, Miss Mabel
Stone, were in the receiving line with
members and ladies' Of the Presidents
Cabinet.
| II the Senator wore his "plug" hat
to that affair, it was not noticed in
the veritable sea Of similar chapeaux.
Tuesday afternoon, however, even
though friendly clouds prevented the
sun from adding brilliance to the COW
ering on the Senator's silver-crowned
head, the new adcrnment did not es-
cape attention.
1t is not recalled here that the SEN
ior Missourian ever before ventured
out in high lid, but truth demands
the frank admission that the nnova-
tion would have pleased the eye Of
his most critical constituent.

Col. R. M. White,

Col. r. M. White,
Mexico, Mo.
Dear SIR
Mexico, Mo-, Dec. 10th, '15.--In
your paper of last evening you state
that the couneilmen are not in favor
Of enforcing the ordinances and that
they voted against enforcing them.
We see that you did not take time to
inquire into the matter before writing
the article you did and we wish to be
placed in the right light before the
people we represent. The matter Of
enforcing the ordinances was brought
up by Mr.. Ballew and every council
men made the statement that he was
in favor of having the officers enforce
the ordinances and If they did not do
it to find out why. Mr.. Ballew stated
that there was no record being kept
Of the arrests made and that persons
arrested were being turned loose with
out being brought before the Police
Judge for trial. Mr.. Ballew made a
motion that the officers be instructed
to register the name Of every person
arrested and to hold them until tried.
Thee ouncilmen then stated that it
seemed to be superfuous as they had
just declared themselves in favor Of
the enforcement of all the ordinances
and instructions be given to register
oil arrests and to follow the ordinan-
ces to the letter. Now this is the at
titude that we have taken in the mat
ter and we feel that we have done
nothing wrong and have done nothing
that will cause the people to think we
are not in favor Of law enforcement.
Yours truly,
E. L. Johnson,
J. A. Lewis,
