l the betterment of conditions for wom-

 There has been an immediate effect for goodi all political parties have been impelled to include in their programme and platform humanitarian projects and
 moral issues which previously they had ignored. There is a more careful selec- tion of nominees, beth municipal and state. The participation of women in elections already Is having wholesome effect in cleansing the state of spoils- men politics and is making for higher ideals in both public and private life. Woman suffrage makes strongly for progress. The mothers of a state are forward looking. They have in mind always the future welfare of their children and most assuredly they will strive to bequeath to these children the best possible conditions of life. Womeu are naturally reformers. Many of the best and greatest reforms have had their inception in small gathering of public spirited women. and it has often been through the efforts of these wom- en. even without the ballot that some of our best laws have been written upon the statutes.
 I am convinced that woman sui frage has a tendency toward greater democracy The women appreciate their greater responsibility and are zealous in their efforts to inform themselves on matters of government. They broad en their sphere, without in any way lessening their interest ine home life. just as surely as men increase their knowledge of government without per hitting their participation in public affairs to dominate their business. The education of a whole people in the af
 fairs of government and the participa- tion of this people on equal footing in the operation Of government cannot fail, it seems to me. to make for greater democracy.-Arthur Capper.

JACKSON, MISS.

Jackson, Miss, November T.-The State Anti-Tubersucolis committee has placed an order for 100000 Christmas seals, and in few days they will be offered for sale in every town of any size in the state. The funds derived from this sale this year will be devoted to the establishment of a tuberculosis hospital. and the egisla- ture will be asked to help along the cause. The charity and other hospitals of the state are all closed to tuberculosis and pellagra patients and as thousands of people, white and black, are dying every year from these diseases, it came to such a pass that the state will be forced to take hold.

Lost Stories of the War

from the IOledO Blade.
 What became of that mighty gun which, "A miles away, threw shells into Dunkirk at five-n,nute intervals?
 What are the explanations of those periodical spells of big gun firing heard by Dutch islanders?
 Those aerial raids on the Krupp works, what did they amount to?
 What was the degree of exaggeration in the stories of the death of Won Kluck and the German crown prince. the tale of the retirement of Won Tirpitz?
 Was the Queen Elizabeth sunk at the Dardanelles, as reported, the Won Moltke destroyed in the Bay of Riga as cele- brated ill Petrograd and London?
 Some of these stories are doubtless woven of pure fiction. Some are true, but the details, craved by the news reading world, have struck snag in the temper amental censors or have been buried under the avalanche of succeeding events Those of us who live long enough will read the answers in the histories of the war-that is, unless the historians are all killed off

Women who do not want to vote are entitled to their opinion, but never let them suppose for an instant that their exclusion from the ballot is any com- pliment. Men are constantly telling us, women are too good to vote,' and ex- pect thoughtful women to accept the statement. The right to a voice in gov ernment is the highest civic responsi- bi1ity and no one can be too good to exercise it.
 Exclusion from the right is degrada- tion and cannot be sugar-coated into anything else; it puts the stigma of in feriority upon women, for they are classed with other undesirables, the criminal, the insane, the idiot and some of the negroes
 Now there is good reason for denying these others any participation in gov ernment, for they. are incompetents; but let no woman agree to the pedestal platitude without a realization of the other disfranchised ones in whose com pany she is placed politically, and let her insist upon consistency.

Washington D. C. "A program
of Safe Farming" for the South
is outlined in a circular which
the United States Department
of Agriculture has sent to bank
ers, business men and farmers
in the cotton States. The his
tory of agriculture in the South,
it has been said, has been one of
lean years and fat years. Short
crops and high prices have al
most invariably been followed
by big crops and low prices, and,
In consequence, the farmer has
experienced much distress. The
increased attention which has
recently been given to support
ing the people upon the land has
already resulted in much good,
but there is some danger, it is
pointed out, that, with the price
of cotton rising, there will be q
tendency for farmers to return
to the old system of gambling
on cotton. If the people of the
South produced their own living,
the circular points out, it would
steady the whole system and
keep the boat from rocking.
The safety measures recommend
ed are as follows:
l. Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm, the
year round, paying special at
tention to a plot of Irish or sweet
potatoes sufficient to supply the
family with food of this charact-
er. Where feasible, have q
patch of sorghum or other cane
TO produce syrup for the family,
2. Produce the corn necessary
to support all of the people on
farm and the live stock, with
absolute safety.
3. Produce the necessary oats
and other small grain to supple
ment the corn as food. Pay
attention to winter grazing.
A. Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop, sGfficient
to supply all of the live stock
on the farm. Use legumes such
as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans,
soy beans and alfalfa for the
production of hay to enrich the
soil with nitrogen and humus.
5. Produce the meat neces-
sary to supply the people, thru
increased attention to poultry
and hogs, especially. Plan to
increase gradually the number
to consume the waste products
of the farm ard make the waste
lands productive.
6. After all of these things
have been amply provided f r,
p oduce cotton for the market.
