for the mere men who formulated
that inefficient and stupid instrument,
the Constitution of The United States,
which the ladies' are SO anxious to
amend in their own interest. Until
they can get together on such a conf
paratively simple proposition as that
of union among themselves, it might
be we'll enough to refrain from at
tempts to make the fe deral constitution
conform to their ideas. We make
these few remarks with diffidence,
not to say with apprehension. Yet
wisdom is justified of her children.
The main difficulty with the suffrage
movement in the east and south is the
persistent and ill-advised attempt 10
make a national issue of what belongs
to the states, and to extort an alleged
right by a wholesale enactment that
ignores fundamental principles. If
the suffragists in Maryland and else
where could realize the unwisdom of
a plan of campaign that is as distaste-
full and offensive to men as the plan
of effacing individual leagues seems

WOULD BORROW S1,ooo,ooo.

Secretary of State Earle Hodges in his biennial report to Governor Hays, has suggested that the state borrow $1, 100000 for period Of from fo to 20 years. and levy a spec ial tax to payt the loan and interest. This, according to Secretary Hod= ges, is the most feasible plan for remedying the state : financial coll ditions. The plan will probably be recommended to the legislature by Gov. Hays, during the coming ses- sion, and the money would immed- lately be placed in the general rev enue fund. This amount, would al low the state to operate on a cash basis until July when the sheriff 5 and collectors settlements for taxes are made

LIGHTS AT STATION.

\ petition was circulated latter par of last week among local busi- ness men, which asked the Frisco railway to place electric lights in and about the local station The pc tftion will be presented to the rail road company through their local agent \. M. Leitzel
 It is thought highly probable tlNt very little difficulty will be exper- fenced in getting the railroad to in stall the lights The matter Was taken before the railway company some time ago, and the lights would have been in before this, but the To- cal rate was considered too high, and the service time so short that the question was passed. The rates are now more reasonable, and the all night service is a feature the rail way company requires before lights will be placed ill their station.
 The railway officials, as well as the travelling public are aware of the conditions at the local station, when the night trains arrive, and the poor lights afforded to travellers and others having business at the station after night, and to say they are needed, is putting it mildly.

 The News was so busy last week that We neglected to wish all our readers happy and prosperous year for 1915; but we had the thought nevertheless.
 Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week were the first clear, sun- shiney days since the first of De cember, and the merchants enjoyed three days of good business, al- though immediately following the Christmas trade.
 Harvey Combs, of Madison coun- ty, son of Prosecuting Attorney John Combs, will in all probability be the chief clerk cf the House of Repre- sentatives, for the coming session.

We want you to get The New and will see that you do, but be as patient as possible. for our list has grown considerably, and it neeessi- tates some little time to get every thing running smoothly again.
 Local merchants report 1914 as the biggest year Of their business, and every month in the year, except De cember, shows gain over the same time in 191. 3The month of December was everything but right for shopping The rain, sleet and snow, and cold weather throughout tae entire month had tendency to keep people at home The town trade was well up to the usual, but country folks found it almost impos- sible to get to town over the heavy roads, and through the sleet, snow and rain that fell almost the entire three weeks before Christmas. 1915 starts right, and all merchants feel tAat the spring trade will be the biggest in the history of the country
