What Southern Woman Author Did
With Her Suffragettes.
ANRs. CORA HARRIS is one 81

III tlat sue mas risen ABOVE troubles that
would have hooFed another woman, has de-
veloped after she had passed her first youth,
a talent for writing which she said herself
she was amazed to find she possessed.
Mrs. Harris first story Of length, "The
Circuit Riders Wife" placed her in the
front rank of women writer's, at bound,
and she has steadily developed, her latest
story, "The CoCtlzens, dealing with South
ern types, though handling a subject of Ma
tional interest
In this story, the death Of little old
lady, who had been submerged absolutely in
the identity of her husband, shows for the
first time how she had chafed under the life
she had led; mere money was all she had,
and she had been suppressed for so long,
after the death of her husband she did not
know how to live, nor how to use the great
wealth that had come to her.
Perhaps with over-much brooding, and
the loneliness that comes to old. childish
people, rich or poor, she had dreamed what
might have been her life, had she been of
stronger mentality, and more daring spirit
with the money power, which, unfortunately,
was all ''in her husbands name"
Anyway, while she was waiting for the
end Of her own life, she planned what other
women might do, with the unlimited wealth
of, and on this hinges the most delightful
story Mrs. Harris has yet given us.
Suffrage was to do for the women of the
town, what life itself had never done for
the poor little, lonely old woman-rich as
she was. And to the women of the town
are left the mortgages. the bank stock, the
property, and the rest OF the influence which
the money could bring, and they were to de
mand suffrage of the men of the County,
because Of the power the fund left them
would give them.
Right then began more or less of revo-
luton In that town; the women accepted
the conditions, and with it developed an
arrogance and fearlesness of consequences,
that has come with the money power the
world over; they make it so hot for the
men, that suffrage is granted and then what
do you think happens?
The heroine (and of course she was as
young, and as beautiful as herones always
are) wins the victory, and then tells her
patient lover, whom she has most out
rageously fouted, that she is ''ready to
marry and settle down and darn his socks
for the rest Of her life" and they do just
as young folks have done since the dawn of
time, make home with the man and
woman as equal as only love can make them.
some OF us VINO began to read The Co
Citizens" in its earliest installments, were
afraid for Mrs. Harris; we didn't know but
what the suffrage germ had entered her
mind, and that hereafter we would have
only heroines who demanded the ballot, the
latch-key, all their property in their own
name, and the rest of the rights" which
the suffragettes assure us will only balance
the uneven division of life for the sexes
To be serious about the story, Mrs. Harris
has shown the futility of women trying to
get away from what they were intended
to be: companions first, home-keepers, moth

Fort Davis Team with Driver and Mrs. Flowers and two Fort Davis School Children Forced to Seek ~~
 Shelter in Snow Drift till Daylight

The team from Fort Davis whick daily transports the school children to and from the post became lost in the blizzard yesterday afternoon and was compelled to stay out all night. In edition to the driver of the team there were two children and Mrs o. H. Flowers who resides at the fort. It seems that after the team pulled out from the outskirts of town the flying snow caused all landmarks to become obliterated and the driver was soon hopelessly at sea as to where he was going. After driving for a considera
 ble time along what appeared to be the trail, the driver became somewhat bewildered and turned toward the sea but after journeying for some distance was induced by Mrs. Flowers to return toward land. On arriving at the edge of the tundra, the party became con- vinced that further attempts to travea were useless and halt was made un- til morning.

it is truly standpat. You couldn't turn

While it's none of our business, this

Mr. Herrick, with no record &c a

for standpatism as governor.

get so many chances to vote with AL

origin.
About 12O years ago the Neither
lands were organized into the Bata-
Wan republic. The badge and color
of the Stakeholder family was yellow.
1t at once became hateful to the peO-
pie and Notwithstanding they had
driven the prince from the country,
they passed laws against the use of
yellow. Oranges were forbidden to be
sold under the penalty Of imprisOn-
ment and carrots might not be grown
under penalty of a heavy fine. The
yellow flowers. like the marigold,
were not allowed to be grown, and
everything that had a tinge of yell
low about it was forbidden.
This antipathy to yellow and these
laws discriminating against everything
that was yellow continued until Ma
pOleOn took hold Of the country and
made his brother Louis king of Hol-
land. And even then, for years and
years, yellow continued hateful TO the
people.

the University of Colorado has been

Neither of these men has acted in

Nearing has steadfastly refused 10 talk

unwilling publicity those trustees have
given him. his new book on Income"

income he lost along with his job.

In the days when the apostles Peter
and John were hauled up before the
priestly council at Jerusalem on a
charge Of preaching seditiOus doc
trine, wise old Gamaliel reminded his
fellow judges OF the true prophets
who had made good and the takers
who had failed. He advised them to
let the apostles alone, because If they
taught false doctrine it would die out
of itself. and if they taught truth the
council members could no more OPP
pose it than they could fight against

for free speech.
