A REPLY TO THE ANTIS

from the New fork Independent
 The anti -suffragists of the old Bay State are cheerfully frank about the basic facts In the case. The name of their organiza- tion is the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension Of Sufl frage to Women" A bit cumbersome for these short cut days, perhaps, but puri- tanically free from any hit of deception. to their credit since. to any but a trained anti intelligence, it seems like a fatal admission.
 There are just Is states in the Union in which no women vote for anything what ever. There are 12 suffrage states. There are 20 states in which women have d par. | tial right to vote-generally for members of school boards.
 So in two-thrds of the United States l the question is no longer, Shall woner | vote?" It is rather. Shall women whc vote for this be allowed to vote for thai | as well?' And in one-quarter of tn, | states even that searching question hal
 been answered in the affirmative. Let us face the issue squarely. | Since women may vote on child educa
 tion, why not on child labor? | Since women may have a hand in th, | spending of public moneys for hIrin,
 school teachers, why not for employins | food inspectors?
 Since their votes may influence tn,
 building of schoolhouse, why not of postoffice?
 If women are to vote at all, they shoul, vote in all. If womens place is in tn
 home it is as bad for her to take plac l In a school board as in health board.
 For two-thirds of the United States tn question of woman's voting is settled The only open question is the further ex tension of suffrage to women" To tha question logic, good sense and fair pla. | have but one answer.

An Early Autumn

q have long been an observer of weather signs and I feel certain that we are going to have an early autumn in this part of the country" said Joseph F. Dill of B1ount county.
 When summer begins early and is very hot with few cooling spells, we al- ways have touch of fall in the first week of September and real fall from the latter part of the month until the season bring us to winter. I am expect ing hard winter weather in January, but not much freezing until then. ''

A Great Corn Crop

My cotton did not turn out well, but I have a great corn crop.' said T. T. Ashford, one of Birmingham's best known and most esteemed citizens, who farms extensively in northern Alabama.
 "On my farm in Limestone county about five miles from Decatur I have 25c acres in corn and the lowest esti- mate in the yield is 75 bushels to the acre. This season has been just right for corn in Limestone and adjoining counties. Last year my yield was only 20 bushels to the acre. An increase of more than threefold Is remarkable, but nevertheless it Is true.'

HOTEL LOBRIES
 Business Hummiug

This has been busy Monday in the retail district; 1t reminds me of old times when prosperity ruled high" said Felix M. Drennen yesterday afternoon.
 Many merchants have had a very good summer and August has been a particularly brisk month, but nothing to what September will be. The pay rolls next month will be enormous-the biggest in a long while-and of course big pay rolls make business hum.
 Awhile back 1t looked as if the farm CT would do well to get 73s or cents for his cotton. Now I hear cotton men talking about 10 cents and higher. If cotton does go above 10 cents and stays there the whole south as well as the Birmingham district will be on boom" !"

Having voted for MT. Wilson for President, I am glad to find his ad- ministration Is popular with people like myself who take no active part in poli- tices," said Charles M. Seaton, member of a mercantile firm in St. Louis.

Romantic Story in Real Life

'"The New York correspondent for the Associated Press has indeed discovered a most captivating romarce for the daily press,' remarked George F. Thomas of Jacksonville.
 '"The headlines appearing in a recent Prince Sails Amid Dangers of English Channel-the Maharajah of Kapurthala With His Beautiful Spanish Queen on Board the Rotterdam En Route for the Punjab; Fear Capture by the Germans, were enough to make the man familiar with the hum drum affairs of life realize that all romance has not yet been com pressed between the covers of works o1 fiction In fact. the story has a rich spicy flavor, and smells of the orient is of the opinion that variety is the spice of life; for not only has he welded a beautiful Spanish lady. but has now formed an attachment for an accom- plished American girl
 "It would certainly be a sad occur renee should this modern hero of Ara bian Nights with his large retlnue be destroyed by the black magic of the sub- marine or become a captive held for ran som by the dreaded Germans. Let u. hope that the eastern potentate whose environment savers of rich romance oi the past reaches India's coral strand without serious molestation.'
