WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

| notice that the Crow Foot Bot
tom and RI. A writer's are the leaders
OF the antisuffergetts among the cor
respondence. | said in my Wolf Run
letter Of two weeks ago, that would
discuss this question with anyone
outside of the regular correspon-
dence. So here ] come with star
ter. Now my friends the first thing
wish you to do is to answer the ten
questions as follows:
|. If equal Suffrage is bad
thing, why has it spread from the
State that first adopted it to ten
neighboring States, all adjoining one
another?
2. If the majority of the people
anywhere are dissatisfied with il,
why IS there no move made to repeal
it?
3. If it leads mothers to neglect
their children, why is the lowest in
FAINT death rate in the world found in
New Zealand?
4. If it increases divorce, why did
Colorado grant 935 divorces the wear
before women were given the ballot.
and only 597 the year after?
B. II it is demoralizing, why did
only 81 out of 624 ministers and edi-
tors IN the Suffrage States replying
to Julia Ward Howe's letter of in
curry give an ufavorable opinion?
6. II the majority Of women are
opposed, why have only about one
percent of the women in the United
States joined the widely-adverti
National Association Opposed to Wo-
man Suffrage, according to the as
sociation's own figures?
q Among the millions of citizens
IN the enfranchised States, why have
the opponents Of equal Suffrage thus
far failed to find more than a dozen
respectable men who assert over
their own names and addresses that
it has had any bad results?
s. From the largest Chamber of
Commerce to the smallest sewing
circle, why has no organization of
any kind in a Suffrage State ever
passed resolution condemming it?
3. Unless most people like it after
they have experience Of it, why do
opponents warn us that, once grant
ted it never can be recalled?
10. Why Shouldn't Women have
the ballot? Now please answer those
questions you surely have some ex-
PLANTATION to make why women should
not vote.

TEACHERS TO STUDY AGRICUL
TEJRE.

a large number of teachers from
both high and common schools are arr
ranging to study agriculture while
attending the summer school at West
Virginia University, beginning June

These teachers have found the de-
mands for agricultural instruction so
insistent and the opportunities for
teaching so great that they have de-
termined to better equip themselves
to meet this demand.
According t. the statements of
many educators, the teaching Of agri-
culturally, and better trained acade-

Of the most valuable lessons Of life.
Industry is not only explained and
commended, but it is realized. It has
been amply demonstrated during the
present year that those persons who

VALUATIONS FOR TAXATION.

The Republicans are now advanc-
ing the argument that direct state
tax is inenuitable because there is a
sferert sfa~2ard of values 81 The
The surprising thing in THIS state
ment is not the truth it contains, but
that the truth is admitted. 1t is a
confession that the Republican spon-
ors for the present tax laws either
wilfrlly deceived the people, or were
themselves deceived, when they de-
clared that the new system would
make taxation equaE and uniform
Their principal objection against the
u system was the inequalities of as
.sessment under it, and now they are
condemning their own system be-
cause of the same weakness.
