SUFFRAGE ITEMS.
By LILLIAN PERlAE DAVIS.


Suffrage map shows no black from
the Pacific to the Mississippi, except
for Missouri, Arkansas and Texas
Estates belonging to the South.
Either whole or partial suffrage
reigns throughout every other cor
ner OF the West. And now the
S,uth Is coming into line. The
recent presidential election has
opened the eyes of Democracy.
Statesman after statesman has seen
the light. Following the statesmen,
other men are becoming reconciled
to the idea, and Southern women
who have feared that their men
folks might think them unlady like
if they took a stand for suffrage,
need fear it no longer, for the South
is coming into line.
This weeks issue of the Woman's
Journal carries reports Of Southern
activity which ring with patriotism
and progress.
Texas, larger than Germany. and
stronger than everything south OF
the Rio Grande put together, Is
ready to grant her women freedom.
1t is confidently expected that the
Legislature, which meets in Janu-
airy 1917, will pass the necessary
amendment, which may be ratified
the same year.
Virginia, who led in the first fight
against taxation without representa-.
ton, celebrated the election with
magnificent demonstrations featur'
ing Votes for Women"
Georgia, where only last year the
Legislature refuted utterly the ides
iof women in government, and where
III may also be mentioned, womeI
are refused admittance to the State
University, even Georgia invited thu
Suffragists to take part in the grea
plrsde opening the Georgia Carolina
Fair.
Louisiana and Oklahoma, witt
partial suffrage already won, ar
working with renewed vigor for full
power.
Mississippi sends a significant re
port Of the recent meeting Of he
Federated Clubs. A resolution wa
presented asking for endorsement
of,equal suffrage. After many abb
speeches, action was deferred for
year. Not one speaker opposed
suffrage itself; objections to endorse
ment we're all made on some othe
ground. Miss Orr, who presente'
the resolution two years ago, wa
requested not to mention suffrage il
a report she was to make for he
club. This year she was given
place on the program to present tn
subject.
Tennessee, the mother Of Texa:
had no report Of this week. Sh
was too busy humping herself t
beat her big daughter to the frs
Southern white spot on the Suffrag
map. Ell
Senator-elect Kenneth D. Mckee

THURSDAY, SEPT. IA, 1915.

The poor train accommodations
and the poor mail service In the
afternoon seems to be getting on
the nerves of all the business
men of Clay City, Stanton and
the travelling public. Country
people going from L. & e. sta
tions to Winchester, Mt. Sterling
and Lexington are getting tired
of having to 60 home in the dark
after getting off the night trains
that used to come early enough
in the afternoon to get home be-
fore night.
The L. & N. has a combination
service over the W. q l. and l..
& 4. that rightly belongs to the
l.. & E. alone. This neglect of
public service was made possible
when the l.. d N. was allowed by
the State authorities to illegally
acquire the l.. & E. We predict
ed then that such service would
be imposed upon the people when
ever 1T was to the L. & Ms adj
vantage to do so. Give a rail.
road an inch and they will take
a mile. We are entitled to as
good service today as we had ten
years ago, but we are not getting
it.

The day at Winchester Satur-

were fed and entertained. Vice.
President Marshall and select
others were specially entertained
by private dinner. The Demo-
crat of that city refers to the
special dinner as a "little error,
and truly it was. The Demo.
cratic party has always been the
party OF the common people, and
it will continue to be, regardless
OF the blunders made by a few of
its members occasionally. The
Times believes that no one man
is better than another any fur.
ther than his honor and precepts
place him. Position does not
make the man, or add one iota of
prestige to the real man. He
must make himself from his own
acts and deeds.
Under all events the day at
winchester was a big day and
added hundreds of votes to the
ticket despite this "little errors.
The best interests of the party
should not suffer because of the
mistakes of the few. Democrats
are voting for Wilson and as Mar.

distinction at any time between
the rich and poor; the man high
in Office and the plain citizen.

The election of school trustees
will come up in a few days.
There is considerable opposition
to consolidation of school dis.
tricts and building larger school
houses on account of the bad
roads to travel in the winter
months, and on account of the
necessity to keep the school tax
in the county to the present high
limit. If the people will first
find out how the candidates for
trustees stand on the proposition
and vote only for those who are
for continuation of accessible
schools and lower tax, the ques.
tion will be solved.

mania after entering the war,
like all the other fighting nations,
was to stop the sale of liquor,
which of course means to stop
drinking it. The countries have
learned that men cannot do good
fighting, scientifically, full of Ii
quor. In this country the boys
do most of their fighting after
getting tanked up on liquor. But,
then our boys kill by retail, while
across the ocean they purpose to
murder by the wholesale, and
only the leaders need to prop
their "spirits up by putting spir-
its down." The sober man must
do the real fighting, since the in
toxicated man in the army, as in
the country, is too apt to kill his
best friend because it comes ham
dy, and 1t is often his idea more
to do plain killing, regardless OF
who it is, instead of Staying the
enemy only.
If the warning nations will keep
liquor away from them after the
close of the war as sacredly as
they are during the war, the cost
of the war at its tremendous toll
of property and blood, will be an
insignificant consideration, and
though appalling as it is, we
should envy the day that kept
this country from the wrangle.
But it is not the purpose of the
war to eyerlastingly stop the use
of liquor. A great pity that it
is not.

recall.
The Grays Harbor Post, in an edi-
torial opposing the commission plan.
has the following:
"The Post desires to ask the COM
mission advocates a question, that it
has repeatedly asked in the past two
months. Who are the three men who
are capable of drawing down the sal
aries that the three commissioners
will receive in Aberdeen, if the COM
mission carries, who will give up
their private business and take the
places of commissioners?
The evident object of this uues-
ton is to inject into the campaign
for the adoption of the new system.
a possible rivalry between individ-
uals who may aspire to become COM
missioners, but it is so obviously I'M
answerable as to border on the ride
ulous Aberdeen is in sore straits
indeed if it does not contain three
citizens capable and willing to fill
those positions. But the impossible
lty OF naming the commissioners is
plain to the most casual reader.
The task Of naming the commits
sioners rests with the citizens of
Aberdeen, and the judgment exercis-
ed in their selection will be clearly
shown in the efficiency or otherwise
Of those chosen. The Post is we'll
aware that any citizen may file as
candidate before the primary elec-
tons, and that the six receiving the
highest number of votes at the pri-
mary will be candidates at the regu-
lar election, when three of the six
will be selected. The scheme of Sc
lection can scarcely be improved up-
on under our form of government.
The commission form, no more than
any other, is self-operative. In the
1O-HERALD "a
final analysis it's operation, wise or
otherwise, is up to the people. It is
no patent remedy for the evils of

the dairy stock interests are organized
and definite lines of breeding are laid
down and followed, as, for instance,
Waukesha county, Wis, Is but one way
to realize very strongly the truth of the
above statement. or go into some herds
of dairy cattle where a persistent line
has been followed for a number of
years in the use Of pure bred bulls of
one breed as herd headers and see the
result. In each of these instances you
will surely be made to realize that a
pure bred bull is not only an educator.
but he has caused the farmer to have
before his eyes living example of
what Hiram Smith so aptly termed.
Professor Fraser Of Illinois in one of
his studies brought out very fOrceful
example of the influence Of pure bred
sire. He showed by actual data that
wherever a pure bred sire was used
the labor income of the farmer was
decidedly greater. 1t appears that
where pure bred sires were used the
income was $S37 as against $439 where
grade sires were used and $17S where
scrubs were used
Is there any better example Of the
upbuilding and educating influence
which the use Of a pure bred sire has
exerted?
At the Kansas Agricultural college a
most excellent demonstration is now
being made Of the Importance of the
sire. The chief Holstein herd bull is
Sir Carlotta Pontiac Cronus. a grand
son Of Hengerveld De Kol. The first
heifers from this sire have just recent
ly completed their first lactation Pc
Rod There are nine of them, and they
have averaged as two-year-olds l,o00
pounds more Of milk and sixty-five Of
butter fat than the best record Of any
of their dams This is an excellent H.
lustration Of the prepOtent power Of
some sires. An animal Of this kind,
even though not classed as show bull.
Is well worthy Of place in any herd.
