EQUAL SUFFRAGE WOULD MAKE
WORLD BETTER, SAYS ARNOLD
Notable Statement From The
State Sunday School
Superintendent
FUTILE ENDEAVOR TO
PROVE SUFFRAGE WRONG

One of the greatest instruments for
good in the state Is the West Nir-
ginia Sunday School Association. With
departments devoted TO every sort Of
moral advancement and with a mem
bership that is statewide its leaders
must OF necessity have given deep
thought to the subject OF equal suf-
frage. II is therefore no surprise 90
learn that General Superintendent Ar
thur I. Arnld Is outspokenly in favr
OF the pending amendment Mr.. Ar
nolds reasons as written and signed
by him follow:
Suffrage Is on the way. When the
movement has been nationally sue
cessful, men who have been wise
OF the fact that they helped, and their
children in after years viii be glad
TO tell or the part they took in bring
ing about this needed change, as I
often tell OF the effort made by my
ancestors In bringing about reforms
OF the past which have made our
country brighter, better place 10
live.
Woman must be the home maker,
and as wife and mother she wields a
mighty influence. but in addition TO
making the home nearest to the type
OF heaven that can be found upon
earth, her influence may well be eN-
tended, as IL is being done where she
has been granted suffrage in making
the outside world a better place for
her children to dwell. This service
IN no way interferes with her efiici-
ency as a home maker.
Just as the Bible was used in an
endeavor to prove that slavery was
right, so II is today being used in a
futile endeavor to prove that woman
suffrage is wrong. but the man who
reads the Bible understanding the
social conditions OF that day, will not
only understand the necessity for such
admonitions as were laid down. but will
conc ude that the same principles upon
which these scriptural admonitiOns
were based, viii give woman her full
right 10 stand shoulder To shoulder
with the noble manhood Of today in
making the world cleaner. safer and
happier place.

ARCHDEACON SPUR
STRONG SUFFRAGIST

Archdeacon Spur OF the Mounds
willie Episcopal church. in reply to a
recent query. gave the following for
publication:
You want my views about equal
suffrage either for or against. but
| cannot see how there can be
any against. other than that OF
prejudice or tradition. Women are
certainly equal To men. taking
them in any comparison. or 10 Is

on the firing line of truth and so
briefly than men. and there Is no

fact why they should not vote and
enjoy equal political rights with
men. b. NJ SPTRR

Colorado women received suffrage IN

A revival of the long-abandoned fl

an electric storm detector used at the
Waterside station of the New York

state. and an alarm bell. Long before
thunderstorm is within hearing dis
lance the sensitive coherer operates
the alarm bell and gives warning to

is said that during some storms when
It becomes quite dark the load is In

During this time he acquired rich

Danger in Present Tariff.

The Germans have had virtual mo-
nopoly on the sale of dyestuffs in
the United States. Under the pres
ent tariff law 1t would not be neces-
sary for Germany to sell in the United
States at prices below those charged
in Germany. 1t would be necessary
for her merely to engage in ordinary
competition with the new infant dye
stun industry, which under ordinary
conditions without a protective tariff
would go to the wall.
The administration recognizes the
danger. but turns aside from the OBJ
vious remedy, which is the establish
ment of protective tariff to equal
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad Since there
is no other remedy, however, and
since the situation must be faced, the
administration Is adopting protection
under another name. Certainly the
proposed anti-dumping law, suggested
as an amendment to one of the anti
trust laws. is very clear form Of
protection. It's purpose is protection.
1t is reputation of the free-trade
theory that American manufacturers.
with their higher wage scales and
higher production, costs, can, never
theless, compete on an equal footing
with European manufacturers.
