the eight cast unanimous votes this was

Texas voted 80 to against suffrage;
Georgia voted 2S1a to Az against it. Flor

Alabama cast 30 votes for it and register
ed lone vote against it, Every vote Of
Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennes-

79ls came from the south; the rest Of

THE GOOD SOLDIER


wv J. Bryan IN the Commoner1
The good soldier Is the soldier who ls
ready to perform any duty assioned ia
him. To be a good soldier one need not
be- bloodthirsty. he need not be anxious
to XIII someone or be killed. It Is no
more necessary that the soldier be anx-
ous to fight than that the fireman should
be anxious to fight a FIRE It ls sufficient
that soldier and fireman be ready TO make
any sacrifice required.
Il Is no reflection on the courage and
loyalty of the fireman that the people
who employ him try to prevent fires by
encouraging the erection Of Areproof
bundlngs-no fireman feels offended If a
person prefers a hotel Of steel and con-
crete to a nretrap structure. Neither is
it a reflection on the patriotism Of the
soldier to try to avoid war. 4eace treat
les are intended topreyent war as fire
proof structures are intended prevent
fire. one can appreciate the service rem
dcred by both soldier and fireman with

business Why should not the farmer do
likewise?

everywhere New lands for settlement are
about at an end in the United States.
The rapid increase in urban population
means that ther must be an increase in
