WHY THE FARMERS
Wife SHOULD Vote
Her Ballot Would Help Secure
Better Legislation for the
Rural Districts
1T WOULD CURB VICE, TOO
White SlaVers Depend Upon
Rural Regions to Supply the
Majority Of Their Victims
1T WOULD CURB VICE, TOO

The farmers wife should have a
vote because It is just and right. She
is required to pay taxes and obey
laws.
She should have vote for the well
fare Of her husband and family. No
nopolies, corporations, manufacturers
and capitalists control the votes OF
their employees to secure legislative
privileges. The farmers wives and
daughters should have direct Infiu.
ence in order to secure Just legisla.
ton for the farmers.
She should have a vote on the con.
struction of roads over which she
must travel.
She should have vote on the man
agement and policy Of the schools in
which her children are educated, and
on the use Of the school building as a
neighborhood center for improvement.
She should have vote for national
representatives who will favor agri.
cultural development more and war
measures less. Congress spends 20
per cent of the governments income
for wars, past and future, and but IL
per cent for agricultural improvement,
and devises every means to tempt the
sons Of country mothers into the army
and navy. The price of one battleship
would construct 666 miles Of road,
and pave 1t with the best brick.
She should have a vote to protect
her daughter from the white-slave
dealer, and to raise the age OF con
sent.
She should have q vote to enact
legislation for the protection, I'm
provement and health Of her children
equal to that enacted for livestock.
She should vote so the laws OF our
country may give equal pay for equal
work; that the wife may receive a
just income for her share Of the work,
and may manage those holdings pos
sessed in her own name.
One-seventh of our population are
foreign born; the very large majority
of these are men. They swell the
vote of the cities, until on many i'm
portant questions the rural commu-
nifty is disenfranchised. Votes for
farmers wives would be a means OF
cleaning up the cities, so that coun-
try boys might visit them without
being debauched, and country girls
might not be lured into life OF tor
ture and an early death. Sixty thou
sand girls perish through the traffic
in women each year, large number
of them innocent country girls.

LUSITANIA WIDOW
SUES FOR $3.50, 900
Mrs. Hopkins's Husband Was Presi-
dent of the Newport News Ship
building Company.

NEW YORK, April 20. - The first
suit for damages because of the sinking
of the Cunard liner Lusitania on May
7, 1915, was filed Thursday in the adj
miralty branch of the federal district
court by A. Gordon Murray of IS Viii
liam street, acting on behalf of Mrs.
Mary Davies Hopkins of Louisville,
KY, whose husband, Albert Lloyd Hop
kins, president of the Newport News
Shipbuilding company, lost his life when
the vessel was torpedoed off the Irish
coast by a German submarine. Mrs.
Hopkins sues the Cunard line for $780,
600 for the loss of her husband s life.
Mrs. Hopkins alleges that the COM
pany did not take proper precautions
to safeguard the vessel in the war zone
and that the liner was exposed to addi-
tional danger because she only went at
half speed, when full speed would have
| helped to carry her past the danger
lurking in her path. 1t is also asserted
/ in the complaint that the Lusitania at
/ the time she was torpedoed was not
| following the prescribed course set
/ down by the British admiralty for yes
! sells plying between New York and
/ Liverpool. Instead, the complaint al
leges, the Lusitania was steered through
region marked out by the German
government and known to be infested
with hostile craft.
The complaint also sets up that the
Lusitania was, considering the circum
stances at the time. being navigate6
imprudently and negligently"
Mrs. Hopkins asks the court to re
quire the Cunard line to answer upo1
oath certain interrogations, which in
clude these questions:

agreement between the British govern
ment and the defendant line compre
