The General Federation of
Women's Clubs two years ago
had less than a million men,
bers. Now it has more than
two and a half million. At it's
last biennial, when it endorsed
equal suffragef for the first time,
the opponents of equal rights
prophesied that many clubs
would withdraw, and that the
prosperity of the federation
would be lost. Instead, it has
gained more new members in
the last two years than in it's
whole previous history. Equal
suffrage has been endorsed also
by the state federation of thir-
states than two
thirds of the whole number
and in not one of these States
have the gloomy predictions of
the ants been fulfilled.
So, after any State gives wo-
men the ballot, all the anti
suffrage predictions of disaster
promptly go into the discard.

Weeds Use Water.

A large weed may use as
m,1ch as A barrel of water. A
plant weighing one pound when
dried has used up 700 to 500
pounds of water in making it's
growth or 20 to 80 gallons max
ing nearly two barrels. From
this il is plain that cutting
down weeds is a very good
way Of saving moisture for the
crop.-North Dakota Expert

The County Fair

The county fair is coming back
The poster sheets are everywhere,
And almost everybody now
Is whooping up the county fair.
We've had our fill of eroplsnes-
We want to see the big fat hog,
The patent churn. the trotting dog,
TIL new device that beats a cog,
And works around through the catalogue
At the county fair.
w We always missed the county fair
Its inner and it's outer track
The dancing saddler, and the bull
About four feet across the back,
We're weary of awful war talk
We want to hear the whistles blow,
The horses neigh, the %roosters crow,
The blooded cattle when they low,
And the shrill- voiced starter shouting Coz
AT the county fair.
1T seems as if the world grows cold,
And people nowadays don't care
For other people in the warm
Old manner of the county fair.
Weir tired of bowling here and there.
We want to shout How are you DAMP
Hello there, Bill and 'Howdy Ami
And get a warm clasp of the hand
From every women, child and man
At the county fair.
"The county fair is coming back
And that is probably as we'll.
A little more, and everyone
Had disappeared within his shell.
The good old plan was better far
We want to meet the human race
In some we'll decorated place,
And be right human for a space
Because of coming face to face
At the county fair"

THE JEFFERSONIAN

flesh of the Holy Father, who hates republics
on principle, and loathes independence of any
kind.
When the Holy Alliance threatened to re-
impose the monarchical yoke on South Amer
lea, was the Pope indifferent, passive, non
cooperative?
The beneficiaries of the Holy Alliance
were, absolute maonarchs and absolute popes
The Holy Alliance schemed, worked, and
fought to stem the tide of liberalism and in
dependence, both in church and state.
Judge the tree by the fruits. 1t was half-a-
century before Europe could recover from
the baleful efforts of the Holy Alliance; and
Italy was kept under the Pope's foot by
Austria and France-two of the old members
Of the Holy Allance-until 1870, when lib
eralism finally triumphed.
In the awful European war now raging
the principles of the Holy Alliance are seen
at work. The Pope is leagued with the
hereditary rulers and despots; and the real
fight is between modern progress-free heads
on free shoulders-against Divine Right"
usurpers who claim that God" commissioned
them to rule the world.

HIS letter has come to me

In your Jeffersonian of April 6th in your
"Detnitionk OF the Monroe Doctrine you state:
After the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, at
banded themselves together to destroy the great
Eml error of the French formed what they were
pleased to call Holy Alliance
wish to say right here that / pursued this
Definition of the Monroe Doctrine with the
greatest of interest and pleased to say that it
has been the means Of my getting together other
facts, all Of which has enabled me to understand
this subject better than l ever did before.
In my search, however, come across this def
milton of the Holy Alliance in the latest edi-
ton of Webster's New International Dictionary,
a copy of which have just obtained
Holy Alliance:-HiSt an alliance OStensiblY
for conserving religion, justice and peace IN
Europe but really for depressing popular tend
encies towards constitutional government, entered
into by Alexander 1. of Russia, Francis I. of
Austria, and frederick William III. of Prussia at
Paris on the 26th of September, 1915, and sub
sequently Joined by all the sovereigns of Europe,
except the Pope and the King of England The
Alliance ended after the revolution of 1880 in
France"
There seems to be clash between your expo
siton of this matter all of which mighty
plausible to me, and what Webster has to say
about it, in that your article leads me to believe
this Alliance continued until after 1880 while
Webster says it ended at that time, and again,
your article says the Pope member of this
Alliance and was Influential in helping to carry
out it's designs, while Webster says that it was
Joined by all the sovereigns of Europe except
the Pope and the King of England
Very truly yours,

Express Companies to the tune of 400 per
cent, yet profit.
While this merry feast of plenty was going
on, we Democrats loaned Government money
at 3 per cent, to the cotton gamblers and we
that the producer had been forced to sell
at $50
But one thing we have not done. We are
now trying to do It,
You will remember that Morgan, Guggen-
helm & Co., were caught trying to steal the
Governments coal lands, and water-power
sites; and that Ballinger had to be dismissed
from Tafts cabinet, in consequence of the
exposures of Louis CLAWS and Clifford
Pinchot
Taft himself was badly smirched in that
scandal, and it helped to beat him.
We Democrats have now tackled the Job
of giving those vastly valuable power-sites
to private corporations.
In other words, acc Democrats are uadcr-
taking to do achat Bazzinger and Taft at
tempted, but failed at.
AS a starter, we propose to take $15,000OOO
of your public money, to develop Muscle
Shoals, on the Tennessee River, in order that
mere pirates shall get the developed power,
and sell it for their own profit.
Senator Oscar Underwood, / am sorry to
say, is the sponsor for this Muscle Shoals
grab.
Dick Ballinger and William Taft must feel
that politics played them scurvey trick,
when they lost office for trying to do what
