and upon the community. For cen
turtles all the women believed It; and
even after women of the more intelli-
gent kind began to doubt 1t, the ma
jority continued to believe. But
whether the majority so believing
was large or small, so long as they
had no experience in the matter their
opinion on the subject could have
little national weight in comparison
with the opinion on the other islands
who had eaten bananas for years.
There is much solemn discussion as
to what the majority of women think
about suffrage where they have never
tried it, as if their opinion were a
point of vast Importance. A point
of mucn greater significance Is what
the majority Of women think about
suffrage after they have had expert
ence of it. AMI even the strongest
opponents admit that after it is once
granted to women it can never be
taken away-any more than the
right to eat bananas can be taken
away from the Hawaiian women now
that they have tried it and have

do not follow.
It is often said that whenever the
majority Of women want suffrage
they can get it. Whenever the ma
jority of women in any State want to
get rid of suffrage they can get rid
Of 1t. Indeed, since in all the suff-
rage states men outnumber women
If there were any general wish among
the men to repeal it, they could do so
with the help of only small part Of
the women. AS there is no serious
movement anywhere for repeal, It If
fair to assume that the majority are
content.
In California, In 1911, 121, 900 men
voted against equal suffrage, and It
was claimed that 80 per cent Of the
women also were opposed. The next
year a petition was started for 1T
repeal, under the initiative and ref
erendum. Both men and women
were eligible to sign. Yet one years
experience had allayed the opposi-
ton so thoroughly that the ants fail
ed to get the $4,000 signatures need
ed to resubmit the question. An

THIRSTY HOST DRINKS
ALLENTOWN FAIR DRY
Drought Relieved After Half
Hour-Philadelphian's Prac-
teal Joke Goes Too Far

ALLENTOWN. Pa. Sept. 22,--After a
strenuous big Thursday, Allentown is en-
joylng the hast day OF its fair, the most sue
cessfui In us history OF two-thirds OF
century. ,H. re
Many occurrences yesterday thrilled the
1o0, 900 attendants. chief among which was
the exhaustion OF the beer supply at mid
afternoon. Such a thing never before had
happened. and Il was half an hour before
the trucks from the breweries brought
fresh supply.
one OF the brewers said he did not care
any more for Allentown Fair business, be-
cause SO much of his glass was lost. People
would buy beer by the glass or the bottle
and throw the glass away prominent
business man. stepping into broken bottle,

II was like Munich--no drunkenness nor
fights, but sociable oonviviality TO the ex-
tent Of about a million beers, reckoning the

Friday is Allentown peoples own day TO
enjoy the fair, and the attendance was
about 10000. Including many reunions Of
families and clans.
A party of forty Philadelphians under
the chaperonage Of Patrick Cleary had the
time OF their lives. They made the trip by
special car, headed by Captain William j.
McFadden and Magistrate Byron Wrigley,
and they had an experience with the Allen
town police department which they will not
soon forget.
One OF the party undertook a practi-
cal Joke and borrowing the watches of two
others slipped them and his own into the
pockets of Arthur Millholland, the famous
millionaire cop" who was one OF the
visitors. The jokesmlth then hunted up an
Allentown policeman and accused Mill
holland. The Allentown policeman promptly
arrested the Indignant Mlllholand and
escorted him to the station. There, 20 Mill
hollands dlsmay, when he was searched,
the three watches were found and things
looked black.
Members OF the party began to explain
II was all a joke. but the alert Allentown
officers didn't look at Il that way, being
convinced they had nabbed a. dangerous
crook. BY this time Captain McFadden
heard of the joke and put himself to work
to straighten out the affair, but II took the
combined influence of the Philadelphians to
make the Allentown police understand that
It was indeed only fun, and that Millholland
was respectable citizen and valuable
officer, entitled to his freedom
