NECESSITY FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir;--In your issue OF the 10th inst
on the first page appears the article
regarding the hearing OF the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage be-
fore the joint committee at the Capitol
at Dover. On The same page appears
two other articles, one entitled Bus-
band Cut the Clothes OF Wife" and
the other "s123,26 Support for De-
serted City Families" followed by the
number of wives and little children in
volved-loft to starye or to freeze by
their natural protectors" These lat
ter two articles bear witness to tho
growing necessity for women's en-
franchisemcnt.
Only last week your paper contain
ed an account of a case Of woman
who had been married but Eve years +;
during most OF which time, by her
own labors, had supported her hus-
band, and when he finally returned
hVii' Niuhht anu lUdllItditu 0cIt sue
| refused longer TO live with him, and
when tho Judge OF the Court asked
her whether she would return TO him
your paper reports her answer as
COMPATIBILITY no and thereupon tho
| Judge dismissed the case" What
I justice or support did this woman get
either from her natural supporter" OF
the law? Monet And it is the in
creasing number Of such acts of glar-
ing injustice that is driving women
TO seek to protect themselves, and
this can only he done through the bal
lot-when each individual shall have
the right. guaranteed us under our
Constitution, 10 self representation. II
is for this principle Suffragists are
fighting today. and until II is accorded
them, they will continue TO fight.
Yours truly.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
SMYRNA AND ITS TRAFFIC.


From the Smyrna Times.
We understand from reliable
sources there arc private interests who
VII put on a fast freight and pas
sengor boat limo out or Smyrna River,
anw will do it without asking the
farmers and shippers 10 subscribe to
stock II they are given a chance. v
this be so, why dilly daily any longer
Stock companies are all right in some
Instances, but in tho history OF Smyr-
ma River navigation they have proved
more or less a miserable failure.
Whether to mismanagement or not,
those OF our citizens who put their
money into these various steamboats,
enterprises scarcely ever receive a
dividend. We do not wonder from
past events, our farmers and mer-
chants are slow 20 put up their
money especially in instances where
outside capital dominates and con-
trolls the line. AS a rule these domi-
mating influences have no other in
terest in Smyrna farmers and mer-
chants other than what they can get
out OF them. We have always be-
hevod that a close corporation is bet
ter than an unwioldy stock company.
If private individuals therefore have
enough faith In steamboat enter
prise 20 put up their own money and
run II, so much the better. There is
no doubt a properly run steamboat
line plying between Smyrna and
Philadelphia, will receive tho support
OF farmers, merchants and shippers
generally. Smyrna Landing and
Bleming's Landing will draw from an
advantageous field n private inter
ests will put up their money and will
demonstrate they can run a line. the
shippers from this vicinity will nc
doubt support it.

IRON the Dover Index.
II, as the State Sentinel says, the
proposed eight-hour law IS to apply
20 farming, and under II the farm
hand would begin at s o'clock IN the
morning, feed his team, milk the
COWS, get into the field at 3 or $50
quit at -, take two or three hours
at noon for odd jobs, and get into the
field in time TO work his team an
other two or three hours" We do not
expect IL 70 meet very hearty ap-
proval OF our farmers. There is a
feeling that the eight-hour day is the
right thing for some employees. This
feeling is not from a party view. In
many occupations the work is hard,
tense and nerve straining. While
farm work is hard enough, IL is not
like running an engine or a machine,
or digging in a mine. Most farm work
is done in leisurely. deliberate man
ner and the strain OF ten or eleven
hours is not equal to eight hours in
a mill os factory. Even in many Of
the occupations when the eight-hour
system is proposed to be tried there is
doubt Of its continuance, certainly
there is no present demand for its
application to farming.

A REPORT Of the Federal Reserve Board says:
The United States has now attained position OF
wealth and OF international financial power which in
the natural OF events could not have reached

Yet in Henry Morgenthau's advertisement soliciting
campaign contributions to re-elect Wilson was cited
$4l0O00O00OO increase in the wealth OF this nation
which was credited TO the Democratic administration
Following their success at the polls, the Democrats
placed the credit for prosperity where it belongs

ADJUTANT GENERAL
ISSUES WARNING

Portland, Oregon, Sept. An
persons entering the forests must be
extremely careful at this time about
lighting fires. This is not tie Fire
Marshal warning of the usual type.
There is very urgent reason for this
warning. The woods just now are
filled with military patrols with rig
id instructions to shoot public ene-
mics caught setting fire to the for
ests.
Therefore, it is doubly necessary
to be careful as military patrols.
while instructed to exercise every
precaution, might possibly make a
mistake.
These military patrols are operat-
ing in every part of Oregon where
forests are to be found. Their loca-
tion is not revealed for obvious rea-
sons. They move from place to place
and keep to cover as much as pos3i-
Bile. Their task is that of hunting
down public enemies who have been
firing the Oregon forests, and they
are under orders from the Western
DEPARTMENT of the Army to deal in
stantly and vigorously with such pub
lie enemies.
So if necessary for you to go into
the woods, be careful about ligrting
fires. No doubt it would be better to
keep out of the woods unless you
have urgent business therein.
