CLAIM OBNOXIOUS FEATURES OF
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT ARE BEING
CONCEALED TO ASSURE VICTORY

Democrats and Republicans, patr1-
otto suffragists like Senator Borah of
Idaho, and all anti-suffragists agree
that this bill means the destruction
Of local self government. Yet there
are men in Congress who do not even
know that it is not referred to the
people of the various states-and po
liticaIly ambitious women are doing
all in their power to keep members Of
Congress in ignorance of what this
bill means.
This amendment gives the suffra-
gists. and socialists the right to an
noy and poster every legislator in the
United States until a majority of the
men in thirty-six legislatures have
surrendered their judgment and prin-
ciples to political threats and cajolery.
SIT means that no legislature in the
United States can meet without be-
ing surrounded by suffrage pickets
1t would be an official endorsement OF
nagging as a national policy. 1t would
gives every radical woman the right
to believe that she could get any law
she wanted by ptcketing and Fostering
her city council, her legislature, hef
Congressman or her President-no
matter how the people voted, nor
what national crisis interfered with
her wishes. And if feminism can be
put through by Fostering, regardless
of the will of the people, SO can pact-
fism, socialism, and all other isms.
Woman suffrage has been voted
upon nineteen times since 1912. Six
| teen times it has been defeated at
the polls. Three times-in Montana,
Nevada and New York-it carried as
/ the direct result of the socialist vote.
This fact has been demonstrated ma
dramatically, and is admitted by the
socialists themselves.
1.-THE suffragist-socialist political
machine is threatening Congressmen
and ordering them to pass this bill,
precisely because the radicals are not
strong enough to carry woman suf-
frage at straight American election
and win by popular vote.
| 'tBut if Congress surrenders to these
impotent threats, the American radi-
Gals of all races will double their po-
litical power-while the conservative
homes, who do not want the suffrage
| cannot De expected 10 exercise pol1-
teal power in sufficient numbers to
offset the increased radical vote Of
the big cities. And thus the Federal
amendment would open a straight
road to the Hillquits, Lenines and
Trotskys of America to Russianize
and Prussianize this country"

INvERT SUGAR in
SODA FOUNTAINS
is RECOMMENDED

Invert sugar has many good points
to recommend it for soda fountain
use, according to the Soda Fountain,
being adapted to sirups and fruit ex-
tracts, and in some cases better than
granulated sugar, because it gives
better keeping qualities. The follow
ing points of merit are. enumerated
for soda fountain men:
1nvert sugar is a pure sugar whose
natural form is that of a sirup slightly
heavier than the heaviest sirup made
Of solution Of granulated in water.
1t can not crystalline. 1t mixes
quickly and completely with any pro-
portion of water, milk, cream, fruit
sirup, or simple strip. 1t does not
ferment and it is said to retard fer
mentation of fruit sirups made from
it. 1t has slightly greater sweetening
powers than graduated sugar. 1t sells
for less than granulated sugar.
Invert sugar. being in strip form,
mixes quickly with other liquids. In
this it is a time-saver for the sirup
maker since extracts may be added
to it direct, or it can be mixed with
concentrated fruit strip and water
to thin the concentrated to service
consistency Simple strip, the plain
unfiavored strip made from granu-
lated, will ferment. Even graduated
sugar, If 1t becomes a little moist,
will ferment. Invert sugar, however,
will not ferment, and it Is claimed by
its manufacturers that it will hold
back the fermentation of fruit sirups
made from it. The time-saving ele-
ment in the use of invert sugar will
| appeal to many strip makers. Its
use does away entirely with percola-
ton. 1t is quicker and easier to
measure out liquid than to weigh
off a solid. In making fruit and
I'choco1ate sirups the invert form saves
the time taken with every batch to
melt the granulated sugar. For
sirups made from extracts, the invert
reduces the process to the simplicity
of just extract and water and serve.

The charge that an organized cam
paign is being made to conceal the
obnoxious features of the Susan B.
Anthony suffrage amendment, and
that suffrag ists, including a woman
member of Congress, are using Sub
marine politics to pass this measure,
is made in a statement issued by the
National Association opposed to Wo-
man Suffrage, Of which Mrs. James
w. Wadsworth, Jr., is president The
statement, signed by Miss Minnie
Bronson, general secl etary of the as
ISOLATION, follows:
1.-THE suffragists are conducting an
organized campaign to conceal from
members of Congress the fact that the
Susan B. Anthony amendment posi-
lively destroys the right of the peo-
pie to vote on the question of woman
suffrage, as provided for in their state
constitutions; that it forces suffrage
upon unwilling states by vote of the
legislatures of other states.
Woman Member Involved in Scheme
I'VE have received letter signed by
a woman member of Congress, ad-
dressed to another member, in which
she says:
"'Of course, voting for the Susan
B. Anthony amendment is not voting
to enfranchise the women. 1t simply
delegates power to the various state
legislatures to extend the right of suf-
frage to the women
This is submarine politics, camou-
flage1the sort of thing used by Len
inc and Trotsky to fool the Russians
into separate peace. The letter quo
ted was sent to a Southern member
known to be opposed to the amend
ment. It is believed that it was sent
to other such members-to lead them
into voting to take away the control
of the suffrage from the people OF
their own states without realizing It.
/ THE Federal amendment gives the
| legislature of Idaho the right to say
who shall vote for mayor in Cincin-
nati-after the people of Ohio have
| defeated woman suffrage three times
at the polls! It gives the legislature
of Wyoming the right to say who
shall vote for aldermen in Boston, al
though the people Of Massachusetts
| have denied such power to their own
state legislature, and reserved it to
| themselves. It gives the legislature OF
Utah the right to say who shall vote
in New Orleans without regard to the

right to say that Chinese shall vote
