Woman suffrage defeated by vote Of the people
last week in Ohio This makes sixteen in the past
FIVE years in which woman suffrage has been voted
down.
In New York state, however, it was carried And it
carried in way that will surprise some people Il
carried BY the vote Of the confesssdly corrupt
slsmsnts. 1t carried by New York City, and not by
the state outside and il carried at the very
slsction in which Mitchell the reform mayor, was
whelmingly defeated!
In other words the corrupt bosses in New York City,
that "votes for women would be help to them!
OF course it will II doubles the vote of every corrupt
element doubles the Catholic vote which is controll
ed by the Pope doubles the slum which is
trolled by Tammany Hall.
But far serious is its effect in weakening the
family, which is the institution upon which
than any other the welfare OF the nation depends Men
and more make women the real queens of the home
and love promote their welfare and support and pro-
tect them Now women want to protect themselves.
Who wife who will not trust him to represent
her on election dayl
The women do not even propose to unite with men
in political action. Mary Garrett Hay. the "woman
boss is holding all she in partisan body to
capture the Offices for women. Mrs Wentz is forming
Republican woman's organization, and Mrs. Katske is
forming a Democratic womans organization. When
women put in the place men they will act
very much do, and the thought that they
purify politics is a deluson They do far in the
old fashioned way Of influence through brothers
and husbands.

TR0TSKY ASSAILs THE U. S.
Declares That America Yielded TO the
Ultinnatum Of Capitalists OF
Wall Street.

PetrOgrad, Nov. 28.-"The greed and
avarice Of the Wall street capitalists
was Americas reason for entering the
war;" said Leon Trotzky to the soviet
when outlining the foreign policy Of
Russia's maximalist government.
Trotzky further declared that the in
terally secrets were In the possession
Of the soviet and made II evident that
he expects their publication to have
the effect OF volcanic eruption.
Tomorrow" he said. "the pubiica-
tion Of the treaties begins. The inter
ally agreements are even more rapa-
ciOus. greedy and cynical than we an
ticipated."
Turning his attention to America,
Trotzky said the United States en-
tered the war after three years of
waiting Under the sound Judgment
of the New York stock exchange.
America could not permit one group
of nations to win a complete victory
over the other group. America, he
said, was vitality interested In the
weakness OF both coalitions (meaning
the allies and the central powers).

High Wages Menace Mountain
Farming

Many of the farmers have left
their farms and gone TO work for
the coal companies. some as miners,
teamsters, trackmen and otherwise.
II is feared that farmers will neglect
their farms for work with coal COM
panies and that there will be an
alarming decrease in farm products.
This will result disastrously for
mountain people. Already large
amount of food products consumed
in the mountain coal fields is i'm
ported. and efforts TO induce farm
ers to stick closer TO the soil have
proven futile. Common laborers are
now being paid about 81 day, more
than can be made on the mountain
farm. farmers insist.

or all times since education has
taken on new life.. this is the
greatest for professional courses.
Americas entrance into the great
world war has forced thousands OF
vacancies in thousands OF different
positions throughout the country.
The many and varied needs OF the
government must be met al once
by men and women with profession
al training. and private enterprises
are calling loudly upon the colleges
and professional schools Of the
country Ia send them people with
sbme expert knowledge. They are
Offering all sorts of inducements

Vocational Education
By Secretary Marshall z. Vaughn

The nation is falling far short Of
the expert agriculturist necessary
to organize the work and meet the
demands Of this country for all
kinds Of food products. The gov
ernment is actually taking people
who are inefficient because the need
is SO great, and competent men so
scarce. But the period Of inefficient
workmen is short, for when the
war is over and the immediate de-
mands not so urgent, the incompe-
tent and unframed will be displaced
by the skilled and the educated.
The government is also calling
for telegraphers 10 enter various
branches Of the military service for
handling messages. The telephone
is not a successful war instrument
because everybody can understand
the message. but all forms Of code
instruments, such as the telegraph,
are i'm great demand because secrets
can be exchanged without fear. The
instruments are plentiful but the
operators few.
