An Open Letter to
 The Anti Suffragists

Really, dear Antis, you should in form yourselves before you talk for publication. In this weeks news let ter sent out from your headquarters, you say: When the (suffrage) bills were introduced they were given more or less blind titles .. one bill was sent in entitled "Concerning the quail fications of electors and was refer red quite properly to the committee on constitutional amendments, before whom the hearing was held. The other bills with their definite titles were referred to the Judiciary Com nittee, although it was clearly stated in the body of the bills that they were proposals to entitle women to the vote.'
 The facts are as follows: there is no title to any suffrage bill introduced such as the on you quote; the title to the resolution-not "bill,' dear Antis, to amend the constitution, is entitled Proposing an Amendment to the Con- stitution Concerning the Qualifications of Women Voters;" House Bill 805, to give women a vote on liquor Ques- tions, might have gone to the Excise Committee, or, being an amendment Committee, OF, being and amendment of the present statutes, to the Judi- ciary Committee; House Bill 595, to give women a vote for municipal of- ficers and for presidential electors, might have gone to the Committee on Federal Relations, the Woman Suf- frage Committee, or the Judiciary Committee, and on different days.
 Your remark about the Speaker asking the House why the petitions on woman suffrage were being referred to the Suffrage Committee would make even the uninforned smile, as everyone knows that it is the Speak CT, himself, who assigns petitions
 Dear Antis, perhaps you really are not fit to vote, but please do not inn agine for that reason that no women are.

HAYD0N

Among the great English painters Robert Haydon ranks among the greatest, although his genius found scant appreciation during his tragic and pathetic lifetime. It was on the fourth of April, 1S46. that Haydon re- ceived that last blow to his pride which was, as he wrote in his diary, "the beginning of the end" It was on that date that he placed on exhibition the large picture, "The Punishment of Aristides,'' on which he had long been engaged. The picture was shown in a room at the Egyptian Hall in Pic cadilly, and the artist hoped that the receipts would be sufficient to relieve him of the debts that were then ou- pressing him. Only four persons in spected the canvas on the first day, and in the entire week the, total at tendance was only 133. After five weeks of heartbreaking disappoint- ment he closed the exhibition. having lost nearly hundred pounds. The worst feature of this dismal failure was, to Hadon, the fact that under the same roof the famous dwarf, "Gener- ap' Tom Thumb, was attracting eager thousands. In his diary the painter wrote: '"They rush by thousands to see Tom Thumb. They push, they fight, they scream, they faint. It is an in sanity, a rabies furor a dream, of which I would not have believed Eng land could have been guilty" His own failure, coupled with the success of the lionized dwarf, so preyed upon hot hn N insane, and on morning in the fol- lowing June the hapless genius was found in his studio prostrate in front of his picture Alfred the Great and the First British, Jury" By his side were his prayer book, his diary, .a portrait of his wife, and letters to his wife and children. He had used both a pistol and a razor in ending his life. In his journal he had writ ten: Stretch me no longer on this rough world"

PLAN SOCIETY
 TO GET RID1OF
 TIPPING EVILS
Nation Wide Association
 Will Be Formed to Fight Protested Custom.

Plans for incorporating "The Amer ican Anti Tipping Association'' having been practically completed, this bull letin is Issued to show that the oppo- sition to tipping justifies a formal movement to abolish the custom.
 Extract from proposed constitution
 'The purpose of this association shall be to promote genuine Ameri- canisrn, in which self-respect is the cornerstone. It shall seek by all law full means to abolish the custom of tipping and to substitute therefore a normal and legitimate system of com pensation. Membership shall be open to both sexes on equal terms
 Laws against tipping are now in force in six states: Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and South Carolina. Bills prohibiting or regulating tipping were introduced in the 1917 Legislatures of five states: West Virginia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Colorado and California.
 II. H. McGregor, chairman of the Texas Industrial Accident Board (Workmen's Compensation ruled that tips would not be iconidered as legiti- mate wages in determining compen- sation for injuries. A bell boy claim
 
 month, of which the hotel only paid him $20. The ruling held that the $60 in tips could not be considered as wages and based compensation solely on the wage paid by the hotel. The precedent is being followed by other State Workmen's Compensation Boards
 The Comptroller of the Treasufy at Washington has ruled that tips will not be allowed as legitimate expenses for officers and employees of the Uni ted States when traveIing on Govern ment business, in those state which have anti-tipping laws
 The W1cks Legislative Investigating Committee, of New York, revealed that tips and perquisites to janitors and other apartment house employees from milk, ice, food and other dealers, are an important factor in the high cost of living.
 The Department of the Interior, at Washington. reports that the guides in National parks, who openely solicit gratutities, are not government en- ployes but are provided by concession ers.
 The restaurant in the State Capitol, of Wisconsin, was operated on a. non- tip basis during the 1917 session. The Legislature in former session passed an anti-tipping measure which was vetoed by the Governor.
 The chief individual beneficiary of the tipping custom, The Pullman Company, in 1916 made $12,00O,00O profits, or 103 per cent. on it's very liberal capitalization of $120,000, 900. A majority of it's porters are paid $27.50 a month by the company, but tips brl09 their incomes in many in- stances to $100, $150 and $200 a month. If tips should be abolished and the company had to pay as low &s $60 month, it's wage account would be increased $2.500, ,000 annual ly. But this would still leave about p4s,ooesoo0 net profits, or around 8

NAPOLEON'S GREATEST
 MARSHAL

On the fourth of April, 1877, just hundred years ago today, one of the greatest of the soldiers of modern times, Andre Massena, Duke de Ri yoli, Prince of Essling, ana Marshal of France, breathed his last. Massena, a. man of very humble birth, was un- doubtedly the ablest soldier and greatest general of all Napoleon's s marshals, and the one military leader of the period who approached the Corsican himself in genius.
 The story of Massena's rise is one of those romances of history which are indeed stranger than fiction. He was born in Nice in 175s, and was of Jewish origin. His father, a. wine merchant of Nice, was very poor, and his business was so small that he was scarcely able to give his family enough to eat, much less provide his children with educational advantages Mas sena was early forced to leave home to earn a living, and became a cabin boy, but the sea did not appeal to him. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in regiment of Italians in the pay or France, and soor became a non-com- missioned officer. Finding that his humble birth and Jewish blood pre- cluded any hope of his obtaining a commission, he resigned from the army in 1789, and returned to Nice, where he married.
 The outbreak of the French revo- lution fired his military ardor anew, and he returned to sthe service, soon becoming colonel. He won the bat tie of Saorglio in 1794, and after sew eral other minor victories achieved the great victory of Loano in 1795. In Bonapartes campaigns of the follow ing two years he was the Corsican's ablest and most trusted general of di- vision, winning fresh laurels with each battle. At Rivoli he gained the crowning victory from which he af- rewards derived his title. In com mand of the army of Switzerland he again demonstrated that genius which caused Napoleon to call him 'enfant cheri de la victoire." If Mas sena had been ambitious for personal aggrandizement he might have made use of his popular fame to place himself at the head of the state, but he was sincerely attached to the re- public, and was devoid of that inn perial ambition which animated Napo- leon.
 Tn 1894 the great soldier was made one of the first marshals of France, and was decorated with the Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honor. After the peace of Pressburg, Massena took possession of Naples and placed Jos eph Bonaparte on the throne. He then proceeded to Poland, where he added to his fame, and, abandoning his republican ideas, accepted the title of Duke of Rivoli. At the battle of Essling he again covered himself with glory, and became Prince of Essling. At Wagram, too i'll to ride. Massena was placed in a carriage, and directed the movements of the right wing, maintining the glory of France.
 Scarcely a defeat had marred his record until he was sent to Spain with orders to "drive the English into the sea-" Except for the disobedience of New and other subordinates, success might again have crowned his efforts. As it was he checked, although he

MAKE PAPER OF GRASS

London, April 4.-Although several of the largest paper mills in England have been forced to shut down be- cause the governfent stopped the inn portation of pulpwood, many others managed to keep going by utilizing grass which they obtain from Scot land, the Fenlands and India. Print ing paper and notepaper, is being made from grass mixed with other materials. The cheapest fibre is ob- tained from rags which are no longer exported. Rag cuttings are now worth $140 a ton, which is still below .LLe cost of wood pulp, now selling for $150 a ton. It was $40 ton before the war

these States have cooperated with the

while some counties had an excess Of
cattle for sale, in others there were
many farmers who wished to buy

THE CANE CROP
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter.
The reports from the Louisiana
sugar district all point to a crop
disappointingly light in tonnage. AS
to the yield of sugar to be ex-
pected, an indication may be had
from the following analysis made on
October IL, at the Audubon Park
Experiment Station:
Louisiana Purple Cane: Brix 1873
polarization 81, purity Ga.
Louisiana 511 cane: Brix 1876,
polarization 14.4, purity 86.7.
These analyses were all of stub
BILE canes. The outstanding feature
OF them is the good showing made
by the Louisiana 511, the new seed
ling.
The U. S. Government, through
its able crop statistician at New Or
leans, Mr.. John S. Dennee, has is
sued his report on the condition of
the crop on the ground without con-
sidering the acreage.
The condition of the sugar cane
crop of Louisiana on October l, was
"a per cent of a normal, of full
crop, as compared with go per cent
on October 1, 1916, and 81 per cent,
the average on October /, of the
past ten years. The details are CIV
en- in our Louisiana News Letter and
vary from 2 per cent in West Ba-
tons Rouge to IS pei cent in St.
Charles and Vermillion and show the
effects of the long drought.
The weather during the past week
has been cool, with a light frost in
the upper parishes on the morning
of the 10th, all this having a ten
dency to ripen the cane, but check
ing its growth. Fall planting is in
full swing.
