EVANSVILLE

F. B. Green returned the last of the
week from Fort Morgan, Colo, where
he had been with three cars of Hol-
stems which he sold at good prices.
While there he took orders for five car
loads more which he will buy and ship
as soon as possible. There is big de-
mand for Holsteins in the West.
Word was received in this city Mon
day of the death of DR.. Carl G. Stew
ems at his home in Iron Mountain,
Mich, Sept. 80. The deceased was a
son of the late David Stevens, who was
one of the earliest settlers in Evans
vile, and was raised and educated in
this city The health of the deceased
had not been good for the past year
and he finally succumbed 20 a severe
attack of pneumonia

BAVARIANS NOW WANT PEACE
officer Says His Country Has Done
Enough for King of
Prussia.

Washington, Oct. "A dispatch
from Switzerland says the Germans
have withdrawn troops posted along
tbe Swiss frontier and replaced them.
Thev were from the Bavarian land
strum. whose laxity has permitted
hundreds of deserters to reach the
Swiss outposts. A Bavarian officer is
ouoted as declaring the German
morale is very low, and that his coun-
try has done quite enough fighting for
the king of Prussia.

"She Stops to Conquer"

"She Stops to Conquer" grew out
of an incident that occurred in Gold
smiths travels about Ireland. He
found himself one night far from home
and inquiring the way to an inn, some
wag directed him to a gentleman's
private residence. There he went, or
dered out his horse, demanded the best
supper the place afforded and gener-
ally gave himself airs. He did not
discover his mistake until the next
morning when he was about to pay
his bill.

seasheIIs Instead Of Glass.

One curious thing noted by Ameri-
cans in the Philippines was the use by
natives of seashells in lieu of window
glass. There is bivalve mollusk ma
tive to the waters of that part of the
world, which has a shell seven or eight
inches in diameter, so thin as to be
transparent. 1t is plentiful and costs
nothing. Glass is expensive.

or course, the fact that she has to
die In order to make this one act effec-
tive rather lessons her satisfaction.
Then, too, there is Article 80 of the
code, which reads:
AS the law considers marriage in no
other way than that of civil contract.
1T sanctions all those marriages where
the parties at the time were willing to
contract and did contract according to
the forms and solemnities prescribed by
law"
But the contract was manifestly uni
lateral, since Article "a says:
Laws, or account of the difference
of sexes, have established between men
and women essential differences with
respect to civil, social and political
rights
Article 1882 continues:
"All persons have the capacity to
contract except those whose incapacity
is specially declared by law. These are
persons of insane mind, those who vare
lnterdicted and married women"
1T is of record that suit was tried
before a judge of the Civil District
Court where both plaintiff and defend
ant were women and all of the wit
nesses were women. The judge, at the
close OF the case, entered a judgment Of
non-suit,. saying that there had been
nothing before the court
When what is known as family
meeting" is convened for the purpose Of
disposing OF the property of minor it
is expressly stipulated by the code that
only male relatives" may be called.
When suit is brought in Louisiana
by q married woman she must be au-
thorized by her husband to sue and
stand in Judgment, and to sue married
woman without citing her husband
would not be allowed.
Not only must the husband appear
and authorize his wife to purchase real
estate, but if property is left to her and
Tor any reason she does not wish to ac-
ccept it ne may appear and accept for
her.
In the cities of Louisiana and in the

is something that is greatly disturbing
her it will do her no good. Often we find
that there is a condition back of the

we can render really useful help. This is
why the social service work is SO impor-
tant to US. 1t is the aim of the New

you is that you are ignorant on the
subject" averred Roosevelt. "I'll
send you some books. Read them
and you may change your mind"
Some days later an express wagon
drove up to Mr.. Bok's residence in
Merton and began unloading long,
heavy boxes. 1t appeared to the
editor that some eXcavating eXpedi-
ton in Palestine had been favoring
him with specimens of its finds.
The boxes, however, happened to be
filled with the some books" to which
Roosevelt had referred. Mr.. Box
began a course in reading. He was
amazed to discover that each VOL
ume had within it indisputabIe evil
dence of having been gone over
carefully by the eX-President. There
were authoritative analyses of sui
frage in the Scandinavian states. in
New Zealand, everywhere ON earth
that the experiment had been tried.
What had happened to Roosevelt
now happened to Mr.. Box. He also
became a convert. 1t is Il pity that
the same selection of volumes cam
not be read now by busy Senator'S.
though there should be no need OF
it. so much more convincing have
suffrage arguments since become.
The unanswerable one is that the
Huns plan TO turn back the hands
of the clock has as u fundamental
feature the driving back Of woman
to the position she occupied thou
sand years ago. The hands cannot
be turned forward unless woman
goes forward with them.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-11-03

South Dakota is a FIRST paper state
which means that any immigrant
within a short time after registering his
intention to become naturalized can
voice his wishes by way of the ballot.
So the suffrage clause is combined here
with citizenship amendment in an eff
fort to make the representation at the
polls of South Dakota 100 per cent
American.
Oklahoma presents unusual difficulty.
An amendment to its constitution must
receive majority of the largest num-
Der of votes cast for any candidate or
measure at the election. Suffragists
here realize the air ost insurmountable
obstacles involved, but put high faith
in the fact that Oklahoma is whole
heartedly back Of the President-and
the Presidents attitude on suffrage is
we'll known.
In Louisiana, the first Southern state
to have referendum on this question,
the measure which is to be voted on
next Tuesday has the backing Of the
Governor and other men of prominence.
President Wilson, too, has written urg-
ing the passage of the amendment.
Arkansas has already adopted pri-
mary suffrage, which in a state univer-
sally Democratic in its sentiment means
practically all that full suffrage means.
