tlal election while these other states
are voting their full strength
Suffrage has been granted to the
women of nearly all civilized countries.
The United States Is the only great
nation inhabited by English speaking
people which has not already granted
suffrage by national act to its women.
Great Britain, England, Ireland, Scot
land, Wales, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand have all granted full
political rights to their women. There
is no question that the United States
will eventually be as fair to her
women.
The only question now before the
legislators of Kentucky is whether
they prefer to delay or to speed up the
process Of doing justice to American
women. In all likelihood the Federal
Suffrage Amendment will be ratified
by the necessary SO states even should
Kentucky fail to take advantage of her
opportunity to ratify Were 1t posi-
BILE for Kentucky legislators by re-
dictionary policy to defeat the Amend
ment, and insist that the women mus
get suffrage by the states rights route
all they could do would be to increase
the labors and prolong the efforts Of
Kentucky women, many of whom have
already labored for the greater part o.
their adult life to get the men Of Ken
lucky to grant them suffrage by the
states rights route.
Gentlemen, save your own time anc

SOUTH AGAINST SUFFRAGE

Washington.-Now that the new Re
publican House and Senate have pass
ed the constitutional amendment
granting the suffrage to women ON the
same conditions as to men, 1t Is fear
ed that the cause will be temporarily
lost in the rock ribbed Southern
states.
In Georgia q test vote on accepting
a test vote on ratification revealed a
81 to 10 majority against It. In the
House the proportion is said to be
much greater. In Alabama the suf-
fragists have made spirited hght, but
a poll has shown that ~ out of SO are
against the amendment. The Virginia
legislature meets in August, and It is
feared that conservative opinion there,
which has steadily voted the Demo-
cratic ticket since the days of Andrew
jackson, and which has long advo-
Gated the grandfather clause by which
negroes have been excluded from the
ballot, will exercise It's authority and
reject the amendment. In the re-
mainder of the Southern states are to
be found, according to the claims of
the Democratic members of the House
and Senate from there, who have 80
persistently fought the suffrage
amendment in Congress, the votes TO
prevent ratification,

have declined to stand in courts and palaces:
but less than 2OOO years ago when the peo-
pies were at peace with themselves and the
world great civilization had long been
born and existed. An old Arab writer said
this about Africa: ''Ie who had not seen
Cairo, hath not seen the world; it's soil
is gold it's Nile a wonder, it's houses are
palaces, and it's air is soft; it's odor sur
passing that of alOes wood, and cheering
the heart.' When the tributaries of the
BlueNile and Atbara were traced to the
highlands Of Abyssinia, the mystery of the
rise of the Nile and it's fertilizing soil was
solved, The torrents Of tropical rain tear
down the earth from the gorges and cliffs,
and the muddy water rushes down through
Nubia over the chains Of cataracts to the
almost level land along the course from AS
sllan to the sea. 1t means famine if the
Nile rises too little or too much
But above all Africa has given to the
New World more realities than all the other
continents that had been discovered long
before. The black man today is not an
experiment on this side of the world. What
is known Of him has not been duly credited
to him. but within the next few years Africa
will be explored by black men. Then the
history Of Africa will be given to the world
as it is.
Next will be treated the Slave traffic and
how it started; men who helped to over
throw it's progress.

BLACK MAN AND AFRICA
BY F.. G.. Douglas

Africa is large, rough shaped compact
of land three times the size of Europe, with
a fifth of it's surface covered with the
largest deserts in the world. Brimming
rivers. with courses Of from one to three
thousand Of miles, plunge down the ter
raced steps to join the sea: mountains guard
the coast everywhere with snowy peaks on
the east side looking down on most Won
derful group of great lakes. Such is the
face of Africa.
The burning sun. travelling overhead
some part Of the year in the greater
part Of Africa. looks down on millions of
black and brown men-Negroes and others
on millions of Arabs. on an ever-increas-
ing number of white men from Europe. The
Arabs from the other side of the Red Sea
found their way to Africa at various times
through the centuries, down the coast, over

desert and plain, over rivers and mountains
all over the land. Their coming brought
woe to the black men. The white men did
not begln to come, except to the coasts
within hail of Europe, till nearly the time
or Columbus; and their coming also brought
woe to the black men. The sorrow of
Africa can be summed up in three words:
slaves, ivory, rubber.
In the Oldest maps, made by those who
lived on the Mediterranean nearly 1000
years ago. all that is shown of Africa is
the north and northwestern shores and the
narrow strip of the land of Egypt in the
northeast corner. near the Isthmus of Suez
This neck of land joining Africa to Asia
was, in the past, the great highway of the
nations from east to west. Over it passed
multitudes of people, armies for conquest
embassies from great kings, merchants who
went to and fro between Egypt and the
East.
The secrets of Africa were buried for
many centuries. Of all the sOrrowful ones
that explorers have found the saddest are
the hard trodden paths across Africa trod
den for centuries by the feet Of gangs Of
miserable slaves, torn from their homes,
which were often lake dwellings for safe
ty. Sometimes they would carry ivory to
the coast, but for them three was not any
return. Many of the travellers are held
in remembrance by the names Of places
on the map; this marks the white mans
progress across unknown Africa
Our country is known now; it's southern
tip points to the South Pole; round the gulf
of Guinea it faces westward; it's eastern
horn points to India. Here on the north
eastern stretch it is divided from Asia only
by the Gulf of Alden and the Red Sea,
which pilgrims cross on their way to Mecca.
The hills that rise from the sun-scorched
Sahara are higher than any mountains in
the great Appalachian range. The Atlas
Mountains, opposite Spain. are as high as
the Swiss Mountains, with fine valleys and
lovely scenery The Abyssnian highlands,
southwest of the Red Sea, consist Of high
and rugged mountains, with deep, dark ra
vines between. South Of the Abyssinan
heights rise the twin giants OF Africa, Kill
maniaro and Kenia, both close to the Equ-
atOr.
Abyssnia is an independent State that
has had many passages at arms with Eur
opean nations The hardy mountaineers
adopted Christianity in early times. Next
we will see that Italy stands in the way OF
the Abyssinians by cutting off this great
country from the Red Sea. Now the country
is practically surrounded by Italy and Eng
land, with no ports on the Red Sea nor the
Alden Gulf but the rivers that drain the
land. Blue Nile and the Atbara.
When Britain was barbarous outlying
nation. the peoples of Africa had long been
the centre of the world. But today we may
