Florida Equal Suffrage Association
Denounees All Militant Tactics


At recent meeting of the execu-
tive board of the Florida Equal Suf-
frage Association held in Jacksonville,
the following statement was issued
denouncing the militant tactics of the
woman's party, and setting forth
clearly the fact that the Florida
Equal Suffrage Association, which is
a branch of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, has no
connection whatever with the militant
party.
The complete statement follows:
Because the militant tactics of
the woman's party continually cause =
misunderstanding of the constructive
policy of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. of which
the Florida Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton is branch, the executive board
of the Florida E. S. A. has issued the
following statement:
'"There is absolutely no utilization
between these two organizations.
"The woman's party believes ir1
working for the enfranchisement of
women only through the federal Con-
gress. It's policy is TO hold the ma
jority party in Congress responsible
for federal action on woman suffrage,
and to force its claims to recognition
by militant and other methods used
against the entire party when such
recognition is not given
"The National American Woman
Suffrage Association is working for
the suffrage by both state constitu-
tional and legislative action; and
through the federal Congress as we'll
''It is not partisan in policy but ex-
poets that suffrage will be granted to
women by men of both parties who
believe in democracy and justice. 1t
does not hold the party responsible,
but holds the individual absolutely so.
1t uses only the peaceful method OF
educating public opinion. and creating
a public sentiment which proves more
formidable to the man who obstructs
the establishing of a real democracy
in the United States than militancy
possibly could.
cit is constructive in its work,
standing for sincerity in government
al thought and action; and for the
safeguarding of home interests which
is fundamental to the life of the state
and nation.
"The National Woman's Suffrage
Association, of which the Florida E.
S. A. is branch, has two million
members with affiliated organizations
in every state in the Union. 1t is
working for the ballot because the
ballot is civilizations recognized
means, the most effective yet evolved
for protecting personal, home and
business interests; for eliminating the
need for resort to militancy in order
to obtain what is wanted by any
class.
''The association protests against
the use of militant tactics by suffrage
organizations or individuals, az being
un-American and unnecessary under
our form of government. No organi-
cation practicing such methods is con-
nected with It."

view as wei la sthe mans.
5. Because laws affecting the home
are acted on in every session OF the

6. Because women have exper-

AERIAL BATTLESHIPS
TO BE NEXT INNOVATION

LONDON, April 16 (by Associated
Press) Aerial battleships' would
have been developed if the war con.
tinued another year, declares Lord
Weir, the British minister of air
forces. Just before the armistice,
aviators were successfully using guns
which fired shells instead of bullets.
Lord Weir said that aerial photo
graphy had been SO developed that &C
CITRATE photographs of the earth were
taken from an altitude of four miles.
In all, six million such pictures had
been prepared by the Royal Air
Forces. The speed of fighting air
planes had been increased from 80 to
al miles an hour and the engine
power from 80 to 800 horsepower.

HISTORIC EPISTLE FOR
MUSEUM IN SCOTLAND

LONDON, March 10 (by maiD y
The national art collection fund has
loaned to the Royal Scottish museum
in Edinburgh, pending it's final dis
position, the last letter of Mary,
Queen of Scots, addressed to her
brother-in-law, Henry III of France,
and written the night before her
execution.
This letter was acquired from the
Morrison collection by a number OF
persons FOR presentation to the Scot
fish people. 1t is in a perfect state
of preservation, and beautiful speci-
men Of caligraphy.
In the letter, Queen Mary told King
Henry that having passed nearly
twenty years in the captivity OF
Queen Elizabeth, she had at last been
condemned to death and had been
ordered to be executed as criminal
at o'clock the following morning.
She commended her son to Henry's

gent necessity. They have great ex-
pectations of the American war trade
board in this respect and point out
that the well-organized Siberian
cooperative associations could easily
attend to the distribution.
The things imperative for the
salvation and reorganization Of Russia
are placed in this order: First, peace
and order; second, efficient operation
of the railroads under the direction
Of John F. Stevens, the American
expert; third, the economic rehabili-
tatjon of the country by the concerted
help of the powers. These things at

first great nations to recover from
the war on account of her great and,
as yet, entirely undeveloped resources.

B0LSHEVIK TROOPS
ARE PAID BY HOUR

LONDON, April 16 (by Associated
Press) Many troops of the Red
army in eastern Russia have adopted
trade union methods in dealing with
their Bolshevik superiors. They
demand fixed pay for each hour of
fighting and this, according to official
reports to the British government, at
times amounts to 20 rubles an hour.
The Red army in that territory is
composed of Germans, Films, Chinese,
Poles and recruits from the semi
civilized provinces of eastern Russia.
Many of the officers are Germans
Others are Russians pressed into
service. Every order given by an
officer is reported to the commissary
and any mistake is punishable by
death.

BUSINESS IN
SIBERIA IS IN
j. BAD STATE

OMSK, Siberia, Feb. II (Corres.
pondence of the Associated Press).-
Discrimination of the peasant and the
hnntsman to part with the products
cannot buy needed manufactured
articles with the money he would
obtain therefor, is one of the chief
causes of the commercial stagnatiOn
in Russia today. Clothing, boots,
socks, tools, machinery, necessities
for his household he fain would
acquire, but even a pile of rubles will
not bring them to his door. They do
not exist in Siberia. So the peasant
keeps his wheat and other cereals
and the hunter stores the furs and
skins. Money has lost it's value here.
Fluctuation of the Russian ruble,
and the difficulty and cost encount-
cred by the tradesman in getting his
goods to market, have reduced COM
merce to a minimum. The merchant
will not run the risks involved with
out expecting big profits and this has
caused manufactured commodities to
soar in price.
Another important factor is feeling.
Several merchants who have been
doing business in Russia informed
that the habit Of tipping, (bribing
they called it, was increasing. One
foreign merchant who sends goods to
Omsk said:
"When I forward a carload of mer-
chandise from Hardin or Vladivostok
] don't know in the first place,
whether it will ever arrive with the
railroad conditions as they are. l
must send representative with the
car to pay out money on the way to
officials and employees. Otherwise my
car will be sidetracked. That is the
great evil of Russia today. Business
has developed into speculation.
Before the war Siberian wheat was
worth about 10 cents per eight
pounds today it is sold for the
normal equivalent of about 81. That
shows how prices have jumped. -.
All authorities agreed that the
arrival of manufactured articles in
Siberia and central Russia is an ur-

URSULA.

The ancient Romans were appar-
emily fond of wolves and bears: at
least. many Of the masculine and
feminine names originating from
them. were derived from their
terms for animals. One Of these is
Ursula, which comes from the Ro-
man Ursus, meaning bear.
Ursus, as a proper name was
popular in early times among semi
Romans and Gallo bishops. But it
was perhaps some allHsion to the
Pole-star which made Ursula, (lit-
tie bear) furnish the name Of the
heroine Of the curious legend Of
Cologne, that the Breton maiden,
who, on her way to her betrothed
British husband, was shipwrecked
on the German coast. and slain by
Attila. King Of the Huns, with H.
600 virgin companions. The skulls
of the maidens are shown 1t Co
logne, and their princess name has
been followed by noble ladies'.
Tho Irish word Mahon. also signi-
fies bear and hence some Of the
MacMahons Of Ireland have turned
themselves into Fitz Ursulas. The
popularity Of the name has spread
