Equal Suffrage

Those who heard William Dudley Foulke
speak in reminiscent mood on fifty years of the
suffrage movement will agree with his concu-
sion that woman is standing in the dawn of new
morning and that nothing can check her progress.
In the retrospect, the equal suffrage movement
prompts one to wonder why years of bitter argu-
ment were necessary before men granted women
the right to vote, and especially SO, since the
privilege was recklessly offered to every alien
who could qualify.
1t was natural that some suffrage leaders,
peeved at the inconsistency of legislators and the
perversity of their reasoning abilities, INDUCED
in manifestations Of radicalism not quite consist
ent with the gentle qualities that differentiate
women from men, But let us remember that
when men were struggling for their rights they
used force to obtain them. No tyrant ever grant
ed concession unless it was wrested from him
by force. And SO, even if some suffrage advo-

miles of road at total estimated cost of $15,120-
I'll and on which federal aid in the amount of

during any month since the passage Of the federal
aid road act.
During the month there were executed by the
secretary and the several state highway depart
ments 81 project agreements, involving the i'm
provement of 667.71 miles of road at total est-
mated cost of 81 992, 1857 25, and on which $780,

The country as a whole rejoices that the
Susan B. Anthony amendment was passed The
methods of some of it's advocates can be forgot
ten without an effort. Women of America have
been entitled to suffrage ever since the nation
was founded, even if it was denied them by
statute. The legislatures might just as well
ratify the amendment in quick order, for the day
is far gone when American women will contented-

When Did Pioneers
Try to Start Silk
Industry Here?

Perhaps the strangest business ever
started in Wayne county ~as that of
silk worm culture and silk manufac-
ture, which grew to craze, flourish
ed and died all in the shcrt space of
q few years after 1s4o.
An Englishman named Fox, who
lived here, suggested the addition of
the culture and manufacture OF silk
to the already large list of industries
which were aourishing in the pioneer
town. Machinery for reeling, spin
ming and weaving silk was ordered,
as well as thousands of eggs from
Newport, Ky.
Everybody learned the slang of the
business, and the worms were the
topic of conversation all over town.
The eggs Matched the next spring, but
the young worms showed at once that
they were not suited for life here.
Thousands of them, accustomed to
feeding on mulberry leaves, died be-
fore the common mulberry leaves
came out in the spring. Rats, mice
and ants proved terrible enemies, and
a cold draft of air or a thunderstorm
would cause the worms to leave their
weaving places in great numbers.
Unknown disease swept through the
colonies, killing them by thousands.
Not enough silk was made the first
year to keep the machinery from rust
ing. The next year, the Norris Null
tieaulis, the tree which promised to
solve the question of food, was i'm
ported, and almost as great craze
started over it as over the worms.
Three acres in Happy Hollow and
eight acres on the farm of Jonathan
Roberts, were devoted to raising the
trees. The inevitable depression fol-
lowed this craze for raising the Nor
ris Multicaulis, and the experiment
was still a failure after the second
season
The next year determined effort
was made for success. Cocooneries
were built up in Happy Hollow and
another place and the crop of worms
was better. Goods were actually
manufactured in paying quantities,
and many were so we'll made that
they took the place of currency. A
finely wrought silk handkerchief was
presented to Henry Clay on the oc-
casion of his famous visit here, by
daughter of Isaac E. Jones'
The factory was in existence for
several years afterwards, run by the
elder Fox, who first proposed the ex-
pertinent, and his two sons But it
was never success, and in 1855 the
machinery was sold to Isaac E. Jones
and moved to Newport, KY, thus end
ing one of the strangest commercial
adventures Richmond ever exDeri-
eneed.

Supporting the Day Nursery

The generous response by citizens to the ap-
peals of the Day Nursery indicates knowledge
of the excellent social work which this institu-
tion does. The care of children while their par
ents are at work offers an almost unlimited field
for development.
The report of the institution shows that par
ents are taking advantage of its opportunities in
increasingly large numbers, while the training re-
ceived by the little will be reflected in their
citizenship later Too much cannot be done for
the child in the plastic years of it's development.
The Day Nursery has justified its right to
exist and the SLIGO contributed last Saturday
will enable it to continue its ministrations of
benevolence.

Will Collect State War Songs and Poems

Indiana enhanced her reputation as the home
of poets and song writers during the storm and
stress Of the World War. The American fighting
men found more spirit and sentiment in the pro-
ductions Of the Hoosier poets than those Of other
states. Long Boy, Service Flag, Mother is
Doing Her Bit, and many others were recited
and sung with fervor wherever the Yankee fight
ers congregated on the western front.
Hundreds of other war poems and songs
whose influence never spread beyond the confines
Fof the community in which they were written
and published were effective in fostering and
stimulating the morale of the folks back home y
The Indiana Historical commission has an
nounced that it will collect war songs and war
poems written by Indiana authors to preserve
them in the permanent records of the state.
William Herschell, author of many war poems
and songs, has been appointed chairman of the
committee which will make the collection.
Newspapers and local war history committees
are urged to forward to Mr. Herschell, care of the
Indianapolis News, copies of all the poems and
songs written by the people in their county, ded-
Gated to any phase of the World War.
Wayne countys poets contributed many Sc
lections all phases of the war Authors will
be conforming to wish of the Indiana Historical
commission by sending copies of their poems to
Mr. Herschell or to the Palladium, which will see
that they are forwarded to Indianapolis.

dor to the United States. He had been
absent from Washington for a month
Many OF the murderers Of Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico have been exc
cuted for their crimes. he reported.
This report is not substantiated by
any statement by the STATE Depart
ment to the effect that Mexi-an BAN
dts have paid the penalty for their
crimes against American lives and
property.
Mr.. Bonillas declared the Mexican
government has no intention of con-
fiscating the property Of any resi-
dents there. Concerning the reported
seizures of oil lands, he declared: All
that the Mexican government desires
is to derive a revenue from this treat
natural wealth. which, previous to
the establishment of a stable govern
ment, flowed out of the country with
out giving any benefits whatever,
save to the labor employed"
The ambassador was optimistic
over the future of his country. He
said he would ask the United states
to permit the sale of guns. ammuni-
tiOn. and supplies to Mexico, and
would renew his requests for the pur-
chase of airplanes.
