This woman claims that instead of obtaining
increased strength and improved health as
she had with the true Nuxated Iron, she

SHALL WOMEN VOTE?"

The headline is the tile of an in
tersting book CT 345 pages written
by Conway White Sans, lawyer
of Norfolk, copy of which has been
sent to this office. The author says
his publication is not for women,
but men.
We have not had the time to study
the writer's argument closely, but
from curs@y examination we find
the book interesting and one which
should be read carefully ut this time
when many members of tic feminine
gender are demanding what they are
convinced is their natural right to
vote and have their say III the gov
eminent of thu world Many of their
arguments are logical and difficult tt
controvert, but Mr.. Sans book shows
we should heed the Old Roman
maxim, audi altram partem, or heal
the other side.
The writer is opposed to woman
suffrage, and, from his standpoint
he would have it appear that wome1

in legislation, but should be as Cor
nelia, Lucretia and others Of old.

"AND THE EARTH WAS FILLED
WITH VIOLENCE"

Tie words OF the book Of Genesis
describing conditions before the de-
luge, are used in the caption of this
article. The number o. asSasSina-
tions and murGers, when are multi
plying all the time, is attracting the
attention Of newspapers and sober
sided people generally. i1jman life
is becoming cheaper day by day, and
many thoughtful persons are becom-
ing anxious concerning the wave of
crime which is now common IN every
land -....---.-,-..-,.e
Two officers of the law were murd-
cred in Alexandria city snd county
in less than week.
A New York paper prints a list Of
thirteen murders in New York city
during January and February up to
the 25th instant. 1t classifes these
as ''murder mysteries some OF
those (which attracted ire greatest
attention and presented the most
difficulties in solving" 1t adds that
many other capital crimes nave been
committed during the past two
months in which the guilty persons
were apprehended at once. In the
year 1918 there were 215 murders in
New York city.
\ contemporary in commenting
upon these Startling facts, cXclaims
what an appalling record, 1t in
dictates the fact that human life is
very cheap in the great city. 1t
would he interesting TO know whether
any of this slaughter is due to fail
urc by the courts to administer JUS
tee. Undoubtedly the police have
failed TO discover and arrest the
muricrers Another question is does
the death penalty deter murder
mere eff'ectually than imprisonment.
Il vii! be recalled that the aSSassi-
nation OF the Empress Of Austria
took place in Italy, where the death
penalty is not inflicted, and the at
tempt on the life Of NJ. Roosevelt
was made in Il State where the death
penalty had been abolisne,. There
was reason to Hcl:eve tha: in both
these eases tn. aSsailants selected
the place OF attack because they
knew they would not be rsking their
lives there.
Enthusiastically punishment swiftly
following the tfense is more efficient
in lettering crime and impressing
the public than punishment which is
so long delayed that public interest
has cooled. One Of the arguments
that have been advanced by those OPP
posed to the death penalty IS that so
many juries are reluctan. to condemn
Il man to death, that many guilty
