NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 1S.-
Ratification of the Federal Suffrage
Amendment was completed today
through favorable actien by the Ten
nessee house. The vote was 80 TO a..
The Senate ratified the amendment
last Friday by a vote of % TO 4.
Speaker Walker in an attempt to
have the action reconsidered changed
his vose to aye and moved that such
action be taken. Walkers change OF
his vote gave ratification a majority
of so to 46
Walker is privileged to call up the
resolution for reconsideration at any
time within the next two days. Ad-
journment was taken until 10 o'clock
tomorrow.
17.0OO,OO0 Women May Vote
Tennessee today became the 36th
state to ratify the Susan b. Anthony
Federal Suffrage Amendment. The
constitutional change thus will be-
come effective in time for the H.
100000 women of the country to vote
in the Presidential election in No
vember unless the lower house re-
sends its action of today
Speaker Walker. leader of the Anti
Suffragists, put opponents in a posi-
ton to demand reconsideration by
changing his vote from nay to aye,
and moving to reconsider. The house
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow
when the Speakers motion will have
the right OF way.
Rivals Fought TO Last
Suffrage and Anti-Sunragist forces
frightened their lines this afternoon
for the final fight and both sides were
claiming a victory.
The suffragists, however, had the
advantage of todays victory and ex-
pressed confidence that Speaker
Walkers motion would be voted down
tomorrow.
The next step in ratification would
then be the certifying OF the action
OF the Tennessee assembly TO the
Secretary of State of the United
States, who upon its receipt would
| issue a proclamation declaring the
amendment ratified.
Would Have Another State
Suffrage leaders declared they will
not slacken their efforts as they de-
sire TO have at least one other state
ratify before the November election
as they expect fight to be made
against Tennessee's action because OF
the clause in the state constitution
which prohibits any assembly from
action on an amendment not submit
ted before the members were elected.
Both United States Solicitor-Gen-
eral Frierson and the Attorney-Gen-
oral of Tennessee have declared this
clause to be unconstitutional in the
light OF the recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the Ohio referen-
dunn case.

THE stone walls of the White
i House no more shut Lincoln in
from his fellows. from their hopes
and SORROWS and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in the cabin home Of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was In q
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed In
surprise: HE Is a very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answered:
"Friend. the Lord prefers common
looking people. That Is the reason he
makes so many Of them"
Lincoln liked people. and he always
kept In touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word OF politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
As he finished his daily wrestle with
senator's and the big-wigs. he plunged
with zest Into what he called his pub

with one leg thrown over Its arm. he

said to every one what he said In a
speech to a regiment: II happen tenn

In the balloting for its candidate for
Vice president In 1856. and its candi-
date for senator In 1858 against Ste
phen A. Douglas, the author of the re-
peal.
While Lincoln made ready for that
campaign, as always in every hour OF
decision, he retired within himself. He
consulted no n and gave no hint Of
his line OF attack until he called to-
gether a dozen friends and read to
them his opening speech, which began
with those immortal words: "A house
divided against itself cannot stand. I
believe that this government cannot
endure permanently half slave and

ON TRACK or VAST TREASURE
Circumstances Indicate Probability
That Vast Hoards Of the Monaols
Has Been Discovered.

Whether Asia's most famous treas
ure-hoard, the concealed valuables OF
the Mongols, has been found, is still a
mys@y to those who have dreamed OF
finding the precious relies of kings and
emperors hidden somewhere in the
ruins of the cities of central Asia. Re-
cent reports that some of the jewels
and goldwork of the Mongols have
reached India confirm the belief that
the treasure-hoard has been ransacked
at last.
Five hundred years ago the desert
was green and temples and luxurious
palaces adorned central and southern
Asia. often called the tomb of lost
millions" The Mongols, the most for
midable of the tribes at that time. raw
aged eastern and central Europe In
the thirteenth century, and carried
their loot with them. Wits the pas
sage of the tribe the great secret to
explorers mas been the place of their
hidden treasure.
Some years ago two men In Yar-

workmanship, and 1t Is believed they
had come upon the tomb of the treas
ures. 1t was then that an adventur-
Gus Rnglishman, 81. Spaulding, called
them to him and set out to further
explore the treasure region. 1t was
reported that he had penetrated the re-
gion. but that he had been slain on
making his getaway. The appearance
of some OF the ancient relics in India
recently is believed to indicate that
SpauIding was robbed and that the
treasures are slowly being sold by his
asSailants.
