Charleston, w. Va, Oct 6.-The all.

Tor Senator Warren G. Harding for
President, is opposed to the League Of
Nations, and is simply using the Nom
partisan League now with the hope of
getting control of the Republican Or

These statements Montgomery can

That Montgomery puts his Republic
anism above everything else, even the
welfare Of the union workmen who

which nominated him after he han
been defeated for the regular Repub-

Votes For Women.

The women of the United States are
completely enfranchised. Tennessee,
one Of the few Southern States that have
favored the nineteenth amendment,
gave it the single needed ratification.
and, although the antisuffragists in
tend to contest the Legality of that ae-
ton, no one seriously believes that the
Supreme Court will accept their view
of the situation.
The movement thus crowned With
success is generally traced back to
1913, VIII the wman's rights Dn-
vention called by Lucretis Mott and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton met at Seneca
Falls, New York. But it really began
two hundred years before that. 1t is
fair to say that Mistress Margaret
Brent sowed the frst seed OF it when
in l647 she demanded a seat in the
legislature OF Maryland as the heir to
the great Calvert properties-unless
we find it implied still earlier in the
struggles Of Anne Hutchinson with the
Puritan theocracy. AT the time OF the
Revolution, TOO, Abigail Adams, wife
OF our second President and mother OF
our sixth President, wrote to her hus-
band-hali playfully, no doubt-that
women must be fairly dealt with in the
new laws, else they would refuse to be
bound by q code in the making OF
which they had had no voice.
The Seneca Falls convention, how
ever, marks the first organization Of
the equal suifragists. From that time
the movement has grown steadily and
in late years rapidly. 1t was 1869 be-
fore the National Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION was formed under the presi-
dency OF Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Six
years later Susan B. Anthony drafted
q proposed constitutional amendment,
which she finally got presented to Con-
gress. That amendment, without the
change Of word, has now, almost half
4 century later, been adopted.
1t is undeniably true that the war
has FASTENED equal suffrage, both by
giving women an opportunity to dis
play their usefulness in public and
semipublic station. and by so far up
setting the traditions OF the past as to
make any constitutional change what
ever more likely to succeed. But it
i, no less true that the movement wa.
clearly on it, way to victory before the
war began. 1t drew vitality and
strength from the devotion Of it.
early leaders, energy and aggressive
ness from those of a later generation
The women Jamestown that they have
plenty of political skill; the oppor-
tunity will soon be theirs to show that
they can use their new privilege wisely
and observation-disclosures Com
panion.

Curious Facts About Money.

While books of reference will Say
that the first actual coming OF money
was by Pheidon, king Of Argos, in SOS
B. c., it must not be supposed that
there had not existed keen apprecia-
ton of the value and uses OF money
for centuries previous to the introduc-
thion OF coinage. The ancient Egyp-
tians had a gold and silver standard OF
currency, and their money was in the
form OF gold and silver ornaments.
rings and nuggets, the value Of which
depended upon weight.
The Greeks improved upon this by
marking the weight upon the gold and
the silver nuggets, so that it would
not be necessary to weigh them at
every place. Next came the gold,
silver and copper nuggets Of graded
uniform sizes and value. After that
there was the molding and stamping
Of disk, made from the precious
metals.
Some OF the first coins we're enor-
nous, the idea apparently being to dis
courage the greedy from attempting to
accumulate and carry around too
many OF them. There were copp II
coin. a, large as dinner plates. Thi,
inconvenient style had to give way 20
the demand for smaller and more con-
venient forms Of currency, and the
giant pennies soon dwindled in size to
meet the popular demand.
The earliest trace Of the use 81 gol
as money is to be found in the picthr,.
Of the ancient Egyptians weighing in
scales heaps OF rings Of the precious
metal. But there is no actual record
that these rings were known a. coins
with fixed value.
Iron, according to Aristotle, was
once extensively employed as cur
rency. Lead has also served as money
in fact, it still does in Burma. Cop.
per has been more widely employ
ed as money than either OF the two last
mentioned metals. The Hebrew col 5
were composed chiefly Of it, while
down to 269 B. c., the sole Roman
coinage was an alloy OF copper.
Tin money was once used in Eng.
land, probably on account Of The rich
tin mines in Cornwall Early Eng.
fish coinages contained much OF this
tin money, principally in the form Of
farthings and half-pence.
Silver formed the basis for the early
Greek coins, and was used in Rome
first in 269 B. C. Medieval money
was first composed Of silver.
The Swiss people were the first to
date their coinage. They introduced
the dated coin four hundred years ago
and the style was adopted in all coun-
tries in very short time.
The coin OF the smallest value ever
issued is the mite" .o-called, such as
the widow OF the Bible contributed n
the poor. Its shape was hexagonal
and its value about one-nftieth OF =
cent. 1t would take five thousand
mites to make one American dollsr.

Is devoted to boosting Harding and
knocking the National Democratic ad-
ministrIton.
Stronger evidence OF the lead OF Cox
and koontZ In the state than the petu-
liar Republican plan OF campaign, how
ever, has been received at Democrat tic
state headquarters in reports from
Democratic leaders throughout the
state, and this also Is Indicated by the
enthusiasm and big crowds at the DEM
ocratic meetings being held daily.
Immediately following the brief visit
or Senator Harding to the state last
week to cheer up the discouraged
2. o. p. OF the Panhandle and OHIO
river sections. the Democratic cause
was presented to those sections as well
as the central part of the state by
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, Democratic
nominee for Vice President; by Mr..
koontZ, the nominee for Governor,
and by Mrs. Izetta Brown, of King
wood, recognized as one of the most
effective Democratic speakers in the
country.
Information at state headquarters
from all over the state shows conclu-
sively that the Democratic campaign
up To the present time, both in the
organization OF men and women and
in the presentation OF the issues BY
speakers, has been fifty per cent more
effective than the Republican cam
paign, and 1t will be more aggressive
in the future than 1T has been in the
past.

wild birds should be supplemented bv
