but he has apparently failed to ap- preciate that upon the passage of that amendment it would be the su- preme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitu- tion or laws of any state to the con- trary notwithstanding. See Consti- tuition of the United States.
 ''I have read with pleasure that admirable statement of the situation made by Francis W. Cole in answer to the Governors contention and 1t appears to me that his opinion is as sound as the statement emanating from the Governors office. #
 Personally it seems to me that the recalcitrant attitude of the pres ent governor of the State of Connec- ticut in refusing to call special session of the legislature for the purpose of acting upon the federal suffrage amendment to the Consti- tuition of the United States should be regarded with disfavor by all forward looking citizens.
 At any rate this movement has gone so far that it should not be halted by the attitude of our present leaders, many of whom are members of the old school. I am inclined to believe that this problem is one of considerable political consequence to the republican party at this time not only in the state but throughout the nation at large and that the party will suffer unless the proper action is taken with regard to this matter"
 Harrison B. Freeman, of Hartford says in part: .....
 "The statement issued on behalf of Governor Holcomb that the wom- en would not have the right to vote in Connecticut after the ratification of the Suffrage Amendment to the United States Constitution, except for Presidential electors and U. S. Senators and Congressman, until the State Constitution has also been amended by action of the electors of this State is contrary to the decisions of the U. s. Supreme Court and against all the precedents. established when the 18th Amendment, giving suffrage to the negro, was adopted. "This Amendment needed no State action to make it effective and the negro received the ballot in all states of the Union, including Con- necticut, as soon as the Amendment was ratified, and many years before the State Constitutions were changed to conform to it.
 "The Federal Suffrage Amend ment provides that The right of citi- zens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.' If ratified by thir- ty-six states it needs no amendment to State Constitution to make it effective.
 ''In Neal V. Delaware, 103 U. s. 370, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the adoption of the 18th Amendment, giving suff- rage to the negro, rendered inopera- tive a provision in. the then existing ! Constitution of the State of Della ware whereby the right of Suffrage was limited to the white race. Under this and similar decisions, the Stuff rage Amendment-whieh is identi- cal with the 18th Amendment ex- cept that the former substitutes sex for 'race'-when once ratified, is self-executory in the United States without further action on the part of any State"

Opinions on Suffrage Amendment

In order to be able to answer authoritatively the many questions which have arisen as a result of the statement issued from the Cover nor's office inferring that a change in the state constitution would be necessary in order to insure full suff- rage to women even if the federal amendment is ratified, the Connec- ticut Woman Suffrage Association has secured opinions and statements from several prominent lawyers. These opinions corroborate the opin- ion recently given by Francis w. Cole in which MT. Cole maintained that the federal amendment sutoma- tically removed the word "male" from the qualifications for state officers and thus gave full suffrage to women without act of state legislature.
 Harrison Hewitt, of New Haven, says, in part, concerning the situa- ton:
 Governor Holcomb's opinion that it would be in contravention of his duty to support the constitution of the state to favor ratification of the suffrage amendment or to do any act which might aid in bringing such ratification about, except by vote not only of the legislature, but all of the people of the state, seems 1 open to question.
 "The General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, by special act approved May 19, 1869, ratified the 18th amendment to the Constitution of the United States without sub mission to the Electors of the State of Connecticut. Eminent authority, namely the lawyers who drafted the l 1875 Revision of the General Sta tutes of Connecticut, among whom were Simeon E. Baldwin, afterward Chief Justice, and Governor, and Hon. George c. Woodruff, of Litch- ! field, in a note to No. 2 of Article 9th of the Constitution of the State of Connecticut, which limited suff- rage to white male citizens, state that this provision was altered by the 18th amendment to the Consti- tuition of the United States and the legislation of Congress hereunder They append the same note to the | 9th amendment to the Constitution of the State of Connecticut, which contained a similar provision. This was in advance of the adoption of l the 23rd amendment to the Consti- tuition of the State erasing the word white in the 8th amendment, which | 23rd amendment was not adopted until October, 1876. Either the 18th amendment could be made nugatory | by any state, or else it of itself altered the Connecticut constitution and Connecticut has always main tained the position that the 18th amendment was and is valid and binding. If it was legally adopted and, as Governor Baldwin and his associates said, it altered our Con- stitution, 1 can see no reason why similar alteration cannot properly be brought about by a ratification of this amendment in the same manner in which the 18th amendment was ratified"
 Clarence W. Seymour, a Hartford attorney, says:
 ''The proposed amendment reads as follows:-'The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex" The Governor is a lawyer with longer experience than mine l

From a Biblical source comes the
charming Faith, which sprang into
popular usage during the Vocue OF
Purltanical names. The prevalence
OF appellatives which denoted abstract
virtues marked the beginning of pur-
itanism In England and many such
other classes because OF the wide
spread dislike of the Round Heads"
But the beauty OF Faith, as well
as the divine virtue for which the
name was symbol, Kept her popularity
undimmcd. For was She not one of

Abraham Lincoln gave some pretty
good advice when he said: "Teach
economy. That it is one of the first
and highest virtues. 1t begins with
the saving of money" 1t would be
interesting to know just how many.
parents in this country have waked'
up to the fact that the teachers in
our schools have organized their pu-
pills into Thrift Clubs and are giving
them systematic instruction in Thrift
and Saving. If you are a parent, let
your child's teacher know you appre-
ciate this training being given for
success and prosperity. And don't
forget it is duty Of every parent to
set his child a wise example. When

MARY PICKFORD is
CHARGED WITH FRAUD

Reno, New, April 16.-Mary Pick
ford must face charges of wholesale
collusion, conspiracy, fraud and un-
truthful testimony with the object of
defeating California and Nevada laws
on marriage and divorce and to de-
ceive the District Judge in Nevada
before whom the case was heard.
A 70OO-word complaint was filed
today by the Attorney General of
Nevada. He asks that her decree of
divorce granted March 2, 1920, in
Minden, New, be set aside. The suit
was filed this afternoon in the same
court in which Mrs Moore was given
decree.
The complaint alleges that Mary
Pickford's testimony was false, un-
true and fabricated from beginning
to end, with exception of testimony
as to her marriage to owen Moore.
The cause of the action against Moore
is declared to be fabricated. Moore is
charged with conspiring and collud-
ing with his wife to confer jurisdic-
ton on the Nevada court by COM
ing to Minden for the sole purpose of
accepting service of the papers in the
divorce case.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford are charged with conspiring to
defeat the intent of the California
law which requires that one year
shall elapse before either party to
divorce suit is free to wed again.
The marriage in Los Angeles sub
sequent to the decree being granted,
which is characterized as pretend
ed" is cited as a circumstance in
support of the allegation that there
was an agreement to wed on the part
of Mary Pickford and Fairbanks long
before going to Minden, March Is.
Frank P. Langan, the Judge who
heard the case and granted the de-
cree, will be disqualified from hear
ing the States suit to set aside the |
decree by the State. He will be ask !
ed to give testimony to show that |
Mary Pickford endeavored to deceive
the court by posing under an assum-
ed personality.
Mrs. Moore was introduced to the |
Judge in the courtroom few minutes
before she took the witness stand as
