* # * Suffrage May Yet Have a Hard Road to Travel

WIFE. s..a the Tennessee .s. legislature a' ,, frage amendment, it was thought that the time for jubilation had come; but Tennessee has the habit of filibuster- ing when a quorum is sought to be broken.
 The suffrage proposition had plain sailing in the senate, and while the vote was close in the house, there was . clear majority.
 A motion was made on behalf of the anti-suffragists to reconsider the vote, and that precipitated a wran- gle. A temporary injunction restrain ing the speaker of each branch of the legislature was issued and the governor was likewise enjoined from signing the resolutio, of ratification and his secretary from forwarding the document to the state department ct Washington.
 A heated fight is now in progress. The filibusterers have betaken them selves to Decatur, Ala, a sprightly city with enchanting scenery, elegant people and fine hotel accommoda- tions. They declare it to be their intention to remain there until the

 It is confidently stated by those who claim to know him that he is Jew, but he is not claimed by Hebrew writers who are proud of enrolling Bergson and Brandes, Spinoza and Strauss, in their list Vainly offering his life for Italy, he Is not son1atcaliy, mentally or emo- tionally an Italian.

DIsARMING KENTUCKY

From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
 Life will never be what it was in "Oi Kaintuck." Prohibition deprived the Bluegrass state of one of it's tra- ditions, and now Gov. Edwin P. Nor row threatens to rob it of another. He has declared war on pistol toters." He condemns them as undesirable citi- zens. a menace to good order and pub lie safety. Hereafter. he warns per sons convicted of carrying firearms concealed need not expect executive clemency, because no pardons will be issued from his office. He calls upon the courts to assist in saving the state from sthe disgrace of its homicides, ? and urges them faithfully to execute the law which prescribes Jail sentences for the first offense and disfranchise ment for two years for the second.
 So in future Kentuckians must fore go the distinction of being either half shot" or fatally shot. Southward the star of progress and law and order takes it's way, a little late in the day, perhaps. but better late than never. Pretty soon Keiftuckys soke remaining claim to fame will be the proud pos session of ''Marse Henry" and its blood ed stock.

Confidence of Republicans

~ RANTED that republican con- .0 fidence is sincere, the reason is not far to seek Blinded by their own hatred of President Wilson, such leaders as Senator Lodge think the whole country feels the same way they dc, and the unpopularity of the Wilson administration insures the election of Harding.
 Correspondents who described the notification ceremonies at Marion stated that Lodge wore the expres- sion of . man who was absolutely cer- tain of what the future would bring forth.

Land Settlement Plan
 in a Concrete Form

1.-THE plan of the Southern Com U mercial Congress for bringing suitable settlers to Alabama, as mapped out and brought into con- crete form by Maj. W. M Matthews, director of that organizations land and immigration bureau, is practi- cal and feasible. In brief, the plan is this:
 The Southern Commercial Con- gress, being in close touch with of ficial departments of government at Washington, will receive from them the thousands of inquiries relative to land settlement coming to them. The congress, through it's land and im- migration bureau, will winnow out those applicants apparently suited for this section, and favoring it, and send them to Alabama with letters of introduction.
 The letters of introduction will be
 presented to county committees of five representative citizens to be es- tablished in each county. The coun- tv tarm demonstration agent is to be ex-officio member of the county committee. The committee is person. lally to care for the interests of the homeseeker and see that he receives fair treatment.
 A central Alabama office is to be maintained in Birmingham. This will be the immediate point of con- tact between Washington and the state of Alabama.
 The crux of the plan ris the coun- ty committee That insures intelli-
 gent and tactful handling of the
 homeseeker after he reaches the
 state. Many counties have already 1 forwarded the names of citizens sug- gested for the committees. The or gaaization is coming to head with disl atrh. and soon should be in
 good working order.

Giving Distinction to
 the Editorial Page

ID PLATING in Golfers Weekly IN how he established the Chicago Morning News, following the great success he and Victor Lawson had with the Evening News, Melville E. Stone says he followed the policy of the London Times in engaging ex- perts to write his editorials. In this way literature, art, music, politics, science and technical subjects were discussed by writers who were au- thorities.
 Mr. Stone says the average edi- torial writer who is expected to write about everything under the sun, who frequently has to "cram" with an encyclopedia and then do the best he can, labors under a great disadvant- age, which is perfectly true. He fre- quently has some difficulty in con- cealing his ignorance, and he has to rely mainly on information obtained at second hand. Considering the di- versity of subjects that he must write about, from day to day, it is sur prising that he does not make more mistakes.
 Obviously, the Stone plan of en- gazing college professors, musicians, political economists, doctors, legal authorities and other experts to write editorials is the best way, but few newspapers could afford the expense and besides such talent, is not always available At the time when MT. Stone established the Morning News he had probably the most brilliant newspaper staff ever assembled in America, including George Ade, John T. McCutcheon, Harry B. Smith, the famous librettist; Finley P. Dunne, "Mr. Dooley," and number of other celebrities.

Denikine started from Kuban and gradually got possession of the Don region and the Crimea. Then he seized the industrial provinces north and northeast of the Crinea and invaded the Ukraine.
 In a letter to Denikine recently pub lished, Wrangel charged his former chief with two grave military mistakes.
