OW that woman suffrage

NOV that woman suffrage
has been made a fact ac-
complished, through
proclamation of ratifica-
ton by Secretary of State Colby,
politicians find themselves almost
wholly unprepared to deal with the
situation which has been created
They thought they had lines out
for mana ging the feminine voters,
out they have come suddenly to
realization that these, at the best,
were of doubtful strength and in
secure attachment.
Dispatches to The Sunday Star
from it's political correspondents
show that in number of states
the party managers are in a state
OF mind that doesn't lack much of
Qualifying under the head of con-
sternation. About the happiest
situation that exists. from the
viewpoint of the campaign man
ayers, is where the women seem to
be dividing along normal political
INES, accepting the political tradi-
ions of their families and eX-N
pectlns to vote as their husbands
or fathers or brothers vote. This
would seem to be the situation
generally in the south and in a few
northern states, Indiana being no.
tably in this class, but in the
north, as a rule, and in the west
the woman voter apparently is an
almost unguessable quantity.

In Ohio, for example, the leaders
of both parties are very seriously
perturbed. W. W. Durbin,, state
campaign manager for the demo-
Gratis. has been an uncompromising
opponent of woman suffrage and
has steadfastly refused to accord
women any recognition in the
management of the campaign. And
although Senator Pomerene is not
candidate for reelection this
year. the fact that he opposed the
Anthony amendment while Senator
Harding supported it is regarded
as likely to chill farther the ardor
of Ohio women for the democratic
ticket. On the other side, Mayor
Davis of Cleveland, the republican
candidate for governor, is an out
right wet" and it is figured that
this will drive thousands of woman
voters away from the republican
state ticket. A saving feature,
from the republican standpoint, is
that former Gov. Willis, republican
candidate for United States sena-
tor, has a consistent record as
champion of the dry" cause.

In no state has woman suffrage
caused worse mix-up than in
Maryland. The democrats espe-
cially are in confusion, and the
leaders of that party apparently
are wandering around in bewilder-
ment searching for way out. The
Maryland democracy, in control of
the state legislature, refused to
ratify the Anthony amendment.
But now, the requisite number of
states having given approval and
woman suffrage become a part of
the organic law of the land, there
is agitation for special session
of the legislature to enact legisla-
ton to make possible full exercise
by the new voters of their right.
The question of calling an extra
session Is up to Gov. Richie. a
democrat. For Ia democratic gov

Ia storm might break cannot be said,
but among extreme opponents of rati-
fication it can be safely said feeling
is not so bitter against the republican
advocates of ratification as against
democratic advocates.
Mass meetings were called in the
counties of the state by anti-ratifica-
tionists for today to voice their pro-
tests against ratification. How ex-
tensively the calls were needed is not
Iyet apparent. w. E. BEARD.

COL. HARRY CUTLER DIES.
Providence Man Was Abroad to
Concentrate Graves.

PROVIDENCE, R. T.. August 2s.-The
death in London yesterday of Col. Har-
~ Cutler, chairman of the Jewish We'll
fare Board, was reported in cable mes
sage received at his office here today.
Col. Cutler sailed for Europe two
weeks ago on duties connected with the
work of concentrating the graves of
Americas dead overseas, in which he
was engaged as a member of the War
Memorial Board.
The cause of death was not given, but
it is believed to have been caused in
directly by a shock which he suffered in
New York recently. Mrs. Cutler died
a few days after her husband was taken
i'll and his recovery was slow.
Col. Cutler was active as a manufac.
turing jeweler, and also in politics in
this state. He was born in Russia
forty-fiVe years ago.

4VER,fCE EXPENDITURES
OF UNIVERSITY MEN
HIGHER THAN W0MEN's

'It costs me just about $50 a month
to live in Columbia and 90 to school,
and most Of il is spent feeding myself
or someone else.
The foregoing statement tells the aver
age mans expense account at the Uni
gersity Of Missouri. The average month
" expenditures Of University men range
from $50 to $50, sum nesrly so per
cent larger than the average monthly
expenditures Of University women: Ae-
cordine to a story recently appearing in
the Missourian, the average woman
spends about $50 a month.
OF this $50 average not more than $50
is used for actual living expenses, the
other so is spent for-well. according
to The men themselves, Its just spent.
Some University men find ii possible
10 live in Columbia with an allowance
amounting 10. Just few dollars more thar
actual living expenses, while others feel
that they must economize and deny them
selves even bare necessities with monthly
checks Of only 500. The lowest amount
found to be spent by University man
is $50 month, while one young man in
a recent computation Of his expenditures
Tor the present term, found that he had

A HURRIED DECISION

'Tis an offhand manner in which the
City Council decides things for the resi-.
dents of Columbia as far in the future
as 1910.
With two days public notice, and
without giving opportunity for eApres-
sion OF public opinion or making Of sug-
gcsiions, the members Of the City Coun-
ell unanimously voted 10 grant a twenty
year franchise worded in advance by
representatives Of the gas company it,
self. Only one material change was
made in the franchise as proposed-ihe
elimination Ct clauses authorizing an in
crease in rates. Three other sections
were eliminated as ~superfluous."
Possibly the proposed rates, which
must now be acted upon by the Public
Service Commission, are justified by the
situation. Possibly they represent the
very lowest prices at which the new back
ers OF the gas company will be willing to
take hold Of The plant and invest new
capital. But on the other hand, how
about the possibility that the writers Of
the franchise shrewdly asked for more
than they expected to get, leaving room
for bargaining? Why should the City
Council rush the proposition through
at the very first meeting at which il is
mentioned?
The gas plant has made and sold gas
a good many years without franchise.
II the reorganization goes through, it
will be months at least before the s25,-
600 worth Of improvements can be re.
flec.cd in the service A delay, at less,
until the next council meeting, two
weeks hence, would have given oppor-
tunity 10 consult the consumer, the man
who pays tho bills, and will ultimately
furnish the $4,000 for improvements.
But apparently no one thought it worth
while.

THE DUTY OF SERVICE

The human being often imagines that
his opportunity for service and for happi
ness lies somewhere else-and he fails to
gee it is where he is. Whether a man ha.
nothing or whether he has been successful
in the business world and has amassed
millions, there is efien the vain imagin-
ing that his real service lies somewhere
else. Let US consider, for instance, a
successful. middle-ag(i business man,
who says he is going to quit work and
spend the remainder Of his life doing
good. He is sincere. He does not in
tend to loaf but 10 work. Yet, il he were
asked what could he do better than his
present task, he would probably have only
a vague idea. He is master of his craft
He is as much force in his business life
as any force in other fields OF endeayor.
A man does the. most coed in the world
by doing what he can do best, not by
only doing good. Some men are born
to preach; others to make shoes. Each
can do the most good in his own sphere.
The story is told Of Grover Cleveland
after he left the tremenduous duties and
activities of the presidency that he felt
like locomotive hiiched to little boys
express wagon There may be a train
load Of responsibilities and opportunities
attached to your own calling. What if
you should unhook yourself from all
those and hitch to a tiny express wagon.
There is great duty Of service for
everyone and it usually lies where he is.

CENTRALIA AND COLUMBIA

The meeting Of the Ceniralia anl Col
umbia Commercial Clubs at the Daniel
Boone Tavern last week was significant,
for in that reunion Of the most infiuen-
tial business men in both cities, better
feelings, a deeper sense Of fratrnity and
cooperation were cemented. which, no
doubt, will serve as the cornerstone for
the future prosperity Of Boone County.
Harmonious working Of these two cities
can be brought about through closer con-
tact and exchange Of ideas for the promo
ton Of civic welfare. No better agency
can put into play this program than the
two commercial clubs.
Among the good suggestions for i'm
proving this country the following were
brought 10 attention Of visiting members:
First, better road direct from Centralia
TO Columbia second, better roads through
out Boone County; third, better train
service on the Chicago & Alton Railroad
in the way Of more stops at Cen,ralia;
fourth, an annual meeting Of the people
Of Boone County for 'getiogether" CO.
operative purposes; fifth. cooperation
throughout the county for general better
nemt Of business and social relations in
the entire county; sixth, a night train be.
tween Centralia and Columbia. Mutual
cooperation between the business men
can put across these suggestions to the
decided advantage Of both cities.
