EQUAL SUFFRAGE UP
TO TENNESSEE.
Resolution To Ratify Giving Woman
Ballot, Due Today, Result
In Doubt

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 9-The
Tennessee Legislature, meeting in
extraordinary session to act on the
Federal Suffrage Amendment, today
heard Governor Roberts urge prompt
ratification and then adjourned un-
til tomorrow without introduction of
the ratification resolutions. Neither
house was in session for more than an
hour
Ratification resolutions, leaders
said tonight, will be offered tomor-
row and referred to committees which
may conduct hearings. A vote is not
regarded as probable in either house
before the end of the week at the
earliest.
Both advocates and opponents of
ratification, in statements issued after
the initial session, expressed conf
dence in the outcome of the fight to
make Tennessee the thirty-sixth
State to ratify and thereby enfran-
chise the women of the nation in time
to permit them to vote in the Novem-
Der elections.
Anti-suffrs gists claimed there were
enough members opposed to suffrage
to defeat the ratification resolution,
while Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the National Women
Suffrage Association, declared that If
members pledged to ratification stood
by their pledges suffrage would win.
Mr.. Roberts, in his message, de-
clared ratification should be voted
promptly in order that the women of
the country might share in shaping
the destiny of the republic"
On all sides, it was said, the course
of the Republican delegation would
play an important part in the issue.
Seven of the thirty-three Senators are
Repu blicans. Seventeen votes in the
Senate are necessary for ratification.
In the House, however, the member
ship of ninety-nine includes twenty
nine Republicans. Fifty votes will
be necessary for ratification by the
House.
Hartford, Conn, Aug. "a letter
was sent to Gov. Marcus HI. Holcomb
by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, in
which the executive is urged to call
a special session of the Connecticut
General Assembly to act on the suf-
frage amendment, it was made pub
lie today.

Unique Plan of Bank

Tn my opinion the plan of the fed eral reserve bank will do much to re- duce the high cost of living" said C. P. dickson. Many of the exorbitant prices are due to the fact that some dealers, as long as they can borrow money from the banks, are storing great quantities of goods away anu ait.ng for the market to get scarce before disposing of them. and this forces prices up.
 However. this is not expected to be the case for long. as orders have been received regarding the lending of money that will make 1t much harder for the dealer to get money and he will be forced to dispose of his goods in order to carry on his business. The plan of the government tc cause money Ito go up in order to bring prices down 'Is most unique"

 6NHE village play in England has long and even noble tradition
 S behind it. In many counties,
 even before the war, there were signs
 of an attempt to revive something Of
 this tradition. Enthusiasts for local folklore were discovering traces, stili remembered by the older inhabitants of .St. George and the Dragon" and other mumming plays. which derive from a past as remote as that Of any other art-older perhaps than any, since these plays have developed from Religious rites and ceremonies as an cient as humanity itself. There are many versions extant of the old St. George play-but none, it may be, more accurate than that unearthed and acted to the huge delight of the villages Dy Miss Beatrice Horne of Anstyle In the county of Sussex.

THE CLOCK IN sTAGELAND

 There is another way of playing

 cool, The thought sometimes occurs to me 'Twould suit me passing well to be A pebble at the bottom of a pool. No doubt some trees would lend their
 shade, Green boughs above me overlaid, And it would be, methinks, no end of

No Room In America
 For a Third Party

6NHE history of third parties in
 1 the United States is one of fail ure. The movement now under way to launch party, probably headed by Senator LaFollette, in opposition to the democratic and republican organ izations, will get nowhere. America is two-party country and has found by long experience that this system is best adapted to it's political needs.
 There is possibility that a new organization might some day come into being which would replace one of the parties now in existence, but it is highly improbable that there will ever be more than two organizations with ercugh influence to carry a national election.

The South Insists on
 Its Homogeneity

m HE democratic state committee 0 of Mississippi has adopted lcs- olutions opposing the plans to bring into that state a colony of several thousand Mennonites now residing in Canada.
 The committee gives sound reasons against this immigration, declaring
 Mennonites refuse to allow their
 children to attend the public
 schools
 They speak and write only in
 the German language, which is
 equivalent to thinking in German
 They are conscientious object
 CTS who refused to fight for the al-
 lied cause.
 The Mennonites may be industrious, religious, God-fearing people, but if they insist on the exclusive use of foreign tongue in America, with hold their children from the common schools and are opposed to making common cause against the enemies of America, the south has no use for them.
 It is not question of telling the Mennonites what to do; it is merely one of protection. America is not safe with alien communities in its borders. The danger arising from this source was amply demonstrated during the war and has been since. The south is typically American and Anglo-Saxon and proposes to remain so
 Immigration by herds is not .lesira- ble from any standpoint. The alien coming in herds and herding separ- ately after he arrives, by that very act puts wall between himself ano an appreciation and understanding ot American customs and our system ot government.
 The iron and steel industries of the north have paid the price of indiscrim inate immigration several times over during the last few years, and stiI pay.
