Votes Count Now.

For many years the men have
been told what would happen if
women we're ever given equal SUI
frage with men.
Now they have it.
In future the vote of the hum
blest female citizen will count just
as much as that of the president
of the United States.
Acts, not words will write the
story of the future.
1t isa matter of speculation as to
lust what effect the feminine vote
will have in national and state
politics, but the presumption IS
that it will have a tendency to
purify the ballot and retire a GER
tain stamp Of politicians who have
been seeking to debauch the bal
lot for years.
Morally woman is unquestion.
ably the superior of man, and if
she demonstrates the fact that
she is broad minded enough to
rise above peanut politics and
vote for men of stability and char.
acter, regardless Of political con.
siderations, We may reasonably
expect her advent to be one OF
supreme Importance to the future
welfare of our country. In such
an event political leaders will hes.
itate long before attempting to
foist upon the voters of their par
ty a man who does not truly re-
present the intelligence and the
integrity Of that party.
Until women adjust themselves
to their new station in life some
will no doubt vote merely as their
husbands do, while others will do
their own thinking and vote as
they please
It is to the latter class that we
must look for any material change
from our present political methods
and system.
The November election will tell
much of the story, but few politi'
cal forecasters are willing to
make even the smallest kind OF
prediction at this time.
The politicians themselves are
all flounderine in sea OF uncer.
tainty.

PINK KERTON MAN HERE

Anniston, March 25.-(Special) )-Capture of J. E. Berry, alleged confederate of Edwin F.

Garner, Pinkerton operative from Atlanta, and the reported that the wife of Collins was en route to Anniston from Paris, Tex, to make an effort to secure her hus- bands release are among the latest de- velopments in the case now engaging of- ficers and hotel men in nine or ten Vir- ginia and Kentucky cities through which the men are said to have made trip recently.
 Berry was arrested at the Pinehurst ho- tel in Laurel Miss, a day or two ago at the instigation of Pinkerton detectives who have been on his trail for several weeks, and he is being held in that city under a charge similar to those preferred against the Anniston prisoner.
 Pinkerton men are reported to be con- ducting an intensive investigation into the alleged operations of the two men now being held as prisoners with a view to connecting them with more extended operations of men higher up' and be- lieved to be behind the wholesale plan to swindle hotel keepers and others through

WEAKNESS SHOWN CORN TRADING
 IN CHICAGO PIT
Oats Also Made Losses, While Pro- visions Went Downhill 35c to S1.4O
 Under Wednesdays Close
By Associated Press


 Chicago. March 25. = Pronounced weakness developed in the corn mar ket today owing a good deal to rumors that a maximum limit on trading all lowabIe for any one interest would again be put in force. The close was nervous, B 03Ac net lower, with May $1.531a @1. .537s and July s1.4Sss Q1.4s& Oats lost 1Ac to 2@2Bc. and provisions 35c to 1$.40.
 Gossip was current that 100000 bush els would be restored as the greatest amount which the exchange rules would permit any single concern to have open in current trading on the corn market For some weeks past there has been no maximum limit and it has been contended that unduly heavy specula- ton on the bull side has resulted. An other bearish factor was a prospect 8 considerable number of cars which had been devoted to wheat would here- after be used for carrying corn. Sharp declines in the value of hogs tended also to weaken corn in the last part of the day. Earlier the market had scored transient gains chiefly as re- suit of gossip that no basis had been found for any prosecution of grain traders.
 Oats merely paralleled the action of corn.
 Provisions were depressed by breaks in the hog markets.
