WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-As a man
high up In Republican councils declared
the other day:
"If American women had not had the
vote, there wouldn't have been a re-
duction of ornaments conference called
In Washin gton."
Returning to the Capital after several
weeks absence, one finds evidences of
this assertion on every hand.
Now the question is, what woman or
women will be included in the advisory
council of twelve? Women who have
been active in creating public sentiment
to force some action on disarmament
now have their eyes fixed on the Presi-
dents statement that American woman
hood would be represented among those
who Will be next in importance to the
four delegates themselves. This state
ment was made to newspaper cor
respondents at the White House last
Friday.
FITTED FOR
POSITION.
Among the names most seriously con-
sidered, though as yet, almost unmen-
toned, in this connection, is that OF
Mrs. Richard Edwards Of Peru, Ind.
There are so few American women who
have had any adequate training or have
even had the least interest in interna-
tional politics that It is not surprising to
find when focused on one who has had
little experience in this line
The best thing about Mrs. Edwards is
that she has no enemies. She is a young
woman who still keeps the enthusiasm of
her Smith College days Of nearly twenty
years ago. As Marie Stewart, she mar
rted Richard Edwards. a young Harvard
graduate, who settled down IN his ia
theirs furniture business. lie specializes
in chairs, and his wife helps him, when
Dlckey. Jr., now a lad Of II, gives his
mother time to do so.
Those who have watched Mrs. Edwards
within the last two or three years con-
slider her one of the brightest political
stars in the feminine horizon She has

a perfect genius for organization and
putting her objective across, making ev-
cry one happy around her while doing it,
Mrs. Edwards Is a stanch Republican,
but claims to hold the interests Of women
and Of country first OF all. She won her
political spurs in Indiana suffrage cam
paigns and in the national presidential
campaign when she worked In the Chi
cago- headquarters AS first vice presi-
dent of the National League of Women
Voters, she also could cultivate the in
terest of that large group of women.
At least two centers Of hospitality are
being planned for women who will be in
Washington for the armament and Far
Eastern conference. Though no definite
word has been received Of women in the
foreign delegations, some are expected.
Mrs Clifford Pinchot Of Pennsylvania,
who has lovely home in Washington,
has offered to open her house to enter
tain them. At recent meeting of the
board of governors of the New Woman's
National Foundation. it was announced
that registry and meeting room would
be maintained for the use of the club
women and newspaper correspondents
who will come for the conference.
WoMEN's INTEREST
IN UNEMPLOYMENT.
Another event that is arresting the
attention Of women who are looking out
beyond the confines of their own homes
is the conference on unemployment.
will women be among the delegates p
was a question asked
We'll, rather, was the reply. IF
there are thirty delegates as it is now
rumored, we may have as many as ten,
but we surely ought to have five"
This same person estimated that Of all
the wage earners in this country, one
third were women and two thirds men.
The women mentioned as being most eK-
pefienced to sit on the unemployment
conference are Mrs. Raymond Robbins,
Of Chicago Mrs. Katherine Edison Phil

Of Pennsylvania Miss Amy Maher, of
Ohio; Miss Mary Mcdowell, and Miss

SUICIDES INCREASE

How a Save-a-Life League can ia
any appreciable extent achieve its no.
BILE purpose of extending emergency
aid to persons tempted to take their
own lives is not so easy to understand
for intending suicides never make pub
lie and rarely even private announce
ment, leaving the news to. spread only
after the event. But such league
can collect useful statistics, and it is
interesting to learn from its report
that more than 5000 cases of suicide
were brought to its attention in 1920,
more than thousand in excess of
1919. 1t is startling to hear that
leagues statistician believes there
were twice that number of actual sui.
cides and that the number of unsuc-
cessful attempts was equally large.
1t is distressing to learn that TOT
of the known 5000 suicides of 1920
were of boys and girls. The supposed
causes were actual or threatened fail
ure in school or parental reproof or
abuse. There is warning here, to both
parents and teachers that morbidly
sensitive children need to be terfderly
or specially handled. Many farmers
and farmers wives and 400 returned
soldiers are on the 1920 list. Rev.
Henry M. Warren, president of the
eague, attributes the great increase of
the suicide rate largely to divorce, to
living conditions brought about by
national prohibition and the restric-
ton of drugs, desperation following
deprivation of customary stimulants.

NOT AS OTHER NATIONS.

Discussing the "vagueness' of GER
tain public utterances of the President
the Chicago Evening Post refers to
his expressed with that this nation
shall become $50 powerful in righteous
ness that none will dare provoke her
wrath" and says: "The casual read
er paraphrased that expression quite,
Justlfiabiy as meaning so sure she is
right that nobody can make her an
gry.' One reader paused and then
gasped out: by Jove, President
Harding also thinks that nation can
be too proud to fight. but he used ten
words to say what Wilson said in
four" Such interpretations will
surprise those readers who regared the
Presidents utterance as a yelled pre-
paredness out-giving, promptly delet-
ed righteousness" and made the SEN
tence read--'so powerful that none
will dare provoke her wrath"
Whatever impression the President
intended to convey in this instance, and
however divergent the numerous inter-
pretations, there can be no such differ
ence of opinion as to what he meant
when he later said: eff all the ma
tions of the earth were as. honest and
unselfish as this Republic there would
never be another war; In this case
manifestly he meant precisely what
ne said, although in saying it he con-
tributed nothing toward the solution
of the problem Of war prevention.
Most Americans will think that he told
the truth, but probably most foreign
ers will entertain doubts and also in
dulge in smiles. The fostering of
national pride, both. as to strength and
superior virtue, may have its uses at
proper times, but it may lead toward
rather than prevent wars. No people
have thanked God that they were not
as other men as loudly as have the
Germans, or as continuously exalted
their country far above the best of all
the others combined. Though this
may have achieved greater German
solidarity, it helped nightly toward
breeding outside enmity and precipi-

GREAT POWER DAM
BEING BUILT

There is q possibility that Poplar
Bluffs future as manufacturing cen
ter will be determined by the devel-
opment of the water power on Cur.
rent River which is going on few
miles below Eminence, in Shannon
county.
The Western Tie and Timber Com
pany, wealthy lumber company of
st. Louis, which has flcde millions out
of the timber in Carter, Shannon and
Reynolds and other Ozark counties, is
now turning its attention to tile de-
.velopment of the water power of Cur
rent River.
Work on the big dam, which will be
sixty feet high and nearly quarter of
mile in length, located at jack
Fork, has been going on for some
time, according to reports. The pur-
pose of the dam is to harness the wa
tiers Of the river and to turn the pow
or into electric current. The current
will be put on the market and the
most advantageous point will be Pop
lar Bluff, the railroad center of
Southeast Missouri.
It is understood a proposal has al
ready been made to sell current to the
Missouri Pacific Utilities Company OF
this city which would be transmitted
to the towns and country east of Pop
lar Bluff over the heavy transmission
now carrying the current made with
high priced coal hauled long distances
at exorb;tant freight rates.
The only thing that can possibly
stand in the way OF Poplar Bluff be-
coming a manufacturing city is its
distance from the coal fields, and
when tie water power of the Ozark
streams is converted into electric cur
rent it will settle the power problem
for the city.
According 10 statement of an en-
gineer of the Western Tie & Timber
Company, made to tie. Republican
representative, the company expects
to sell current to the Lead Belt towns,
which are about equal distance with
Poplar Bluff from the site of the first
dam. He stated that they would be
able to sell current far below the cost
Of making it with coal. even at those
points which are closer to the coal
fields than Poplar Bluff is. He ad-
mitted, however. that the greatest
field for the use of the Current River
power would be at Poplar Bluff and
the territory east of here. ..
He stated that at the present time
it is costing companies like the Mis-
souri, Public Utilities not less than
two cents a killowatt to manufacture
current and by the time it is distrib-
uted to users power electricity comes
too high. The Missouri Public Utili-
ties Company is selling power and has
been under old contracts on which
they lose money.--Poplar Bluff Repub-
Iican.

HARD TO KILL

Back in 1906. when the Republicans
were almost as strongly intrenched in
power as they are today and when
many people were saying that the
Democratic donkey was dead for GER
tain, John Wesley Gaines, Tennes-
see member of Congress, composed a
parody on an old poem to fit the &C.
casion and read it in the house. 1t
created a good deol of fun at the
time.
AS this situation is closely paral-
tieled with present time, this poem is
worth reprinting. Here it is: when
the lion eats grass like an OK. and the
fish worm swallows the whale;' when
the terrapins knit wooden socks, and
the hare is outrun by the snail; when
serpents walk upright like men, and
doodle bugs travel like frogs. when
the grasshopper feeds on the hen, and
feathers are found on hogs, when
Thomas cats swim in the air, and ele-
plants roost upon trees; when insects
in summer are rare and snuff never
makes people sneeze; when the fish
creep over dry land. and mules on ve-
locipedes ride; when foxes lay eggs in
sand, and women in dress take no
pride; when Dutchmen no longer drink
beer; and girls get to preaching on
time; when the billy goat butts from
the rear, and treason is no longer a
crime; when humming birds bray like
an ass, and. limburger smells like CO.
logne, when the pillow shares are made
out of grass, and hearts Of Tennessee
cans are stone; when sense grows in
the head of the senscless hydraulic
ram, then the Democratic party will be
dead, and this country not worth a
d. Pathfinder.

Missouri farms was from to 8 cents
per pound, while the average retail
price Of pork chops in st. Louis ran
from II to 81 cents, or two and one
half times the price of live hogs on
farms.
The spread continued to widen I'M
til the price of pork chops was three
and one-half times the price of live
hogs on the farms.
Even taking account Of the increased
cost Of doing business, it would seem
that pork chops at three and one-half
times the cost of live hogs, instead of
the ratio Of two and one-half times in
1913, is entirely too high and not in
line with prices received by the farm
