EQUAL SUFFRAGE IS
TASK OF WOMEN
Feminist Leader Declares That
Country Needs More Dis
cerning Electorate.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 19.-Limita-
t;on of armaments will be one of the
principal subjects discussed here No
vember 81 and % at the second an
nual convention of the Fifth Region
of the National League of Women
Voters. Delegates from six Middle
Western states, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Iowa, will be here to dis
cuss 'woman's place in politics"
Speakers nationally known in suf-
fIage work will be here to address
the convention. Among them will
be Mrs. Thomas G.. Winter of Min
neapolis, president of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs; Maud
Wood Park of Washington, president
Of the National League of Women
Voters; Belle Sherwin of Cleveland,
Mrs. Andreas Ueland of Minneapolis,
Miss Mary Mcdowell of Chicago, and
Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, Ind.
Equality of suffrage is a fact to
which every patriotic woman must
now adjust her life," states Mrs.
Walter S. Brown, Iowa president, in
her appeal to women Of the six states
to attend the convention. "The lea
que" she states does not seek to
form party but rather to arouse in
terest, furnish opportunity for i'm
partial study, and stimulate to wise
and unselfish action through the va
rious parties.
What our country needs" she
declares, sis more discerning cleo
torate. The twenty planks endorsed
by the National League of Women
Voters could very easily be incorpor-
ated into the platform of any or all
political parties without debate, en-
phasizing as they do, what may be
termed the feminine affairs of life.
"The consensus of opinion Of the
press seems to be that upon the re-
turn to Washington of our senators
and congressman, after the recent re-
cess, they almost unanimously re-
ported that disarmament is the most
important issue before the constitu-
ents.
1--WE believe that if the slogan
Friendship versus Warships' could
be stressed by thinking women of
the world, it would be effectual in
the climax so greatly desired-peace
without the burden of heavy taxa
tion,"

Enoch Victor Alderman.

Enoch Victor Alderman, son of W.
7. and F. J. Alderman was born Jan
uary 19, 1877, and departed this life
October 8, 1921. He was married to
Miss Lucinda Posey December IL,
1899. He leaves to mourn his de-
parture an aged father and mother,
three brothers and three sisters: DR..
E. M. Alderman, Fayette, Miss;
Prof. w. H. Alderman, Vernon,
Miss; and ]. w. Alderman cf Lin
coin; Mrs. j. j. Case, Mrs. Ernest
Keen; and Mrs. w. J. Laird all Of
Lincoln county, wife and eight
children, Willie, Jesse, John, Edwin,
James, Ruth, Ruby and Grace, be-
sides many friends and relatives.
He was a member of the New Pros
pect Baptist church. There never
lived a braver or more honest l. an
than he. The community has given
UP a good citizen, the wife Il devot-
ed husband, and the children a good
father. Let us not wish for him back
in this world, but strive to meet him
in heaven. We have the blessed as
surance that he is at rest from his
last words. Let us remember that
our loss is his gain.
Solomon was the wisest of all men
and probably among the wealthiest
men of his day, and with these
truths Solomon says;- A good name
is rather to be chosen than great
riches.
Enoch Victor Alderman leaves a
good name. He was not an aged
man only in his forty-f1fth year, but
he wrought volums of examples for
his children and friends to emulate.
The Bible teaches with all it's COM
mon simplicity, "As for man, his
days are as grass, as flower of the
field"
The rose and the lily must perish
with every coming season and their
beauty and fragrance, however
sweet, must vanish. Old age and de-
cay come on apace, and fades into
wrinkled faces, gray hair and totter-
ing forms. Time, well utilized in
the service of God and to our fellow
man is the only cure of our young
vanities and like the shock of corn
with it's withered leaves, we ripen
to the harvest of life's golden sum-
mer to bloom again with immortal
youth upon another shore.
Sleep on dear friend, asleep in
Jesus, blessed sleep from which
none ever wake to weep. A calm and
undisturbed repose, sleep on-we
want to say goodbye but will only
bid you goodnight to meet you again
on the morn Of the Resurrection
where parting shall be no more.
