Missouri Continues As Feminine Storm Center
 OUer Reeds Campaign
State League of Women Voters Condemns Senator and Indorses Long, But Present Member Finds Much Support Among Ladies-Is
 Described as Cave Man

The league undertakes to dictate the choice of party without being able to promise support"
 Sign Resolution
 The three co-presidents of the Missouri league, Mrs, C. C. Ives. in dependent; Mrs. Clarence V. Beck, republican, and Mrs. Fred Reid, democrat, each signed the resolution. That there were plenty of dissenters to tho resolution within the league has been made evident since the action was taken. Mrs. William Schaeffer of Kansas City, member Of the state executive board of the Missouri league, says:
 Those women down in St. Louis who are for Breckinridge Long are trying to run the women's activities throughout the state. The League of Women Voters Is nonpolitfcal or ganization and here in Kansas City the league will not make any in- dorsement of candidates. We will vote as individuals, believe a large majority of our women here are Tor Mir. Reed. but we will not act as body"
 Since the League of Women Voters seems to be fidgeting about for something to do, it has been sug- gested that they study the problem of eliminating huge campaign ex- penses Under the present primary system politics is rich mans game. The poor man--or woman--hasnt chance to obtain offices because he hasn't got the money to properly ad- vertise himself. The Rhode Island League of Women Voters think they have found remedy for the situation in the Hare system of pro portional representation. The only trouble with the Hare system is that it is so complicated that when one has finally mastered 1t one feels en- titled to piece of parchment all done up in ribbon and to wear q tall of brilliant letters cometwise after ones name.
 Tariff Produces Flapper
 The protective tariff has been charged with the crime of producing the flapper. The fathers of flappers in the Senate immediately sat up and took notice when. this charge was registered by the democrats. The high cost of living caused by the tariff makes 1t impossible for the women to afford costumes larger than a hanlkerchief. is the quaint democratic view Granted that the tariff mi ght have SometnlnB to hO with "bobbed' skirts, it would pc stretching the argument rather tnin to hold it responsible for "bobhed hair" the cigarette, the liquor flask and betting parties.
 Senatorial fiapper fathers sighed when they realized that mere voting for free trade would not eliminate flapperism in their daughters. Char man McCumber on the republican side of the chamber countered with the argument that the wardrobe of the average woman of today Is burst ing with splendors because of the prosperity fostered by protection whereas her grandma in her young days had to be content with one bombazine dress.

Letters to he Editor
" AUDITORIUM COMPLICATION

NEW AUDITORIUM COMPLICATION To the Editor of The Age Herald
 1 am inclosing my vote fayorng the Smith park site for the proposed auditorium.
 As president of the Birmingham Au- mobile club, my first thought In re- gard to the site already proposed was the inadequacy of the parking facilities. I feel the very generous offer of the Smith estate should be accepted with all the expediency pos sible, and that the city should ins- mediately arrange to purchase from the Smith estate an equal amount of ground immediately adjoining. which l understand can be done with long time paper.
 In hearing and reading of the pros and cons on the auditorium proposi- tion 1t has been great surprise that l have heard nothing relative to the authority of the city to use the bal ance of the money on hand to apply on other than the present site. To the best of my knowledge the $500.000 bond issue passed by tn evoters was for the purchase of a site and the erection of an auditorium. portion of this money has been spent for a site. and it is doubtful if the city could use the balance legally on any other location. and probably would be enjoined immediately should the commission make such attempt. Much has been said protesting the loca- ton on account of it's distance from the heart of the city. This is not d proposition similar to the courthouse, city hall or the post office. where daily or frequent visits are neces- sary and how many people have stopped to ask themselves how often they would probably 20 to the audi torirra during the course of year.
 I believe that shoull the city ac- ceot the offer of the Smith heirs that an election would carry favorably to clean up any exigencies which might arise as to the use of the present au- ditorium money on hand and vote in addition sufficient to build such an auditorium as this city may re- nuire for years to come.

 REPRIsALs

Belfast, June 17.--The districts of Altanayelgh and Lisdrumliska. on the south side of Newry. were the scene of murderous attacks today on householders, the assassins claiming four men and one woman victims killed and several wounded Several farm houses were destroyed.
 The districts are largely inhabited by Presbyterians, and it Is believed were selected for reprisal for the killing of two men at Lisiea We'd nesday. Today's tragedy started at 3 a. m., and for hours the usually quiet countryside echoed with rifle and revolver shots. while incen- diaries applied the torch to home steads of people who had nothing to do with the Lislea crime.

 Washington, June 17.-Missouri continues to be center of furious feminine ferment over the candidacy of Senator James A. Reed for renom- i ination in the democratic primaries.
 Women now are lining up for or against the senator regardless of party lines. The latest cause for feminine agitation is the action of the Missouri League of Women Voters in condemning Reed and in- dorsing Breckinridge Long for the nomination.
 Intruding upon family affair is the way the democrats voice their resentment of the leagues action. Both the friends and enemies of Reed among the women in the democratic party believe they should be allowed to handle their Reed problem with out interference from women outside the party.
 Reed is national figure who strangely interests women voters all over the country He might be termed the "cave man" of politics, so far as women are concerned. He has batted women on the hoad--figur- ately-with his sacastie blundgeon and dragged her about the floor of
 
 perhaps it is the primal instinct in women coming to the fore-some of the stanchest supporters of Reed are women.
 Opposed Suffrage He was the most vituperative op- Ponent of Woman suffrage. He rid- 1culed the maternity bill with all his. powers as a master of invective and sarcasm. He referred virulentiy to the old maids in the ehildren's bureau who would tell the mothers of the country how to raise their children" Though women bitterly hold all of these things against him, somehow their admiration for his courage, his terrifying logic. the sheer intelligence of the man, tops the antagonism naturally aroused in them by his opposition to the sex and their pet bills.
 Condemnation of the action of the Missouri Legue of Women Voters in openly opposing Reed in the primary fight has come thererore from all quarters of the United States.
 Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, the resi- dent committeewoman at the Wash ington headquarters of the demo- cratic party, voices the resentment of the democratic women throughout the country
 T don't see how an all-partisan organization like the League ot Women Voters can go on record as opposing or indorsing the candidate of a party, with a membership both of democrats and republicans. It does not mean anything for bi- partisan. organization to take an action of this kind, because they can not promise support if the candidate they indorse is chosen at the pri- maries. It is merely putting into a family affair. One Of the advan- tages of being in party is In hay ing voice in selecting candidates.

ravens MARKET SITE

To the Editor of The Age Herald: I am herewith inclosing my vote as to where shall the city auditorium be placed. As my vote shows l am opposed to the smith park location and also the Eighth avenue location. I am in favor of the southwest corner of Third avenue and Twenty third street, north.
 They have ground there 200 by 40 feet which ought to be large enough for an auditorium with seating ca pacity Of 10000. As to city market. Birmingham does not need one. They are obsolete. The present system of small markets scattered over the city is better and more conve~ mt to the people. I think the northeast corner of Sixth avenue, north,i 200 by 1sO feet would also be an ideal location for an auditorium.
