STOPI LOOK AND LISTENl


At all times In the history Of the
human race, woman has been the
balance wheel. Woman in all ages
Of the world has tried to elevate
and lift up the human race to
higher plane. Good women out
number the bad ones and they have
been the mainstay of the church In
all the Christian era.
For many, many years women
were regarded the world over as
mans mere chattles. Even in the
early days Of our own history women
were brought over from England
and other parts of Europe and bar
tered and sold like slaves or cattle
into the keeping of strange men.
Women were not permitted to have
any voice or say in the ownership
or disposition Of their property, but
were considered mere personal
property themselves. Even under
such circumstances women exercised
a potent influence in advancing
civilization, until the onward march
brought good men to the view that
she was entitled to better place
In society. The first step came when
she was first allowed to run property
in her own name; second, given the
veto power over the home so that
drunken husband could not sell
or cucumber the roof over the heads
of her and her children, without her
consent Next she was given limit
ed political rights, in that she could
vote on stock laws and such things
as vitality affected her property
rights. In some states women We're
permitted to hold the office OF
librarian or school supervisors, ana
history fails to record where one
woman ever failed to faithfully dis
charge her duty to the public, and
there was never suspicion Of graft
in office.
AS early as 1890, when the present
constitution of Mississippi was adopt
ed, suffrage for women was serious
ly discussed and twice the committee
on franchise had tie vote on the
subject This tie was broken by the
chairman. Later he stated that he
had voted against equal suffrage on
account Of the pressure brought by
the opposition, although privately
he favored it. The power back IF
IuiS pIcSSu1c was tAC iA4uoi
There were at that time many open
saloons all over the state and they
were strongly organized and en-
trenched in power. Those people
who profited greatly by the saloons
could have vision Of the multi
tudes of women marching to the
polls to cast their votes. There were
thousands Of women who were then
sorely dashed by the liquor devil,
and these people realized If the
women were permitted to go to the
polls and register their wills In the
ballot box that the day Of the saloon
would soon be over.
Although women did not have the
right to be heard through the ballot
they put their slow but sure In
fluence to work, and while 1t took
more than a generation to accomplish
their ends, they have at last acquired
the right of self expression in the
affairs Of government. Since women
have acquired this right, let us re-
peat it again, they should use 1t
wisely and well.
Let them stop, look and listen be-
fore they undertake to move; let
them not speak until they think
twice, or write until they think three
times Let them be sure they are
right and then proceed fearlessly.
The influence of women will then be

WOULD COMBINE
BORDER PATROLS
and Alien Running-BOotleggfng
Like Old Piracy.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Consid-
Grafton is being given by the labor,
treasury and agriculture departments to
the coordination of all the federal po-
lice forces along the nations borders to
the end that smuggling Of narcotics,
liquor and aliens may be more effectively
checked.
4 committee of representatives of the
three departments and Of the department
of justice, it was learned yesterday, has
completed an investigation and reached
the conclusion that there must be closer
cooperation between all federal govern
ment forces.
The recommendations of this commit
tee, which was headed by Commissioners
General Husband of the immigration
committee. have been presented to Secre-
tary of Labor Davis and viii in turn be
considered by the heads of other depart
ments.
The committee pointed out that the
Canadian and Mexican borders were be
ing patrolled by the United States pub
lie health, the customs, the prohibition
enforcement, and immigration services,
the coastguard, and the federal horti-
cultural board.
Coordination of these federal police
forces, Commissioner General Husband
reported on behalf of the committee,
would seriously cripple the ''bootlegging
industry" and minimize smuggling of
drugs and aliens across the borders
The bootlegging industry" Mr.. Hus-
band added. had become menace along
both the Canadian and Mexican borders
and rivaled the days when piracy was
in full swing"
A report has been received by Mr..
Husband describing the wOunding of
Immigration Inspector Savage at Alex
andra Bay by q notorious bOotlegger,
and adding that 1t was unfortunate that
immigration inspectors must be called
uCon to cndanger their lives, but unless
there is full cooperation between all
der, certain laws are bound to become
laughing stock"
Tie attitude of departments other
than labor toward the coordination has
not been definitely defined Secretary
Mellon. replying to the initial sugges-
ton of Secretary Davis said that the
nature Of the services performed by the
different branches of the government Is
so varied that l doubt whether their ac-
tivitios could be effectively consolidated
or supervised by one administrative off
Ger.
Secretary Wallace has expressed the
belief that the work done by experts of
his department along the Mexican Dor
der was a highly technical business and
not only could not be carried on by per
sons who have not had technical train
ing. but could not be intelIigently adj
ministered by anyone who had not had
such training"
Both Secretaries Mellon and Wallace,
however. were said to feel that some
steps toward cooperation could be
taken.

All the tors were found to be identical on comparison today.
