Akron, O., Jan.

Gompers Makes Impassion-

 Laborites at Convention
 of Agriculturists.
RAILROAD QUESTION
 IS AGAIN COMING UP

Washington, Jan. 27.--union labor won victory in the national agricul- tural conference today when that body by a vote of S3 to 64 struck out of a committee report a recommendation for repeal of the Adamson eight hour law.
 The conference also struck out of the committee report recommendation for repeal of the commonly termed which fixes 6 per cent as proper re- turn for railroads. N
 Debate Is Bitter
 This action was taken after a bitter debate in which Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor denounced resolution in troduced by w. H. Stackhouse, presi- Vehicle association calling for reduc- ton of miners and railway union labor wages and also the committee report on repeal of the Adamson law. Mir. Gompers warned the farmers that after they had become thoroughly or ganized they might in the future face similar fight by interests which he said now were making drive on union labor.
 Leave 1t to Gompcrs
 The sentiment of the conference as voiced by several speakers. seemed to be that the whole matter of trans portation including wages paid to union labor and the railway question generally had better be left to con- gress and not passed on by the confer ence. Several of the delegates joined with Mir. Gompers in denouncng the proposals as an attempt to drive wedge between labor and the farmers.

HEELS

It is not often that Dame Fashion
and Hygiea pull in the same direction,
but this year they are working to-
gether to lower the high French heels.
Except in dancing shoes and slippers
and with party frocks, the unstable
high heels are tottering into disfavor,
the most popular heel being not over
an inch and half high. 1t is not the
military heel, which is straight in line
and wide, but is a substantial heel
shaped for grace. This heel is found
on house and dress shoes, while q
lower and broader heel is worn for
street, business and sports. High
heels may lead for the dance, but
| they are at the foot for the rest Of
life.

officer who promised that the matter
would be investigated. On the other
hand, the people of Garyville had TAX

"red tape" was attached to these gov

to do was to sign papers and get the

After receiving Mildred's letter,
Jimmie was tortured by the thoughts
Of the little woman, who was such
a wonderful mother and true Ameri-
can, being interned-of Mildred in a
dingy boarding house suffering lone
illness and despair because of the
conditions. The wee, small voice Of
conscience kept whispering-"and you
do not approve of laws that make a
woman citizen, no matter what the
nationality of her husband is-you do
not approve of laws that give married
women proper rights-you are in
directly the cause of this anguish and
Suffering"
These thoughts were worse than
the fire from the cannon's mouth
verse than the slush and mud of the
trenches-he wanted to die, he wanted
a bullet to tear out that heart that
conscience was gnawing at-but he
did not die. He lived-he lived to

a higher and better self.

case especially with the acts of sale of
real estate and slaves. In many
cases, too, wills are thus recorded in
duplicate, most of the originals being
in French or English, mostly in the

After the capture of Baton Rouge
and Natchez, Don Carlos Louis
Boucher de Grandpre, Captain of In
fantry in His Majesty's Army of
Louisiana-such is the official title
printed on his letter heads--was ap-
pointed Governor, civil and military,
Of the Plaza of Natchez and all its
dependencies, etc.-as the same let
terhead concludes-and Don Joseph
Vasquez Vahammonde, lieutenant of
artillery, was appointed commandant,
civil and military, of the Post Of
Baton Rouge. It is his name, there
fore, that is attached to all the legal
documents recorded in the Post OF
Baton Rouge, beginning with the year
1881 and extending to the year 1797
when Don Carlos de Grandpre (the
country north Of the 91st parallel
having been finally evacuated in con-
formity with the treaty Of 1895 be.
tween Spain and the United States)
was transferred to the governorship
civil and military, Of the Plaza Of
Baton Rouge and all its dependencies
with Don Jacobo Debreuil as com
mandant Of the post. Grandpre's sig
nature is attached to all the docu'
ments recorded from that year to thu
year 1903. It is remarkable that al
the documents that bear the signature
Of Grandpre are invariably witnessed
by Debreuil. One exception is OF in
terest. Louis de Grandpre, his son
who was killed when Thomas captured
Baton Rouge in 1910, served as {
witness to one Of the documents re-
corded in 1907. After 1903 the name
Of De Lassus is signed to the record:
until 1910.
The first recorded act Of Grandpr'
as Governor Of the Plaza Of Batol
Rouge is his signature to an oct o.
sale of real estate, on January 5
1897, by Don Jacobo Miller-he him
self signed plain "Jacob Miller
of New Feliciana. His last officia

a land where all laws are just.

After much slaughter and blood
shed, grief and anguish the end of
the war came. There were shouts
from the house-tops, the bells rang
gladly and guns were fired to an
nounce that the world was made
safe place in which to live-but is
America safe? Are the women of
America safe when they are not pro-
tected by Americas laws?
When James Callaghan| returned
from Europe's battle-fields, he did
not return with flying colors, like one
victorious, but he returned with a
heart full Of grief. He grieved be-
cause he knew what anguish Mildred
had suffered and he could hardly face
her when he thought of his having
fought the women's rights measures
in the legislature.
However, Mildred did not connect
him with her sufferings. When she
met him at the station, she put her
head upon his shoulder and sobbed out
the whole sad story. He kissed her
again and again and tried to comfort
her, but he had to swallow hard and
exert some effort to keep the tears
back himself.
When the nineteenth amendment
was under consideration at Washing
ton, the whole of Garyville, headed by
James Callaghan sent petitions and
kilograms to their representative
urging the support of the measure.
The nineteenth amendment was pas
sed, but even this does not protect
the women enough for it gave them
the ballot but did not change single
law affecting the legal status of wom-
en- as defined in the civil code.
Mildred and James were married
and all of Garyville satisfied. Callag-
han then ran for governor Of the
state of Louisiana and was elected by
a big majority.
! Governor and Mrs. Callaghan are
; now urging the support of the Wom-
ans Rights Bill, which will give
women the same rights, privileges and
, immunities under the laws of the
state as have men with respect to:
! Choice of voting domicile,
Acquiring, controlling, holding and
conveying property,
. Freedom of contract, including be-
r coming a party in any capacity to
3 negotiable instruments or evidence Of
8 indebtedness, or becoming surety or
e guarantor,
r Becoming parties litigant,
n Custody and control Of children,
and control Of earnings and services
n Of such children,
It 1mmunities or penalties for sex
e offences,
e Quarantine, examination and treat
n ment Of disease,
r And in all other respects,
). Let US hope the bill will pass!
