POOR LITTLE RICH COY

One used to hear of the poor Iftfso
rich girl But now it is the poor lit
tie rich boy He is so helpless that he
must be protected against himself
DR. Wilbur F. Crafts, head OF the
international reform bureau of Wash
ington, who is credited with being
the most active prepayment of code
of bEBe Jaws. is seriously urging upon
congress the enactment of bill pro-
hibiting marriages for thirty days
after the announcement of an engage
ment, so that it will be impossible
for an actress to get the son of rich
man drunk and marry him before he
gets sober"
Not so long ago we were consider
ing laws to protect the poor show girl
against the seductive charms OF the
wealthy johnnie" but now the shoe,
so TO speak, is ON the other foot, and
today, we are told, it is the chorus
girl that is seducing and running the
rich mans son.
We certainly have travelled long
way since the war

WoMAws STATUS IN FLORIDA

The Woman's National party sees
sitting on iuries in Florida as was
pointed out by State Attorney Scofeld
in the last issue Of the Banner
Speaking of the status of woman in
this State the Investigation shows
the following:
In Florida women are under the
domination of the old English common
law to a greater extent than perhaps
any other state in the Union Ac-
cording to the common law a man
and his wife are one person and that
person is the husband A married wo-
man could make no contract of any
kind" This is true in Florida today
with a few exceptions. .~r.a
Even the wife's separate property
in Florida is controlled bye her hus-
band; she may not sue him to secure
an accounting of what he has done
with her own money.
"A married woman cannot become a
responsible public merchant unless
the court gives her permission. The
promissory note of married woman
is void; she is not able to enter into
legal partnership. A court decision
has ruled that married woman does
not have the right to hire domestic
servants.
"A married woman working in a
business distinct from her husband
may control her own earnings, but
if she works in her husbands bust
ness or at home, for instance, keep
ing boarders, her earnings are her
husbands.
1.-THE father controls his children.
the mother is the sole guardian of her
illegitimate child He may appoint
guardians for his children born or
unborn, by deed or will, taking them
entirely away from the mother. A
careful review of all. important decis-
ions in suits between parents shows
only four cases where the custody of
child was awarded to it's mother.
The father alone cam collect damages
for the death of a minor child; he can
even collect for the mental pain and
suffering of the mother in such cases.
The married woman's domicile is
that of her husband.
Women may be- excluded from pub
lie office in cases where, bonds are re-
quired since married women are not
authorized to give bonds.
Women are not eligible to Jury
service.
Women are not admitted to the.

THE MARCH OF SCIENCE


1t is not too much to say that the
workers in every department of
science are making the most marvel

They are making conquest of
earth, sea and air and all that in them

What the end is to be no one can

rather on our farm page week before
last, an article giving a full descrip.
ton of how milk is being made from
rice, including butter and cheese and
other bi.products.
So if all the cattle and other milk
producing animals are destroyed the
future generations who are to in
habit the earth will not be deprived
OF those articles which for genera
tons past and present have been re-
garded as household necessities.
Then last week in the same depart
ment we printed a most interesting
article on corn and corn products, ?
which appear to be so remarkable as
TO be almost unbelievable.
Science has had the little grain
of corn under the magnifying glass
and has made il yield hundreds OF
foodstuffs for both man and beast
The results from these inyesti

LYNcHINe AND OTHER METHODS
OF MURDER


This paper is as much opposed to
lynchings as any paper in the United
States
It's editor has never engaged in a
lynching; he has never witnessed a
lynching and hopes never to do SO.
He has all his life opposed all
forms of lawlessness and violence and
especially mob violence, but at the
same time he thinks that other me-
thods of murder occurring in other
sections of the country are as bad
or even worse than the types of muir
der occurring in the South, and so
he does not think that the pot should
constantly be calling the kettle black.
In the South, perhaps, ninety-nine
per cent of those who are lynched
are deserving of death, and would be
50 pronounced by jury of the 7
peers If tried in court of justice,
while those in other sections of the
country who are victims of violence
by daggers, stilettos, pistols, clubs,
bombs, dynamite, sand-bags, and 9th
er instruments of murder, are promin-
ent, worthy, unoffending citizens and
whose deaths are in every way lament
able
Yet no records are made of those
assassinations, and though they may
be made by the score it does not
count as black mark of violence and
disorder against their respective sec
tions.
Why keep record of lynchings
against the South and no record of
other and fouler methods of murder
occurring in other sections?
Why?
And why enact federal legislation
against the one and not against the
other?
1t is high time that all sectors
should be treated alike
The statement may not be true, but
we believe it to be true that there is
less violence in the South ten to one
than in any other section of the Unit
ed States.
AS We write the Associated Press is
carrying story that New York
police officer has just retired after a
career in which ne captured three
hundred murderers. If this officer
captu ed as many as three hundred
what must be the aggregate record of
the thousand other officers serving
with him?
Suppose it were possible for such
record to be made in any city or dis
trict in the South, would it not be al
luded to with upIifted hands of hor-
ror?
The story would simply be appalling

tional wealth we are compelled to
add to the national debt.
Now, that is what Henry Ford
wants to prevent He thinks it is
stupid, and so do, l, that for the loan
of $30,000.000 of their own money the
people of the United States should be
compelled to pay $66,OOO, OOO-that is
what it amounts to, with interest
People who will not turn a shovelful
of dirt nor contribute a pound of ma
terial will collect more money from
the United States than will the peo-
pie who supply the material and do
the work That is the terrible thing
about interest. In all our great bond
issues the interest is always greater
than the principal. All of the great
public works cost more than twice
the actual cost, on that account. Under
the present system of doing business
we simply add 100 to $50 per cent
to the stated cost.
But here is the point: If our ma
ton can issue a dollar bond it can
issue a dollar bill The element that
makes the bond good makes the bill
good, also. The difference between
the bond and the bill is that the bond

the amount of the bond and an addi-
tional 20 per cent whereas the cur
rency pays nobody but those who
directly contribute to Muscle Shoals
in some useful way.
IF the Government issues bonds, it
simply induces the money brokers to
draw $50, 100000 out of the other chan
nels of trade and turn it into Muscle
Shoals; if the Government issues cur
rency, it provides itself with enough
money to increase the national wealth
at Muscle Shoals without disturbing
The business of the rest of the coun-
try And in doing this it increases
its income without adding a penny
to its debt.
1T is absurd to say that our coun-
try can issue $3O,O00,O00 in bonds and
not $3O,O00,OOO in currency. Both are
promises to pay. but one promise fat
tens the usurer, and the other helps
the people. II the currency issued
by the Government were no good,
then the bonds issued would be no
good either. 1t is a terrible situation
when the Government, to increase the
national wealth, must go into debt and
submit to ruinous interest charges at
the hands of men who control the
fictitious values of gold
Look at it another way The bonds
will be negotiable; they will be con-
sidered as gilt-edge paper. Why?
Because the Government is behind
them, but who is behind the Govern
ment? The people. Therefore it is
the people who constitute the basis
OF Government credit Why then can
not the people have the benefit of
their own gilt-edged credit by receiy-
ing non-interest bearing currency ON
Muscle Shoals, instead of the bankers
receiving the benefit of the people's
credit in interest bearing bondss
The people must pay any way; why
should they be compelled to pay twice,
as the bond system compels them to
pay? The people of the United States
always accept their Governments cur.
