VARDAMAN ON SUFFRAGE Mississippi Senator Discusses Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. I am not opposed to women voting, but 1 am opposed to unrestricted suffrage being extended to women such as was proposed in the defeated resolution. My position when the subject was before the senate was that the state should decide who should be given the ballot. In order to make it possible for the south to support the resolution I proposed an amendment abolishing the Fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. Without the negro being eliminated from suffrage the south cannot accept a na tion-wide suffrage law. I am not one of those who share the apprehension that women will be injured by giving her the ballot; nor do I believe that her participation in politics will lower the standard of citizenship or result detrimentally to the country. The truth about the matter is I believe, the inherent virtues and superior qualities of woman will necessarily improve anything with which she has to do. I think we are indebted to her more for what has been accomplished in America than we are to man. I would rather rely upon her intuition to lead me right; I would rather trust her heart than the ratiocinations or the painful logical processes of man. That she will become a voter in all the states of this republic in the very near future I have no more doubt than I have that tomorrow's sun will rise. That the ballot will be purified; that the influences surrounding polling places will be improved; thr.t the moral sentiment her sacred presence will generate, will write more just and wiser laws, I have not the slightest doubt, because her Influences are always elevating, always purifying, always ennobling. When the time shall come that women want to vote, when the women of the different states desire the ballot, it will be placed into their hands. In some of the states, however, a large majority of the white women do not care to vote at this time. That Is. In some of the states the conditions are such that white women would not go to the polls if permitted by law to do so. In the settlement of this question I would prefer, and I think it would be infinitely better and more in accord with the orignal plan upon which our government is builded, to leave the matter with the states. It is my great privilege to represent, in part, in the senate a state where conditions are such that the women who ought to vote in the very nature of thines could not and would not go to the polls. A decent white woman will not put herself in a position where she is to be elbowed, pushed around and insulted by a vulgar, vicious and ignorant negro woman, who has no more conception of the importance or the significance of the elective franchise than the chimpanzee is capable of comprehending or understanding the nebular hypothesis. The question may be asked why, if negro men are capable of voting, why not the negro women? To one who understands the nature of the negro an answer to that question is superfluous. Neither the man nor the woman is capable of performing properly the supreme function of citizenship, but the negro man is much more easily controlled, less turbulent and more tractable. Verily "the female of the species is more deadly than the male" in this instance. I think the most lawless and nl.nn/l/tri/v/1 OCAOtllKO ATI OUTth id thP auauuuncu vi^utuiv vu vu> ? drunken, Insolent negro woman. And, further, the white man has the physical strength and ability to command obedience and defend himself. And the negro man knows that and acts accordingly. It is unfortunate that when an economic or governmental question is presented the people of the south are confronted at once with that paramount problem, the race question. This question has resulted in the political isolation of the southern states. The white people cannot divide at all on economic issues in those states. There are probably 50,000 more adult male negroes in Mississippi than there are white men, and fully 60,000 more negro women than there are white women. A large majority of the negroes are congenitally, racially and unalterably incompetent and unfit to perform the supreme function of citizenship. You cannot educate them so as to make them capable of governing the white man, either. That accounts for the fact that our white women naturally shrink, involuntarily recoil, from participation in those public or civic functions which usually belong to men. It is the overwhelming influence which prevents them from considering the question of participating in government at the ballot box. Remove that barrier, take that impediment away, and then the women of Mississippi, the women of Arkansas, and the women of the other southern states, where the great problem is in its most acute, intense, aggravated and difficult form, may consider the question of participating with their brothers, their h*usbands and their fathers in matters of government. While these conditions exist the only safe? way to approach women suffrage is through the individual states and not by forcing it upon states that are not ready for it. If Illinois, if Pennsylvania, if any state in the Republic wants to give women the suffrage equal with the men. they have the right under their state constitution to do so. There is no difficulty about that. What will suit the people of one state may not he adaptable to conditions in another state. If you are going to preserve the Federal Union, if you are going to preserve that harmony so essential to perfect government, you must maintain, you must preserve inviolate, the autonomy, the sovereignty of the states by permitting them to exercise the sovereign power of regulating the suffrage, giving to men and giving to women. if they see fit, the right to vote. I proposed the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment and had my amendment been adopted I should have voted for the suffrage resolution. The Fifteenth amendment was not adopted for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the negro. It was one of the cruel, remorseless acts which resulted from war. designed to punish the white man and to use the negro as a pliant tool by which the country was plundered and the people of the southland humiliated. It was the child of hate. It has no place in the economy of this government. The Flftenth amendment has out lived its usefulness, if there was ever any use for it. I believe the American people are agreed that an error was committed when the Fourteenth .and Fifteenth amendments were adopted, and I believe that when the question is properly presented to them they are going to correct that error. The time to correct all mistakes is now. Until those grave mistakes are corrected the women of the south will not seek the privilege of voting.?James K. Vardaman in Philadelphia Ledger. A STONE IN THE ROAD An Old, Old Story Well Worth Telling Again. A long time ago there lived a king who took great delight in teaching his people good habits. "Bad luck comes only to the lazy and the careless," said he; "but to the busy workers, God gives the good things of this life." One night he put a large stone in the middle of the road near his palace, and then watched to see what the people who passed that way would do. Early in the morning a sturdy old farmer named Peter, came along with his heavy ox-cart loaded with corn. "O. these lazy people!" he cried. driving his oxen to one side of the road. "Here is this big stone right in the middle of the road, and nobody will take the trouble to move It." And he went on his way, scolding about the laziness of other people, but never thinking of touching the stone himself. Then came a young soldier, singing a merry song as he walked along. A gay feather was stuck In his hat, and a big sword Wang at his side; and he was fond of telling great stories of what he had done in the war. He held his head so high that he did not see the stone, but stumbled over it and fell flat into the dust. ThlB put an end to his merry song and, as he rose to his feet, he began to storm at the country people. "Silly drones!" he said, "to have no more sense than to leave a stone like that In the middle of the road!" Then he passed on, but he did not sing any more. An hour later there came down the road six merchants, with their goods on pack horses, going to the fair that was to be held near the village. When they reached me stone me rnau was so narrow that they could hardly drive their horses between it and the wall. "Did any one ever see the like?" they said. "There is that big stone in the road, and not a man in all the country but that is too lazy to move it!" And so the stone lay there for three weeks; it was in everybody's way, and yet everybody left it for somebody else to move. Then the king sent word to all his people to meet together on a certain day near his palace, as he had something to tell them. The day came, and a great crowd of men and women gathered in the road. Old Peter, the farmer, was there; and so were the merchants and the young soldier. "I hope that the king will not find out what a lazy set of people he has around him," said Peter. And then the sound of a horn was heard, and the king was seen coming toward them. He rode up to the stone, got down from his horse and said: "My friends, it was I who put this stone here, three weeks ago. It has been seen by everyone of you; and yet everyone has left it just where it was, and scolded his neighbor for not moving it out of the way." Then he stooped down and rolled the stone over. Underneath the stone was a round, hollow place, in which was a small iron box. The king held up the box so that the people might see what was written on a piece of paper fastened to it. There were the words: "For him who lifts the stone." He opened the box, turned it upside down, and out of it fell a beautiful gold ring and twenty bright gold coins. Then everyone wished that he had only thought of moving the stone instead of going around it and finding fault with his neighbor. There are many people still who lose prizes because they think it easier to find fault than to do the work which lies before them. Such people do not usually blame themselves, but think it is all on account of bad luck and hard times.?Southern Presbyterian. / > r- r> u A M ODIMinM Newspapers Give Different Ideas of Mexican Situation. "President Huerta's demand is undisguised mockery of the United States," the Frankfurter Zeitung declares. "It goes without saying that Washington cannot tolerate this. Nobody can reproach President Wilson if he now abandons his reserve and proceeds against Huerta with a blockade and occupation of Mexico's harbors." Huerta's refusal to salute the United States tlag the Boersen Couried deems "the first admission that he does not feel sure of his position and is now playing his last trump earlier than was expected?namely the policy of rallying all elements in Mexico against the foreign aggressor." Indicating the attitude of the German government, the Cologne Gazette states: "The German people have no reason to oppose the course of the United States with an unfriendly policy, which, besides having no object, would only injure relations with the United States. Recent developments in Mexico can only be regretted as far as they affect German interests. If the Americans now succeed in establishing order and peace in that country there can be no objection from the German standpoint. The American people who have been kept in a state of continued unrest by Mexican affairs since the departure of Gen. Porfirio Diaz, earnestly want at least to see peace established across their southern frontier and to see a government there which will give security to the country anil not endanger the huge interests of America in the Panama Canal. President Huerta has sufficiently shown that he does not answer to this necessity, but prefers to act and to be accounted as an enemy of the United States. He knows President Wilson will resort to force against him only in the last extremity, and in that certainty has pursued a policy of opposition to America." The Deutsche Tageszeitung condemns President Wilson's long delay and is uncertain whether he now intends to act or only to create an impression that he is about to act. "What will Japan, the natural enemy of the United States, do and what will the other powers do?" asks the Taegliche Rundachau, which regards President Wilson's policy as "neither one of realities nor one of idealism, but of Democratic visionary theory." Occasional Standstill.?"A member of congress should always keep in the middle of the road and go straight ahead." "Not always. There are times when he is required to stop, look and listen." ?

Thomaa Jefferson once said there was nothing true In the newspaper except the advertisements, and any delver into local history who has had occasion to pore over the flies in the public library, or in the New York Historical society, will admit that the advertisements are the most interesting part of the paper, .ilore real information regarding the manners and customs of the people, their modes of travel, the things they ate and wore, the books they read and their amusements is to be fcund in the advertising columns than in those parts of the paper devoted to what was termed news in those days. The editor of the New York Gazette and Weekly Post of November 21, t 17-40 uoi/1 fhnt ho foo rc/1 t n nnhliuh t 1 I 1U| OUrlU bltMh IIV V VJ vv? liUUliW* news of local Interest for fear his 1 readers shoulu tell him that they already knew it. C "In this dearth of news," he said, "if s we poor news writers happen to add 1 anything of our own we are generally s soon whipped up or blamed for mak- s ing free with other people's affairs. Indeed, some of us have lately informed the public of strange news and then added: 'Good news, if true, but no grounds to believe It.' " Then he launches into a complaint against the increasing high cost of living, which shows that the difficulties of the present day were not unknown to the residents of New York more than a century and a half ago: "All the common necessities of life in this city." says the New York Ga zette editor, "continue to grow so dear, as must soon impoverish our poor citizens' pockets unless they have better means to supply them than we have. Firewood is $7.75 to $8.50 a cord; butter, 25c to 28c per pound, und (lour so dear that it is a shame to mention." It was several years after the establishment of newspapers in America before advertising in them became popular. John Campbell, the postmaster of Boston, who in 1704 started the Boston News Better, the first real newspaper in this country, had great difficulty in persuading his neighbors to advertise their wares. William Bradford and Peter Zenger, in this city, were no more fortunate in the early years of their newspaper publications, and even Benjamin Franklin years after he began publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette, found his advertising columns very meagre. One learns from these early advertising columns about negro slavery in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. In 1733 the New York Gazette advertises: "A likely negro girl for town or country: has had the smallpox. She is about 15 years old. Also to be sold sundry drugs and medicines by John Brlggs over against the Meat Market." On morning in 1777 this item appeared in the same paper: "A negro wench, ran away, supposed to Flatbush, Long Island, where she was lately purchased of Cornelius Van Der Veer, Jr.; is about 23 years old and is called Betty. Can speak both Dutch and English; Is of a stubborn disposition, especially when she drinks spiritous liquors, which she is sometimes too fond of. She is a pretty clout wench, but not tall, smoothfaced and pretty black. Whoever harbors her will be prosecuted, but such as give information to William Tongue, her owner, in Hanover sq., shall receive ?f> reward with th. ks." This item, which reveals the custom of selling the time of Indentured servants, is taken from Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette of 1765; Servants now remaining on board the ship Neptune, near Willing and Morris' wharf, and to be sold very cheap for cash or short credit, by John Hart, a few Irish servants, men, wo- ] men and boys, among which are the ( following trades, viz: Hatters, hostlers, weavers, carpenters, wool combers, 1 dyers, barbers, cutters, butchers, rope makers, plasters, farmers and Is.bor- j. ers. v Here is an advertisement from a c Philadelphia paper of 1746: * 1 T\??K _ mury i^anci iruiu nic v;?ij ui i/uu lin, at Mr. Burk's perriwlg maker In Front street, between Chestnut and Walnut streets, makes and sells all 1 sorts of gentlemen's velvet caps, leather, &c.; also ladles' t.nd children's caps, mantilets, pillareemi, hoods, bonnets, long and short cloaks, mantles and scarfs, with black bags and roses for gentlemen's hair or wigs; all which she makes after the neatest and new- ? est fashions and very cfceap." Samuel Fraunces, the popular tavern keeper of New York, whose alehouse is still standing at Broad and ^ Pearl streets, where Washington bade farewell to his officers, was a frequent advertiser. Before the revolution his c house was known as the Queen's Head v Tavern. Some idea of tie service he was prepared to give may be gleaned from his advertisements in 1773: "The subscriber, desirous to accom- c module the respectable inhabitants of a this city to the utmost of his power, has fitted up a large, commodious I room in the lower part of the house ( for the reception and entertainment of such persons who may choose to regale themselves with fbie ale of this country produce, equal tc any import- ] ed; also, draft or bottled porter from ^ London of the first quality, neat wines t of different spirits, punch and other ? liquors. At any time in the day or t evening, beefsteak, mutton or pork * chops, veal steaks, or cutlets, fry'd c oysters, etc.. served In the neatest manner." 3 Robert O. Livingston, Jr., advertis- ~ es in 1773 that he has a: his store in Dock street a great variety of men's 1 plain-ribbed and flo\ver?d silk hose, t corded chintzes for ladies' gowns, 3 nandsome gauze aprons and sundry ither goods. Peter and George Lorillard, the 'amous tobaeeonists, announced in 1776 that at their store, 30 Chatham itreet. near the Jail, they had for sale 'Kitfoot and common smoking tobac;o, Rappee, Strasburgh and Segars, slgtail and plug tobacco and Curacoa muffs." They say that they have erected mills for manufacturing Raplee and Scotch snuff in large quantises warranted equal in quality to any >n the continent. Paul Revere, whose fame rests upon lis midnight ride, advertises in a Bos:on paper of 1765 that he and Josiah Plagg have published a collection of he best psalm tunes In two, three and 'our parts, to which are added some lymns H.J1U uimifiiia. mc Ricaici pa u lever before printed in America.

The remains of an eagle, not only the largest one ever killed In the Rockies, but one which played an important part in a romance of the Colvllle Indians many years ago, who have half of the Colville reservation. The bird, with a spread of seven feet, is the property of Clair Hunt, allotting a^ent for the Indians on the south half of the Colvillle reservation. The ragle is credited by the Indians with saving a man's life and indirectly causing a double murder. About twenty years ago two young | Indiana, twin brothers, fell in love with the most beautiful and attractive girl on the reservation. The rivalry existed for two years. Finally one captured the prize, much to the disappointment of the jealous brother.
