“More Logic.”
Under the above caption, “E. A. G.”
goes “over into Macedonia” to the
help of the Aiken Standard’s editor in
reply to The People’s editorial of week
before last. The writer quotes the
following excerpt, “but we are frank
to say that so long as the militant
minority insisto on makirig fools of
themselves, just so long will the wo
men as a whole be deprived of the bal
lot,” and holds up his or her hands in
holy horror, aghast at the idea that an
editor should express such an opinion.
And herein is where “E. A. G.” jumped
at conclusions. In the excerpt quoted,
the editor of The People was not ex-^
pressing an opinion but was merely
stating a fact, ^e venture the state
ment that neither “E. A. G.” nor Mrs.
Duncan herself will deny that the out
rageous campaign carried on in Wash
ington has hurt the cause of woman
Suffrage almost beyond repair, and
our statement that “so long as the
militant minority insists on making
fools of themselves, just so long will
the women as a whole be deprived of
the ballot” is amply supported by the
recent vote in Congress, when the
Susan B. Anthony amendment was lost
by the narrow margin of one vote,
following the burning in effigy of
President Wilaon on the Sunday pre
vious. We believe that but for that
and other disgraceful affairs Congress
would have granted women the right
to vote. Hence, M E. A. G.’s” criticism
of The People is, it seems to us, out
pf order.

— ft how appears that what The Peo
ple mistook at a gibe at ita and the
Aikan Journal and Review's stand in
t the Congressional campaign of last
year was merely clever camouflage to
cloak an earnest defjrc on the part of
the Aiken Standard to discuss the
fueation of woman suffrage. At least,
that is what we gathered from a
signed editorial in last week’s issue
I of that more or less esteemed contem
porary, in the course of which our re
ply was characterised as a "defense.”
^ J The Lor^ help you. lady^we done
1 nuehml-thatrequires a defense.
As The Aiken Standard's ally says,
“there are many arguments against
the woman securing the ballot which
are well worth attention,” chief among
which is the old-fashioned, solidly
* founded convictions that s woman’s
sphere is the home, and for the infor
mation of our critic we will state that
that is both a fact and our editorial
opinion.
Since men have made such a mess
of politics, if we act on the theory that
“the female of the species is more
deadly than the male,” would it be
safe to trust the women with the bal-

■ Suwr-Sii leadership m* f irst established on the speed-
waJ There it showed such performance and endurance
as immediately placed it in the front as the greatest stock
car that had ever attempted such feats.
But present Hudson leadership does not rest upon what
it has done in establishing the best time for one hour, or
for onediundred miles, or for its twenty-four hour perfor
mance; or for having made the best time ip the greatest
hill climb that was ever held, when it climbed to the top
of Pike’s Peak. The Super-Six is not distinguished be
cause of any one notable performance, although it holds
more such records than any other car.
The greatest proof of Hudson leadership is shown by
the way in which 60,000 Super-Six owners are satisfied
with their cars. < *

Hudson body designs too are the standaid of motordom.
Everyone in touch with motor car development knows
how the Sedan, the Touring Limousine, the Speedster, the
Cabriolet, the Limousine and the Town Car, models that
first appeared on the Super-Six chassis, have served as
patterns for other cars. Hudson owners always get the
advance models. * . .. . jt /->
Full production of Hudsons will not be reached before
June. Until then buyers of open models will have to sup
ply their wants from the limited stocks of those few deal
ers who may have such*cars.
In almost every locality the Hudson Super-Six is not
only the largest in number among fine cars, it is regarded
as the fine car. In many sections it is the only fine car
Jo be found.

STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky^ says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, 1 would spit it up. 1 began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, 1 would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
no good at ill for my trouble. 1 heard
