- WOMEN DEMANDING EQUALITY. Characterize The Darning Needle As The Devil's Invention. I The feminists have stormed the | white House, and demanded of PresiI dent Harding that he support legisWg lation which will make woman, in reIi'.* ality, the equal of man. It is said that B^Qthe president expressed the hope that 9 W^Woman might never be the equal of I man, but might continue to be his superior. W The legislation the women demand is regarded as simple on its face. But it might work a revolution in its operation. It generalizes rather than specifies, and strong and persistent effort will be necessary if it is ever to get through congress. At any rate, that seems to be the judgment of conservative members of the legislative department of the government. One of the ablest and most aggressive feminists in Washington has to a limited extent, specified Miss Gertrude Van Hoesen. in addressing a large gathering of working girls at the local Y. W. C. A., characterized the needle as the invention of the devil. When that remark came pat Mrom her lips, newspaper men sought to observe whether or not she had sacrificed judgment for pungent rhetoric. Hut, no. She meant it. "There is no inspiritation in darning socks," she continued: "or in washing and ironing ore's own shirtwaists ?at least, not for the American business woman. When Sister Sue comes home from office she must take a hand at doing up the dishes or darning Brother Bob'- socks. "No, indeed! When she pays her mother her bbard she has discharged her domestic obligation. She must not expend valuable energy in such efficiency destroying tasks as crumbing " * ? 17 KB tne linen or arymg tea cups, rw Wm father and brother never do houseM work after a hard ("ay at the office. "Did you ever see father making over last season's pants? Then why r should a womhn use up her energy in such work?" It is this idea ?*f feminine independence that the feminists are determined to write into organic law. And ther is much of divorce and illegitimacy of children, division of profits and inheritance.

Vaughn pleaded insanity and "by consent of the state's prosecuting attorney he was removed from the state penitentiary, where he was being held pending the outcome cf an appeal, to fcncnital for the insane for obser Vliv. <?vwr.^. ration. When the solicitor asked that he be brought back to Greenville to be sentenced again to the death chair the doomed man, possibly with the aid of friends or confedrates, succeeded jp'A in making his escape and has been ^.at liberty until his apprehension in a suburban town of Tampa, w Vaughn was normal enough, in his Florida home to be accepted and employed as a teacher. Evidently his con duct and actions were those of an o'dinary man, or he would have been A , dropped by his employers. 'As soi however, as he is detected and plac i under arrest the old feint of insani if. again attempted with all the ar of a good actor, and there may 1 j those who will still hold that the m; . is mentally deranged. But insane or not, why should criminal be permitted in our courts ; justice to escape lunishment on th kind of a plea? The chief object punishment is to protect society, an sane or insane, the perpetrator of i famous crimes should be speedily pu ished either by forfeiting his life < by going into enforced denial of h liberty for the rest of his days. The insanity plea is used as a coi venient makeshift to save a criminal neck or to secure interminable dela; and thus finally defeat the ends < justice. It is one of the crying sham< of our system of jurisprudence.?Ai derson Mail. o Estimated Crop Conditions. Saluda, April 9.?According to r port of B. B.
