Will Appeal to President Shippers in Spokane and the district tributary to it, headed by A. W. Do land, president of the Spokane Mer chants' association, wearied of the re peated delays, evasions and numerous postponements by the Interstate Com merce Commission in the Spokane rate case against the transcontinental rail roads, are discussing plans to appeal to President Roosevelt to bring about an early decision in this now famous liti gation. The Spokane case was the first instituted under the new interstate ' commerce law, which became effective ! January 1, 1907. The chief complaint ' is that the carriers are discriminating j against this city and the immediate i territory. The suit, which was insti I tuted in the name of the Spokane cham i ber of commerce and other organiza tions, seeks equitable rates from east ern points to this city. Notice C. A. R. and W. R. C.

WOMAN'S IheJourralisin receipt of n com-1 municatiun from one of its many read- era which it prints below. It must nut be understood as endorsing or oppos-1 ing any of the sentiments of the writer, . nor as committing itself to the advocacy t or opposition of the cause advanced by j the writer. It is a well written article and is deserving of careful study by all. Editor News-Herald. Dear Sir: In view of the fact that your article everywhere and always; for when wo sgainst "Woman Suffrage was especial- j man nas the iHt, she will vote solid ly scathing and fossilized, "the lips of or prohibition. Sheassumes toomuch." every respecting woman" should be i What is thu assumption of man when ouened in tirotest. In nuntinir Lincoln I he represents a woman who does not why 'lid you forget to mention that be was in favor of woman suffrage? So were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Vk. Longfellow, John G. Whittier, William H. Seward, Chief Justice Chase, Chas. Kingsky, Herbert Spencer, Dr. Talmage, Bishop Potter, Bishop Spaul ding of the Catholic church, and many of the great editors and literary men who have worked for this cause. Among women, we can cite the names of Florence Nightingale, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa M. Aloott, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. These women were" self-respecting" and were respected by the whole world. Susan B. Anthony, who bore the gibs and ridicule and social frowns for long years, died honored and mourned by all nations. William McKinley, in the beautiful words you quote, veiled no insult to the women who wished for the ballot as a protection for their homes. If the suf fragist is an "agitator," the agitating is always on the side of morality and better conditions and it is barely pos sible that in every city Fome politicians would rather see the dregs not stirred up. "She never did anything." In Colo rado the following laws were indorsed jind t assed by the efforts of the women: Women are co equal guardians of their children. The age of consent was raised to eighteen. A state home for dependent children established, alsoa state industrial school THE An article addressed to the "Editor I News-Herald" appeared in an 0j. scure place in an tqually obscure sheet, hut by chance it came to the notice of the writer, and in another column we reproduce it. Evidently the author of that article was ashamed to send it to the editor of the News-Herald, and from the way the article was signed, she was evidently ashamed of her own ofT-snring. We cannot blame the por mortal in the least; we would be asham ed of the thing ourself. Like the skunk and the porcupine.THE suffragist may be said to have a habi tat, but no home. Home is a sacred place. The American home is the bul wark of the republic. Home is more than habitat, it is that sacred institu tion, where the true wife and mother, not suffragist, preside: where they teach the boys and girls purity of life and thought, and point the way to use fulness and distinction. We thank God, we were reared in a sacred home, and not in the habitat of the suffragist. Yes, Colorado is ruled so to speak by THE suffragist, and, yet, Colorado has not inai coveieu prohibition. No. no, Colorado, ruled by suffragists, isknown far and wide as the most debauched, ' duties; but they do not lie in this direc prostituted, and corrupted electorate ' tion. within the union that Abraham Lin- i Make home blessed and sacred and coin saved. Yes, Colorado enacted laws establish - ing "a state home for dependent child ren," also "a state industrial school for girls." Home and children! Oh, hang the home and children! Give us the state asylums for dependent children, and industrial schools for girls, and PURELY Items of Interest Concerning the Going and Coming of People You Know George Thomas of Omaha spent Sun day in the city. Ralph White of Nebraska City spent Sunday with home folks in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richardson of South Omaha were Sunday visitors in this city. Mrs. I. T. Kuntz and babe left Mon day for Central City to visit her par ents for a time Mrs.S. E.McElwain is home again j after a visit of several weeks with her i Bona in Kansas City. ! Mrs. Mary Fiala went to Omaha to ' spend a few days with her daughter, ! j Mrs. John Nemetz at the hospital. j l The High School debate between Plattsmouth and Aubnrn takes place at the school building this evening. I Mrs. R. P. Wright and son who have been visiting Mrs. Wrights' parents, Isaac Hopkins and wife, departed for their home Monday. Mesdames N. A. Ieist andC. S.

SUFFRAGE. for girls, and the Human made' u state institution. r.e Society was A dozen other ler.ifiicial laws have been endorsed ar.d carried by the j women, isiul of the best was the elec-i tion of .luilge 1. Lindsey. The brewers seem to think the wo men can "do something," for at one of their conventions they made this resolu tion by unanimous vote: "Resolved, That we are opposed to woman suffrage assent to the representation? How about our fore-fathers and th j "Stamp Act." The opinion of "fifty women" is a very meager test on which to base the desires of American women. To most of the leading men, the strongest reason for granting suffrage to women is that the foremost women of the land, who are devoting themselves to the up lifting of humanity are declaring that !'n the interests of their work it is nceesatuy that the ballot be given to woman. "There is no real reason nor demand for woman suffrage." The demand now is most urgent for temperance reform is sweeping over the hand and if wo men could vote the life of the saloon would be very short. Temperance wo men became suffragists because they were forced to be. They learned that a disfranchised person whether idiot, lunatic, convict, Indian or woman, is a cipher, so they were converted to wo man suffrage. Consistency to our cause compels us to seek the powerful weapon of the ballot, for it is the only effective measure for the defense of her home and children. "Mankind cannot rise above the mother of mankind." The "human question" lies at the foundation of the "woman question." The apositle Paul is often quoted to women. He also wrote, "There is neither bond or free, there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus." A Subscriber. February 4, 1909. REPLY. woman suffrage, poodle dogs, and the liKe. l.et the man, who dares to say the Christian home, where mothers teach their boys purity of life and thought, and point the way to useful ness and distinction, is the nation's greatest safeguard, be tarred and feath ered. (live us woman's suffrage, and teach the daughters of the land that their mission is not to make homes, but to get into politics and business. Aye! the home of the fathers must give w ay to the habitat of the suffragist. Since the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, there have been auffragists. Yes, there was Jezebel in the days of Solomon, the mother of Jesus was not. Then there was Cleopatra cf f.gypt. And in our own day and country, there was Susan Beatrice Anthony. Lily Langtry, Mary Ellen Lease, Belva Lockward, Carrie ' Nation, Mrs. Chadwick and Mrs. Catt, all suffragists. ,The very day that woman draggles her petticoats in the mire of politics, mingles with the rabble of the street we may bid good-bye to the home and the institution of marriage and society will rapidly relapse into barbarism i Woman has her rights, as well as her let it adorn tho worl l, that is a every proud ' living man may say, pleasure to me to be able to credit to my wife ar.d mother whatever good things my fellow countrymen ascribe to me."
