The Suffragist Movement in the United States May Fore
. shadow a Women’s Revolution Which Witt Affect -
the Destinies of the Whole Race.
New York .City.—ln a remarkable
editorial The World writes as follows
about a quiet revolution that is be
ing wrought by the women of the
United States:
A REVOLUTION.
Here are these three matters of
fact: The spread of the suffragist
movement despite the laughter of a
world of men; the general invasion
of industrial fields by women; wives
outnumbering husbands two to one
as plaintiffs in the 945,000 divorce
cases of the last twenty years in the
United States.
It is customary to treat separately
the three issues thus presented. They
are all manifestations of one general
movement—a Revolution of Women,
due chiefly to the new industrial re
gime under which a. woman can do
WOMEN LED REVOLUTION IN TURKEY.
New York City.—The Rev. Charles
E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway
Tabernacle, recently returned from
Turkey, where he was at the time the
Sultan's declaration of the new con
stitution was announced, spoke be
fore the Baptist Ministers’ Confer
ence, in the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church Hall, on the “New Regime”
in Turkey.
He described the Sultan going to
church with his thirty wives and said
the Sultan painted his cheeks and
dyed his hair. No monarch in the
world, he said, had such a gang of
scoundrels and thieves around him
as had the Sultan of Turkey before
the next constitution went into effect.
Since that time the 25,0 00 spies had

Woman is no longer afraid of free

Spinsterhood has ceased to be inevi
tably a burden. Marriage when it
becomes a disaster or a despotism
need no longer be borne as the pen
alty of dependency. In her new spirit
of independence woman may turn
naturally enough to politics, though
the suffragist movement in the United
States is thus far least important
among feminist agitations.

Forty Turkish women, the preach

in carrying on the revolution in Tur

of the empire in behalf of the pa

by thousands of others since the con

Says Railroads Control
Most Federal Judges.
Lawrence,Kan.- —At a State confer
ence here over State legislation, J. L.
Bristow, former Assistant Postmast
er-General, who will succeed Chester
L. Long in the United States Senate,
declared that the railroads control
most of the Federal Judges, and that
better care should be exercised in the
selection of Judges.
“Lawyers should be chosen,” said
he, “who have affiliated with
the railroads or other big corpora
tions.”
EDITOR’S EYES OPENED.
Surprised to Discover a Student of
His Educational Departments.
A knock at the door.
The magazine editor stopped shov
ing rejection slips into the self-ad
dressed stamped envelopes, took the
stogie from his mouth, spit into the
waste-basket, and yelled, “Come in!”
The door opened with determina
tion, and an individual walked in
who looked as if he were a prosper
ous business man. At this sight the
editor arose, politely placed a chair
for his distinguished-looking visitor,
and assumed the genial air which he
used with advertisers in his maga
zine.
“What can I do for you, sir?” he
asked.
“I have called,” began the prosper
ous-looking gentleman, “I have called
to see you in regard to a small mat
ter which I believe will result tq
our mutual advantage. lam not en
croaching upon your time?”
“Certainly not!” responded the
editor.
“You have a nice little magazine,
and from the advertising pages ”
“Yes, our-circulation, in round
numbers, is 294,587,634,657,” inter
rupted the editor.
“As I was saying, from the adver
tising pages to the front cover, it is
as good a literary article as is on the
news-stands to-day.”
“Thank you, sir,” said the editor,
in an axle-grease voice.
“From the. appearance of your
periodical, I should judge that you
are very liberal in your attitude to
ward your subscribers and your .con
tributors.”
“Yes, sir,” said the editor. But
there was a slight hitch in his voice.
“Now here I have a very clever
little thing called ‘The Beauties of
Spring.’ ” He took a roll of manu
script from an inside pocket.
The magazine editor was so badly
shocked that he knocked off the pot
of paste and upset the waste-bas
ket.
“You’re not a poet?” he gasped,
incredulously.
“Yes,” answered the prosperous
looking individual simply.
“But your clothes!” shrieked the
editor. “They are in style, they fit;<
collar and shirt are the latest
design; your tie is not one of those
flowing Lord Byron hows!”
“I know it,” replied the poet quiet
ly. “You see, I’ve beeh reading your
department called, ‘The Correctly
Dressed Man.’ It was there that I
learned.”
The editor was mystified. “But
the quality! You are dressed in the
very best—that takes money!”
“I know,” said the poet. “I’ve
made money; Ive been reading your
page on ‘Safe Investments.’ ”
“But your air of confidence, your
poise, your way c 1 introducing your
self and your business! You don’t
act like a poet.”
“Time was when I was bashful,
and I used to sneak Into an editorial
office as if I had stolen something,”
responded the poet quietly; “but your
column on the ‘Development,Jß the
Personality’ helped me.”
“Well, don’t that beat Ed Bock!”
said the astonished editor, reaching
for his check-book, and taking his
fountain-pen off his ear. “Here, I’ll
take your stuff. I never had any
idea any one ever read those depart
ments.”—Donald A. Kahn, in Judge.
PASSING OF TRAIRIE CHICKENS.
Wise Bird That Knows Too Much To
Make Nest in Harvest Fields.
If a jury of students of nature from
the Kansas prairies is ever gathered
together and the question put to
them: “What is causing the disap
pearance of the prairie chicken?”
they would not all answer, “Hunt
ers.”
Very probably there would be a
hung jury, and the unexpected ver
dict of that part of the jury refus
ing to lay the blame on the gunnery
would be: “The passing of wild
prairie hay.” A ppairie chicken is a
pretty wise bird. She will not lay
eggs in tame hay. Somehow she
knows that a mean looking machine
with big cutting blades will soon
come along and sweep the field of its
mantle of green glory and expose her
nest to the elements, robbers and
other devastators. She shuns the
tame grass but seeks the prairie hay.
If a prairie hen, say men who claim
to know, cannot find wild hay fields
in which to build her nest she will
go “dry.”
But the pheasant Is not so wise.
This bird is being “planted” in Kan
sas by the State game warden. It is
an imported bird and does not yet
know the “Kansas language.” Strange
to say, it is alfalfa that proves the
pheasant’s chief etfemy. She will
build her nest in the alfalfa fields
and then later shriek like blazes be
cause the mower has swept her nice
shady home away. The frequent cut
ting of alfalfa does not even give the
pheasant mother a chance to fix up
one good “setting” and get them good
and warm. —Kansas City Journal.
Did as He Was Told.
A well known Brooklyn clergyman
in a talk to his Sunday-school urged
the children to speak to him when
ever they met. The next day a dirty
faced urchin accosted him in the
street with, “How do, doc?
The clergyman stopped and cor
dially inquired, “And who are jou,
sir?”
one of your little lambs, re
plied the boy, affably. “Fine day!”
And, tilting bis hat to the of
bis head, he swaggered off, leaving
the worthy divine speechless with
amazement. —Democratic 1 elegi am.
The Broken Bottle Symbol.
The breaking of a bottle over the
bow of a vessel at launching seems
to be taken by many people as hav
ing a convivial, a sort of hene’s-look
ing-at-you significance, but nothing of
the kind Is meant, neither has it any
association with Christian baptism
for the name cf p, man of war is
given months before the launching.
The real thing typified is sacrifice.
Building a town or setting a ship
afloat was a solemn matter away back
in the dim past and such an act was
not to be undertaken without devot
ing a life to propitiate the gods. Our
refined and humane civilization no
longer dares to offer up a prisoner
or a slave on such occasions and
therefore a bottle is broken to sym
bolize the taking of a man’s life.

TONS OF BEET SUGAR.
We Make Half a Million Every Year
in This Country.
One of the most important of the
industries developed in recent years
is the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More cr Less desultory work
was done on sugar beets as far
back as 1867. In 1,892 only six fac
tories were in operation in this coun
try, the combined output of which
was a little over 27,000,000 pounds of
augar.
According to the National Maga
zine, there are now no less than six
ty-four factories in operation, with a
combined output of approximately
500,000 short tons of sugar manu
factured from beets, with a factory
value of $45,000,000.
One most important factor has
been the production of a high grade
sugar beet seed. For many years
American growers have been depend
ent almost exclusively on foreign
Countries for our sugar beet seed, but
for three or four years past the Do--
partment of Agriculture has been en
couraging the successful growth of
sugar beet seed in this country. It
has shown that the seed can be great
ly improved by breeding, tests of
beets from American grown seed run
ning as high as 17, 18 and sometimes
20 per cent, sugar.
The Department is also continuing
Investigations to determine the best
localities for sugar beet production.
When we remember that less than
one-fifth of the sugar consumed in
this country is produced In the States
it is plain that there is abundant op
portunity for development; and it is
certain that wherever a sugar factory
is located labor is immediately in de
mand at higher wages and the value
of farmlands increased from 25 to 50
per cent.

Mix For Rheumatism.
The following is a never failing
remedy for rheumatism, and if fol
lowed up it will effect a complete cure
of the very worst cases: “Mix half
pint of good whiskey with one ounce
of Toris Compound and add one ounce
syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and at bedtime." The in
gredients can be procured at any drug
store and easily mixed at home.

“About four years ago 1 had a very se

My skin peeled, and the high fever plaVed
havoc with my hair, which came out in
bunches. I also had three large bed sores
on my back. I did not gain very rapidly,
and my appetite was very poor. I tried
many ‘sure cures’ but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent
I had had no real relief. Then my com
plexion cleared and soon I felt better. The
bed sores went very soon after a few appli

used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my
