Miss Pankhurst Taken To Task Miss Pankhurst Taken To Task The incident connected with the visit of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst at Nashville at the invitation of the local suffrage association gives matter for rather shameful reflection. We read in the Record-Herald that when the Nashville Lesgue learned that Miss Pankhurst had also accepted an invitation to address the students of Fisk University the members were very indignant and "kept the wires hot between that city and New York until the latter engagement was called off." Miss Pankhurst is not the only woman suffragist of leading position who has shown that she is not so much an advocate of woman as of a particular kind of woman—the white woman. She has not yet learned that woman's rights have not a shadow of merit or meaning except as one phase of that much larger thing, human rights. When she is in Rome she does as the Romans do. She has not such broad comprehension of the cause she serves but that she can trim it to suit the requirements of the local committee. Miss Pankhurst may be a suffragist, but, if correctly reported, this action shows very plainly that she is not a democrat. One does not expect much of Americans in comprehensive understanding of democracy, but one could wish that our foreign visitors did not so quickly become inoculated with our peculiar vice—race prejudice. There are, however, a few minds here and in England who, with a quick instinct for justice and the absurdity of the situation, would have acted very differently. Miss Pankhurst might have chosen to take sides with the weakest, to teach American suffragists a needed lesson in human fellowship and the true meaning of those large claims they are making for womankind. Very likely she demurred and protested. We will give her the benefit of the suggestion. She is young; she was suddenly caught in the toils; she has time now for reflection and to ask herself how much real good she accomplished by her act of weak conformity to a mean and hateful prejudice. The question is continually asked. What will women do with the ballot when they get it? We may well ask ourselves. The present writer has been a suffragist for nearly fifty years, but would rather see the success of that cause delayed another fifty years than gained by time serving methods. Already in the fast growing popularity of our cause we have given the greater cause of democracy at large many a serious blow and backset. The social reformer who labors to uplift one class at the same time that she is holding another class down is lacking both in intelligent comprehension of her task and in true feeling. Fisk University will lose least of all in the matter. Its prestige and power of usefulness will undoubtedly prove as displeasing to the best southern sentiment as to the northern. Our popular young English cousin will find opportunity to correct the mistake if she has the wish ESTABISHED 1882 HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W to do so — Celia Parker Wooley, in the Chicago Record Herald, March 2 1912. JESSE JAMES RELPED FIRST NEGRO SCHOOL IN MISSOURI The first Negro school in Missouri was founded in Kansae City by J. Mitton Turner in 1868. The school commissioners were ex Confederates and refused to appropriate a salary for him. Every Saturday night or so, he says, Jesse James, the celebrated bandit, rode over from Liberty, Mo., shot up Kansas City and robbed its citizen. Then he would gallop to the Negro school, discharge his pistols in the air and about: "Where's that nigger school teacher?" "I would go out in fear and trembling," Turner relates, and say: "Here I am, bose.' 'Haven't those commissioners done anything for you yet?' James would yell. And I would answer: "No boss." "Then I'll have to help you,' he would roar, and give me ten, fifteen or twenty dollars. But for Jesse James I could not have kept up the school." MINERS 30 YEAR REWARD EDWARD SONNELY, track layer in the Taylor mine, who lives in Minooka, Pa, is firmly convinced that it pays to befriend homeless boys, for his kind actions toward a friendless orphan thirty years ago have borne fruit, and the chances are that he will in a few days retire from the mines forever. Thirty years ago there appeared in Minooka a young Welsh boy by the name of Lewis. He secured employment in the Carr's Patch mine, but being the only Welsh boy in the community, his life was made miserable by his companions until Edward Donnelly came to his rescue. Donnelly constituted himself the champion of the youth and frequently fought his battles. Lewis drifted away from this section of the country, and that was the last heard from him until recently, when Congressman D. J. Lewis of Maryland reached Scranton to attend the meeting of the State Grange. After addressing the grangers Congressman Lewis hurried out to Minooka and hunted up Donnelly. The meeting was fraught with reminiscences of the past, for Lewis the orphan boy and Lewis the congressman proved to be one and the same Before leaving Congressman Lewis is informed his erstwhile champion that he should prepare to give up the mines, as he meant to find a more remunerative as well as a pleasanter berth for him in the government service.

PEOPLE'S VOICE MUST PREVAIL Cheered For Speech In Opening Active Campaign For Nomination — Quotes Taft as Opposed to the Majority. Stands Squarely on His Columbus (O.) Address. The salient passages in Colonel Roosevelt's forceful campaign speech, delivered in Carnegie Hall, New York, Wednesday evening, are given below: The great fundamental issue now before the Republican party and before our people can be stated briefly. It is, Are the American people fit to govern themselves, to rule themselves, to control themselves? I believe they are. My opponents do not. I believe in the right of the people to rule. I believe that the majority of the plain people of the United States will day in and day out, make fewer mistakes in governing themselves than any smaller class or body of men, no matter what their training, will make in trying to govern them. I believe again that the American people are as a whole capable of self control and of learning by their mistakes. Our opponents pay lip loyalty to this doctrine, but they show their real beliefs by the way in which they champion every device to make the nominal rule of the people a sham. I have scant patience with this talk of the tyranny of the majority. Whenever there is tyranny of the majority I shall protest against it with all my heart and soul. But we are today suffering from the tyranny of the minorities. It is a small minority that is grabbing our coal deposits, our water powers and our harbor fronts. A small minority is fattening on the sale of adulterated foods and drugs. It is a small minority that lies behind monopolies and trusts. It is a small minority that stands behind the present law of master and servant, the sweatshops and the whole calendar of social and industrial injustice. It is a small minority that is today using our convention system to defeat the will of a majority of the people in the choice of delegates to the Chicago convention. Not For Recall Everywhere. My opponents charge that two things in my program are wrong because they intrude into the sanctuary of the judiciary. The first is the recall of judges and the second the review by the people of judicial decisions on certain constitutional questions. I have said again and again that I do not advocate the recall of judges in all states and in all communities. The integrity of our judges, from Marshall to White and Holmes—and to Culen and many others in our own state—is a fine page of American history. But—I say it soberly—democracy has a right to approach the sanctuary of the courts when a special interest has corruptly found sanctuary there, and this is exactly what has happened in some of the states where the recall of the judges is a living issue. Is it not equally plain that the question whether a given social policy is for the public good is not of a judicial nature, but should be settled by the legislature or in the final instance by the people themselves? The president of the United States, Mr. Taft, devoted most of a recent speech to criticism of this proposition. He says that it "is utterly without merit or utility, and instead of being * * * in the interest of all the people and of the stability of popular government, is sowing the seeds of confusion and tyranny." (By this he, of course, means the tyranny of the majority—that is, the tyranny of the American people as a whole.) He also says that my proposal (which, as he rightly sees, is merely a proposal to give the people a real instead of only a nominal chance to constitute and amend a state constitution with reasonable rapidity) would make such amendment and interpretation "depend on the feverish, uncertain and unstable determination of successive votes on different laws by temporary and changing majorities," and that "it lays the ax at the foot of the tree of well ordered freedom and subjects the guarantees of life, liberty and property without remedy to the tiful impulse of a temporary majority of an electorate." This criticism is really less a criticism of my proposal than a criticism of all popular government. It is wholly unfounded, unless it is founded on the belief that the people are fundamentally unfortworthy. This is the question that I propose to submit to the people. How can the prevailing morality or a preponderant opinion be better and more exactly ascertained than by a vote of the people? The people must know better than the count what their own morality and their own opinion is. I ask that you, here, you and others like you, you the people, be given the chance to state your own views of justice and public morality and not sit middle by and have your views anecdosed for you by well meaning adherents of our own philosophies, who exalt the pedastry of formulas above the vital needs of human life. Mr. Taft's position is the position that has been held from the beginning of our government, although not always so openly held, by a large number of reputable and honorable men who down at bottom distrust popular government and when they must accept it accept it with reluctance and hedge around it with every species of restriction and check and balance so as to make the power of the people as limited and as ineffective as possible. Mr. Taft fairly defines the issue when he says that our government is and should be a government of all the people by a representative part of the people. This is an excellent and moderate description of an oligarchy. It defines our government as a government of all of the people by a few of the people. I am not speaking jokingly nor do I mean to be unkind, for I repeat that many honorable and well meaning men of high character take this view and have taken it from the time of the formation of the nation. Essentially this view is that the constitution is a strait-jacket to be used for the control of an unruly patient—the people. Now, I hold that this view is not only false, but mischievous, that our constitutions are instruments designed to secure justice by securing the deliberate but effective expression of the popular will, that the checks and balances are valuable as far and only so far as they accomplish that deliberation and that it is a warped and unworthy and improper construction of our form of government to see in it only a means of tearing the popular will and of preventing justice. Mr. Taft says that "every class" should have a "voice" in the government. That seems to me a very serious misconception of the American political situation. The real trouble with us is that some classes have had too much voice. One of the most important of all the lessons to be taught and to be learned is that a man should vote not as a representative of a class, but merely as a good citizen, whose prime interests are the same as those of all other good citizens. Taft's "Disbelief In the People." Mr. Taft again and again, in quotations I have given and elsewhere through his speech, expresses his disbelief in the people when they vote at the polls. In one sentence he says that the proposition gives "powerful effect to the momentary impulse of a majority of an electorate and prepares the way for the possible exercise of the grossest tryranny." Elsewhere he speaks of the "feverish uncertainty" and "unstable determination" of laws by "temporary and changing majorities," and again he says that the system I propose "would result in suspension or application of constitutional guarantees according to popular whim," which would destroy "all possible consistency" in constitutional interpretation. I should much like to know the exact distinction that is to be made between what Mr. Taft calls "the fitful impulse of a temporary majority" when applied to a question such as that I raise and any other question. Remember that under my proposal to (C continued on Second Page.) Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. FOR MOTHER. He was only a mite of a boy, dirty and ragged, watching a game of ball. The little fellow attracted the attention of a bystander, who, reaching over the boy's shoulder as he sat on the ground, gave him a luscious golden pear. The boy's eyes sparkled, but he was too shy to speak. He patted the pear, looked at it, as if to as-shire himself that it was real, and then lifted it to his lips, but withdrew it again, and with a long sigh, tucked it safely inside of his dirty blouse. "Why don't you eat it, Tony?" asked a watchful companion. "Eat it? all meself, I'm savin' it for mother." Whatever Tony lacked, he had learned humanity's loftiest lesson. BAD ABITS. Some one has said that bad habits are like a bag of stones which seems to grow heavier every step you take. Every bad habit that a boy forms keeps him down and prevents him from doing right. Stop your bad habits, boys, and you will not be ashamed of your future record. NOTHING BUT PRAISE. Brown—"You may say what you like against young ministers, but I have nothing but praise for our young pastor—nothing but praise." Smith—"So I observed; when I passed the plate." THE WRETCH. A popular young married man who has a horror of what he pleased to call "fuseing", returned home one evening with a very perceptible limp in his gait, saying he had "slipped and wrenched the blamed thing." After hearing scifled groans and exclamations, his wife announced her readiness to relieve the situation. She knelt beside him, took off his shoes and stockings, and brought in all the remedies she had ever heard of. After an hour's massaging and bandaging, she arose triumphantly with the remark: "There, doesn't the foot feel butter?" From behind the paper which the husband had been reading during the operation, then came the answer: I presume it would, if it had happened to be the right one." "I tell you," said one man to other, as they were coming out of a concert hall, "I envy that fellow who was singing." "Envy him!" exclaimed the other, "Well, if I were to envy a singer, I select somebody with a better voice. His was about the poorest I ever heard. "It's not his voice I envy, man," was the reply; "its his tremendous courage." Stranger—"Why do you have those stout rubber bands around the bills of your hens." Farmer—Keep'em from cockle.

Now, only four months elapse between the uomination and the election of a man as president, to fill for four yenrs the most important of- fice in tho land. In one of Mr. Taft's Ispeeches he speaks of “the volce of |the people as coming next to the voice \of God.” Apparently, then, the decision of the people about the presidency, aft- er four months’ deliberation, is to be treated as “next to the voice of God.” but if {ter two years of sober thought they decide that women and children shall be protected in industry, or men protected from excessive hours of labor under unhygienie. conditions, or wage | workers compensated when they lose {life or Umb in the service of others, then their decision forthwith becomes a “whim” and “feverish” and “unsta- blo” and an exercise of “the grossest tyranny” and the “laying of the ax to the foot of the tree of freedom.” That 4s the old, old doctrine which bas been acted upon for thousands of years abroad and which here in America has jbeen acted upon sometimes openly, sometimes secretly, for forty years by many men in public and in private life, and I am sorry to say by many Judges: a doctrine which has in fact tended to create a bulwark for privi- lege, a bulwark unjustly protecting special interests against the rights of the people as a whole. This doctrine is to me a dreadful doctrine, for its ef- fect 1s, and can only be, to make the courts the shield of privilege against popular rights. Naturally, every up- holder and beneficiary of crooked priy- flege loudly applauds the doctrine. It 4s behind the shield of that doctrine that crooked clauses creep into laws, that men of wealth control legislation. “Just Judges Safe.” Remember I am not discussing the recall of judges—although I wish it istinctly understood that the recall is & mere. piece of machinery to take the place of the unworkable impeachment which Mr. Taft in effect defends and that if the days of Maynard ever came back aguin in the state of New York I should favor it, I have no wish to come to it, but our opponents when they object to all efforts to secure real Justice from the courts are strengthen. ing the hands of those who demand the recall. In a great many states there has been for many years a rewl recall of judges as rogards appoint- ments, promotions, reappointments and xe-elections, nd this recall was through the turn of a thumbscrew at the end of a long distance rod in the hande of great inierests. I believe that & just Judge would feel far safer iu the hands of the people than in the hands of those interests. My remedy {s not the result of a 1i- brary study of constitutional law, but of actual and long continued export ence in the use of governmental power to redress social and industrial evils Again and again earnest workers foi social justice have said to me that th most serious obstacles that they havé encountered during the many year: that they have been trying to save American women and children fron destruction in American industry have been the courts. ‘That is the judgmen of almost all tho social workers I know and of dozens of parish priests anc clergymen and of every executive anc legislator who has been ecriously at tempting to use government as ar agency for social and industrial better ment. What is the result of this sys tem of judicial nullification? It was ) beals of New York in the employers’ Mabllity case, where It was calmly und Judicially declared that the people un: der our repubilcun government are less free to correct the evils that oppress | them thin are the people of the mon- archfes of Europe. ‘fo any man witi vision, to any man with broad and real soclal symputhles, to any man who be- /Meves with all his heart in this great }democratic republic of ours, such a coudition fs intolereble. It 1s not gov- ernment by the people, but mere sha: governinent in which the will of the “people is constantly defeated. It is out of this expericnce that my remedy has come, und let it be tried in thls field. When as the result of years of éducation and debate a majority of the people Lave decided upon a remedy for un evil from which they suffer and have chosen a legislature and executive pledged to embody that remedy in law und the law has been finally passed and approved I regard it as monstrous that a bench of judges shall then say to the people: “Fou must begin all over again. First, amend your constitution (which will take four years]; second, secure the passage of a new law (which will take two years more): third, carry that new law over thé weary course of Itigation [whlch will take no human betug knows how long); fourth, submit the whole matter over again to the very same judges who have rendered the decision to which you object. Then, if your patience holds’ out and you finally prevail, the will of. the majority of the people may have {ts way.” Such a system ts not popular government, but a mere mock- ery of popular government. People Will Define “Liberty.” The decisions of which we complain are, asa rule, based upon the constitu- tional provision that no person shall be deprived of life, Itberty or property without due process of law. The terms “Mfe, Mberty and property” have been used In the constitutions of the English spenking peoples since Magna Charta. Until within the last sixty years they were treated us having specific mean- ings—“property” meant tangible prop- erty; “liberty” meant frecdom from personal restraint. or. in other words, from imprisonment in its largest deti- nition. About 1870 our court began to attach to these terms new meanings. Now “property” has come to meun every right of value which a person could enjoy, and -"liberty” has been made to include the right to make con- tracts. As a result, when the state Umits the hours for which women may labor, tt is told by the courts that this law deprives them of their “iberty,” and when it restricts the manufacture of tobacco in w tenement it is told that the law deprives the landlord of his “property.” Now, I do not believe that any people, and especially our free American people, will long con- sent that the term “liberty” shall be defined for them by a bench of judges. Every people has defined that term for itself in the course of its development. Taak Is to Strive For Justice. Friends, our task as Americans 1s to strive for social and industrial Justice, achieved through the genuine rule of the people. This 1s our end, our pur- pose. The methods for achieving the end are merely expedients to be finally accepted or rejected according as actu- al experience shows that they work well or fll. But in our hearts we must have this lofty purpose, and we must strive for it In all earnestness and sin- cerity or our work will come to noth- ing. In order to succeed we need lead- ers of fuspired idealism, leaders to whom are granted great visions, who dream greatly and strive to make thelr drenins come true; who can kindle the people with the fire from their own burning souls. ‘The leader for the time being, whoever he may be, is but an Instrument to be used until broken and then to be cast aside and if he is worth his salt be will care no more when he {3 broken than a soldier cares, when he is sent where his life is for- felt in order that the victory may be won. In the long fight for righteous- ness the watchword for all of us is spend and be spent. It is of little mat- ter whether any one man falls or suc- ceeds, but the cause shall not fail, for of See, BALTIMORE & O16. cep RAILROAD. Corrected to December 1, 1911.

PROPER PLOWING INCREASES THE CORN YIELD In judging a cow there are five main heads that must be observed closely, nam neral appearance, head sid neck, fous quarters, body and. hind: quarters, Tho vetioral sppearance is judged first by stindiag invivont and obsess ing the peolile of the head, moti and eyes. Thon observe the animet from Doth sides by standing away about twenty tect; estimate in your mind the size of (he animal, if too stall, Medium, oy too large. See that she is wedge-shinod. having the base of the wedge a the hind-cuarters, The Straight bacilines should slope slight ly toward the shoulders, while the gen- gral direction of the underline runs upward ay it reaches the fore-quarters, thus melins the side view Ike a Wedye. From in front see that the hind-quarters are browd and the sides and belly ae full, ‘The shoulders should be narrow and ihe neck thin, thus giving her the avpearance of a wedge when viewed from in front. The quality of the hair should be fine and soft; the siin soft, mellow, thin and of a yolow color around the teil and eseutcheon, especially in ght colored cattle, ‘lie bones and joints shouid be clewy and fine. Watch the expres: sion of the eyes; see if she is nervous or exeitabic The head and neck are next to be considered. ‘the muzzle must be most and clean cut; the mouth and nostriis large; the eyes large, bright, full and of a mild disposition, ‘The face should be clean, long, dished and expressive; the forehead broad, and the cars clean, long, medium large, not drooping, vel low inside and of fine texture. ‘The horns must be even and symmetrical, The thin, fine neck of medium length, with throat clean and dew-lap thin and not fleshy, is the type desired. The fore-quarters are not so Impor- tant, but there are three things thet must be closely observed; first are the ‘withers, thin and clean; second, are the shoulders, light and very oblique: and third are the legs straight, shor and fine, especially below the knees: [By Prof. 1. S. Cook, jr., Department of Agronomy, West Virginia Univer- sity.] The time of plowing for corn will usually be determined by the conve nience of the farmer, It is pretty well established that the differences. in yield on lend plowed in the fall and similar land plowed in the spring are very slight, Generally it will be wise to plow for corn when the ground is in good condition to be finely puiver ized by the plow and when other work does not interfere, Sticky clay land should not be plowed when it is so wet as to slip off the moldboard in a shiny condition, Land that is likely to wash because of steepness or other Conditions should be plowed late in the winter rather than early Part of the purpese of plowing is to enable the land to store water; an- other part to enable it to retain water Fall plowing provides for the storage of water in the soil; spring plowing provides for ils reiention, But this qualification needs to be added, that spring plowing is likely to hasten tho evaporation of soil moisture unless the plow is almost immediately followed by the harrow. Water escapes very rapidly from the surface of a newly- plowed field. Following the plow with the harrow while the surface soil is etill fresh reduces the exposed sur- AGBEBI MAKES HIGH MaRK, rt Among the ruccessful graduates from the Birmingbam university, England recout!y wne George D. bays Agbebi of Lages, west coset of Afi 09, oephew of Dr. Majola Asbehi of Lagos, who sto. d (third ina claas of Alty seven, composed of Chinese, Japanese, East Jodians, Seoten nod Enzlish studen'e. Mr. Agbebi will take ap civil Spgioeering as u yrolession. fle The body is very important. | The chest should be deep and low, the girth being large and full behind the bind legs or elbows, ‘The tarde, thin. bar rel should show a large stomach with riby well sprung and wide apart. ‘The back should be jean, straight, open be tween the Joints and fexibie; the loin broad, and the navel lurve, The hind-quarters are very impor tant and present main points of ines tance. ‘The hips should be far anert and level; the rump long and wide with plenty of hip room; the pin bones high and-wide apart; the tail long slit, and the hair in the switeh tine and the thighs long ond thin, Partic: ular attention should be given the re sion of the udder or sack. ‘The es cutcheon should be spread over the Jack of the thighs, extending high asd wide. The udder should be high and full behind, Jong, extending far in front and full. ‘The quarters of the ud der should be even in size, free trom Heshiness, and when milked the sack should be entirely collapsed. ‘Teats should be large and eveniy placed, the holes fn the tents being of the same fee, wal thoy should mii tree and cuey, making a straight strean with. out spattering. ‘The mammary veins should be large, long. very. crooked and branched, and the holes where the Veins enter the body should be propor: tionately large. Remember that these veins corry bleod and not milk as some people think, Large crooked veins de note plenty of blood coming from the udder, whieh indicates a large purity: ing capacity. _ Great care should be taken to exam Hine the cows for physical scundnese If the buyer is not contident of his own Judgment, perhaps it may be well te call in the local veterinarian to help. A dairy animal should net be too tat chor should she be too lean. All her [joints should be free from enlarge [ments. Lastly she should have nor- mal lungs and be free from tuberculo- fois, which, as we all know, is the most livenil alinengear the dainy sou, fsce and so retards revaporation, It iso retards the rise of the water from tie subsoil, thus retaining it where the plant root will need it during the crowing season, The depth of plowing for corn will be determined largely by the depth of previous plowing. It is not wise to (arn a large amount of raw subsoil up to the surface. Usually it is well to bring a small amount of new soil un- der the direct influence of sun and rain, thus preparing It to be useful io subsequent crops. It is to be remem. hered that it is the mellowed soil that coutributes most to the growth of plants. Other influences have mnet to do with determining the proper depth of plowing for corn. If the sround is plowed in the fall, it’ may be safe to plow an inch or more deep- er than it would be wise to plow the same ground in the spring. The frosts and freezes of winter will do much to mellow and “tame” the soil that has never been exposed to the more ac- tive weathering influences, Formers are now beginning to make cement fence posts quite extensively in some localities.
