July Hi.?Secretary Bryan in a formal statemeut today came out for \v man suffrage. He declared he would ask no political rig-tj for himself he was not willing to grant his wife, and announced he I woud support the proposed State constitutional amendment extending the j -franchise to women to be voted ?.n in Nebraska next November. Woman. Mr. Bryan said, has proved herself equal to every responsibility j imposed on her. and would not fail I society in this emergency. Above all j other engagements for giving her the j ballot N- placed "the right of the j m:t-er to a voice in the molding of ?. ? ? v,QT. m'lilHrAn " me environment vi nci "The mother," the secretary said, "can justly claim the right to employ every effective weapon for the protection of taose whose interests she # guards, but the ballot will put within 1 er reach all the instrumentalities of government, including the police power." Must Work Together. "As man and woman are cotenants of the eart:i," the statement says, "'and must work our their destiny to v gether, the presumption is on the side of equalitv for treatment in all that pertains to t-eir joint life and its opportunities. The burden of proof is on those who claim for .cue an advantage over the otiiier in determining conditions under which both siiall live. Objections raised to woman suffrage appear to me to be invalid, while the arguments advanced in support of the proposition in my i. judgment are convincing. "The first objection 1 remember to Koorn U'oc tViQt a? WnniflTl 'A U C H V/ CA i Vi ? ' UO viam v v?i^ " ? .? ? ? not bear arms she should not have a voice in deciding questions that might lead to war or in enactment of laws that might require an army officer to enforce. This argument is seldom offered now, for as civilization advances laws are c.beyed because they u are an expression of public opinK ion. As we look back over the past, we may well wonder whether the k peace movement would not have ? sjown more rapidly had women been ^ consulted before hostilities began. >Voud Relieve Her. 'Second, some urge that woman's lL'c already is full a! care and that the addition of suffrage rather would overburden her or turn her attention away from home duties. The answer made is that the exercise of the franchise might result in a change of ^ thought and occupation that would ^trelieve the monot ny o"f woman's utrk. Surely the home will not sufH if the mother, t'.:e child's first ?acher, is able to intelligently dis^^uss with her family the science of government and the art of success tluliy administering iu Third many well meaning men and j women affirm that suffrage would j work a harm to woman by lessening tne respect in winch lie is held. This argument would have more weight had it not been employed against every pr. position advanced in avor of t:e enlargement o. woman's sphere. This objection once was raised to the higher education o:' woman, but it no longer is beard. "These objections, however, honestly advanced, have proven impotent to retard woman's progress. ^ f "And are not the second and tiiirJ objections refuted, to some extent at " least, bui the fact that in the States I I which have adopted woman suffrage (and in the ot :er nations that have adopted it) there is no agitation for a return to the system unJor which man has a monopoly f a right to vote. It is fair to assume an effort would be made & correct he mistake g|| if woman's suffrage really had failed to give satisfaction to the people, [ where it ;has been trieu." I "It is not my purpose to discuss the subject with elaboration at this time, tout I desire to present the argument to which I give the greatest weight. Without minimizing other arguments . advanced in support of the extending of suffrage to woman. I place the emphasis upon the mother's right :o a voice in molding the environment; which operates powerfully in de'.v-r- _ mining whether her ^ffspr-ig will crown her latter years with joy or 'bring down rcr gray hairs in sorrow to ; .e grave." Her Great Burden. "Tiie Creator lias placed upon the mother a burden which she could not shiit if she so desired and He has given ,:er the disposition to bear it. Her life trembles in the balance at the child's birth; her active years are given to tr.e care and nurture o: ncr children; her nerve ":'crce and vital energy are expended in their behail'; her exhaustless love is poured out upon them. Because tae wealth of her existence is bestowed upon them, trey are a part of her very being? where y.ur treasure is, there will your heart be also.' When one considers the cost to parents, especially to t..e mother, of raising a child, it seems impossible that any one would attempt to lead a child astray or rob its parents of the priceless reward to which they are entitled; and yet there are in e>.ery generation?aye, ir. pverv eommuntiv?those who are inhuman enough to deliberately lie in wait to make a wreckage of the lives of young men and young women, They lay snares ?:r them; they set traps for them, and the men who play this ghastly trade for t a are allowed to use the ballot to advance their pecuniary ends. "I am not willing to stay tne mother's hand :lf she thinks that by the use of suffrage she can safeguard the welfare of these who are dearer :o her than her own li:e. ( an Claim it as Hiirlit. "The mot-er can justly claim the ."ijrht to employ every weapon which can he made effective ;or the protection of th:se whose interests she Shards, and the ballot will put within her reach all the instrumentalities of government, including the police power. If she is a widow, there is no one who is in a position to speak fo;- her in this rrfitter of supreme im portan.ee; if her husband is living, she can supplement his influence if they agree as to What is best for those under their joint care; if they d:> not agree, who will say that only the father should be consulted? "For a time I was impressed by the suggestion that the question should be left to the woman to decide?a majority to determine whether the franchise should be extended to woman; but 1 find myself less and less disposed to indorse this test. Samuel Johnson coined an epi gram which is in point here, namely, that 'no man's conscience can tell him the right 01 another man.' Responsibility for the child's welfare rests primarily upon the parents; fciie parent receives in largest measure the blessings that flow from the child's life, if that life is nobly employed, and upon the parent falls the blpw with severest force if the child's life is misspent. Why should any mother therefore, be denied the use of the franchise to safeguard the welfare of her child merely because another mother may not \ie\v her duty in the same light? "Politics will not suffer by woman's j entrance into it. I: the political world has grown mpre pure in spite of the evil influences that have operaatod to debase it, it will not be polluted by the presence and participation o. woman. Neither should we riouht that woman oan ho trusted with the ballot. S'.:e has proven herself equal to every responsibility imposed upon her; she will not fail society in this emergency. Let her vote! And i may that discernment which has, j ' throughout the ages, ever enabled her to quickly grasp great truths? make her "the last at the cross and the first at the sepulchre'?so direct her in the discharge of her political duties as to add new glories to her and through her still further bless society." - < St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

On July 2, I started to Rock Hill or my ten days short course which won r.r follows: 1 planted seed in April, but no j hints were grown from them. In j he latter part of April I bought some lanjts and set them out. They lived lid grew we.' considering the dry ;e;Uher at that time.

I hoed them, sprayu t'lem, and kept them as clean as osei'!ji'\ i went into the work to :akc it a success, and I felt as though ha^ reached my highest point, when was notified on .lune 23. that I had /or. ne of the three trips to Winthrop oJIege. While at Winthrop we all worked ogether for the betterment of the !ub work in South Carolina. The iris had four recitations a day, cookng. dairying, gardening and poultry. \re \ irited the college farm freqeunty, 'learning many useful and he'.pful e.ssoijs from .observation and actual .'ork. We tried to put in our very best ime while at Wint^irop in order that :e might get the most out of our hort course. The entire faculty at Vinthrop made our trip a most pleasnt and profitable one. I feel like I new a great deal more along the line f domestic affairs than I knew hereofore. The teachers all took great nterest in us and \Ve took interest *in hem and the work we were doing.

The State. Greenville, .July 16.?The labor trouble at Monaghan mill took on a new aspect t'nis morning when Joseph .1. Ettor, ncted for the part he has taken in New England strikes and other labor upheavals, arrived in Greenville and assumed leadership of t'ae Industrial Workers of the World who last Thursday declined to work under the rules of the mill management, and who since that time have been out of work. The Monagfhan mill - opened this morning and ran throughout toe day, though only about one-third o?f the mill was in artive rmeratinn Tile management has stated its intention of continuing to operate the milL 1 L. W. Parker, president of the Parker Cotton Mills company, has inserted in the local press a rull statement 1 cf the conferences which the management has had with the operatives. , The statement extends over more than a page of a seven column paper. ; This review of the situation ,taken from t'he minutes of the conference! is made in order that all may un- 1 derstand the cause of the trouble. This morning and again tonigTit Ettor addressed the operatives. His talks were designed tJ bolster up the operatives to stand up for what they consider their rights. They object to overtime, and it was because of this objection that the trouble started last week. It. is understood that a committee will call upon Mr. Parker tomorrow morning and make .certain proposals, whicfo, i: agreed 10, wili mean that all the operatives may return to their work. In case t^:e operatives return to work they will pe tition the mill management to rescind the rule requiring that certain time be made up. If this be refused some stringent action will be contemplated, j Should the management decline to al- j low the strikers to return to work, j all operatives of 'Monaghan will be called together to consider what is to be done. ^ Ettor, it was stated tonight, will be here '."or several weeks. No disorder has' yet marked the labor troubles, and at no ether mill ir.as any difference arisen, although the 1. W. W. is organized at many of the local mills. To .Resume Work. The State. Greenville, July 17.?The operatives of Monagnan mills will return to work Monday morning, according to a decision which they reached today, after a conference with Lewis W. Parker. A committee representing the operatives called upon Mr. Parker this morning and this afternoon announced that they had accepted the proposition wliiich he made to them. This proposition was that hey return to work, make up tu.e 3o minutes ordei cd and then treat with the manoirnmflit With rpfprpnfp TD the OVei*" time ru4e. Operatives, the management and the general public appear delighted ( that matters have taken this turn, ( for with the arrival of .Josep.i J. Et- ^ tor yesterday some became apprehensive less trouble arise. Ettor is high in the councils of the Industrial X . \ Workers of the World and it is this , rganization which gave rise to the difference between tie mill manage- , ment and the operatives, the latter contending that the labor organiza- ' rion did not permit overtime, w-jiile the rules of the company required , that certain lost time be made up. On ^ Wednesdav, July 8, a storm caused r mp nmver of Monashan to bt shut ott ror a time, and when the operatives declined to make up the time the walkout occurred. For the past two days the mill 'has been operating but not to full capacity. ^ Perfect order has prevailed through out the differences. So far as could be learned Ettor has taken no part in the development today. Last i night- Ettor advised the operatives to I g> back to work and save their i money until the I. W. W. could be ( mor^ strongly organized and after j the organization was effected to con- j jider a general cotton mill strike. Phis advice was given at a closed meeting, but one who attended is authority or the statement attributed to Kttor. The fact that some of the operatives have declined f<A several days to work will not be held against them, according to the agreement today.
