and Pen Farmer, miner, is ill at his

The trial has attracted more at
tention than any in recent years
in western Kentucky.
Wyby wn.s killed, it was declared,
in the opening statement for the
state, as the result of an alleged
attempt to intimidate him. and to
force him to ecase supposed atten

Personality Returns Her Win -
into her purposes and ambitions.
"I am devoting sny life to the
public service which means social
service," the said, which tells about)
the whole story. The fact that she!
is urging local
brande-d as a
option laws and us
prohibitionist tells
more.
One
tho first stqs whicli she
be expected to take
is the
broadening of the power of suf
frage of women. Women vote in
England some women. They must
confess to being at least 3 0 years ot
age while the voting age of males
is 21, a disparity which is the ob
ject of the next crusnde which the
suffragists will make and which
will have Viscountess Atftor as its
spokesman in Parliment.
Specimen of American Pep
The guests at her reception had
been gathered with an eye to sym
pathetic support for such a move
ment. Her husband the hohler of
the title and a member of the House
of Lords, chattel with them. His
interest in the matter is quite likely
conjugal.
Iady Astor'is a perfect specimen
of American pep. She was the
dominating figure of her reception,
inspiring those who had been as
sociated with her in her political
struggles, Hashing her wit. standing
out in a remarkable contrast to the
majority of thewse prefent.
Womerr were out ef luck in the
recent election, almost as unfortun
ate as the women candidates in
America. Lady Astor and one other,
who was present at the reception,
alone weathered the storm. Some
twenty others who aspired to seats
received no consideration.
That one of the two women w ho
were elected was born in America
and is quite definitely American in
her manners, thought and traits is
something to think about. You can
bo assured that many English
women are thinking about just that
thin?. As a matter of fact they are
asking for the answer to tho ques
tion as to why an American woman
can win while many English women
are defeated. They could Und It
very easily. It lies in the person
ality and 'pep und fighting qualities
of the winner.
