The Defeat of the Suffrage Bill Although opponents of the woman's suffrage amendment predicted sometime ago that the measure would be defeated in the senate by a narrow margin, nevertheless, the outcome was a

surprise to the country generally, for it was ke-,tnem

lieved that the national legislators would vote

in accordance with the tremendous gains which

equal suffrage has made in the last few months. This is the fourth time that the United States senate has rejected the resolution. It was lost by one vote of the necessary two-thirds for adoption. The Indiana senators voted in favor of the amendment. - , The Cincinnati Enquirer editorially attributes the defeat of the amendment to the , militant suffragettes whose antics in Washington have disgusted not only many disinterested persons, but also warm advocates of the cause as well. "Assaults upon the privacy of the home life of the president in the White House and the cheap vaudeville performances before gaping mobs that guffawed at clumsy imitations of the more resourceful alien Pankhursts, made the judicious grieve and sincere suffragettes weak", says the Enquirer. "The burning of the chief executive in effigy on Sunday evening before the empty official mansion was a capital error in tactics, and therefore a crime against the cause that suffered thereby." But even despite these manifestations, the senate might just as well have passed the amend

ment, for equal suffrage is bound to come, and the quicker the senators realize it, the sooner will the agitation in Washington cease.

It has been suggested th at the best punishment that can be meted out 'to these people is to send them back to their cou ntries where established governments deal drastically with such malcontents. In this connection it is well to call attention to the observation of Carl Ackerman, special correspondent for the New Yoirk Times, who was in this city yesterday on his way to New York from Siberia, where he made an' iitensive study of the Bolsheviki and of Russian! conditions.

Four Billion in ID eath Claims The American Life ; Insurance Companies

Drive the Bolsheviki Out The deportation of 54 foreigners, who are rank apostles of Bolshevism, from Seattle and other western cities, is perfectly in accord with i every principle of national security America cannot tolerate the presence of aliens whose only purpose is to upset our governmental methods and our industrial system. Government in this country is based upon the will of the majority. If these deluded Bolsheviki, with their following of anarchists and the I. W. W. crowd, could by some process hardly deemed possible now, persuade 51 per cent of the people of this country to agree with them and espouse their principles, they would have no difficulty in plunging the United States into the same turmoil of anarchy and chaos that prevails in Russia today. It is an excellent commentary on our national life that neither the Bolsheviki, the radical socialists of Germany nor the loud-mouthed soapbox orators of this country, have been able to persuade the majority of people that there is sense in their argument or industrial relief in their proposed methods. Because they cannot gain popular approval by their arguments, these imps of mischief constantly appeal to the spirit of violence, and put it into practice by using the torch and dynamite. ' The United States has been a refuge for the oppressed people of the whole world. Our government is of the people, by the people, for the people. Most of us are perfectly satisfied with our institutions and" our government, and most of us will insist that Bolsheviki should be sent back to their native countries there to indulge in outrages and violence. We will not tolerate the wickedness of men like the Russians, Norwegians, Swedes, and Finns who made up the party that was transported from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast for deportation. It has been repeatedly pointed out by foreign observers of our nation that the United States government is exceedingly lenient and tolerant with men who preach anarchy and practice violence. We have permitted them to set tip their soap-boxes on our street' corners to inflame the

have paid more than four billion dollars in death claims since, they were first organized. It has been estimated that this sum of money would give 608,000 widows and orphans three meals a day for twenty years, and it would provide 800,000 homes costing $5,000 each. Besides this, about four billion dollars has been paid to policy holders in so-called dividends, endowments and surrender policies. One of the distressing factors of insurance is the fact that in the last ten years loans on life insurance policies have increased from 187 million to 772 million. Few men who borrow on their life insurance policies realize that they are borrowing from their widows, because the records of the insurance companies show that few men repay the loan. The reason for this is that the interest rate is low, the companies do not press for payment, and the poiicy holder under his contract has a right to the loan. Of course these loans are paid in the end, because the loan is deducted from the amount of insurance paid to the widow upon the death of

her husband. This is just the element that is a menace, for the widow, as can readily be seen, pays the loan and not ' the husband, who should have repaid the money and kept his policy intact. The real purpose of life insurance is protection for the family. If a man reduces this protection by a loan which he does not intend to pay back, he is taking so much money from his widow and the orphans. Many men are sincere in their desire to pay back the loan, but the experience of life insurance companies has shown thaj the men don't pay and the widows are forced to suffer the loss.

a big majority. Almost 60,000 acre3 ot corn will be plant

ed this spring, while the present hog population of the county is over twice that of people, 106,066. With 94 percent of the farms of the county listed, 38,615 acres of wheat have been reported to County Agent J. C, Kline, from whose census these figures are taken. Figures for Harrison township are wholly lacking, and a few other farmers did not respond, so that the total acreage may be nearer 45,000 acres than 40,000, over 10,000 acres more than last year's record-breaking acreage. Of oats 11,234 acres will be planted, of rye 1,176 acres, of truck 3,150, while acreage of special crops is given as 910. Acres in hay are 25,287; acres in pasture as ,54,191. The total acreage reporting out of 246,000 acres In the county was about 220,000 acres. Hogs of course lead the animal census by a big majority. It is probable that the total number in the county is now near 120,000. Cattle come next with a total population of 19,766. Dairy cattle. make 6,518, while beef cattle and breeders are given as 12,911.. There are about 8,500 sheep listed. Just over 1,000 men are reported as being professional farmers. Of the age 12 to 17 there are 358, 18-45, 270 and over 46, 47 men in farmers' families. Hired men are given as 49 from 12 to 17, 248 from 18 to 45 and 106 over

the latter age. About 130 hired men are going to be needed during the season, of whom 68 are wanted single and 62 married. - Center township, the figures show, Is the leading farming township of the county. Center leads in wheat, with 4,437 acres planted, in corn, with 7,000 acres. In hay, with 3,182 acres, in hogs, with 13,692 head, in cattle with 2,572 head, In sheep, with 1,234 head. Center Is second in truck, with 213 acres, pasture, with 6,734 acres. Washington township leads in rye, with 200 acres planted; it is second in wheat, with 4,300 acres, corn, with 6,189 acres. In hay, with 2,605 acres, in hogs with 12,358 head. v Wayne heads the list of truck, with 1,600 acres; it Is second in pasture, with 6,900 acres and In cattle, with 2,217. Franklin has more oats to sow than any other, with 1,630 acres. Green being second with 1,428. Wayne township will have 126 acres of rye, second to Washington. Boston has 900 head of sheep, being second to Center.' -' Farms reported in the census were 1841. Center township had 193, Wayne 187 and Franklin 187. Acres owned were given as 110,980, acres rented or leased as 119,049. Below is given a table showing the results of the census by townships. There are no figures available for Harrison township. It must be remembered that in this census only 94 percent of the farms reported.

Giving Credit to a Negro Hero

From the Indianapolis News.

Tf-vRETTY nearly everybody is familiar with the tale

B of the negro trooper, his razor and a German. It is told with many variations, each one needless to say unverified by official citation. A typical version is ibis: A negro soldier was standing in an American trench when a German head made Its appearance over the top of the opposite trench a few yards distant. The negro whipped out his razor, Ued it to a piece of heavy twine and swung it over his shoulder in the direction of the Cerman head. - The head did not move. "You missed him,M says one of the negro's comrades. The dark-skinned trooper replied: "Humph. Just wait till he tries to move his bead!" V: . 1 .' This dusky flgHter will never be welcomed when the troops come home, but a friend of his does exist, and is now home, broken in health and penniless. His name is Henry Johnson, and he used a knife instead of a razor. The tight through which he won his Croix de Guerre was Fcarcely less picturesque than the affair of his brother of the razor. His exploit Is thus recorded in the official citation of the French commander: s

Private Henry Johnson, finding himself on night sentry duty, and being attacked by more than a dozen Germans, put one hors de combat with rifle shots and two others with knife cuts. Although wounded thrice by reyolver bullets and grenades at the start of the fight, he went to the help of his wounded comrade, as the latter was about to be carried off by the enemy, and continued to struggle until the Germans were forced to flee. Subsequent investigation revealed that the citation did not quite do. Johnson justice. After beating off a

dozen Huns, wounding or killing several, and rescuing a companion, he tossed a hand grenade after the raiding party and blew one of the Teutons to pieces. Here in one instance is epitomized the tradition of the bravery, the ferocity, the doggedness of the black trooper. He is a scrapper, an all-the-way fighter, a toe, teeth, nails, arms and legs warrior, a soldier every inch. Like the man of the story, he does not go about looking for trouble, but just take him where the fight is. The negro cited by the French is a physical wreck from wounds. He lives at Albany where friends will buy a home for him.

Who founded the Morrison-Reeves Library in City?

The first record of a library in Richmond is found In a copy of the Richmond Intelligencer, dated May 8, 1822. It is a notice of a directors' meeting. In 1826, this library ceased to be and the books were bought by a new organization. But this was not successful and in 1834 the books were given to. the Young Men's Library, founded some time before and in a flourishing condition. - Sometime before 1851, yet another library was started, and in that year, the two were combined to form the city library, and a tax of ten cents on the hundred was assessed to buy books for the new, institution. In 1855, a literary and scientific society was formed in town to start another library, and yet another was started in this same year, a township library In ithe third story of the Wiggans block. Robert Morrison, a Friend who' had come to the city in 1810, then purchased the present library site and presented It to the city. All libraries were combined. A building wae erected which was enlarged in 1893 when Mrs. Mark E. Reeves gave $30,000 toward that purpose.

Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold and the patient is soon left a helpless cripple. Of course, if this painful disease was on the surface only, you might reasonably expect to get relief by the use of lotions, liniments and other local applications. But the source of the disease is in your blood, the tiny disease germs find lodgment

there and multiply by the mil

blood circulating throughout your entire system. In order to get permanent relief from this dreadful disease, the blood must be purified, and all irritating matter removed from the circulation. No remedy does this so quickly as S. S. S., the best blood purifier on the market today, that has stood the test of time with sixty years of success behind it, and more popular today than it has ever been before. S. S. S. not only contains purifying and tonic properties, but solvent qualities, and, being purely vegetable, will not injure the system as do medicines which contain potash and other mineral ingredients. While cleansing the blood of all poison, it builds up the system and relieves the sufferer of the nagging pains of Rheumatism and is the one remedy that is so useful in repairing the damage done by blood diseases. Don't wait for your trouble to become chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. today and purge the blood of every particle of the poison. We maintain a medical de-
