Make U: S. Safe For Women. God's reason for putting woman in this world was to make a home for man and raise children, so I'm raising my boys to make this country safe for women. I think all men and women who pay taxes should vote. As I have no tax able property, have not given it much thought. Don't think polities is my business. Not posted or interested enough in either political party to go to polls Cannot see what difference it makes which one is in power. Do not intend to vote because I do not think it is a woman's duty to vote Their place is at home doing their house work. I am for America and the Stars and Stripes and not the sale of our country to Europe through the Wilson league. I intend to vote if there is a dry platform to vote for, if not I won't bother. Man Made to Rule. I do not believe it is a woman's place to vote. Man was made to rule so why should woman try. I haven't time to read upon such things and don't think people should vote unless they know what they are doing. I think it is not a woman's place. Let the women stay at home and put what influence they have right at home. Yes. I am for a full dinner pail.

Aug. 30. The hunger strike of Terence MacSweeney. lord mayor of Cork, has progressed so faxthat he is in such condition that even if he took food now it would do him no good, according to a statement by the Brixton prison doctor to MacSweeney's wife, who visited her husband this morning. Mayor McSweeney is said to be even more gravely ill than at last reported and a change for the worst may come at any time in the next 24 hours. Mrs. MacSweeney remained with her husband for three hours. She said he was conscious and recognized her, but was unable to speak. Mrs. MacSweef y was pale and bore evident signs of the terrible strain. Today's rioting was said by the police to be the worst Belfast has yet seen. Up to one o'clock this afternoon it was definitely known that four deaths had occurred as a result of the disorders. These Included Grace Orr, a young woman, who was shot when troops opened fire to clear a street in the Unionist quarter. Numerous persons with bullet wounds were admitted to the Royal Victoria and Mater hospitals. Further grave developments are apprehended. Shipyard employes who were unarmed were on their way to work at 8:30 o'clock this morning when they were attacked, it is charged by the police, by Sinn Feiners, and shooting soon began. Soldiers arrived soon after the disorder commenced ajjd, assuming a firing position across the street, gave the crowd three minutes to clear the thoroughfare. Most of the people fled to cover. At an early hour this morning other disorders occurred in the neighborhood of Ewarts Row, a Unionist quarter, which was attacked by Sinn Feiners yesterday morning. Shops were wrecked, and to clear the streets the troops opened fire from an armored car. Falls Head, which traverses Joseph Devlin's political division, was simmering this morning. Great excitement also prevailed in other affected areas and crowds were assembling during the early forenoon. WILLIAMS ESTATE ASKS TO MAKE LOAN A second court action resulting from the recent failure of the Farmers Bank of Milton has been instituted in the petition filed with Judge W. A. Bond by Carl T. Williams and Paul T. Caldwell, as executors of the estate of the late Albert E. Williams, a Washington township farmer, for an order to borrow $2,000 in the furtherance of their trust. The petition has been approved by the court. It was represented to the court that the loan was made necessary by reason of the fact that the funds of the estate, amounting to $1,800, were on deposit at the Farmers Bank and could not be withdrawn until the receiver for the bank was prepared to make a settlement. It was stated in the petition that it was "problematical" when the receiver will be enabled to pay the estate's funds to the executors. Under the provisions of Williams' will, Mrs. Flora B. Williams, the widow, is to be paid one-third of the annual net income derived from the farm of 180 acres, the payments to be made semi-annually and in no event to be less than $500 per year. In their petition the executors state that a payment Is now due to the widow and that the inheritance tax u.ust also be paid. It is also stated that funds are required at this time for the operation of the farm, for the making of necessary repairs and for the payment ot general taxes. To meet these obligations the executors asked authority to make a loan of $2,000. Last week the receiver of the Farmers bank filed suit to collect a claim of $3,161.75, alleged to be due on a promissory note said to have been evecuted by Williams. The executors of the Williams' estate disallowed the claim on the ground that the note In ' question was fraudulent.

CBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 30. Will Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, told the senate committeinvestigating campaign funds, at the outset of his testimony toda. that the Republican management welcomed the opportunity to set forth fully the effort of the Republican national committt-e to popularize the giving of money for campaigns, by getting small contributions from a great many men and women, thus forever eliminating any possibility for sinister influence in connection with money In politics. He said this plan for raising money grew out of two primary causes, the real desire to work a real reform in the elimination of any possible Improper obligation, and because experience in raising funds for war purposes had made popular drives fmiliar activity, and it seemed possible to undertake that kind of action by a political organization. "We particularly hoped that this would increase the political interest," bo said. Plan Proposed in 1919. Mr. Hays explained that the plan was first proposed early in 1919, and tlat the purpose has been to limit the contribution to $1,000 for any one year, from any one individual, or a thousand before the nomination convention and a thousand after. "We have all tried to adhere to that plaii, he said. At the opening of the hearing. Senator Kenyon introduced the newspaper accounts of Governor Cox's Pittsburgh speech. The committee telegraphed to him and the governor's reply was read. Senator Reed argued that the committee's duty had been earlier set as "to find every dollar collected and expended by both national organizations" He said this course would havo been followed whether Governor Cox had made a charge or not. Submits Liquor Letter. Mr. Hays submitted to the committee a letter from George Carroll, as president of the New Jersey Association of Liquor Interests. He read from It sentences soliciting funds to carry on Cox propaganda with the ultimate object of obtaining an amendment to the Volstead act to permit the sale of light wines and beers. The letter called Governor Cox a "pronounced wet." Senator Kenyon asked Mr. Hays if the committee had received any contributions from corporations? "No," the witness said. "You estimate that the campaign will cost about $5,000,000?" "Yes. but that includes more than $1,000,000 spent in state campaigns and assigned to the states." Senator Reed questioned Mr. Hays to bring out whether the state committees after receiving their share of the fund raised under the joint agreement with the national committee, could continue to raise funds. He was told they could not. No Wealthy Underwriters. "Have any men of large means been consulted regarding a plan for underwriting the Republican campaign," Mr. Reed asked. "No. we have borrowed some money, but nothing else has been done." "That is a straight loan?" "Yes." "Have you heard of any promises or agreements with any one whereby they will receive any favors in the event e Republican victory?" Mr. Reed continued. "No.' "We eeem to be getting Into a discussion of hearsay evidence again," Senator Kenyon said. "May I ask, Mr. Hays, whether you have heard of the Democratic party making any promises to anyone?" Testifies Against Democrats. "Well, there is the statement about the British ambassador contributing to Mr. Cox's campaign and I have heard a lot of rumors by Irresponsible persons, In which I have taken no particular stock." When the committee adjourned for lunch Mr. Hays was still on the stand. The hearing was resumed at 2 o'clock. Subpoenas were issued for Mr. Hays, George White, chairman of the Democratic committee; Fred Upham and Wilbur Marsh, treasurers of the two committees; treasurers of the senatorial and congressional committees of each party, and Governor Cox, himself has been invited to attend or send a representative. The governor so far has not answer ed, but has indicated that he will send information to support his charges. One senator, a member of the committee, said last week that it was possible that Governor Cox would be subpoenaed If he did not come to Chicago voluntarily. Possibility of the committee going to Governor Cox so as not to interrupt his campaign itinerary, also was mentioned today.
