“We recommend that the Legislature submit an amendment to
the State Constitution giving women the right of suffrage on the
game terms as men,” says the platform adopted at Waco. It eon-
tinues: "We favor the submission of an amendment to the Fed-
eral Constitution to the various Legislatures giving the right of
guffrage to women on the same terms as men and that the Legisla-
ture ratify the same when so submitted.”
Prior to the convention there was, or seemed to be, some dif-
Eerence of opinion among suffragists as to whether they should con-
kentrate their efforts upon amendment of the State Constitution
br upon ratification by the Legislature of the Federal amendment.
Ehe delegates at Waco obligingly endorsed both methods. In doing
go, they seem to'have confused State and National powers rather
badly. Perhaps this was due to haste.

Erage until the North was at war with the South and that attempt
had to be made by a grant of additional power to the central gov-
ernment by the States.
John Tyler, writing to the Governor of Rhode Island in conncc-
tion with Dorr’s rebellion (due to restriction of suffrage) declared
that the questions in dispute belonged “exclusively to the people
pf Rhode Island and with which this Government can have nothing
to do,” and further that "the executive could not look into real
W supposed defects of the existing government" of the State. But
it is not needed that proof be cited of a fact unquestioned: that the
“g of qualifications of electors belongs to the States and that
t anti-republican tendencies” (the language is Jef-
i grant will practically complete the surrender by
ieir power to fix the qualifications of voters. It is
mother step to uniform election laws. And whenever we shall
uniform election laws at least two States of the Savth will

"This is the record that Austin can
be well proud of in her educational
institutions. But Austin can never 03
the city she should be and Austin can
never support her educational insti-
tutions as they should be supported
unless she grows industriously. How-
ever. there are industrial possibiiities
wrapped up in these schools which
should make the thinking business
man in Austin over exert himself in
making these schools a success. A
hint to the wise is sufficient and when
it is noted that a complete automobile
plant is really building automobiles
at the School of Automobile Mechan-
ics and that this school is graduating
more mechanics in one year's time
than ever worked in any automobile
plant in the United States. It gives
food for thought."
Neither the Federal Constitution nor any amendment thereto
••gives the right” of suffrage to men on any “terms.” The Con-
Btitution guarantees, suffrage to no one, and the Federal Govern-
ment is without power to fix the qualifications of electors.
In Section 2 of the Constitution it is stated that members of
the House of Representatives shall be chosen by electors in each
State who shall “have the qualifications requisite for electors of]
the most numerous branch of the State Legislature.” No other ref-
brence is made to qualifications of electors.
It is dearly within the power of any State to determine what
Citizens shall vote. In the Fourteenth Amendment appears the first
suggestion of a limitation of this power, it being declared that all
persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens thereof
and that their privileges as such shall not be abridged or denied;
further, that if the right to vote is denied “any male inhabitants
2 • * being twenty-one years of age,” etc., the basis of represen-
tation of the State making such denial shall be reduced. This en-
tire amendment was aimed directly at the seceding States and its
ratification was forced upon them. The same is true of the Fif-
teenth Amendment. Kentucky and Maryland, Southern States which
did not secede and, therefore were in the enjoyment of their liber-
ties, have never ratified either amendment.
It was not the intent of the State Legislatures voluntarily rati-
fying these amendments to delegate to the central government power
Io prevent restriction of suffrage by the States beyond such power
As would prevent discrimination against negroes and the power of
the States to fix the qualifications of electors continued to be exer-
cised. In Rhode Island, for example, the property qualification wvas
retained up to 1888, and at the present time qualifications vary in
the several States. In Texas men have been allowed to vote on
mere declaration of intent to become citizens, a thing which is not
permitted in several other States and will not hereafter be permitted
here.
The States assenting to the orginal Constitution declared in
their State Constitutions the qualifications of electors and thess
varied widely, some requiring men to be church members iu older
to vote and others requiring them to be property holders.
One of these Eighteenth Century Constitutions actually granted
suffrage to women by inference, but the inference was later stricken
but. No attempt was eVer made to interfere with restriction of suf-

Four were placed in ntitutions; two
girls in institutions and two girls were
returned to their homes.
Besides these cases, in the way of
animal protection the humane officer
examined 127 horses and 18 other ani-
mals. Forty horses were taken out of
work and seven were killed to end suf-
fering. Five complaints of cruelty came
in and sixty-five were reprimanded for
cruelty to animals. Cails made by
the humane officer totaled 180.
The secretary of the Humane So-
elet ymade twenty-six visits and wrote

During the summer the milk and
baby fund, through this society, re-
ceived 158, which was turned over to
the Housewives League.
The Susie Morley Circle of the Cen-
tral Christian Church donated $18 to

Miss Spiller, city nurse says that
all who contribute to the fund should
attend the clinics and see the improve-
ment in the little children.

“In Austin these three schools which
have been established at Austin are
successful and their success as schools
can be attributed to no other source
than the State University of Texas
under the leadership of Hr- Vinson
and his co-workers in these schools,
Drs. S. L. Brown, J- M. Bryant and
Ha! C. Weaver.
"The University of Texas is now,
without question, the largest univer-
sity in North America. When this
University opens in October it will
have approximately 12,000 students in
attendance. In its four bfanches, in-
eluding the military schools. When

H. A. Wroe, president of the Austin
Chamber of Commerce and chairman
of the Military committee, and Dr. R.
E. Vinson, president of the Univer-
sity and member of the military com-
mittee of the Chambers of Com-
merce, left yesterday for Washing,
ton, Baltimore and New York in con-
nection with the financing of the
new radio aviation school now being
built south of the city.
In this connection and describing the
work of the Chamber of Commerce
and the University in bringing these
schools here and making the Univer-
sity the largest in North America,
Waiter E. Long, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday
pointed out the possibilities for an au-
tomobile plant and other industries
here after the war in the following
statement:
The work of this Military Commit-
tee of the Chamber of Commerce has
saved and kept in existence, many
businesses of Austin- in September,
1817, the Chamber of Commerce real-
ised that Austin was facing financial
conditions that would mean disaster
to many lines of buisnesses and would
keep to stand still even the strong-
est financial concerns Although, the
Chamber of Commerce did not have
the money to expend at that time, it
used its credit and expended more
than 88,000 for options, leases and
other expense incident to obtaining a
Military Camp. $3,200 was spent in
obtaining the lease on one tract of
land alone. To the pessimist, this
lease may have been foolhardy, but
this action of the Chamber of Com-
merce was the one thing that made
possible for the City of Austin, the
building of the Radio Aviation School,
which will mean an expenditure of
more than one-half million dollars in
this city and the placinng of 4,000
men adjacent to the city limits of
Autsin. The work on this camp has
been progressing rapidly and new
buildings spring up over night- The
City Commission of Austin has given
its time, labor and efforts unstintedly
in assisting the Government to build
these schools. Mayor Woodridge ad-
visee the Military Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce that the City
would put the water on the field of
this new school and set such a short
period of time to do the work, that
even the most optimistic wo] hard-
ly think it possible to perform the
task and yet the job was completed
in a day less time than that estimat-
ed by the City Engineers. The city
water is now on the Radio Aviation
School South of Autsin.
'’About the same time that the ef-
forts of the Chamber of Commerce
! seemed blocked to locate a cantonment
, near this city the military committee
of this organization had under way
, the building of two more schools and
over 3200,000 was provided by the

To advocate a grant to the central government of power so
toping aa is proposed in the Waco platform can not be said by
i most enthusiastic suffragist-democrat to be in line with that
neiple to which the party has clung for more than a century:
I "support of the State governments in all their rights as the most
bpetent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest
seed in an effiicent manner- Such
foreign substances as are removed
from the seed cotton shall not be re-
turned to_the seed, but tne seed shall
be kept in a clean condition. Gin-
ners are not permitted to mix an
foreign material with cotton seed
during the time It is under their con-
trol or in their possession.
"No. 7—The charge, for ginning
shall be the same whether or not the
cotton or the cotton seed is purchas-
ed by the ginner.
"No. 8.—Ginners are to gin as rap-
idly as possible, consistent with good
work, all dry seed cotton tendered
them and upon demand they are to
return to the owner the cotton and
cotton seed ginned by them. This de-
partment looks with disfavor upon ths
purchase of seed cotton, as such
manner of purchasing cotton seed
does not indicate a definite price pay-
ment for same.
"No. 9.—Ginners are to keep a care-
ful record showing the name and ad-
dress of each party from whom they
purchased and to whom they sell cot-
ton seed, together with the price paid
or received for same, furnishing same
to seller and buyer.

Secretary of State Howard has cer-
tified to the county judges of the
various counties in Texas a list of the
nominees for state offices to be sub-
mitted to the voters of Texas at the
general election to be held Nov. 5, 1918.
The list embraces the names of nom-
inees or three parties, democratic,
republican and socialist. There are
no socialist labor or prohibition party
nominees at this election-
The republican party has a com-
plete list of candidates. J. Webster
Flanagan heading the ticket for Uni-
ted States senator, with Charles A.
Boynton as the candidate for Gover-
nor, while the socialist party has a
full lists of candidates, with four ex-
ceptions. there being no nominees for
commissioner of agriculture, chief jus-
tice and associate justice of the Su-
preme court, and judge of the court
of criminal appeals.
Clamp, conductor of the War Service
Choral Society of Austin, has called
upon the members of this organization
to meet for reheafkal at the Central
Christian Church on Monday evening.
Sept. 33, and it is hoped that every
member will promptly appear for this
purpose at the time and place indi-
cated.
The next concert by this society (for
which this rehearsal is called) will be
given early this fall for the benefit of
the Y. W. C. A- of our city, specifically
to cover an amount pledged the Pa-
triotic League of Austin. It is under-
stood that the Y. W. C. A. has not
sufficient funds on hand to pay this
amount and defray other expenses of
that organization. It may be remarked
that the Y. W. C. A. is engaged in oth-
er useful works contributing to the
moral and intellectual life of our city-
Ruch as keeping up the girls' home of
which Mrs- EAberta Wilkinson is ma-
tron. and which furnishes board and
lodging for girls employed in stores
and other useful occupations at a nom-
inal price. This home is situated at
the corner of Tenth and Brazos Streets
and is maintained by the Y. W. C. A
and by voluntary contributions. The
local organization pays its Jiro rata to
the National organizatioWof the Y.
W. C. A., which is doing such valuable
and useful service in France and at
home- Our local organization has also
enlarged its lines of usefulness in
many directions; It conducts a class
in French by Miss Katherjne Wheatley
of the Texas University, a class in
business law for women conducted by
Miss Anna Maxwell, a class in dietetics
by Mrs. D. E. Breed, a class in physical
culture for children by Mys Florence
but in the war service in the widest
sense and deserves the generous sup-
port of the community.
“In conclusion. I wish to Impress
upon the members of our association
the importance of keeping up its or-
ganization for war service. Our city
has become a military training camp;
the University of Texas is doing as
much if not more than any other uni-
versity in the United States to train
officers and men for technical military
service, the War Cmp Community
Service has been established in our
midst and thousands of soldiers are in
and around our city, who must bc
cared for and properly sustained in a
high spirit of patriotism and tficien-
cy. Besides the community spirit
must not be permitted to lag, but must
be stimulated to the highest pitch-
Community singing and public con-
certs must be the order of the day and
there is ample opportunity for our so-
ciety to make itself most useful in
winning the war.
The people of the United States are
thoroughly aroused in the present
crisis and are determined to win this
war and make the world a safe place
for democracy, and they have found
that music, both vocal and instru-
mental, is not only essential but nec-
essary to maintain our patriotic and
high resolve. They have found noth-
ing will bring about unity and har-
mony in a communi quicker than
music, especially public community
singing, and all over this land this
idea has taken root. It is a sure anti-
dote for the blues and petty frictions
and jealousy, in fact our country has
become a singing nation as never be-
fore.
Our society and other singing asso-
ciations In the city should contribute
their share to this great cause and
should come to the front with a good
will.
Let us qualify and prepare ourselves
to sing in camp and park, in concert
hall and cathedral and chant tha
American anthem, hymn and song, to
the soldier and civilian alike and thrill
t~ir hearts with the soul-stirring
spirit of patriotism.
Permit me to urge most earnestly
the prompt attendance and assistance
of all men and women who are will-
ing to assist in the war service choral
work this season.
Very respecfuly,
RUDLOPH KLEBERG,
Chairman executive board War Serv-
ice Choral Society.
