6ALLIP0LI GUARDS
TURKISH PENINSULA
Was Once a Beautiful City,
but Has Gone to Decay.
Washington "The city of (iulltpoll,
toward which the allied forces are
fighting, guards the neck of the Onlll
poll peninsula, where the peninsula
Joins the mainland, near the elbow
formed by the Dardanelles strait, and
the Sea of .Marmora," begins a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic so
clety. The description of this key po
sit ion to the best protected of all of the
world's water avenue#, a position to
which the interest of all the nations is
now turned with much questioning,
continues:
"Gnlllpoli is the last bar that locks
the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora
Hen iih » Turkish lake. It is a power-
fully fortified city, Its defensive works
having been begun In modern style in
IH7H, when the Russians threatened to
take possession of Constantinople. Tin-
work of strengthening this port has
been carried on at Irregular Intervals
since. When the Hulguriaus were at-
tacking the lines at Chatalja, the
Turks, who felt that they might expect
an endeavor to turn their flanks by
way of Galllpoll and Marmora sea.
worked feverishly upon the port's re-
doubts. While Calllpoli is not com-
parable in strength to the greatest fori
resses of Europe, it, nevertheless, with
its modern batteries and extensive out-
works, forms a proper conclusion lo
the mightily fortified water lane lead
ing down to the Aegean sea.
"This 'city beautiful' of the Greeks
(Kallipolis) was the lirst. point. In 10u
rope to be won and maintained by the
Ottoman hordes. It Is today anything
but a beautiful city. Its streets are
narrow, unmethodical and dirty, while
most of its houses are overworn wood-
en structures, In which decay and un-
tidiness mix to an unplcnslrig picture
There are few buildings of any archi
leetural interest, though the great, lead
en domed bazaars appeal to the Imagi-
nation of the westerner. Home few and
uncared for relics of eastern empire
and Grecian times have been left to
normal decay by the Turks.
"Until Turkish occupation nnd the
putting into effect of the suspicious, in-
tolerant and shortsighted policies of
exclusion and exclusiveness of the
orient Galllpoli seemed destined, as a
well placed port upon one of nature's
natural avenues of water trade, to be
come one of the greatest of all the
commercial cities of the near east
Through the centuries or Turkish rule
it has slept an almost dreamle - -deep
Today, with a population of

standing of its advantages, it has. how

WOMAN'S SUM MAiit r MOM TMS
VIEWPOINT Of Lf AOINU
IARMIUS
\Vh> should women vote" That Is
the question Hint is ringing from
ocean to ocean and reverberating from
the Canadian boundai} to the Mexi-
can border It Is the mission of a
newpupej' to give the news and the
action of the Texas Farmers' Union
in opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas legislature Is significant as
representing the attitude of the or-
ganized plowmen, We reproduce In
part the argument presented by Hon.
W. 1). Lewis, president of the Texas
Farmers' Union, in opposing the bill:
"It is gratifying to note that it is
not the farmer's wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold-
ing the minds of future citizens and'
sharing with her husband the cares
of life to indulge In political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance In cloth-
ing lite children or bring to the homo
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities In life. It Is, as a rule,
the city woman promoted to Idleness
by prosperity, who Is leading the suf-
fragette movement
"From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as mticl\ right to vote
as a man Ho has she as much right,
to plow as a man: she has as much
right to work In a factory as a man;
she bus as much right to shoulder a
musket as a man, but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regrel that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by en-
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica-
tion for suffrage or a business acci-
dent a reason for granting franchise,
We are. opposed lo woman at the
ballot box the same as we are op-
posed to woman In the Held, In the
frfctory or in the army and for tho
self same reasons. We had rather
see her plant flowers than sow wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political Is-
sues, although she may have as much
right to do one as the othor.
Opposed to Unscxlng Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrage may
have Its apparent Inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts Itself perfectly
to all conditions. It Is a favorite ur
gument advanced by the proponents ol
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more capa
bio of Intelligently exercising sov-
ereignty than a worthless negro, but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, Inherent and Insep-
arable fitness for suffrage Is support-
ing a family. The plow handle, the
forge and the struggle for bread af-
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government Is a
great, big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the busi-
ness affairs of life
"There lias been much freakish leg-
islation enacted during the past de-
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under-
take to urisex the human race by law
Is (lie height, of legislative folly and
a tragedy to mankind.
"We are opposed to the equal rights
of woman—we want her to ever re-
main our superior, VV«' consider
woman's desire to seek man's level
the yellow peril fit Twentieth Century
civilization.
"Woman Is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; It. Is her hand that plants
thoughts in the Intellectual vineyard;
It Is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless man-
kind. Christ—the liberator of woman-
kind— was satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re-
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
IKtle children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that In Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?'

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter-

replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small

nation many politicians who are good
"fiddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city, W<* are over-
rtrti with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
*lory of a statesman Is to construct,
and that It Is better for a man that he
fthould build a public highway than
that lie should become Governor of a

that he Jerome the author of a law.
The true test of statesmanship Is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
