v. - -, 'I. . J ISSUED WEEKLY. VOLUME XXXIIY WOMEN WHO VOTE COME UNDER THE SAME LAWS AS MEN Washington, D. C, June 17. In those states where women vote they ccme under the same laws as the men. Tfyat is to say, if there is an educa tional nualification, as there is in many states, a woman must be able pass tae test required in order to yccive a ballot. If there is a prop erty qualification, as ' there ' is in Rhode Island, she must be able to show her tax receipt. Where registration is required of men, women must reg ister in like manner. In this respect each state is a law unto- itself, many of them having very lax . systems of registration in the country districts, with stringent provisions for voters li"ing in the cities. ( The only FederaHaw which has af fected the vote of'wdmen is the act passed in March, 1907, which disfran chises American women married to foreigners since that timei The American-born woman must wait until her husband completes his citizenship, in the states where full citizenship is required, before she can vote. A very cursory study of the elec tion laws of the United States shows the widest possible differences between them. In a few states all bars are down, and the foreigners arriving at Ellis Island in May1 can vote the fol lowing November. This is tine in Alabama, but a number of states where it has been tKe case have chang ed their laws in this respect since the entry of the United States into the great war. When women are enfranchised they expect to abide by existing laws reg ulating elections. Massachusetts was one of the first states to adopt an ed ucational qualification, which really amounts to very little. Florida, when it adopted the pure Australian ballot did much more to disfranchise illit erates, and Colorado, which has a law that requires the voter to indicate his preference by seating a mark oppo site the name of each person voted fo-. has srone even further in the same direction by prohibiting any aid; ttf voters, save for total pitysicai disa bility, such' as blindness or the loss of a hand, which would make it im possible for the voter to mark his bal lot. When the Nineteenth Amendment, enfranchising women, becomes the law, women will still be liable to the re strictions set by the states. This is the case in the 29 states where they have full or partial suffrage, and it will be so with the others. Private James A Bruce Returns Frivate James A.

Thursday June 19, 1919 War Memo- rial Building It la not easy to decide the type of a war memorial most suitable to com memorate the valor of our soldiers. A variety of ideas has been advanced in many states, cities and towns in com munities where it is desired to set up fitting memorials. It is claimed that there are one hundred and sixty towns in the. American union tljat have be gun the erection or are about to be gin the erection of memorial buildings in the form of what is known as com munity buildings as memorials to our soldiers. ! While it is not certain what form of memorial building will be erected in Randolph county, yet, it is proba ble that a community building will be built ' i' That, at least, appears to be the trend of thought at present The people are going about the matter in telligently. Military statutes of bronze or stone were usually the mem orials to commemorate the deeds of the civil war, but now it is the general feeling that the most fitting memorial should be something that will be of continued service. As has been said before in these columns, the building should provide rooms for a public library free to all. Arrangements should also be made for rooms for county farm demonstrator, home focd demonstrator, county beard of health, county superintendent and board of education, and rest room for country, women who come to tdwn. A room should be set apart for the Confederate veterans and daughters of lonieaeracy. Also provision should be made for relics of historical matters relating' to the revolutionary war as well as the civil war and the recent world war. All historical matter that can be gathered should be placed into this hall of history. This memorial building should be built under the di rection of tne county commissioners, board of education, historical society and Woman's Club, committees rep resenting the soldiers and Confederate veterans, and trustees should be placed in charBrepreejitang..theounr(J wwh anu. various associations. - The Courier has written about this before and given its views, and would be glad to have others discuss the matter in the columns of the naDer. First of all it is best that a location be obtained ami patfiotic,public spirited citizens who have s;tcs could perform a real service to their community and country by offering to make donations.
