Lynchburg, Va., Sept. —-Rep- resentative Ileflin; of Alabama, flung another challenge to woman suf- fragists, when in a Labor Day address here yesterday under the auspices of the Young Men's Chris- | tian Association he pleaded for wom- “an's work at the home instead of . at the ballot. He declared that “in " the mad clamor for the ballot wom- en are hazarding much and enter. ing upon a perilous journey,” and warned them to “Stop, look, lister.” “Ohio defeated womun suffrage by an overwielming majority,” said Mr. Heflin. “Michigan defeated it by a tremendous vote. New Jersey had woman suffrage and, by common " consent of both men and women, abandoned it. The militant suffra- gettes of England in their rage of "wild fanaticism are trampling upon the laws of God and man. They are committing assaults on English officials and burning the churches of the living God. Upon the home-love ing, man-trusting, consecrated Chris- tian women of the United States rests the safety of our institutions and the perpetuity of this republic.” Mr. Heflin quoted Raul's saying to the Ephesians: “The husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church,” and he add- ed: “Some of these suffragettes have little patience with Paul and the teachings of the Christian religion., At Birmingham, Ala., a very dis- tinguished former officlal of the State asked a suftragette how she got around the doctrine of Paul and ghe replied quickly, *’Damn old Paul.” “The Calmucks,” he continued, “belleved that the first inhabitants of earth were divine and had wings and luminous faces, but there was & fruit called shime which was sweet and very tempting. They began to taste it, but, alas, it deprived them of all their perfections. Thelir wings fell off and the brilliancy of their faces disappeared.
