The Methodist General Conference is not the only body of men torn up over the woman question. Capt. Woodson, of the Anadarko Indian Agency, ordered those warriors, who have two or more wives, to select one and dismiss the others, the braves have raised the banner of revolt on the ground that one squaw can’t raise enough corn properly to support a warrior properly. Like their pale-face brethren in distress, they want the question submitted to an Anadarko conference to which no squaws should be admitted as lay delegates.
