The Mary Jane in question is Mary Jane Wilks, one of the three nieces of late Peter Wilks. At this point in the plot, Huck has already decided that he will help Jim, his fugitive slave friend to escape to a free state. Because he has been brought up in the Slave South, he thinks that such an action makes him a bad person and that he will go to hell.

Additionally, he knows that the Duke and the King are con men who intend to steal the Wilks nieces inheritance and although he disagrees he dares not to expose them and he feels remorse and shame due to that. Since Mary Jane offers to pray for him, he considers that it would take an amount of prayers far greater than Mary Jane can produce to be able to save such a “horrible” person as him.

The writer uses the historical fact that women have been denied the right to vote to convince the reader that the nation has not lived.

The Greek term for "word" is logos. It is the source of the term "logic." Aristotle refers to "reasoned discourse" or "the argument" when he talks about logos. When we try to persuade others of anything using logic rather than trying to appeal to their emotions, we are using logos.

Logos or Logical arguments include things like data, statistics, and common sense. For instance, the writer in this paragraph employs logos, or historical information, to show that by denying women the right to vote, the nation has not lived as they make up half of the population.
