There are good arguments for wo- man suffrage but the following argu- ment against it is good reading: Woman's place is as the helpmeet, the comforter of man and the good angel of the household. As long as she is good and true she must hold man up to duty and honor, and she can, for it is for that she was created as the mother and nurse and teacher of the human race. The agitation for woman suffrage is simply an expression of the unrest and dissatisfaction which exist throughout the world and which are combining to create conditions that will one day break out in a most radi- cal and bloody revolution that will work mighty changes in human affairs, but can never result in bring- ing about any sort of equality, for that is impossible. All human theology or mythology tells of a revolution which broke out in heaven or the celestial regions when the evil spirits, longing for equality with God or Jove, and striv- ing for it, both by violence and in- trigue, were cast out, so that heaven might.be the dwelling place only for the advancement of truth and holi- ness for the general welfare. There can be no obiection te- the agitation for woman suffrage, nor te that for any other social or political reform, since the movement to better things or to a new birth in righteous- ness and truth is through pain and travail. Women have always ruled men from the begining, and they will continue to do so without suffrage, just as long as men are brave and. true and noble. When- they shall become, if ever, wholly degenerate, debased and brutal, they will be no better than wild beasts and need. to be ruled by the most -arbitrary and despotic force. Can women meet the emergency? Women are in every way better than men, but they can never be in- dependent of them. The two sexes were made to be the counterpart and supplement, each of the other, and when men shall fall to the depths of evil they shall drag the women down with them.

DENOUNGES ACTION IN GHARLTON CASE Brother of Murdered Woman De- mands Punishment of Slayer, New York, July 14—“I do not be- lieve that the American people, when they come to a realizing sense of what it means, will stand for this thing. It is inconceivable that any man can cunfoss W w Lrutdl, outrageous mur: der of his wife and then have suffi- clent influence at Washington to es- cape being returned to the scene of his crime for trial and punishment on a frivolous technicality. I shall fight to have Porter Charlton punished for killing my sister as long as I am able to stand on my feet.” This declaration was made by Cap- tain Henry Harrison Scott, U. S. A., brother of the murdered Mary Scott Castle Charlton, at the Army and Navy club when he was shown dis- patches from Washington indicating that it was the purpose of the govern- ment to refuse to surrender Charlton to the Italian government.

AGAIN SAYS HE WILL NOT QUIT [ Ballinger Reiterates Intew tion of Sticking to Job. NOT THE RESIGNING KIND Says Such Action on His Part \/ould Gratify His Enemies and Predicts His Administration Will. Eventually Receive General Approbation—Be: lieves Last Session of Congress:Re- deemed. Party Pledges. Seattle, Wash,, July 14.—Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger has arrived here from Washington- to spend his summer vacation. The first thing the secretary said upon his ar- rival was that he has no intention of resigning. Secretary Ballinger declared: he had: no intention of taking any active part in politics in this state in the present campaign. “It has been frequently stated,” said the secretary, “that I intend -to re- sign and that I have moved my house- hold furniture away from Washington. There is absolutely no foundation for any such statement. I am not made of the resigning materlal and- do not propose to gratify those persons who want me to resign. That is not my object in being in: office. “I expect to administer the interior department in a legal manner, which I believe will ultimately receive the approbation of every one. Pleased With Legislation. “I am greatly pleased with the leg- islation enacted by congress affecting the interior department which has given legal authority to withdraw pub- lic lands for classification and pro- vided for the proper disposition of the public domain, “The $20,000,000 reclamation bond issue was an administration measure, as was the largely increased appro- priation for the survey of public lands, not only in the United States, but in Alaska. “The interior department secured through congress more substanttal leg- islation at the last session than for several years previous. A very fine measure passed was that which en- abled surface entry in lands contain- ing coal and the disposition of the coal under appropriate laws. “I take great satisfaction not only in the results affecting the interior department, but the other depart- ments as well. I feel particularly glad that President Taft has secured the fulfillment of substantially all the party pledges.” MILD LIQUID CURES ECZEMA Skin Sufferers! Drop Greasy Salves and Nasty Medicines.

AT WATERWAYS CONVENTION Governor Eberhart of Minnesota One of the Speakers. St. Paul, July 14.—Nearly 200 dele- gates from Missouri, Illinois, Wiseon- sin,- Iowa and Minnesota were in the. palm room or the Saint Paul hotel at the second day’s session of the Upper Mississippi River Improvement asso- ciation. Addresses were made by Governor Eberhart and several oth- ers,"including former Governor S. R. Van Sant and Thomas H. Lovelace of St. Louls, secretary of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway association. Governor Eberhart strongly empha:| sized these points: “Minnesota is intensely interested In waterway development, for she, above all other states, is to profit by them. “Water transportation means cheap- er freight rates. “The construction of the Panama canal opens a new avenue of greater possibilities and should be taken ad- vantage of.” Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets gently stimulate the liver and bowels to expel poisonous matter, cleanse the system, cure constipation and sick headache.

It is supposed to have been the deed of hoboes, who used an ice pick. The victim’s pockets were rifled and- papers burned.

The eldborate decorstions: of'the:pal- aces and- mosques of the east are al most exclusively made up of ingenious- ly interlaced geowmetrie: designs, ara- besques or flowers, intermixed with sentences of the Koram: There 18 a bellef among Mussulmans that'at'the-day of judgment Allah: will demand that the artist who has made the image of a living thing shall endow that image ‘with: life: and that, failing to do this, the artist will be sent to perdition for his sin. A gentleman: who' visited a mosque in Algiers found that the tiles with. which the bullding is.decorated, which are very old and very beautifdl, are adorned with fiights: of birds. He ex- pressed surprise at. this and asked if the command against such representa- tion were a modern edict. “Oh, no,” answered the: pfous Alge rlan to whom: he addressed. the ques- tion. “These are not pictures of liv- ing birds.” “But they are--painted as-if fiying across: thre tiles;” the: other said in some astonishment. “Yes,” the Mussulman replied, “but do you not see that about' the neck of each there s a fine black line? Thatis to show that the artist painted only dead birds, and the command of the Koran is not violated.” CASTE IN THE ARMY. Civilians Find It Difficult to Under- stand” Military Discipline. One thing not commonly understood among clvilians is. the completeness of the barrier which divides army offi- cers from the soldlers, or, as they are more generally called, the “men.” It is'always vastly amusing to those fa- miliar with the service to observe the errors in this respect frequently made by the novelist and the playwright. Personal qualifications have nothing whatever to do with, the matter, A soldier may be a gentléman who has enlisted with. the. purpose of obtaining: a commission, yet there can be : be- tween him and his officers no social intercourse of any -sort, and severe penalties would be. inflicted upon the officer who would attempt to disregard the rule. It might seem that this enforcement of a caste sense would result in much har@ feeling on .the.side. of. the men. Buch, ‘however; 1 not; actuaily the case: It is taken for granted and-rec- ognized as conducive to “good order and military discipline.” It is a mili- tary regulation like any other and im- plies no disgrace.

London, July 14—“The defeat of the Shackelton bill, granting the right of franchise to women with sufficlent property qualifications, will signalize an. outbreak. such as' England. never knew before. The women and the men who sympathize with them will temporize im this matter no longer.” This semirevolutionary statement ‘was made by Walter T. Claren, M. P., the leading' parliamentary champion of ‘the' suffragettes. Commons’ voted to send the bill to the committee of the whole, from which the bill cannot be taken up for passage without the approval of Premier Asquith, who is Hostile to the measure. and who will see to it that it is not called out at this session. “But if he refuses you may be sure we will resort to violence, and vio- lence of a nature that will make: our former outbreaks seem tame. We are militant suffragettes,” the women de- clare, “because we cannot get what Wwe demand peacefully.” The World’s most successful medi- cine for bowel complaints is Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
