recognized philosophically as being abso-
luteIy equal.
"For theosophist to say that man is
superior to woman. or woman to man,
would imply an almost entire ignorance of
theosophical philosophy.
''To give woman the ballot could not
but have a most beneficial effect, for it
would bring new, purer and more con-
servative element into our political life,
and would add very greatly to our stability
as a Nation. The refining influence OF
woman at the polls would be just as ap-
parent as it is in the home. Aside from
all special pleas, however, the fact that
theosophists look upon the human soul as
sexless, and that sex is only phenomenon
of FORM would show the absurdity of as
signing to woman an inferior place at the
councils OF the Nation.
ITO the theosophist justice is the key
note OF all philosophy, and any denial oi
the equality of the sexes would be posi-
tive injustice, and no true theosophist can
make such an assertion.
"The reincarnation of the Theosophical
Society in this century was due almost
wholly to the efforts of one woman.

women without attributing 10 chem any
of that false angelic superiority with
which shallow philosophers clothe them.

A $1,000 Watch.

"While in Geneva some months ago, "
said Colonel ]. r. Reynolds. 81 visited the
principal watch works there. and as a
matter of curiosity asked the manager
what was the highest-priced watch that
most expensive watch turned out in Switz-

This watch, he said, was the finest that

which would run the price up into as
many thousands as the purchaser desired.
He said there had been one watch made in
his establishment, the cases of which b ad

THE PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW.
Men and Women Are Equal and
No Distinction Should Be
Made.

DR.. Jerome A. Anderson, who is one of
the advanced exponents of theosophy in
this City, declared yesterday that any
statement that theosophists were opposed
to yoman's suffrage was absolutely un-
true. He held not only that woman was
entitled to suffrage, but that she was
equal to the male of the human species in
everything according to the philosophy of
his society.
"Woman's equality with man in every
particular, including suffrage is recog.
nized completely throughout the Theo-
sophical Society,"" he SAID. 'Theosophy
teaches that the same Ego, or soul, mani
tests alternately during series of lives as
male or female as its needs demand. All
manifestation is dual, and human life
necessarily requires its dual manifestation.
This is found in the male and female ma
lures, the difference in which is only very
imperfectly expressed in sex. Sex is only
one of the many differences which mark
the swing of the Ego from pole TO pole of
manifested human life. Both poles are

Ing matters of interest to the Western
country; such as the silver question, the
nicaragua canal, good roads, ETC. At it's
meeting in Omaha last November. the
matter OF holding an international exposi-
tion OF the products of the great West was
discussed, and the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We believe that an exposition of
ali the products, industries and civilization of
tne states westof the Mississippi River, made
behold the wonderful capabilities of these
wealth-producing States, would be of great
value, not only 10 the Trans Mississippi States
put to all the home-seekers of the world ;
therefore,
Resotped, That the United States Congress be
requested TO take such steps as may be neces-
sary 10 hold Trans Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha during the months OF August, Septem-
Der and October, in the year 1898, and
mat the representatives OF such States and
lerTltorles Ill Congress be requested to favor
such an appropriation as is usual in such
cases to assist in carrying out this enterprise.
Mr.. Carpenter said yesterday that it was
the plan to have the association repre-
sented by a vice-president in every State
and one from the city of Omaha. He ad-
ded that that city had been selected as the
site for the exposition because it was in
the center OF g. thickly populated portion
OF the United States. Within radius of
900 miles there are States whose combined
population is 100000. The territory
comprising the trans Mississippi country
is two-thirds OF the area of the whole
| United States and has not quite one-third
| OF the entire population.
The idea of the association was that
omaha, being near the eastern boundary
OF this region, Eastern people could be
more easily reached and brought there
more easily than they could be induced to
go TO any of the more western cities, such
as Salt Lake and Denver
1--WE hope to show to the home seekers of
the East" continued Mr.. Carpenter, "that
