right Of suffrage upon all those who
dwell in the under world Of social life,
and that would not only increase the
general vote largely. but reinforce the
very element in practical politics from
which criminals are recruited. The
ward "boss" Is a tower of strength in
his party in proportion as he can con-
troll the vote of the vicious element. If
the woman in that walk of life were
enfranchised, not only their vote but
their influence would be at the disposal
of the ward boss. That would increase
the vote of what is called the most dan
gerous factor in the community's social
and political existence. To overcome
this added numerical strength to the
vicious vote an equal number of good
women would have to go to the polls
and vote, but merely to overcome 1t

The better element would have to turn

could a mother, wife or sister afford to
undertake the work? And yet it is in
the lower or rather in the vicious, walks
of life where the reformer would have

A LAST WORD

To the voters of the United States:
against plutocracy the people have al
ready won. In spite of an expenditure
OF money so large that the civilized
world stands appalled, at it's magnitude
today, large majority of the people of
the United States are in open revolt
against the merciless gold standard and
the domination Of the country by the
syndicated wealth of Europe and Amer
lea interested in securing or prevent
ing legislation and in controlling the ex-
ecution of the laws in their interest.
All that Is necessary to secure the reg
istering of the peoples will is to see that
every voter comes to the polls and casts
an unpurchased ballot. Many of the
millions collected by the syndicate have
been reserved for election day. Beaten
at every point. the last resort of money
u to buy the ballot of the voter by pur-
chasing his absence from the polls or
to coerce his vote by intimidation. To
prevent this is possible IL every patriot
will do his duty. Every member of
club must go the polls early on the
morning of election day, cast his ball
lot and remain there until the polls close
and the result is announced Take care
that every voter gets to the polls and
casts his vote. Note down the name of
every absent voter. Let it be known
that the citizen who fails to vote, unless
prevented by extreme illness, has either
been purchased by the money of the
corruptionists or is otherwise unworthy
to be called citizen. All signs indicate
the overwhelming triumph of the people,
ana to no organization is the credit due
more than to the clubs, the peoples or
ganizations, created for no selfish pur-
pose. but for battling for the liberties
OF the people as in the days of their
FOUNDER, the illustrious author of the
declaration of independence.

POLITICS AND PATRIOTISM

The campaign is practically closed
and presumably every voter has made
up his mind which candidate, in his
judgment would administer the public
affairs of the people most in harmony
with the spirit and purpose of our sys-
tenn of government. The American cit
izen can always be trusted to do those
things which are likely to conduce to
the good of the nation, and the voice of
the minority is quickly heard pledging
allegiance to the will Of the majority
when the contest is over and the awards
are made. The strength of our govern
ment lies in the untiring zeal of polit-
,ical parties for the success OF their prin-
ciples during the days Of argument and

PROPOSED BATHING POOL.

The RecOmnl IN dation Made by the
Superintendent of the Bathing Beach.
There is 4 hitch i'll the ma tier of adapting
the small tidal reservoir at the foot of 18th
street for bathing pool. 1t will be recall
ed that Congress appropriated $500 for
doing this work. Superintendent Stevens,
after conference with the Commissioners
upon the matter, was requested to make a
recommendation covering the expenditure
of the money. This he accordingly did,
The Star at the same time printing his rec
ommendaton. Briefly. it was his idea to
drain the small tidal reservoir at the foot
of 18th street, and after grading the bot
tom and constructing walks and roads
around 1t. open 1t as new bathing beach
His recommendation was sent to the Sec
Ictary OF War. By him 1t was referred to
the chief of engineers, who reported against
the proposition because it was too indefi-
mite.
Ana so the matter rests until the Com
Pensioners pass upon the new recommends
ton of Supt. Stevens, which was recently
submitted, and which it is believed will
clear the situation. He asks that the Sec
rotary of War set aside and des gnate as
the bathing beach the small tidal reser-
voir at the foot of 18th street, and that
permission be given to close the entrance
to the same IN order that the tides may be
controlled. and that the banks of the reser-
voir be graded in accordance with the
grade of the flats, the latter to be paid for
by the general government.
