Catarrh is one of the most obstinate

Municipal government affects the aver

reason, he should show even more inter-

The Republicans of Portland have never

the whole was more entitled to the conf

character of the nominees an excuse for
not going to the polls. In the nominees
presented today for their suffrages they
can find none. If ever Republican
municipal ticket was entitled to the full
Yots of the party the one which Judge
Robinson heads is. Such ticket de-
serves not merely election. but election by
an overwhelming majority. Anything
less than sweeping victory today will
reflect discredit upon Republican voters.

Before the W. L. u, Saturday aits--

Union. and spoke for over AZ hour
expected to listen to an address \ favjf
of woman suffrage. In this they were
somewhat disappointed as Miss Hersey
had very little to say in favor of this
movement. She was, on the contrary,
rather opposed to equal suffrage and
though she advanced few arguments In
support of her position, she did mention
reasons why, in her opinion, women
should not be accorded this privilege. She
said that 1t was the duty OF women to
carefully educate their children and as
acolyt ties and priests their mission was to
make the world more beautiful She
seemed to think that women could accom-.
plish more good without franchise than
they can with 1t. In support of this state.
ment she spoke OF the recent attempt OF
the women in Boston to prevent the ereo-
ton Of sky scraper in Scolley square
They had been successful in their efforts
because they were working no 'pull'
but laboring for the best interests of thu
city. She referred to the fact that Rob.
erts. the Utah Congressman, had been
elected by women's ballots and in this
case women who had the right of suffra &c
bad not shown themselves TO be capable
of exercising that right with good judg-
meDt The same thing might occur else
where. Although Miss Hersey spoke for
some time and told what women ought
TO do she did not point out any way in
which they could accomplish the many
things she suggested nor did she definite
ly state what the civic opportunity of the
woman is.
Following the address an informal re-.
ception was held. The Civic club of Port
land was present in a body and there were
many invited guests in attendance
besides. Miss Jersey stopped at the Con-
gress Square while in the city and left

THE CANTEEN QUESTION
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
Not alone so called temperance people
but nearly everyone interested in the
public welfare have an interest in the
canteen question, especially as it comes
before US in connection with the late
war. Therefore, the action Of Secretary
Long In giving the order to prohibit the
sale of beer on war ships is N ost crafty
ing. About one hundred military officers
have expressed their condemnation OF
liquor selling In oanteens.
1t may be interesting to some to know
that tie army bill passed by the Senate
February 81 contains the foil owing Sec
ton:
mo officer or private soldier shall be
detailed to sell Intoxicating drinks rs a
bar tender Or otherwise in any post ex-
change or canteen. nor shall any Other
person be req uired or allowed to sell such
liquors in any enoampmenJ or fort or on
any premises used for military purposes
by tine United States and the Secretary
of War is hereby directed to issue such
general order as may be necessary to
carry the provisions of this section into
full force and effect. Further, that all
laws or parts of laws which conflict with
the provisions of this act are hereby re-
pea1ed.
A few weeks ago a Canteen bill similar
to this passed the House. hence 1t is te-
lieved that the House will readily concur
with the Senate in the action taken Feb.

Some western papers have discovered
that Congressman Hopkins of Illinois is
a man of great ability. long expefieneesin

the great questions that will confront
the next congress, and much more in
sympathy with western opinion upon tn e
annexation of the Philippines, the Nicar-
aqua canal. and all the other magnificent
projects of imperialism, than Tom Read,
and therefore that he should be elected
speaker in place of the man from Maine
Probably Mr.. Hopkins also holds to this
view, and possibly he may be right; but
If he is half as wise as his friends think
he is he won't spsnd his summer vacation

as far beyond his reach as the presidency
is away from Henry Cabot Lodge or VIII

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.

Perhaps no Congress since the civil
war has settled so many important qucs-
lions and perhaps also no Congress has
portant questions In sight and unsettled
as the one that expired on Saturday,
Curiously enough though the campaign
wnich brought it into being turned
almost entirely upon the question of
sound money not an act of any oonse-
quence bearing upon that subject lhas
been enacted by 1t. This was in part due
no doubt to uncertainty as to the opinions
of the majority of the upper branch of
it, and in part to the fact that its time
has bean taken up with what, If not more
important, were more urgent matters.
1t WINS called in special session coon after
its election for the particular purpose of
enacting a revenue law, and 1t placed
upon the statute book what is known
as the Dingley act, a measure which itT
enemies predicted would prove failure
aud about which even many OF its friends
had some misgivings. but which in oper-
alton has fully justified the confidence
ing all the revenue the country would
have needed, had not a war broken out
with foreign power.
The first regular session of this body
though it began quietly enough, became
the most exciting and important of any
session of Congress since the reconstruc-
tion period. The long pending Cuban
t. 80
in declaration of war against Spain. For
the time being all other matters were OBJ.
scured by the exciting work of providing
ways and means of carrying this contest
to victory and little legislation except
what was needed to furnish the senews of
of Hawaii was not an exception for that
was brought about, by what WAS sup
posed to be. war exigency.
The second session began with the war
over, Spain's West Indian colonies vir-
tually in our possession. and a treaty
pending which was to convey to us
dominion over her possessions in Asiatic
seas. That treaty was ratified by the up
per branch ana the money needed to carry
1t into effect provided by the lower
branch. Beyond furnishing the neces-
sary money to run the government for the
ysar to come this session has enacted
little important legislation. All the
great measures before 1t such as the
Hanna Payne subsidy bill and the Mica
ragua canal bill have failed wholly or in
large part. So also has every attempt
that has been made to define our policy
with regard to our newly acquired posses
si0ns. The money voted by this Congress
has exceeded 81 600, 100000. Much of
this vast expenditure was due of course
to the war with Spain, but even with
all that can fairly be credited to that
contest deducted, the appropriations were
very large. Yet there were but few that
were not justified by the growing needs
of the country.
The legacy of important matters left to
the next Congress is large and upon their
correct settlement will depend in large
measure the future prosperity of the
country.
