OPPOSE WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Report Of illinois Association Opposed
to Suffrage Extension


The Illinois association opposed to
the extension of sffrage to women has
issued it's semi-annual report of pro-
gress of work. After giving results of
legislative action in the middle west
in regard to woman suffrage during
the past winter the report says:
Everywhere there seems to be
growing conviction that the best work
of women lies along lines of moral in
fluence and unselfish endeavor in the
realm where the golden rule is not
read backward.
IF women would do as much in
telligence and energy participation in
legislation would require, in teaching
their children in a broad liberal way,
the great principles of temperance
and chastity they would do more in
a generation towards eradicating the
evils of intemperance and impurity
than they would do by century of
voting

was found. Immediately on leaving the
tunnel, the train was switched and
started back on the return trip. Be-
fore it was one-quarter of mile in
the tunnel, the bore was entirely free
from the smoke of the previous trip
and the entrance in front of the train
could be seen clearly. The trips were
made in thirteen minutes, about
twelve miles per hour. The last two
trips the inspectors made on the rear
engine of train of 480 tons. In this
may they caught the smoke from the
forward engine and their own. 1t was
not found unbearable. The train on
these last two trips was taken through
in nine minutes, or at speed of
twenty-nine miles per hour.
The railroad company has taken
great precautions to insure the lives
of the workmen in the tunnel against
accident. No train of more than $50
tons weight can be taken through. A
special coal from British Columbia
which burns with but very little gas
is provided for trains going through
the tunnel. Firemen and engineers
are required to see that their engines
are well prepared for the trip, that the
boiler is full of water. a good fire
burning, and that there is a full
head OF steam and the special coal
provided. When these precautions
are observed. the commissioners re
port, there is not particle of dan
ger.
