be regretted by all who understand the
large usefulness of intelligent and fair
minded labor organization as a medium
for conducting the complicated rela-
lions between labor and capital 1t is
most desirable that mistakes like Pres
ident Shaffers should be avoided. The
remedy seems to be to put executive
officers of labor organizations in closer
touch with the mass of membership. SO
that the unions shall be really demo-
cratic. If the feeling of decided ma
Jority of the unions could be clearly
expressed before the beginning of a
strike, both employers and union chiefs
would know better what to expect and
could carry on negotiations in clearer
light and more practical spirit.
1t has been suggested that use of the
secret ballot in lodge meetings would
do great deal to make the real senti-
ment of laborers evident to the chiefs
at the outset. Men vote now in. lodges

opposition to the extreme purposes of
leaders. Use Of a secret ballot would
permit doubt and hesitation and oppo-

Be US men and suffer such reproach to
be cast upon us?
Take that word male out of the con-
stitution Of this State, and take It out
quick. Now, where do women vote?
What progress is woman suffrage max
ing in the world? Women have some
form of suffrage in countries containing
an area of 100000 square miles and
embracing a population OF $4,000, 600.
Women have full suffrage in four
States-Wyoming. Colorado, Utah and
idaho. They have full suffrage in
Iceland. Where every child can read
when it is years old. Where there
is no crime, no jails, no police, NO ar
my and no paupers. They have full
suffrage in New Zealand, where they
have a compulsory school law, a com
pulsory arbitration law. a law regulat-
ing capital, a country that is becoming
the experiment station of the world.
Women have full suffrage in south and
west Australia. Have full suffrage in
the Isles of Man and Picairn and Jer-
sey island In all of the states and
territories OF the United States women
have some form of suffrage except If
teen. West Virginia is one
of the fifteen. What has she
to fear or to lose by adopting 1t? Moth
ing. She has much to gain. Women have
partial suffrage in Canada. In England,

lament In all European countries ex-
cept Greece. Spain. Portugal, Holland and
some German provinces, women have
some form OF suffrage. Women possess a
limited suffrage in all Russian provinces
and In the English colonies of India.
This most wonderful progress in woman
suffrage has been accomplished mostly
in the last ten years. 1t IS coming just
as sure as the sun shines. 1t has been a
success where It has been tried. The
challenge is out and has not been accept
ed. that you cannot find two persons in
the State of Wyoming who are willing 10
assert over their own signatures that wo-
man suffrage has been failure or that
it has not done good in that State.
There Il no man to-day seeking pre-
ferment at the will of the people who
would dare come out openly in opposition
to woman suffrage. There is no political
party to-day in this State or country who
In convention would risk placing a plank
in their platform or by resolution declare
the party as opposed to woman suffrage
The man or the party so blind TO justice
and humanity that would do that deserves
to be relegated to innocuous desuetude
The time has come in the history of the
world when there shall be new birth
of freedom. Standing on the threshold Of
the twentieth century and looking out
upon its golden dawn, everywhere we be-
hold progress, science leading the way in
the Industrial world. and In our amaze
ment we exclaim what hath God wrought
In the religious world We see brave con-
seientous men, and brave. consecrated
women holding aloft the banner of King
Jesus, scaling the ramparts of sin, plant
ing the cross of Christ upon the crum-
bling wallis of Ignorance, or ldolatry and
superstition. Everywhere We see more
and more the principles Of moral science
as contained In the Bible, taking hold Of
the hearts of the people. Everywhere we
see more and more civil and religious lib
erty extending Everywhere we see the
scales of prejudice which have obscured
mans vision falling from his eyes. and

A view of shaHer.

Mr.. Shaffers explanation of the fall
ure of the strike, stripped of its nat
ural heat and bitterness. answers pre-
cisely to what is known of the history
of the movement. His demands were
not heartily and sincerely supported
either by his own unions or by affiliat-
ed labor organizations. This made
the failure mater OF course from the
start. 1t is not necessary for any one
to initiate Mr.. Skaters heat and bit
terness. He treats this failure Of sup
port as disloyalty to the cause of labor
and almost as treason to himself per-
sonally. Members of the unions that
dissented from his course might retort
with the accusation of arrogance and
usurpation. Trade unions are in the
DRY democratic organizations. The fact
that President Shaffer started out and
persisted in a course in which neither
his own union nor affiliated labor or
CARNATIONS could follow him seems to
reflect more upon him than upon them.
Of course, the effect of this break
down upon even the wholesale and le-
ultimate functions of labor organiza-
lions has been demoralizing. Many
local unions are breaking away from
the Amalgamated Association. Hard
ly any are wholly free from discon-
tented and critical spirit. This must

We want woman suffrage because.
as has been said, Taxation without
representation is contrary to every
principle of justice: it is therefore tyr
amy and cannot be tolerated by any
civilized or enlightened people" The
women Of the State of New York pay
taxes on an assessment of $500 100000.
That is $4,000, 900 more than all the
taxable property in. the State of West
Virginia. But the Legislature OF New
York last winter passed a law permit
ting women taxpayers to vote on all
questions involving the expenditure of
money in the communities in which
they live. New York, then, requires
a property qualification for women vot-
ing on certain local measures. when
probably the offiee-holder collecting
and disbursing the taxes, has no prop
erty to assess, pays no taxes and votes
without restriction.
The constitution of West Virginia
says that taxation shall be equal and
uniform; and that is right. 1t should
be SO, and this obligation should carry
with 1t the same privilege to all, both
male and female. The women of West
Virginia pay taxes they are not repre-
sented, and on the theory which our
fathers fought for for eight years, we
are bound to either give them the bal
lot or pay them back their taxes.
The Declaration of Independence
talks about governments being insti-
tuted, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed. And that
principle is agitated somewhat at the
present time; but as far as | can see
it seems to be applied to the Filipino
men, and not to the American woman,
who is far better qualified to have a
voice in the affairs OF state. According
to the Declaration of Independence
there are only four States in these
United States-Wyoming, Colorado.
Utah and Idaho-which have a lawful
government or a government deriving
It's just powers from the consent of the
governed West Virginia and several
other States recognize the principle
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of one-half
the governed Besides, this system Of
robbery and oppression which we have
imposed upon the women of this State.
we are still not satisfied. but proceed
to class women under our laws with
criminals and paupers. How does our
constitution read. Art. ~. See. I: "The
male citizens of the State shall be en-
titled to vote at all elections held
within the counties in which they re-
spectively reside; but no person who
is minor. or of unsound mind.
or a pauper. or who is I'M
der conviction of treason. felony.
or bribery in an election. shall be per-
mitted to vote" Who then vote in
West Virginia? All maze citizens over
81 years who have no disability.
We don't vote in West Virginia min
ors, papers. persons of unsound mind,
persons under conviction of treason,
felony and bribery, and women.
Are you willing to leave your wife,
your mother. your daughter. Or your
sister virtually classed as she is in the
constitution of this state? Does I. not
make our faces b.anch to think of it?

Ma. scHwAB's TARIFF ADMISSION

MIR. SCHW ABS TARIFF ADhiSsioN'
Mr.. Joseph Lawrence, member OF
the British parliament, who recently
visited the United States, is quoted as
stating in an address to the Newport,
England. Chamber of Commerce that
Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab President CT
the United States Steel Corporation,
had assured him that the trust could
deliver steel billets in England for
$3.50 per ton. while no British stee.
manufacturer could make them for
less than $l9.
Commenting on this the New York
World asks
Did President Schwab make this state
ment?
If he did then the American people have
a legitimate curiosity TO know % why the
Dingley tariff duties of Sc per ton and up
ward are stiil Indispensable on steel bill
let's. which, after paying freight across
the Atlantic can be sold to British buy
ers for 50 80 per ton less than billets of
British manufacture and 90 why Mr.
SchWab's fellow-countrymen should be
forced by that same tariff duty to pay in
their own markets, as they are now pay
ing, S26 to $27 per ton for the same kind
of steel bilets which Mr.. Schwab's trust
is selling in the British markets, ocean
freight included. for $3.50 per ton less.
Mr. Schwab's answer to these questions
or his contradiction of the assertions of
Joseph Lawrence NJ. P.-will be looked
for with deep interest.
1t is hardly necessary to place Mr..
Schwab on the witness stand. Wheth-
er the President of the billion trust
made this statement or not, it has been
made by others as capable Of knowing
the truth as Mr. Schwab. And it has
been proven by indisputable evidence
time and again.

The season for Unc.e Sans great
summer sport, base ball, is now sue
ceeded by the season for his equally
great fall game. foot ball.
The various collegiate elevens are
lining up for the fray.
The prejudice against foot ball on ac-
count of its roughness has largely been
appeased and removed by new and strict
rules. In the early stages of its de-
velopment a game Of college foot ball
was little more or less than a general
fight between the elevens and the hard
lest sluggers generally came out on top.
To such an extent was this carried that
colleges faculties in some cases prohib-
tied the game altogether. The large
number of injuries. not few of them
fatal, were responsible for these arbi-
trary rulings.
However, the game has since been
brought well up to the scientific stand
ard and although quite rough enough
to satisfy the most ardent lover Of
rough sport, the most objectionable
features of the game have been elm
mated.
1t has also been learned by exDer-
fence on the gridron that only those
who are in fit physical condition should
play the game. To these it is of acknoW-
lodged benefit alike to mind and body.
1t calls for an amount of self-restraint
required in no other physical contest.
1t calls above all for temperate and rrc-
ular living as well as fine physical,
mental and moral manhood 1t is no
game for towards. 1t gives unlimited
possibilities for feats of daring and
skill
Foot ball is all right 1t has a warm
spot in the heart of every healthy man,
and its place as national sport is Sc
cure.
