states alone who work under the same
conditions as men and have proven their
ability to work as faithfully and as pro-
ductively, and because modern methods Of
defense and modern conditions of life have
removed the distinction of physical su-
periority which prevail among primitive
people that modern woman has progress
ed to the stage where she must be recog-
nized as mans equal in the state. THE
resolutions of every political convention
and the promises of every political can
didate,' said Mrs. Gait, contain a decla-
ration of friendship for the laboring men
but no party and no candidate is a friend
OF labor unless they stand for working
women as well working men,
Mrs Gait touched upon the strength of
the conventional idea which makes it
pad form for woman to take any in
terest IN public affairs. Convention" she
sa1d' Is the ruling force of our lives.
Ihere isn't woman in this audience who
wouldn't rather tell lie than to wear a
bonnet ten years behind the fashion KAN
sas has had municipal suffrage for 14years
but 1t is still considered unconventional
Tor women to vote
Inere are thousands of men in this
country who don't care a picayune for
puplic questions whose work and interests
uon demand that they take an active
PaIt n politics and who feel a disgust
with the whole business but convention
aIitleS say that a man is not a man I'M
less ne performs his citizens duty so
every man votes, and a man would be
looked upon with contempt if he staid
away from the polls. In years to come
the conventionalities viii say that a wo-
man IS not woman unless she performs
her citizens duty and then every woman
VIII vote, and consider it a disgrace to
eVade or ignore this important duty to
society and the state. 1t is pure and
unadulterated selfishness that make a
woman shrink from assuming her citi-
zen's responsibilities, simply because it
is considered unconventional to do so, or
because she thinks she has duties enough
already
Mrs Gait devoted some time to urging
woman.s responsibility in the education of
a public conscience of equal rectitude
with the private conscience and demand
ing the same morality and honesty in the
citizen that is now demanded of the in
dlvldual. Woman's acknowledgements. she
argues is the most potent influence OBJ
tainable for the purifcation of politics.
and in Dr9Df of this she declared that it
is the evil element that stands in opposi-
ton to extending the franchise to her

CAUGHT HIS FOOT.
Two Year Old Donald Waggoner Held
in Water Cut Of.

Donald Waggoner. the little son of A.
T. Waggoner. stepped into one of the
Topeka Water eompany's shut off boxes
in the parking near Fourteenth street
and Topeka avenue Wednesday after
noon and it was an hour and a half
before he was freed.
The little fellow is less than two years
old. He was playing in the parking
The shut off box. which is a three inch
cast iron pipe sunk in the ground to
allow water to be turned on and Off,
was left open. Donald Waggoner was
pla ying in the park and stepped into
the pipe His leg slipped into the pipe
as far as his knee and he found himself
caught as if in a steel trap.
His cries soon brought assistance. His
father tried to extricate him but the leg
and foot were wedged tightly in the
pipe and all efforts were in vain. Before
the boy was rescued the dirt about the
pipe was dug away and it was broken
off below where his foot was and the
boy, with the piece of cast iron pipe still
fast to his leg, was carried into the
house. Mr.. Waggoner Clipped off small
pieces of the pipe until he could reach
the boys foot and unlace his shoe and
take it eff. The pipe was pulled off and
the leg was found to be uninjured eX-
cept for few bruises.

EFFECT ON BUSINESS.
Fuel Situation Is Proving Exceed
ingly Troublesome.

New York, Oct 1.-THE fuel situation
continues exceedingly troublesome in all
parts of the country, not alone in its di-
rect effect upon manufacturing operations
but also in its adverse moral effect upon
business generally, says the Iron Age. In
the central west deliveries of coke are
very unsatisfactory. From the Lehigh
Valley comes the report that furnaces are
now getting a little anthracite but the
opinion prevails that in the most favor
able case the manufacturing industries
will not be taken care of until the domes-
tic requirements are fairly well provided
for.
Fancy prices are being paid for coke for
prompt delivery and 81 and upwards have
been paid for blast furnace coke Wei into
next year. some furnacemen covering on
sales for distant delivery of pig.
But what, after all, most interests those
who are consumers of coke is prices for
next year AS yet this matter has not
been settled, although the feeling is that
an advance of l to 1925 at oven Connells-
Vile. seems certain, if, in fact it is not
considerably higher 1t is understood that
a sale of Bessemer pig iron for the second
and third quarters of 1903, involving sew
eral hundred thousand tons is kept pend
ing until the question of coke prices is
settled.
There has been some movement in basic
pig, Virginia. furnaces having sold about
5000 tons at sf9 to $50 at furnace. The
rush for coal charters in England has so
hardened freights that it is making i'm
ports of foreign pig iron a little more diff
ficult The differences over the duty on
steel bil1ets have stopped all negotiations
for foreign steel for the present.
Reports from the heavy lines continue
exceedingly satisfactory There have been
further large sales of steel rails with adj
ditional business pending. Heavy trans
actions have taken place in plates, and
very good tonnage is coming out in
structural mat
In the lighter lines the sharp struggle
continues Fhe principal outside mills are
freely meeting the cuts on wire products
and sheets. 1t is worthy of note. as bear
ing upon the all-important point of cur
rent consumption. that the sales are re-
rorted to be heavy.
There is increasing weakness in rner-
chant pipe, notably in the smaller sizes.
The feeling prevails IN the trade that an
adjustment i'll prices cannot be far off,
and this, too, is expected in the tin plate
/ trades.
