Women Opposed to Female Suffrage.

The Boston Herald gives the seventh
Association Opposed to the Further
Extension of Suffrage to Women. The
document indicates that that organiza-
ton has had during the last year an
exceedingly active existence, and pro-
poses, if vigorous efforts on its part can
establish that result, to see that exist
ing conditions, SO far as women are
concerned, are not greatly changed by
according to them a larger participa-
ton in the political affairs of the state.
The association has at the present time
total membership of 1851, these repre-
senting PA different municipalities of
the Bay State. The gain in member
ship during the past year has been 535.
AS long as there are such organiza tons
as this, or, which is more common,
general indifferences among women as
10 the right of voting, the woman suf-
frage agitators are waging a hopeless
battle.
The report says that the organization
has been particularly busy during the
year in calling to the attention of the
young women, undergraduates at
the various colleges, such as
Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, etc, the
arguments that can be made against
hI. aTt Of 70 II
is probable that the graduates of the
colleges for women will form to quite
an extent in the future the leaders of
public opinion among those of their
sex, and, if a large proportion of these
can be brought by argument and dis
CussiOn to believe that q change of this
kind is, on the whole, detrimental to
the best interests of the state, and to
women themselves, a barrier against
the progress of this suggested change
can be raised that will be one of the
strongest which could be erected. The
report affirms that the association OPP
Iosed to female suffrage believes that
it represents a majority of the women
of Massachusetts, and that, if suffrage
ever comes, it will be because of the
Indifference of this majority to its du-
ties as true conservators of the home
and the family. These opponents of
woman suffrage are in no degree want
ing in public spirit, but they believe
that the manifestations of it and the
influence which women can exert can
be made much more effective if the
right to vote is not given.

The Boer War and Business.

In his weekly financial bulletin Henry
Clcws points out the significance to the
business world of the cessation of war
in South Africa. When we consider
that the cost of the war during its
short duration of less than three years
is now estimated at about $1,000, 900, 600
while over 100000 men We're withdrawn
from productive employments, it is no
wonder English enterprise seemed to
lag behind! Now that these shackes
have been removed and the Britishers
are spurred by Americas astonishing
success in the Industrial world we may
expect to see a sharp revival of British
enterprise. Mr.. Clews says that we
may feel this partly in keener COM
petition, in which, however, the Amer-
can is well enough equipped to hold
his own: we will also feel it in the re-
newed efforts for world development,
in which we shall inevitably secure our
full share. Whatever losses may come,
therefore. from English competition
they will be vastly more than offset by
the new openings for capital and en-
terprise which British activity will de-
velop. English savings lost in war for
the last three years win now seek new
Investments; depression will dsap-
pear, and unless unforeseen disasters
occur we may reasonably expect to
share the benefits of such a recovery.
The effect Of African development will
be most noticeable in increased gold
supplies. No less an authority than
John HAYS Hammond has estimated
that within one year after the re-
sumption of mining operations in the
Witwatersrand (Which contributed %
per cent. of the worlds product prior
to the war; the production of gold in
that district would rise to nearly $780,
goo, 600 per annum, and within three
years it may reach $120,000,000. Such
heavy additions to the gold supplies
are sure to exert an important stimu-
lus, that should not be lost sight of in
ectimates for the future. They are GER
tain to play an important part in the
international exchanges before many
months

A Graduates Ambition.

1t was a Columbia University senior
who told the class statistican that he
proposed to be President of the United
States. Others were to be lawyers, doc
tors, journalists, business men, clergy
men, and what not, but this young
man. the model of modesty and humil-
ity, stands out among his classmates,
and among the thousands of college
graduates who are receiving their di-
plomas, this month, as future head of
the national government. Perhaps the
Young man was facetious-even college
seniors are so sometimes-and being
one of the many who are undecided as
to their work after graduation, he gave
this response to the class statistician
for want of 4 better reply. On the
other hand perhaps he was in earnest,
intensely in earnest. And why not Z:
He is not alone, by any means. The
goal of the presidency is not an am
bition to be ashamed of, and it is said
that every American boy is born with
dream in his heart of being Presi-
dent some day. Probably there is

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The way a bachelor learns so much
he ought not to know is by never tell
ing where he learns it.
To save his life a man can't make his
wife distinguish the difference between
his being cross and sick.
Many girl who isn't red-headed but
pretends to be is so smart she can fool
any man about it till she gets married
to him.
The two things that woman tries to
work into the reason for her husband
not feeling well are the weight of his
underwear and insomnia.
Whether a woman's gown has seven
yards of train to it or consists princi-
pally of three feathers and bow
shoulder straps, she can manage to
spend on it all the money she can get
out of her husband or father.-NeW

The Philadelphia Ledger points out
that cooperative medical treatment, as
advocated before last weeks confer
ence of co-workers at Lewiston, is not
a new thing in this country. In many
places societies exist which employ
physicians at a yearly rate for each
member, and they seem to do very well.
By paying a nominal sum, usually s. a
year, member is entitled to the SER
vices of a physician for as long time
as he may be ill, and he is thus re-
lieved of one of the greatest expenses
of sickness. In some other societies,
frequent among the coal miners, the
members pay the doctor a few cents
each month while they are we'll, and he
treats them gratuitously when they
are sick. Both plans appear to give
satisfaction. The latter is said to be
the system in vogue among the
Chinese.
