Woman Suffrage apd the Press
tBy Mrs Lidia Calvert Obenchain,
Bowling Green, Ky

MIR. EDIToR:-For a long time
the New York Sun has had the dis
tinction of being the only metroPoli-
tan daily that maintained a de-
partment of woman suffrage. This
was edited by Ida Hustled Harper
and was one of the most popular
features of the paper Now the
Philadelphia North American has
established similar department
edited by Marion Evans, an ae
complished journalist.
The occasional suffrage article
is feature of the modern news
paper which no intelligent reader
would willingly dispense with, for
the progress of woman suffrage is
one of the most significant move
meuts in current history. Nearly
every state has its press superin-
tendent and a national press
bureau, sends out thousands Of
articles yearly to mold public
opinion.
That suffrage news is desired by
the people was amply proven a few
months ago by a New York news
paper syndicate. A series of suf-
lrage articles was offered to the
manager, who hestitated about ac-
cepting it lest it prove a loss to
hm. To bis surprise there was a
greater demand for this series than
tor any other material purchased
by the syndicate
If you see a suffrage article in
your county paper, don't write TO
the editor to stop your paper,
but read the article, lay aside
watch for the next suf-
TRACE article and see if YOU can
not educate yourself into a belief
IN Justice for women. This is all
that woman suffrage means. and
surely there is nothing IN this to
wreck the state or break up news

POTTER PALMER
Fame 2cIipsed BY Social Triumphs
Of His Brilliant Wife.

1t was Judge Alfred Conklirg,
who petulantly exclaimed, on see

Potter Palmer Chicago's foremost
citizen IN the closing years Of his
life, writes Chris Hawthorne in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Thirty years
ago he married the beautiful Ber-
tina Honore and ten years later, af-
ter establishing a million dollar
palace on the north shore of Lake
Michigan. he launched her on a so
.clal career of unparalleled splendor
and success. From that moment
his observation began. Back IN
the seventies, when Chicago was in
the first lusty growth of her renais.
sarce from the great FIRE, Potter
Palmer's name was one to coujure
with. Long before that time he
had established the present great
dry goods house of Marshall Field
81 Co., said now to be the largest in
the world.
When Field was a clerk and Phil
Armour towboat captain Palmer
was already millionaire. Before
the fire the Palmer House was
known as the finest hotel west of
New York, and after that disaster
the new hostelry, built on the
smoking embers of the old, held the
prestige. Palmer's hand was in
everything
He was the very type and embod-
iment of all the strenuous virtues
that have made Chicago the queen
city of the inland seas. He retired
from the dry goods business in \the
early seventies and devoted him
self to his hotel and his immense
real estate holdings. Under his
hands hundreds of the finest resi-
dence buildings in the city flew
open as if by magic. He reclaimed
the lake shore on the north side of
the city, and had much to do with
making it what it now is, the: finest
and most exclusive quarter in the
city.
Magnificent mansions flank his
his own palace on the boulevard,
his neighbOrs are all millionares
perhaps the fact that he married
rather late, had something to do
with bis indifference to social plea
sure. He seemed to care little for |
polite functions, but his treasure |
house was always open when his
wife called for munitions of var.

by keeping open house for the ward

He was elected by a tremendous

Now that the latter is gone the
cares of the immense estate will

ANSWERS WITH KISSES.
Bridal Couple Makes Novel Depar-

An innovation connected with the

asked, the bride who was a stunning
blonde reached over and placed her
ripe red lips within easy and suppl

the upturned mouth.
! Justice Pheatt, after waiting a
moment concluded that this was suf-
ficient in the eyes of the law and
asked the groom another question
which was answered by another
kiss. From that time every quest

Today the county commissioners
granted the petition of the Rich

$l2 900 in aid of the road.
The lines of the company are indi-
Gated by their name, with the towns
they will strike. They have fran
chises for the entire length of the
line, and this township, where Bethel

only place where a subsidy
is asked. They expect to start
work by the last of February.
They will come to Richmond over the
Gaar road and strike the city at
twenty -second street.
