PLEA FOR SUFFRAGE
Rev. Anna Shaw Speaks to Both
Iowa Legislative Bodies.
FIGHT WILL NEVER BE GIVEN UP
Attitude of legislature an Indica-
ton That Amendment Will
Win When Submitted.

Special to The journal. u
Des IMoines, Iowa, April 5.-Those mem |
bers of the legislature who thought they !
had, at last buried the equal suffrage |
movement have been completely and
cruelty undeceived by the Rev. Anna B. !
Shaw, of Philadelphia. This prominent
member of the National Woman Suffrage
association was in Des Moines yesterday
afternoon and was prevailed on by her
admirers to speak before the assembly.
She visited the senate first and then spoke
to the house. She declared that the day
Of judgment was probably a good, way
off, but it was not nearly so remote as
the time when the equal suffragists would
| quit coming up to the gates of the legis-
| lature OF Iowa, provided that body did
| not consent to submit the question of
adopting suffrage amendment to the
people.
! The only way to make the sutfragists
stop coming she said was to allow sub
mission. She also declared the suffragists
had taken heart from the reluctance of
| the legislature to submit the suffrage
question to the Iowa people. In that re-
luctance, they saw a sure sign that If an
amendment were submitted it would pre-
vail. So. ~. -es a.t..s,
! Osteopathic Bill.
The osteopathic bill, defining the prac-
tice Of osteopatby has passed the house.
It has now gone through both houses
and will become law. 1t is not entirely
suitable to the osteopathists, for the rea-
son they were anxious to have either a
separate board Of examiners or at least a
member on the present board who should
be an osteopathist. They obtained neither
concession, but the present law is far
from being the stringent one that some
of the old line physicians wanted to be
enacted These would have compelled the
osteopathists to come up to- the standard
required for physicians in all respects
The measure as it has been passed, re
quires that one to obtain certificate to
practice as an osteopathist must have
taken a twenty months course in legal
ly incorporated school Of osteopathy and
hold diploma therefrom and must also
have taken an examination before the
state board of medical examiners in anat-
. omy, physiology, geneology, obstetrics and
) theory Of osteopathy. Osteopaths who are
l graduates of legally incorporated schools
OF Osteopathy and are practicing when
, the law goes into effect. may obtain a
; certificate to practice on registration and
! payment Of prescribed fee.
Blow to the Tontlnes.
t The bill passed by the senate placing
: certain cooperative companies, unincor-
tporated in Iowa, under strict building and
loan regulations, is blow at the tontine
home loan concerns. Auditor Merriam

panies and the bill passed by the senate
was drafted by Attorney General Mullan

Of banking laws, but prevents them fror
