Representative Champ Clark, OF Mis-
souri,. has a queer idea of protecting
American labor. He would fight a pro-
tective tariff designed to prevent free
competition. but in the ocean car
rying trade, where free trade exists, he
would protect American sailors by making
il impossible for the ship owners of the
United States to employ Chinese or half
Chinese at lower wages, do the ships
of other nations sailing the Pacific The
main reason now why American ships
cannot compete in the ocean-carrying
trade is the higher-priced American labor,
the wages paid by American ships be-
ing much higher than British German
and other European wages for sailors. Mr..
Clark's amendment will draw the Ameri-
can flag from the Pacific because the
American ship cannot pay s. for the same
labor that competitors get for 81.

Mrs. George out Of place in giving
lectures a hundred miles away from

more time in one year travelling
about the country leoturing, not

take her to perform all her political
duties for a lifetime. If she can
make these long journeys and be
away from home for days together,
it would seem as II the average
woman might take half an hour
once a year TO 60 and cast a vote.

Woman Suffrage.

We suspicion that 1t is true enough
that woman would obstruct the
polls by refusing TO vote until she
was sure her hat was on straight,
but we also suspicion that she
would more than make up for this
by seeing that her conscience was on
straight too, which is a point that is
absent mindedly neglected by many
an image Of his Maker that wears
pants.
Some persons that mistake a bal
liver for cynicism often hint around
that women would bn sure to vote
for the handsome candidates only
In looking over the portraits Of the
respected fellow citizens that run all
over the United States this year for
offices Of all kinds from constable to
congress, It struck as that if women
waited to cast their ballots for
har dsome men they wouldn't DO
likely to roll up a real heavy vote
anywhere in this country.
We never could prevail on our
selves to take much stock in the
theory that women like handsome
men. They certainly don't seem to
marry them.
It is true TINT women would be
handicapped in politics because they
cau't we'll hang over a bar and we
note that few men can get real
close knowledge Of the issue OF the
day until after the third drink.
Women might have to use intuition
instead of the more reliable and bet
ter known brands Of rum to find out
how she ought to vote. Intuition
is a female talent that is despised
by man, but it is a good deal less
noisy than his talents and does not
produce nigh as bad taste in the
mouth next morning
When woman has the suffrage it
is not likely that she will make
election bets never TO wash or comb
her hair or to wheel another woman
through town in a barrow if her
candidate amt elected She also
will probably be content to consider
that election is over when the votes
are counted. Perhaps she will feel
badly for awhile and say that the
other side is mean thing, but after
that she will see that the children
are dressed and sent to school as
usual and she won't spend the rest
of the week in a ginmill explaining
how it happened and tapering off.
If woman should bet hat on the
election and lose she would proba-
bly, pay her bet. We admit that
this would be an outrageous innova-
ton and a blow at the bulwarks OF
the republic It is the only danger
we can see in woman suffrage.

the WASHINGTON LETTER.

The provisions Of the Chinese ex-
clusion still continue to monopolize
the floor Of the senate, the length OF
the debate having been a matter of
surprise to all concerned. The sac
rifices which the United States has
made in its dealings with the Phil
ippines would go for naught if the
bill under discussion were to violate
the treaty with China and, as all
appreciate the value of the Oriental
trade and are equally anxious that
nothing shall disturb the "open
door, the senator's have felt oblig-
ed to give the matter most careful
consideration before enacting a new
law. As the situation now stands a
number Are in favor Of re-enacting
the Geary. law rather than the bill
reported by Senator Penrose. Sen
ator Cullom is opposed to the bill
because he believes it violates the
Chinese treaty and Senator Calling
er has expressed himself as opposed
to exclusion. Senator aoar opposes
the bill on the ground that IL strikes
at men because Of their race rather
than at vice and concluded a brief
but forcible speech with these
words u will not bow the knee to
