BowEN's OBJECTIONS.


BOWEN'S OBJECTIONS.
Mr.. Bowen, in a letter to the British am
bassador. thus stated his objections to
these two important proposed amendments:
"F1rst-They constitute new demands or
claims, and, consequently, can have no
place in this protocol, or In this contro-
Versy.
''Second-You are precluded from gaining
recognition or favor for them by Article 5
of the British protocol of Feb. 13, 1903,
which states that the 80 per cent Of the
customs revenues of Laguayra and Puerto
Cabello are to be assigned for the pay
ment of the British claim. specified in
Article of the said protocol and similar
claims preferred by other governments are
to be alienated for no other purpose 1t is
evident from that agreement that no part
of the said 30 per cent. can he assigned to
pay these new demands or claims.
Thirdly the terms of the British proto-
col of Feb. 13, 1903. the only questions that
are to be submitted to The Hague tribunal
are those relating to the distribution of the
said 80 per cent. and for preferential sub
sequent treatment. These new demands or
claims, therefore, cannot be submitted to
The Hague tribunal.
"Fourth-InaSmuch as the German and
Italian protocols of Feb. 13 1903, contain
the same provisions in regard to this mat
ter as the said British protocol, and as all
of the protocols are duly signed and sealed,
they must be considered binding on all the
parties thereto. The said protocols of Feb.
13, 1903, being binding on all parties thereto.
tiating protocols with the other powers hav-
ing claims against Venezuela. Your new
demands or claims must for that reason
alone be denied recognition and favor"
Another amendment the allies proposed
would have limited the arbitration tribunal
somewhat in the matter of costs, and Mr..
Bowen objected to it, on the ground that
the tribunal itself ought to decide, without
any restriction whatever, when and by
whom the costs of arbitration should be
betrayed. The peace powers have been
given copies of Mr.. Bowen's note in answer
to the allies proposed amendments.

In every paper we pick up

man who is behind. There is a

hind the buzz saw and the man

man behind his fists; and every
thing behind a thing is entered on
the list. But they've skipped
another fellow of whom nothing
has been said-the fellow who is
even or a little ways ahead; who
always pays for what he gets, and
whose bill is always signed; he's a
blamed sight more important than

In no state where the people
have extended the suffrage to
women, and therefore have had
opportunities to observe the facts
of its actual operation, has there
been any effort to repeal such
laWsi There are people in the
states where women vote who
were anti. suffragists before wom-
en- were en~franchised, and who are
so still, but every year the num-
Der of those who advocate woman
suffrage is larger than the year
before. Hundreds Of the most
representative people, both men
and women, have testified time
and again in print, over their own
names, that woman suffrage has
brought none of the evils which
the opponents fear, but, instead,
has brought much positive good.
1t has enlarged the outlook OF
women, increased their intelli-
gence and self reliance, has rem
dered homes happier because Of
more intellectual cOmpanionship,
has enn0bled men and dignifed
politics. To all the places where
women vote, the opponents thus
far have not found a dozen re.
spectacle men who assert over
their own names and addresses
that it has had any bad results.

been disappointed with wOmen's
suffrage from the political stand

women are perfectly willing to
waive their political affiliations
and give their decision for the
best man."
To many this very fact that
there was q class of people who
would vote for the best men ire
spective OF party affiliations would
be a source of rejoicing rather
than disappointment.
Is it not strange that in spite OIL
the almost universal testimony to
the contrary from those who have
seen its practical workings, there
