SOUTH A GOOD FIELD
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Leaders of Movement Pro-
feSS tC Think So.
WILL START PROPAGANDA
Believe Reduction of Representation
There by Congress Would Help
Them in Their Efforts.

Advocates OF woman suffrage are like
" to take up soon a movement for The
reduction of the representation of the
Southern States. Shrewd suffrag ists
take the view that If the representation
of the South is cut down because of dis
franchising the negro, the Southerners
will counteract the effect by granting
the ballot TO women.
The National Woman Suffrage Asso
citation will meet In Washington next
February. 1t is likely the question of
a crusade In the South along this line
will be considered. Hitherto the heav-
been directed against the West.
Their Ground for Hope.
Leading suffragists. however. have
come 10 the conclusion that II the re-
duction OF representation in the South
can be effected. 1t will be easy to bring
a large number of States over 10 The
suffrage cause and thus accomplish mora
than would be possible otherwise in
many years.
In speaking of this. one of the leading
suffragists OF Washington pointed out
that in some instances one Northern
Congressman represented as many vot-
ers as five Southern Congressman. She
took the view that it ought to be snsy
10 compel a change in apportionment
under such conditions.
Despair of North and East.
The suffragists have practically given
up hope of New England and the East
ern States. They are hopeful of the
West and OF the South. Just, now they
are interested in the action OF the iowa
Legislature on a measure for the sub
mission of the question OF equal suffrage
TO the people. This measure will be be-
fore the Legislature next winter and the
suffragists are organizing the State and
taking an active part in the campaign
in the different legislative districts for
the purpose of assuring the election OF
men friendly TO their cause.
This winter there will be the usual
effort TO have Congress enact a national
suffrage measure. A large body of noted
suffragists will gather here in Febru-
airy and in a short time the local suf-
frage organizations will appoint com
mittees and make plans FOR heir enter
tainment.

RETAIL BUTCHERS
MAKE COMMON CAUSE
Eastern and Western AssO-
Citations to Meet Here.
WHOLESALERS TO BE FOUGHT
Measures to Be Devised to Put Stop
to Entertainments on the
Retail Trade.

A joint convention of the Eastern and
Western National Retail Butchers Pro-
tective Associations will be held in
Washington, October to 7, for the
purpose OF uniting the two organiza-
tiOns. Uniication is considered of
vital Importance by the members of
both associations TO maintain the fight
against the wholesale dealers who are
encroaching more and more on the re-
tail business. The retailers are con-
WINGED they must stand together or go
; to the wall.
Arrangements are being made on
large scale for the coming convention.
The headquarters for the butchers will
be the Raleigh Hotel. The local com
mittee on arrangements. under the lead
OF Chairman J. z. Donovan. is making
every effort to give the delegates a
good time while in Washington.
Big Barbecue Scheduled.
All the principal points of interest
about the city Will be visited. and prob
ably an excursion made down the river.

ming nine TO receive a $50 silver loving
cup In addition to this there will be
shooting match between the Annapolis

events and wrestling bouts have also
been scheduled.
Split by Discussions.
Since the time when the wholesale
dealers began to make serious inroads
| in the retail trade. the Retail Butchers
| Protective Associations all over the
country have striven to coIapel the
wholesalers to return TO their own
province. Individually they have been
able TO do little. and now they hope TO
win the fight by a united effort. Sew
eral years ago there was but one ma
tional Retail Butchers Protective As
sociation, but it was split up by jeal-
ousies. principally due. IL is said. to
two journals published by the retail
butchers, one in St Louis and the other
/ in New York
! When the head associations meet here
next month, each Will hold its own
meetings. and then IN a joint meeting a
plan OF unihcatiOn will be mapped out
and, it is hoped. adopted.

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
ENTER COMPLAINT
Promotions They Expected
Not Forthcoming.
AN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Advancement Promised Under Beavers
System Could Not Be Made Be-
cause Clearly Illegal.

Many complaints have been received at
the POstoficce Department from organi-
cations of postofice clerks and from in
dividual clerks because promotions and
increases which they were told they
were to receive have not been forth
coming At the department the explana-
ton has been offered as follows:
Tine clerks and their organizations
are laboring under a misapprehension.
The complaints are based on the fact
that early in the year vast number of
promotions was announced. When the
scandals in the Postoffice Department
were investigated 1t was found that one
of the worst was that which involved
Illegal promotions. George W. Be yers.
who was chief of the salaries al
lowances division and who has since
been twice indicted, had charge of the
promotions.
The Washington times., 1903-09-14
Increases Impossible.

Hundreds of names OF clerks IN New
York city alone were given out as the
names of men who were to receive an
increase, but the officials found that un
der the law the increases were impos-
sible. The law provides that a certain
number of increases shall be allowed
to each grade OF clerks. a certain num-
Der to be raised from $500 to $500. from
5000 to $1,000. etc. Beavers totally dis
regarded this check. especially in the
higher grades.
1T was seen at a glance that those
named for promotion in excess of the
number allowed by law would have TO
be disappointed. and they were. This is
what has given rise TO the discomfort
and the complaints which have appear
ed in the papers. The clerks who did
not receive the promised increase are
naturally disgruntled, but nothing can be
done for them the limitations upon
the increases are specifically prescribed
by law"

The most wonderful farm in the

thing is worked by electricity. Two
waterfalls within the bounds of the
farm, some sixty and 1870 feet high,
furnish the motive power, a central
powerhouse being erected near and
tie current is transmitted by wires to
cve.y available place on the farm. Tho
churns and other necessary imple-
me2ts have electric motor attach
