It Is, in most cases, a grave mistake to reason with a worry, says a writer in Leslie's Monthly. We must first drop the worry, and ten do our req soning. If to drop the worry seems impossible, we can separate ourselves from it enough to prevent 1t from inter- fering with our reasoning. very much as if it were neuralgia. There is never any real reason for worry, because, as we all know. worry never helps us to gain, and often is the cause of our losing, the things which we SO much desire.

Speaking of, the conditions prevail ing at Washington one writer says that the common condition of Wash ington-speaking now of residents and not of those who were as sojourn- CTS within the city's walls--he found an unsuitable bent for gossip. Gov ernment was the sole product of the place, the one grist ground at those mills. No one was made to labor more than six hours of the twenty-four. And the term labor meant no more than one-tenth its definition in any most engaged of the citizenry had leisure to settle the worlds most per- plexing concerns, and they generously devoted it to that purpose. Nor were they abashed by any irlsignifcance of their personal estate. Familiarity does not breed contempt, it breeds de- ceit. Those who dwell close to the hub of government, and even though they build departmental fires, sweep departmental floors and empty depart mental waste baskets, from nearness of contact and daily perusal of your truly great, come at last to look upon themselves as being of tremendous inn portance, after the self f-congratulatory example of the thoughtful fly. on the chariot wheel in the fable The least of them behoIds picture of the gov ernment in every looking glass into which he peers. Good politics, as the term is practiced, means. bad patriot ism, and Washington was a nest of politics and nothing else besides A physician whose patients were women of fashion; and that makes practice wherein your doctor may know less medicine and make more money than in any other walk of drugs. 4 woman likes big bills from a physician if the malady treated be her own: she draws importance from the size of the bills. When one reflects that there Is noth- ing to some women except their aches and their ailments, 1t all seems ra- tional enough.

RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE
WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

Whereas. the Statehood bill. now mend
ing before the senate committee on terri
tories, contains in section 3. paragraph
;, and also In section q, paragraph s. the
following provisions:
"Fifth-That said state shall never an
act any law restricting or abridging the
right Of suffrage on account of race.
color, or previous conditions OF servi-
tude. or an account OF any other con.
ditions or qualifications, save and excent
on account OF illiteracy. minority. sex.
conviction of felony. mental condition or
residencei provided, however, that any
such restrictions shall he made uniform
and applicable alike TO all citizens" and
Whereas, this section is Objectionable on
the following grounds:
(a) Such classification is naturally Of
fensive To all women, whatever their feel
ing and desires in regard TO the suf-
frage.
tb) The inclusion of the word sex is
absolutely unnecessary. since women arc
already disfranchlsed I'm the territory I'm
question, and a permission to lay re-
striction which already axists is as use
less n absurd
w iHt INCLUSION OF the wOrd sex is
unjust, as tending 10 influence future ac-
tion of the proposed new states. which
should have the same unfettered right
to decide the question OF woman suffrage
on grounds OF justice and expediency
which is possessed by the states already

Whereas, II is matter OF interest to all
citizens that the proposed new states
should not be burdened with offensive,
unnecessary and unjust restrictions.
Therefore, be II resolved that we. the

clusion OF the word 'sex' In the pro-
