THE DIVINE RIGHTS OF men
Receive Some Hard Blows. Argument
for Equal Rights

The crowning event of the con-
vention Of the Oklahoma and IL
dian Territory Equal Suffrage As
sociation was the address of DR..
Frances Woods on last evening.
For logic, elequence and charm,
DR.. Woods has few equals on the
platform in America
This last most interesting session
began with violin solo, the beauti-
full Elegy by Ernst, in which Miss
Vera La Quay exhibited the tenn
perament and training of a true ar
tist Miss La Quay was admirably
accompanied by Miss VI sye G'ltra.
Rev. S. v. Fai. offered prayer
for the divine blessing upon the
members Of tie convention and
the work, after which the new
Territoria, Secretary, Mrs Albert
Harris, read several kilograms from
distant symp1thizers. III a few
earnest and po nted remarks the
Rev Mr., Bennett placed himself
squarely on the side of TIE equal
suffrage because it is right.
Mrs. Frank Meyers sang a pat
riotic song, which ELECTED raptur
ous applause after each verse. Mrs.
Meyers singing was a most de-
lightful feature of the program,
fairly taking the audience BY storm,
For encore after her first number
she gave tender mother-song, with
the refrain there's nothing sweet
er, better than my baby's kiss,
showing that the eternal wonanly
survives even in equal suffrage con
ventions. By special request Mrs
Meyers sang several times, during
the evening, accompan ed BY Miss
May Rishel who also played q
charming piano solo.

evening spoke for an hour and a
half. She said she was amazed at
the citizens Of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. Coming from a
northern state where widely diff
fereut matters absorbed the atten-
tion of the people, she dropped into
a population seething with the one
great paramount question, state
hood. She hears how we must
have it, can't do without it, are
indignant that tits so long delayed.
Why in the name of common
sense do you want statehood? She
Isl d zed to find that the things men
are saying about what she wants
are the same things the enemies Of
statehood say against statehood.
"Tbey say you have less taxation
now than YOU will have after you
become a state. They say you are
being better taken care Of by the
more experienced and capable
states, (Arkansas, Texas, Nebraska
and Missouri, than you could
take care Of yourself. But you say
you wait self government Aren t
you bit stupid to want so much
OF what we think is bad for your
Are you not prosperous But you
say we are not self-governed.'
But we say you are, through these
other states, which know more
than you do about it. You say
you might not do things any better
but you might have them more as
you want them"
Astonishing When men use
their ballots to exempt women from
taxation they may claim a philan-
thropic motive in opposing woman
suffrage. Lincoln and Lee were
great because in the battle for the
right as they saw the right, they
kegt back nothing for themselves.
Charles Sumner failed in his great
ambition to be called the champion
Of human liberty because believing
in equal suffrage, he compromised
on negro suffrage. Losing the
vision Of the great principle he
stood for when his own ambition:
seemed the price. he took par
for the whole. He failed by whai
he gained, and abridged his owr
greatness.

Contractors are congregated there
from various state and Territories,
securing contracts for grade work,
stone work, and various other work,
and letters are pouring in from
contractors at distance. While
none Of the contractors b We thier

will be here just as soon as they can

However, in the next few days
several contractors will be moving

Professor w. r. Barrett, +. r. s.,
says that the birthplace of the mod
ern divinlng rod, whether used to locate
minerals or water, was In the mining
districts of Germany, probably the
Hnrz mountains. Its first recorded use
was In prospecting for mineral lodes.
The first mention Of the use OF the
modern rod was In the Inter part OF
the fifteenth century. Books published
In the sixteenth century have pictures
Of miners searching for mineral veins
In very buslncssllke way by noting
the dipping of n hazel or willow rod,
the forkcd ends of which are held In
the hands of m expert.
German miners brought the forked
rod into England toward the end Of the
sixteenth century for the exploitation
OF the Cornish mines. Professor Bar
rett points out that the dropping char

lievcd TO have something to do with the
minerals concealed in the ground and
