EQUAL RIGHTS
Mrs. Livermore's Interest In Woman
Suffrage.

Mrs. Mary \. Livermore, whose
recent death has called forth words
of appreciation, love and admira-
tion from those who have known of
her work all over the civilized
world, never lost her interest in all
worthy reforms. In an address not
long ago, after reviewing the good
work that women are now doing in
multitude of lines formerly
thought impossible to them said:
"The ballot is the synonym and
symbol of equality in a republic.
We must nave this symbol Of equal
ity before women can do their best
work in any department of life.
Now, they are most of the time try
Ing TO undo the mischief done by
Others, or by the law.
"Women are allowed to look
after the detectives and unfortu-
mates, but they want to get back
behind the causes of pauperism and
insanity, and in nine-tenths of the
cases these result from bad laws.
"Women have no antagonism
toward men. We love men quite
as well as we ought TO and often
better. They only need to bcckon
at any moment, and we are ready
to rush to the uttermost. 1t is this
very wish to help that makes us long
for the ballot.
During the Civil War, the major
of the goth Indiana Regiment was
brought to my home in Chicago
with seven partly healed wounds
received at Gettysburg. He told
mo that in the beginning of the bat.
tie his regiment was stationed on
hill am ong the reserves. The
smoke hid the battlefield; they could
not see what was going on, and
the screaming of the shells was so
terrible that he found himself trem-
bling with fear. After awhile the
smoke blew away, and they could
see, on a hill opposite, other re-
serves, including the 18th Indiana.
Presently the other reserves were
ordered down, and the major cried,
"Boys, there goes the 18th Indiana
into the fight !" The grape and
canister tore through them, moving
great swaths. oh they went, keep
ing step and time making their way
around the great mounds of dead.
And the 2oth Indiana watched in
agony the slaughter of their com
rades and friends, and the major
cried, ooh God, why don't they
call us reserves into action ? We
could charge down the hill and
spike these guns (" / think of this
as read the papers, and as | 60
among the slums. say to myself,
ooh God, why do not these beloved
men, the halves of ourselves, call
on us, their reserves ? We could
save them
"The same lesson came to us
from our sick and wounded soldiers
during the Spanish war; it comes to
us in all charitable and philanthropic
work. 1t is this that makes me
now facing my 84th birthday-still
keep asking that we women may
be classed not politically with the
State prison conyicls but with the
men Of our own households, whom
we have helped to make and rear"

ROOSEVELT AND THE STAND
PATTERS.

The President, in trying to reform
the world and everybody and every
thing in it, is getting somewhat
tangled in his dates. His recent
public pronouncemenls on railroad
rate regulation, and those of a part,
at least, Of his official family have
been to the effect that he wanted
government rate regulation in order
to build up the commerce OF the
country. That harp string has been
played on for all ii was worth in aid
OF the Presidential aspiration of his
friend, Secretary Taft, whom he
evidently is trying to make his resi-
duary legatee. American producers

WEST VIRGINIA DAY
Flag Day-A Proclamation By the
Governor.

On the I4th day of June, I777,
the Congress of the United States
Of America enacted: THAT the
flag OF the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation" Later,
the Congress fixed the shape of the
flag TO be the thirteen stripes and a
star for each State. Thus, the an.
niversary of the birth Of our Flag
falls on the 4th of June. On the
2oth day of June 1868, West Virgin
ia became a sovereign State of the
Union, and en- the following Fourth
of July a new star in her honor was
fixed in the flags field of blue. The
anniversary of the birth of our Flag

celebrate both, and being impractl-
cable to celebrate each separately,
and it appearing proper and appro-
pirate to celebrate the two together:
Therefore, l, VIM. NJ. o. Daw-
son, Governor of the State of West
Virginia, do hereby designate Tues.
day, the goth day of June, 1905, as
WEST VIRGINIA FLAG DAY
and direct that the custodians of the
buildings Ct the State, wherever 10.
Gated, cause the State buildings to
be appropriately decorated with the
Red, White and Blue.
| earnestly request that the muni-
cipal officers of our towns, cities and
villages likewise cause all municipal
buildings TO be likewise decorated;
and that all our citizens will display
from their dwelling and business
houses the Flag of our common
country.
suggest that the editors of our
newspapers make editorial comment,
and publish in their papers histori-
cal articles on the Flag and our
State. Where schools are IN ses-
sion, it is hoped that the teachers
will arrange appropriate exercises.
Patriotic societies are requested to
lend their aid in having a very gem
eral celebration of the natal day of
our Flag and our State. The story
of the Flag, its history, what it cost
in blood and treasure, what it repre-
sents, and of our State. and our du-
ty to each and to our great Repub-
lie, cannot be too often told, nor
too deeply impressed upon us and
our children. The foundations Of
our country rest on the virtue Of our
citizens.
At the request of former citizens
Of this State who now reside on the
Pacific Coast, have designated the
Goth day of June as West Virginia
Day at the Lewis and Clarke Cen
tennial Exposition, to be held in
Portland, Oregon, beginning on the
first day Of June. 1t is therefore re-
commended that all former citizens
of this State now residing on the
Pacific Coast, and such of the ciu-
zens Of West Virginia as may be at
the Exposition on the goth day of
June, JOIN in making West Virginia
Day notable one in the history of
this great exposition.

ssSoME FLORIDA INCIDENTS

The column devoted to these ''in-

lar we have ever printed.
We have three or four well written
incidents in hand from ''Old Timer"
three most excellent ones from Mr..
o. L. Green, of this city. who as
narrator of incidents, especially along
the line of humor. is extremely clever;
we have one in hand from ex-Goyer-
nor Fleming entitled: ''Steamboat-

Days" and the same gentlema"
promises us description of the BAT
tie of the Natural Bridge Mrs.
Ellen Call Long will continue her
contributions on the "Old ITALIA

but the mystery surrounding it that

or under what circumstances you
would not tell me; and you even ex-
acted a promise from me that l
would not speak to Miss Bennett up

deem that 1 have offered you an in
suit, merely because, being indiffer-
ent myself about the locality where
we are to spend the summer, I sug-
gested that you consult Miss Bennett
upon the subject?''
Governor Murriatte looked at the
speakers shining eyes and glowing
cheeks for moment in silence, and
then said:
MY wife. you are doing yourself
as well as your husband an awful in
justice. This conduct, which can
have but one solution, should be far
beneath you"
''And thai solution?" she asked,
with curling lips.
''Jealousyr'
He hurled the word at her scorn-
fully, while his eyes expressed the
contempt for her weakness. that h.,
would not permit his lips to utter;
and she started back as if he had
thrown deadly missive at her.

MED.

''Then will you kindly tell me the
cause of your madness?'' He strobe
up to her side as he put the question,
and for the first time in his life looked
into her face with anger blazing in
his eyes.
ASK that question of your own
conscience, and you will get truth
full answer" she said, turning to the
window.
He followed her, and pausing by
her side said, commandingly:
''Alva, 1 demand that you relate to
me just one instance wherein | have
been remiss in my duty towards you,
She made no answer, and at length
he continued:
For months / have been distressed
beyond measure by your evident I'M

cause for it, SO as to remove the
trouble if it were possible to do so. /

cruel injustice that YOU have done
me and the innocent young lady who
is our daughters governess.'
She stood as motionless and as ST
lent under his words as the marble
statue of ''Hebe" in the grounds be-
low, upon which her eyes were fixed
with stony stare, and her husband
continues:
THAT you should become Jealous

the lot of a married couple, and that
the object of your jealousy should be,

enough to be my daughter, passes

unutterable grief. Speak, my dar-

South Carolina properly repre-

that this amount should easily be
raised by voluntary subscriptions
from such sources, and that it
should be assured in weeks

impossible to address each con-

to arrange all the details as to
what prizes should be awarded
within the State, also as to the

was a large, beautiful holly, full

bright green leaves. Upon this
tree was hung all of the Christ

lanters were suspended, most
brilliantly Illuminating the varied
gifts in varied hues, in lovely
contrast with the foliage of the
holly tree. Before distributing
the presents an elaborate pro-
