Unsuited to This Progressive Age.
1t has always progressed our COM
prehension that women who do not
want to vote should so violently op-
pose those who do. A difference of
opinion concerning the proper sphere
to coerce dissent into acquiescence
is a refined form of intolerance with
which we have no sympathy. We be.
lieve in freedom with capital F.
and We have little patience with those
women who would deny to others a
privilege or right simply because they
do not wish to exercise 1t themselves.
The associations opposed to the ex-
tension of suffrage to women occasion
ally send us their publications, with
a request to notice them editorially.
We comply with pleasure. These as
sociations are. in our opinion, deserv-
ing of nothing but the disapproval of
ali liberal-minded people. They are
anachronisms. They are unsuited to
the progressive age in which We live,
and opposed to the tendency of the
times, which is in the direction of lib

ity without distinction of sex.
We believe that the exclusion of
women from the polls is one of the
causes of political corruption, but we
contend that, whether it is or not,
there is no natural right possessed by
men which ought not to be shared by
women. The ethics of the question
do not concern us any more than does
the more debatable question of exped
iercy. 1t is enough for us that all
persons are born free and equal; and
the fact that few intolerant womer
deny the right of their sex to politica
equality with men, leaves us unconvin
ced so long as one solitary woman ex

There is no argument used by theS'

THE ORCHARD CONFESSION
II Made the Arrest Of the Federation
Leaders imperative-Fair Play

Boise, March Ex-Governor Gooding
has received numerous communlca'
tions from labor organizations and
other associations throughout the
country in respect to the arrest and
prosecution of Charles H. Meyer, pres
ident of the Western Federation OF
Miners; William D. Haywood, secre-
tary, and George A. Pettibone.
One of these is sent by a commit

tons on behalf of the union. The
committee states they are submitted
for the purpose of disabusing your
mind that 'unionism' is 'anarchism.
The resolutions are moderate in
tone but in some measure reflect the
idea so widely disseminated that the
prosecution of these men is in pur-
suance of a conspiracy. The governor
and Mr. Hawley are asked to weigh
the confessions carefully and to use
their best efforts to secure fair and
impartial trial for the accused. They
ask that the men be given full oppor-
turity to prove that the confessions
are trumped up evidence, solicited
by rich corporations for the sole pur-
pose of disrupting uniOnism in the
western states and probably put to
death two American citizens, who had
not done anything but act as officials
OF the Western Federation Of Miners
In view of misconception of the at
t:tude of the state that seems to be Sc
widely prevalent among laboring men
the governor has sent reply to the
Evansville resolution in which he sets
forth the purpose of the state very
carefully and fully. The governor Sci
forth the belief that the members o.
the Evansville union have been mis-

manager, is given, and the statement
made he is not to receive any reward
other than his stipulated fee and ex-

AS to the confession secured from
Orchard, the letter states Mcfarland
visited him, informed him who he
was and asked him to tell the truth
about the matter. No promise Of any
character was made, and Orchard
fully expects to pay the penalty for
the crime which he has confessed.
The letter continues He told a
story of conspiracy and murder against

GREAT CHIEF JOSEPH.
A NOBLE AND BELOVED AMERI'
CAN INDIAN WHO DIED OF A
WOUNDED HEART.


Pathetic Tale of Governments Bro

coined Lewis and Clark In Their
Western Explorations.
C. J. BLANCHARD.
The most picturesque character Of
the western frontier passed away last
year when Chief Joseph Of the Nez
Perces, or, as they knew him, In.mut'
too-yah.lat-lat (Thunder travelling over
the mountains), folded his blanket
about him and passed beyond the Great
Divide The members Of his tribe,
all Of whom were si1gularly devoted
to him, and the privileged few of the
white race who knew him intimately
believe that this great leader, perhaps
the greatest Indian leader Of the
period, died Of inconsistencies and heart
ache.
To know Chief Joseph was TO have
revealed to you a glimpse into van
ished past. There was a loftiness and
dignity mingled with a charming
naivete in his manner, and tendei
pathos in his speech, that made you

It was in this valley that the grand.
father Of Chief Joseph welcomed the
daring explorers, Lewis and Clark.
Speaking of them, Joseph said: "They
talked straight, and our people made
them a great feast. All the Nez Perces
made friends with Lewis and Clark,
and agreed to let them pass through
the country, and never to make war on
white men. And this promise the Nee
Perces have never broken. No white
man can accuse them of bad faith, and
speak with straight tongue. 1t has
always been the pride Of the Nez Perces
that they were the friends Of the white
men,"

When the prince was sixteen he was
given the freedom of the royal stables
and told that he could select one of
the fine Arabian ponies for his own
use. He asked IL he could look after

life do with their ponies, and his
fathers reply was:

Eitel did care for his pony and spent
many moments learning all about the
needs and nature of horses. He dis
covered that his Arabian could jump

lighted the emperor, who was riding

Great Chief Joseph.

In the war which followed, Joseph
led his little band, as only great gen.
eral could lead them, but; the Nez
Perces never had chance to win.
Joseph surrendered to General Miles.
and for years the tribe was moved back
and forth over the country regardless
Of promises made when they sur
rendered. After one of Joseph's visits
to Washington, where he met the Pres.
ident, the Cabinet officers, and num-
erous congressman, he remarked:
They all say they are my friends, and
that ! shall have justice, but while
their mouths all talk right, l do not
understand why nothing is done for

Remarkable Eject Of Vibrations.

From time to time scientists advance
new theories of the cause Of some OF
the miracles mentioned In the Bible,
and now the miraculous fall Of the
walls OF Jericho is said by men Of
learning to have been caused by the
fact that the tone pitch Of the trum.
phets Of the followers Of Joshua was
exactly In harmony with the sensitive
tone Of the walls. When the trum-
pets were blown they set the walls
Of the biblical town to vibrating and
