WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION
Free From Drudgery She Studies an
IHJYi+oc


Emancipation of women is based far
more upon Inventions and devices
which have lightened her labors in the
household than on any change of opin-
ion as to her status in the social struc-
ture. Every one has heard Of the old
adage, HMan's work is from sun to
sun, but woman's work is never
DONE" No one doubts that this was
once true. Not so many years ago, a
woman we might work INCREASINGLY thru
without getting her housekeeping du.
ties done satisfactorily. " :
But the spirit Of invention has
wrought a change. Oil lamps did away
with the work of making candles;
stoves shortened the period devoted
to cooking; sewing machines relieved
her Of laborious hand stitching; many
other inventions worked to the same
end. Given more freedom from her
work, woman studied more, read more,
devoted more time to social inter-
course. AS years passed, she has TAX
en- higher place in the intellectual
world.
Yet there was one form of drudgery
to which, until few years ago, WON
an seemed ever doomed. This was the
old, disagreeable process of washing
clothes. Ordinary laundry soaps man
ufactured by machinery helped no
more than relieve her Of the trouble
of making her own soap. It seemed
that certain amount of boiling, much
hard rubbing, unhealthy steam and
nauseous odors must ever make wash
day dark day in the week.
But even this has been remedied by
comparatively recent discovery
The product of this discovery is Fels-
Naptha Soap. By it's use, clothes may
with no boiling, virtually little rub
bling, and the whole process occupies
little over half the time. At the end
the clothes are cleaner, sweeter and
whittier than if washed in the old-fash-
toned hot-water way. -. .'f
| Fels-Naptha is germicide also, de.
stroying all danger Of spreading dis.
ease by mingling clothes in the&wash
It costs no more than ordinary laun
| dry soap.

BRYAN IN
Will Attend the Coronation OF King
Haakon-WiH shortly Leave for
England.

TrOndhjem, Norway, June q. Will
lam j. Bryan has arrived he's to at
tend the coronation of King Haakon.
Mr.. Bryan taking for his text the
statement that he was being described
as conservative, said:
Il am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me; but |
am responsible for my position on pub
lie questions. That position ought to
be we'll known. Take the trust ques-
ton for instance, as it seems upper
most just now. My position is that
private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerable. That was the democratic
platform in 1900 and the plank was in
c~Orporated in 1904 and it is the only
tenable position.
There is some talk of controlling
the trusts-you might as we'll talk Of
controlling burglary. We do not say
men shall only steal a little bit, or IN
some particular way, but hat they
shall not steal at all. 1t is so of pri-
vate mOnopolies. 1t is not sufficient to
control or regulate them-they mus
be absolutely and totally destroyed.
Corporations should be controlled and
regulated but private monopOlies must
be eXterminated, root and branch. Now
you a call hat a radical doctrine.
Yet it is mOr conservative to apply
this reemdy now than to wait until
predatory wealth has by its lawlessness
brought odium on legitimate accumu-
latiOns.
What used to be called radical is
now called conservative, because peo-
pie have been investigating. The doc
trine has o changed, but public sem
timent is making progress"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend a
week in Norway and will then go to
England.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
House DeVOtcS Time TO Consideration
of the Conference Report

Washington, June 21.-The house
today devoted much tim to the discus
sion of the conference report on the
naval appropriation bill, in which Mr..
FOss, of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee was defeated by the other
house leaders. The house was not in
a humor to accept the partial confer
ence report, nor did it desire to leave
some Of the senat amendments with
out expressing its judgment upon
them. In consequence, by a close out
effective vote the cOnferees were in
structed to concur in the senate
amendment relating TO the big battle
ship, which provides that its type, dis
placement and tonnage must be re-
ported to congress before any proposal
is accepted.
Several minor amendments were
also passed upon and then the report
was disagreed to and the conferees,
consisting of Mr.. Foss, Nh. Louden-
slayer and Mr.. Meyer were re-appoint-
ed. After the disposition of the naval
bill the pure food bill occupied the
attention of the house until adjourn
ment.

Washington, June 21.-The senate
today took a position in accord with
the president and the house of repre-
sentatives by declaring for a lock canal
across the isthmus of Panama. The
result was reached a few minutes after
3 o'clock and after a days discussion
that was almost devoid Of Interesting
inCident-Quite out of keeping with the
universally acknowledged Importance
of the subject.
There was only one record vote in
connection with the disposition Of the
question and that was negative in
character, coming or a motion to lay
on the table the lock type substitute
fCT the sea level bill reported by the
committee on inter-uceanic canals
This motion a made by Senator
K~ittTedge, the committee champion of
the sea Level plan and was voted down
81 to IS. This vote was accepted as
decisive and no me asked for a divis-
ion on the vote on the acceptance of
the substitute, which reads as follows:
That a lock canal be constructed
across the ISthmus Of Panama con-
Meeting the waters of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, Of the general type, pro-
posed by the minority Of the board Of
consulting engineers, created by order
of the president dated June "A, 1905,
in pursuance of an act entitled An
Act to provide for the construction Of
a canal connecting the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans approved
June %, 1902
The vote is generally accepted as
ending a long contest n definitely
settling the type of the great waterway
by which the two oceans are to be
united. It terminates what at one
time threatened to become a sharp
difference between the senate on one
end and the president and the house
on the other for there is no denying
that when the bill was reported from
committee the indications in the senate
were all favorable to the sea level type.
There has recently, however, been a
steady gain by the lock advocates, not
Wi~thstanding the report of the canal
committee, as we'll as the report Of
the board of consulting engineers were
against them.
The engineers report has figured
prominently in the discussion and fire.
quent attention has been called to the
fact that while eight out Of the thlr-
teen engineers reported %favorably to
a sea level canal. all Of the five dis
Senters were American engineers while
of the eight, five were Europeans.
Some senators avOwed their preference
for the all-American report.
Senators Kittridge, Cullom, Scott,
Foraker and Dick spoke on the bill
today, but none of them talked at
great length.
The remainder Of the day was de-
voted to the discussion of the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill appro-
priating s25. 900 to pay the expenses OF
the president when travelling n the
subject was unfinished when the Sen
ate adjourned for the day. Senators
McLaurin and McCumber criticised the
provision sharply.
