FAITHFUL TO HER CAUSE.
Some of the Sayings of the Late
 Susan B. Anthony.

"No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent" 'Self-government is as. necessary for the best development of women as of men,"
 "The greatest compliment ever paid me was that by my life work I had helped to make the conditions of the world better for women."
 ''If you would have your requests granted, your legislators must know that you are part of a body of con- stitutents who stand with ballots in their hands"
 ''So long as state constitutions say that all may vote when 21, save idots, lunatics, convicts, and women, women are brought down politically to the level of those other disfran- chised. This discrimination is a relic of the dark ages. The most ignorant and degraded man who walks to the polls feels himself su- perior to the most intelligent wo- man 'n" ""'"o"T" TeNoTn nt puiogaosap
 That women are lawful citizens, is undeniable, since the law recog- nizes them as such through the visits of the assessor and the tax gatherer; since it recognizes them as such in the police stations, the jails, the courts and the prisons. Only at the ballot box is the lawful citizen ship of women challenged"
 Who can doubt that when the representative women of thought and culture, who are to-day the moral backbone of our nation, sitsin counsel with the best men of the country, higher conditions win be the result?" z.
 "I do not agree that we have too many voters now. Instead of that, say we have just one-half enough, for majority of the opinions of all the people combined is sure to be better than the opinion of any one class. They call it mistake giving to poor and uneducated men the right to vote, whereas the greatest wrongs in our government are per petrated by rich men, the wire-pull- ing agents of the corporations and monopolies, in which the poor and the ignorant have no part" i
 Tt is in order to lift the millions of our, wage-earning women into a position of as much power over their own labor as men possess that they should be invested with the fran chise. This ought to be done not only for the sake of justice to the women, but to the men with whom they compete"
 "I urge all to study the intricate problems of bettering the world; not merely the individual sufferings in it, but the general conditions, Such study will show the great need of a new balance of power in the body of polite: and the conscientious stu dent must arrive at the conclusion that this will have to be obtained by enfranchising a new class-women."

TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1906.

From provisional sketches it seems that the new monster battle ship projected for the American navy is just about twice as large in every respect as the old Texas. She throws about six times as much metal as the Texas, and 1t would not be surprising if the old second class battleship would be requisitioned to act as tug at the launching.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Italian Emigrants Try to Hack Way
With Knives to Safety.

London. Aug 6.-The Madrid correspor-
dent of the Daily Telegraph describes the
Sirio disaster as one of the worst on
record. The Italian emigrants, with
knives in their hands and without regard
for the women or children. fought with
the greatest brutality for the possession
Of life buoyS and boats. Many were kill

bcrs of the crew, who were attacked by
enliCrants. III
When the captain saw the vessel was
lost and that the emigrants had captured
the boats, he committed suicide by shoot

then lost their heads and there was no.

Law W0RKSWELL.

All Primaries Are Held on
Same Day in Illinois.
Republican Congressman En-
dorsed by Constituents.
Except In Contested Districts Voting Is Light
only a Third Cast In Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--For the first time
in the history of Illinois, all the prim-
aries of all the parties were held on
the same day, and voters were given
an opportunity to express their pref
erences through the ballots for candi
dates for United States senator and to
nominate by instruction other candi-
dates from congressman down to sher-
iff.
The new primary law passed by the
special session of the Legislature last
spring was given it's first trial and
gave general satisfaction. In the tenn
pestuous districts in Chicago the vote
was large, but in the districts where
there were no local contests, apathy
was manifested by the voters and in
these precincts the vote was SO light
that it pulled down the total for the
city to about 10000 out Of a total
registration of $4,000 votes.
The greatest interest in the election
centered in the vote for endorsement
for United States senator and for the
nomination of Republican congressman
in the Second and Sixth districts. both
in Chicago. The voters cast their bal
States senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, For
mer Governor Richard Yates and Will
liam G.. Webster.
The Democrats had no candidate for
senator. Saturdays vote for senator
is formally but not politically binding
on members of the Legislature. In
Chicago Senator CullOm received near
ly twice as many votes as Former Gov.
Yates, and from the scattered returns
throughout the state the indications
are that the senior senator from ILL
nois will carry the state. The total
vote for cast in Chicago for United
States senator was: Cullom, 36,7S3;
Yates, 21,297: Webster 2S71.
Congressman William Lorimer Of
the Sixth distgict and Congressman
James r. Mann of the Second district
both secured large majorties i'm their
districts. In both these districts the
feeling was intense.

These facts becoming known to Cor
oner Smell. who had awaited for few
moments the result Of the search. he
decided that an inquest would not be
necessary and accordingly took his de-
parture.

soon after arrived. They were unani-
mously of the opinion that murder had
been committed. Said one of the gentle
men:
THAT mans hat would never be
seen 50 close to the rope as that, had he
taken his own life
The two physicians were both posi-
tive in declaring that the man must
have died at some time during the pre-
vious evening and that he had made
no struggle and in all probability no
movement of any kind since the rope
had frightened about his neck. They
agreed in the conviction that the man
had been carried to the rope dead.
DR.. Witherell declared that if the
man had died of StranSulation the low
er limbs of the body would have made
some movement from the natural po-
sition in which they were found. as if
the deceased had calmly taken his po-
sition in a chair. DR.. Witherell more
over declared that had the man been
stranglcd the mouth would have been
open, whereas his Jaws were firmly set
and the eyes closed.
An interview which the Journal man
had with Nh Gleason also throws light
on the case Mr.. Gleason was positive
that the pitchfork had been removed
from the place where .he had placed it
standing against the door the night be-
fore. He says that whoever committed
the deed had searched for some time
and mad made use of the rope with
much difficulty.
An attempt had been made to secure
a long rope which had been attached to
a chain connecting the block of his
hay fork to the implement. Mr.. Glea-
son said that short time ago he had
tried in vain, even with the aid Of
blows from hammer 10 unite the
knot of the chain and failed. The chain
was united, but instead of making use
of the rope, "a search had been made
for another and two ropes, one woven,
half an inch in diameter. which had
been taken from n halter. and another
which had been found in the barn,
had been tied together for the purpose.
The remains will be- sent to Portland
this morning. where an autopsy will
be performed.

tests in the northeast corner of the

are an index. pointing often with I'M
erring certainty, to the results to
come in the great Presidential con-
test. 1t has often been said, "As goes
Maine. so goes the Nation" The sur
nrise TO me while here is the absurd
claim of some of the Democrats that
the State will go with the minority
party this fall and the possibility that
q Legislature casting majority OF
Democratic votes on joint ballot would

and think it is one of the instances
where the wish is father to the

full victory would be disastrous and
the disaster would be felt with greater

has honored the office as much as it

by a political nedgling without cxper-
fence and it would be the exchange in

by retaining Senators Hale and

herself a position in national affairs
