Suffrage of Women.

Good or bad, Chicago club women
says the Philadelphia Record, wished
the opinions of city mayors as to muni
cipal suffrage for women, and in pur-
suance of the desire, the legislative
committee of the Illinois Equal Suf
frage association, of which Mrs. Cath
crime Waugh McCulloch is chairman,
formulated and sent out a series of
questions which covered the ground
very fairly. Mrs McCulloch sent 200
of these letters to mayors in the five
equal suffrage states-Colorado, Wyo,
ming. Idaho, Utah and Kansas.
The number of replies amazed me, -
says Mrs. McCulloch. Il have been
simply swamped with them. Every
letter of the $50 mayors who favor
woman suffrage is an eloquent and
often quite learned treatise in favor
of extending the right to vote to wo-
men. Verify, neither the age of chivalry
nor of the political acumen requisite
to read the signs of the times can yet
be said TO have become extinct"
Some of the questions were:
Do women vote in considerable num-
bers?
Are they corrupted by their partici-
patton in elections?
Are the polling booths generally To-
Gated in places fit for women to enter?
Is there more or is there less bribery
and corruption in elections?
Are better or worse men elected to
office?
Are women generally in favor of law
and order; do they take an intelligent
interest in municipal affairs; are they
public spirited and ready to rally 10
the support of bright and honorable
men of progressive views?
Are there enough bad women vo-
ters to be a menace?
Do you recommend woman suffrage
in cities?
Over 160 mayors have been heard
from. OF these $50 were unqualifiedly
in favor of women having municipal
suffrage; nine were noncommittal and
one opposed.
Rock Island Argus., 1906-08-07

to follow up such breaches in the civ
il courts was a proper subject of crfti-
cism. But" he is reported as saying,
''tRe constitution itself recognizes a
free press as such critical agent. y
Thereupon, he proceeded to develop his
views regarding the privilege and the
duties of the press in a way that should
be enlightening to those who miscon-
strue the mission of the press. This is
what he said:
"A newspaper can print anything,
even to erroneous statements. 1t can
print anything except malicious lies
Its function in the government is to
investigate. TO pry into the business
OF every department of the government
and to criticize wherever it sees fit.
1t sometimes makes me out of patience
with newspapers that all do not realize
their function. and that they are vir-
tually a part of the government. 1t is
their duty to find out evils wherever
they exist and bring them to the atten-
ton of the responsible authorities.
phey are the great safeguards against
corruption in public office"
If there is aught in the thought that
the press has an important function to
perform and that as the Philadelphia
jurist says, it is part of the govern
ment, then it is high time for public
sentiment to awaken to the discrimin-
ating sense of justice that should ap-
ply in the premises.
1t is the respectable press that con-
stitutes the strong factor that the Phila-
delphia jurist speaks of in upholding
the strong arm of justice and the
sword arm of the government.

For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. .Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWOmen.-WOmen suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

The Function oil the Press.

A Philadelphia judge, who is men,
toned in the public prints as one of
the most astute jurists who have ever
sat on the bench in that city. is quoted
as having said some very interesting
things recently in the course of instruc-
tons given to the members of a grand
jury.
This jurist, Judge SuIzberger. having
been advised by the foreman of the
grand jury that the jury desired to
make a presentment against a street
cleaning contractor who was charged
with having failed to fulfill the terms
of his contract according to specifica-
tons. surprised everyone in the cours
by emphatically stating that the mere
breach. of a contract was not a sub:
ject for the criminal courts. "Such
breach" he said, ''is only cognizable in
the cli courts when it reaches the
proportions of common nuisance.
The idea Judge Sulzberger went on
to develop was that breaches of con-
tract should be pursued by civil action
and that any failure of public officials
