Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-03-23

The Remonstrant, an anti-woman suffrage publication of Boston. in considering the question of giving the ballot to women, takes the ground that very few of thom want it; a view which is supported, to certain extent, by facts. For in- stance, If women, as rule, regard ed voting as either a right or a priv ilege, how is the fact to be account ed for, says one writer, that when partial suffrage has been given them, as, for exampe, in school elections, so few of them exercise it? In Con- necticut not more than one Ter cent, and in Massachusetts not more than four per cent of the women quali- fled by law to vote in school affairs care to avail themselves of the priv ilege. Friends of the woman suf- frage' movement maintain that the issues involved are not of sufficient importance to draw a large vote. Such argument, however, is not con- elusive. If women really wanted the ballot they would vote generally at school elections, if only to demon- strate their desire for large: privi- lege. Moreover, when the question of the expediency of a larger grant of the suffrage was submitted direct ly to the women of Massachusetts at the referendum of 1895, barely four per cent of them expressed desire for it. There are women who want the ballot, and there is no doubt that some of the more ambitious ones want it badly; but to say that these represent a majority. or even con- siderable number of their sex, is to jump at conclusions unwaTrantei by facts. As the Remonstrant puts it: ''Thirty-two state legislatures were in session last year and in most of them women suffrage messrTes were introduced. That not a single legis- lature acted favorably upon such measures is to be attributed i0 the conviction on the part of Legislators that the agitators for suffrage speak for only a small minority of their sex"

MRS. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR. ices. and messages announcing the birth of an heir to the Rockefeller mil lions were sent to all points of the compass.
 The first notification was sent to the baby's grandfather, John D. Rockefel- Ter, who is at his country place at Lakewood, N. ]. The second was to Senator Aldrich, and others were sent to the McCormicks in Chicago.
 The child is the second to be born into the young Rockefeller family. A little girl made her arrival Nov. ?. 1903. She was named after her mother.
 John D. 3d. if that shall be his name, will, when he reaches the age of twenty-one years. be fabulously wealthy if the present rate of growth of the Rockefeller millions continues. It is estimated that John D. Ist has arnassed nearly s1.0O0.OOo.OOO, to the greater psrt of which fortune his son will succeed. And in turn the grand. son will become the possessor of the fabulous sum to which this fortune will have grown within the next twen- ty-one years.

THE RICHEST BABY.
John D. Rockefeller Sd Holds the
 Worlds Record.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Master John Nicholas Brown of Providence has lost his job, one that he had held for over five years. A youngster of the name of John D. Rockefeller Sd, who weighed in at eleven pounds, has wrested from the Rhode Island boy the title of rich est child in the world"
 All of which means that a son has been born to MT. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. It is happy coin cidence and one that may afford little MT. Brown some consolation that the mother of the new holder of the title is Rhode Island woman, for Mrs. Rockefeller was Abbie G. Aldrich, the daughter of United States Senator Aid rich, from Little Rhody.
 Following his entrance there was a hurrying of servants to telegraph of.

The new system of crop reporting recommended by Secretary Wilson appeals to many as the only practical method of getting at such facts as the public demands and the depart ment is designed to furnish. Briefly stated, his idea is to have man in each state to collect reports from township reporters and also to travel through the state making his own observations, thus collecting infor- nation at first hand and qualifying himself to modify the estimates that come to him according to his own Judgment. Under the old system the statistician did all this in the depart ment. Then there are to be special agents travelling around the country, helping and supervising the men in charge of the state reports. The local correspondents the department has been depending upon guess the yield per acre pretty we'll, but they have found it impossible to keep track of the changes in acreage. Where the acreage is increasing they are obliged to confess themselves all at sea. It is at this point of the area sown or planted that the secretary finds the greatest room for improve ment. Of course the plan which he proposes will increase the expenses of his department, but if the thing is worth doing 1t is worth doing we'll. Meanwhile there are those who con- tend that the game, even at it's pres ent cost, is not worth the candle; but this, as Rudyard Kipling would say, is another story.
