WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.
Republican Speakers Think 1t Is
Slight in Politics.

The West End wornan's Republican Associa-
ton held a campaign meeting yesterday after
noon at the Hotel Astor. but It did not have tho
properly triumphant tone The club was or
Eanised for the purpose OF bringing feminine In
nuence TO bear upon voters. but with the flight
OF years the members seem 10 have grown skepa
teal as to the value Of that influence. and even
the testimony OF the Republican candidate for
Governor. Charles e. Hughes, failed TO reassure
them. alr. Hughes wrote to acknowledge the
receipt Of q copy Of the resolutions Of indorse-
ment adopted By the club at its last meeting
and said; 'I recognize with pleasure the i'm
portant influence exerted by the women OF our
state n support OF decent government.
''I don't like that word influence said Mrs
Emma Beckwith. 81 can't ses that our influence
amounts TO much have been trying to con-
vert my postnlan who says he is going 70 vote
for Hearst and intend TO keep at him until
Election Day. But what ! do in ten min
utes or day, even though DO pray for him
nights TO overcome the influence Of the men
vao are round him all the time? And then.
even If he cid promise 60 vote the way I wanted
him to. couldn't follow him to the polls and
see that he dtd #"
The president, Mrs, Helena Secor TONES,
spoke In a similar strain. and intinnated that
husbands difficult TO deal with as post
men-
remarked, but We'll continue with the good
work. Bring your uenfolk to the mass meeting
st Camp Hughes, 10th street and Eighth ave-
nue, tomorrow night. and we'n hope that some
seed will fail good ground"
Mrs. Tonnes is to preside at this meeting. and
Mrs Beckwtth will speak, but there Will be male
speskers. too, so that the feminine influence will
be supplemented by masculine. In this way the
Republican women think that something may be
accomplished.
Miss Helen verick Boswell. one of the found
ers Of the club still retains her faith In wornans
influence
e eljp
she said, land I don't want to follow TO
the polls 10 see how he votes. When man tells
he is going to vote as want him to be-
ueve him.
And think" she added, that 1t is time for
al good Republicans, both men and women, to
get out and hustle. I expect to see Mr. Hughes
seated IN the Governors chair, and with him
the woman that some Of us know and all Of us
greatly honor: but we ought not 10 be too sure

Few persons realize the
value of lemons in sickness and
also as a preventative of sick
ness. They should be kept in
the house always, especially
where there are children. In
case OF a child taking cold, a
lemon eaten immediately with
salt will often put an end to
the cold and two or three may
be eaten, il liked. They will
cure billlousness and some cases
of fever If taken in time.
Children, as a rule, are fond
OF them, so there is no need of
coaxlng, to get them to eat
them. Fot those who do not
like the lemon, a few drops or
the Juice OF half a lemon in hot
water taken first thing after
rising in the morning will be
found excellent.

IHE FRIGHT OF RICHMOND y.
IiOBS0N

Somebody needs 10 administer
bromidos and soothc the an
guishcd nerves Of Richmond y.
Hobson, sometime hero Of the
Mcrrimac. A few days ago u
conflict took place between Unit
ed States officers and n band of
Japanese poachors on the seal
preserves on AIcutlau islands,
which proved fatal TO the Jap,
anCsc.
Richmond at once was filed
with gloomy forcbodlugs. He
began to speculate in public on
what wonId happen TO US, if the
Japanese government took Of
fense at the summary punish
mont of the maraudcrs. He
would have the government at
once begin constructing battle
ships of the 10000 ton and %,
600 ton type, at the rate of three
a year. He endeavors to frightcn
us by saying that Admiral Togo
and che japanese navy would
lick Us to standatiii, We are
away shy on naval bases, Rich
mond says, we ought to have
them scattered around as thick
as mosquitoes in Cameron
Something ought really be
done for Richmond The rest of
US are more scared of the armor
trust and the ship builders com
bine than we are Of the Japanese.
Most of US figure that the reten.
tlon of the Philippines is not
worth the price OF years crop
of battleships, such as Richmond
says should be constructed
where Richmond can abide, until
the session of congress in 1907.
After he has met up with Uncle
Joe Cannon and some of the
statesman who are trying to
keep the national expenditures
below billion dollars a year.
Richmond will be more afraid of
the task of getting a big naval
appropriation bill through than
he is of the united navies of the
world. Meantime it is distinct
ly unbecoming of the here of the
Merrimac TO exhibit such fear.
We have been rather expecting
him to give US an example Of
courage. L. G. American.
