What the Suffrage
Would Do For Woman

~ HALL woman be invested with the ballot? The question is
49, not one of the simple right as the equal of man, but is 1t
W. wise, is IT BEST? [ do not deny the Unborn right of
woman to smoke cigarettes or to use the rough language OF
men, but most of us are inclined to believe that women who do these
things are, a some one has put it, "no gentlemen" and if the sexes
are to be equalized l would rather it were done BY REFINING
THE MEN than by the vugarizing of women.
Shall we invest woman with the ballot? Candidly, l believe that
such an enlargement of her sphere would not only violate the sacred
laws of her being, but add nothing to the high and holy mission which
HER w NATURE Enthusiastically defines.
Would a woman's vote alter things? Yes, if only good women
vote. Few good women would avail themselves of the privilege, but
ALL THE BAD WOMEN would.
If YOU give woman the ballot, she must be ready to turn police
man and serve on the jury. The responsibilities which logically follow
this advance of woman mean that henceforth she will not be represent
ed by any man, and her exercising the full functions of citizenship
would make such a change as would make her MORE A MAN
THAN A WOMAN.
A female man, an affected, driveling, little doodle, a weak sister
dressed up in mems clothing, is enough to fill you with disgust, but OF
q mannish woman, good Lord, deliver me from expressing my opinion,
lest [ should say something not in the prayer book.

lNSULTED CHINESE GOD
Trreverence to Heather Deity Brings
Punishment Upon American
in China.

81 had a friend who came very neal
losing his life in the interior of China
from his lack of knowledge of the SUI
perstitions of the natives" said T. H.
Gum, OF New York, relates the Wash.
ington Post.
This friend was a mining engineer,
and he had found a rich vein of coal in
which he proceeded to do a little dig
ging, TO the intense horror and fierce
anger of the people of the vicinity.
So outraged were they at his impious
act that he was fiercely set upon by a
frenzied mob, and but for the timely
interference would have been slain.
He had, innocently enough, insulted
one of the greatest Chinese dignitaries,
Fung Shut, which in English means
the spirit of the ground Now in
turning up the earth the home of this
spirit is violated, and hence NJ true
Chinaman will ever do any mining be-
cause it is an insult to Fung Shut.
"Any irreverence to this subter-
ranean deity is certain of punishment,
according to the Monaghan belief. The
invasion of his regions is sure to be
followed by droughts and failure of
crops, If not by pestilence and famine.
This alteration of Fung Shut is, of
course, confined almost entirely to the
peasant class, the farmers of the ru
raj districts, but it is a superstition
that has been handed down for genera
lions, and it cannot be ~dissipated in a
dawn

-T-wS understand it, the president does not desire to vest in
- interstate commerce commission arbitrary and uncontr)
power to fix rates. He has repeatedly stated that the acho
q -&A of the commission in fixing a rate should be subject to r
view by the courts and that the railroad companies shout
have LEGAL PROTECTION AGAINST ANY INJUSTICE. Tha
being the case, a law giving to the commission power to fix rat.
should not give the commission purely legislative discretion III liking
rates. 1t should give to the commission power to change an existing
rate ONLY If THE EXISTING RATE BE UNREASONA-
BILE or otherwise in violation of the interstate commerce acts, and it
should give to the commission power to CHANGE a rate that Is UNI
reasonable or otherwise unlawful only to the extent that SUCH, change
may be necessary in order to remove the unreasonapeness OR
OTHER ILLEGALITY of the rate.
In other words, it should only give to the commission power to re-
duce a rate to the maximum that would be reasonable and lawful if
originally imposed by the railway company. A statute can be drawn
to effect this result. If those who advocate vesting in the interstate
commerce commission the power to fix rates are in good faith seeking
to carry out the policy of the president, they should be willing to ac-
cepta statute giving to the commission power to fix rates substantially
in the following terms:
Whenever any rate, fare or charge fixed by any common carrier
for any service, shall be unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory or
otherwise In violation of any provision of the act approved Feb. 4,
1881 entitled Gan act to regulate commerce." or any act amenda-
tory thereof the interstate commerce commission shall have power,
after investigating the facts AND HEARING THE PARTIES
AFFECTED, to make an order modifying such rate, fare or charge
as far as may be necessary in order to remove the unreasonableness,
unjust discrimination or other illegalty thereof, and such order shall
take effect at the expiration of such time as the commission shall pre-
scribe, not less than days after publication thereof.
Any party affected by such order shall be entitled to institute a
proceeding to review such order in the circuit court of the United
States for any district through which the line of the carrie may run,
and If the court in such proceeding shall find that the rate fixed by
such carrier was not unreasonable, uniusly discriminatory or other
wise unlawful, it shall enter a decree SETTING ASIDE such order.
BUT If THE COURT SHALL FIND THAT SUCH ORDER MopI-
FLED THE RATE, FARE OR CHARGE FIXED BY THE CARRIER,
EITHER MORE OR LESS THAN WAS NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO
REMOVE THE uNREAsoNARLENEss OF SUCH RATE, THEN THE
COURT BY ITS DECREE MAY MODIFY AND CORRECT SUCH ORDER
ACCORDINGLY. @

WANTED ART BY THE TON.
Commissioners Wanted Sculptor to
Figure on Weight of Group
Base.

or late years Mr.. McMonnies has
had so many commissions to do groups
of sculpture that he has made 1t a
rule never to enter a competition with
other artists for an order. In this
connection, a Y Worlds work, a story
Is told of an American city that asked
him to enter a design for army and
navy groups for a soldiers and sail
ors' monument. He declined to com
pete. Then the commission was ten
dered to him outright. He submitted
sketches of his idea for the groups.
The committee in charge of the monu-
ment wrote him, asking: "How many
tons of granite do you intend to use
in the base?" His reply was: eff
you are in the business of buying
granite, you may use as much as you
want, one ton or 100, 900 tons. | am
an artist, and l never yet heard of art
being bought by the pound The
question was dropped until the con-
tract for the commission was drawn.
When Mr.. McMonnies received it he
discovered in it a clause providing
that in case the bronzes were ever
thrown down from their base, by any
cause whatever, and any person or
property should be injured, he ana
his heirs forever should be liable for
the damage sustained. He returned
the contract without comment, UNI
signed. When the committee wrote
him asking the reason, his brief reply
was. 'eYour lawyers are too sharp

all the Raritan river front and there

advocates condemnation proceedings

Camden has several river front
sites available for municipal wharves
but has failed 10 improve them. al
