Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, Of
Denver. President OF the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs,
made a new departure IN her Id
dress the other day before the
New Jersey State Federation, in
Newark. She took up the hith-
ei'to forbidden subject OF woman
suffrage, and declared that the
next step will be to put the moth.
er element into the national life.
You may say there is a dis
tinctiye place for men and a place
for women. So there is, but
there is Q far larger place where
they must stsna hand in hand.

that ridiculous, I consider it the

Mrs. Decker addressed her
next remarks to the men in the
audience, saying; Some Of you
gentlemen may feel a little doubt
full There is a geatleman who
told your state federation that
We SHOULD not leave our own sa-
cred precinct. Our precinct has
moved away. While the pre-
cinct of Mr.. Cleyeiand's mother
may have been to make her own j
and cheese and to do all /
her own spinning and weaving,
these sacred precincts have
now gone to the dairy, the pack
ing house and the factory. They
have not gone in a stagecoach, I
but in an automobile, and
instead of woman sitting at home
q her own tireside, as Mr..
Schwab has said she should do,
il behooves her to go out and see
What the sacred precincts are
doing.

What is u Bostonian!


Of. NJ. Boult, the genial Poole piano
man OF Bostou, Mass, was in the city
yesterday but no insinuations are Ia
tended.)
a Bostonian is person who wears
spectacles, talks with brogue, and
reads the Evening Transcript. Does
he know lot? Well, ask him. What
little he does not know he will make
you believe he is dead onto, and what
little he does know he will make you
tired of hearing. What are Boston,
ians noted for? They are famous FOR
their ability to relish baked beans
once a week and also for the ease
with which they come up with good
money for symphony concerts that
three-fourths of them do not really
appreciate. 1t is the proper Boston
stunt to give a bunch of dough each
year for these noisy shindigs. The
people make bluff that they are
daffy over the violin scraping of beery
beer-guzzling freaks, but in reality
a symphony concert is only an ex-
cuse for Bostonians to show off their
fancy rags Fudge!

QUEER NOTION IN WISCONSIN
Capt. BIinkhorn Came in Last Night
From a Trip Through State of
Wisconsin.

Captain Blinkhorn, one of the best
known travellers in the northwest,
came in yesterday after an absence O.
several months. The captain has just
completed a trip through eastern
points, spending some time in the state
Of Wisconsin.
He says that some of the ideas grow
ing out of the reports of the hard VIM
ter in North Dakota, held by residents
of Wisconsin and other eastern states
are laughable in the extreme. Many
people imagine that whole towns are
buried and that the people go around
through tunnels with huge props To
keep the roof of snow from falling Ill.
In one town of Wisconsin North
Dakota realty man had signed up a
large party OF homeseekers and ex-
pected to settle them on choice lands
in this state But no, they would have
none of it. Why it would be sure de-
structicn. Consequently the real es-
state dealer lost good bargain.
Captain Blinkhorn says some of the
fasteners, because as a general thing
the people relaize just how conditions
out here are. They realize that many
OF the reported freezings are myths,
gotten up by the professional string
mend and calculated to startle the
world.
Captain Blinkhorn is with the RAJ
cine Settley Thresher company.
