SUFFRAGLST
LEADER HERE
MRS. r, FOSTER AVERY ARRIVES
ON TOUR
"WEsT AHEAD IN MOVEMENT" )"
SHE DECLARES
Colleague Of Susan 3. Anthony and
officer Of National Association
Says California Women
Soon Will Vote

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, first vice
president of the National Suffrage asso-
ciation and one OF the most prominent
women connected with the suffrage work,
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday from
Philadelphia accompanied by her daugh-
ter, Miss Miriam Foster Avery. They
will be the guests of Mrs c. Foster of
North Evergreen avenue.
Mrs. Avery is a large, self-possessed
woman, with a convincing manner in
speaking. Her whole life has been de-
voted to the enfranchisement Of women.
She has carefully studied the situation
In this country and in Europe, where she
has lived six years. She was a coworker
with Susan B. Anthony, with whom she
was for four years, acting as interpreter
for the noted suffragist. 1t was Mrs.
Avery who started the fund which made
the closing years of Miss Anthony's life
comfortable and peaceful.
She speaks four languages and is we'll
read in all the events of the day. When
interviewed yesterday upon the status
of the suffrage question in the world in
general she said:
Although we do not want to believe it,
the United States is far behind Europe
There is hardly a country there In which
the enfranchisement has not been grant
ed to women, and in Finland there are
nineteen women in parliament.
Takes Wife's Name
'In German Switzerland the woman g
name is even coupled to that of the man
she marries and he usese the double name
in his business. A proposition of that
kind here would be greeted with an out
burst of horror.
ut is easier for them to get suffrage
there. All they have to do is to convince
a few of the educated men of the advan-
tages of suffrage and they will carry it
through parliament and then the battle is
won. Here the state Legislature has to
agree favorably upon the project and
then the people must vote upon it.
II am not discouraged in the least about
conditions in this country, however. There
has been a great advancement toward

GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATES
Pull for Fitzgerald or Pull Out.

That the government will issue hundred
million dollars in treasury certificates is the very
highest endorsement of the clearing house certif-
cate plan that has been generally adopted through
out United States.
The certificates of Indebtedness will be issued
in denominations of $50. They will be payable to
bearer: will be dated Nov. 20, 1907 and will bear
interest at the rate of per cent per annum paya
BILE with the principal sum on and after Nov. 2O
1908 on presentation of the certificates for redemp
ton at the office of the secretary of the treasury,
division of loans and currency.
In addition to the 500, 900, 100000 of certif-
Gates $50, OOO OOO 90 of Panama Canal bonds will
be put ON the market What the country will do
with so much new money is hard to tell. 1t will
certainly bring out into the sunshine of commerce
the hundreds of millions that went into hiding
several weeks ago, and will make it possible to
soon withdraw the local clearing house certificates
that have only local field as medium of ex-
change
1t is generally believed that the tons of gold
ccin that have been brought in from the European
money centers and which is being distributed thro
out the country and the new bonds and money
will set the wheels of commerce to turning as they
never turned before.
The Secretarys action in coming to the relief
of the financial situation meets with president
RooseveIt's hearty approval, and the plan is the
outcome of the several White House conferences
which have been held within the past few days
when the financial situation under consideration.
Secretary CortelyOu says that the Panama
bonds will afford most substantial selief, as the
law provides that they may be used as basis for
additional national bank circulation. He also
states that the proceeds from the sales of certii
Gates can be made directly available at points
where the need is most urgent, and especially for
the movement of the crops, which, he says, if
properly accelerated, will give the greatest relief
mad result in the most immediate financial returns

TRANSPORTATION AND ADVER-
Using

From the Atlanta Journal
The railroad commission of the state, in reply
to several inquiries which have recently been adj
dressed to that body has construed it's recent or
der in regard to the issue of railroad passes in
Georgia
1t is clearly stated in the communication
which Chairman s. G. McLendon addresses to
Messrs Donaldson & Donaldson, of cambridge,
that was not the purpose of the commission, nor
has that board the authority to prohibit news
papers, or any other party from entering into
contracts with railroads. The purpose of the order
was to prevent the railroads from issuing any trans
portation except upon dollar for dollar basis If
a newspaper, or any one else, desires to contract
with newspaper to do work for railroad to be
paid for in advertising, such party has perfect
right to do so, but the order of theicOmmssOn pre-
vents the railroad from giving transportation up
on this any other basis in excess of the value OF
the consideration given in return.
This is position which will be approved by
the general public of the state of Georgia 1t is
founded on wisdom and common sense, as applied
to business dealings Where the charge for adver
Using and the charge for transportation are at the
established rates charged the general public there
would seem to be no warrant IN law or equity Tor
the railroad commission or any other authority, to
say that these respective charges should be paid III
Since money is merely the representative OF Values
voluntarily adopted to avoid the more cumbersome
system of barter which is the essence of the trans
action, the parties at interest should be free to
barter directly if they desire to do so, and on this
basis newspaper has perfect right to exchange
it's advertising space for railroad transportation.
1t must, of course, be understood that tn
transaction is perfectly bona fide one 1t must
be- on q dollar for dollar basis. There must be
''exchange of courtesies, " under the name of an
exchange of commodities The railroads must be
charged an established price for advertising, and
the newspapers must be charged the same rate for
transportation that the general public has to pay.
If this is not the case the clement of discrimi
nation will enter into the transaction, and it was
against that that the Hepburn bill, and the rail
road commissions order, were directed

has made the situation perfectly clear, and every

3s5. STRANGER ON TRAIN AND
PAID THE PENALTY.

HUNTINGTON, Oct. 9,-Probably
the most lastardly outrage ever per-
petrated on board G. and q. train
was found in the treatment OF a Miss
Wallace. OF upper Fourth avenue,
Huntington, who was a passenger on
the c. and o. excursion train on the
return trip from Cincinnati Sunday
night.
Miss Wallace boarded the train at
Covington. In the seat behind her
sat a well dressed young man, ap.
parently thirty years Of age. When
Il short distance out OF Covington
he managed by some pretext to en-.
gage Miss Wallace In conversation
and finally, finding that she desired
drink Of water volunteered TO
bring 1t to her. Soon after drinking
the water Miss Wallace became VIC
lentIy Ill. This feeling soon gave
place to stdpor. which in turn was
succeeded by another form Of III
ness resembling commissions. When
n few miles west OF Huntington Miss
Wallace partially regained her
senses. but the accommodating stranS.
or had disappeared. At the same time
she missed her pocket book which
contained n considerable sum of mon
ey and various articles OF value. The
train was searched for the missing
stranger. but It soon became evident
that he had alighted soon after secrr-
Ing the pocket book.
When the train arrived in Hunt.
ington Miss Wallace was taken to
the Huntington hospital, where she
was treated. 1t was soon discover.
ell that her condition was due to the
presence Of drugs. which doubtless
had been put in the water given her
by the stranger on the train. The
young lady was able yesterday after
noon to he taken to her home.
The railway officials have placed
the matter in the hands of the Sc
cret service department of the ROAD.
and a persistent effort will be made
to discover and punish the guilty
man.
