As oil gets to the surface of the ground it becomes oxidized and the lighter portions evapo- rate, leaving a more or less solid asphalt.

Why Southern Women Want to
 - Vote.

A conference of Southern women suffragists held recently at the Peabody Hotel in Mem phis, set forth the following as one of their reasons for desiring political enfranchisement:
 "We ask for the ballot as a SO lution of the race problem. There are over 6OO,OOO more white women in the Southern states than all the negro men and women combined. If the women of the South were en- franchised it would insure per manent and enormous prepond- erance of the white race in poli- tics, and would preclude the ne- cessity for any doubtful expedi- ents to minimize the negro vote, !"

Women in Politics.

The end of last week was some
what momentous for the old world
for the fact that on Friday and
Saturday the elections for members
of the Finnish diet were held, the
first since the revision Of the con-
Etitution ana the abolition of the
ancient four-hOuse legislature that
perpetuated the privileges Of the no.
bility, the burgesses and clergy at
the expense. Of the Peasantry. That
in itself. however, did not make
those elections so notable, but
rather that the ballot was universal
truly universal in this case-giving
propOrtiOnate representation to
women as well as men. Thus, for
the first time in the history Of Eu-
rope, women have been allowed to
vote for parliamentary representa-
tives
1t is cabled from Helsingfors that
the crowds at the polling booths
were silent and orderly, and that
amongst them were large numbers
of women who came out to taste
their newborn liberty. 1t is un-
questioned that several women
members of the new diet viii be
elected, and thus further viii be
carried the extraordinary expert
ment of giving an equal suffrage to
both sexes.
1t may be accepted that our wom-
en- suffrage leaders here in America
viii make much capital of this new
@spensation of affairs in Finland.
Certainly it is worth observing and
worth the taking therefrom Of what
ever lessons are best exhibited 1t
is curious thing. nevertheless, that
of all the nations Of the world, this
little race of Firms should first
grant genuine woman suffrage.

What Will You Do :?

If you-the reader of this editorial
were to learn first hand of a case
like this, what would you do?
a family of eight young children
and their parents were huddled to-
sether TO keep warm in a cold house.
Snow lay thick outside, and the
water pipes were frozen. The faith
er, self-respecting and earnest, had
beer thrown out of work. There
was not even fuel to cook the food
which some unknown friends had
sent.
Would you give something to
make the babies and slender little
girls of that family warm?
Or this
a white woman with two small
baSies and prospects of still heavier
cares was deserted a day or so ago
in the mighty humble house that
served as their home. Not long be-
fore she had broken her ankle, and
even in her extremity she has been
able to move about only with con-
slant twinges of pain. She and her
babes must have food and their rent
must be paid. Five dollars a week
will do it.
IF you came into direct contact
with those poor sufferers, would
you help them?
OF course, you would. in every
case when the Associated Charities
has published such details the needs
Of the unfortunate have been more
than met. The thing required is
that you, personally, should be
brought into touch with the suffer.
ing. Now if you viii apply to the
Associated Charities its agents will
guide you to the second family; the
first is out of its difficulties, and has
been saved from pauperism for the
parents and worse than Pauperism
for the children.
To answer scores Of appeals like
this, the Associated Charities needs
$4,000. If that sum is not raised,
not only the poor deserted young
mother whose situation has awaken
ed so much of your sympathy, but
many, many others Will either be
submerged with impractical help or
left TO starve. OF the $4,000 only
S6s3 had been subscribed up to yes
terday. VIII not you, the one who
reads this editorial, divide among
the 4,377 families reached by this
body the help you would give one or
two familie, if you touched them di-
rectly? If you and your neighbors
do not do your part the whole work
must fail.

Annual Event at
Y. M. 6. A.

The annual banquet of the Monday
Evening Club was held last evening
in the banquet hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The members
assembled in the main corridor at 500
O'Clock, and held an informal reception
until Z, when they sat down 10 the
banquet. Fully 100 members attended.
The RJ Rev. Henry y. Satterlee.
bishop of Washington, gave an inter-
esting talk on the work being done by
the Prisoners Aid Society, Of which
he is the head. Since 1900 the society
has aided 7,2S4 prisoners, and Of that
number more than 1900 have been sent
to their homes. The society has pro-
vided meals, clothing, lodging and other
necessities for the prisoners helped
Bishop Satterlee pointed out that the
remarkable feature of the work Is tltat
it has all been accomplished at a cost
of a little over 5000. Over 80 pc. cent
of the money paid out in fines. he said,
and that loaned 10 the prisoners l I'd
been returned, thus making it possible
TO turn the amount over and over again

SONS OF FAMOUS FATHERS
IN PLAYING THE GAME

Two sons of Washington's one time
dean Of the American stage" Joseph
Jefferson. last night began a weeks s
engagement in the Belasco Theater in n
play by Cleveland Monet and Hartley
Davis, called Playing the Game" The
stars were Joseph and William W. JET
ferson and were assisted" by Aubrey
Bcucicault. Surely that combination of
names so potent to the stage history OF
only a few years back could not help
but call up in the hearts of an audience
anticipation-almost conviction-of good
things that were to come. Shakespeare
has had something to say about names.
and whether or not the Bard OF Avon
knew whereof he spoke when thar line
was put into Romeo's love making is
a question that does not here enter
But. with all honor TO the name of
jefferson and dear Bouciccult, there is
something lacking in Playing the
Game"
The play starts off as a comedy pure
and simple. resOvles itself into a farce.
and winds up with a confusing mixture
Of both elements sandwiched into a
little drama. X has the unhappy fea-
ture of exposing the entire story the
minute the first curtain is up without
the redeeming and necessary smart dia-
logue to carry II to conclusion. The play
tells the story Of a young couple on
the verge of an elopement with its con-
sequent difficulties; of a rich widow, who
draws her best friends fiance into "A
Irritation, with the object of teaching
him lesson; of a mythical husband
pictured as a fiery South American who
shoots buttons off the coat Of any man
seen talking to his wife. Those threads
are woven into story and it is in the
appearance of the fiery tempered hus-
band-whO is imperSOnated by q man
in the know for purposes of fun
that the really clever situation of the
play is disclosed.
Joseph Jefferson carries the burden
of the play in the role Of Beverly Clay,
of Mississippi, an old-time Southerner.
Mr.. Jefferson offers a character study
which has formed part of innumerable
stage stories. and which has been done
by good and bad actors. In th,. case
of this son Of a famous father, the
characterization is clean cut, absolutely
true to the line on which 1t was drawn,
ana is one of the best rounded imper-
sonatiOnS Of that type the local stage
mas seen. William w. Jefferson plays
the role of the Would-be groom. He is
a little toe explosive. and thereby spoils
more than one of the scenes in which

THE WALLS OF JERICHO"
NOT IMPROVED BY ABSENCE

James K Eackett returned TO Wash
ington. at the Columbia last night. with
Alfred Sutro's thoughtful society drama.
The Walls Of Jericho" and the most
ardent of Mr.. Hackett's admirers must
admit that neither his acting nor his
company has improved with a season 8
age and experience.
The Walls OF Jericho is a pertinent.
timely and logical protest against the
dangers which threaten the home as a
result OF the time and thought which
society devotees give to bridge and scan
dal.
The English author has drawn his
characters with great skill. and there
IS not at any time an attempt to bur
lesQue or caricature. but all the MEM
bers Of Mr Hacketts company did not
see things from this standpoint. There
was much elocution and little feeling. a
wealth Of gesticulation and dearth Of
expressiveness and force.
Mr.. Hackett. as Jack FrObisher the
wealthy Australian who has returned 70
England and won the hand Of a noble
woman. gave a portrayal Of the big
hearted, big Drained man who feels out
Of place in the small-souled smart set.
which. while not wholly convincing.
was heartily received by the audience.
The star has. like many other sterling
actors. acquired a number of manner
isms after having appeared in the same
role for practically two seasons.
Miss Beatrice Beckley. who this year
appears as Mr.. Hackett's lead. is labor
ing under great disadvantages. Wash
