A LAST WORD TO VOTERS.

1t is time for last word on registration, for
tomorrow night at o'clock the board of canvass
and registration will be by law compelled to
close the books That the members of the board
will sincerely regret that citizens will have no fur
ther opportunity to qualify to vote in November
next who can doubt? Citizens have gone to the
city hall to register and found the members of the
board out-presumably looking for voters to drive
them in to attend to this important duty
The figures up to today are in general way
satisfactory, but one that account should
shirk their own duty 1t is not good idea to
leave the government Of the state to someone else.
If one does that one has more reason to COM
plain than the would have who closed his eyes
when he was buying article of food and cloth
ing. He does not, in either case, use fully his fac
uties and there be no fault finding
OF course, the man who neglects to qualify to
only hurts himself but he Injuries others to
whom he is under obligations. 1t is as much the
duty of to do right by the state and to secure
the making of the best laws it is to be concerned
with the affairs of his own household
Particularly urgent is the demand that he per-
form this duty in Rhode Island Thus, If he is
citizen of Providence he should know how little his
interests and those Of this city are regarded by the
NePuonSdn nndChinc lneIc Snouid De CIVIC PRIDE
enough in every man who can qualify himself by
registering to so do.
This evening there will be opportunities to
register and the Office of the board of canvassers
and registration will be open until D. m and
some thousands of voters can be accommodated.
Those who believe the arrangements for the regis
tering OF citizens insufficient can never get bet
ter conditions unless they not only register them
selves but induce their friends to so do An hour
or two this evening tomorrow could not be bet
ter spent than in inducing friends to 60 to the city
hall.
All that the leaders Of the reform forces could
have done to get the voters to register has been
done this year, and final individual effort on each
Democrats part ought to make possible mag
nihcent victory for decent government next No
vember.

NORWEGIAN WOMEN OBTAIN SUFFRAGE

The example of Finland has been followed by
Norway which has Just granted suffrage to its
women on the same conditions which prevail with
regard to municipal suffrage; namely, that women
themselves their husbands, in order to be en-
titled to vote, must have paid taxes for year.
The new law gives the suffrage to all women rs
years DID, taxed on an income enjoyed by them
selves their husbands of $II3 in cities and $84 in
the country. 1t creates total Of 100000 women
voters.
The first woman suffrage society in the coun-
try was organized in Christana in 1885, the Ma
tiona Woman Suffrage association OF Norway not
until 1903. Taxpaying were given the
municipal suffrage in 1901; and now comes this
further extension of the franchise, and there have
been many victories of minor Importance

Another Day Is Another Chance

There is a world Of hope In the newborn

When the past is dead, and the amber

Reaches out TO the earnest glance
Another day Is another chance.
Let us blot the page where the wrong has
been,
Forgetting the sorrow. and care, and sin
II auickens the blood like Kerry dance
Another day is another chance.
A fig for trials, n truce to care:
Tomorrow's before us TO do and dare; :.
Hope filings her banner our JOY to en-

peace and the limiting of the rigors of armed
fict
Take the important questions of attacking un-
protected towns the bombardment of harbors, the
laying of mines, the treatment of neutrals and their
property in the territory of belligerents and the
regulation of the opening of hostties.
This last proposition comes from the Russian
delegates at the conference, and while, of course.
everyone recognizes its proposal was due to the
unexpected attacks of Japan upon Russia in the
last war, there is, however, much truth in the sug
gestion of Gen. Yermoloff that the present rule
which permits nations to open hostilities without
warning is bound to mean an increase of ornaments
and war preparations. 1t will be seen, however,
that the able men at this conference are much in
earnest and no one who has any love for humanity
will fail to wish them unbounded success

DOING IMPORTANT WORK.

There has been much comment of an unworthy
nature upon the second conference at The Hague
in the interest of peace Now the members of the
conference are doing just what the scofers do not
want them to do-they are dealing with practical
questions. Every one who has time to think Of
important affairs at all must believe that one of the
most important topics that could be considered
anywhere is that of the arbitration OF international
disputes. Now the United States delegates are
pushing this subject of arbitration vigorously and
they are assisted by the delegates from other
countries on this hemisphere.
Some excellent plans are under consideration
to render The Hague arbitration tribunal really
permanent, giving it such power, prestige and in
fuence and above all. unshakable impartiality, as
10 command universal confidence. 1t is not alone
the delegates from this part of the world who
would like to see increased prestige given to the
sSbitration idea.
Great Britain and Germany will propose
amendments TO present rules that will undoubtedly
aid this important work. But the other PROPOSE
tions before the conference are also important and
their consideration must lead to the adoption Of
rules that will tend toward the continuance Of

Try some shrimps with cold asparagus

FAST COLT BORN
AT TRACK

There's a frisky month old colt
out at the Interstate fair stables
that may make Spokane famous In
the racing world some Of these
days. His name is Goldlocks and
he is the son Of Sherlock Holmes
and Alphena. Sherlock Holmes Is
the California PAGER Dyer paid
81 900 for. Alphena has a good
mark herself and the colt Is ma.
tural PAGER. That has cropped out
already.
The mare and colt are the prop
erty Of j. II. MCGOWAN, who has al.
ready entered the latter in $3.50, 000
stakes, although he may not race
mntil 3 years old. From present
prospects he will get his stride soon
enough to shake up the 2-year-old
class.
A. w. Bickin, the trainer In
charge of the mare and colt, has a
horseman's bunch that the colt Is a
world beater. The owner has been
offered $1,000 several times for
young Goldlocks.

WISE BOYS BET
ON SQU|RES

Tommy Burns has arrived. He
Isn't conner" any more-he's
here in the face of all the knocking
the dope scribblers could give him.
AT Colma, CAL, yesterday afternoon
he whipped "Bill" Squires, the
much-heralded Australian cham
pion, in 2 minutes Of fighting. Be-
EoKsAe left the ring Referee Jim
Jefffle5 handed him the $1,000.
It took him just 10 seconds to
floor the big Antipodean for the
count of 4.
A telegram received in this city
from Spider" Kelly sent many of
the Burns adherents away from the
betting. The Squires men took all
the Burns money in sight here at
10 to 8, and in some instances they
bet 10 against 7. These probably
lost $4,000. A heavy loser Is Dan
McEnroe.. Ed Shelton arrived from
the east in time to pick up some Of
the Squires money. Shelton got
some at 10 to 7 and he said he took
1T simply because it was good odds,
even If Burns was selling platter.
McEnroe, however, couldn't be tout
ed off Squires.
A later telegram gave joy to the
hearts OF the Burns hackers. Steve
Douglas received 1t from Jimmy
Coffroths secretary, who said:
"Squires a tough one, but I have
bet on Burns" This was taken to
indicate that the real wise, close-in
ones had some of the 10 to money
offered around California for few
days. Those who were in possession
Of the information contained in this
telegram made rush to get down
on Burns. BY that time the men
were ready to enter the ring.
AS usual Spider" Kelly picked
q loser He has seconded many
winners, but his dope" Is usually
much to the bad.
1t has been said that Burns hasn't
the punch. Even some of those
who don't like him personally still
maintain that he hasn't 1t because
the fight didn't 80 long enough to
OgAow him up. However, he knock
I'd the big rough diamond" out,
which Is much like knocking out q
Gull, as Squires' neck Is said to
compare to that of bull and his
Jaw to an undershot bulldog.
Local fight fans are pleased at
the outcome. Burns Is troubled
with the swelled head and one will
have to go some now to get recog-
nition. However, he's entitled to
the heavyweight championship,
with JEFF out of the way, for he's
earned 1t by hard, uphill fighting.
In connection with the fight, a
good story is out ON Jack Kearns,
who placed ABOUT 5000 on Burns
at first, and after seeing Spider
Kelly's dope hedged all his bets
and is loser by small sum. Harry
Green is another winner. He never
bet more than $40 at once on any
thing before. but he did go strong
er on Burns.

Possibly now the dope scribbers
all over the country who have
knocked Tommy Burns every time
the stocky Canadians name was
mentioned will realize that he is
in the championship class.
Yesterday. with all the wise ones
predicting and hoping for his de-
feat. he walked up to Squires and
knocked him down and out with
about as much trouble as he would
experience in rapping a punching
bag. The despised Tommy took q
few seconds over minute and 3
blows to win $4,000. Squires never
had the ghost of show to demon
strate what he could do.
He said after the fight that he
had been told Burns was not
strong. enough tot knock man out.
This Is exactly what the fight
prophets nave been repeating ever
since Burns showed up, and the
general grudge is stln unsatisfied.
Earliest reports from the fight
brand Squires as a dub" this from
the very wise ones who neralded
him as the man who would certain
ly, have fun with Burns. And they
also add that Burns did not demon
strate whether he could fight or not.
They wouldn't give 1t to him if he
knocked out Jenries. And here's a
tip that he'll come nearer doing
that than anyone has II they come
together.
Squires Is doubtless just the sort
of a man he represented himself to
be--a strong. willing fighter who
has earned his Australian record.
But he met a man who. in the face
of steady knocking and i'll will, has
worked right up to the top notch.
Everything he has in the pugilistic
line he has hammered out for him.
self. Nobody gave him a pleasant
smile. scarcely. When he showed
up O'Brien in the only way that
faker could have been showed up
he got the bulk of the blame. Now
when he makes a monkey OF the
man the sporting fraternity backed
to beat him he'll still get the worst
Of the dope, even though he got
the money.
Sporting writer's have decided
that Burns shan't be q champion.
When they have nothing else to
think about they put in the time
hammering him. They have done
1t so long they cant comprehend
ANYTHING else. Burns has kept still
and hard at work. The result de-
.veloped yesterday
Burns has always had the
strength, sand and all the other
earmarks OF a champion. His speed
and footwork was good at the
start and he has perfected 1t by
hard work. Yesterday he demon
strated that heb had the punch in
such way that the dope producers
ought to be convinced and would
be If 1t was anyone but Burns.
