NEW YORK FINAL
BATTLE GROUND
REGULAR
Council Says the Proceedings
in Suspension Gases
Must Be.

AT the conclusion Of the business
OF the special session Friday night Of
the city council, the mayor announc-
ed that he had suspended" Police
men Farmer and Howard, and asked
the council to fix date for trial.
As there had been no regularity In
the mater. and, as 1t was the first
time the council had been officially
informed of the action taken by the
mayor, inquiry was made as to
whether the charges had been pre-
ferred. The mayor stated they had
been and redutedto writing-mean-
ing the affidavit of Minnie MacDon-
aid. notorious Character copy Of
which had merely been handed to the
suspended" officers, when he told
Policeman Farmer Wednesday night
to take of his badge, surrender his
mace and other paraphernalia, and,
copy Of which affidavit was handed
Policeman Howard nearly month
after he had been Suspended" This
appears to have been the only "re-
ducing to writing" of the charges.
The mayor then read the city law.
which says "the council may in its
discretion suspend such officer" but
as the mayor had taken that duty Of
council upon himself, the council
made no order OF suspension. It
merely fixed day for trial.
Councilman Anderson moved that
the trial be set for the next regular
meeting of the council, but Council-
man johnson moved to amend by
making the time Wednesday, October
2S. His attention was called to the
fact that that was sooner than the
law allowed and he changed it to Fri
day night. tbs was voted down as
some OF the members stated that
they had other engagements. Then
he moved to make ID Thursday uight,
but this was objected to because 9TH
er members had engagements that
night. Councilman Johnson's motion
carried with it that the proceedings
be regular as the law requires and
this was adopted in the final motion
that the trial be set for the next reg
ular meeting night Of the council.
Friday, November 6.
AS yet the officers have not been
legally suspended and will be entitled
to pay for the time they are on the
force. This will hold good, should
they be found guilty, though there is
every reason to believe that they are
innocent.

To the Republican Ticket,
Notwithstanding Democrat
ic Fake Reports.

The Telegram notes with pleasure
the fact that B. Brown Stout and his

Mr.. Stout has been loyal and
hard worker for the Republican par
ty and its nominees ever since the
Republican party was organized more
than half century ago, whether he
was on the ticket or noe as one OF ttE

he has been for months conducting
a political campaign, making speeches
almost daily all over the state, trav-

conducting the extensive correspond

this he has very extensive farming

1t is simply amazing, then, when a

exposing the relation of the Catholic
hierarchy and the Republican leaders.
I had long suspected that very thing.
While I have always been staunch

to decide not to vote for Taft. An
other prominent lifelong Republican
informed me he had made the same
decision.-J. H. Featherman, Wads-

THE WOMAN'S HANDICAP.
By Constance Fuller Mcintyre.

It is sometimes instanced, in sup
port Of the not altogether exploded
theory Of man s having more brains
than a woman, that, although music,
painting and poetry are fields espe-
cially her own, no woman has ever as
yet attained to the very foremost
rank either as painter, poet or COM
poser.
Why is this? Are the men brainier
than we, after all? It always seemed
to me rather idle to compare the sex
es as such, and yet remark like the
above sets one to doing it in spite Of
oneself. Can it be that women,
though doing thoroughly frst-class
work along these lines, work that
compares not unfavorably, perhaps,
with that Of their masculine contem-
poraries, are yet constitutionally de-
barred from attaining supreme excel
lence? I cannot altogether believe
it, and yet there is no controverting
the above statement.
It seems to me that the reason of
it lies just in this-the inevitable
handicap Of being a woman. What
ever a man takes as his business or
profession he can devote his best en-
ergies to, comparatively unhampered.
He is poet, painter or musician first
husband, father or son afterward.
With a woman conditions are re-
versed. Just in proportion as she
approaches perfection she is wife,
mother or daughter frst-musician
painter or poet afterward. Thus,
while his chosen. work is paramount
with a man in most cases it cannot
be more than a side issue with a wom-
an, to which she may manage to de-
vote only little more than the fag
end Of her time left over from house
keeping, mOCnerlng, sewing ana all
the thousand and one things woman
must do.
Should someone object here that
she can relegate these matters, either
wholly or in part, to another, I think
one may fairly claim that in nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of
a thousand that would be practically
out of the question.
With exceptions so few as to be
countable on the fingers Of one hand
genuises have always been poor
financial recognition arriving too late
to practically count greatly in their
development. Now it may be ques-
