TO LET THE WOMEN

BILL TO LET WOMEN VOTE TO BE
CONSIDERED BY TEMPER.
ANcE COMMITTEE.
A HARD BLOW AT SALOONS
Startling Statement that Temperance
People Had Gained Control Of
committee--5ilI May Be Re-
ported With Few Changes.

Columbus, o., April 1.--Much sur
prise was caused Tuesday when Seua.
tor Drake of the temperance commit
tee called that committee for Wednes-
day night to consider the Kinsman bill
which permits women to vote in all
temperance elections.
More startling was the statement
that the temperance people had re-
gained control of the temperance com.
mittee and that the Kinsman bill
would be reported out without amend.
ment.
II is admitted by liquor people that
this bill would more seriously affect
their business than any other that
has been presented and the temper
ance people agree upon this point
The Kinsmau bill provides that all
women entitled to vote at elections
for school directors or members Of
board of education may vote at cleo
tions for prohibiting the sale OF al
coholic liquors as a beverage. The
regular registration laws shall apply
and the registration be separate.
A feature OF the bill Is that wom-
en- may not sign petitions for local
option nor shall women be counted
in determining the number Of electors
upon which the percentage for petit
tions must be based The theory of
the bill is that nearly every woman
is opposed to saloons and that with
the right to vote they would make
every county in Ohio dry
Senator Drake and Senator Lamb
are comforting about the advisability
Of introducing bill to increase the

dizzy spells. Housework was out of

so disturbed that in the morning |

annoying and embarrassing Finding

WHAT THE sIMpLoN MEANS.
The New Tunnel Has Effaced Ro-
mantle and Historical Path.

The piercing of the Simplon has
unhappily, brought with 1t the final
effacement of one of the most ro-
mantle and grandly historical paths
in human expedition--the closing
curtain in the most picturesque
drama Europe has afforded. The
Napoleonic spectacle was full of
surprises; It's argument narrates
the complications of society and
war; its complexities detail the en-
thralment of personal magnetism
and force.
The superbly built road over the
Alps has remained one of the most
fascinating diversions for the
thoughtful tourist, and has been
fraught with memorable experi-
ences. From the moment Of en-
barkation in the yellow diligence,
when the whip was cracked over the
heads of the post horses at Brieg,
until the arrival in the gorge OF the
Condo at Iselle, 1t was a coptinu-
ously unfolding tableau of grandeur
and charm. The overture had be-
gun back in the Rhone Valley with
the castles of Sion and Sierre, the
towers of Loueche and Martigny, at
the foot of the Great st. Bernard.
But when the ascension of the Sim
plon began 1t became long series
of windings through fortified defiles
leading around terrifying abysses
and through the widest of noun
tain recesses. One was awed by the
splendor and stirred with conflict
ing emotions. II was indeed a ref
uge-the hospice of the Augustine
monks. Who that has experienced
it will ever forget the welcoming
hospitality of the four secluded
brethren in the desolate spot?--

Slavic Women Workera.

The number of Slavic women worK-

a measure that hitherto has been held

based upon the theory that improvi-

state should compel the workmen to
put aside part of their earnings to
provide for their old age. BY the
terms OF the bill workmen contribute
2 per cent OF their wages and the EN-.
ployers a like percentage during
period OF 30 years, thus creating
fund from which the workman thereaf-
ter Is to receive an annual minimum
