MOMENTS COMMENTS ON
PRESIDENTS VIEWS.

Denver Dec. 5.-Women prominent in
political affairs OF Colorado, where
equal suffrage is given them. do not
agree with President Roosevelt that lo.
special Improvement in the position Of
women In those states of tile west
which have adopted woman suffrage.
Is noticeable" The presidents opinion
was expressed in letter to DR.. Lyman
Abbott. which was read last night at
meeting OF the National league for
the Civic Education of Women, held In
New York.
Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker, former pres,
ident "nr the National Federation of
Women s clubs. who resides In this city
and is an active participant in every
political campaign within the state,
says Of the PRESIDENTS statements:
ut Is evident that he has not made
a careful study of the matter. He
knows nothing Of the humane meas
ures which, have. been passed by our
Legislature through the influence of
women. am convinced that the men
OF the state would join the women in
declaring that woman suffrage has been
success in Colorado and even would
fight to prevent 1t being taken from
them.''
Mrs j. NJ. .conine, former member.
of the state legislature, says:
Juvenile Judge Ben B. Lindsey
known throughout the country as u re,
suit of laws which have been enacted
through his influence, will bear Wit
ness to the fact that those laws owe
their passage more to the women of
Colorado than to any other, influence"
1t was due to the almost unanimous
support Of the women voters of Zen
Yer that Judge Lindsey was reelected,
to preside over the juvenile court here,
receiving at the recent election, when
he ran as an independent candidate,
more votes than all his opponents
combined.
Other women leaders express them
selves similar to Mrs. Decker and Mrs.
.Conine.

Over Attempt Of Railroads to De-
prive Them to Specify Routing
Of Freight Shipments.
AN ATTEMPT AT DIcTATIoN.
New Rule Effective Jan. / ], Says Rates
Are Subject to Absolute Right OF
Carrier to Determine Route

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Thc Tribune today
prints the following news article on the
new railroad tariff rule:
Shippers OF Chicago and other cities
arc considerab bly, exercise over what
they regard as another attempt on the
part. Of the railroads to deprive them Of
the right to specify the routing OF
freight shipments beyond the line OF the
initial career toswhicil the freight is
delivered.
THIS question has been the subject
of q long standing controversy be-
tween the shippers and the roads. Its
removal at the present time is caused
by rule in the new westbound trans
continental tariff, effective In January.
This provides.
The rates therein are subject To the
absolute and unqualified right OF the
initial carrier to determine the routing
of freight beyond its own lines
If enforced strictly this rule is re-
sarded as apparently In conflict with
the administrative ruling of the inter-
~ SoIIIilllSSlOl ana may
lead to re-opening of the question
which was partially settled by the SUI
prene court several years ago in the
California fruit case.
THE decision at that time was
against the shippers, but as interpreted
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion, the latter has the right to specify
the terminal routing and the intermedi-
ate routing as far as choice between
all rail and rail and water rates ia
concerned. The commissions order
further specifies that the carrier shall
not route the freight by a more ex-
pensive OF two or more possible routes.
Railroad officials said yesterday that
under the commissions ruling the rule
could not be enforced literally, but the
fact remains that it is stated in bulk
and while in the tariff. and the shippers
are wondering how far the roads will
go when the tariff takes effect.

Pinapples for Diphtheria.

Pineapple juice is sovereign REM
edy for diphtheria. When the fact was
first discovered is uncertain, but it has
been known for a number of years by
Hawaiians, and recently a number OF
mainland physicians have tested it
who vouch for it's efficacy. The juice
is expressed from the fresh fruit, and
sweetened, or 1t may be used from the
canned fruit with very satisfactory re-
suits and is then administered by
spoonfuls to the sufferer for some
time. The acids of the fruit seem to
digest the membrane which causes the
closing of the throat, and the relief is
apparent almost at once. Cures are
reported of cases of diphtheria in
which all other remedies had failed.

which was the only thing that saved
the market.
In our opinion, the conditions this
week are as bad as they will be at
any time this year. For the reason
that the supplies of Southern lambs
have been very heavy at Southern
markets. AS the supplies increased
at this market the packers staid away
from the Southern markets. The con-
sequence was that they had to for
ward the Southern lambs to Eastern
markets, which caused the big sup
plies to be on sale at the Eastern mar
kets. AS the flood of these lambs gets
worked off we believe the situation
will be halted and the market will be
better than last week. While we do
not look for better prices we look for
a better demand. There is no reason
