Advocate. Woman Suffrage.

Washington. -ASenator Owen OF
Oklahoma was one of the speakers in
the woman suffrage hearing before the
House committee on the judiciary
Tuesday. His address was frequently
Interrupted with applause. He paid a
glowing tribute to womanhood and ear
nestly advocated universal suffrage.
He claimed that the saloon element
In Oklahoma had defeated the univer-
sal woman suffrage proposition and
said that II women had questioned
every candidate before election they
would have carried that point instead
of having their suffrage limited to
school questions.
Mr.. Alexander OF New York asked
Senator Owen II he would be willing
to give the ballot to the low class of
immigrant women who came to this
country.
YES" replied Senator Owen. "be-
cause the vote of the male element is
largely dominated by the saloon and
brothel influences, and the vote Of the
women would counteract the votes OF
this class of males"
The senator pointed out that in the
states where woman suffrage Is uni
versal the percentage OF woman con-
victs is very low He said in Wyoming
there is not one woman now incarcer-
ated in the penitentiary. He contend
ed that the vote of the women would
be largely against corruption and I'M
morality In the states.
Before the Senate judiciary commit
tee Rev. Anna Shaw. as the president
of the National Female Suffrage Asso-
citation, introduced the speakers, the
leader of whom was Mrs. Belva Lock-
wood, who expressed confidence in the
support OF her cause by the committee.

Asst. Adj't General,

The News would like to urge the
people of Tucumcari to plant shade
trees this spring. We can as we'll
have trees growing along the main
thoroughfares rs not, and the city
waterworks company can furnish
water at a nominal figure for irri-
CATION until the trees are started
after which they will need no fur
Their attention than trimming and
in three or four years we will have
a town whose streets will be shady
walks, providing both comfort and
beauty. And, the residence por-
ton OF the city must not be neg
lected. Tucumcari has a great
number of beautiful homes and
shrubbery only is needed to make
them palaces to the people who in
habit them. Let's see if we can't
inaugurate a tree planting spirit in
the people OF our growing city;
appearances help and trees will
make the town beautiful. When
we have plenty of trees and cool
shades our children may have a
chance to become acquainted with
q few song birds that they will
otherwise never see in this country.
The sunny southwest would be a
veritable Eden il we had plenty Of
trees, and if each realty owner will
make it a point to grow a reason
able number we can soon have
them. Trees put out here three
or tour years ago are as thrifty as
can be and now getting to be
worth their weight in gold and will
soon be mammoth shaders.
