STATES BEAUTIES TO
WORK FOR SUFFRAGE
May Arkwright Hutton Is
Behind Campaign That |
Can't Lose.

May Arkwright Hutton, one of
the leading woman suffragists of
the country, is deprived of vote
this year, although she had &C.
quired the voting habit. in Idaho.
She could vote there this time by
moving from Spokane back across
the line long enough to hold her
legal residence there, but her hus-
band, L. w. Hutton, would have
to 80 along and he won't bulge.
To make it worse, Mrs. Hutton
wants to vote for Bryan, while Mr..
Hutton can't see anything but Taft
Wherefore, he regards the absence
of equal suffrage in Washington as
a very satisfactory arrangement
and Spokane as the proper place
for the Hutton family.
Since she can't go to woman's
suffrage, however. Mrs. hutton in
tends to bring woman's suffrage to
her, and here Is how she is going
about it.
Immediately after election 10 Of
the most beautiful girls in the
state will materialize in Spokane.
OF course, 10 such girls could be
found right here in Spokane, but
this movement is to be thoroughly
representative and the girls will
be divided equally between the
east and west sides. Mrs. Hutton
will entertain FIVE of them and
direct the campaign she has
mapped out.
These 10 girls will canvass the
entire city, securing signatures to
a petition asking that the coming
legislature submit an equal suf-
frage amendment to the state con-
stitution for popular vote. They
will also do missionary work with
the new and old law makers.
A start has already been made
on the west side, and thousands of
signatures obtained by ordinary
methods. Mrs. Hutton figures that
her plan will make 1t unanimous.
She is vice president of the Wash
Mcton Equal Suffrage association
and president Of. the Spokane
branch.
The petition enterprise will
doubtless swamp the legislature,
and the women folks. will very like
ly be puzzling over the presidential
candidate they are going to vote
for four years from now.

PRESS FIGHT FOR CIVIC
ECONOMY APPROVED BY
LEADING BUSINESSMEN

I'm their zeal TO haul all the dirt
possible, they take out great deal
more than they should, and thug
the streets, intead oflvpnrdlnhrhnn
the streets, instead of being prop
erly crowned in the center, SO as to
allow the water to drain OF, be.
come simply catch basins and hold
the water and mud instead. 1t is q
rare thing, indeed, to see the gnt-
tiers, especially on the north side,
carrying or the water. There Ia
entirely too much politics mixed
up in our public improvements"
Mr.. Sherwood is president OF tho
local Good Roads association and
knows the subject thoroughly. He
was followed by City Engineer Raj
ston.
"Our system of making public
improvements" said Mr.. Ralston,
lis simply rotten; it is dead, anti
quated, ossified, and should have
been buried years ago. AS It is now.
public Improvement must be first
approved by the board of public
works and then approved in turn
by the council. If any single men,
Der of either of these two bodies
SO wishes, he can so tie things up
as to make it practically impossible
to get satisfactory action.
"All public improvements should
be handled by a commission and
when this can be accomplished the
dream of my life will be realized.
The commission government has
been tried in other cities and found
to work out to excellent advantage
for all concerned, and there Is no
reason why 1t should not prove just
as satisfactory here.
C. NJ. Fassett, following. Mr.. Raj
ston, stated that he was strongly in
favor of the commission form OF
government, and hoped that at no
distant time we will have 1t in this
city. These sentiments were also
endorsed by G. c. Corbaley in a
short address.
The water plant muddle and
other Spokane trouble features
we're cited in the general discus
sion. There was no sign OF attack
on the commission plan.

meeting was the fact that half a
dozen human derelicts were asleep
on park benches at the time.
Bryan retired at 5 and was up
again at 10, apparently refreshed.
He addressed Broadway business
men and then went to Brooklyn.
At Madison Square last night
Bryan was given the greatest DEM
onstration In years by an immense
crowd. He attacked Roosevelt
severely on the labor question. de-
claring the president had criticised
the courts more than Gompers
had.

DIAMOND THIEF
RObS DOCTOR

Although burglars who forced
the transom over the kitchen door
of DR.. j. G. Gunlach's residence,
S40S Oak street. had plenty of time
to ransack the place, they took
only a diamond pansy shaped pin.
DR.. and Mrs. Gundlach did not re-
turn home until late hour and
then they discovered that burglars
had been on the premises and mott
fed the police.
DR.. Gundlach this morning said
he did not know the value of the
pin the burglars stole. A pin of
its description is probably worth
more than $50.

In the chamber of commerce ses-
sion today, ]. d. Sherwood brought
out a strong endorsement of the
commission plan of city govern
ment.
President GoodalI suggested to
Mr. Sherwood that he introduce a
resolution embodying his ideas so
that the chamber as a body could
endorse them when the chamber
met again.
The present system, especially
as related to making public i'm
provements, came in for hot roast
at the chamber Of commerce lunch.
con at noon today.
J. d. Sherwood, one of the larg.
est property owners Of the city, in
troduced the subject in a rousing
talk on the street grading in this
city.

Streets" he said, lis a shame and a
disgrace to Spokane, in the winter
time. No sooner do We have one
or two rains than these streets be-
come simply rivers of mud and
water. The trouble is in the way
they are graded. The contractors,
with a desire to make every cent
possible out of every city contract
they get, excavate as much dirt as
possible, as their bids are usually
based on the number of cubic yards
of dirt to be removed.
Not only do they received pay
from the city for removing this
dirt, but after removing 1t they sell
1t at a good profit to citizens who
need 1t for filing purposes. / know
this to be fact, for not long since
1 personally bought 200 loads Of
dirt from a contractor at 25c pei
load. For removing these same
200 loads, this contractor also re
ceived good price from the city

Pointed Paragraphs.

A safe way for two people t.
be lunatics and escape going tt
an asylum is to be engaged tc
each other.
The reason a widow knows sc
much is she didn't learn any of il
from her husband until after he
was dead.
A married man could be ideally
happy if his wife would let him
wear his old clothes to business
and his best ones when he goes
fishing.
The only secret there is about
a girl being able to do anything
she wants to with a man is she
knows how to talk to him about
himself.
A useful thing about family
is how yeu can blame it for the
money you lose specializing, try
ing to make enough to support it
without earning it.

public schools in the parish.
This power is absolute.
Under the guise Of promoting
the educational welfare of the
State, there will be established a
political autOcracy which may
bid defiance to the people.
Not only has Prof. Aswell de
vised this scheme as alleged, but
he has had a bill passed provid-
ing an increase of the salary of
the State Superintendent of Pub
lie Education from $4,000 to $1,000
annually. The salary, $1,000, is
fixed by the Constitution. He
accepted the nomination with the
full knowledge of this limitation
the salary by the Constitution.
AS the increase can only be Sc
cured by an amendment to the
Constitution, upon which the
voters must pass at the election
in November next, an OverWhelm-
ing defeat of this amendment
would be a significant protest
and condemnation Of this scheme
of controlling politics through an
oligarchy of teachers, their con-
nections and their friends.
IfProf. Aswell, as State Super
intendent of Education, is not
satisfied with the salary and the
authority vested in him by law,
let him resign.
How can Prof. Aswell expect
to command and merit the conf
dence of the people whom he dis
trusts, and when he would take
from them the right of controll-
ing and of supervising their pub
lie schools. Caucasian.
