DORSEY GETS
NO CHRISTMAS

After having enjoyed two days Of
liberty, James Dorsey, arrested Friday,
on the charge of having been drunk
and incapable, was taken into custody
again this morning, and now occupies
a cell in the county Jail, from which
he is not apt to be released until
Christmas and New Years are memo
ries Of the past.
Dorsey, who is favored with more
intelligence than many Walla Wallans,
and who is possessed of an excellent
college education, frequently falls from
his throne on the water wagon, at
which times the police are given con-
siderable trouble. He was placed I'M
der $50 bonds in justice court Sat
urday for his good behavior for two
months, the sentence having been sus-
pended he is in the county bastile, and
likely to remain until the gentle
breezes of fragrant springtime fan
the valley.

Christmas Buying
In London Town

LONDON. Dec. 15.-Not in recen,
years have the shopping districts of
the West End been so thronged with
eager purchasers of holiday goods as
is the case at present. The Christmas
spirit is in the very air and is re-
Elected from the windows of every
shop, where are displayed all the al
lurements which the ingenuity of ST.
Nicholas could conceive.
One of the things to be- noted is
that the British toy-maker is appar-
emily doomed to extinction. The Eng
fish manufacturers lack the magma
ton to provide ingenious novelties that
appeal to the eyes Of youth and the
German, French and American toy
makers have taken the business from
under their very noses. Where one toy
of English manufacture is seen in the
shops, there are a dozen made in other
lands.
Queen Alexandra has shown her
good taste by passing up the crude
and commonplace products of British
toy manufacturers and buying large
quantities of American made toys
Among those included in the queens
purchase, is a miniature wagon called
a Yankee Bully" every part of which
comes to pieces, thus supplying much
amusement to the child who likes to
know "how it is made"
AS usual, the royal family will hold
an old-time celebration on Christmas
day. Nowhere will the festive season
be more thoroughly a family junction
than at Sandringham, where the
queen has never missed having
Christmas tree.
In society circles the fivei-foot fir on
the dinner table will be replaced by
neat dwarf shrub, and from it's frosted
branches will hang the most modern of
packages, containing perhaps diamonds
in one form or another, gold thimbles.
a jeweled heart, Or turquoise pins or
earrings. In many country houses the
outspreading fir will still reign.
Queen Alexandra gives many photo
graphic frames of the most dainty and
delightful description, of exquisitely
chiseled gilt, with hand painted
mounts. Some that she has chosen this
year have medallions of herself and
the king upon them. One specially
beautiful frame has empire wreaths of

MICHIGAN LETTER.

Springport, Mich, April Is, 1908
In your article entitled "'Our Creed,' in
your last magazine, | find your views upon
woman suffrage, upon which you will permit
me word, I IN sure.
While a woman has the same right to be
as coarse as any man, the acme of all aborni-
nations is the coarse and loud woman.
That the suffrage would produce this char
acter of woman you take for granted and
huild YOUR argument thereon.
[ grant you that ''to' have trained per-
feet hero, like Sir Philip Sydney, was loftier
success than to have been sexless, shrewish
woman like Elizabeth, - but could the suffrage
have brutalized a mother so we'll fitted to rear
her son9 The susceptibility of woman to
the transformation into a shrew by the mere
act Of voting, would hardly be in keeping with
the ability to rear heroes.
Should woman be deprived of the ballot
because she cannot fight? Might not this fact
alone prove her inherent fitness for the bal
lot?
The areument in favor Of man S monopoly
Of the ballot, it seems to me, has not been suf-
fciently clnched.
What one or more things concerning voting
is SO disastrous to Womanhood? Is it the cast
ing bit of paper in box and the time it
swallows up to do it? Can it be the study
ing Of government questions? Is the ability
to comprehend government issues based upon
m"scle? Would wife's temperance ballot
lower her womanhood more than constant as
ISOLATION with a drunken voter? Are you
sure this difference you speak Of between man
and woman does not especially fit woman for
the ballot rather than unfit her and if one
side Of the house is unfit that it is not man s
side?
We are used to special privileges issuing
from the throne Of man but it is hard to be-
Heve and has thus far been harder to prove

SILVER DEMONETIZED.

California, and citizen of the United States,
respectfully represent that Congress, on the
End day Of April, 1892, enacted coinage law
authorizing and directing the coinage Of
silver dollar, which law was executed during
81 years, rendering great benefit to our people
by increasing the money circulation, also
building up commerce with silver producing
nations. Further, that Congress, on the 18th
of February, 1878, dropped said silver dollar
from the coinage law~-which action has
caused enormous losses and done an immense
amount Of injury to our people, also to those
of nations who produce largely Of silver, by
forcing a very heavy depreciation in the value
of silver bullion, and greatly injuring the
commerce between our country and those
nations, also by greatly demoralizlng their
financial systems and forcing reduction In the
value Of their silver coin to one-haf Of their
previous value. For instance, the silver dollars
of Mexico, Bolivia, Peru and Chill to q value
of 80 cents each.
The suspension of the coinage Of the silver
dollar, under the law enacted in 1873, was
denounced afterwards in the Senate and
House Of Representatives, by members, as
fraud" also "doctored BILL" and denied
having any intention to demonetize the silver
dollar
Here is what Senators Allison, Bogy, Nor
gan, Beck and Bright, who were in the Senate
at the time of the passage Of the law, had to
say in the Senate on the subject, after it was
found out the bill suspended the coinage Of
the standard silver dollar and demonetized
silver:
"Why the act of 1878, which forbids the
coinage of the silver dollar, was passed no one
at this day can give good reason. * Sem
ator Bogy Of Missouri in Congressional
Record volume 4, part 5, Forty-fourth Con-
gress, first session, page 4178.)
''Did the people demonetize silver? Nevert
1t cannot even be fairly said that Congress
did it. 1t was done in a corner, darby It
was done at the instigation Of the bondholders
and other money kings, who now, with up
turned eyes, deplore the wickedness we ex-
hlbit in asking the question even, Who did
the great wrong against the toiling millions
of our people ?''-(Senator Morgan in Con-
gressional Record, December II, 1877, page
144)
''But when the secret history Of this bill
of 1873 comes to be told, it will disclose the
fact that the House of Representatives in
tended to coin both gold and silver and in
tended to place both metals upon the French
relation instead Of orr own which was the
n'pe scientific position with references DO bhis

MORE MONEY LEAGUE OF AMERICA.

The More Money League of America has
been organized as the outcome of the proposed
scheme put forth by Isidor Gelders in our last
issue.
The League proposes to have made into
law bill to relieve the present financial
stringency and forestall another panic
The success of this measure will employ
every able bodied man at his trade, make the
needed additions to our circulating medium
and start the most prosperous times this
country has ever known.
Read the bill carefully---it is surrounded
with every safeguard that the best business
ability can suggest.
Section 6. will create redemption found
in coin when the bonds are matured, and the
Government can redeem every dollar Of the
currency created under this act in its own
coin thus paid in.
Write three letters-One to your Congress-
man-and three to some friends asking them
to do the same Simply state: We demand
that you support the Currency Bill proposed
by the "More Money League of America"
There is no stronger influence than the
public sentiment behind measure, especially
at this time when all Congressman are asking
for reelection at the fall elections

The bill reads as follows:
Section 1. "The Secretary Of the Treasury

ways, within the state, shall be authorized to

Of the taxable value of the property within

Treasury shall exchange for currency as here
