Prominent Woman suffraoists,

Mrs. Millicent Garrett Fawcezt is
the only woman who has ever been
asked to address the University De-
batting society at Oxford. At the re-
quest of the students she took woman
suffrage as her subject. At the end
of her speech a resolution in favor Of
woman suffrage was put and lost by
a majority of 16. There is rumor
that Mrs. Julia Ward Howe will in
the near future receive similar invi-
tation from Harvard. Those who pre-
tend to- be informed assert that Har-
wards majority against woman suf-
frage would be many times greater
than Oxford's.

TWELVE GREAT PARKS HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED SINCE 1872.

The nation that leads the world In

We must perforce think Of conserving

materialist turn aside from this demand

natural scenery in the development OF
the citizens.
John Muir has justly termed the
mountain parks fountains OF life. Here
can be had the recreation that makes for
increased and maintained efficiency. The
appreciation of the beautiful In nature
should become more and more an Amer

The national policy Of preserving the
best of America for the present and
future enjoyment is we'll fixed. Since
1872 ~ national parks have been estab-
lished, including the public domain with
in as many states, with an aggregate
area of 3,500,OO0 acres. In addition to
these reservations there have been Great
ed since June, 1905, 10 national monu-
ments in nine states, with total area OF
over 100000 acres. The Grand canyon
and the petrified forest in Arizona and
the natural bridges In Utah are the most
notable of the national monuments.
OF the national parks the Yellowstone,
the Yosemite, and the Mount Rainier
are the best known. The secretary of
the interior is the federal officer charged
with the administration of these national
reservations and Congress makes annual
appropriations for their maintenance,
those for the current year amounting to
$4,000 The present policy is to make
the utilization of these resources for
recreation available to the greatest num-
Der of people by building roads and
trails, issuing maps and safeguarding
the health and comfort of visitors

supervision of the transportation and

wait for sight Of any defender who
might recklessly expose himself to the
endless fusillade. Within the fort were
about 40 American men and perhaps
forty women and children. One Of
the most sensational dramas in Amer
lean history was being enacted.
Here are the events that led to it.
Texas was part Of the republic Of
Mexico, but as time went on thou
sands of American farmers, cattlemen,
pioneers, hunters. ETC., were lured by
the richness and promise Of the land
to cross the frontier and settle within
its borders.
The latter, for the most part, refused
to become Mexican citizens or in any
way to help the country of their adop-
ton. Soon they went even further.
Not liking the idea Of becoming part
and parcel Of so weak and degenerate
land as Mexico, these Americans de-
cided to rebel and make Texas an in
dependent nation under their own
rule.
A convention Of American settlers
was called on April 1, 1888. and con-
stitution adopted. Samuel Houston,
foremost mau of all the delegates,
urged that they were not yet strong
enough to frame a declaration Of in
dependence and for the time prevented
such a step. He set to work forming
an army out OF the widely scattered
population and preparing for the strug-
gle that was bound to come. Mexico,
finding that all peaceful means failed,
resolved to crush the rebellion by force
of arms. General Santa Anna, with a
Mexican army 5000 strong, marched
into Texas carly in 1886. News Of his
coming stirred the settlers to activity
and quick defense. At New Washing
ton March ., 1896, declaration of in
dependence was adopted. and Houston
was chosen commander In chief.
Meantime Santa Anna and 1900
troops advanced on San Antonio. The
old Alamo mission there had been
turned into fort and was defended
by Colonel William Travis and about
40 frontiersmen. The wives and chill
dren of neighboring settlers had also
flOcked thither for protection.
On Feb. %, 1886. Santa Anna sur
rounded the fort and began his can
nonade. trying 20 break down the
walls or to hammer a breach in one
of them wide enough for an attacking
force to charge through. For ten days
the bombardment continued. The gar
rlson was so small that nearly every
man was kept on duty day and night.
News Of their plight reached the.more
distant settlements A handful Of
brave backwoodsmen led by Colonel
Bowie Qor whom the bowie knife was
named) and by the famous Davy
Crockett. cut their way through the
Mexican army, and thirty-two Of them
succeeded in reaching the fort

pitiably small reinforcement.
