Premier Maura's announcement that
the situation in Barcelona showed a
little improvement and word from Me-
lila that the Moors were retreating
from Mount Guruga only slightly ap.
peased the general uneasiness. The
Moorish forces, however, have been
strengthened by the arrival Of 5000

SUFFRAGETTES MAKE
KILLING IN SENATE

SNOW in the front with the pro-
gressive members.
And he is not the only one, al
belt, perhaps the most noticeable.
The senate, which a week ago was
anti-suffrage by a good majority
on a two thirds vote, has been
changing. In fact there has been
so much doing in the line of see
ing erroneous ways that it is hard
telling where it will stop. The
suffragists have not yet won their
fight by any means, but they have
gained enough ground to give them
more than an even chance. Even
those senators who are constitu-
tionally opposed to suffrage or any
thing that resembles it now admit
their position is weakening.
Every day finds fresh addition
to the suffragette lobby until now
it is difficult from a glance in the
capitol corridor to tell whether
there is legislature in session or

frage is decidedly above par just

GRAND JURY ADVISES
PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS

An interesting side light on the
developing Importance of what is
commonly called the playground
movement" is noted in a present
ment of the grand jury in Phila-
delphia. That such body should
give the matter serious attention
and offer such recommendation
as are offered is sufficient reason
why is should be given attention
by thinking folks, official and lay.
There are several phases of the
movement and several ways In
which Fairgrounds and recreation
centers may be useful to COM
munity, but the Philadelphia grand
jury is mainly concerned with
them as essential means for the
prevention of crime among chill
dren in cities; and almost equally
so In towns.
