SCORES BALLOT
FOR WOMEN
(By United Press)

EMMETTSBURG, Md, June 49,
81 am entirely opposed to woman's
suffrage, not because l hate WON
EN-, for l love them and want them
to fulfil the mission for which God
intended them" said Cardinal Glib
bons last night in an address to
the girl graduates of st. Joseph
college. 'If you play in the arena
of politics you will be covered with
its dust. II you grasp too much
you will lose everything. Nowhere
is woman so honored as In the
United States. This is largely due
to the chivalry and courtesy of the
men, and If you are protected by
the male sex, what more do you
want?
Il want to remind you that WON
an has great mission in life. You
should, therefore, have deep
sense of your responsibility in the
domestic walks of life. You can
not hope to preach in the church,
but you can preach in your homes
and reach those with whom you
come in contact in your daily lives.
Preach to your fathers and broth
ers. Woe be to society If it had
to depend upon the male sex alone
it would certainly go to !: the
devil"

HER MONEY DIDN'T
SAVE HER

May Mowry. who bias piled up a
fortune in land and money from a
life of shame, is the recipient of
the first six months county jail
sentence on charge of vagrancy
under the new law. 1t was imposed
by Judge Mann of the police court
but was suspended pending the
woman's good behavior.
May Mowry, who is still middle
aged woman, has paid fines suffi
cient in amount to build a brick
block, the income from which
would comfortably support her, ii
is said, but she still has more than
$4,000 deposited in local banks and
owns a valuable farm at Riverside
Wash.

PASCO IS REJOICING

Land owners near Pasco have

least 5000 acres. The land pro-

plain that contains some of the
finest agricultural land in the
state. Pasco is delighted over the
deal, as it gives promise of making
that place another Wenatchee. =

SPOKANE LEGISLATORS
WANT SPEEDY ACTION

Saturday and Sunday trains will
carry the Spokane delegation to
Olympia for the special session of
the state legislature Wednesday,
called by Governor Hay to act on
the report of the committee that
for the past three months has been
digging into muddled affairs at the
state capitol.
Sentiment of the Spokane legis-
lators on what is to be done in the
special session is somewhat d.
vIded. Senator Hutchinson thinks
that the scope of the session ought
to be extended, at least enough to
repeal the 100000 appropriation
to purchase the Wenatchee bridge,
and make the water company that
built the bridge to carry its pipe
line pay one-third the cost and one
third the maintenance.
Senator Rosenhaupt thinks there
may be some patching of the new
code attempted, and probably not a
few ordinary citizens would be just
as we'll satisfied If the session
would heave the whole wierd struc-
ture into the bay. 1t is recognized
as good in spots, with the good so
wondrously interviewer with what
neither gods nor men can compre-
bend that the whole thing looks
like joke.
Representative Edge, one of the
most active members of the house,
believes that the session should be
devoted strictly to the purpose it
was called for. He is in favor of
the reelection of Speaker Meigs in
order that the house may be or
ganized and get right down to
business the first day. Edge has
m old fashioned idea that the bust
ness of the legislature is to go
right to work and clean up what
ever there is to do, and then come
home. Edge is one of the only
democrats in the house.
Representative Buchanan be-
lieves in getting at the bottom Of
whatever is on hand in short order.
There is general impression
among Spokane members that the
legislature should not prolong the
present investigation unless the
committee can show up something
moye in the line of actual accom-
plishment than is now apparent. 1t
has been in session three months
and all it has done that anybody
knows anything about is what
Schively told. There seems to be a
general conclusion that Schively
will be impeached.
Senator Rosenhaupt is likely to
preside over the senate for the spe-
cial session. There is a fight on
to unhorse Ruth. Senators Hutch.
fnson and Whitney of this county
will support Rosenhaupt, and the
latter hopes to land the place.
Hutchinson is after Ruth with his
meatax for the way Ruth treated
him in the last session.

Dog Abhora publicity.

When Philip Martin of Montclair, N. j.,
asked his wife what he had better do
about a stray collie dog which took refuge
with the couple three days ago, she ad-
vised him to advertise the animal to COM
ply with the law. The dog hung his head
and whined dismally, then crept up to the
man and licked his hand, as IT, to say,
please don't" When the man started foI
the door the collie laid down against Il, 50
it wouldn't open. Mrs. Martin petted and
coaXed it, but II wouldn't bulge. and
finally Martin. who Is k~ind-hearted and
really liked the dog, though he felt he had
no right to harbor Il, slipped out another
door. In an hour he returned.
We'll, did you put the 'ad' in the paper?"
asked his wife.
Yes" said Martin. With that the dog
made a rush for the open door and disap-
peared In the direction OF Bloomfield. Mar,

Chamber of Commerce is a member Of
the house OF peers and one Of the most ex-
tensive exporters and importers in Japan.
He is at the head OF many large enter
prises, such as banks, water companies,
ETC., as we'll as organizations of a public
and beneficial nature. Many eminent
Americans, among them General Grant
and President Taft, nave been guests at
his beautiful home.
u. Horikoshi is a silk manufacturer, with
houses in Toxic. New York. London and
Paris.
Suyeo Iwaya is a noted writer, especially
Of children's stories, his writings number
ing many volumes. He is author of a his
tory Of the Japanese-Russia war, and also
writes for the daily press and for periodi-
calls.
Several newspaper men are in the party,
among them Motosada Zumoto. editor and
publisher of the Japan Times in Toxic, the
only daily paper in Japan published in
English. 1t has an extensive circulation
through the orient.
Can't Tire Them Out.
One of the characteristics of the members
of the party that has struck fasteners
with force is their ability to ~recuperate
after a hard day spent IN sightseeing.
While in New York they were on the go
from $50 In the morning until midnight
every day, yet each morning they appeared
fresh. and as energetic as ever, ready for
the arduous task before them.
Another characteristic that has caused
extended comment is the fact that even
those OF the party who are primarily finan-
cial and commercial men In Japan take a
high ethical stand in regard to finance and
commerce. The ethical side OF business ap-
parently appeals to them stronger thar
does pure gainfulness. Baron Shibusawa in
an address before New York men interested
in religious and philanthropic undertaking.
asserted that the great growth OF the Japa.
nese people, after all. Is along ethical and
educational lines. He emphasized the state,
ment hat under all commercial or ~financia
transactions there must be an ethical foun
dation and that the highest success in com
mercial life could be based only on actions
consistent with righteous living and that n,
permanent success could come unless It wa
so based. Following this he took the some
what remarkable stand that he was sur
the commercial and educational life OF an!
nation. II II is to be progressive. must b.
based upon religion.

extensive bankers are also in the party.
Industry and are a fairly rep
resented as finance. The party includes
owners and managers of electric and water
power plants, steamship lines, standard and
electric railways, ship building, manufac-
turing Of silk and cotton fabrics, export
ing and importing and stock brokerage.
On the commission are some Of the most
noted educators, authors and newspaper
writer's Of Japan. The professions of law
and medicine are also represented.
One of the most interesting members OF
the commission is it's head, Baron Eiichi
S~hibusawa. who has been called the ].
Pierpont Morgan Of Japan. But he is
more than the head Of the biggest banking
house in the empire. He is also a states
man OF wide s%ympathies and experience.
His influence in undermining Japan has
been greater. probably than hat Of any
other man. The work of his life has been
to raise the standards and the status Of the
men engaged IN business and commerce.
in Japan.
Director in Seventy Companies.
He established the first bank in Japan
under the capital stock system In 1873 and
has been connected with numerous manu-
featuring and Industrial concerns. At one
time he was director Of seventy companies.
But of late, owing TO his advanced aged
years old-he is divesting himself of some
OF these business responsibilities. In spite
OF his age he has a vigorous intellect and
his addresses are full Of keen and vigorous
thought. He does not speak English. but
his speeches are translated as he talks
He is a sharp observer OF what goes OF
around him. Like all Of his party he is
polite almost to a fault, but he is devoid
OF affectation and is very democratic. HI
speaks French fluently.
Japanese education is represented by
Baron Kanda, one Of the most promipen.
educators in the country. He is a grad
