DAUGHTERS VIEW
BEATS SUFFRAGE
In KANSAS HOUSE
Legislator Breaks Tie Because
She is Against Women in
Politics.
Was on Visit of One Week to
Her Parents.
AND SHE CHANGED HIS MIND

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 25.-Most
actresses have definite Ideas about
women and women's sphere. Mss
Mona ID. Ryan, a vaudeville actress.
has a few ideas herself, ideas when
she does not believe are Influenced
to any extent by her position on the
stage. However, they brought I'M
happiness to women suffragists in
Kansas. Indeed. 1t looks as II her IL
fiuence has snatched away the prlvi-
lege when II was almost won.
Miss Ryan is a daughter of judge
S. l.. Ryan, of Hiawatha. Kas., a
member of the Kansas legislature.
Last week there was a vacancy in the
bookings of the sketch in which Miss
Ryan is appearing, and she went to
her home for a visit. AS the legisla-
ture was in session Miss Ryan went
with her father to Topeka to attend
few of the meetings. The last night
she was there the bill asking that
women be given equal voting rights
with men in Kansas came up. and
Judge Ryan turned to his daughter az
the roll OF legislators was being
called.
How would you voter" he asked
jokingly.
"Td vote against IT," the daugh-
ter replied. 81 don't believe politics
is the place for women. It cheapens
them in the eyes of men. and. any
way, politics isn't women's sphere"
Vote Was Close.
Guess you're right" the father
replied. The vote was close. One
moment the advantage would be in
favor OF the women and the next mo-
ment II would be against them. Judge
Ryan's name was called and he rose.
"I'ye talked to only one woman
about this" he said: "she is my
and she said vote against
II. So that's the way | shall vote"
The result showed that the bill had
lost-'59 to 81. Had Judge Ryan
voted for 1t, the result would have
been a tie. But Judge Ryan mad
taken his daughters advice.
THE next day the women got me
down to the suffrage headquarters
and argued with me for three hours"
said Miss Ryan, speaking of the Incl
dent. But / don't believe in suf-
frage for women, and never shall
| believe the greatest thing on earth
is a womanly woman. And when a
woman gets into politics she loses the
quality OF womaniiness."

ner caused him to turn round when
he met Carmack.
When he saw Carmack he said he
decided to have a talk with him and
try to settle their difficulty which was
causing his children uneasiness.
"As | spoke to Carmack, he reach
ed for his pistol and jumped behind
Mrs. Eastman" the colonel said. 81
remember saying something about
damned coward, who could hide be
hind a woman. but | did not say. I've
got YOU or I've got the drop on
you.
He said FIVE shots were fired, two
By Carmack, and three by Robin. He
did not draw his pistol until Carmack
fired at Robin. BY the time he had
Il out the shooting was over. He said
he put his pistol back in his pocket
and gave his pistol to Sergeant Reed
He didn't remember giving Robins
pistol ID the officer.
He did ask that the crowd that
gathered at the iDtirmary be not ad-
mitted. as he did not know whether
II was friendly. He never said any
thing about not wanting to kill an
other man, as he hadn't killed any
one.
The cross-examination started with
question by Fitzhugh regarding a
transaction in which Cooper Is said to
have appropriated TO his own use,
money received while master of Maui
ry county. The defense objected be-
cause of the remoteness, saying the
transaction was in 1883. The state
said the defense had gone back TO the
Civil war. The jury retired while
they argued. The prosecution said II
would show the colonel to be a de-
faulter of 100000 in an effort to
his testimony.
When the cross-examlnatioD OF
Duncan Cooper was resumed today ii
was expected he would occupy the
stand until evening. In an effort 70
hasten the trial, Judge Hart inti-
mated 'that so much argument be-
tween the attorneys regarding the
of testimony would not
be permitted.
Many of Cooper's friends crowded
the court room to hear his version Of
the death of Carmack. With the
completion of his testimony the most

Judge Hart ruled out an editorial

sailed Duncan Cooper. The defendant
was eross-examined at great length,
as to his political career. He was
asked whether he supported Repub-
hcan gubernatorial candidate Fuzzele,
and said he never voted for a Repub-
lean in his life. He said Fuzzele was
a Democratic candidate during a fac
tional fight. Cooper declared he did
not sanction the statement published

Rear-Admiral George W. Melville, in a
striking article in the June number of
The North American Review on ''The
American Boy and the American Me-
chanic," finds menace to the best inter
ests Of the country in the disappearance
of apprenticeship, fact for which the
Trades Unions are responsible. The con-
sequence is that the ranks of the me-
chanics are recruited not from American
stock trained under American condition,
Init from mechanics trained in foreign
countries. He says:
in recent years / have noticed with
GREAT regret that our machine shops and
manufacturing establishments are coming
ing to depend more and more on me-
chanics of foreign birth, who received
their training before coming to this
country. While immigration has been very
large. the skilled mechanics have certainly
not formed the bulk of it, and the reason
for reduction in the percentage OF native
born American mechanics must be sought
elsewhere. One very important cause is
the limitation of the number of appren-
ices which has been brought about by
the action of the Trades Unions. Many
other observers have called attention te
this condition, and have pointed out the
folly of American workmen in dellber'
ately preventing their boys from quail
flying themselves for good position II
ife by becoming expert craftsmen. The
immigration of skilled foreign workmer
is not limited in any way land ! woule

The report of the railroad commission
ers, filed with the governor and council
last week, speaks very highly of the
Bangor and Aroostook road, both as to
its construction and equipment. 1t finds
the road we'll ballasted, the track in ex-
cellent line and surface, the right of way
remarkably clean, and the stations and
other buildings in good repair and taste
fully painted. Of the new line from
South Lagrange to Seboeis it is said that
it has justified all expectations regard
ing the length of trains which can be
drawn over it, more than SO cars being
frequently taken in one train. The entire
line from West Seboeis to Searsport is
first class in every particular and capable
of carrying an immense traffic, especially
in the southern direction As an indi-
cation of the development following rail-
road facilities it is noted that kindling
wood factory to employ about 100 hands
has been erected at Eagle lake, and new
single mills of large capacity have been
erected at both Eagle lake and Ashland
which add greatly to the traffic of the
Ashland branch. At Northern Maine
junction extensive tracks have been
laid with every facility for large inter
change of traffic with the Maine Central,
and at Milo junction the extensive repair
shops have every modern convenience
and machinery for making repairs upon
engines and cars. The extensive transfer
table for transferring rolling stock from
one track to parallel track and operated
by an electric motor is prominent feat
lage built upon elevated ground on the
opposite side of the tracks from the shops
gives the employees of the road nice homes
at moderate rents. All the houses are
provided with electric lights and an
abundant supply of good water. Of the
Bangor and Aroostook road the commits
sioners say:
This road is essentially a Maine rail-
road built primarily for the development
of the lumber and agricultural interests of
the northern portions OF the state. Inc
management has been, and is, DESTROYS
of extending and operating its lines of
road so as to accomplish the greatest re-
suits toward such development The
prosperity of Aroostook county means
the, prosperity of this railroad, and each
is dependent upon the other.
1t might be added that the prosperity
of Aroostook and of the B. & A. con-
tribute to the prosperity of Maine, and
Waldo county in particular is interested
this company having invested consider
ably over one million dollars in its splen-
did terminal facilities at Searsport and
Stockton. and which we believe will be
utilized at no distant day to their full
capacity.

General George w. Wingate is the
author of an important article in the June
number of The North American Review,
entitled THE Truth in Regard to the
War in 1912 and the Necessity of Our
Knowing It." General Wingate deplores
the fact that the ludicrous misconcep-
tons regarding of fortunes of American
arms in that war tend to blind the peo-
pie of the nation to the necessity of pre-
parlng by general military training and
practice in rifle shooting for possible con-
Hicts IN the future. He gives a detailed
history Of our military operations in the
in the War Of 1912, with that result
of showing that instead of achieving a
series Of splendid victories, we presented
a spectacle of encounters with the enemy
which, with few signal and glorious ex-
ceptions, We're disgraceful fascos. Cen
eraJ Wingate says:
The conviction as to our exploits in
1872 in defeating foreign regulars with
unframed American citizens is not only
prevalent, but constitutes a serious in
jury to the county in the influence which
it exerts in preventing necessary mill
tary legislation to provide adequate
means of national defence, and at present
in leading many to oppose that instruc-
ton of our youth in craftsmanship, not
to mention military drill, which every
soldier recognizes to be indispensable for
the maintenance of peace; for no country
can expect to remain at peace unless it is
prepared to defend itself in time of war.
AS we never will have sufficient regular
army to do this, we can only make up
for it by training our youth to such good
shots that they will be formidable as vol
unteers. The Boer war showed what
skilled refemen could do even against re-
gular soldiers"
