of women which is fighting for the

True, the magistrate was good
enough to give us places in "jail"

the ordinary drunkard of the dens of
Cheapside Is sentenced, but the care
which We received was not such that
our lives in the confinement of the
Jail was by any means comfortable.
One of our number was a member of
the British nobility and the grievous
wrong which we believe was inflicted
upon her station will not be forgotten
by our suffrage. band for many years.
Yet we refused to allow ourselves
freedom.
Men have laughed at our methods of
going about the requirement of our
right to the ballot.
A male friend of mine said to me:
why do not you women go after
the suffrage right peaceably without
the attempt at making your point felt
by the use of brute strength"

leaders who thought out the plan to
talk TO the members of parliament by
having two of the women chain them
selves to the guard in the balcony.
Just that little incident gave England

Modern advertising methods were

Another manner of unique aJvertis-

fortunately ended disastrously. The

J. Henry Blakeman made a very good argument, Saturday night at the Grange meeting, on the question: Does the flag mean as much to us as to the boys of sixty-one?" He took the ground that it does, and that it should mean a good deal more In 1861 there was doubt whether the flag would float over a. united union, and whether it would be the flag of free dom. Those questions had to be set tied on the battle field. Since then the flag has grown in importance ana universal respect and reverence. Now we have flags on the graves of our heroes in all wars; we have flag day; we have placed it on all the school houses and we salute the flag every morning; now it waves over the Sand wfch and the Philippine Islands and now it is crowded with stars repre- senting great and prosperous States, and we have one day especially set apart for the flag. All these things the flag is held in love and admiration by all the freedom seeking people of the world.

THE BLIND SENATOR
(Boston Transcript.)

IA splendid example of accomplish ment in the face of a serious misfor- tune is afforded by Thomas P. Gore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma. His success in speech-making naturally oc- casioned no surprise; but his skill in repartee and his readiness to furnish off-hand information when asked for; and the exactness with which he quotes any challenged passage from the classics, evokes admiration. His memory is not only prodigious on the for formal delivery in the Senate, but it seems equally good with the much larger fund of material which he seems to have in stock to be brought out whenever it is called for. If an oppo- uent makes a remark which invites a reply Gore is almost as likely to have the facts and figures with him as with something on which he has especially primed himself. It is said that he al- ways knows where information can be found and then sets his secretary, or Mrs. Gore. to reading it to him; what he has once heard becomes his prop CTS as a boy even before his infirmity cxertook him, so that his achievements cannot all be accounted for by the ex- fra concentration which his exclusion from the sights of the physical world has produced. His face is pleasing and appears decidedly more boyish than ffat of other men of thirty-nine. His offe1na1 selection seemed somewhat odd perhaps characteristic of Okla homa but it is by no means clear that he will not prove of great usefulness 1n the Senate It is still debating 16r1n

 Rittsburg, July 10.-Officers of the Analgamated Association of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers have decided that their hope of victory. in their strike against the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company'S open shop order Hes in organizing the non-union men in the trust plants that have not been affected by the strike. The American Federation of Labor has given its aid and Emmet Flood and John A. Feet. general organizers, have left Washing ton and joined the Amalgamated offic- zals in the work of organizing.
 Amaigamated officials say that not one of the several thousand men who went on strike has weakened, and that if they stand firm until a few more union plants are organized the trust with which to open it's mills as inde- pendent plants are taking advantage of conditions and opening their mills thus taking many men off the market. Independent owners are with the un- ion. They can. see that the fight Is against them as well as against organ ixed labor.
 The men at Cambridge, O., are ex- pected to strike tonight. The trusts made pretense of reopening an aban- doned plant in Pittsburg but with lit tie success Union officials expect that the trusts first move now will be to open in Ewood. Ind. 1t is GUS tomary to close mills in July and Au- gust. men being unable to stand the heat in. those months, and many are idle because of the shut down.

Cuba Breaks Contract to
 Please United States

Washington. July 12.-News coming from Havana that President Gomez
 has broken the contract with gun manufacturers in France and Ger many for 15.000 Mausers and pieces of artillery has been received with Satisfaction here and has been taken as an evidence that the Cuban Execul five wishes to please the United States. A fortnight ago this Govern nnent sent a note to Cuba in which Objections were made to several things. One concerned the purchase of arms for the new Cuban army. The contract for these guns was made without advertising for bids and American manufacturers had no op- portunity to participate in the con- tract.
 The State Department in the note of two weeks ago expressed it's regret that this course had been followed by the Cuban government and said that in the future it would please the United States Government if oppor- funity was given American manufac- turers to furnish Cuba with supplies There is no doubt that President Go- mez's annulment of the foreign con- tracts is due to the representations from the Department of State here.
