brIng one about, Why SHOULDN'T they equally bear
the decision?
The details Of suffrage, Of course, depend
upon expediency. The ideal IS that al men and
all women should have a stake in the welfare OF
the country. and that they should have direct
voice in their own government.
While the social state required the subor-
dinatiOn o. women within the family the high
est law justified It, as it did formerly that Of
slavery. But when the need passed. the jasti-
6caton also passed. And, unless We wish 10 re-
main il an arrested stage Of civilization, and
therefore, decadent one, we must take the step
that progress demandsz-nsmely: grant woman
the full exercise OF al her faculties equally with
man, snd make her equally responsible

Eventful Day Nameo by Bridegroom.

USTOM ordains that the bride shall name the
wedding day, but As with many another ordi-
nance Of custom, her so doing is much more in
form than in fact, polite fiction to which every
one defers while knowing it TO be fiction.
The truth IS, that no woman who obeys the
convention Of her sex can set the date OF her
marriage until she duly is importuned By her
prospective bridegroom to do so.
She may delay her wedding day without
good and sufficient reason, she may hang back
with maidenly timidity, or she may suffer her
self to be, as It were, swept of her feet and
rushed into matrimony By the passionate haste

COMMITTEE ENDS WORK
ON HOME RULE MEASURE
p. J. M. HatIy Aids Members In Reach

ported Out Soon.

LANSING, Mich. May l5.-The
home rule conference committee came
10 an agreement late last night, p.
J. NJ. Hally, OF Detroit. was with the
members and aided in the satisfactory
solution. The compromise measure Is
based on Hally's bill. but the following
material changes are made:
Cities cannot hold property outside
the corporate limits: the bonding linn
it for buying public utilities shall not
exceed four per cent of assessed yalua-
ton, and in no instance can the en-
tire bonded Indebtedness Of any city
exceed the general limit OF 10 per
cent. When any city is bonded for I
per cent it can only bond three per
cent more for public utilities; II IL is
generally bonded for S per cent IL can
bond for only 2 per cent more for
public utilities.
The subject OF city representation
on boards OF supervisors was the hard
est nut TO crack and as there appeared
no possibility OF solving the problem
the subject was left as under the pres
ent law
The annexation problem was solved
this way: When any portion or a
township is proposed for annexation
TO n city the proposition must be sub

plan.

pected 10 be reported out not later

SAYS COMMITTEE
'BURIES' MEASURES
Senator Gore Deaeunees- Finance
Committee-wants Responsibility
Placed for High Price of Goods.

WASHINGTON, May l5.-Following
up his. defense OF the retailers IN the
senate several days ago. Mr.. Gore. OF
Oklahoma. introduced long resolu-
ton on the subject in the senate to-
day.
The resolution sets forth that II Is
asserted and admitted that current
prices In the United States are unrea-
sonable and exorbitant that there is
adherence of opinion as 10 the cause,
that II is important that the persons
guilty be located and charged with the
responsibility. The resolution pro-
yiues tnat the senate committee on
finance slAll make an investigation
and report on the import value, whole
sale and retail prices OF foreign made
goods, and the cost OF manufacture
and wholesale and retail prices or do
nestle goods.
Senator Hale OF Maine suggested
that the resolution did not confer on
the committee any power now held by
II.
THE committee has the power.
said Gore, but il has not been used.
Solemn senators have charged here
that retailers exacted e..tortionate
prices prices from their customers. X
the manufacturers are not responsible
for the high prices, they have right
to be exonerated. II the retailers are
the robbers that has been pictured
here, they should be exposed
Hale then removed that The resolu-
ton be referred to the senate finance
committee.
I'm the name OF justice snd truth,
said Gore, the resolution should not
be buried, for the senate fpance com
n.ittee Is a cemetery.
Hale declared that the retailers
have been arraigned as robbers. but
said Ii had been claimed that in the
course OF trade, the price OF an article
Is enhanced, so that by the time II
reaches the consumer, the tariff has
little or nothing TO do with the price.
Senator Flint said that in his opin'
ion, the retailers made m exorbitan'
profit. and he complained that they
charged the high price TO the tarin.
AIdrich objected to further consider
alton of the resolution and IL went
oyer till Monday. when Gore will re-
peat the demand he made today for
roll call on the question OF its adop
ton.
