SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. To-
1.-THE power of woman, for good or
evil, since time began, has been
tremendous. Instances i'm history
where woman has welded her
power for evil are rare. Usually,
when she has fought, she has
fought for what she believed to be
right and just and true.
'Woman is the home-maIxer.
The home is the foundation of
clean government. Through the
home, therefore, woman can be
as great a power for good i'm poll
tics as i'm any other sphere of ac-
tivfty. Clean politics are directed
from the home. Clean public SER
wants are chosen i'm the home, just
as corrupt public servants are
chosen from those of the dive, i'm
the corporation private Office
1.-THE effect for good of the eff
forts of the Women's Heney Club
i'm the present municipal campaign
cannot be computed. Neither can
it be over-estimated."
That is the tribute paid by f. J
Heney, the San Francisco graft
fighter, to an organization of over
400 San Francisco women, which
is working quietly, steadfastly
and tirelessly to defeat, through
the election of Heney, the crafty,
organized efforts of rich law
breakers to save themselves from
criminal prosecutions though Sc

There is nothing hysterical,
nothing notwithstanding about
the Women's Heney club.
It's members represent the best
in the city's home and social life.
Some of the members are in mod
crate circumstances, some of them
are rich, prominent socially. Mrs.
Elizabeth Gerberding, the presi-
dent, is one of these. Some of
the women believe in equal suf-
frage, some of them do not. All
of them believe that Francis ].

attorney of San Francisco.
THE issue as we see it," say
Mrs. Gerberding, lis principle-no
party or person. We want a clean
city. The election of Mr.. Heney to
the office of district attorney will
mean, wwe believe, a clean city.
The success of the influences op-
posing the principle which Mr..
Heney represents, would be a
menace to every home in San
Francisco, to every boy and girl
growing to manhood and woman
hood within those homes.
I'VE believe the time is coming
when voters will not allow Sound
rels to grasp and hold the reins
of government. We believe that
women, even without vote, can
do much toward Fastening that
time. The efforts of our club,
therefore, are directed largely
toward securing the cooperation
of other women. Our members,
as they can spare the time from
their homes, visit every home pos
sible in the districts assigned to
them, talking with wives and
mothers, daughters and sisters,
explaining issues, outlining our
purposes and urging them to use
their influences to the end that
the votes that come from their
individual homes shall be cast
right.
woman has a right, a very
good and logical right, to interest
herself and participate in civic af-
fairs. That is the thing we are
endeavoring to show the women
of San Francisco. She can partici-
pate right in her own home. When
men do not discuss public affairs
with their wives, it is because
it they believe their wives do not
understand. If women can show
she understands, the influence of
her view will go far when the
men of her household go to cast
their ballots.
THAT is the basis of our work.
We shall undoubtedly be success
full in the end"

a general instruction of slaves in
Virginia was rumored also. Col.
Robt. d. Lee, destined to be the
leader of the confederacy at that
time regular army officer, with
force of marines captured the
sturdy Commander" of the Har-
pers Ferry revolutionists, and
after due trial Brown was SEN
fenced to be hanged.
Throughout the trial, as he was
accused, Brown preserved a dignity
and advocacy of his rights that
made of him a martyr.
His addresses to the court and
farewell letters to his family on
the eve of his doom are classics
of resignation to death.
II am waiting the hour of my
public murder with great compos-
ure of mind and cheerfulness," he
wrote to hi sfamily three days be-
fore he was hanged, feeling the
strong assurance that in no other
possible way could l be used to so
much advantage to the cause of
God and humanity, and that moth

when its building was started.
Benz. r. Brewster, retired
lumberman of Lake Placid, N. Y,
was a lad in Browns household at
the time of the Inflated armory
seizure.
Sometimes of an evening he
would stand up and talk to his
family" Mr.. Brewster says, in re-
calling the characteristics of John
Brown. "One night l remember he
said very solemnly to his wife and
children that although the times
seemed discouraging, the should
know that the darkest hour came
before dawn, the blackets clouds
before the clearing weather."
Intermixed with his intense re-
ligious fervor was a belief in his
power to commune with spirits,
which undoubtedly influenced
many Of his acts. Among the SUI
perstitious negroes, whom he aid
ed whenever possible, Brown was
little less than a saint, and their
conviction that he communed with
divine agencies was profound.
Even now, in many parts of the
south, today is being observed by
the negroes in memory of Brown
and his martyrdom.

Mp. MAKES NEW
MOVE AGAINST
TACOMA

The REIMBURSEMENT of divisions"
is the latest thing the Northern
Pacific railway has evolved for
injuring Tacoma.
In the change things will be
shifted around so that nearly 100
engines that have been making
headquarters in Tacoma will be
taken to Seattle. This will mean
the shifting of about 500 men to
Seattle, according to reports from
the trainmen, who are up in arms
over the new order.
The men will endeavor to have
the order modified and delega-
tions will go to st. Paul to wait
on President Elliott to stop the
intended move.
At the master mechanics office
today it was declared the change
will not be as important as the
men fear. 1t was declared, how
ever, that some men now living in
Tacoma will have to go to Seattle.
1t is likely some action will be
taken by the local commercial
bodies to stop this process of con-
tinuous introduction of new
schemes that operate against this
city.

Johnny Jones is SIS years
old.
Despite the fact that some
Times readers tried to make him
only a baby and others figured
him to be young man, Johnny
is just little over nine years.
Several readers, however,
solved the problem correctly.
Here is the problem as Johnny
put it to his teacher:
when I was born my sister
was one-quarter the age of moth
err. Sister is now one-third as
old as father, and / am one-quar-
ter of mothers age. In four years
l shall be one-quarter as old as
father"
Here is the best and clearest
solution to the problem, proving
that Johnny is just 3-5 years of
age:
Johnny is II mothers age now.
Mother therefore was only
three times Johnny's age when he
was born.
Sister was II mothers age
when Johnny was born. She was
age.
In four years from now father
will be 5 u Johnny's age plus 4
years. That will be four times
Johnny's age then, who will be his
age now plus 4 years.
Now, then, 5A Johnny's age
and 4 years would equal Johnny's
age plus years 4 times over.
That is, 5A Johnny's age and
years would equal 4 times John
ny's age and sixteen years. In the
above, the difference of / u John
ny's age is equal to II years.
Five fourths being equal to
IL, Il would be 2-5, and A
would be 9 3-5, which is Johnny's
now therefore 16 4-5 years, which
is 1-3 fathers age. Father is
so 2-5 years now. Four years
from now he will be "a % years,
and Johnny will then be 13 3-5,
which is n of 54 2-5.
