STATEMENT OF FATHER
DECLARES SHE AND HER.
MOTHER DO VOTE.

DENVER, Colo, July 22.--It
looks today as though former Cow
ernor Buchtel should have con-
suited his wife and daughter be-
fore he made the sweeping .asser-
tion in New York recently that his
wife and daughter Stunned poll
tics, as do the majority of women
in Colorado" Incidentally, it ap-
pears that Buchtel did not mean
1t when he declared that only
women of the lower type vote.
Either Buchtel was expressing his
private opinion far away from
home, or he was ignorant of the
voting proclivities of the feminine
branch of his family.

have not missed an election since
we have had the right to vote."
said Miss Emma Buchtel.
Logically" she continued, ii
think women should vote. They
have been given the right. and
their participation in politics
should tend to better the condi-
tions of women in every state OF
life.
81 do not think women appre-
ciate the right that has been given
them. Otherwise women would
take more active interest in
politics than they have done here
tofore."

A prominent progressive repub-
lican senator said: ut is abso-
lutely too late now for President
Taft to revision downward. Even
IL he should get all four articles
on the free list, the total result
of congress work will be revision
upward"
Champ Clark, leader of the mi
nority, said: "The articles Sc
lected by the president for the free
list are all articles which will
benefit the trust by being placed
on the free list.
"The steel trust will not quar-
Irel seriously with free ore; the
! oil trust will not fuss much over
free crude; SO long as they can
have protection on their manufac-
itured products; the shoe-makinf
TRUST will not. quarrel with free
hides, nor will the mills of New
England object seriously to free
coal. No, this is not the kind OF
revision downward likely to make
the rest of living cheaper for the
average citizen"
The essentials of the tariff law
have already been determined.
This includes rates, as we'll as the
so-called administrative fea-
lures" of the law. What remains
are the purely formal doings.
That which is happening now is
la little drama, entitled:

Communication with Galveston

land nothing is known of the dam
age done there by the storm.
From the fact that waves were

by the first storm it is feared that
more water was driven into the
lcity's streets by the second. 1t
is not thought. however, that
there is any danger of the sea wall
having given away, after the way
in which 1t wfthstood the waves
yesterday.
The storm extended north from
the Gulf of Mexico. Towns IN
the Colorado river valley between
here and the coast suffered great
ly but no lives were reported lost
In any of them, according to early
advices received here. Communi-
tcation with the surrounding coun-

Towns Under Water.

PORT ARTHUR, Tex, July 90.
The towns of Sabine and Sa-
bine Pass, Tex, are several feet
under water today, the storm
from the gulf having come In with
renewed fury this morning.
AS these towns are not well pro-
tected from the gulf the inhabi-
tants realized their danger in the
storm yesterday and practically
every person in the town left.
Most OF the Inhabitants were
brought here before today's storm
broke and it is believed that the
towns were practically deserted
when the second storm broke.
Reports from the inundated
towns are meager and the prop
erty loss Is not known.
Advices received from other
coast points indicate that heavy
damage has been done by the
storms OF yesterday and early to-
day. but as the reports are not
ia detail 1t cannot be learned
whether there has been any fur
ther loss of life.
