IT WON'T DO HERE

Here the heavy arguments being used in France and England by opponents of the female suffrage movement:
 "woman is more crafty and cunning than man, naturally, and, being given the same power, would be less honest. .
 "we must admit that the two master works of humanity are her monopoly; to create the child and comfort the man. She can't do better than to stick to them"
 To admit tho first proposition is to admit that woman is more brainy than man. She would be more successfully dishonest. We don't know how 1t Is abroad, but if woman in America could be more dishonest than man has been or make worse mess of government politics than man has, it would be due to superior natural capacity.
 As to the second proposition. Does woman stick to those two so-called master works solely? Not in this coun- try.
 There is hardly young man in this whole nation but ii influenced, one way or another, for good or bad, by a woman. There are few married men who do not work and vote without some regard to the welfare or desires of tho wife, and the exec ptions to this rule are mainly men who have no ade- quate conception of their political obli- gations and hence their cnfranchise- meLt is farce.
 The question in this country is not as to whether women s influence shall be confined to breeding and the conl- forting of man. She has already got far beyond that, because men realize that her influence in all things is good. But the question here is as to whether or not her influence shall be positive, direct and have full definite force. The question is not, Is she equal? but, Should she have cquality7
 Maybe they can tie her up to the cradle and cookstove over there, but here she broke those chains long ago, which is ono of the reasons why this country is bit ahead of any other on the whole map.

THREE WINS OUT OF FIVE
Wall Street Conditions All Favor the
 Insiders.

John Parr, in Everybody s Magazine.
 There is nothing more sordid in Wall street than the use that is made in the stock market by insiders (directors, bankers, and their likc) of information accessible only to themselves.
 They have the first information of changes in earnings; they are able to anticipate dividend changes months ahead; they know what financial tran sections are impending, as, for in stance, an increase of stock. If they made rse of their knowledge in a di- rect way, as buying on favorable de. velopments or selling on those of an unfavorable nature, that would be bad enough. But when, being in posses sion of favorable knowledge, they be- gin by manipulating the stock down to induce others to sell that they nisy buy more easily, or, on unfavorable know ledge, pursue tho opposite tactics, 1t is indefensible.
 This sort of thing, however, is so much taken for granted that profession al stock exchange traders habitually sell stock on any favorable announce meIt which the insiders must have known was coming. Why? Because the insiders have probably loaded up with stock at lower prices and will now be willing to sell Hence the axiom: "Sell on good news, the insiders have dis counted it. Buy on bad news, and for the same reason v
 To be right the odd time ill five is all that any experienced speculator hopes for. The margin between profit and loss is very slender. No less an authority than James R. Keens has said: with all the money spend for information and with all the experience I have, the best that can do is to be right four times in seven. If I could be right three times in five should have more money than I would know what to do with.'' The difference be- tween four times in seven, his average, and three times in five, which was more than he could expect, is once in thirty five times.
 Ponder this well, ye who wonder why you los, money in Wall street! What chance have you for the odd time in five, which satisfies the professional against men who command the machin- cry of manipulation, have all the infor- nation first, and a great deal of the time control the news that makes prices go up and down.

hard toll of their wives. In time most of them are thrown ont or driven away to look out for themselves. A divorce in such case leaves the wife free to devote her earnings to the benefit of her children without annoyance. There are other husbands who, in periods of business depression especially, tire of the burden of maintaining family, and quietly disappear, cruelty abandon ing those whose support is their first duty. Doubtless the prolonged hard times following the panic of 1873 had much to do with the dismal divorce statistics of 1s70so. A Chicago charity official declares that there are more than 2o,00o deserted wives in that com munity. So frequent is desertion that 1t has been made penal offense in nearly every state, 30 that the deserters may. be extradited wherever found.
 Divorces on the grounds of nonsup- port and desertion thus make up tho largest part of the statistics, and some thing may be said in defense of the wife who protects herself and her chil- dren from tho abuse of worthless bus band by means of the courts. However grave the record may be, it does not warrant the opinion that the divorce evil has invaded the society of respec- table and representative Americans. The statement Is official that the mar riage rate is higher in this country than in any other and that the illegal unions are fewer. This is not consistent with the idea of a common divorce evil.

THE NEW TARIFF

They 'vc fixed the tariff sure enough In mans own bungling way, They've raised the rate on women $
 stuff,
 So let us to the fray! .Furs, feathers, gloves, perfumery, 'fis thus the list begins; They've also raised the tax on tea And ornamental things. Who wants free hides and iron ore? Who called for croton oil? Whatever "basic slag'' may be, I hope the stuff will spoil. The free list teens with terms like
 these,
 And to their other sins They add that awful tax on tea And ornamental pins A necessity is coffee
 Men drink it everywhere; But why is tea luxury,
 Like manufactured hair7 They lower the rate on butchers
 knlveS,
 On timbers, drugs and tins; But what of fancy coats and tea And ornamental pins? O Sister Women, rise with me: I pledge my faith to you In steaming cups of fragrant tea It matters not what brew. Fight till you see that tea is free; The valiant fighter wins; Then fight for free perfumery And ornamental pins. -Clarce W. Riley in the Philadel- phia Public Ledger.

ings of the exposition added to the
government structures, complete
the circle around the Court of Hon
or, the Manufacturer Palace to
the east; the Palace of Agriculture
across the basin, on the west; the
government group, Alaska, Hawaii,
Fisheries and Mines, directly to the
north; and around the outer circle
or back of these buildings Just mem
toned, are the Foreign and State
exhibit buildings.
Seven of the main buildings are
of permanent construction, to re-
vert to the University of Washing
ton when the Exposition is over.
The most imposing and unique in
appearance, and the one that inter-
ested us most was the Forestry
Building. This building typifies in
it's architecture the leading industry
of the State of Washington. 1t is
built of huge fir and cedar logs, in
their rough state, averaging from
five to seven feet in diameter, and
from forty to fifty feet long. The
weight of each one of these great
logs is estimated at $4,000 pounds,
and containing some 5000 feet in
board measure. 1t is said to be the
largest log house ever built. This
building is of permanent construc-
ton, and while an architectural nov-
city, is surprisingly beautiful.
While all the exhibits at the diff
ferent buildings were beautiful and
much time could be consumed in
| explaining their uses, the one that
took our fancy, was the Treadwell
Gold Mine exhibit ALASKA building).
This exhibit consists of bricks and
bars of real gold, tons of rich gold
quartz and many sacks of the rich
est concentrates. The reason why
we did not bring home one of the
gold bricks was, they had it all en-
closed in a large, heavy iron-barred
cage, and our magic power was not
sufficiently strong to draw one of
the bricks through the bars.
In the interior of the Spokane
building the highest artistic art is
| displayed in the arrangements of
it's exhibits, beautiful pictures il
lustrating seed and harvest time,
and finely decorated panels, no
paint used, all made out of seeds,
cereals, corn, oats, grain, and
grasses, so artistically constructed
that it required minute inspection
to discern its makeup.
Taken as a whole the Fair is a
good one, and reflects great credit
upon the people of the northwest.
The electric display is not so elabor-
ate as at Buffalo, but it is good and
we trust the results will show good
returns for the investments.
The amusement feature of the
exposition is THE Pay Streak" in
Chicago, and Omaha it was THE
Midway" in st. Louis it was THE
Pike" in Portland it was The
Trail" and at jamestown The
Warpath."
In Alaska, the pay streak is a
mine of gold. Here in Seattle at the
fair, it means mine of fun. We
simply walked through this portion
of the exhibition. We did not
spend much time here.
In our next letter we will tell OF
our trip to Portland, Oregon, San
Francisco, and Los Angeles, Cal.

her she sold all her real estate and put

is the custom with some women, was
her stocking. The Judgment was given
against her, and because she would not
pay nor tell where the money was she
was sent to Jail for year. Her coun-
sci tried to get her released. The fol-
lowing conversation formed part Of
