Madison, Wis, April 2S.--Women Of
Wisconsin permitted the woman's
suffrage bill which passed the senate
two weeks ago to go down to defeat
in the assembly this morning The
final vote was So to 81, thirteen mem
bers being absent.
Despite the wide advertisement
given the fact that the bill was to
come up today for it's fate in this
legislature, members of the fair sex
were not strongly in evidence at the
capitol.
Mr.. Hoyt's bill to regulate the prac-
tice of midwifery was advanced. The
Johnson substitute amendment was
defeated, and motion to kill the bill
was lost.
The assembly killed the Thomas
bill (535A) to put county officers on a
salary basis. A similar bill has al
ready passed.
The following senate bills were ad-
vanced:
349S (Owen), prohibiting any gift
Or payment to any officer or employe
of the state by any bank, trust or in
surance company; Ais (Owen), re-
lating to licenses of insurance agents;
518S, use of fire protection near for
ests or brush land.
By a vote of 40 to As the assembly
killed Busacker bill, ASA, providing
for the recall of elective municipal of
ficers. On motion of Leuch the vote
was reconsidered and the measure
again slaughtered.
The assembly killed 20A, by Berner,
limiting the hours of labor for women
in manufacturing establishments to
sixty hours a week and no night en-
ployment allowed.
The following bills were passed:
255A (Ledvina), relating to the
crime of larceny of property of vari-
Gus values and by bailee; increasing
the penalty from five to twenty-five
years; 260A (Ledvina), to increase
the penalty for the crime of embezzle-
ment to a maximum of twenty-five
years; 352A COMMITTEE on forestry,

Newport to Go Dry

That an attempt should be made
70 vote Newport "dry" under the
new local option law of the state of
Washington was decided at meet
ing hold at the Baptist church
Monday evening. After discussion
of the movement it was decided to
start petitions calling for an cleo
ton, and Rev. Meter, J. E. Will
Jams and A. Ray Williams were
appointed committee to circulate
the petitions.
1t is estimated that there are 210
qualified electors within the incor-
porated limits of Newport. Wash,
and in order to get an election
called it will be necessary to secure
the signatures of 80 per cent of
these voters to the petition. The
work of the committee has pro-
crossed 80 far that there can be
little doubt that an election will be
called for September 7, the same
date the county committee has set
for the election outside the incor-
porated towns. When completed
the petition will be filed with the
city clerk, which must be done by
July Z, as the law requires it to be
filed go days before the date set for
the election. Registration is re-
quired the same as for the general
elections.
Incorporated towns are a unit by
themselves, and the vote of the
rest of the county does not affect
them in any way. Those who are
behind the movement claim that
there can be little doubt but that
all of the comfy outside the towns
will be voted dry and most of the
towns will go their way.
Six counties of Northeastern
Washington will have this contest
to face this year, Spokane city and
county included. The local option
people are thoroughly organized
and are making a concerted effort
to vote this part of the state dry.
Advices received from local option
workers in Bonner county, Idaho
are to the effect that the movement
to force a vote has started there
and that they will be able to bring
the matter before the voters within
few months. The ladies will have
the opportunity of voting on the
question in Acknowledgment Mi
ner.

Why Did They Waitl

The readiness with which the
liquor men are now declaring them
selves to be law abiding citizens
and in favor of strict regulation
of the saloon business is to be easily
explained, as it is the only way in
which they can hops to stem the
ride of public opinion against the
liquor traffic, which has resulted
in the passage of local option or
prohibition laws in many of the
states of the Union, including Wash
ington.
Having defied the laws until the
people would stand for it no longer
and realizing that unless something
can be done to stop the reform
movement they will be driven out
of business altogether, they have
changed their tactics and are now
pleading for chance to reform the
business themselves.
AS result the Royal Arch and
the National Model License league
have come into existance and each
is making unlimited promises that
if left alone the saloon interests
will do all that is necessary to put
the liquor business upon a decent
and Legitimate basis.
1t is significant, however, that
many of those who are now loud in
making these promises are the very
ones who heretofore have ignored
the laws and brought the saloon
business into disrepute. Nearly all
of the large breweries are repre-
scented in one or both OF the above
organizatsons, and the police
records of the larger cities show
that some of the worst dives are
saloons owned by the breweries-
The opposition to the saloon has
grown to such an extent that it viii

Unfair Competition

Ii there was a trust in restraint
of trade that is persistently viola
ting the antitrust law, it is the
United States government, in it's
monopoly of printing and furnish
ing tamped envelopes to the gene
raj public. We have just received
a circular from the Third Assistant
Postmaster General which contains
the statement that the postofice
department will furnish any bust
ness man in Jackson or anywhere
else with 500 stamped envelopes,
regular business size, for $10.56
which includes $1,000 worth OF
stamps. This leaves 56c for fur
nisbing the 500 envelopes, printing
your business card on same and
delivering them to you by mail
from Washington. A box of SOC
envelopes weigh at least 3 pounds
and the regular postage rate thai
the government would charge you
if you were sending such package
through the mail, would be 1c an
ounce which would amount to 48c
The envelopes would cost the gov
eminent say at least 30c which
would make clear loss to the
government of 23c besides printing
This big loss is made up in the
postoffice deficiency bills which are
allowed by congress every year and
comes out of the pockets of the
general public. The point is, the
postoffice department has estsb'
lished big job printing Office and
prints and sells envelopes in com.
pition with every job printing and
newspaper Office and stationery
dealer in the country, and by itt
methods practically freezes out 81
these legitimate business institu.
tons from this class of work. Il
we had some one to put up for the
efficiency on orr ledger accounts
we could furnish envelopes to oul
customers just as cheap as the
postoffice department. Is this {
fair proposition?-Jackson Repub
