Tested no general desire for a restoration
Of their old right. In Massachusetts, par
ticularly, they failed to respond when the
legislature left the decision Of the question
to a vote of the women themselves. Women
had the right to vote in the territory of
Washington, but lost It when that common
wealth was admitted to the union of states.
But Washington is a western state and the
women always have been active in pushing
their demands for the franchise. In other
states the movement rs carried on by a very
small percentage Of the female population.
In the east and the south a vast majority
Of the women not only remain indifferent
TO the appeal OF their emancipated sisters,
but actually are opposed to the entire
movement.
In the United States, as we'll as in Eng

declared that woman suffrage in Colorado
had been a complete failure and that the

Of some thousands of fallen women who

Immediately brought forth an indignant
protest from Colorado. In which the gov
ernor of the state, former Senate Patter-
son and Judge Ben Lindsay of Juvenile
SQUIRT fame. together with many others Of
the most prominent men in Colorado, vlgor-
ously denied the truth of the statement
made by the New York speaker. Prae-
tically every prominent man in Colorado
has signed the petition for woman suffrage
which will be presented to congress next
week. In Utah. Wyoming and Idaho, while
there is some opposition and some adverse
criticism, the vast majority of the people

fragettes and their methods he said:
1T is told Of a little girl who had been
brought up in a newly-built town in a re-
mote western state of America that when
she was taken to New York and saw for
the first time the crowded horse cara out

vania railway she cried out; How cruell

jumped over this Anticipated absurdity of

Mr.. zangwin used this Incident to illus
trate his contention that "ln strange, raw

march Of civilization had jumped over the
traditions OF the barbario system which

Is true that the newest and most recently
organized states a been most liberal in
granting the elective franchise to the
weaker sex, Finland and Iceland and even

Outsiders differ in their opinion Of
whether or not woman suffrage Is a sue
cess in those communities where It has
been tried. their differences being in the
exact ratio OF their prejudices. but the in
siders apparently are pretty well agreed
that woman suffrage is a good thing.
In New Zealand the constitutional pro-
vision extending the privilege OF the bal

by the narrow margin OF two votes In an
election in which the whole male popula-

 Household Economy } How to Hnve the Best Cough Syrup and Save g., by , Making It at Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule. contain a large quantity of plain syrup. If you sake one pint of granulated sugar, add . pint of warm water and stir about , minutes. you have as good syrup as money could buy.
 If you will then put 2lz ounces of Pinex (50 cents worthl in a pint bottle. md fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you will have as much cough syrup as you could buy ready made for S2.50. It keeps perfectly.
 And you will find it the best cough syrup you ever used-cven in whooping cough. You can feel it take hold-usu- ally stops the most severe cough in 24 hours It is just laxative enough, has a good tonic effect and taste is pleasant. Take a teaspoonful every one. two or three hours.
 It is a splendid remedy. too. for aoarseness, asthma, chest pains, etc.
 Pinex is the most valuable concen- trated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guiaicOl and all the healing pine elements. No other prepa- ration will work in this formula.
 This recipe for moking cough remedy with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now used and priZed in thousands of homes in the United States and Canada. The plan has often been initiated but never successfully.
 A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex. ar will get it for you. If not. send to The PineX Co, Tt. Wayne. Ind.

No effort was made to pick out men who pose as leaders of young peoples organizations. Tut citi- zens of representative character gen orally were asked as they were en- countered Many responses were SC cured but there is space at this time for only a few expressions as follows: Colonel McClintock. the Phoenix postmaster. said: If the purpose of the movement is to instill not only patri- Otism but to some extent capability, as suredly it is one of the laudable things that should be supported by every patriotic American. It has always been my belief that military drill and military rifle practices should be cap ably taught in the higher grades of the grammar school and in the high school in order to fit the young American for possible duty as a soldier This boy scout movement appears to be in the nature of a substitute that is efficient as far as it goes,

He was no better nor braver than other boys by nature, but he knew what to do."

 IN HIS GEOGRAPHY
Story of How He Happened to Leave a Phoenix Baby in London, Eng.

Franklin D. Lane received a letter yesterday from pr. l. Payne Palmer, dated in London, England, and con- taining a surprise package The lat ter consisted in the announcement of the birth of Payne Schantz Palmer in the metropolis of the world on the 4th day of November at 11:5O a. m. The doctor said the parents of the child had kept the secret of their eX- pected happiness to themselves to ob- viate any possible worry on the part of relatives, and they are now proud to announce that London, England. is the most fitting place they know of for a young American to begin his career. pointing in support of their opinion to their most promising son. whom they expect to bring back home and introduce to Phoenix society early in January. 1911.
 The doctor wrote that they expected to sail in the George Washington for New York, which port they would reach on Dec. 23d. As that is the boat that had the honor of bringing over pr. Cook. who didn't discover the pole the father of the American baby born in London was not the only celebrity on board. but people will believe his story more readily than Cooks. even if he has no Es- kimOs. Anyhow. he will have the baby as proof.
 After a day spent in New York with Mrs. Lane and her mother. sis ter and mother of pr. Palmer. it was their plan to proceed to Dayton, Ohio, and visit a few days with Mrs Pal mer's relatives. They are supposed to be there now. and may be expected in Phoenix most any time after next Sunday. Friends of MT. and Mrs. Palmer will remember that they left here about the first of July, 1909 in- tending to make a world tour and be gone a year Instead, they changed their plans eliminating the orient from their itinerary, but extending their time abroad and giving a great deal more of it tO the largest European capitals They first travelled through Spain and east through the Medi- terranean countries to the Holy Land and Egypt Returning. they have been at various places on the con- tinent until recent months. spending much time in Berlin and other Ger man cities.
