KAISER AGAINST
WOMAN VOTING

KOENIGSBERG, East Prussia, Au-
gust 26.-Emperor William, who is
making a tour of eastern Germany in
connection with his visit to Posen for
the dedication of his new castle, de-
livered a martial speech at the pro-
vincial banquet here last night, in
which he urged the necessity of CO.
operation with him in his work for
the welfare and defense of the cOun-
try.
German women, said the emperor,
should learn that their duty does not
lie in participating in public meetings
and societies nor in attaining suppos-
ed rights in which they may be able to
do the same things as men, but in
quiet work at home and in the fam
ily."
Should Train Young, He Says.
They should train, he said, the young
generations before all things, in ODE
dience and respect toward age. They
should make it clear to their children
and to their children's children that
they should not strive to live at the
cost of others nor at the cost of their
fatherland, but that, on the contrary,
they should have the fatherland alone
in mind, devoting all their strength
and intelligence to the welfare of the
country"
Taking as a text the role OF Queen
Louise of Prussia during the Napoleo-
mic wars, he eXtolled her virtues and
pointed out how her memory had fired
the courage of Prussian soldiers and
saved the country.
Preparation Means Peace.
what does the lofty figure of Queen
Louise teach us?" he asked. 1T teach
es us that we men should cultivate all
the military virtues and always be
willing to use them in defense of the
country. Above all else it teaches US
to maintain the equipment of our
army, in view of the enormous strides
made by our neighbors, for only on be-
Flng prepared TOT war uOeS our peace
depend"
In the course of his speech the en-
peror referred to Emperor William /,
of Germany in terms indicating the
identity of his convictions with those
of his grandfather
my grandfather" he said, again
by his own right hand placed the Prus-
sian crown upon his head and again
proclaimed it to be bestowed upon him
by Gods grace alone, and not by par
liaments, assemblages of the people or
resolutions of the people, and that he
saw in himself the chosen instrument
of heaven and as such he regarded
his duty as regent and ruler"

PUTS ALLIGAT0RS TO SLEEP
Man Declares He Has Peculiar Power
Over saurians, and Apparently
Proves Il.

Bert Swan is the name of a man
VINO can catch alligators with his
hands, turn them on their backs and
make them as helpless as infants. The
alligators Swan handles are not the
giants that bask In the mud of trop-
ical rivers. but they are sufficiently
formidable nevertheless.
It is wonderful with what quickness
these saurians can snap at a man
Swan gave a little session with his
pets for the benefit of a correspond
ent OF st Nicholas and this quickness
of action on the part of the ? gators
was fully demonstrated before the
little private performance ended.
The first task was to get the alliga-
tor into the open where the light was
sufficiently good to permit Of snap
shots This was done by two men
grasping the alligator. one seizing his
Jaws with a lightning movement and
the other grabbing his wildly waving
tail.
In the open the alligator proved as
wicked as could have been wished.
Swans method OF catching him WAS to

per and lower jaws. As this was done
while the formidable rows OF teeth
were apparently aching for q chance
to snap the mans arm. II was no
simple matter to catch the jaws and
fmprison them.
Swan waited . long time before he
saw his chance and the eye could
scarcely follow the movement of his
hands a. they were darted toward the
outstretched jaws. Once the jaws
were closed in the mans vise-like grip
Il was . simple matter to slip one
hand under the snout. seize one OF the
clawing legs with the other and turn
the alligator on his back
The owner OF the alligator says be

lures Be that as II may. It is true
that he made the wicked little sauriar
lie perfectly still for as long a time a,
he wished and then raised him in his
arms and carried him around like q

sound asleep all the time. wher
Swan put him down and touched hi,

This is no doubt essentially
true. Men of the kind indicated
by him find the opportunity wait

the stuff that is in them. But,
naturally enough. Mr.. Hill looks
at the subject from the point OF
view of the supernormal man. He
is an individualist of an extreme
type, a titan among humans. Men
in the mass do not interest him
half so much as the one that has
in him the qualities that lift him
out of the ruck. The force OF
what he says may be admitted
without concealing that economic
conditions are all they ought to
be. The individuals that get ahead
by sheer force of character are
all right. But there is another

A Cure Fer AlkaIi


Almost all soils contain more or
less alkali. Whenever the soil
strata is such that there is no
natural underdrainage. and water
applied to the surface gener-
ally collects in the basin, the sur
face of the underground water
gradually raises and when it gets
nearthe surface, excessive evap-
oration occurs and as the mois-
ture passes away as pure water
the salts contained in the water
are lett at the surface of the
ground In due time the soil in
Colorado takes on a white ap-
pearence and vegetation suffers.
Naturally, the cure for this con
ditlon is to lower the water table.
and if there is no natural drain
age, this must be done by arti-
fetal drainage. Anything that
will provide a channel through
which the underground water
may get away will answer the
purpose. Brush. boulders, flag
stones, tile and lumber have been
successfully used.
In many cases tile have proved
t. be unsatisfactory. Both ce-
ment tile and some burned clay
tile have shown the effect of al

The open-bottomed wooden

where these have been in service
