PARIS, Sept. 25-(Special Cablegram.)-
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich talked freely
OF the political situation in the United

route to southern Italy.

his opinion on the strength shown by the
insurgents in the recent primaries.
you are more of business politician
than a practical politician" 1t was sug-
gested and he replied:
1T is strange isn't IT, that there is
only one popular conception of a patriot
and a man who loves his country and is
useful to 1t? What of the men who en-
large their country's commerce, who make
prosperous cities grow, making for
progress. wealth and all the benefactions
of industry where poverty stricken viii
lagos were before? CannU, men who in
vest. who give brain and care to progress
and development of the city that makes
the state or states that make tile nation
be as loyal and as patriotic and as great
in their nation and as interested in it's
real and substantial welfare as the veriest
demagogue that ever ranted in public or
in print?'
Cost of Living Worldwide.
When asked about the cost OF living in
its relation to the tariff, Mr. AIdrich said
That has been answered often. In
creased cost of living is not a problem
peculiar to the United States alone 1t
is world wide, and is being agitated in
Germany. France and England. 1t is
doubtless due to the fact that everybody
desires to have better food and clothes
and other things than what formerly con-
tented the various classes.
Goods sold cheaper abroad than at
home has caused the question In all COIN
tries. 1t is due to the fact that al manu-
facturers in all countries would rather sell
| cheaper abroad upon occasions than to ac-
cuniulate stock at homo and have to smut
down their plants.
Germans complain of German goods
sold cheaper in Rio Janeiro than in Ber-
| lin. and the French, of silks sold cheaper
in Algiers than in Lyons, where they are
woven.
The fact Is simple anu plain that under
protective tariff the United States has
become great, powerful and prosperous
l hold no brief for anything or anybody
except that fact and that is all 1 care tc
say"

Mrs. Shepherd is
Determined Upon
Her Right to Vote
Question of Suffrage May Rend
the Hollywood Episcopal
Church.

NEW YORK. Sept S-(Special Tele-
sram.)-Holyrood Episcopal church Is
badly rent by the demand Of the women OF
the congregation for equal suffrage in the
parish, and by the refusal Of the rector to
give them either votes or a voice in the
government OF the church.
For months Mrs. f. Shepherd promi-
nent member Of the flock, has been argu-
ing that since the women are really more
closely allied to the church work OF tn .
parish than the men, they should be given
a vote not only in the selection of pastors.
but in the expenditure Of funds
Rev. Stuart Crockett, the rector, differs
with Mrs. Shepherd, contending the church
should be run by men as 1t always has
been, and despite the efforts Of the women
under Mrs. Shepherd, he has been able to
oust the old officers and place in office
wardens and vestrymen who are all anti
suffragists and are expected to turn down
every proposition that even looks like
votes for women
In consequence, II is said, the trouble
has come to the unfortunate point where
many parishioners, once the best of friends.
are now very cool when they pass each
other on the street.
Meanwhile Mrs. Shepherd has by no
means given up the fight She claims a
majority of the wives and daughters of the
parish are behind her, and she is so deter
mined to win votes for women" at Holy
rood that even the peacemaker whom
Bishop Greer sent up there in the person
of Archdeacon Nelson has been so far un-
able to set the matter right.
Mrs. Shepherd says nothing will settle 1t
but victory for her side.
Rector Crockett, content in his present
victory, has nothing to say at all.
