NOW, when I was sixteen years old.

High School in Cincinnati, I took for my
subject Woman suffrage, and I was as
strong an advocate OF womans suffrage
as any member Of this convention. I had

that time I was orthodox. But in the

The making OF democracy was the
subject OF a brief and forceful address
by Frances Squire Potter. corresponding
secretary Of the national association.
Among other things. she said:
The realization Of a democracy will
mean the universally Of the labor move

the suffrage movement. the irrelevance
or the deepening into politics Of eth
Woman's Club movement, and the doom
Of philanthropy. Il Will mean also the
perfection OF the political settlement. to-

coming to do, understand one another

Now, II il does not care enough for

the wiseacres smiled. He attempted
to saddle his troubles on the various
quarry men but to no purpose.
His other heritage will fall to the
lot of all subsequent paymasters-the
disposition of dilapidated ships of the
navy. At present the department is
up against proposition to dispose OF
the Boston, Detroit and Winslow. Ma
val officers say that they are utterly
worthless for anything except as coal
barges.
In this way, 1t is estimated that
more than 81 ZOO. 900 of hitherto val
liable property will pass out of the
hands of the navy with practically no
return, thereby SCATTERING the hopes

by naval officers that some nearby
fully equipped base Is imperative.
The point Is brought out by GER
tain officers that II 1t is imperative to
add to the protection Of the Canal
zone. the strength of the navy. why
not make q naval base on each side of
the Canal and do away with the num-
Der Of naval bases suggested In South
ern states where they could only be
established through the expenditure
Of large sums of money for harbor i'm
provements? The advocates Of the
other plan advance the reason that
the nearer home a permanent base is
located, the better.
A Combined Board.
Just what disposition of the sub
ject will be made is Of course uncer-
tain at this time. It will in all prob
ability be worked out by a combined
board composed Of army and navy ex-
perts.
During the present difficulties with
Nicaragua, naval expeditions which
have been sent there have generally
been fitted out at Philadelphia thus
extending q trip to Central America
by at least three days. Later vessels
used Panama as a coaling base. Some
vessels have had to make the trip to
Guantanamo where they have been
repaired temporarily under much diff
ficulty. owing to the limited capabil-
tiles Of the station. 1t is pointed out
that at New Orleans or Galveston, a
day and half sail further from San
Juan, Nicaragua. than Santiago. a ves-
sci could be placed in commission
much faster and much more satisfac-
torily.
At all events. the navy department
will endeavor to have some action
looking to the establishment of naval
bases In the South taken at the next
session Of congress, but 1t is said. it
will not ask that any appropriation
be made for extensive work until at
ter a complete board Of army and ma
val experts pass upon the advisable
ity of the scheme.
On the Pacific. the question it is
said has resolved itself into the estab-
lishment OF at least one more yard,
there being naval bases now at Puget
Sound and San Francisco. The third
base Is needed as an auxiliary base in
the event that other yards are too
crowded.
