CHICAGO, May 37.The Pittsburs
Steamship com pany. better known
as the steel trust fleet, has dispensed
with cash paymen Of wages on its
steamers and now uses checks. The
change was made on account OF the

The purpose lis to make it difficult
for the strikebreakers to secure cash,
It having been found that as soon as
most of them get a trips wages they
very promptly leave the ships. =.
The company evidently figures
that without. cash and. in a strange
port the men will hesitate to QUIT,
except during banking hours, and
that they can be prevented from that
by withholding: the checks. until after
hours. %~.A:s<

BISMARCK SAID WOMEN

Some interesting observations of
Prince Bismarck on female suffrage
have just come to light. They were
made by the Iron Chancellor to a,
young: woman who preached the SUBJ
ject to him at a watering place short.
ly after his dismissal, and were to the.
following effect: :
What I am. have become through;
my wife. I respect every woman who
elevates us. men, teaches us religion
and morality, upholds our ideals. for:
us and weaves roses of heaven into
our: earthly life: It was my desire to
draw women into politics, but we
are not ripe for that yet; we are still
only I'M the schoolroom. Our Queen
Louisa was a politician, but one with
pure heart. She wished to make
her fatherland great, rich and pow
erful. No one on earth have I rever-
enced " more. In 4: her salon she
brought together the wise and noble
spirits Of all nations. e II only the
cultured women of our aristocracy
would be politicians OF that kind!
They SHOULD not trespass upon mans
preserves. but influence him, moder-
ate him and lead him to good. Form

salona, but they were In many cases
women who were not good and pure
and who also pursued selfish aims,
don't want women OF that kind, but
only those with pure hearts. ~.

THE SENATORSHTP

Judge Thornton of Rapides has been
elected to the Senate of the United
States
His choice was dictated by Governor
Sanders, who dominated the majority
of the Legislature
Personally, no objection could be
urged against Judge Thornton. Indeed
he Is a very amiable gentleman, but he
is not of the ca1ibre to fit the seat vacat-
ed by the death OF Senator McEnery
except as a protectionist
With al due regard to the memory Of
Senator McEnery, it may be said tina
he was rated as a good Republican by
Abdrich whenever a tariff Issue was in
WelVed affecting sugar, rice and lumber
and a Democrats vote was needed tt
strengthen the grip of the trusts and
combines at the throat of the people.
AS to Judge Thornton, will he pirate
of his Democracy, and as McEnerJ
align himself with the Republicans tc
protect the special interests?
Had he proclaimed boldly his opposi-
ton to the special interests, and had he
declared himself to be a Democrat
standing uncompromisingly on the plat
form of the party, would he have re
ceived the votes of the members of the
General Assembly from the sugar ant
rice district? Would the lumber inter
ests have voted for him?
Without those votes Judge Thornton
could not have been elected to the Unit
ed States Senate.
Judge Thornton is indebted for his
success first and foremost to Sanders
dictation TO the majority of the General
Assembly, and to the special interests
who stand hand in glove with the pres
ent Governor of Louisiana
Fortunately, with this contention over
the senatorship there is visible the end
of the one-man power.

for the Senate in 1912. He showed that
he was with the people for better gov
eminent and that he had the courage to
stand with them in their demand to be
heard. And he also showed that he was
"a Democrat, one that had stood with his
party, varying only when otherwise in
structed by his constituents, and he
made friends out of the North Louis
lana contingent who &ere fighting for
their rights
Of course Judge Thornton will be
elected today, elected before this ever
reaches you, and that he will do the best
he can, handicapped by the method Of
his election as he is or will be, but he
will be but passing senator who will
disappear when the GoverndD concludes
to take the place himself
Can the Governor take it?
His friends and foes last night de-
clared that he had come out of the fight
with SO many scars, with so many
wounds, that he would not be able tt
stem the storm of public indignation
which is sure to sweep the State.
