and thanks to the excellent work of the
police, there were no serious accidents
and there was little or no congestion
of traffic. Cars were delayed only when
absolutely necessary and drivers and
pedestrians in hurry to go about their
business had no complaint to make.
1t must be remembered, too, that
these parades were of all sorts. There
was the big official Memorial Day
parade, the parade Of Uncle Sans let

A surragist Replies.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A telegraphic dispatch in recent
issue of your paper stated that the
-suffragists of New York had, re-
buked the suffragists for planning TO
decorate the graves of those suffragists
who had passed on on Memorial Day,
and demanded what deeds of patriotism
this attention would commemorate.
The person who penned this rebuke
was singularly ignorant of history NO
single factor reused such powerful ana
worldwide sympathy for the Union
cause as "Uncle Toms Cabin" Har-
riet Beecher Stowe was a suffragist.
Abraham Lincoln, commander-fn-chlef
of the Union army during the war, was
the first prominent public man In
America to declare himself for woman
suffrage. He said in one Of his speeches
81 go for all sharing the privileges
of the government who assist in bear
ing its burdens, by no means exclud-
ing women"
The one great, immortal poem of the
Union cause was THE Battle Hymn OF
the Republic" Its author, Julia Ward
Howe. has been a lifelong active suf-
fragist.

America to organize in aid of the sick
and wounded soldiers was held in the

thousand ordinary persons could not

was said they intended to use the
four-toed horse for advertising pur-
poses; that is. they would drive it
up and down Fifth avenue with
signs proclaiming their merits as

This Is unkind and untrue. The

scientist even to drive a four-toed

Poe Portrait for Library.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In your issue of Friday you described
portrait Of Edgar Allan Poe. painted
from life by a Newark artist. 1t seems
too bad that such a treasure, interest
ing to all admirers of the poet. should
remain in private possession. To my
mind It is an opportunity for some rich
man to make the purchase and present
1t to the Free Public Library, where
1t would be most appropriate, not only
because of the subject, but because of
its having been done by Newarker
of note. AS Poe sat for the portrait
and it is faithful one, 1t is Of great
value as matter Of record and It's
logical resting place is undoubtedly the
library. even though the library should
have to make the purchase itself.

to campaign funds.
2. He brought suit against railroad
companies for making fraudulent re-
turns of earnings and recovered 1919,

CAPT. MITCHELL LEWIS IN OUR
CITY,

Captain Mitchell Lewis of Racine
who is a candidate for Governor be-
fore the republican primaries ON Sept
9Th, arrived i'm this city Sunday morn
ing about 10 o'clock from Stevens
Point. He was accompanied by Jas.
D. Lunt of Racine, and Frank Archer
of Mcmillan. He is making his trip
thru the state in a Mitchell car, one
of Mr.. Lewis own manufacture. His
chauffer is in charge of the car and
they make the trip from city to city
with considerable ease and comfort
In this manner Mr.. Lewis has an
opportunity of obtaining an excellent
idea of the condition of our public
highways turnout the state. While
in the city Mr.. Lewis met many re-
publicans with whom he talked over
the general situation politically in our
state. Those who met him were ia
vorably impressed and found him a
pleasant and genial gentleman of good
address with excellent business ideas
If he is chosen and elected governor
of Wisconsin we have every reason
to believe that he will give this state
an excellent business administration
