question of the need of women's vote to help settle many of the problems that press for solution. Such. for instance. as The protection of the home the housa keeping of cities and towns. the secu rity Of labor the treatment of delin- quent children and many others. The labor unions understand this, and they strongly favor equal suffrage
 The question has come to the place Of the duty of women to vote.
 pr. Wiley says the women of tha country deserve the credit for the pas sage or the pure food and drug laws
 In Colorado, where women vote Judge Lindsey tells us how when both political parties had turned him down It was the vote of the women that came to his rescue and made 1t nos sible for him to remain as judge of the JuVehiie court and do his work of child saving.
 The women of Seattle used their first vote to depose a mayor who traffick ed in vice.
 In Norway, Sweden. Australia. New Zaland. as well as in Colorado. Utah. Nevada. Wyoming and Washington. when there is some large moral issue at stake the women throng the polJs and invariab bly, vote for the right.
 Sometimes one may judge of tba need of reform by the character of its opponents.
 The bitterest opponents of equal suf frage are the machine politicians and those who make a business of pander- ing to vice.
 They know what 1t means
 The women of our generation are as well educated as the men, if not bet ter educated. The boys of today large ly quit the high school to go into busi- ness, while the girls graduate, and many of them go through College.
 It Is the women who furnish the mor- al fiber of the nation. It is they who through the churches organize philan- thropies, supervise charities and do the work of reform.
 If they can do so much in the states where they are hampered by their in- ability to help make the laws. how much more they could do if they had the ballot to back up their demands!
 And O timorous man, you need not lear that your wife or mother or sister will do anything unwomanly or be o,, the wrong side at the polls.

Our Greatest Danger

Mrs. T. J. Bowlker, Sister Of President Lowell. of Harvard, in Leslies.
 Do women realize that the greatest danger which threatens our modern
 civilization today is the fear that homes may cease to exist in the world? In old times each family owned lts l,ome, and the woman could make or her household home if she chose, She cid much work for her family but she did it nt home; but today the con citions have changed. The growth or modern industry has taken the work cut of the home and with the work 1t has taken the worker. The poor can not afford to have homes; they have ,nly a tenement, crowded and over crowded. But it is not only the poor who have lost all sense of home; even the well-to-do are out for amusement

Prospectors Stampede for New
Diggings in Yukon Territory
Where yellow Metal Appears
Plentiful.
rBy Morning Journal Special Lensed wire.1

Skagway, Alaska, Aug. 23.-Colonel
Conrad of Caricros, who arrived from
Caribou crossing last night. reported
a great placer gold strike on in Nc
Clintock creek. which enters March
lake, about ten miles from Tagishpost,
Yukon territory. A stampede has
started for the new gold field and the
town of Carisros is deserted. Great
excitement prevails in the surround
ing towns and all boats are crowded
with prospectors. Those unable to get
aboard the steamers are "hushing"
overland.
shorty Austin and Reid Good
were on the creek and found a lone
prospector at work. He had a hole
10 feet deep. and although he had
not reached bedrock, had found good
pay. The ground was not frozen and
the gold, which was coarse, appeared
to be plentiful.
Austin and Good staked claims and
then hurried to Caricross with news
of the strike. Skagway caught the ex-
element today and this morning s
train over the White Pass was crowd
ed with gold seekers.
McClintock Creek is twenty miles
long and has a good country back Of
1t. Early in the eighties when Chill
coot Jack" Benson took some pros
pectors to this creek and told them
there was gold there, but the pros
pectors would not heed him and
passed on to Hootalinqua, where bar
diggings were easy.

New York, Aug. 23.-"I come with
a message to the democracy of the
country. We have kept our pledges;
we have obeyed the will of our con-
stituency.' Such was the declaration
of Oscar W. Underwood chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
house of representatives., at the ban
quet given by the National Italian
Democratic league here tonight. Mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee were guests of honor and Mr.. I'm

dress.
'"The president signed a tariff b|ll, ="
Mr.. Underwood declared Praised 1t
as the best tariff ever. but hardly

and begging on bended knee for a

I'VE have presented to the presi.
dent Of the United States" he said,
five great bills expressing our Views
interests of the American people. and
they would be a law today if they had
not met his veto.
THE president of the United States
without authority, without knowledge
of any one, negotiated a contract with
a foreign nation. He negotiated q
reciprocal with the dominion of
Canada. My friends, we have present
ed to him the important schedules of
the tariff bill; the wool bill, the cot
ton, the iron and steel, the chemical
and this free list bill, and there are
other schedules of importance, but he
has vetoed every bill that We have
sent him.
I'VE have temporarily closed our
books. We do not propose unduly to
agitate business in this country We
wait with patience for the presidents
message next December. The presi-
dent of the United States has failed
to keep the promises of the republican
party to revise the tariff downward
and through the Payne-Aldrich bill he
failed to keep the presidents pledge
to the people.
lie vetoed the bills we need for the
relief of the people of the United
States, and | say to you candidly, my
friends, that we do not propose to
this great issue. If the
president is willing to give honest, fair
and just relief to the American peo-
pie, the democratic congress is willing
to uphold his hands as we did in the
instance of the reciprocity pact. But
If we are to be told to pass restrictive,
prohibitive' tariff bills that are only
a makeshift and not a revision down
ward we will carry this great question
to the American people and confident
ly await their verdict at the next gen.

rBy Morning journal Special LEASED wire.1

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 23.-An answer
was filed today by Harry X. Thaw,
through his attorney, former Cover
nor stone, to the petition of his wife
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which Judge
David was asked to appoint a lunacy
commission to take charge of the in
come of Thaw in this state and to
provide for the support of his wife
Thaw's income is said to be 100000 a
year.
Thaw says that the verdict of the
jury In New York state was not a
finding that he was insane, and that
the decree confining him in Mattewan
was statutory and not a proceeding as
to lunacy. He contends that the fact
that he is still confined in the Matte
wan hospital under the order of the
court does not judicially or in any
way establish his present insanity.
In the second part of the answer
Thaw states:
Your affiant is not at present in
sane. He is quite capable of attending
to his own affairs and does attend tc
his affairs He transacts his owr
business. If there was ever any de-
rangement mentally the affiant has
entirely recovered from it and is now
in the possession of all his menta
facltes."

ARMY NEEDS MORE
FIELD ARTILLERY

Washington, Aug. 23.-The esti-
mates for the army for the next fis-
cal year it was announced today,
would be in the aggregate about the
same as the amount appropriated by
congress for the military establish
ment during the current year, which
was $94,210,400.
The only item of increase win be
for field artillery and ammunition.
Officers of the army contend there
is a sorry lack of field artillery, In
this connection, General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, said in his last
annual report.
THE existing deficiency In the field
artillery constitutes one of the great
menaces to our country In case OF
war. If the regular army and or
ganized militia at war strength
were called to arms today there would
be shortage of over so per cent In
the field artillery necessary to equip
them. As this force would only rep
resent a portion Of the force called
TO arms In case Of war with a first
class power, the gravity of the sltua-
ton becomes at once apparent"

Washington, Aug, aS.-The demo-
Gratis. the progressive republicans and
the regular republicans win have their
own programs for tariff revision
when congress reconvenes in Decem-
ber This was made clear today.
All three elements IN the senate viii
be engaged In a great battle on the
general subjects of revision. The trend
Of the fight will depend largely upon
the report of the teriff board and the
recommendations of the president IN
connection with that report,
The regular republicans do not am
ticipate much actual tariff revision at
the coming session because of the wide
divergence of opinion in the senate.
They contend that failure Is likely to
follow attempts to bring together the
regular and progressive republicans or
the latter and the democrats.
Neither the democrats nor the pro-
gressive republicans whose alliance
swept revision legislation through the
broken on the cotton bill, are willing
to predict renewal Of that alliance
in December.
Senator Martin of Virginia, demo-
cratic leader of the senate, said to-
day that II the presidents recommen-
dation should be for larger reduction
and many regular standpat republi-
cans failed to support the recommen-
dations the situation would tend to
line up the democrats and republican
insurgents.
The regular republicans have ex-
ressed the fear that the tariff boards
recommendation may be too radical
for their acceptance They contend
that most of the measures resulting
from progressive republican and
democratic alliance are likely to fail
in conference on the ground that the
democrats desire to fight the next ma
tional campaign on the Payne Aldrich
tariff law.
The regulars also depend on the
presidents veto to put quletus on any
measure that would be satisfactory to
democrats and insurgents.

myself unable 10 follow the force Of
such an argument The difficulties
connected with the initiation Of pro-
eeeding under any treaty. and the
appointment of six commissioners
with the expense and worry attendant
upon it. are all likely 70 prevent an
invitation to a cumbersome negotia-
tion like this when the ordinary chan
nels of diplomacy are open.
objection has been made TO this
treaty that under the first section it
might be claimed that We would be
called upon TO submit To arbitration
the Monroe Doctrine, our right to ex-
olude foreign peoples from our shores
or the question OF the validity of the
southern bonds issued in reconstruc-
ton days. These suggestions have
nothing in them. The question of the
Monroe policy is not a justifiable one
1t is one of purely governmental pol
icy which we have followed for a CEN
tury. and which the countries of Eur
ope have generally acquiesced in.
Certainly, with respect to this very
matter Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, has announced publicly that the
Monroe policy could not be disputed
by Great Britain under this treaty and
would not come within its terms.
With respect TO the exclusion of
immigrants, it is principle of law
that each country may allow those to
come to its shores. whom it chooses
to have admitted to the country and
may reject others, and that this is a
subject Of domestic policy which no
foreign court can interfere in, unless
it is covered by treaty, and then it
may become properly a question of
treaty construction. But, in the alb
sence of a treaty, it is not an arbi-
trabe question.
with reference to the right to in
volye the United States in eontrov-
ersy over the obligation Of certain
southern states to pay bonds issued
during the reconstruction period, and
which have been repudiated, it is suf-
ficient to say that such a question
would not come within the treaty, for
the treaty only affects cases hereaf-
ter arising, and the cases of the south
ern bonds all arose years ago"
