Roosevelt Speaks For
Reciprocity In Cd. Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Feb. l3.-
IsFeatured by the presence OF Col
Roosevelt. the annual banquet Of the
Lincoln club, Saturday evening, was
the most successful and brilliant In
the history Of that organization. Sen
ator william Alden Smith was toast
master.
As the colonel rose to speak every
one OF the 1000 banqueters rose to
his feet and cheered him for several
minutes. In response to the toast
Lincoln and Progressive Republican
ism," Roosevelt said, in part:
THE Republican part ymust be pro
gresstve, otherwise II has no warrant
for existence ut all. II must show
that 1t Is the heir of Abraham Lin
coin. But 1t is equally essential to
remember Abraham Lincoln's cool and
temperate wisdom and his fiery zeal
for righteousness. There can be no
real progress unless 1t Is wise pro
gress."
The interesting paragraphs OF Col
Roosevelt's address, are as follows:
I'VE do not wish to affront the
memory Of the makers. but to apply
the principles OF the constitution TO
the conditions of today"
"The constitution is not straight
jacket to prevent growth. but it is
guide to growth.
Nobody can foretell the conditions
that will prevail a century from to-
day. Neither could the constitution
makers"
1T isn't disloyal to the mighty men
of the past to try to make their prin-
ciples apply to the conditions OF to-
day"
"The federal control over the SEN
ate would not be lessened by direct
election. The senator when elected 70

Passenger Engine Jumps Track.

MT. CLEMENS, Micl., Feb. 13.-
Passengers on Grand Trunk train,
No. s, north bound from Chicago to
Port Huron. were frightened and
shaken up at midnight Saturday,
when the engine left the rails while
rounding a curve near Lenox. The
train left Detroit an hour late and was
running at a rapid rate of speed to
make up time. Many of the passen-
gers were occupying sleeping apart
ments. Traffic was delayed several
hours the track being badly torn up.
None of the coaches left the rails,
thereby averting what might have
been q serious accident. This is the
second wreck that has occurred on
the same curve within the past few
weeks.

WOMEN S INERTIA
MUCH TO BLAME
Should Work Harder To Secure the
Ballot, Prof. Zueblin Tells
Them in Lecture.

Prof. Charles Zueblin, OF Columbia
university, entertained with a pleas
ing discourse on equal suffrage in the
Church of Our Father, Saturday night.
The professor Is large man with
large ideas about the ballot and wo-
mems relation to IL. He fits nicely
into dress suit and has a rapid tire
style OF delivering an array OF con-
crete ideas anent his subject.
Quite an assemblage Of Detroit wo-
men gathered In the auditorium OF the
church. They were accompanied by a
sprinkling OF mild-mannered males
who applauded amiably and judicially
The servant ought to be prime
favorite with the fair sex, not alone
because of his own personal attrac,
tons, but because he has q gracious
way OF saying nice things about his
women auditors.
At the same time, Prof. Zueblin
cannot be accused of being too soft.
spoken. He is not afraid TO tell wo-
men OF their faults and u mere man,
even though he champions the cause
OF the suffragists. requires some cour.
age to do that. II initiates much in
his favor.
For instance, he dwells at length
upon the inertia OF women, pleas
ing expression that, and one constant
ly employed by Prof. Zueblin. To that
same inertia. he ascribes much OF the
failure of the suffragist movement
hereabout. II women took more inter
est, they could accomplish more, he
argues.
squirming among the scores OF wo-
men present, but the professor was
merciless and insisted that the wo-
men Of Detroit work harder and more
persistently for reimbursement
Prof Zueblin also had some wither-
ing comments to make concerning
men and the ballot. The right of
men TO the ballot to the exclusion or
women be referred to as the "mascu-
line superstition" handed down
the generations.
The denial of suffrage to the dis
enfranchised Is q sort OF habit any
way, according to the Zueblin idea.
He points out that the movement for
universal suffrage Is modern and
comes primarily from the industrial
revolution In England.
The extension OF suffrage to wo-
men Is being met BY antiquated
IDEAS" he says. Meanwhile women
have been receiving a preparation
such as no unenfranchised class has
previously had. Their contributions
to municipal housekeeping would
make the experienced Tammany or
rings blush. had they
still the capacity.
Whether on the basis of Industrial,
intellectual or political experience,
the voter has no more ground today
to deny the vote to the non-voter,
than he has ha din all the historic
period when privilege has taken ad-
of the unpriyileged."

To RECOVER
THE LAND

For some reason, which is not dis
closed in the complaint, c. Sullivan,
after he had completed making pay

acres of school land, which he had
bought from the state, directed the
board to make out the deed to H.

According to the complaint, John

to a contract with Sullivan to the Of
feet that II he would pay the bal
ance that he should be given half

payment Sullivan directed the board
to make out the deed to the name
of H. Trinwith, but with instructions
that it should not be sent to him,
but to Sullivan. Sullivan retained
possession of the deed until he died,
but, subsequent to his death, 1t is

Intruder Eenters Central Distillery

That Cairo is not as bad place
as has been claimed by some, was
again evidenced early Saturday
morning when some one entered the
Central Distillery Co., at 415-17 Ohio
street, went through the building,
possibly with view Of "learnins
the trade" and left through the back
door without taking anything or
disturbing in the least the con-
tents of the building.
Police Officers Higlin and Sleeves
found the doors open and rushed
into the building finding the
door unlocked, making a thor
ough search, as only the levee
beat officers can, but no intruder
could be found about the premises.
The officers telephoned Manager
Frost of the distillery and routed him
from his apartments at the Wenger.
who was at his office in few
minutes and was satisfied nothing
was missing. He made another
search yesterday but reported to
Chief Egan that nothing had been
stolen.
The would-be robber evidently
left by the back door, for it was
found unlocked with the eaten
thrown.
