Around the City.

Mysterious happenings are going on up
Capitol Hill way. Brother Cockney
would call them 'arrowing.
On every tranquil. tree-shaded street
white sign stares up from the bricks.
The white is chalk, and the sign is an
arrow. always pointed ahead A white
arrow is not SO fiesh-creeping as a black
hand, of course, but it has it's thrilling
capacities If one undertakes to figure
out the disasters that arrows stood for
in the good old times, with Indians as
a blood -curdling instance. And there are
many savage redskins on Capitol Hill.
Fenimore Cooper might not be able to
place them, for the tribe is small of
stature and often tow-haired and blue
eyed, and, besides, Fenimore didn't
know everything.
A woman was walking alone-quite
alone-alcng an ostensibly safe and sure
street that SO far, had escaped the sign
of the arrow. when she heard behind her
a whirr-like rush. and 10
Two tots, boy and girl, winged by,
both swooping down as they flew to chalk
arrows on the bricks. Then the woman
knew exactly what had happened. The
tots were pioneers-husband and wife, of

expecting to see-naturally-a burning
cabin, with savages dancing ragtime
around the flames precisely as they do
in moving pictures. But she was mis-
taken, which, incidentally, is sort #
habit with her. There wasn't an Indian
in sight. nor SO much as sniff of
smoke. but
From around the corner below rushed
flock of fieet-footed creatures, who
crouched for an instant to study the
pavement, and then came tearing along
in pursuit of the fugitives. A mere
grown person would have supposed them
to be so many children racing their legs
off, but they were not children. For

maelstrom of motion. asked to know

DECLARES THEY WILL GET IT

CHICAGO. September 23.-The Wom-
ans World for October prints the
following interview with President
Taft by James Hay, jr, in which the
President advocates suffrage for
women:
Il want the women of the country to
have the full and unqualified right of
suffrage as sooV as they all want ii.
When I was sixteen years old I wrote
a graduating essay entitled Woman Suf-
frage. and in that boyish article l was a
strong advocate of women exercising the
suffrage. My father was a woman suf-
fragist. ! make no secret OF the fact that

woman suffrage has not been a failure
believe 1t has not made any substantial
difference in politics. and this is possible
perhaps because its adoption and it's re-
suits have been tested only In those
states where the population is sparse and
where the problem OF intrustng the priv
ilege and the power TO women in the con-
centrated population of great cities Is not
presented.
Amy class seeking the right Of suffrage
should seek il as whole and should
create the belief that il will exercise as

upon it, If il does not care enough about
suffrage for the whole class to exercise

Will Get It When They Want It.

las l have often said. the women will
get. the right of suffrage when they want
1t. and nothing on earth will prevent
them from getting it when they really
want il. But, aside from the actual vot-
ing power. the political influence of the
women of this country is something ire
mendous. almost incalculahle We know
that women. by their influence on their
HUSBANDS, determine how many of the
votes are cast every election day. And
tnere is no way of definitely estimating
the tremendous influence Of the woman
who trains her boys to take 4 healthy
view OF political questions and to study
an the issues which may come up to in
nuence the county, state or nation.
IS OFTEN said that women workers
are underpaid. and that. therefore. they
do not have fair show. This. believe.
Is somewhat true today, but il is on the
mend. Take the case of the women who
are school teachers. There is no higher
profession than that of teaching. If a
man or woman finds himself or herself
specially adapted to it. he or she should
never leave 1t. 1t is the profession that
calls for possibly the greatest self-sacri-
nee, and ii is the work which is the
greatest instrument for the uplifting Of
youth In this way 1t is the ally of the
work that is done by women in the home

And | believe that, as the opportunity
and avenues for the use of those women
VINO wish to work increase, the supply of
teachers will not be so much greater than
the demand. and their salaries will in
crease and their comforts of life will also
increase. How quickly this will be
brought about I do not know, but GER
tainly such is the tendency / hope the
contamination will be as rapid as posi-
Die. Tor II will spread and strengthen the
opinion that women do not have to
marry, and that. as long as they wish to
remain single and to manage their own
lives. they have a right to do so.
In this way l believe we will have
happier homes and far happier wives and
mothers. And, just as happiness in
creases in the home. the beneficent in
fiuence of women will grow to be even
greater than it now is. Ii has been my
observation--and. l may say, my expe-
r1ence-that every home i'm which the
