Wiley Tells Suffragettes

Louisville, Ky, Oct EFF a coun-
try treats women right and eats
more sugar per head and consumes
more soap per head than any other
country, then it is the greatest ma
tion," declared DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief of the governments chemistry
bureau, in his address today to the
National American Woman Suffrage
convention. He had been introduced
by DR. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the association, as the man
who is trying TO give us fair
chance to live" He began by enum-
Grating the things that make for a
country's greatness, narrowing the
test down to the three requisites
named. BY these tokens, he conclud-
ed, America is first
DR. Wiley and Miss Mary Johnston
of Richmond, Va, were among the
speakers at the open meeting held
at local theatre and attended by
over 1000 men, as well as women.
In the light of his opinion OF wom-
ans preparedness for suffrage, DR..
Wiley declared he never had known
of an organized band of women being
on the wrong side.
Women" he said, are a tower OF
strength TO every public man who is
trying to do his duty | don't know
why she has been kept from the
polls. Surely what we need in poll
tics is more ethics rather than more
intellect" He declared he has favor
ed woman suffrage for nearly 2E
years.

err? Don't be bashful, gentlemen,
about asking. You'll never get any
thing in the office line unless you
ask for it," Although we don't pre-
tend to know the answer TO this
unexpected query, we are compelled
to remark that any question in re-
gard to this most important office Is
very inopportune. The finances OF
the State are In safe and competent
hands at the present time and 1t is
generally understood that the pres.

another term. II we are not out OF

call that six years ago Addison

handsome complimentary vote with

When the efficient present State
treasurer decides to retire from the
position, It is safe TO predict that
Mr. Strong will be the logical candi'
date for the Office and he would be
very worthy successor to the pres

Evidently Addison county believes

Extinct, In Lower California
Los Angeles, Cal, Oct, 23-Pingree
|. Osborn, who has been acting as
guide to the expedition of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History OF
New York, returned recently from
Lower California with information OF
the discovery on the island OF Quad
alupe of several herds of sea eleph-
ants of a variety hitherto unknown
except to archaeologists.
ut has long been supposed this
species of sea elephants was extinct
but we not only saw big herds of
them on the island, but shot two,
he said They are enormous AMI
mails and shaggy and apparently
harmless. The largest herd contained
at least fifty animals. The largest
Of the two we shot was twenty-one
feet in length and stood more than
eighteen feet high"
The explorers of the little known
peninsula Of Lower California have
had at their disposal the u. S. S. AL
batross with which to examine the
coast line and adjacent islands. The
exploration has already covered o
period OF six months and the Alba
tross, which has gone to San Francis
/ co to dispose OF its cargo, is lader
with the bones and skins Of many
hitherto unknown animals.

The SUGAR MYSTERY
High Price and Scarcity Of the Com.

modify Does not Affect Dundee
London, Oct. 2S.-While writers
on economics are blaming the Brus-
sells Convention for last summers
drought for the high price of sugar
and the growing scarcity of that COM
modify, the people OF Dundee are
concerned with neither question for
sugar there is still doled out by
the retailers at I'd per pound.
Therein lies a mystery which the
sugar brokers of Mincing Lane have
not been able to fathom, although
there are dark rumors of a reserve
crop from the British West Indies,
which by some accident had been
placed upon the Dundee market.
AS to the general shortage, 1t is
also pointed out that it can in no
wise be accounted for by the poor
beet root harvest since a large cane
crop more than made up for that de-
ficiency. AS to the Brussels conven.
ton being blamed, the Mincing Lane
brokers declare that the economists
do not know what they are talking
about. Indeed" said a prominent
broker, IF it were not for the Brus
sells convention | do not know where
we should be today Whatever eff
feet that arrangement might have or.
iginally created in the direction Of
hardening prices, had, 1t was pointed
out, long ago expended itself. At
the present juncture its influence is
purely beneficent. There is no ques-
ton that but for it the West Indian
cane industry would nave gone by
now.
They could not have lasted more
than year or two longer, and then
in a crisis like this we should have
been at the mercy absolutely of the
continent. AS it is, the cane crop will
be good, and what with the check
that high prices invariably give to
consumption the market may not go
: SO very much higher after all"

When the Senate gets through in
the election of Senator
Lorimer and Senator Stephenson It
should turn its attention to Senator
Percy Of Mississippi whose election
was even more scandalous than that
of the others though it is noticed
that our Democratic friends do not
talk so much about 1t because it was
in the heart of their camp. Lori
mers election appears to have been
bought with money and Stephen
sons with beer but In Perceys case
the evidence shows that not only
were money and liquors used but al
so attractive women of bad character
and that the governor of the state
helped to debauch the election.
When you hear a Republican, a Dem
ocrat, a Socialist, Prohibltionist, or
member of any other party or fac
ton claiming only virtue In his or
ganlzation and accusing others of be-
ing corrupt and dishonest, set him
down at once as humbug and
charlatan If not a wilful liar. The
best men OF all parties are trying
honestly and sincerely to help along
the progress of the human race The
base elements in all parties are seek
ing selfish personal advantage. The
decent are very largely in the ma
jority in all parties. but the base are
more active and aggressive.
