New York, Mirch S.-Have the
suffragists and suffragets any other
plank In their political platform be-
sides that of equal franchise regard
less OF sex?
Or. Anna Howard Shaw, president
OF the National woman suffrage as
ISOLATION, says they have. And fur-
Their, that women are fully as progress
sive, politically, as the men insurgents
are. She gives some OF these platform
planks thus:
Reciprocity with Canada.
Popular election of senators.
Tariff revision downwards.
A national child-labor law.
A law regulating ne hours OF labor
for women.
A universal marriage law.
Economy in naval and military ex-
penditures.
Reformed civil service reform.
Absolute voidity for elections where
corruption was proved.
All bills for the national good; none
that would benefit a state, district or
individual at the expense OF others.
1T seems to me- said DR.. Shaw,
that the great trouble with our SEN
ators and representatives is that they
are too local In their interests. They
are the lobbyists of small group OF
their constituents instead Of working
for the welfare of all the people in the
land.
They should refuse to waste their
time and our money pushing through
gift legislation for the benefit Of Ger.
tain classes.

The child labor question Is the
most important one before the coun-
try today. The future OF the entire
country Is bound up In the proper
regulation OF the work done by women
and children.
Uniform divorce laws are neces-
sary. Also. there should be a uni

marriages between people under
eighteen and requiring proof as TO

Why Wall.St. Has Keen
Interest In Mexico Affair

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-The
reason for Waists interest in Meu-
can Affairs is to be found in the gigan-
tic investments in that republic made
by American interests. The total OF
American capital In Mexico, accord
ing to estimates OF consular officials
is nearly ,500.000,000. This vast
sum is invested largely in properties
gained through concessions from
Diaz.
The Morgan-Guggenheim Syndi-
cate, for instance, controls the enor-
nous copper output Of Mexico.
The Continental Rubber Co., which
Is afiliated with the Standard OIL Co.
and which controls Is per cent OF the
worlds output OF rubber, dominates
that industry in Mexico. II has con-
cessions for rubber lands In pracu-
cally all the Mexican states.
The waters-P Pierce Oil Goa Stan
dard Oil corporation-has a monopoly
of the retail oil business. IL Is est
mated that IL sells nine-tenths OF all
The Hartman interests own or
GOntfuil three-fourths OF the railway
lines IN the country.
T. The sugar trust has exclusive beet
sugar concessions from every state
and territory In Mexico. 1t pays no

dominates the industry.

without serious competition on all
railway hines.

said that the contract provided for an
initial payment of $4,000 cash and

Cartier admitted that the gem was

government hopes that this will so

THE CHILDRENS HOUR.
LEGEND OF THE ROSE.

In Catholic times in England, as
elsewhere, the rose was among the
many flowers dedicated to the Blessed
Virgin Mary, mystic Rose of the
World, the inspirer of heavenly love,
in whose honor the Rosary was SO
named But it is also especially as
death crowned by angel hands with
roses white and red; and with ST..
Dorothy, who, according to the we'll
known legend, after her martyrdOm
sent her heather bridegroom roses
gathered in Paradise, whereby he was
converted and gladly followed in her
footsteps. Roses belong, too, to St.
Mary Madgalene.
The legends of the rose are many.
Sir John de Vaudeville, in his "Trav-
els" tells the origin of roses, how a
maiden of Bethlehem, about to suffer
at the stake under a false accusation,
prayed that if it were the will of
Heaven her innocence might be made
manifest. Lo! even as the torch was
set to the fagots the dry wood burst
into blossom, glowing crimson where
a light, while snowy petals yelling her
proclaimed her purity to her con-
founded judges. And these were the
first. roses seen by man on earth
since the loss of Paradise.
Very quaint, too, is the legend &C
counting for the moss rose. 1t befell
one noontide that the angel whose task
it was to tend the flowers wearied
with his labors, fell asleep beneath a
rose bush, and, awakening, refreshed
by the odor it shed, he babe it ask in
return what boon it would. "Give
me-" besought the tree, "some further
charm" and the angel STOPPING, gath.
cred some of the lowly moss on which
he had reclined. Behold" said he, "it
to thy beauty thou add humility, then
shalt thou be indeed the fairest OF
! flowers and their queen"

WORKING UP.

A lecturer in Boston spoke on bust
ness opportunities for boys. He said
there was marked decline of avail
able young men today compared with
those of fifty years ago, when there
were not so many wealthy fathers for
boys to depend upon. The virtue of
self-reliance was forced upon the boys
then. They had to look out for them
selves, and so were not quite so
squeamish in their choice of work
Here is the way the lecturer described
the boys of those days:
mine out of ten boys looking for an
occupation went in to apply with a
look on their faces which to the EN-.
ployer meant something like this: I
can lift any box any other boy can
lift, and you can't scare me with your
four in the morning till seven at night.
I've come for the job and I want it.
AS for wages at the start, you look
like fair man; I'll leave that to
you"
And that is about the way most of
the successful men of today began life
with determined purpose to do
something, even if the task was hum.
BILE, and better if it was, for it gave
them truer idea of the value OF
money and afforded them a chance to
work upward.

THE TRUTH BEFORE THE PRIZE.

I have read about boy who lost
prize in school by choosing the truth;
but it was prize nobly lost. His op-
portunities to learn had been fewer
than those Of some of the other boys,
and he knew he could not hope to
win a. prize unless it were for writing.
So Willie tried with all his might to
get the special prize for that. When
the distribution day came, the chair
man said, as he held up two copy
books: 'It would be hard to say
which of these two books is the best;
but for one copy in Willie's book,
which is superior to every other, and
also better than any copy in the other
book, Willie therefore gains the
prize"
please, sir, may I see that copy?"
said Willie, with hope and fear in his
heart. Then, as he glanced at the
page and handed the book back, he
said: please, sir, that is not my
copy. 1t was written. by an upper
class boy, who took my book by mis-
take one day."
Willie lost the prize, and some Of
the lads laughed at him, but the brave
boy said: II have chosen the truth
rather than gain a prize Wrongfully,
for the truth is better than gold"

HOW TO BE USEFUL.

Almost every little boy and girl
would like to be of some use in this
world, but sometimes it is hard to
know what to do in order to be use
full.
What is needed most of all, think,
is a pair of quick eyes to see what
is to be done. If boy or girl has
quick eyes and willing hands, they
will find ever so many ways of being
useful, at home, in school, and wher-
ever they may happen to be-.
The boy who has quick eyes will
see when papa wants a book from
the library, and will offer to go and
get it without waiting to be asked.
He will see when mamma wants some
thing from the store, and will offer to
run such an Grand before he goes off
to play ball.
The girl who has quick eyes will see
when grandmamma wants her needle
threaded, and will do it so promptly,
and yet so quietly that grandmamma
will feel as if fairy fingers were help
ing her to sew. The girl with quick
eyes will see when baby is restless,
and will gently care for it's wants,
and thus often help mamma.
| There are so many things that we
can do to help others, if only we have
quick eyes. Let us try to be as use
| full in this world as we can possibly
be, and we shall find that life grows
sweeter and happier the longer we
live.
