Wagner Creek Suffrage Meeting.

That Ashland ladies are equal to
almost anything in the line of public
enterprise has long ago been con-
ceded. Tuesday evening they got to-
gether a party of 16 and journeyed
to Wagner Creek school house,
where they were greeted by good
audience and held very interesting
and successful equal suffrage meet
ing.
DR.. Matte Shaw presided over the
conclave and made a very effective
opening speech. This was followed
by suffrage song, after which Miss
Nellie Briggs gave an excellent read
ing and Miss Floy Gamblers rendered
an expressive vocal solo. Mr.. r. P.
Campbell then read his composition
describing the Whistler debate, which
was received with hearty applause,
as was each number on the program.
There were suffrage speeches by
Mrs. M. Nj. Edmunds, DR.. J. z. John
son and G.. B. Lamkin, and a ques-
tion box by Mrs E. G. Gard. Miss
Caroline Van Nice, prohibition can
didate for county superintendent
spoke briefly upon the subject OF
the meeting and asked the voters to
write her name upon the ballot, as
it would not be printed there, be-
cause of her being a woman. The
meeting closed with a duet by Mrs
Childs and Mrs. Slingerland, same
being suffrage song written by Mr.
Campbell and making a great hit al
this it's first public rendition. The
Ashland party was transported tC
and from the meeting by an auto
train in charge of Messfs. A. w. Sils
by, A. c. Nininger, j. P. johnson
and c. B. Lamkin. Mrs. Silsby, Mrs

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
f.. c. Homes Writes Interestingly on
the Early Political History of
the eX-President.

Editor Tidings: There are two
items of history connected with the
career of Theo lore Roosevelt, which
occurred at its beginning and during
his occupancy of the governors chair,
that will interest you. He was grad
uated from Harvard College in 1880,
and in 1882 was elected to the New
York assembly; whether as a reform
er or, not, at this distance in time
from the event, l do not remember.
But he almost Immediately took the
position of such, and in all of his
subsequent life has continued 1t,
with what success the country and
the world are well aware. There
was on the bench at the time men
toned, a man, by name Barnard,
Judge Barnard, subservient to Tam
many Hall Mr.. Roosevelt brought
the matter to the attention of the
assembly with, why don't you inn
peach him?" and continued the cry
day after day till members said to
him, Young man, if you want to
commit political suicide, keep this
up" He did keep it up and did not
commit political suicide. He got the
attention and help of the papers and
the people, till something had to be
done, and Judge Barnard was re-
moved; whether impeached l do not
remember.
Later, when governor, he wanted
certain measures passed. They were
being so altered and amended that
their usefulness ats intended would
be destroyed. So he had a confer
ence with the leaders and frankly
told them that if they passed them
in the shape in which they then
were, he would veto them. He got
what he wanted.
And to my mind his course during
his public life has been on this or
der, and steadfastly pursued; ag-
gressive, courageous and undaunt-
ed. In every position he has filled
he has made good"
And there is his running mate
Governor Johnson, a man of same
type. In his canvass he went over
almost the entire state in his auto
mobile and met the people, and al
the election his majority was $4,000
And in his inaugural address he told
the legislators if they did not fulfill
the promises of their platform to the
letter, he would go into their dis
tricts and hold them up to their con
stituents, Two of kind and granC
men.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been accused o
usurping the prerogatiVes of con
gress in trying to force his measures
through that body and condemned
for it. He did the same thing will
the New York assembly; so did Gov
ernor Johnson with the California
legislature. At times a leader mus
use other means than mere suggest
ing to get what he wants and think
it best should be done; and person
ally l see no reason for condemnini
him for il.
There are two articles on Roose
welt and Johnson respectively in tn
Review of Reviews for September
you would find interesting reading
And now | will conclude this lette
by quoting a verse from Kiplin
which was on the banner stretche
over the platform at the progressiv
convention:
There is neither east nor west,
Border nor breed nor birth,
When two strong men stand face t
face,
Though they come from the ends g
the earth"
