HOBSON REPAY KISSERS OF
OLD BY BECOMING SUFFRAGET
(Bv Robert F. Wilson.)


Washington - Capt. Richmond
Pearson Hobson. hero of the Spanish
war. whose exploit in sinking the
Merrimac at the mouth Of Santiago
harbor. thus bottling up Cervera's
feet, made him the recipient Of the
kisses of the fair sex from one end
of the ouutry to the other (much. il
must be confessed, to that gallant Of
flcer's annoyance and dismay). has
reciprocated.
The captain has become an ardent
suffraget. In a recent speech on the
floor Of the house (the captain is now
a representative from Alabama) Capt.
Hobson mentioned his conversion TO
equal suffrage.
II have come to believe" he said,
that woman suffrage will solve many
Of the problems in national life"
The new champion OF the fair sex
in its struggle for political equality
was not. however. won to his present
frame Of mind by the memories of
those osculatory tributes which dis
puted with the laurel for place on his
fervid and youthful brow. Indeed no.
Nor did any apostle OF v~otes-for-wom-
en- pin a badge on his o and lead
him captive to the suffrage ranks.
The captain. who resigned from the
navy shortly after the war to enter
politics. has become a very serious
public life. With single hearted pur-
pose. he is working to make the
United States dry within the living
generation. He is Demon RUNS
arch enemy And 1t was in his in
vestigation Of the liquor question and
in the solitude Of his own study. that
he became convinced that woman
should nave the ballot.
After his recent confession of faith
in congress Representative Hobson
said in an interview:
THE average standard of the char
acter Of a nations electorate deter
mines the efficiency of it's political in
stitutions. In standard of character
woman is degrees ahead OF man.
Only five per cent OF the inmate OF
penal institutions arc ONE while
over 60 per cent of church members
of women would substantially raise
the character Of this nations elect
crate.
From my study Of national prob
lens l have come more and more to
realize that nearly all the laws Of
states and the nation relate to bust
ness, and that very little provision
has been for the humanities. Prop
erty has monOpoliZed the attention of
legislators almost to the exclusion OF
problems of living. .
This one sided condition is due In
herently to the fact hat men make
the laws. which of necessity reflect
the activities in which their makers
are engaged-they cover the business
part Of life. To eaualiZe this condi-
ton. to make proper provision on the
part Of the government for the other
half of human activities. it will be
necessary to give the vote to women.

SAYS UNCLE CIV

One way to keep out of trouble is
to promise a little less than you intend
to perform. Many a we'll meaning
person finds himself compromised by
letting his optimism affect his words
rather than his deeds. It's easy to
confuse hope with conviction; hard 30
make enthusiastic preliminary esti-
mates coincide with actual execution.
Unforeseen difficulties make liars of
too many of us. Oversangufne per-
sons are invariably victims of the in
nocent but dangerous habit of obli-
eating themselves without thought to
perform that which they afterward
discover to be unwise or impossible.
1t is the part of wisdom to make
few definite promises. I'll do what
1 cam is better than yes" and in
most cases NO is better STILL The
obIigations of friendship are not to be
lightly discarded, but have care of
him who would exact promises. once
your word is given, stick to it. That
way and that way alone lie honor and
the preservation of your moral, So
cial and business credit. Remember
ing this you will be slow to hang the
milestone of an unfulfillable promise
about your neck 1t is as bad to per-
nit the pleas of a Suppliant to extract
a pledge as it is to be led into a trap
by careless optimism. Rather, be
chary of your pledges, promising only
less than you expect to be able to per-
form, and thus preserve your place
in the affection of your friends as one
who processes little, but does much.
A promise fulfilled is an asset:
promise broken is a liability which
