To build great city, equip it with
modern conveniences, pave it's streets
and otherwise beautify it, requires
large sums of money. Some people
are as scared of municipal debt as
! satan is of holy water, but the his
tory of the world shows that where
there is no debt, there is no municipal
progress. Get the money and give us
the improvements.

Two Illinois women advertised in

coming. If two Illinois women got
that many replies, just think what

should start out to seek husbands
through the press. They would come
as fast as votes for Woodrow Wilson.

NO SURRENDER
OF WAR TROPHIES

= 2
OTTAWA, June 2S.-There will be
no surrender of the Bunker Hill gun,
Col. Sam Hughes having declined to
accede to the suggestion of Massac.
husetts Peace Society that the trophy
be handed back. What happened was
that Colonel Hughes raised the ques-
ton of a general exchange of trophies
Ia species of reciprocity in captured
cannons, flags, etc-but the American
Assistant Secretary of State for War,
General Oliver, showed no disposition
to accede. Thereupen Mr.. Hughes fail
Ed to see the point of unrequited sur.
render. General Oliver in his com
mrnication said that a certain number
of British guns. largely trophies of
the revolution, are in the custody OF
the War Department, that others are
at various army posts, where some OF
them form parts of monuments and
some of them have been built into
structures and that others again by
Act of Congress have been bestowed
upon states of the union. 1t thus
would be impracticable to collect
many of them. while additional legis,
lation would be necessary and
steps looking to the obtaining dt
authority would have to be originated
through diplomatic channels

Wonlen's Federation

I es were short and to the point and
there was a healthy opposition to the
proposal for a reorganization of the
whole federation. Evidently the coun-
Gil would proceed by gradual amend
ment in preference to revolution.
Breyity in speech is not usually
credited to women and 1t is not the
least significant sign of the radical
changes wrought by public life in Wo-
men that there was no desire for a
superfuous or even the familiar last
word.
1t was recognized that the biennial
conventions have become unwieldy
and the council seems to have been
well advised in suggesting reduction
of delegates as against the scheme for
creating a double chamber.
The chief item for general discus
sion will be that of the suffrage and
the issue whether or not the federation
should commit itself for or against
Extremists on both sides are keen for
a declaration, but there are many
pros and ants who contend that the
best interests of the. federation are
best served by an attitude of neutral
ity toward all party political ques-
tons. There are so many reforms
upon which women of all shades OF
political opinion are united, it is per-
haps wiser that they should be fought
for and secured before adding a plank
which must necessarily divide forces
and possibly lose many members and
affiliated bodies. And this without re-
gard to the merits of the issue.
However. this commentator of the
work of the federation would have no
point if it left the implication that del
egates may not take the most prudent
course.

Interspersed with magic is plenty
of comedy. He brought down the
house last night by producing eggs
from thin air and heaping them upon
an obliging Oriental gentleman who
had come. from the audience and who
tried to put the eggs in his pocket.
The eggs kept coming and coming and
the obliging gentleman's eyes stuck
out further and further. When the
shells in his pocket began to break,
Raymond stopped the egg factory and
allowed the crowd to recover its
breath.
He is making changes in his bill,
it was announced last night, and
will make complete change three
or four times in the ten nights.

GREAT RAYMOND
IS real WIZARD
Mystery and Comedy in Open
ing Program at Ye
Liberty
The Great RAYMOND is..-grea..

The Great Raymond is,--grea.
He opened his ten nights local en-
gagement before crowd that jam
med the big Liberty ti;eatre and over
flowed in festoons OF snail boys
perched precariously around the walls
like flies. This big house got an even
ing full of wonder AMI amusement,
for the Great Raymond mixes comedy
and wizardry as easy as d song and
dance.
Raymond is not only an exceedingly
expert sleight-of-hand man, which
any stage wizard has to be, but he
has the ability to. work on the psy-
chology of big audience as well as
its humor and credulity In stage
illusian he is the best ever seen here,
if testimony of old-timers last night
is to be believed.
With 1t all, he has a big show"
He carries many complete changes of
stage settings and as much parapher-
nalia as circus. The people who
work with ham change costumes
every minute cor. so, while Raymond
simply rolls up the sleeves of his
evening coat, so that he has no cuffs
to deceive, and begins to make things
appear and disappear, and to puzzle
or tickle the audience alternately.
He works rapidly, cleanlJ, neatly,
and there's something doing all The
time Last night the show was di-
vlGed into three sections, with two
ten-minute intermissions, and every
ore of the sections ended with an
extraordinary piece of magic of some
kird.
The trunk mystery mas been seen
here before, but Raymond SLOWS a
new angle on it. He handouts a
young lady assistant, envelopes her
in sack. ties up the sack and seals
it. puts the girl in a trunk, locks the
trunk, utters a few lamentations and
presently, from within the curtained
cabinet, something happens Nobody
knows ust what, but out comes the
girl, and when the trunk is opened,
inside is Raymond, tied up in The sack
and with the handouts On his wrists.
All this in full view of the audience
aid with a committee of daring citi-
zens to go right up on the stage and
look the proceedings over.
OF course the trick has been ex-
planned and explained, on the ground
of concealed seams in the sack and
a trunk that opens somewhere and
lets the people slip in and out But
last night Raymond was in and out
so fast that all the committee con-
fessed themselves puzzled
His Noah's ark is woPder in its
way. He shows a big box with win
dows, empty as an eggshell. and then
he begins to pull out chickens ond
ducks and pigeons and guinea-pigs

While the. average man may not
take the local women's club of which
his wife is a member any more seri-
ously than to protest mildly when
there is clash in domestic arrange
ments, convention of the Federation
of Women's Clubs is an event OF deep
import to every citizen who would
keep abreast of the most pronounced
movement of recent years. In the So
Geological sense this is woman's age
The woman political and social is
here, means to stay and must be reck-
oned with.
Time was when the comic journal
pictured women's meetings as terror
lied by the advent OF a mouse and de-
moralized by the appearance. of a
member in garment announced as q
trophy from bargain sale.
The sex has changed all that. A
mouse has still its terrOrs and bar

in convention assembled women are

men-more so than many men in POI

HONOLULU WOMEN INTERESTED
NBIGNATIONAL CONVENTION

Rivals Friendly.
Two of the candidates for the pres
idency occupied opposite suites in
the Palace Hotel and though each
of the ladies, Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs.
Pennybacker, was working hard for
the honor, they were both friendly
and when Mrs. Pennybacker was
elected Mrs. Carpenter was the first
woman TO embrace her.
After the most important business
of the convention was completed
special trains carried the delegates
and their friends to all the interesting
places in California and at each place
the women were warmly greeted and
entertained. Disappointment was ex-
pressed by some of the members be-
cause no definite action was taken in
the matter of woman-s suffrage, as
many of the members of the Fedora
tion are active suffragettes, but the
time for so decided step, evidently
bad not arrived.
Splendid. Work.
Almost every subject that comes
under the observation OK the Woman's
Clubs of America was taken up dur
ing the convention and Mrs. Philips
N. Moore, the retiring president in
her farewell address spoke of the
splendid work that has been done by
the women during the past two years.
Mrs. Percy Pennybacker, the new
President, has for years been most
active in the Federation. and, say
those who know, is most capable Of
filling the position she now holds. She
has great many staunch friends both
in Texas, her own State, and in the
other places where her work Is well
known.
The festivities Of the convention
were somewhat dampened by the
death of Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker Of
Colorado, who passed away before

Though somewhat removed from

has been shown by the women in Ho-

ly two ladies, Miss Eggleston and

They attended several of the func-
tons given for the delegates and
some OF the stories they have told
are TO say the least interesting
These ladies are from Cleveland,
Ohio, and although they were not del
egates, they came from CLEVELAND To
San Francisco in the special train
comprised of ten coaches. The trip
was most interesting for little side
trips were made to all the points of
interest along the line and at each
stop the delegates we're interviewed
by reporters. At one place the re-
porter while speaking to some ladies,
asked for photographs. which were
refused them, and photographer sta
toned at another point took snap
shots OF them, and much was their
surprise when next morning their own
faces smiled at them from the pa
pers. During the two weeks of the
convention, business was interspersed
with pleasure. Receptions were held
by the club women of California who
were hostesses and by individuals.
Light musical and Gancing acts would
fiji in gap between two long reports
and served as bit of diversion for

well as the listeners.

BY PERCY SHAW.

~ UT of the night they came
From the shades of the Mongol
wing;
And the paths they made
And the power they laid
Was stepped in slaughter and flame,
Was builded in terror and shame
And tied with the dread bow string.
Children Of wild Iran
on the Christian soul they rrod
And they tioCked from prayer
Like beasts from the lair,
Vizier and Bey and clan
To torture the helpless man
In the name of the Moslem God.
Vile was their plot and plan
AS they watched the West World
rise.
They saw the sun OF the printed page,
The upward march OF the waking age
Crying: "Mahomet. who all things can
Restore us the glories of great Orkhan
That are blazed in the Prophets
skies
Like dogs sRarling over a bone
The Christ-loving nations stood
While the cries of the thousands came
Weeping from outrage and flame
Must we stand forever alone?
Help US, you always have known
We pray to the God of your blood

They have scaled the cruel WALL
They have shamed the strong and great

They have glorified the weak
With the Cross on the mountain peak;
They have heard and answered tie
