day Of the Salt Lake pilgrims in Idaho
this morning. Tonight, after a whole
hearted reception in Caldwell, the trav-

other busy day tomorrow. Nine Idaho
cities with u combined population or
10000, were visited during the day.
In every one the reception accorded the
Salt Lakers was so cordial that they
found themselves wondering why they
had not come sooner and regretting that
they could not stay longer.
Most Of the Salt Lakers today had
their first vision Of the Snake river
valley and thereby acquired an inn

the state of Idaho. They were told

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 9.-When
Colonel Roosevelt climbed on board his
private car tonight to wend his way
westward once more, on the last stage
Of his journey from the Atlantic to tho
Pacific, he turned to look back at the
city from the vantage point Of the OBJ
servation platform, and remarked:
"By Georgel Spokane has given me
what I might call a middling lively
day.
The colonel made four speeches, at
tended breakfast, luncheon and a
dinner, talked politics with the pro-
gressive leaders and headed parade
through the city.
In his speeches Colonel Roosevelt
gave his views of woman suffrage, re-
piled to Woodrow Wilson s criticism Of
the progressive proposal for minimum
wage scales, assailed the position of
the Democratic party and talked Of
the tariff, the courts, the high cost of
living and the farmers. He said little
of the Republican party, on the ground
that "he never discussed dead folks -
Speaks to Women.
Colonel Roosevelt gave over most of
the afternoon to the women of
Spokane. A meeting exclusively for
women was held in the auditorium, and
another theater was engaged for an
overflow meeting
The colonel said that he had not
been induced to take up the cause of
woman suffrage by women who devoted
their time to advocating it, but by
women whom he had consulted in
regard to other matters. He found that
women like Miss Jane Addams of Chi
cago, he said, whom he had consulted
with regard to social and economic
conditions among the workers Of their
sex, were virtually all in favor OF
woman suffrage because they believed
it would assist women to improve their
condition. Another condition in induc-
ing him to accept this point Of view,
he said. was the influence in behalf of
good government which women bad
exercised through the ballot in the
western states in which they already

Why Women Should Vote.

''The argument that participation in
politics will take women from the
home" he continued, "is just as we'll
grounded as it would be to say that
men should not vote because it would
take them from their business. 1t is
not so much that women need to spend
time as political workers as that they
need to work out the questions con.
nected with our government and then
take the right action at the polls''
Colonel Roosevelt admonished his
hearers that they must not fail to 20 TO
the polls.
"You are not to be excused" he
told themj eff you don't come out and
exercise with intelligence the right of
suffrage that is yours in this state.
You must not treat it Is IN interest,

must treat It as duty rather than a
