FOR WOMEN
Harvey and Waters Tell Why
Suffrage Is Needed.
Male Government Should Per.
ish, Capt. Waters Says.

On the east steps of the state house
| Saturday evening. Major A M. Har-
vey addressed a large gathering on
equal suffrage. He was humorously
introduced by Captain Joseph G. Wat
ers who showed why a government
''of the male people, for the male peo-
pie and by the male people" should
perish from the earth Previous to
the speeches Bud" Mckee blew on
his bugle a call to arms, and Mrs.
w. A. Johnston distributed suffrage
pennants. Major Harvey and Capt.
Waters arrived with a flourish in Tom
Doran's car, gaily decorated with yell
low banners. flying remnants. and en-
ormous sunflowers.
Although Captain Waters spoke only
few minutes, he crowded many good
points into his short talk.
Il am a believer in the power and
influence. of good woman he said,
with heat, They are the anchors that
hold humanity to decency and up
rightness. r all the good women
were to leave the United States for u
return that pandemonium was holding
high carnival here, and hell would DO
empty of all but the care takers of
its birthstone piles, it's blast furnaces
and griddles-
Harvey as an Example.
There is no better illustration OF
the power and influence of a good
woman he concluded, than that
taken from the story of Major Har-
vey's own life. He is one of five
brothers; all grown to manhood,
husky, strong, bright and useful men,
all doing their full measure of duty in
the useful and better concerns of life.
They are indebted to their mother,
who was a delicate pioneer woman,
who consecrated her life TO their up
building and she lived long enough to
enjoy the glory of her work. intend
now to give way to Major Harvey's
voice, and let him tell you with all the
force of truth and Justice, why a gov
eminent of the male people, by the
male people and for the male people
should perish from the face of the
earth.''
Major Harvey, who was enthusiastically
received, bowed appreciatively, and said
in part:
Women are good citizens. Now when
we say the Indian is a good citizen, we
give him the right TO vote. When we say
the negro is a good citizen we give him
women the same right. Good women
helped to make the nation strong, anc
rights during the civil war. When an
army of 10000 men was raised in ten
days it was the women who held the
home intact.
The strangest thing in history of man
has been his treatment of women. lie
has been guided by an Unborn prejudice of
history points to the servitude of women.
The march of civilization has been the
slowest upon this proposition of any De-
cause of the cry that mans chivalry

yesterday, and in the future will be great

TAFT MAY SIGN 1T.
Would Like Supreme Court to Pass on
the Canal Bill.

Washington. Aug. 19.-Over the
White House coffee cups President
Taft and his cabinet discussed the
Panama canal bill and the question of
measure.
Every member of the cabinet who
was in town was present, and the dis
cussiCn lasted an hour after luncheon
time, but no decision was reached.
The presidents inclination, it was
said, is to approve the bill, but he is
anxious to have provision made for a
legal test of the matter of free tolls
for American ships. The cabinet was
understood to agree with him that
there is a. basis for believing the bill
with the free tolls clause in it, is not
in conformity with the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty.
When the conference was over, the
the best way to test the Bills agree
nent with the treaty was to have the
supreme court pass upon it.
He will confer with senate and
house leaders in the next few days and
Will devote most of his own time to
bordering over this one bill. Most of
the Republican leaders in both houses
and probably some OF the leading
Democrats will be called into consulta-
ton and the bill will be gore over with
care.
The president was told that it is
probably too late to amend the bill,
and that any action he may take must
be in the form of veto, unless he can
get Republican and Democratic lead
erS to agree on a joint resolution to be
passed later that would show that the
United States had no intention of abro-
eating the existing treaty with Great
Britain.
Such a resolution would permit for

fote treaty in the United States courts
