ARE WELL FORTIFIED
Women Prepared to Spend $1,000 a
Day on Suffrage Campaign.

Columbus, o., April 15,-That the
woman suffragists of Ohio are pre-
pared to spend $1,000 day from
now until the new constitution is
voted on, in campaign of education
for the woman suffrage proposal
adopted by the constitutional con-
vention, Is the statement made by
Miss Cenevieve Blair Sackett OF Ann
herst, Lorain county, who Is one OF
the leaders in the Ohio equal SUI
trage movement.
As IL is not probable that special
election for passing upon the amend
ments to the convention drafted by
the constitutional convention can be
held before the middle of next Au-
gust, the minimum amount available
for educating the electors of Ohio in
favor of the suffrage proposal is, ac-
cording to Miss Sackett, $l3O,O0O.
Weekly and monthly subscriptions
from the $4,000 organized women
workers in the suffrage cause is the
system by which the campaign funds
at the command OF Miss Sackett are
being raised.
Nearly 80 speakers from outside
will invade the state after May | 10
preach the gospel OF equal political
rights for women and they must be
paid salaries ranging from SO to
y25e a day, as well as expenses.
Automobiles for auto tours through
the country, by which the suffragists
will reach the rural voters, will be
hired by the day and leased by the
month.
1--WE are not going TO take any
chances" said Miss Sackett This
IS our big opportunity and we are not
going to risk victory by failing to
spend enough money"

The wet and cold weather of the
past winter has greatly favored the
abatement of the chinch bug plague in
Ohio, and II farmers generally will
now proceed to destroy the remnant of
bugs which have survived the winter,
we can reasonably hope to get
through the coming summer with less
damage than occurred last year.
Owing to the lateness of the spring,
the bugs will hardly commence to fly
freely before the last ten days OF
April, and ii farmers generally will
practice concerted burning over the

LOOKS LIKE PRESUMPTION.

on the continuance of the Com m"rcc Court during the last days of the late congress certainly looked like presumption on his part, for he alone, appare lilly, sees the necessity of this tribun- al, which the Supreme Court of the United States has declared is without Jurisdiction, and without power, excepting to interfere by means of injunciinns, with the I&al!y has the power tn enforce ills decree.
 IL is very probable that the Su- pr"mr Court knows what il is say presumption stands, il is difficult ln understand why the president should hold up the legislation of ih" country in order to pcrprluatr lO be absolutely useless SO far as any good to inc country is concerned.
 Tn practical experience the commerce court has been a bar upon the activities of the inter- state commerce commission. It has never been held that any of inc judges of that court have had any expert knowledge concerning tho problem of tranSpOrtaI ion while it is recognized that tho Op- pOSite is true concerning the in ier-State commerce commission. The commerce court, upon mere application and without even an cxparte hearing, has presumed to lie up by restraining orders, the drcrcrS of inc interstate cOm- mcrcc commission which have been arrived at through careful study of conditions. Instead of Inc work of arriving at just freight rates being expedited through the work of the commerce court, if has been unduly rrIard- rd, and there never has been a single case that has been appeal cd from the findings of in" com mission that could not have been passed upon by Inc regular courts of the federal government.
 No one would ask that the de- crcrS of inc interstate commerce commission should be absolute, for like any other tribunal they should be subject to review even lo the Supreme Court of the CniI- cd SiaicS. but so long as the com mcrcc is unable tO enforce it's de- crrrS but can only hamper through the power of injunction, that court would seem iO simply defer the final passing upon points involved in the rnmmis- siOn'S drrrrcS.
 If aegrirvcd. inc railroads have Inc power of appeal. and Ihis must bc done no matter whether the commerce court has delayed mai- irrs or not. the result heinz That necessary delays arc multiplied many fold by the existence of a tribunal which lacks all power i0 mako or enforce drcrrcS because il lacks jurisdiction over tho fnd- ings of the inirr-siaic commerce commission.
 Tho wisdom of congress, rrin- forced by the findings of the highest court in the land, has found the ctunmcrcc court worse than useless. and if looks like presumption upon the part of the Srcsidcni to declare that this court must be continued in ex- istcncp or else the ordinary op- craiionS of government will not bc allowed to proceed in an orderly

declared in the Senate the other day that the trouble lies not with
 the trusts which have the goods for sale, but with the people, who
 insist on living beyond their means. Perhaps he is right. But
 the fact that he. has spent the
 greater part of>his life at the
 government trough, and knows
 nothing, from uractical exper-
 fence, of the lives of real work
 CTS, causes the suspicion that he
 may be influenced in his bt :efs by too close association with the big interests of the nation, which are just at present dominating the
 national capital, and, incidental
 ly, the country at large.
 In way, the people are to blame. In studying the cost of the living problem, full cOnsidcr- alton must be given to the in- crease of what, in general terms, may be called the desire for ease.
 Where once, for instance. the head of the family went to the grocery store and the butcher shop armed With a large market basket, the shOpkecpcrs nowadays arc expected to deliver purchases al the back doors of their GUS toners. If may be only a yeast cake or pound of tea. but il must Al I Inl in many cases the orders arc 'phoncd 10 the stores and shops source of expense which did not enter into the calculations of the carly-day household.
 The direct result of thiS mod crnism, and 'lovr of luXury," as the Ohio senator expresses il. is that those who enter business now must al tn" same time set up a ! livery stable nr a garage. as tho case may be. This additional rX- pcnsc must. as a matter of course, come out of the pockets of the consumers.
 But what of the first cost of Inc things we must have to keep body and soul together? What i new indulgence has the cOnsum- rr discovered tO cause the dOub- | ling in the price of meat at a | single bound? Surely this cannot i be charged up against the de- livery department and the desire of the housewife to save a long walk to the shop. We would like ! io have Senator Burton or some other representative of the big in lercsts explain how such a thing can happen over night. We know it must be the fault of the work ing people of the country, but we can't quite figure out the nature of their latest offense.
 Fortunately for Alaskans, the game season is open, and the dire visited upon the un- fortunate outsiders will not affect his torritory-for a time. at least
