Some twenty years ago several Of
the Rocky mountain states began the
of woman's suffrage.
From all sections of the country came
the most scathing criticisms for those
states that dared to attempt such a
novelty in human government. The
press of the country ridiculed the
o-called crazy states, and were loud
in their claims that the woman's suf-
frage movement would fab of its own
weight.
Notwithstanding all the insults of
fered from the hide-bound conserva-
lists of the east the adherents of the
cause have never wavered. The belief
III the justice Of the new and pro-
lrcssive movement has become
stronger and each year brings an in
creased interest in every section of
the United States. Even New Eng.
land has been disturbed and it is
amusing to watch the frantic efforts
of those rock-ribbed, Puritanic fossil
lized mossbacks as they have advanc-
ed from the fun poking to the silent
contempt class, then on to the de-
fensive and finally to the aggressive
position which at the present time
they are occupying. They realize now
what the western or progressive peo-
pie realized many years ago, that IS,
that II, suffrage movement is to be
an issue world wide in its scope and
coextensive with advancing civiliza-
tion. Long ago the original bitter
opponents of the cause granted that
by the laws Of nature women had the
right tc participate in governmental
affairs, but contended and still con-
| tend that it is inadvisable for women
to exercise that natural right. When
| they yielded the first point in the
discussion they at once placed them
selves on the defensive and have ever
since rapidly lost ground everywhere,
1t is safe to presume that within the
next ten or twenty years the conserva-
tives will have lost out in practically
every state.
The western states are rapidly fall
ing into line and modifying their state
| constitutions so that women can vote.
| In score or more of the central
southern and eastern states the mat
ter has reached that stage where the
Legislators can no longer withstand
the pressure and are compelled to sub
nit the question to the people. Mis-
souri, is the last state to enter this
list. True it is that the movement
is fighting hard fight everywhere
The new movements always originate
in the progressive west and by the
time they have become popular in the
east and south the west is ready to
inaugurate other movements. There
J fore about all the eastern people have
to do is watch the west and prepare
to accept its decisions some twenty
years later. 1t is pleasure to the
western people to be able to lead in
these humanitarian movements. II
should be remembered, however, that
the west is largely settled by east
erners. The difference of opinion
along these lines can be explained by
the fact that large per cent OF
those who come from the east to the
west are progressive, Then, too, eli
matte conditions have much to do in
changing the pessimist to an optimist

A FRIENDLY
SUIT over
UNIVERSITY

Pursuant to a resolution passed by
the board Of regents Of the Univers-
ity Of Oregon and a request made by
Governor West, District Attorney
McNary has commenced suit in the
circuit court for this county, re-
questing that the court restrain the
secretary of state from putting on
the ballot at the next general elec.
ton the title Of the bills appropriate
ing money for the Oregon Univers-
ity The ground upon which he asks
the injunction is that the petitions
asking that the bills be referred to
o vote Of the people are fraudulent,
to the extent that they are void in
contemplation Of law.
All allegations in the complaint
are the same as in the suit brought
by Friendly, and which was recently
decided adversely to the university
by the supreme court In view Of
this condition Of affairs II is proba-
bic that stipulation will be en-
tered into between the attorneys I'm
the case, to the effect that the evi-
dence taken in the former case may
be used In the present one, and
thereby expedite matters sufficiently
so that the case may be decided be-
fore the election.
The friends of the university bear
all the expense OF the litigation.

GAMBLERS
DYNAMITE
POOL ROOMS

San Francisco, June 1.-Disappoint-
ed gamblers are believed today to be
responsible for three dynamitings
which occurred last night in the sec
tion Of the city where poolroOms are
operated, Two poolrooms operated
by Tom Corbett and A. b. Broyer,
were almost totally destroyed by dy-
Mantle bombs hurled into the places,
and the offices of Hopkins, Mailman
G Co., few blocks away, we're badly
wrecked by charge of dynamite
dropped through skylight from the
roof of an adjoining building.
Hundreds of people gathered at
the sound Of the explosions, and panic
was narrowly averted in several thea
tres in the vicinity. Squads of police
secured the city, but were unable to
find any trace of the dynamiters, al
though the skylight dynamitlng was
witnessed from the street by police
man. The buildings dynamited were
all deserted, so no fatalities or injur-
les resulted.
Last month the police arrested 1853
persons in poolroom raids, but were
unable to secure any convictions, and
the pool halls are said to be doing a
thriving business in the neighborhood
of the dynamited buildings.

WILL REDUCE THE
STATE'S PRINTING BILL

Responding 10 a request made
upon him by State Printing Expert
Harris, Attorney General Crawford
to-day rendered an opinion declaring
that the cutting out OF reports OF
matters which are Of doubtful public
utility Is a matter which rests who'll
ly within his discretion, and that
should he determine that matters
entering into the secretary Of states
report are OF such a character that
It is his duty to eliminate them.
The state printing expert figures
that he can eliminate enough matter
from the forthcoming report Of the
secretary OF state TO reduce It's costs
about $4,000, but desired an lnterpre-
tation OF the law by the attorney
general before proceeding
Armed with this decision, the state
printing expert will likely slash
deeply into reports OF all state on
GERS and effect a saving for the state
amounting TO thousands Of dollars.

tale of horrible brutality practiced by
a band Of rebels. He said;
Some weeks ago an authentic re-
port reached us that German engin-
eer and his superintendent had been
tied to tree by a force of rs rebels,
who then outraged and butchered the
engineers wife before his eyes, taunt-
ing the two men with their helpless
ness. The superintendent was an
American citizen. Similar outrages
are being perpetrated almost daily.
"The cry Of these bandits, as of all
other so-called rebels, is clear the
country Of Gringoes," (Americans).

has been teaching in a government
school in the State of OaXaca, as
cribes much of the inflamed feeling to
the apathy of President Madero and
to the efforts of Mexican educators to
instill into the minds Of students that
the United States is only awaiting a
favorable opportunity to gobble up
Mexico. This belief is said to be gen.
eral among the lower class of Mexl-
cans, who are responsible for nearly
all the outrages against foreign resi-
dents.

San Francisco, June 1.--That Presi-
dent MaderO, of Mexico, is winking at
the outrages perpetrated on women
and children by rebels and bandits to
get the people to a point where they
will rise in frenzy against the ma
urauders, was the burden of stories
told here today by 100 American ref
ugees who arrived from Mexico on the

About so Of the refugees, stripped of
their valuables by Mexican bandits, at

this number 2S men were given quar-

and five women and eight children are

The Rev. Levi Henshaw, who was
stationed at Perez, Vera Cruz, places
all the blame on Madero's shoulders
for the feeling against Americans and
other foreign residents. He said:
"Madero has been asking for volun-
teers, and none have been forthcom-

firm in their belief that Madero is en-
couraging the pillage to arouse nom
combatants against the rebels"
