A Feast.

On Washington's birthday the Swas-
tika Club held one of the grandest affairs
ever held in St. Anthony's parish. 1t
was at Thorny Brook that the crowd as
sembled and spent the evening in playing
different games, song and music, but the
greatest sport for the young folks was
several tricks that some of the young
men thought were easy until they tried
them. Several of the young ladies en-
tertained the crowd with solos on the
piano. At eleven o'clock the crowd was
invited to the DINING room which was
beautifully prepared for the event. The
dinner was passed by toasts and speeches
from the crowd. They then returned to
the parlor where the games were con-
tinued, and at one o'clock the crowd,
after expressing their appreciation for
the pleasure, retired. Those present
were Misses Mary, Mabel and Margaret
Grant. Mary and Veronica Knott, Mary
Jordan; Messrs John Jordan, Calvin and
Harry Fox, Edward, Ernest and William
Settler, JOS, George and Felix Hemler.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

(The Equal Franchise League of Thur
mont assumes responsibility for all state
ments, facts and arguments edited in
this column.)
What Women Want.
1t is not luxury that Women want.
The idle sheltered life, the chance to
shirk!
1t is not gratitude, nor graft, nor praise,
Nor painted primrose paths where satyrs
What women want, demand, demand
again,
Is just that same Square deal' which
men give men,
And Mans high privilege of Chosen
Work!
1t is not less of Womanhood they crave,
But more of hardy growth, of steadfast
pOise.
They would not shirk their splendid
destinies,
But only that stale sweet which drugs
and cloys,-
Those suave and singing compliments
that burn!
The eating bread they do not, could not
The counting to strong men as chattels,
toys!
All We who rdicue' this clamor shrill,
This discomfort in every Land confessed,
Ye other women, clothed in dignity,
Convinced that methods Indirect are
best!-
Be patient while we battle. You shall see
The mellow fruits of Equal Liberty
The worldwide harvest, grown of our
unrest!
And we, thrice happy women, loved of
men
Who give US honest minds and loyal
hearts,
We would defend our sadder sisters spent
BY harsh, unguarded toll in many marts!
Not special privilege we ask for these
And for ourselves thin-spun sophis-
tries,
But that self-government which strength
imparts!

WOMEN BETTER FITTED TO VOTE
THAN MAN.

Coming ont warmly for woman
suffrage before Il public meeting of
the New Haven Political Equllity
club DR.. Jay W. Seavrr gave an adj
dress on the subject, "A Psychology
cal Study of the Woman's Suffrage
Movement" He said in part:
In the primitive form of life, the
man was by reason of his fighting
power, leader. 1t was he who went
to war, did the fishing and hunting.
Woman was held stationary by the
needs of her family. She staid at
home, caring for it and raising the
crops to feed the members of her
household. She supported herself
and her children, maintaining her
husband as well. Women of the
past worked harder than men. They
had to and always will. Women had
more endurance. They were made
harder by reason of greater effort.
Modern ways of living have changed
woman's condition and have given
her more time to study and under
stand the large affairs outside than
it has the men. Woman has high
er moral sense. In questions of right
and wrong, she can see and decide
more clearly for the right. Man
looks at a question from a financial
standpoint, while woman does not
take that view of it.
"One of the reasons for some of
the women holding back in this ques-
ton is that they are disgusted with
the way men have managed things,
but that does not follow that women
will follow in the same groove. Others
shirk responsibility. Women who
are alive to this movement, owe it to
their sisters to show them all that
they should assume responsibility to
help in the settling of questions which
reach into the homes. AS conditions
are now, woman cannot develop
thoroughly because surrounded by a
stigma OF incompetency. They are
classified as incompctents with Grim
inals and idiots. This stigma should
be removed before it impairs the
mental development of woman. 1t
is a matter of clear Justice. Every
body ought to be on an equal basis
before the law"

SAYS MAYOR PRESTON IS DELAY
ING LOCA OPTION BILL.

The Anti-Saloon League has prov
ed that Speaker Trippe is hostile to
local option and then defeated him
for the appointment to the Board OF
Election Supervisors promised him
by the city ring and has now gone
after Mayor Preston Of Baltimore.
The League for several weeks has
been charging in the, american Issue
that the Mayor is against the bill,
which he has not denied. Last Sun
day at special called meeting OF the
congregation Of Bethany Methodist
Episcopal church, Immediately at the
close of the regular morning service,
Superintendent Anderson of the
League made the fiat statement that
but for Mayor Preston the local op'
ton bill would have already been
passed. The League calls attention
to the fact that the Mayor was nom.
mated and elected with the aid OF tho
liquor votes and says that the ap.
pointmcnt OF temperance commit
tee chairman interested in the liquor
traffic to hold up the local option bill
in order to give the opposition time
to work against il was simply repay.
ing the liquor interests for services
rendered.
The League says that while the
Mayor has kept out of sight his is the
real influence behind the opposition
to the bill and that if the liquor in
terests have, as they claim, secured
some votes from the Eastern Shore,
it is because the Mayor has required
it as the price of some political deal,
Just as he dictated the selection OF
Mr.. Trippe as Speaker.
Mr.. Anderson charges that il the
Mayor can succeed in defeating the
local option bill without attracting at
tention to himself the liquor interests
will finance his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for Wee
President in the coming National
Convention, and challenges the May
or, if these things are not true, to
prove it by declaring for the bill.
The Mayor in an interview when
shown the Leagues statement said
that it was erroneous and Incorporate
but did not deny that he is against
the bill and that his friends are op-
posing it with his approval.
The League has also published a
statement of facts in the Baltimore
papers showing that the so-called
meeting of the trades bodies against
local option was merely 1 mass meet
ing of portion of the individual
members of such bodies initiated by
the opponents of local option.

Winnipeg, Man.-It is estimated
that from 100 to 200 people were
killed and property loss of $1O,000,000
entailed by tornado which, after a
day Of thunderstorms and high winds,
struck Regina, Saskatchewan, at 6
p. m.
The local telephone office was
wrecked and it is feared that fifteen
girls employed there were killed. The
Telephone Exchange building, the
Standard block, the First Baptist
church and the Baird & Bottel build
ing are among the structures de-
stroyed
All wires, except one telegraph wire,
are down. This one wire is crowded
with private messages from people
who wish to send word Of their safety
to friends and relatives.
The tornado came from the South,
and first struck the new Parliament
building, just completed at cost of
100000. The building is of steel
and concrete, and while 1t still stands,
1t is badly shaken.
The storm then swept northward,
moving a path six squares wide
through the fashionable residence dis
trict. Along Victoria street, from Six
teenth to Eleventh streets, 800 houses
were destroyed and many people
killed. Automobiles filled with people
were hurled high in the air and drop
ped blocks away.
At Eleventh street in the business
district, warehouses, banking institu-
tions and retail stores were sent into
heaps of ruin, while the air was filled
with flying wreckage.
Passing the business district, the
Canadian Pacific railway tracks were
reached. Six big grain elevators were
toppled over like ten pins, the timbers
being piled in heaps on the tracks.
The storm continued northwest from
Regina through Central Saskatche-
wan, doing great damage, but no loss
of life is reported outside Regina
Heavy losses to buildings are reported
from Gu Appele, 40 miles east of Re-
gina, and also at Melville, on the
