Dixie Office Holders Receive
Letters From the Taft
Headquarters.

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Further
evidence of the manner in which the
administration campaign managers
ire conducfsng the fight for delsestss,
has come to light in the form Of a
circular letter which is being sent to
postmasters and other federal employ
es throughout the Northwest. That a
similar form of letter is being sent out
through the South already has been
stated, but its exact terms have not
as yet come to light
The letters received by the Federal
employees in the Northwest are very
delicately worded-such letters as on.

Kinley could we'll turn out. and
abound with yelled threats and plas-

SCOTT HAS DISCOVERED THE
SOUTH POLE, AMUNOSEN SAYS
WOMAN OtNOUNCES
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Mrs. Miriam McDivitt Calls
1t an Alarming Symp-
tom of Decadence."

Mrs. Miriam McDivitt. a prominent
Richmond woman, has come out
strongly against suffrage for women.
The political arena Is not for those of
her sex to enter. she believes. and at
a meeting of the Aftermath club, of
which many OF the most prominent
women of the city are members. Mrs.
McDivitt stated. that no thoughtful
person will deny that the present agi-
tation about woman suffrage is the
most alarming symptom Of decadence
we, as a nation, have to face at this
moment
There are q number of members Of
the club who do not share Mrs. Nc
Divitts views on this important Ques-
tion and they answered her arguments
In q vigorous manner. Other members
supported the stand taken by Mrs.
McDivitt in as equally a sturdy fash
! ion.
Question 4 Simple One.
THE suffrage que s1ion is very
simple matter-so simple that no one
c\n believe how very simple it is.'
Mrs. McDivitt informed the Aftermath
club members. ''On the suffrage side
! We see women who feel that they are
capable of undertaking and execut.
ing not only any task under the sun.
but every kind Of a task, at once. AS
sociated with these We find other wo-
men upon whom the favors OF fortune
have been SO lavishly showered that
, they enjoy an exhilerating sense OF
omnipotence, and behind these a class
| Of women, so-called strong-minded
possessed not only Of a reasuring con.
| viction that everything they do ia
done extremely we'll, and that it must
ultimately be for the good Of man
kind if they add to their own peculiar
bors which have heretofore been con
sidered masculine.
These classes of women must evi
IDENTIFY be those who are unusually
skilful and competent-really the ex
ceptional part Of womankind, and con
oeded at once the minority.
Opposed to these aspirants for SUI
frage We. the grest majority conscioui
of our limitations, straining after ths
accomplishment OF our tasks, with .
sense of our imperfecttons, are unwil
ling to assume further responsibilities
1T is the average woman. however,
continued Mrs. McDivitt, who should
be considered in the extension of sui
frage to women. Suffragists have care
fully eliminated this important class In
their statements of the problem. The
suffragist argument is based on the
capacity Of the exceptional woman tc
undertake that most exceptional tasl
so exceptional that We have only In
rare instances seen it attempted-the
discharge by one person OF mans
functions as we'll as a woman's. It II
fair or reasonable to require this o.
the average woman when 1t has MOI
yet been proved that the exceptiona
ones are capable Of it,"

LONDON. March Tho South.
Pole has been discovered by an Hns.f
lishman. The announcement waal
made this afternoon by the Daily Ex-s
press in a special cablegram from
Wellington, New Zealand. 1t quoted
Captain Amundsen. the Norwegian eA-
plorer, who has just arrived 1t hobart.
Tasmania. with saying positively that
Capt. Robert F. Scott, who headed the
English expedition. had succeeded In
his long quest for the pole.
Despite this announcement NO Of
ficial word has been received from
Captain Scott by the Royal Geographi-
cal society. or the men who were the
financial hackers of Scott's explora-
ton. -...
The return to civilization of Capt.
Amundsep before he was expected
was theoretically explained by the
fact that Captain Scott had beaten.
him in the race overs the Anarctic leo
field. 1t was pointed out that Amund-
sen went south with the intention OF
making q quick dash for the pole and
that he had mo- fixed program OF scion
tific work before him % did the Scott
party. s..,......-,...
NsWs d Authentic.
The editor Of the Daily Express de-
clared that his correspondent ut Well
/; lington was a reliable and trusted
! man, and that he had the utmost
confidence in his word.
Some persons profess belief today
| that Amundsen raced back to civili1a-
| tion to gain the honor OF being the
first person to give the announcement
of the poles discovery to the world ut
!, large. even though he had himself
lost the honor of first reaching the
I pole.
! Amundsen was not expected to
reach the outpost of civilization for ut
least two weeks, or perhaps month
| later than this date.
Scott 10 believed to be still In the
ice fields far away from communica-
tion with the rest Of the world. The
Geographical society has sent cable
gram asking for further information
from Captain Amundsen.
