some women say that they do not
wish to puddle in the filthy pool of poll
tics. but at the same time they live
with the same men who make that
poor filthy"
Thus spoke Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, a
we'll known equal suffragist and club
woman. speaking in the interest of
equal suffrage at meeting of the w.
C. T. U at the home of Mrs H H.
Hall, 831 North Quincy street, Thursday
afternoon.
Mrs. Monroe also told how the en-
reimbursement of women would make
them study laws, how legal knowledge,
especially as to probate court matters,
which dealt mostly with women and
children, was and would be more and
more essential for women. She also told
that a brewers publication urged the
opposing of equal suffrage in Kansas
as votes for women would be harmful
to the liquor interests. Her speech in
part follows:
"One of the greatest benefits of the
enfranchisement of women would be
her awakening to civic interests. After
the Colorado women were given the
vote, the Colorado state librarian told
me that the libraries could not keep up
with the demand for women for texts
on civics, municipal government, Htera-
ture as to the city beautiful legal
general.
Women are often ignorant % laws
and civicS. But without the right to
vote, which gives them the use of these
laws they have not much more incen-
tive to study such things than man to
study domestic science, because he
never intends to cook.
'EDreadfulIy UnIadyliIze to Vote.''
"A great many women think it
'dreadfu11y unlady1ike' to be inter
ested in law or the ballot. One day
was saying to some women that the
choice of being administrator to her
husbands estate. One of the women
said:
=" Would you be an administrator? I
wouldn't. think it would be dreadful
ly unladylike' Yet without warning,
by the death of her husband, a woman
is apt to be left in charge of an estate,
and if she is ignorant of the laws, of
property rights, she is hopelessly at sea.
AS time goes on and the race for SUI
premacy grows more strenuous, it will
become necessary for every woman to
know about these things whether they
use the ballot or not. In one state,
Colorado, where women vote, 80 laws
have been put on the statute books by
women. The majority of the laws are
beneficial to children.
"An ex-governor of Colorado, speak
ing of these laws. told me that he had
opposed equal suffrage, but since he
found the good accomplished thereby,
he has favored it.
Brewers Oppose Equal Suffrage.
kansas prides itself on being pro-
hibition state. Let me tell you that a
brewers magazine urged its readers to
work against equal suffrage in Kansas.
An article in the magazine stated that
if women got the vote in Kansas, it
would be fatal for the liquor interests

fish CLUB
ORGANIZES
The Montgomery Fish
Club Organized Sat-
urddy Afternoon.
Judge French Elected President,
Mr.. J. C. Cooper SeC'Y-TreaS.

: About 120 of the most promi-
nent citizens in this city and coun-
ty met at the courthouse Saturday
afternoon and organized The
Montgomery Fish Club. The
purpose of this club is to protect
the ponds and streams in this
county and to assist in every way
possible in enforcing the laws rel
alive to seining, dynamiting, and
other unlawful ways of catching
fish.
The meeting was called to order
by Hon. H. r. Prewitt, who in
a brief talk, told what the club
was being organized for and
urged the farmers of this county
to cooperate with the city in en-
forcing the fishing laws. Judge
H. r. French and j. Clay Cooper
were unanimously elected Presi-
dent and Secretary Treasurer, re-
spectfully.
The club offered a reward of
$25 for the arrest and conviction
of each person proven guilty of
dynamiting the Rayborn pond last
week.
The following were elected the
Board of Directors: Messrs. H.
G. Howell, j. G. Cooper, G. H.
Petry, P. r. Cockrell, James w.
Anderson, A. r. Turley, w. A.
Samuels, Mart Wells, William
Scobee, John w. Lockridge and
Judge B. F. Day.
The President appointed G. H.
Petry, r. G. Kern and E. w.
Senff to draft a set of bylaws and
report at next meeting. This
committee is to also select a vice
president from each precinct in
the county outside of the city.
The President was requested by
the members to write the new
State Game Warden (which will be
appointed before the next meeting)
asking him to be present at the
meeting so that the members
of this club can better cooperate
with him in the enforcement of
the fishing laws.
The next meeting of the club
will be held at the courthouse, Sat-
urday, June %.
The organization of this club
was made possible through the
personal efforts of Mr.. j. Clay
Cooper and Mayor w. A. Samuels
vino have worked increasingly in
securing members. A club like
this has been badly needed here
for a long time and if the good
people of this county will cooper
ate with them much good will be
accomplished and it will only be a
few years until the streams of this
county will again abound with the
finny tribe in abundance.

Father Of his Country.
There are IN Washington many
women and men who make study of
the work of discovering objects which
have historic interest and it is their
endeavor to save them either by con-
gressional action or by private sub
scription. They make use of the print

and by reading old papers, magazines
and documents they make many

!. 1raddock's Rock Marked.
Not long ago it was discovered that
what is known as Braddock's Rock
was unmarked. This was the rock
on which General Braddock landed at
Georgetown when he was on his way
with George Washington as lieuten-
ant overland to meet the French in
western Pennsylvania, an expedition
In which Braddock was defeated, the
remnant Of his forces being saved by
the generalshlp or Washington. This
rock has now been marked, an inter-
est in its marking being taken by
James Bryce, the British ambassador,
who was present on the occasion.
AS fast as it can be done, the old
houses which have historic interest
are being marked with bronze tablets
bearing inscriptions to show in what
their chief interest lies. 1t has been
feared always that the needs of bust
ness would make the destruction Of
old landmarks inevitable, but the
Washington people who are interested
In preservation matters seem to be
just as much alive to the work as were
the Boston people who insisted that
the Old South church and the Old
North church should be saved when
It was proposed that they be demol-
1shed to make room for commercial
houses, 1t is said that in Boston

Famous Washington Churches.
The most famous church in Wash.
1ngton Is the ancient Saint Johns Of
the Protestant Episcopal communion,
situated on Lafayette square. It Is
an old building and long since It's
congregations have outgrown the edi-
nee, but there Is no present Intention
OF the parish authorities to move else
where or to demolish the structure.
st. Johns Is the church which Mrs,
Taft attends and which was attended
by Mrs Roosevelt and, prior to the
Roosevelt administration, by many
presidents and their families.
One of the oldest Roman Catholic
churches in Washington was Saint
Mathews, which was situated at Fif-
teenth and H streets. The congrega-
ton outgrew its quarters and after a
good many heart-burnings and consid-
cradle opposition the old building was
given up and a new one was built on
Rhode Island avenue. The original
property was sold and there now
stands on its site great structure
known as the Southern buildings in
which are located the Headquarters Of
the organization devoted to the devel-
ppment of the natural and business
resources Of the southern states.
There are other old edifces in
Washington which have been written
about time and again and probably
the publicity has helped in saving
them from destruction, for Washing
ton business men realize that the
more attractions in a historic way
the city has the greater will be the

buildings which have been preserved
by a popular sentiment are the homes
