General Reyes left Bogota suddenly
in the early pire of June, 1909, while
president of that country. There had
been considerable dissatisfaction with
his actions while president and one re-
port when he fled was that he had TAX
en- s2O,000,0O0 in money and a large
quantity of jewelry with him. For a
time congress threateued to punish
him for leaving the country without
the consent of that body, but in the
latter part of June General Reyes

traordinary situation of recent years
confronted congress early today. With
double filibuster promised in tho
senate, and the house standing like
a rock against state claims" in the
general deficiency bill. leaders could
not forecast whethers congress would
end tonight or continue week.
George w. Perkins will not testify to-
morrow, as had been arranged, before
the committee investigating campaign
funds. The tangle over the adjourn
ment of congress made it impossible
for the committee to get a quorum,
and the appearance of Perkins has
been indefinitely postponed.

Senator Chamberlain or Oregon to-
day abandoned his filibuster against
the adjournment of congress on the
provision that the deficiency bill car

a factor to be reckoned with, for she

AS for the effect on home life, |
don't think there will be a material
change. Aside from the servant oues-
ton, which is for more important
than the question of whether woman
should vote or not, woman that
wants home will have a home. Even
at that, If she wants to vote, become
broader through public contact with
important events and national affairs,
and becomes interesting in general l
can't see where the world is wrong
to suffer such a shock. A woman who
is homeless or childless should not be
put on a shelf as worthless Some
are far more equipped for general
usefulness after having passed the
thirty year mark than when emerging
from their teens.
l know one woman in England
whose wealth would permit her to
have every care of her eight children
attended to by servants and maids,
yet she gives part of her time to
suffrage, has been jailed for the cause,
and yet attends to all her children
herself and fairly worships them.
OF course there are some men
who neglect their homes, or would

Business of Woman's Clubs.
Take the womans clubs, for in

low sports, so to speak, the golf links
boating, motoring, etc, and have 9TH

mestic woman simply live on in idle,
ness? That is the blessing of clubs
! A woman may have any number o.
! children, who in time marry or leave
home. 1t is a godsend that such a
woman should have a club to relieve
the mcnotony of merely living in the
past. No, l do not believe woman's

of a few beliefs to the contrary.
In the past a woman could not take

No Street FIusher.
The cost of $35 for flushing four
squares was considered SO low that
the board did not believe it necessary
to buy a street flusher at this time.
The fire department will be furnish
ed with a new hose and the old one
will be given over to the street de-
partment for flushing streets and sew

would be S1,100 and it would cost ap-

Commissioner Gem the work at this
time of year is very disagreeable as
the water is very cold and the work
has to be done at night. "1t is very
hard to find men who will work all

GIRLS SHOULD NOT
MARRY BEFORE 80
Mrs. Gertrude Atherton Fix
es Best Age to Wed-De-
fends Club Life.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 14.-Mrs.
Gertrude Atherton, the famous novel
list, believes that girls should not
marry until they are from % to 80,
and men from 80 to 35. She also de-
clares that the present evolutionizing
and expanding sphere of a woman's
activity will not materially impair the
functions of home, nor lessen the in
fiuence of romance upon the lives OF
men and women.
Mrs. Atherton is recognized as one
of the most brilliant literary women
of her time, and the long series of
novels she has written has won her
international fame. She is a traveller
close observer of modern life in
America and abroad, and a deep stud
ent of the present-day problems, es-
pecially those concerning her sex.
In the following article Mrs. Ather-
ton, who is at present in southern
California, presents her interesting
views of woman and her place in the
world today:
l think the tendency of the modern
woman is greater and greater lean
ing toward independence. The mod
ern woman perhaps will not marry
unless she be woman who wants a
family. Heretofore, in years gone by,
woman was taught by tradition to be-
lieve the elimination of ideal woman
hood was marriage-an ideal that has
undergone a vast change within the
last ten years. 1t is a sort of natural
climax brought on by modern evolu.
ton of, well, say commercialism, per.
haps.
The strife of livelihood makes nee
essary the securing of employment by
girls and women. They are simply
compelled to support themselves
condition that is as much of an ideal
! is why they won't marry simply fol
the sake of being supported. A wo
man, of course, whose soul is yearning
for home, naturally will marry
earlier than girl whose sole ambi
tion impels the seeking of a career
whether it be art, music, the stage
or any other goal. To me it seems
there is nothing more tragic than fol
a woman who is not domestically in
clined, has no particular yearning:
toward motherhood, whose innermos
soul strives for perhaps caree
where her individuality can assert it
self, to be shackled by wedlock ant
her ambition and talent die of inan
ition. Yet these same women will d.
their sacred duty and live on will
men whose evening homecoming il
dreaded by a days toll where busines
exhausts them.
| believe careers are open to a yer,
great number of women that hereto
fore were denied them, due solely t
this so-called feminine movement
Matrimony has been the ideal for s
many years that woman has been le
to believe marriage was the apex O
: are many families where happines
is not what it should be, where neitl
, er the wives nor husbands are happy
) to say nothing of the children.
} Domesticity Tends to Dwarf.
Now they find their walks of lif
/ where they will develop interest an
comfort. Man wants a variety i
: nant; the same should apply to tn
= wife, for certainly domesticity wi
| have a tendency to dwarf as muc
: as business office. That is why
believe woman is becoming more c
