DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
FEAR LOSING WOMEN VOTES

man to act as head of the advisory
committee. Miss Boardman, who is
a close friend of the Taft family, has
decided not to enter into the campaign
owing to her position as head of the
American Red Cross society.
The Bull Moose" party is by no
means depending alone on its woman
suffrage plank to attract female votes.
They have opened a national women's
organization in the Metropolitan Tow
er, with Miss Alice Carpenter, prom
inent advocate of equal rights in
charge, and the work of organiZaniz-
ing state clubs is rapidly under way.
Miss Carpenter has submitted plan
of organization prepared by the wo-
men members of the National commit
tee of the Progressive party, which
has been approved. According to this
plan each state and each county COM
mittee is to have at least one woman
member. They are to be attached to
the party headquarters and work with
the committee shoulder to shoulder.
Their special work will be enlisting
women in the campaign, and parti-
cularly getting suffrage workers out
to spellbind for the Progressives.
Joy reigns throughout the suffra-
gette camps throughout the country.
The leaders are enthusiastic over the
present situation, and while they ad-
NIT the election of any presidential
candidate they may support will not
in, PRO fhr011oDnI1t IN a
country, they claim that the recogni-
ton of the movement by the big po-
litical parties will have a strong NOR
al effect on Fastening the constitu-
tional amendments in the various
states throughout the union, providing
for equal suffrage.
The attitude of the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association in
the coming campaign will be strictly
non-partisan, according to the Wo-
mans Journal, the official organ of
the organization. 1t claims that the
association will work for no man or
no party at the polls, but will try to
defeat it's enemies. Thus, the friendly
attitude of the party leaders.
Despite THIS declaration OF the ma
tional organization, many of it's mosA
prominent members are openly work
ing for the Bull Moose" party, at
tracted, no doubt, by the woman stuff
rage plank. Miss Jane AddAms, one
of the pioneers in this organization,
seconded Colonel Roosevelt's nomina-
ton at the convention of the Progress
siye party in Chicago.
Besides the six states which have
already granted equal suffrage, there
are four states in which this question
will be submitted to the voters in the
fall election, namely, Oregon, Kansas,
Michigan and Wisconsin. On Septem-
Der 3, Ohio will decide this question
when it votes on the adoption of it's
new constitution.

A Practice tho English Judge Did His

The following remarkable judgment
was delivered some years ago by a
magistrate in one OF the English colo

court was in the act Of mounting into
its buggy came from behind and, seiz-
ing the courts dangling leg. the other
foot being on the step, forcibly pulled
back the court, frightened the horse
and nearly caused an accident. The
reason alleged for this by accused is
that he wanted to hear the result of an
application of his. The practice by Pc
titioners of pulling the courts by the
legs is one that should be discouraged.

Strange to relate, the lieutenant gov
ernor of the province on reading this
sentence felt it necessary to intimate
TO the magistrate that neither the SEN
tence itself nor the peculiar phraseolo-
gy In which it was couched was calcu-
lated to meet with approval from minds
running in Legal grooves.

What Nuisance They Are.
That American husbands are q drag

made in London paper on the author

After stating that American women
are considera bly, in the majority among
Transatlantic visitors this summer and
declaring that the fact is not without
interest as marking the degree of self
reliance and confidence with which
American women face an extended for
eign tour without a male escort and
sometimes without even the compan-
ionship Of woman friend. the paper
quotes an American woman whose hus-
band is the head of big furniture
as saying that she learned more about
England this season during a fortnight
alone than she had done in half dozen
previous visits under the ciceronage Of
her husband. She added:

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Is
Woman, lovely woman, is fast gaining
equal political recognition with mere
man." The coming campaign will
witness the unprecedented spectacle
of the three leading presidential can
didates making an earnest plea for
female votes. While the Progressive
party is the only one that has incor-
porated a plank for woman suffrage in
it's platform, both the Republican and
Democratic leaders are establishing
national organizations with women at
their head for the purpose of attract
ing the female vote in the six states
that have already granted equal stuff
rage, and for the moral effect it may
have on the male voters in other
states, where this question has become
burning issue.
The voter will not only be treated
to the unusual spectacle of an ex-
president trying for a third term at
the head of new party, but will have
the pleasure of seeing and hearing
female spellbinders who will stump
the country in support of their favor
ite candidates.
Colorado, California, Idaho, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming are the six
states in the union that have already
given women the right to vote, and
it is estimated that there are SOC, 900
female voters in these states. So
formidable a number has to be reckon
ed with even by presidential candi-
date. When Colonel Roosevelt swept
the state of California in the presiden-
tial primaries last spring, the female
vote it was claimed was responsible
for his enormous majority. The states
above mentioned have IS votes out
of a total of 531 in the electoral
college.
Active work has already been begun
by the various presidential candidates
to capture these votes. The Women's
National Wilson and Marshall organi-
zation with Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman
at the head, has opened it's headquar-
tiers in the Fifth Avenue Building,
New York, and the work of forming
state organizations is being rapidly
conducted. Governor Wilson's three
daughters, and Mrs. Thomas Gore,
wife of the senator from Oklahoma,
are a few of the other prominent wo-
men connected with the Democratic
campaign.
The Republican organization, not to
be outdone, has announced the ap-
pointment of Miss Helen Boswell, of
New York, as chairman of the Wo-
mems League for the reelection of
President Taft, woman's auxiliary
organization to work for the Republi-
can organization in the equal suffrage
states. Miss Boswell is president of
the National Women's Republican or
ganization. The Republicans, how
ever, have received a setback, owing
to the refusal of Miss Mabel Board

Their History Rich In Events Of Con-
sequence to the Nation.
The south is especially rich in points
OF historic consequence. remarks a
writer In Leslie's Weekly. At the out
set Virginia was the most populous as
well as the most powerful Of all the
states. As "the mother of president"
she practically gave the law to the
country from the accession of Wash
ington in 1859 to the retirement Of
Monroe In 1925, except during the four
years OF John Adams in the presidency.
In the next third Of a century, with
its Hayne, Calhoun. McDuffie and 9th
er statesmen Of large influence, South
Carolina was the center of events in
the nation. Texas, with its boundary
dispute with Mexico. precipitated the
war between the latter and the United
States, in which by conquest and pur-
chase we obtained Arizona. New Mex
leo, Utah. Nevada. California and parts
Of Colorado and Wyoming. The neces-
sity for the contro! of the mouth OF
the Mississippi melted the negotia ton
with France which resulted in the an
nexation of the province of louisiana,
by which the area Of the United States
was doubled and ali subsequent aces

A FRENCH CALENDAR.
Ths Ono That Was Adopted During
the Revolution.

stsS shSSSiaAsobs
In the French revolution the ma
tional convention adopted q new cal
endar containing twelve months of
thirty days each. The FIVE days in the
year thus left were disposed Of by
making them festivals" The months
were named not January, February,
ETC., but Vendemaire, Brumaire, Fri
marie. Nivose, Pluviose, yentose, Ger
minal, Floreal, Prairial. Messidor,
Thermidor and Fructidor.
Each of these names had a meaning.
Instead Of naming a month meaning
lessly after a heather god, as we name
January after Janus and March after
Mars, the names represented the spe-
cial characteristics of the month.
Fructidor. for instance, which includes
part Of what we call September, means
1.-THE fruity month";" Germinal, the first
Of the spring months, running from the
last OF March to the middle of April.
means "the month of buds" and Flo
real which follows 1t, the "fowery" or
'.foweral" month.
Thermdor, which means the "hot
month" is the month which under the
republican calendar included part Of
July and part OF August The political
significance Of the word arises from
the fact that the revolution which
overthrow Robespierre and ended the
reign of terror occurred on the 9th
OF the month Of Thermidor, or. as we
should say, July 81, 1794. 1t was call
ed ''the revolution Of Thermidor," as
we speak Of 'the September massa-

named 'sThermidorians" The inventor

TOMB IN A TOWER.
A Remarkable Edifiee, the Whim Of Q
Wealthy Tea Planter.

Wealthy Tea. Planter.
Near the well known seaport of
Southampton. England. there IS re-
markable edifce known as Petersen's
tower The erection is all the more sim
gular because 1t marks the burying
place of a certain John Petersen, a
wealthy tea planter.
The man appears to have been rath-
err an eccentric individual, and in Or
der to prove to the world his belief in
concrete as a building material set
about the construction Of this great
tower. The building took many years
to complete. but is entirely of con-
crete and by the time the final layers
had been placed had reached an alu-
tude Of more than 800 feet 1t is about
forty years since the tower was erect
ed. and its present condition is certain
~ justification of the faith of the
builder.
As has been indicated. Petersen left
instructions that his body should be
placed under the tower, and this was
accordingly carried out. Another de-
sire that the chamber at the summit
should contain light was defeated by
the firm stand which Trinity House.
the lighthouse authority. took on the
matter. Such an illumination would
have been visible for miles out to sea
and would naturally have proved very
misleading to sailors.-Scientinc Amer
