Women in Politics.

The bugaboo Of women in politics has
been laid to rest; nobody can ever be
scared by II again. The terrible evils that
were TO result did not materialiZe From
the time they entered the Progressive
convention in Chicago, with brass bands
and flying banners, down to the last hours
of election night. when In many parts OF
the country they shared the vigiis of
those who counted the votes, they have
received only courtesy and welcome The
close Of this long and exciting campaign
finds women collectively enjoying greater
respect and consideration than ever be-
fore, possessing far more influence,
compelling recognition as political fac
tor always hereafter TO be reckoned with.
They could vote for lifetime without
the publicity they have had during the
last months, and the most OF them, II
they could express their preferences by
the silent method OF the ballot, would
be glad TO avoid the public demonstration.
This is especially true OF those who are
making the fight for the suffrage, and
the quickest and surest way to make Il
possible for women TO resume their
place" at home is to enable them TO sub
stitute the ballot itself for the agitation

SUFFRAGISTS WIN
PERMANENT VICTORY
Vote Now Assured to Women in Four
More States-Sad Plight Of
the "Antis"

hostility Of the party machines needs
no explanation. They are struggling now
to save something out OF the wreck al
ready caused by the revolt of politically
decent men, and If women are to have
hand they feel that they might just as
well open the gasolene tank and strike
match.
These are the principal forces that have
prevented woman suffrage for more than
generation-all others by comparison
are negligible-and their opposition is
simply a struggle for existence. The
latest element to enter the contest. how
ever, is so absolutely without an excuse
for being that one scarcely knows how
TO discuss II. 1t Is conceivable that an
individual woman might not want any
voice In the government even OF her own
community. but that a number Of such
women should actually organize and work
to prevent all other women from obtain
ing this privilege is almost beyond COM
prehension.
Thanks to the American spirit Of humor
this movement has been largely regarded
as joke, but the position OF those women
to-day really calls for sympathy. Four
states on last Tuesday conferred the COM
plete franchise on women; one last year
and one the year preceding, and in four
others they have possessed this right for
many years. In the daily papers. sharing
the full prominence of other election re-
turns. are dispatches from all OF those
states telling Of the vast numbers OF
women who went to the polls, OF the In
telligence and discrimination with which
they cast their ballots, and of~the respect
and enthusiasm with which they were
everywhere greeted. The question OF
woman suffrage is forever settled, and
now let US draw the veil Of charity over
the women "antis' and permit them I'M
noticed to pass into oblivion.

Americans Are Confident

New York, June 9.--Confident that the showing made both east and west in the Olympic try-outs yesterday coupled with the Pacific coast records, spells the most sweeping victory Americans have made in the Olympic games. The members of the American team selection committee will meet here tomorrow to pick 60 lead CTS in the score of athletic speeialties on the Stockholm programme.
 Matthew Halpin, manager of the team, who has twice been abroad with Ameri- can athletes said upon his return from Boston today:
 You can't make it any too strong. We shall be invincible."
 This confidence was echoed by every one who has followed the weeks of prep ration for the games. The preliminaries came to a climax yesterday with new marks y Linberg of Chicago for 400 meters; by Kiviat of New York and Pat terson of Chicago for the 1500 meters; by Kramer of the Long Island Athletic club for the 10000 meters and the sensational role vault record of 1S feet 214 inches by Wright of Dartmouth.
 The record of Horine the high jumping marvel of the Pacific coast at six feet, seven inches the wonderful discus, the throwing by Duncan of New York and numerous other marvellous performances give the American which will meet all cOlnefS dl ClOCkHOilii, dl iSdoi SiA icN Olympic records in the events c1 the Stockholm programme and near records in practically all the other Athletic events
 The preliminary showing is in remark able contrast to the English try-outs where only fair times and distances were made and the Canadian tryouts yester- day in which no records were either broken or equaled.
 The combined Olmpic teams will appear in New York for the first time at Amer ican league park on Wednesday, 4S hours before embarking for Stockholm. It was announced today that H. P.

 Julian Murphy in the Atlanta Jour nal says: Every club in the South ern league has been seen in action in this city and none appears to have the class of the Birmingham Barons"
 All of which is very good, and we thank you.
 Mir Murphy however, very wisely declines to predict that the Barons will win the pennant. He says with truth that the Memphis Turtles are strong, and that Chattanooga and Atlanta are strengthening.
 We think the Barons will win the pennant We think this because in virtue of their lead and their ability they should

Bay Minette, June 9.-(Special,)-A deal has been consummated whereby the firm os Kirk & Mcconnell have purchased 4ooc acres of fine hardwood timber near Latham in the northern end of the coun- ty, which they are going to cut up and put on the market. They are now con structng min on the river at Tensaw for the purpose of turning out the tim ber and will push the work of construc- ton with allepossibe haste and endeavor tc have the mill in operation by the end of ninety days.
 The company expects to give employ ment to more than 100 men for the next five years. the mill costing in the neigh borhood of s25.0O0 and being large enough to keep big force at work all the time The location of the mill at that place viii mean an increased population in the town and much to the land owners in that locality.

SOUTHEASTERN RACE WAKES
 STRONG AND SENSATIONAL
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

The winner of the first pennant in the Southeastern league is to be decided this week. The pennant fight will close on June 19, just nine days off However the real winner will probably be decided this week. At the present time five clubs have a chance to win Selma has per haps the better chance to cop the rag
 Selma has played 45 games, 25 out of that number having been won. Annis- ton has copped the same number of games. Rome follows. having played fl, of which number 2s have been victories. Bessemer is fourth. having played 4s. winning 22 and losing 24 Gadsden fol- lows closely with 2f victories and g de. feats. Huntsville is practically elimi- mated from the race, for if the team should take every game that will be played this season it's percentage will be a few points over .53o. However. this may win the race.
 The Winner Uncertain
 Every game will count in the race. Bessemer has chance to cop the rag. Eleven more games are scheduled to be played. Five of this number will be played with Huntsville at Huntsville. Three games are scheduled to be played at Selma and one series of three games with the Selma crew at home.
 Selma has the best chance to win the pennant Of the 12 games to be played nine are to be played at home How ever. Annston is to play six of this num- Der with the Selma club. This should be some series On the last three days of the race five games are scheduled to be played and the two pennant contend CTS are opponents.
 Bessemer Going Good
 Bessemer is going nicely at the present time. Last week the Pipemakers played seven games and won five out of tha! number. Manager Hickman has recov- cred from his recent illness and pitched a good game last week. Fry showed mag njficent form last week while Baker is going nicely. Williams seems to be a triie of color. However Robertson may be signed and that boy is good twirler
 The Bessemer team, however, is never very effective unless "Jawn" Cochran and Andy Ramaee age right. Cochran ant Ramage practically compose the hitting strength of the Bessemer team. Should Cochran be right. Ressemer has goot chance to land the rag. If the twirlers go right. Selma will have a very hart time defeating Bessemer.
 Another Important Series This afternoon Gadsden and Annistor play a most important series It would cause little surprise should Gadsden talk two of the three games Kane and Fries will do the burden of the pitching an6 both are very fine twirlers. Gray Hi! is mighty effective when he is right an; the first battle will be hard one. Lei welt has been twirling good ball whil'

 UMPIRING SYSTEM

New Orleans. June Slowing to a ma- terial increase in attendance shown by several of the Southern league cities, the umpire stan of the league will not be reduced from eight to six men, for ths present. at least. according to a state- ment given out by President Kayanaugn here tonight.

RACE FOR PENNANT
 IS VERY EXCITING IN THE SOUTHEASTERN

Have you ever heard of John Luby'
 Some years ago, many perhaps he was a member of the slab corps oi the Chicago Cubs.
 It is said that he won 20 games in row.
 II is not our purpose this morning to cast shadow of doubt about the work of Mister Luby. We do not know that this increditable record is really increditable. But we do not believe that the light thrown on the situation is sufficiently strong 10 cause us to rally to the support of the claim or his descendants.
 He might have won % straight games. And then he might have won none of them.
 In 1904, however, Jack Chesbro won Ii consecutive victories. This Is true. This is not only true but can be proved.
 chesbro's record has never been beaten. But 1t has been equalled. In 1909 Ed Reulbach won IA consecutive victories.
 This was comparatively recent. We remember how we watched the strug- gle of Reulbach following his tenth straight victory When he turned his eleventh there was more discussion Then he won his twelfth. Then he turned his thirteenth Then, loi he had his fourteenth trial and came out with banners flying.
 He had equalled the record of the world.
 Some days later he attempted to out Chesbro Jack
 He didn't. The fight was close but Reulbach was beaten.
 Since then there has been compar- ative peace in the majors. At the pres ent time, however. every eye is turned toward MT. Marquard, for that young gentleman has just won his twelfth straight victory.
 From his last reports he Is going strong He will win again this week, it is probable. And should he win a second time this week he will have pushed himself forward to the rank occupied exclusively by Chesbro and Reulbach
 And should he equal the record he will go out for a new. There Is req son to believe that he will succeed. For the phenomenal "quince" of sum mer or two ago is now a peach of most delicious flavor
 We know that Chesbro and Reulbach won J4 consecutive victories. But we do not know at the present time wheth- CT or not, prior to their achievements, they had encountered defeat.
 Mir Marquard has not been beaten this year
 The ouestion is often asked: Should a college man play baseball?" It all depends on the character of the indi- vidual He should play if he desires if he can save money. He will have the opportunity.

BASEBALL GOSSIP

New orleans Is coming from the rear with rapidity Yesterday the Billikens were trounced twice. This helps the Pelicans up into higher company, The addition of Weaver, Griffin, Stanley and Swann seems to have helped wonder fully Frank will chase the Barons again it would seem. The Pelicans are now flying over 300.
 Charley Frank is to be feared.
 The Volunteer fans are crying for new blood Schwartz seems to be un- able to win with his bunch. Perry seems destined to go; another receiver as wanted; two more twirlers are want ed. while the addition of an outfielder may be expected. A repetition of the Crackers case of last season is feared. It is probable that Schwartz will strengthen.
 With the return of Nap Lajoie to the game, Cleveland has picked up and 1t would seem that the Maps will be among the leaders. The White SoX have started to losing consistently, while the Boston Red Sox have also tottered. Washington continues to stay fin first division. while the Athletics are at the 500 mark.
 From a reliable source comes the news that Callahan and Walsh have disagreed and that Walsh Is anxious to work elsewhere. It has been report cd that Hal Chase and Russell Ford of the New York Highlanders are to be- come White Sox. while Walsh and Fielder are to become Highlanders' The White Sox need a good first sacker, while the Highlanders are in dire need of winning twirler.
 
 Clark Griffith has gathered together a likely bunch of ball players at Wash fngton and now 1t seems that the say ing, "washington, first in war; first fin peace and last in the American league" will be forgotten He re- gently secured Gandil from the Inter- national for four players and few thousand dollars. Gandil is putting up fine game at first, while Foster, on j third base. and Moeler in right field have developed. into wonderful play CTS for newcomers.
 
 Walter Johnson is going nicely while Griffith seems to have unearthed few neat twirlers to fill in. The Senators won four straights from the Chicago White Sox last week. The Senators now occupy third place.
 Rafael Almeida has slumped in bat ting during the past week. but stil the Cuban is slugging near the .40t mark Since Tuesday, when Almeida secured a single off Boehling, the Cubar has failed to connect safely with tho sphere. However, the outfielders have been chased hard and robbed the stai of many a neat swat.
 However even If he is hitting but 40e he is likely to hold his job.
 
 Last year at this time the Barons were strugggllng in third place. The Pelicans were leading by a nice mar gin while Montgomery was ranking second The Barons had a percentage of 4s7. having won 24 and lost 25 The Pelicans led with percentage oi .6S7. That was last year. R. A. L.
