OREGON NEXT FOR EQUAL sUF-
FRAGE.

II can be safely said that the year
1912 will be an important one in the
political history Of Oregon as there
10 every reason to believe the people
Of the state will declare for woman's
suffrage next November. This mat
ter has long been before the people
and too long delayed, and II 1t sue
ceeds this fau 1t will prove the grow
ing intelligence OF those who vote on
the question, The subject has, for
years, been considered In an educa-
tlonal way and 1t may be assumed
that in this record year It has reach
cd the highest point in the political
history OF this commonwealth.
There are many reasons why the
mothers and daughters OF Oregon
should be enfranohIsed. It will place
every community on a higher plane.
politically, and as a consequence will
add to the character OF our citizen
ship and better general conditions in
the entire state. The women have
equal responsibility with men In all
matters which tell for betterlng the
conditions Of the human race and,
therefore, equal suffrage advances
politics in the municipality. in the
county and In the state generally.
1t is pleasing to note that ladies
OF Grants Pass have taken up this
subject and will thereby, help the
good work Of equal suffrage along In
a manner becoming, not only to
Grants Pass but Josephine county.
There are many bright women here
to who will devote themselves TO the
cause by writing and speaking. and
when they do this the men who cast
the ballot will do so more intelligent
ly than ever before. Every fair
minded man will admit that the wo-

Betty had crushed the letter in her
hand. She did not envy her sister the
possibility of happiness that seemed about
to open before her, only-how hard life
had been to her: How bitterly hard
life had been to the man who loved her!

He wondered afterwards at the ex-
element which had swept tact and or

away on its tide relentlessly. He had
given no thought to the dead woman
to her reputation, to her relationship to
the two people who were to benefit so in
timately by her death. He only knew
that here in his hand he held, in this
closely written set of four quarto pa ges,
the key that would unlock the Gates of
Silence and let innocent man go free.
He never forgot-he never tired of tell
ing it in after years-how the girl, flushed
little with sleep, with shining eyes, had
come out from the cell-like room that had
been her voluntary prison-never forgot,
he never tired of telling how bTavely,
how magnifcently she had received the
news of Deborah Rimington's confession.

little mystic, who was the woman in the

street on the night Fitzstephen, the
money-lender, was murdered.
All that had happened there that night
had happened with the strange ease and
simplicity which so frequently cling about
the events Of great tragedies. Mrs Rim
ngton had set down her share in the oc-
currence of that night In a style of lucid
simplicity which must have been Dor

punishment he deserved Toby Riming-

NOTED SCIENTIST DELEGATES HIS
. BODY TO CAUSE OF HUMANITY

men of note have given their brains
for scientific study, but gift of the
entire body for mutilation toward this
end has created widespread interest
in the medical fraternity.
DR.. MCGEE had corresponded long
ago with DR.. SpitZka concerning the
use of his brain, but had provided in
the will that Col. RiZer should deter
mine to what institution the rest of
the body should be given. Col. Rizer
consulted with many physicians of
note, and was advised that Jefferson
College was as we'll equipped to do
anatomical work as probably any
other in this country. He then wrote
DR.. Spitzka for advice.
When this specialist confirmed the
statements of the other members of
the medical fraternity, Col. Rizer took
his information to DR.. MCGEE, and the
latter, with the Same calmness with
which he had bequeathed the master
portion of his body to the surgeons
knife, willed away the rest to the
same end
While Col. Rizer expects no protest
to be raised against the carrying out
of his orders. it has been suggested
that DR.. McGee's family may protest
This is not thought probable, howev-
err, as the scientists wife is herself a
noted physician, having been before
her marriage Anita Newcomb, a
daughter of the late Prof. Simon
Newcomb, lecturer in hygiene at
the University of California, and
widely known to the scientific world.

the Kalihi district yesterday afternoon
that easily might have turned out a
great deal worse than it did.

Alex. Rice, the 1Oyear-old son of John
Rice, ran out of the front gate of his
home and started across the street
toward the mail carrier to get letter.
At that moment he was struck by the
motorcycle ridden by the two gentle
men named above, and was thrown Sc
verely to the ground. The riders

DR.. MCGEE, for years connected in
various capacities with different de-

had been suffering for several years
with cancer. While this disease was
rapidly spreading and consuming his
vitality, he found it necessary more

DR.. MCGEE in 1894 went into Thu

to study a tribe of cannibal Indians,
never before studied, and for several
years was in charge of the American
bureau of ethnology Since 1907 he
