Sheppard for Suffrage

Replying to Mrs. J. S. Sween-
ey, chairman of the press com
mittee of the Galveston Suffrage
Association, Senator M orris
Sheppard of Texas, wrote the
following; Il am in favor of
woman suffrage properly safe
guarded, because | think the
right Of suffrage inheres in wo.
man. AS to whether she may
desire to exercise the suffrage
after it shall have been granted
is question for each individual
woman to decide, If she de-
sires to vote, the right to do so
should certainly be granted her.
| am not prepared from the pres
ent lights before me to support
a federal amendment compelling
all the states to adopt woman
suffrage, My conviction is that
each state should settle this mat
ter for itself and in view of its
own conditions. " - Woman 5

into roar. People sprang into rapid
and violent motion, as though re.
leased from a physical lethargy.
"All over?" asked the reporter. He
asked it in loud shout.
"All over" replied Darrow. "You
don't need to yell. I'm not deaf"
The reporter grinned.
II guess that's what everybody
else in town is doing" he surmised.
Certainly this remark was justified
by the sample in the square. Every
man was shouting at his neighbor tc
the lung-straining limit Of his abil
ity. Three exhorters, their eyes
ablaze with fanaticism, began to
thunder forth dire warnings Of the
wrath to come-and gained hearing.
Men rushed to and fro aimlessly.
The gentleman with the side-whiskers
who looked like the caricatures of
the trusts, having at last succeeded
in making his imperial wishes known,
clambered into a taxicab and sat
back, apparently unimpressed. After
moment the driver recovered suf1-
GENTLY to fall into the habit Of ODE
dience and 80 drove away.
While the three men watched, a
burly individual with red face came
hurtling directly at them. If they had
not lodged to one side, they would
have suffered collision.
"The end Of the world is at hand!"
this man was shrieking. Repent! Re-
pent!"

ed the reporter, with grin. "He

Sidewalk Sketches
By Howard l.. Ram
COLUMBUS.

This is the 4O7th anniversary of the
untimely death of Christopher Column
bus, who discovered America when
there was nothing worth discovering
here except the unbathed red man and
the lythe form of the cholera morbus.
Columbus couldn't have chosen a
poorer time to discover this country.
Nobody knows why he didn't wait I'm
til somebody had opened hotel or a
saloon, where he could be received
with pomp and rendered rising vote
of thanks, but when Columbus made
up. his mind to discover anything he
went right out and hung the Spanish
flag on it.
II it had not been for Queen Isabella
Of Spain who pawned several of her
wedding presents in order to buy ships
for Columbus, America would never
have been discovered up to the present
writing and the people of foreign lands
would still believe that the earth is
constructed on the order of a graphic
phone record. The American invasion
would also have been postponed for
several years with great unanimity.
As not many people cared at that
time whether America was discovered
or not, Columbus had to hire lot of
sailors who we're not enthusiastic

about getting anywhere in particular
and who mutinied number Of times
in a fervent and unbiased manner,
making it necessary for Columbus to
bury few of the ringleaders in order
to promote harmony. The shotgun
with which Columbus pacified the mu-
tineers is now on exhibition in several
Spanish museums, and can be seen by
tourists who have the price of admis-
sion.
Columbus made several trips after
striking this continent, but did not sue
coed in discovering anything that at
fterward got into the Biographies. King
Ferdinand did not like Columbus be-
cause he had never redeemed Isa-
bella's jewelry, and one time when
Columbus was chasing around South
America looking for the tree of life
and running up big hotel bill Ferdin.
and had him handcuf1ed to one of the
Spanish militia and sent home. This
broke the proud spirit of Columbus,
and made him an easy prey to the
Spanish govt, which foreclosed on him
in 1906. Thus died one Of the best
discoveries that ever came to this
country, but one Of the poorest fin
anciers outside of the treasury depart
ment.

Then what will it have?
Surrounding the state capitol, now
reckoned as one of the best in the mid

aries. the drafting Of improvement

or 100000, the hiring of many men
and teams and salaried inspectors

JAPAN AND AMERICA.

In view Of the opinion of Colonel
Roosevelt on the Japanese question
as set forth in these columns last
week, It Is Of interest to note what
the Chicago Tribune has to say on
the same subject Roosevelt ad-
vocated the passage Of laws
making the Japanese eligible to cit
izenship,. The Tribune Willingly or
unwittingly takes issue with him IN
the following editorial:
A great deal is, being said ABOUT
the affront to Japanese "honor' as
sumed to be involved in the exclu'
sion of orientals from citizenship.
Exclusion from citizenship does
not imply any degree of interiority
whatsoever 1t implies essential diff
ference-difference in kind, not de-
whether the Chinese or the jap
anese ought to be ineligible is q
question which Is not as clear as IL
once was. Occidental opinion is not
40 doematic upon the Importance OF
The differences existing between the
east and the west-the ethnic differ
ence celebrated by Kipling when he
wrote his familiar lines to the ef-
fect that never the twain shall meet. "
Rut honest and intelligent Japanese
and Chinese opinion must recognize
that ethnic differences do exist and
that they are not to be lightly dis
missed.
It is absolutely essential to coher.
ent progress and to the peaceful and
consistent development of our social
and political institutions that our
citizenship should be composed of
men and women profoundly commit
ted to our ideals Of civilization, our
standards, our aims. Perhaps the
belief that Chinese and Japanese
cannot or will not fuse IN this sense
ia erroneous. We have seen men OF
these races adopt many of our polit-
zeal ideas, and some even Of our so.
cial We do not hesitate to send mis-
sionaries to them, and we find that
many of them accept Christianity.
The ethnic objection is weakened,
moreover, by the fact that we have
waived it in the case Of the negro.
But this, it must be recognized, has
it's historic explanation If not It's
justification, and really leaves the
whole question still open.
The point is that the oriental races
might be excluded from citizenship
with full recognition Of the emf
nence of their civilizations, Of their
great virtues. That recognition Is
general among intelligent, informed
occidentals in our day.
Intelligent Japanese and Chinese
opinion should recognize, on the
other hand, that the American re-
public already has upon its should
ers a tremendous task of amalgama-
ton, and that If its cherished institu-
tions and native culture are to be
developed on their own natural lines.
if they are not to be diverted, dis.
torted submerged, great care must be
exercised lest the amalgam include
insoluble elements. Our concern may
prove baseless. But it Is not irrarion-
al. nor should it be offensive to
any honorable equal.
No people is prouder OF its inheri-
lance or more determined to secure It's
destiny than the Japanese. Japan

So it is in prison. The warders can,
of necessity, remain within actual
view of but a few of the prisoners a
small portion of the time. But through
those massive and silent corridors
sounds stands watchdog for them. The
minute scratch of a file, the vibrations
attendant on the most cautious at
tempts against the stone structure, the
most muffled football reports to the
taller that mischief is afoot Instant
lv he is on the spot to corroborate by
his other faculties the warnings of the
watchdog Of the senses.
Now the watchdog was asleep.
Percy barrow reflected. that, were it
not for the terror Of these unexpaln-
able hours, the prisoners within or
their friends without could assail their
confines boldly and formidably, even
with dynamite, and none would be the
wiser if only none happened to be
within actual visual range of the opera
items. He himself quite coolly used the
iron side piece to his bed as a batter
ingram to break the locks of the door.
Then he walked down the long corri-
dor and out through the police station
bowling politely to the bewildered Of
fcers. The latter did not attempt to
stop him.
The people in the streets were, for
the most part, either standing stock
still, or moving slowly forward in a
cropping sort of fashion. Darrow, for
the second time, noticed how anal
ogous to the deprivation Of sight was

feeling vibration.
Traffic was at standstill Peoples
faces were bewildered, for the most
part; though here and there one show
ed contorted with the hysteria of
fright, or exalted with some other,
probably religious, emotion. The same
impression of ghostliness came to OAR
row here as in the Atlas Building.
Visual causes were not producing their
wonted aural effect.
On the street corner peanut ven
der's little whistle sent aloft bravely
it's jet of steam; the bells on ragpick-
er's cart swung merrily back and forth
on their strap; a big truck, whose
driver was either undaunted or drunk,
banged and clattered and ratified over
the rough cobbles of a side street
but no sound came from any one of
them.
This complete severance Of one
cause and effect was sufficient to dis
credit all natural laws. No other
cause and effect was certain. Every
where people were touching things to
see if they were solid, or wet, or soft,
or hard, as the case might be. Even
barrow felt, absurdly enough, that it
would not be greatly serious to jump
off the top of any building into the
street.
barrow swung confidently enough
down the street, He was the only
person, with the exception of the
drunken truck driver, who moved
forward at natural and easy gait.
The effect was startling. Darrow seem.

sovereignty. War undertaken for
such a doctrine would be recognized as
