ASHURST SUBM|TSA
REPORT FROM THE
COMMITTEE
the WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
MAKES A REPORT IN FAVOR OF
The CHAMBERLAIN RESOLU.
ton FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.
A PEOPLES MOVEMENT
IS BACK OF The ACTION

Washington, D. c., June 13.-Sena
ter Ashurst today submitted the re
port Of the womans suffrage sommlt
tee recommending passage of the
Chamberlain resolution for a consttu
tional amendment for suffrage for Wo.
men.
IN this republic says the report,
"the people constitute the government.
They are it's creators and its main
Itenance; they are the government.
That the granting of the elective fran
chise to women would add to the
strength, efficiency, justice and fair
ness OF government, we have not the
slightest doubt.
"It is anomalous and archaic, in a
free republic, professedly made up of,
controlled by, and administered for
all the people, to deny to one half Of
it's citizens the right of exercising Il
valuable function of citizenship to-wit:
The elective franchise, thus preclud-
| ing that one half from the right and
power to say what law or policy shall
be its rule of conduct. And this
aralomy becomes odious and abhor
rent when we reflect that the particu-
lar half of citizenship thus excluded
il the incidental one half from which
springs so much wisdom, courage,
cheer, hope and good counsel
The report sets forth that the things
tt, be considered in granting equal
franchise are whether women as a
class will vote whenever full oppor-
tunity is offered; attempt to compre-
hend the questions upon which they
vote: attempt to learn something OF
the character and fitness of the person
for whom they vote: vote against dis
honest persons for office; oppose dis
honest measures; refuse, directly or
indirectly, to accept bribe and re-
fuse, directly or indirectly, to give a
bribe. place country above party;
recognize the result of the election as
the will of the people and therefore as
the law, and continue to fight for a
I Iighteous, although defeated cause so
lcng as there is a reasonable hope OF
success"
I'VE submit" the report concludes.
that the class of voters sought to be !,
enfranchised by this resolution an
sWer each one of these interrogatories
with distinguished credit to itself and
that it fully promises in good faith, to
live up to these requirements. We,
therefore, upon all grounds, conclude
that the resolution should be submit
ted to the states for their adoption or
IA tification." |,
Senator Ashurst said he would use I
forceful energies to secure a vote on /
tie resolution at the special session, d
but that he would not press it in such Is
4 way as to arouse opposition or inter- l
fere with tariff legislation. II

NEWLANDS HAS
OPINIONS ON
TARIFF
Ne TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES THAT The
UNDERWOOD BILL may GO DOWN
IN HISTORY AS A SECTIONAL
MEASURE GIVING PROTECTION
EAST AND FREE TRADE WEST.

Washington, d. c., June 13,-With
ance committee continuing to approve
reductions in tariff rates of the I'm
derwood bill and transfer of articles
to the free list, the measure is rapid
ly being whipped into shape for the
senatorial Democratic caucus Ma
jority members of the finance com
mittee expect to have the tariff bill
ready for the caucus by the middle of
next week
Senator Newlands told his Demo
cratic colleagues today that the tar
iff bill might go down in history as
maintaining the Atlantic coast and
middle western states on protective
basis, while drifting the southwest
and the west to free trade basis.
He pointed to the action of the sen
ate finance committee in placing farm
hay, butter and eggs on the free list
leaving as he said citrus fruits and
the fruit products of California as al
most the only far western products
retained on the dutiable list.
At the same time he added, nearly
1000 articles competitive with the
products OF eastern factories were
put on the dutiable list. The sena-
tor insisted he was for Democratic
harmony and explained that his
warmth of expression "in recent
speech had not been directed at the
administration but was prompted by
the unjustifiable statement of Senator
James of Kentucky on the sugar tar
iff.
AS to sugar, wool and citrus fruits
he contended for a gradual reduction
of the tariff and urged the authoriza-
tion of a special commission consist
ing of the secretaries of the war, in
terror, and of agriculture, to make an
study on the subject and
report to the senate.

WILSON FACING
CURRENCY FIGHT

Washington, d. c., June ia
cozy wood fire was glowing in the fire.
place of President Wilson's executive
office when he began receiving visit
ors and when the newspaper men
had their semi-weekly qui-fest with
the chief executive. The correspond
ents questioned the president inef-
ifectually on specific topics, but ascer-
! tanned from him that he believes much
good will result from the lobby in
quiry at the capitol.
! The president expects 10 put in
busy week He viii give serious
! thought in the next few days to his
currency message and to adjusting
| the differences that are apparent over
| the various bills that are in process
of formation.
There are evidences galore that cur
rency legislation will cause a big fight
and that nothing but the influence of
the president will accomplish agree
.ment upon any one bill.
Predictions are freely made that the
president will have a FAR greater task
in forcing his party into unison on
currency than he has had on the tariff.
Back of him on the tariff, it is de-
clared, was and is the sentiment of
the country and the mood of the peo-
pie to demand some cnange that they
think will bring them relief from the
high cost of living. But the rank and
file of the people, it is conceded, are
not deeply interested in the currency
problem. Then maybe they can he
shown the possibility If receiving di-
rect benefits from reform in the exist
ing Laws. Without the deep personal
interest of the majority of the people
aiding him, the outlook is that the
president will have to do much recon.
cling and that in the end the senate
will refuse to stay here through the
summer to pass a currency bill. 1t is
thought, however, that the presidents
o. X. on bill will carry currency
measure through the house.
The president will not attempt spe-
cifc recommendations iri his message,
it is understood, but will point out the
great Importance of prompt changes
in the present laws.

COMPROMISE
Is NOT TO BE HAD

San Francisco, Calf. June 13.-Ef-
I forts to compromise the police scan
dal in San Francisco by an exchange
of light sentences for pleas of guilty
fell to the ground today. Frank
Esola, already convicted of sharing
profits with bunco men while he was
an officer of the law, will be sentenc-
ed tomorrow and the other seven po-
licemen under indictment--some for
conspiracy, some for larceny, and
some for both--will plead not guilty
and stand trial.
AT no time, said District Attor-
ney Fickert today, has this office
been pledged to any compromise. The
cases in hand will now be pressed
vigorously to prosecution and the evil
dence presented will be followed
wherever it may lead.

Roosevelt spoke here in favor OF dl

supporting the campaign of Governor
Sulzer His speech follows, in part
Governor Hughes failed in getting
through his legislation because the
machines of both the old parties were
against him. We see the same bipar-

Ilatforms promised this legislation,
after deliberate caucus and confer
tence solemnly repudiating the very
promise On the strength Of which they
sought and obtained office.
1T is said that we propose to do
away with party organization. Ihe
statement is not correct. We believe
that it should be really party and not

from which he never fully rallied and
he passed quietly away mourned by
large number Of sorrowing relatives

| Charles w. Van Pappelendam was
native Of Lee county, born near
Charleston, August Is, 1859. He came
| to Keokuk in 1882, since which time
this city had been his home. He was
a favorite among those who knew him
best, kindlhearted and generous, he
lived not for himself alone, but for
those about him. OF the kindest and
most generous impulses he was hap
pier when those around him were In
a happy mood. He was not connected
with any church, but attended and en-
joyed the meetings Of the Christian
Science Society OF the city. and THU

meetings.
