How can any but a brute and an ignoramus
deny that this woman, the mother of children, has
a right to share in the making of laws?
1t is not favor that woman asks when she
demands the vote.

SHE SIMPLY ASKS HER RIGHT. She
ought to have it and she WILL have it. Shame
on the who thinks his own mother unfit to
vote.

With a tape measure around
his neck and an adviser standing
by, he went at me. And way

store at a desk sat a man with
pencil in hand.

the man looking on consulted
from time to time.
They called off the measure

half; twenty-one and three
quarters; sixteen and a half"
Then the tape measure was again

call was given, Make that six

As to personal protection, with

in a house. Keep the doors and

burning in them. Remain in the

jaime. b. Forgan'x Views.
In a recent address before the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency of the
House of Commons, Ottawa, Canada,
James B. Forgan, discussing the new
Canadian bank laws, had this to say Of
the weakness in the banking system Of
the United States: 4.
THE weakness of the banking system
in the United States and the cause Of
the periodical money panics there, such
as with your branch banking system in
Canada you have been happily exempt
are attributable to the difficulty a large
number of small local banks experience
in individually controlling and carrying
their cash reserves. Such a wide dis
tribution of the gold reserves of the
country as is caused by more than 25,00
individual banks in the United States
all undertaking to control and carry
their own share of it is unscientific.
wasteful. dangerous, and impractical.
Whenever anything occurs TO shake pub
lie confidence the banks are the first
to take alarm. Every bank proceeds to
strengthen it's own cash reserves by cur
failing credits and converting its loans
into cash. The result is that the gold
supply of the country, which, il mo-
bilized and properly controlled at the
financial centers for the protection Of
all the banks, would be ample for the
purpose, when it is distributed AN over
the country into more than 25,0o0 small
piles under as many separate owner
m \
protection of any. Not a bank in the lot
can control enough gold to protect itself
against that which they all fear, a run
by their depositors. so they all suspend
cash payments or seriously restr6t them
and panic ensues."

MEXICANS FATTEN AT
UNCLE SANS TABLE
Federal Troops, with Palates Tiekled
by Army Food, Want to Re-
main Prisoners.

Officers in che0ge of the patrol alons
the Mexican border have appealed to
Secretary Garrison. asking what they
shall do with the several hundred Mex
lean Federal soldiers held prisoners at
Nogales, Naco. and elsewhere. These
Federals are men who surrendered to
United States officers, rather than face
death at the hands Of victorious rebel
troops The feeding and sheltering of
the Mexicans is quite a problem for the
American officers. and. they are anxious
to get rid of their unlimited guests.
Secretary Garrison has referred the
question TO the State Department. Most
of the Mexicans prefer to stay under
the protection of the United States. be-
cause they are well fed and cared for
on the American side of the line.
1t was reported to the department
yesterday that the garrison OF Nombre
de Dios. forty miles east of Durango.
has revolted, and sacked the city. After
footing the business houses in the town.
the rebels went to the wooden factory
and killed the manager, Joseph Win
