I'VE are confident that love is strong

LIFE OR DEATH IN
SUFFRAGE FIGHT
County Association Seeks
Union AffliatiOn for
Strength.

Is the New York County Suffrage AS
ISOLATION dead?
Dead? Why. there isn't any such or
ganization any more"-the Equal suffrage
League is speaking.
Dead? Well, | guess they can't kill
us We are going over to the Women's
! Political Union. since the state betraye /
us at the Binshamton convention
Nellie b. Van Slngerland is speaking.
Mrs. Van Slinserland is organizer for
the county, and it was largely through her
good Offices that ten new societies were
/ formed last summer. with Mrs. William
! SulZer as an honorary member.
! At meeting week ago OF the county
societies it was moved that the county,
having been put out of the state associ-
alton. should join itself To the Women's
| Political Union. Action was postponed
upon the advice OF the chairman, Mrs.
Harry Hastings. until the largest three
societies in the county should be notified
Of the proposed action. These three are
the equal Suffrage League. Miss Mary
Garrett Hay. president; the Woman Suf-
frage study club. Mrs. Raymond Brown,
| PRESIDENT, anu tne NllIHill lioSu 'diil
son Equal Suffrage League, Mrs. Henry
Willard, president.
| As these three leaders all belong 10 the
opposition, II was easy to guess they
would not thank any one for railroading
them into allegiance to the Women's Po-
litcal Union.
A second meeting was called. Mean
| TINA the E'ouaI Suffrace eaptIe in order
10 avoid all possibility Of danger. yester-
| day resigned from the county association.
! No mention was made OF 'the Batch
! boyle" but the league. acting under orders
| from Miss Hay. quietly and unanimously
voted to withdraw from the county organ
| ization.
Mrs. Blatch has expressed her willing
ness TO give the betrayed" county party
shelter. though there are some minor diff
fculties IA the way OF receiving county
organization. inasmuch as the union is
not organized by counties board meet
| ing was held last night 10 settle this
| little difficulty.
The Women's Political Union is recog-
nized as the refuge for all unhappy clubs
which were deprived Of their allegiance
TO the state body by the action OF the
| Bnghamton convention several clubs OF
Richmond and Brooklyn have already
| Joined the union.
The county organization. TO disprove the
death report. has acquired new headquar-

The Progressive Drop.

One of the most remarkable out
comes of the election was the small
showing made by the Progressives.
The Progressive party ran second
in the national election last fall. 1t
carried the. city of Chicago by con-
siderable plurality. But it made bad
third In the local race.
One swallow does not make sum-
mer. and one municipal election does
not foretell with certainty the death
of a party. But 1t is clear that the
Progressive party must get a stronger
grip on the affections OF the people
than 1t has yet done, If it is to ac-
complish any part of it's ambitious
program. The vote given to Roosevelt
last fall apparently was due in large
part to personal popularity, desire
for revenge on Taft. and a carefully
nursed delusion that Teddy had a
chance to win.-Chicago Journal.

Two Sides to the Tariff.

To hear some people talk we would
think that the tariff reduction to
which the Democratic party is pledg-
ed was simply and solely blow at
capitalistic monopoly in the interest
of the downtrodden workingman.
Well, the employees of ten of the
largest pocketknife factories in the
United States met the other day at
Newburgh, N. Y, and arranged to
send a committee to Washington to
demand that the present tariff on
pocketknives be maintained. They
insist that their present wages de-
pend upon maintaining the present
tariff and state that there isn't cut
lery concern in England, Germany
and France that is not preparing TO
send its goods to this country in case
the tariff Is reduced
Apparently the cutters of this coun,
try see two sides to the tariff ques-
tion and are not especially anxious for
blow to be dealt at capitalistic
monopoly.

LEAVING MUCH TO CHANCE
oId-TIme Cooking Directions We're
Not Very Specific as to Portions
to Be Mixed.

The modern housewife, who appor-
tions her foods and mixes cakes and
cookery recipes with mathematical
precision, can find nothing more
amusing than some of the vague d.
rections by which the old-fashioned
cook of several generations ago pre-
pared foods. These random sentences,
taken from a little cook book that be-
longed to the great-grandmother Of a
Baltimore girl, suggest pointed ex-
amples:
Take whatever quantity of rice
you think proper, according to the
size of your family; boil it in good
broth and some lard; when cool mix
it with as much flour as rice, a good
deal Of butter, some eggs to hold 1t
together, and make puff paste of 1t.
Form into hot cakes of whatever
shape and bigness you please, and
bake.
If your fire is not very quick and
clear when the poultry is laid down to
roast, 1t will not eat near SO sweet or
look so beautiful to the eye.
According to the goodness of your
fire, your meat will be done sooner
or later.
A few eggs, little milk, a pinch
of salt, sweetening TO taste, flour to
thicken, a good beating, and bake ac'
cording to judgment. (These are di,
| rections for breakfast bread.)
