of peace
This record Secretary Daniels attrib-
utes to his established policy of keep
and giving the boys a chance to see
the world. In the words of the news
paper Office, as Daniels says. 1T is good
advertising and a puller for ambitious
young men,
Equal suffrage was the theme Of
the secretary's address at the recep-
tion of the San Francisco center in
the white and gold room at the ST.
Francis. In his measured southern
way, Daniels drove in many a blunt
paragraph in favor of universal suf-
frage. He is an ardent champion of
the women in matters of government.
IDEALS LEAD LOVE
There was a high noted murmur of
objection in the reception room when
Secretary Daniels said. Il don't be-
lieve any woman ever loved the man
she married"
He paused, allowed the faces OF the
sos women to grow stern. and then
proceeded: 'She was in love with an
ideal thought: the man she took for
her husband was her ideal, but by
and by that love is wholly the ideals
she sees in him"
An echo of the l. w W. riot in Seat
tie during the Potlatch. when Secretary
Daniels was there several days ago
was heard at the Fairmont. Some
persons in Seattle blamed the secretary
OF the navy for melting the sailors TO
acts Of violence against the red flag OF
the /. w. W.'s by his enthusiastic words
on patriotism and devotion to the flag

When Secretary Daniels came in view
of the enormous machinery hall on the
exposition site. his exclamations of ad.
miration were superlative. At eacl
rev wonder he became eager to see
more and was late in reaching the re-
ception downtown because he woult
tarry over the sculpture and plans OF
the exposition site.
