Notes for Women
The sharp contrast bet

The sharp contrast between the methods OF the
active agitators for votes for women in Eng
land and the United States affords clear proof, as
between the two how much better fitted of the two
the American women are for the voting privilege
Here there have been no bombs no incendiary
work, mad, screaming violators OF law and order
but everything has proceeded quietly, but none the
less vigorously and effectively. Such proceeding
as that OF Thursday, when women from every state
in the union presented petitions to the senators
from their states asking them to vote for the Cham
berlain amendment to the constitution providing
for general female suffrage was calculated to be
effective and beneficial
Instead of heaping personal abuse on the sena-
tors threatening them with personal violence,
the American ladies invited the senators to what
the reporters call big banquet
Senator Clapp Of Minnesota stated the truth
when he declared, Whatever the fate Of this pres
ent resolution may be, the time is not far distant.
and is inevitable, when the American people will
confer on American women the only weapon by
of which she peacefully defend herself
and her children-the ballot
OF course, that is the truth OF late wears the
chief opposition to suffrage has been from
the old time professional politicians and the influ
ences behind them.
With the coming Of the direct primary there
in which the direct primary has been adopted has
followed it up by adopting woman suffrage.
The politicians themselves can no longer ignore
the woman suffrage movement. The next president

LOBBY GOSSIP
Canal Will Boom Alabama

Richard Massey, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham,
who with Mrs. Massey and his daugh-
ter are at the st. Francis, says that
the opening Of the Panama canal will
increase the iron output OF Alabama
three fold. Mr. Massey said:
Pig iron producers of Alabama are
getting In readiness for the opening
of the Panama canal by increasing
their plants and increasing the devel-
opment of their mines. We hope to
tap the oriental and South American
markets and there is no reason why
we shouldn't increase our pig iron
output three fold
ITO the end that our iron resources
may be better advertised to the world,
we plan to make large exhibit at the
San Francisco exposition. A special
session of the legislature will be called
next year to pass an appropriation bill.
or rather to increase the appropriation
already voted to San Francisco by the
state of Alabama. Birmingham pig
iron producers and cotton growers
may augment this appropriation by a
special fund of their own. We are
working on this latter scheme.
'The plans call for the construction
of a pig iron building at the exposi-
Ilon mere surely Will DC cottoll ga

to the visiting world just what we
have in Alabama. The states iron
mines have millions and millions of
tons of untapped ore. and we want to

the logical place to start a big adver-
tising campaign, therefore Alabama

With Daniels on the Bridge

w Secretary of the Navy Daniels on his visit
here, created great enthusiasm by his fervid
and intense defamation that when the Panama
canal was opened the fleet was coming into
the Pacihc-"coming home to stay"-and that
the proudest day of his life would Be when he
would stand on the bridge OF the Oregon at the
head of the fleet until she steamed into San Fran
cisco bay
Either because he made such hit with his
speech here or because he has changed his mind
since leaving here, he is now going to have
another proudest day of his life and he is going
to steer the feet into another home than San
Francisco bay
The Portland Oregonian, too, has come under
the spell of the North Carolinans linguacius

Secretary Daniels no sooner saw the Co
lumba river than he became convinced of its
wonderful opportunities for commercial and
naval purposes.

river and its basn simply by showing him

enthusiasm that he looks forward to the day
when, standing the bridge Of the old Ore
gon he shall pass through the Panama canal
into the Pacific and steam northward to the
