SUFFRAG|STS GET
NO ENCOURAGEMENT
Demonstration in Washing
ton All for Advertisement
STATEMENT is ISSUED
Opponents of Suffrage Claim Woman
Suffrage Will Get No Recogni-
tion From Present Congress
or Next Congress

Washington, August 1.-(Special) 1.-THE
Senate and its leaders are opposed to
passing any resolution which might seem
even to give the woman suffragists en-
couragement. The House of Representa-
tives is in the same mood, only more so.
And the White House, having already re-
fused to recommend such legislative ac-
tion. still turns a deaf ear to the suffra-
gists. Consequently the supporters of
votes for women cannot expect to progress
in Washington
| This is the opening paragraph of a
statement issued here this afternoon
through the Washington headquarters of
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage. The statement con-
| tinues
ut is claimed by the suffra gists that,
| If they can get no action from Congress
in this session, they will secure it in the
next session. Such claim is obviously
absurd. The next session will be domi-
mated and controlled by the very same men
who dominate and control this one There
will be in the Senate such men as Martin
VI t1blflld, 1HOTlltOH Oh lJOulSldIla, and
Bacon of Georgia, and it will be impos-
sble to put any suffrage legislation past
them. In the House Henry. chairman of
the committee on rules, and Underwood,
the democratic leader, both opposed to
woman suffrage, will defeat the efforts
of the suffragists.
1.-THE women who clamor for the equal
franchise are adept in creating publicity.
Their methods and their parades adver-
tise themselves and the women who take
part in them. The suffrage leaders know
they are beaten in Washington. They
must know it If they have taken the pains
to inquire as to what the real situation is
Consequently, this advance upon Wash
ington is one of two things. Either IL is
a species of cheap advertising, or it is an
attempt to cloak defeat under the guise
of jubilation which has no cause In real
| facts.
"What the suffragists are asking of Con-
gress should be made clear. They desire
| Congress to open the way for an amend
ment to the constitution which shall com
pei the states, all of them, to grant the
women the right to vote. And they ask
this in spite of the number of states which
have refused to take such action. That is
the suffragists want Congress to compe
states to do what the legislatures and
voters of those state have already refused
| to do. They want woman suffrage forced
upon states which have turned 1t down.
"But even If the votes for women sup.
| porters could get the resolution through
Congress- 1t would be found that they hao
stultified themselves by taking the longest
| way toward their object. At best. tbs
consent of the states to a constitutions
amendment is a matter of years. But. Il
| the suffragists think the states wan
woman suffrage, why did they not demand
lit from the state legislatures? Sucf
changes in state can be secured frequent

Under evisting circumstances, their

take them nowhere. The best they may
obtain will be advertising. not the adver-

gaining ground in the national capital

jury next term. Clerk Of the Dis

information recently and il is not at
all unlikely that the regular term of
court in June will find several women
in the jury box, OF course women
may not want to take tins part OF
the burden Of equal suffrage but it
now seems that it will become an
enforced duty. The first women who
do serve in this capacity Will he

may have monuments erected TO

Pastor Would Edit
U. S.-Canada History
Declares Future Generations Should
Know True Relations Between
Countries During Revolution.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. June An
unusual official statement respecting
the relations between the United
States and Canada was made here
at the close of the annual session OF
the conference Of the Methodist
Church of British Columbia.
Rev. Dr. s D. Chowu. general
superintendent of the church in Can
ada, referring to the good work
undertaken by the recent New York
meeting to celebrate a century Of
peace between Britain and Canada
and the United States. declared that
the histories used in the United States
should be changed 70 show the rising
generation what was the true state of
affairs in connection with early
troubles.
He said that the war which ended
i'm the Independence of the United
States had NOT been a popular one in
the old country. II had been brought
on by what was known as the King S
party" and the great statesman, Pitt,
had spoken time and again against
the attitude Of Britain. In England
they could not get soldiers TO fight
against the new American States so
unpopular was the war feeling. and
for the first time in the history Of
Britain mercenaries had to be hired
to fight the battles of the empire
DR. Chown insisted that text books
for school use ought TO be revised,
especially in Canada, to include these
facts
