SAYS EVERYBODY Is
GOING TO ROUNDUP

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 23.-Back
from the Inland Empire with enthu-
siasm bubbling from his lips and
praise for the industry of Oregon and
Washington farmers exuding from
every pore, General Passenger Agent
William McMurray of the O.-W. r. q
n is convinced that the northwest
faces the biggest era of prosperity in
its history. Mr.. McMurray visited
many towns in Eastern Oregon and
Washington and found everybody get
ting ready to go to the Pendleton
Roundup.
"You should have seen the great
sacks Of wheat piled up in the fields,
the stacks of alfalfa and the broad
gardens ana rich orchards" he said.
"If anybody ever thought a gloomy
thought all he need do is to take a
ride on the train through the vast
granary of the northwest. Really, 1
never saw things so prosperous. The
people are going to have money to
spend, and believe me, they will spend
IT,"
The O.-w r. & y. folder descrip-
tive of the Pendleton Round-up mas
just come from the press, and will be
selit everywhere. 1t is full of pic
lures, one showing the great stadium
with last years crowd massec
throughout the stands. From reports
he has received from all the tribu-
tary country Mr.. McMurray declare:
this years photograph will show {
throng twice as large.
"Pendleton is getting ready to en-
tertain the crowds, too" he said
Every hotel and rooming house will
be packed, of course, and pr!yat
homes will be opened to the visitors
but the residents are determined t
make the show the best yet"
While he was at Pendleton, Mr. Nc
Murray saw the fine saddle which is t
be one of the chief prizes in horse
manship. Several men are working o.
it now, and when finished it will be
work of art.

SYSTEM WAS EMPLOYED
FIGHT FOR SUGAR DUTY AIDED
BY SENATORS IN THIS WAY.
Witness Alleges Government Print
ing Office and Postal Department
Also Helped.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-How the gov.
eminent printing office and the post
office department helped in the fight
against free sugar and the congress
sional frank sent tons of anti-free
sugar literature circulating throughout
the land, was brought out by the SEN
ate lobby investigators.
Truman G. Palmer, Washington, rep
r~eSentatiye of the United States beet
sugar industry, who was on the stand
the entire day and the object of a
sweeping cross examination, testified
that more han 1900, goo copies of
arguments in behalf of beet sugar and
been turned out by the government
printing Office. made public documents
by order of congress and had ridden
on the franks of senators and repre-
sentatives to the ends of the country,
postage free.
Sugar at a Glance prepared by
him, he said, had attained a circula-
ton of 320,0 600 copies under the frank
of Senator Lodge.
Report of the Finance Committee"
by the same senator, has beaten the
pamphlet by $4,000 copies.
The franks of Senator Smoot, former
Senators Curtis and Dick and the late
Representative Malby, former Repre-
sentative Pickett and Representative
Martin had swelled the total to more
than a million and a half. The print
ing of some of this number had been
paid for by the beet sugar people, the
witness said, but the free postage had
saved them about SIS, 900.
Mr.. Palmer developed that Sugar
at a Second Glance" which he init
mated was inspired by the Federal
Sugar Refining company and which
was an argument in behalf of free
sugar, also had been printed as a pub
lie document and circulated under the
franking privileges. He did not say
nor did the committee ask whose franz
was so used.

WOMAKS SUFFRAGE
IS RECOMMENDED
WOMEN ARE ENTITLED TO FRAN.
CHlSE, SAYS SENATORS, IN
SUBMITTING EPORT.
TO SUBMIT THIS TO STATES
Chairman Will Seek Action by Con.
qress in Present Sessio1-WiIl
Not Interfere With
Tariff.

Washington, June Ex-senator Ash
hurst has submitted the report of the
woman's suffrage committee, recon-
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment extending suffrage to women
The Report.
In this republic" says the report,
The people constitute the govern
ment. They are its creators and its
maintenance; they are the govern
ment. That the granting of the cleo
tive franchise to women would add to
the strength, efficiency, justice and
fairness of government, we have not
the slightest doubt.
1T is anomalous and archaic, in a
free republic, professedly made up Of,
controlled by and administered for
all the people, to deny to one-half OF
its citizens the right of exercising a
valuable function of citizenship, to-
wit, the elective franchise, thus pre-
clude that one-half from the right and
power to say what law or polity shall
be its rule of conduct. And this
iOillh SOiiiC ooluo aho opLlO Civ
when we reflect hat the particular
half of citizenship thus excluded is
the identical one-half from which
springs so much wisdom, courage,
cheer, hope and good counsel"
Does Majority Want Vote?
The report sets forth that the
things to be considered in granting
equal franchise are whether women,
as a class, will vote whenever full
opportunity is offered; attempt to
comprehend the questions upon which
they vote; attempt to learn something
of the character of persons for whom
they vote; vote against dishonest per-
sons for office; oppose dishonest meas
ures; refuse directly or indirectly to
accept a bride, and refuse directly or
indirectly to give a bride; place coun-
try above party; recognize the result
of the election as the will of the peor
pie and therefore as the law, and con.
tinue to fight for a righteous, although
defeated cause, SO long as there is q
reasonable hope of success"
Women Held Capable.
1--WE submit" the report concludes,
that the class of voters sought TO be
enfranchised by this resolution answer
each and every one of these interroga-
tories with credit to itself, and that it
fully, fairly and in good faith meas
ures up to these requirements. We,
therefore, upon all grounds conclude
that the resolution should be submit
ted to the states for their adoption
or rejection"
Senator Ashhurst said he would use
forceful energieI to secure a vote on
the resolution at the special session,
but that he would not press it in such
a way as to arouse opposition or in
reference with tariff legislation.

Says Suffrage Lessons Crime.

Washington, June 14.-Woman suf-
frage as a means of lessening crime
was advocated here by c.. E. Sebastian,
chief of police of Los Angeles, CAL,
in an address before the closing ses-
sion of the annual convention of the
International Association of Police
Chiefs. Chief Sebastian declared that
suffrage recognition of police women
in Los Angeles had been obtained and
crime had been materially reduced.
Suffrage, he added, had helped to
break down the false modesty which
had prevented public discussion of sex
problems.

ILLINOIS SUFFRACISTS WIN
WOMEN OF SUCKER STATE TO
HAVE RIGHT TO VOTE.
Bill Granting Them Limited Ballot Is
Passed by the State Assembly OF
Illinois.

Springfield, H., June 13.-The wom-
ems suffrage bill, granting women the
right to vote for all statutory offices
in the state of Illinois, has been pass
ed by the house by a vote Of S3 ayes
to SO nays.
Pending notice of a motion to recon
slider, Representative McCarty, Demo
crat, Of Chicago, changed his vote
from nay to aye" He gave the
formal notice that on the next legissa-
tive day he will move a reconsidera-
ton.
The suffrage bill was introduced in
the senate on February IL and was
passed by the upper branch of the
general assembly early in May.
Representative Barker. Republican,
cast the nth or deciding vote for the
bill. When the roll call had been com
pleted the measur was one vote short
of constitutional majority. Speaker
Mckinley, whose name is last on the
roll, cast the 10th vote. He ordered
a call of the absentees. Barker's
name was the first absentee called.
A shout went up when he voted for
the bill.
Representative Lee O'Neill Browne
made the only speech in the house
against the bill.
Leaders Are Jubilant.
Chicago.-Leaders of the women's
suffrage movement in Chicago are jul
bilant over the news from Springfield.
1T is the biggest thing that has
happened east of the Mississippi since
the Civil war;" said Mrs. Catherine
Waugh McCulloch, one of the pioneer
workers for equal suffrage in this
state. although we are given the
right to vote for president and most
municipal officers, and although it will
require an amendment to the state
constitution still further to extend our
suffrage so that we will have full suf-
frage, the fact that an eastern state
has taken this action will give the ma
tional movement a great impetus.
Next year full suffrage is to be
submitted to the voters of North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana and Ne
vada. Undoubtedly the action in ILL.,
nois will encourage the movement in
those states"
