WOMAN SUFFRAGE AGAIN
The Washington POST Tariff
Debate.-t.Colonel" Mulhall.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY j. 4. JONES

Washington, D. c., August IL.
For many years the Washington
Post has been the property Of John
X. Mclean, who used to run for
governor, senator, and few other
things out in Ohio. Failing in
these undertakings the great Nc.
Lean came to Washington, bought
into and controlled the gas COM
pany, and was haying a nice time
with the property until "Joe"
Letter, erstwhile king of the
Chicago wheat pit, decided he
wanted a few playthings about
Washington, and thereupon took
the gas concern away IRON Nc
Lean. Mclean has numerous
other possessions left. besides
few millions in cash, and these
include two beautiful homes in
Washington, a son with a penchant
for fast horses and a mania for ex-
pensive jewelry. Now the latest
chapter in the story is that the
Washington Post has grown so
yellow, particularly in its treat.
ment OF the Mexican question,
that Washington is discussing
fumer that will not down, which
credits William Randolph Hearst
with having acquired control of
the Post, The rumor is denied in
some sources, but if it shoaia
prove untrue, then WsaAsagton
will still be at ,oaa 10 understand
why the great newspaper that has
been the perpetual nouthpiece of
presidents fc. many years, has
been changed into an organ of so
widely different policy.
The tariff debate drags on in the
senate and it is one of the greatest
discussions in history, even though
good deal of the Congressional
Record shows choppy-conversation
and sort of potpourri Of talk.
Some of the senators have almost
wagged their heads off, and during
the hot weather many OF the fats
and leans of that august assem-
blage are getting down to a mere
FRAGILE. Even the most industri-
Gus of them make bad faces when
it is suggested that they must pass
a currency bill before they adjourn.
Attempts are being made to dis
cover where Mulhall, the star
lobbyist, got the title Of Colonel,
and in this particular case there is
the same absence of explanation
that might attach to many other
title claimants about the country.
Since measure in congress would
make all these bogus "Colonels'
subject to prosecution for hanging
out false signals, it may be tina,

Fisher is the president of the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway, the worlds
greatest race-course. Fisher conceived
and heads the temporary committee of
the Lincoln Highway Association to
which has already been subscribed ever
four million dollars largely through his
efforts. He is a tireless worker and is
spending freely of his own fortune in
his desire to further the cause of good
roads.
Charles Bookwalter twice has been
the mayor of Indianapolis. He is a
great national highway enthusiast.
The primary purpose of Fisher and
Bookwalter on the present trip is to
augment the fund of $4,000, 900, which
the Lincoln Highway association has
raised, to $40, DOC, 900, by soliciting con-
tributions, either unreserved or con-
tingent. from chambers of commerce,
and civic and trade associations along
the route as we'll as to interview state
officials with the idea of securing the
co-operat ton of these gentlemen in
their enterprise.
The plan according to which the
highway is to be built makes it i'm
perative that both classes be approach
ed, inasmuch as the association is to
do only part of the work, l. e. the fur
nishing of materials. The laying on of
the same is to be attended to by the
states and counties along the way. 1t
is estimated that the former will cost
about ten, the latter about fifteen
million.
A. L. Westgard, who is with the
party, is famous trail maker. This
bronzed gentleman, civil engineer and
road expert, vice president and director
of transcortinental highways of ths
National Highways association, with
the fine hand-clasp and friendly smile,
has done more to make possible long
distance touring than any other indI-
viduaI. AS the representative of the
American Automobile association, he
has, for years, served as the touring
map-maker for long tours and has
achieved an enviable reputation for
successful road hunting.
Among the other prominent auto men
on the tour are John Guy Monihan

IT is estimated that the half dozen cars
operating between Sixth and jackson

and evening conveyed nearly five hundred
persons. and in the course of the same
period of time a big auto truck running
from the end of the Asylum line to the
park carried several hundred persons

and it is hardly fair to expect me
to answer at this time a fiat question
as to whether 1 would accept.
ut is against our principles to rush
in for officeholding the moment we
have received the vote. 1t would be
very unwise for the women of Illinois
to accept or. seek public office until
they have had a few years experience
as voters. At this time 1 think 1
should refuse to be candidate for any
public Office.
1T is q hypothetical question but l
repeat that even if. as the question
suggests, I should be called and nomi-
mated against my wishes 1 should re-
fuse my nomination"
Miss Adams expressed herself as
having been slightly surprised that
Illinois had given women the vote and
right to hold office with few excep-
tions. She declared it was a great
victory for the cause and said the
chief influence lay in the fact that a
state as large as Illinois, east of the
Mississippi had decided in favor of
equal suffrage. She had believed, she
said, that Wisconsin would give wom-
en- the vote before they got 1t in Hi
nois.
Asked if the women of her state
would vote women voters or would
align themselves with the various po-
litical parties, Miss Adams said:

main segregated and vote merely as a
woman's party excepting on some
moral and sociological questions that
only the influence of Women's votes
will settle correctly

MOOSE OUT RAN Auto
Midnight Chase. Through Streets O
Duluth Reported.

Duluth, July "A big bull moose
tore up Second avenue east at full
speed shortly before midnight last
night. Close behind it followed an
aurom obile with the throttle wide
open, roaring and snorting. The moose
was without a guide; the machine had
a lone man sitting in the seat, every
nerve concentrated upon the chase.
The streets were not crowded at that
hour but here and there a lone pedeS-
trian jumped. First the giant lord of
the forest with his new grown antlers
revealing his identity, floated past
barely touching the pavement. Quick
behind him followed the spluttering
automobile with the glaring headlight
shining on the moose's rump. Accord
ing to the pedestrians, a moose ordi-
narily is about as fast as a horse, but
with a roaring automobile behind him
he can beat the automo bile. Finally
the animal turned an abrupt corner and
the automobile shot past. Before the
driver could turn about, the moose had
disappeared up a side avenue.
