Obvious Equality With Man.

No anti suffragist questions the fact
OBVIOUS, OF a woman's mental and
moral equality with man, but she be-
Heves that to duplicate mans effort
means loss of power. She believes
that woman's function in the world
even in the world of politics. is quite
diHerent from the function of man, and
that while the enactment of the law is
IN the hands of men. the creation of
public opinion. which makes the need
or that law obvious. is quite in the
hands of women.
Since the making of the future voter
is In the hands of women. they can
we'll afford to leave the making Of the
laws TO the voters whom they have
trained.
1t is an acknowledged fact that only
small minority of the women of this
country are asking for the ballots per
cent. IL is therefore. obviously undem-
ocratic to force the will of a small minor
ity upon large and protesting majority

Ballot an Obligation.

The anti-suffragist believes that the
ballot is not only privilege but an OBJ
ligation-an obligation which is not only
repugnant to her, but which would seri-
ously interfere with the best performance
of the work she has to do. The assump-
ton that the ballot is a duty which one
may or may not discharge, as ind!ca ted
in the editorial to which / refer, shows
superficiality of view of democracy
If the unintelligent and the vicious
and the Indifferent woman may be voted
by the forces which control her, then
must every righteous and public spirited
woman vote, if she is a friend Of decency
and order, and any one who argues that
with the ballot in her hands it is not
necessary that she should use it is not

Not Adequate Representation.

Moreover, those who are opposed to
suffrage do not feel that they would be
adequately represented by the women who
are in favor of it,. Therefore if the ballot
is given to women who want to vote those
who don't want to vote must take up the
same weapons in order that their tyre
and ideal of woman shall prevail over
those with whom they have no sympathy.

CORRUGATED SIDES FOR SHIPS
New Ideas of Protection Are Put Forth
by Experts Who Have Studied
the Subject.

The ship of the future will have
crinkly sides, according to Capt. @.
S. MacIlwaine CO the British navy.
Such a ship has already been con-
structed. 1t has corrugations or pro-
jections, running in fore and aft
direction, below the load line. From
the top of the upper corrugatlon to
the bottom of the next below the dis
lance is 10 feet 3 inches, the groove
between being OF the same dimensions
as the corrugations. From the inner
edges of the frames the corrugatiens
project % inches, tapering forward
and aft till they merge into the ends
of the vessel.
"The claims made for this type OF
ship" said Captain MacIlwaine, ARE
that she is stronger than the plain
sided ship, that she is steadier at sea
and possesses greater stability, that
vibration is much reduced, that her
cargo capacity is increased, that she
is much handler, and that she can be
carried 20 PEI cent further on a ton
of coal than a plain ship of similar Gi-
mensions"
By way of practical proof of his
claims the captain gave figures which
he obtained during voyages In ship
built on the corrugated principle. The
average slip" was two per cent,
against thirteen per cent. for plain
vessel, the engine revolutions were
fewer for given speed and less fuel
was consumed for the same speed.
MY faith in the corrugated ship"
he said, ''is such that In my humble
judgment the country cannot stand
aside and see her pass into other
hands. An experiment. in the build
ing OF torpedo boat or destroyer.
even If 1t failed to realize the highest
expectations, would cost nothing II

OLD BELIEFS STILL STRONG
Revolution in China Seems to Have
Changed But Lightly the Charac-
ter of the People.

That the revolution in China has but
lightly touched the character of the
people has been demonstrated recent
" by some picturesque phases OF ma
tive superstition.
Recently men went about the city
of Chengfu posting fantastic placards.
One was a notification to the inhab-
itants to burn incense to the Thun-
der God. The second announced that
on the first day of the seventh moon
two strangers would enter the city
and call upon the people to leave their
homes! The reason was not stated,
but the poster suggested this simple
remedy:
When hailed, don't respond"
Upon the third poster appeared a
solemn warning that on the first day
of the tenth moon the city would be
visited by a plague of asphyxiating
smoke Many would Git was said) in
hale this and suffer instant death. A
way to escape from the wrath Of the
gods was given: Burn rice straw,
mix the ashes with water, and drink
literally.
Hundreds of Chinese in Shanghai

believed that a miracle was happen
ing before their eyes. 1t rained rice!

The searchers-men, women and chill
dren, mostly of the poorer class-ap-
peared to regard this heaven-sent
bounty in the night as a good omen,
so good that not a grain could be
wasted At break of day there were
still many searchers.
The remarkable phenomena is ex-
planned by a typhoon which just touch
ed on Shanghai. 1t Is suggested that

MRS. PATZER GIVEN 9 YEARS
Waupaca County Woman Found Guilty
of Staying Husband and Goes
to State Prison.

Waupaca. -Judge Byron B. Parks
sentenced Mrs. Albert Patzer to
spend nine years in the state peniten-
tiary at Waupun, after she had been
convicted by jury on a charge of
third degree murder.
The crime of which Mrs. Patzer was
convicted was the killing of her hus-
band last January at their farm home
near Manawa. During the trial Mrs.
Patzer took the stand and testified
that her husband had threatened her
life and that she attacked him with a
stick of stove wood to save herself.
Her story had great effect upon the
audience in the courtroom, all of whom
believed she would have been acquit-
ted on the grounds of justifiabIe hon.
icide. She was taken to Waupun at
once while petition for her release
on parole was being circulated.

PERRY DATES REMAIN SANE
Dispute Over Victory Celebrations at
Green Bay and Milwaukee is
Finally Settled.

Mllwaukee.-The local Perry's vic
tory centennial committee has receiv-
ed telegram settling the yexed cues,
ton of the date OF the visit of the
Niagara and its attendant feet to Mil
waukee
The Niagara, rehabilitated after it's
100 years at the bottom of tba har-
Dor at Erie, viii reach Milwaukee Aug.
and remain in this port until Aug. s.
Inc date for the Milwaukee celebra-
ton was set originally for the week
OF August 3, and all arrangements had
been made with that week in view
The celebration at Green Bay was set
for the week of Aug. 10 and Green
Bay arranged a great homecoming in
connection with the celebration for
that week.
Very recently, however, the national
committee decided to change these
dates in order to permit Detroit and
Chicago, late Corners in the field. to
receive visits from the Niagara and
the fleet. The committee proposed to
set the Milwaukee celebration over to
the week OF Aug. 10 and the Green
Bay celebration to the following week.
a determined protest from both
cities was caused by this decision.
Green Bay having expended several
thousand dollars in preliminary work
and made contracts for all the features
OF the Homecoming celebration and
centennial, while Milwaukee, for whom
the national committee intended the
week OF Aug. 10, found itself utterly
unable to take care of the celebration
then. because of the German Cath
Ole convention, which is expected to
fill the hotels to overfiowing during
that week.

CATTLE DISEASE A MYSTERY
dalady Makes Appearance Over Night
and Animals Are Starved and
Clicked to Death.

Grand Rapids.-A new and strange
disease is attacking cattle in the vi
entity of this city 1t has proven
fatal to almost every animal that has
contracted it and veterinarians have
been unable to check the growth of
the disease after it has secured a grip
on an animal. A COW may be all right
when MIXED at night and the follow
ing morning be found with a huge
swelling under the neck, unable to eat
and apparently choking. 1t is thought
it is the same disease which attacked
cattle in Massachusetts several years
ago and for which no cure has been
discovered. The only fact known in
regard to the malady is that it is con
tagious.
