NEVER ENDORSED SUFFRAGE.
Former Secretary Of State Warns
Against California Experiment..

Former Secretary of State John w.
Foster, upon returning from four
months stay in California, issued a
statement yesterday in which he sums up
the woman suffrage situation in this
country, ana declares that the older
States of the East should exercise the ut
most caution before granting an equal
franchise. The former Secretary's state
ment is made, he says, to refute pub
lished statements that he Endorsed wom-
an suffrage in an address in California
Mr.. Foster declares that in actual
practice woman suffrage has not proved
an unmixed blessing. He says the
amendment giving women the vote in
California was adopted by minority of
people.
In urging that the Eastern States be
conservative, permitting the new States
of the West to be experimental upon,
Mr.. Foster says: when they shall have
shown by a full test that these revolu-
tionary methods of government are wise.
IL will then be time enough for the
older States to abandon. the forms of
government prescribed by our Federal
Constitution, and under which we have
grown to be a great and prosperous ma
fion"

MARCH WAS UNUSUAL.
Last Month Contributed an Excess
of Wind and Heat.

More than usually interesting, in view
OF the elementary disturbances, is the
Weather Bureaus analysis of meteor
illogical conditions for the month Of
March. 1t was q warm month. but by
no means a record-breaker. The mean
temperature was AZ, while the established
normal is only IS. Only three times dur
ing the forty-three years of official OBJ
servations has the temperature been as
high, and only three times one or two
degrees higher. The highest point reach
ed in any one day was 70, while the abb
solute maximum for the period stated
has been 7S.
Against normal of 4.s1 inches of rain
we are short over an inch of the amount
we are entitled" to since January !.
Our accumulated excess of temperature
for that time has been 6o2.
March was a windy month. The total
movement of Boreas was 1856 miles, the
nearest we have come to five figures in
many months. The prevailing direction
was southeast. The maximum velocity
was forty-six miles an hour.
One of the unusual features was 30.91
inches as the measurement of atmos-
pheric pressure on March IS, which was
higher than has been noted in years
before.

on the Clear Creek road which is in
need of repair 1t was found that a
number of slides had occurred and
that debris had filed many OF the
places along the route This road is
probably as important as the Kings
Canyon route, as this is the road us
ed by teams, while the autos take the
Kings Canyon. 1t was found to be
unsafe last season by those driving to
Glenbrook to take the Kings Canyon
as the autos came plunging down the
road at a speed impossible for team
ing.
On account Of the light winter the
Clear Creek road is in better shape
than usually in the spring. The
Ormsby Commissioners will repair
this roadway as far as the county line.
