The BroWbeaten

Of course it's well known fact that only men who have heen coerced by women would champion the suffrage cause. But how many browl,eaten males there are. There are city State and national leagues of the crushed creatures, who are parading, speaking and writing to uphold the votes -for-women idea. Nor is this all, for a large group of prominent men in Washington have organized to help the women in their fight to have Congress pass a constitutional amendment in their favor. It is sad to see the manhood of the country in- oeulated with such deadly versus. From Judge.
 When tho men have given the women the ballot freelv. as they have done here in Alas ka. it is up to the women to make good use of it. Let us use it to vote into power of icers, both locally and terri torially that will work for all hat is best for our town and territory. Let us help elect

MuNIcIPAL PROGRESS.

Effefts for improvement are steadily being made in matters of municipal government, new methods and new plans constantly going into operation which tend te give it a mere business like standing. Clinton Rogers Weed ruff secretary of the National Muni- cipal league, declares in the National Municipal Review that the watch words of municipal progress are Sin pItc.ty, Publicity and Efficiency. This states in very few words what is being attempted to better city government. In the matter of simplicity it is readily recognized that the relieving of a city, like any corporation of as many oon- plexities as possible, works to its ad- vantage. This Is possible in election reforms, the doing away of dual gov ernments and thereby concentrating the responsibilities in fewer agencies.
 Publicity is also one of the greatest aids to good government The open ing of the meetings to the public does not give the full satisfaction which the matter of reports. budgets and other statements of financial standing do when they are issued in convenient form for study and comparison, or which the municipal journals set forth in the way of accomplishments and progress on improvements Efficiency is the greatetst of all and il is that which the other two are intended to assist in accomplishing. MT. Woodruff has made good choice of his watchwords and there are but few communities which could well afford to overlook them in working for municipal pro- greSS.

THE TAM o'sHANTER.

French women are still wearing tam o'shanters. This seasons vogue is rather small, with a brim that rolls very slightly. They are usually deVel- plush, but occasionally in fur. Just when aigrettes were at the height of the popularity-four, five and even six were being used on hat-the reaction came. Now tiny tufts of paradise feathers or osprey plumes are super seding them. White is usually chosen. The single tuft which often forms the sole ornament on 6 hat is frequently placed on the edge of the brirn. At present feathers are not left au naturel. but are pressed into formal shape, or are simply curved to make loose, fluffy balls. In Paris hats are mostly white. with a sprinkling of rich violet. dull green and steel gray.

THE BOOK woRksox.

Book workboxes are among the nov cities which are destined to attain great favor with women who live in contracted quarters and must conse- quent1y dispense with all articles which are not useful as well as ornamental The w0rkbox is about the size of a fat, best seller novel and is apparently 9 volume having a tapestry or brocad- ed silk covering for it's outer sides and backing. But when examined closely it is seen that the leaf-opening DOT tion also is covered with the fancy material and that it's two sides, acting on ribbon hinges. open hatly and re- veal four sectfoned skeleton frame work equipped with stout silken cording working on the endless chain scheme and running through a series of spools holding silk, linen and cotton threads as well as darnfng strands in various colors. On the inner side of the cov- CTS are compartments for scissors and 9annel-leafed booklets for pins and needles and attached to the outer side of the top oblong strip is a stout hands le of tapestry covered canvas by which the affair may be carried about, if nec- essary. The seams of the tapestry or brocaded silk covering may be conceal ed under a narrow gimp, but an over casting of tinseI thread makes a. less bulky finishing.

SOFT WATER FOR TEA.

A German scientist who has been conducting a series of experiments for the purpose of determining the rela- tive values of hard and soft water for cooking purposes has discovered that the water is very often to blame when the tea, coffee or soup doesn't taste just right.
 For instance, if cocoa is made of soft water, a pleasant and rich drink is obtained, which after short boiling deposits the cocoa powder. Even if the cocoa is made into a paste with Q little water and the cup then filled with hot water, the largest part of the powder will precipitate and the bev- craze will still~be rich and pleasant.
 If, however. hard water is used, flakes will st once appear and the oil in the cocoa will be seen floating on the surface of the drink. The flakes will soon settle and the beverage Is far less tasty than the one obtained with soft water,
 Similar observations may be noticed in the preparation Of soups or oat- meal, which remain fiaky even after long boiling, h the preparation of tea the hard water causes the forma- ton of thin film

THE CONNECTICUT RIVER BILL.

Indications of the opposition to the granting of the rights to dam the Con- necticut river at Windsor Locks. in congress is indicated by the fact that there Is to be a minority as well as a majority committee report on the prop osition to utilize the river for power purposes and at the same time develop 1t for transp portation, under federal control. Not little feeling has arisen when such propositions have been ad- vanced that the state rights were in Serfered with and that whatever rev. enue was forthcoming should go to the state instead of the nation.
 The development of the rivers and the waterpowers which lie idle in many states is one Of the important steps in the establishment of hydroeiectric plants for the obtaining of cheap power for factory and lighting purposes When 1t concerns navigabIe rivers fl is dealing with waterways in which the government has the power to act. Maintaining federal control over such streams as are naviga6Ie the govern ment Is looked to for their develop ment in the matter of lighting. dredg- ing and protecting the waters for nav igation, and millions of dollars are spent for this purpose. For the con servation of the supply and the pro- lection of the sources. not only has ex- tensive out1ays been made, but still greater are to be asked in the effort to overcome the floods. With such large outlays in behalf of the streams it is but natural that the income to be derived from damuing the stream should go to the government for the continuance of such projects. The op- position to the plan comes from the south and with less force than the arguments which appeal to the major 1ty.

THE MONEY TRUST lNVESTIGA-
 TON

Failure to get the proper authority from congress to carry on it's inves legations further the Pujo committee named to inquire into the money trust seems likely to make a halt long be- fore it's duties are carried out in manner satisfactory to themselves. They lack both time and authority to complete their task within the life of the present congress and submit their report thereon. It has been thankless task upon which they have been engaged and save from making positive what has always been be- lieved. their accomplishments have not been fruitful of the results which were expected from their mission This they realize themselves in their curtailed power of inquiry having forty witness es who have not been reached and who under their present plans will not be called.
 It is an important question which they have before them. one which needs legislation as greatly as other trusts have needed it. or do. About all that can be said of this committee is that a. start has been made from which there will doubtless result rec concentrations for legislation in which the stock exchange and the control of the money market are likely to figure most prominently. Unable to do more now the committee has decided we'll when it plans to stop and get it's re- port of progress and recommendations ready. with the idea of doing we'll what 1t could do and working to obtain for any further inquiry the authority which was withheld from them. Judg- ment on the accomplishments of the committee must be restricted in ac- cordance with it's scope of authority.

BEST BLANK FITS.

The all wool blankets are much more economical, even at a greater price, than the mixed blankets containing more or less cotton. Servicea bility. beauty, hghtness and warmth are all in the favor of all wool covering. It will outwear the mixed fabric, will wash better and be serviceable as long as there is an inch of it left. A small percentage of cotton will not hurt the blanket, as it will keep 1t from shrink ing when washed and add to its ap- pearance after being Iaundered. It is scarcely possible for the housewife to detect the small quantity which Is nearly always used in the "all wool' iankets sold as such is most stores. When cotton is used it is mostly used in The warp.

A NEW FUDGE.

Marshmallowed fudge is sure to be liked by children, so for your little party make this confection at home. Place one cup of cream and two cups of powdered sugar in a saucepan and stir gently to avoid sticking or burning this point add one-quarter pound of chocolate and keep stirring until all is melted Allow all to boil for about ten minutes, or until the soft boil stage Is reached. Then put in a bit of butter (about one and one- half inch cuhe) and stir until thoroughly mixed.
 Take the pan from the fire and beat quickly for six minutes or longer, then pour into buttered pan containing marshmallows, nuts and candied cit ron.
 These are scattered through the fudge. Some prefer candied cherries cut into halves to the eitron. but it is all a matter of taste.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
VoItaire.

My objection to Voltaire is not that he was an ''infdel," that is to say, not that he opposed the prevailing religion of his time, for I feel quite sure that I should have hated it myself, and Voltaire really exposed the abuses of ecclesiastical tyranny and assumption, and never hurled his lance at genuine reverence, mercy and justice.
 But the fault find in him is that he was fundamentally ~0Dosed to democ- racy, and to me democracy, as Dr. Ly- man Abbott puts it. is not a political theory, 1t is religion.
 .'In all his career as poet, as story teller, as historian or philosopher" writes Robert Cullen, .'VoItaire never deigned to throw a plying glance upon the common ~Aople, who, in his eyes, were always to be moulded and guid ed.''
 When the people begin to reason. all is lost" is one of Voltaire's apo thegns.
 And another is: Tt is better that the people be guided than that they be in strncted; they are not capable of in struction.'
 So the great Frenchman was an in hdel of the worst stripe, an infidel toward democracy.
 It doesn't take the man who thinks he knows it all very long to tell how little he really knows.

TO SHRINK wooLENs.

The question is frequently asked how shrink wooden goods, and for the benefit of those who have a task of this nature here is a simple method: Wet a sheet and spread it out on a table. Then place one thickness of the goods lengthwise of the sheet Begin at one end and roll sheet and goods together. Lay the roll of goods away on a plat ter or waiter until morning. After un- rolling the goods press on the wrong side with a hot iron. If there should be any doubt about the right side of the goods before shrinking 1t would be bet ter after determining the right side to mark it by sewing a bit of cloth near a corner so there will be no trouble in ascertain;ng the right side after shrinking.

SENATOR MEANS BILL

Working in behalf of government protection of the migratory birds Sen ator Mclean in his bill before con gress has stirred up widespread in terest. He is advocating a measure which makes it's appeal when condi- tions become known, and it is real ized that the agricultural interests of the country require it.
 Referring to the bill the New York Post says: This is no mere response to sentiment It is not intended to catch the bird lovers vote. The pro Ject is based on economic cons1dera- tions and its active supporters include such men of science as William T. Hornaday, Henry Fairfield Osborn. Theodore $. Palmer of the United States Biological Survey, and Edward H. Forbush, ornithologist of the Massa- chusetts State Board of Agriculture The Year Book of the department of agriculture is authority for the state ment that, in a single year (190D, the damage done to crops by insect pests amounted to S42O, ,O0O,0 ,0O0- From the same source we learn that the annual loss to apple-growers from the ravaees of the curculio pest amounts to s12,- 100000, to say nothing of $S,25O.O0O expended each year for spraying trees: that the chinch bug danoa ves the wheat crop to the extent of $2o,- 100000 a year. and that the value of the cotton crop is decreased annually by the same amount through the work of the cotton boil weevil, while the gypsy moth and other insects destroy or seriously damage every year trees valued at s1oo, ,oOo, ,0oo"
 With its information upon the sit- nation the agriculture department is called upon to devise regulations to be enacted into law for protection purposes. The absence of the birds would soon demonstrate their useful ness.
