suffragists beg the people TO believe that
there is no connection between the lack
of prohibition. or d temperate regulation
of liquor, in woman suffrage states and
the fact that the women have the bal
lot in those states, but they asked for
the ballot, in those states on the ground
that they would improve the cause of
temperance

GOOD PROSPECTS, FOR

Col. Cosby Sees No Objections
to Establishing Nine-HoIe
Public Course.

II have every reason 20 believe that
ny this time next year there viii be an
excellent nine-hole public golf course near
the north end of lower Potomac Park"
Such was the statement made today by
X. J.. Andrews before a meeting OF the
commerce Mr.. Andrews is chairman of
. special committee which has had the
public golf links matter under considera-
lion for several weeks.
Mr.. Andrews told the members of the
executive committee Of a conference
which he had had with Cot. Cosby, su-
perintendent of public buildings and
grounds. Col Cosby told members of the
committee he saw no reason why a pubs
tic golf course should not be esta blisheG
on lower Potomac Park between the
main channel of the Potomac and WASH
iugton harbor.
No steps To lay out such a course can
he made until next fail. Chairman An
drews was told. for the Department of
certain portions OF lower Potomac Park

Must Prove Two Things.


Price said must prove two things. FIRST,
that the present condition of women is
wrong. and second that the change they
are asking for is right. When Susan
T. Anthony and others years ago asked
for .woman's rights. they knew what
they were asking for. There were Ger
tain Things then in our scheme OE gov
eminent that We're wrong such as IN
sufficient woman's property right laws
inefficient child labor laws. and 50 on
Time has proved that those laws could
be- changed. When the legislatures OF
the states were awakened anu We're
shown that these laws needed changing
they were changed and without giving
women the vote.
There is no doubt that IN this country
especially woman is in special. privi-
legged class The suffragists say they do
not want privileges. but II Is a tact
that the S.Wp0UU woman waS@-eaflerS
the suffragists talk SO much about do
want privileges Considering the many
laws that have been passed by the men
safeguarding the working woman. 1t Is a
fact that the position of woman III this
country today is one of favorable dis
crimina ton. More laws have been mace
in her favor than have been made IN
favor of men.
The suffraSiSts say they plead TOR JUS
tee Justice 10 whom? The state, or
to the individual? We DENY tat any in
diyiduai has d right to anything that 1t
is not to the Advantage of the state for
him or her to have.
The suffragists say they advocate the
cause of temperance the adjustment of
white slavery. the protection OF the work
ing girl in her work. and that TO give
them the vote will bring about a moral
uplift in politics. 1t embarrasses them To
ask them why no state IN which there Is
woman suffrage has ever voted for prohi-
bition

London, Aug 2-Whether an engage

Perry, the fascinating daughter of the
Earl and Countess of Limerick. and
Gustav Hamel, the aviator, remains to
be seen, but the mother publicly smiles
on the young flying man and the progress
of the courtship is watched with in
terest.
During the spring. the peers daugh-
ter went to London to Ey. and the good
looking Hamel escorted Lady Victoria
cIoudwards for IS. Soon afterward, So
ciety was mildly thrilled to see Hamel
in the train of Lady Limerick and her
daughter at many smart balls.
Lady Limerick invariably asked for
Invitations for Hamel, and he was al
ways seen dancing and supping with
the mother and daughter. Little seri-
GUS import was placed on the strange
combination until the last night of the
opera a prominent box party at Covent
Garden comprised Lady Victoria and
Hamel in front, with Lady Limerick
rhaperoning beamingly in the back
ground.
Since then gossip has engaged the
Young people, but no announcement is

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Lopdon, Aug. at Is not only the suf-
fragists that have grievances. Married
women now are filling the press with
walls that their better halves have no
time for lovemaking.
The chief mourners are Lady Cowdray.
whose husband, Lord Cowdray, is the
head OF one of the greatest contracting
firms in the world, and Lady Alexander.
who is married to the actor-manager, Sir
George Alexander.
Lady Cowdray admits the affection OF
a capable business man is of truer worth
than that of the lover-like husband who
lOafs about the house all day and re-
quires more attention than six children.
Lady Alexander, on the other hand,
claims that the business mans quality as
a lover is in inverse ratio to the maSni-
tude OF his business.
Others are beginning TO air their views.
One says she now curses the day which
turned her husband from a business man
with a comfortable salary into a great
fnancier with a huge income"

London. Aug. 2.-There is at least
one American woman who is married
into the British aristocracy, but who
cares absolutely nothing about rank or
class distinction except to denounce
them as wrong. This unusual woman
Alys w. Smith. of Philadelphia. She
is the wife of the Hon. Bertrand Rus
sell. brother of Earl Russell. and sue
cessor to his rank. But. like his wife,
he is thoroughly democratic. and cares
nothing for titles or social distinction.
Russell is now a tutor at Cambridge,
but he will join the faculty at Har-
ward in the autumn, to become one Of
the professors in philosophy.
The Duke OF Bedford. who is at the
head of the Russell family. disapproves
of Mrs. Russell, because she has iden-
tified herself intimately with the cause
of English working girls and makes
them her friends Some years ago she
lived in their midst in the London
slums. Disgusting herself and assuming
a fictitious name, getting different Jobs
in the sweat shops, and taking up her
abode in the boarding-house provided
for the girls by the owners Of the
sweat shops. Thep she wrote articles
in the newspapers revealing the mis-
cradle state of affairs. which brought
down upon her head a volley of wrat
from such aristocrats as the Duke and
Duchess of Bedford and their friends.
Later Mrs. Russell established a home
for sweat-shop girls. and has contrib
