Susan B. Anthony Began 1t

Life has issued pro-suffrage num-
Der, and naturally among the contri-
buttons is one pointing to the begin
ming of the agitation for votes for
women which was made by Susan 3.
Anthony, who by her devotion to the
cause became more widely known
than any woman resident of Roches-
ter.
The article runs as follows:
Zone election day forty years ago,
Susan B. Anthony walked into a
polling booth in Rochester, N. Y, and
put vote in a ballot box. She did it
to test the constitution of the United
States, which defines citizenship as
all persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jur-
isdiction thereof
"She was tried for illegal voting
and fined $100 and costs of trial.
Thus began one of the first con-
spicuous efforts to gain political ex-
preston for woman, movement that
has gained followers every year
while calumny and ridicule have but
increased it's zeal, and it will continue
militant and courageous till this con-

Cutting a SWath

Walt Mason: I'd hate to scoot
around the town in costly motor car,
and have folks saying, with frown,
on corners near and far: "Just
watch that aleck-how he goes! He's
raising quite a fuss! But if he paid
up what he owes, he'd go on foot like
u.s." | might start out with spirits
gay, but soon I'd lose my grip, for
knowing people talked that way would
spoil my little trip. I'd want to see
my chug-chug cart and other costly
pets, and rustic in the changing mart
until paid my debts. I'd hate to see
my loving frau in precious stones be-
decked, diadem upon her brow and
necklace all correct, if l had reason
to suppose that people standing
round were saying, "There that wo-
man goes, with diamonds by the
pound! And if her husband paid his
bills-which he won't do, alas!-she'd
have to ornament her gills with pen
dants of plate glass" l wouldn't like
to entertain in gorgeous, princely
style, if l believed there was pain
behind the guests sweet smile; if
people in my dazzling halls should
whisper, as will bores: "Just see the
paintings on the walls, the carpets on
the floors! Just mark the priceless
bric-a -brac! But if he paid his way,
his home would be two-room shack
or boarding house, today" l couldn't
stand that sort of thing; I'd be i'm
mensely bored; and so I'll only buy,
by jing, the things I can afford.

MOTHER. If CHILD'S
TONGUE is COATED
If Cross, feverish, cOnstipated, bilious
stomach sour, give california
Syrup of Figs"

A laxative today saves sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged up
with waste, liver gets sluggish; stom-
ach sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! II
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's all
ment, give teaspoonful of "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" then don't worry
because it is perfectly harmless, and in
few hours all this constipation pois-
on, sour bile and fermenting waste
will gently move out of the bowels,
and you have well, playful child
again. A thorough "inside cleansing"
is oftimes all that is necessary. 1t
should be the first treatment given in
any. sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the "Cali-

stitution which can be interpreted to
suit any whim of authority shall have
an amendment that will declare
women to be persons with right to
vote.
"The spirit of revolt as shown IN
the action of this splendid woman is
abroad in the land
"a new generation of women is i'm
bued with Susan B. Anthony's pur-
pose to vote for the right as they see
it, and help make the laws that rule
the lives of their children"
Opinions are divided on the ques-
tion of the desirability of voting
women, and the majority are still on
the side of allowing to men only the
privilege of casting ballots. What
ever the stand taken, however, the
name of Susan B. Anthony is remem-
bered with admiration by all. Hers
was life of undivided devotion to
one object There will never again be
seen suffragist leader to equal her
in self-sacrificing work for the cause.

FrenchwOmen Industrious

New York Sun: "One of the
things which impressed me most dur
ing a month just spent in Paris, said
a New York woman, "was the cease
less industry of the French working
women. Not only was every minute
occupied, but usually these tireless
workers seemed to be getting double
return from their time That young
woman who came for our washing
appeared at our apartment door knit
ting in hand. She carried the clothes
home on her back, knitting as she
walked along. Our little maid of all
work kept her crocheting in the
kitchen and while the meals were
cooking on the funny little gas stove
she crocheted as though her life de-
pended upon it, and so far as l could
see neither the cooking nor the lace
work suffered because of her divided
attention. When the doorbell rang
she walked down the little hall, still
crocheting. l surreptitiously put Il
mark in her lace work during her
busiest days and it was. astonishing
to find how much she had accom-
plished in spite of almost constant
Interruptions.
"Then down at the market in the
Place de Palma | shall never forget
my surprise at watching the market
women knitting and crocheting as
they tended their stalls. When a pur-
chase was made the handwork wa,
stopped barely long enough to de-
liver the goods and the change.
"The French women whose lives
ora cpant on tho GREAT harUec on the
Seine seem to know the art of doing
several things at once. I remember
standing on one of the bridges watch
ing young mother at the stern of a
big barge balancing herself as she
nursed her baby and steered the boat

Diaz Fxpected Home

Vera Cruz, Oct. 20.-General Felix
Diaz, nephew of Porfrio Diaz, pres
ident-ruler of Mexico for so many
years but now exiled, was expected
to land here today from the steamer
Corcovada, which sailed from Hevre
September 20. Federal officials re-
fused to discuss rumors that young
Diaz, who started the revolution
which ended in the overthrow and
cold blooded murders of President
Madero and Vice-President Suarez,
and the usurpation of the presidency
by Huerta, would be arrested on the
latter's orders. Diaz was sent abroad
on a special mission by Huerta. 1t
was charged at the time that Huerta
practically exiled Diaz rather than
do away with him, for fear of arous-
ing the Diaz adherents against him.
Some days ago it was reported that
Huerta had ordered the arrest of Diaz
Immediately he lands, on charge Of
leaving post to which he was or
dered by the president.

hardly wait for ships to pass through
the cut, and all Western Canada is al
most as excited about it. The cause of
this interest in the waterway is the
Oriental immigration.
One out of every nine persons m
British Columbia is now an Oriental
and the influx continues, notwith-
standing the strenuous efforts of the
colony to check the movement. The
imperial privy council has steadily
overriden it's objections to these peo-
pie, and the recent establishment of a
steamship line between India and
Vancouver via Yokohama has aggra-
waited the situation which the imperial
policy has refused to abate. The in
habitants now see no way out of be-
ing Orientalized, as they express it,
except by white immigration from
Europe; and this they hope will come
to them when the Panama canal is in
working order. Their endeavors to
obtain white immigrants from Europe
have failed through the demands for
settlers in the new Northwest and be-
cause "Canada's back door" does not
seem to allure much of anybody who
now leaves Europe.
The Australasian colonies also look
for help against Orientalism from the
canal, though in less degree needing
it. Yet they are afraid of what may
follow the privy councils decision il1
regard to the Hindus in British Co.
lumbia. To all these hopeful welcom-
ers of the Panama canal we Ameri-
cans will wish that which is for the
best. But whether they obtain it OF
not is dependent on more than the
canal. The fact is that our own Paci-
fic coast is swooping out after white
immigrants and counting on filling ur
its vacant spaces with them. To an
extent, furthermore, it wishes them tc
ward off Orientals.

The Colonies and the Canal

Providence Journal: 1t is rather
curious to note that while England is
frowning on the Panama canal, as a
result of the tonnage tax. Australia,
New Zealand, British Columbia and
Western Canada are SO pleased with
il. despite our objectionable breach
of faith, that if the American gov
crnment wished to argue the propriety
of the levy regardless of fairness, the
contention could be honestly urged
that the British empire was being
united on the question. These colon
les wish the canal to be opened as
soon as possible, and wish it with a
fervency which is becoming particu-
larly marked as the months go by.
