sUFFRAGIsTS TURNED DOWN
President Wilson Refused to Send
Votes for Women Message to
Congress.

Misunderstanding delegation
OF American militant suffra gettes,
President Wilson refused to send a
special message to Congress urging
votes for women.
The President also declined to in
corporate such a suggestion in one of
his regular messages. And, until Con-
gress itself asks him to, he said, he
could not recommend that the House
appoint a committee to investigate the
question of suffra ge.
However, the President was so diplo-
matte in handling the delicate ques-
ton that the women left him satisfied
that if he ever gets the opportusity he
will aid their cause
The President based his refusal on
the fact that his private views could
not govern his actions. As leader of
his party, he insisted that only such
organic questions as had been passed
upon by a national convention or a
conference of elected representatives
of the party were subject to his action

that wholesale prices are forced down

The territory covered comprises ii1-

Denver.-The severe snowstorm,
which had completely tied up all forms
of business in Denver and Central
Colorado, had ended, according to the
weather bureau here and clear but
colder weather was forecasted. With
freezing weather came anxiety as to
the maintenance of telegraph and tele-
phone communication, which alone
saved Denver from absolute isolation
for twenty-four hours.
The total amount of snowfall in the
storm was given, officially, at 45.5
inches, or 2.52 inches precipitation.
Denver has been placed under vir-
tual martial law with the police of the
city directing all movements of traffic
and pedestrians.
One of the greatest hardships &C
companying the storm was the ex-
IRENE shortage of coal. One of the
largest hotels in Denver has been
forced to close. Office buildings have
exhausted their supply of fuel and
were forced to close. Other hotels,
housing hundreds of marooned trades
people, fear they will be unable to get
coal.

MORALITY AND FASHION.

1t may be argued with considerable
force that more harm than good has
been done by the illumination of NOR
eHsts against the slit skirt and di-
aphanous gown What these philip
pics have done in chief is to empha-
size the comparatively few cases of
extreme styles and kept the prurient
aspect of the subject constantly be-
fore the public The mind that is
stirred to evil by the slight reveal
ment of the average slit skirt needs
no special excitant. 1t is unwhole-
somely prurient and will find evil any
where 1t is childish to believe its
prurience can be so created, says the
Chicago Tribune. Purists are con-
stantly exaggerating the Importance
stimuli and attacking symptoms in
stead of causes. If there were more
sermons preached against impure
thoughts and fewer against objects,
often of themselves quite innocent,
which purists are afraid will stir i'm
pure thoughts. more progress would
be made If our minds are SO unclean
that we cannot see the lines of a wom-
ans body without impure suggestion,
the cure should be applied to us, not
to her. IF thine eye offend thee, pluck
it out" has a meaning as valid now as
ever.

Some American editors have just
learned that in France and Germany
recruits for the army who come from
some rural districts are inferior in
stature and stamina to the young men
bred in cities. The result of this new
knowledge is an amusing set of spec
ulations as to the way modern science
is making the city the best place in
which to rear children. The real ex-
PLANTATION is very different Defective
rural recruits come from sterile re-
gions known to ethnologists as mis-

are SO hard as to stunt growth and i'm

France is found in the Limousin hills,
not very far from Limoges. A little
district in those hills has one of the
shortest populations in Europe. Re
cruits from this place are bound to
make a bad showing when compared
with those of Paris, whose population
is drawn from all France, and, there
fore, represents the average of all
France. Modern science has done
much to make city life healthier than
before; but it has not yet enabled cit
