Washington, D. c., July 31-The
second big demonstration that the
advocates of woman suffrage have
held in the national capital this year
took place today and was carried out
far more successfully than the similar

ject of the demonstration today was
to present petitions to the senate ask
ing that body to pass Immediately
a constitutional amendment enfran-
chising women all over the country.
The demonstration was participated
in by delegates of suffragists from
many States. The delegations rem
dezvoused during the afternoon at
Hyattsville. Md, where they were Off
cially greeted by the Washington suf-
fragists and escorted into this city in
automobiles. At Hyattsville there
was a programme of speechmaking
in the public park and the raising of a
suffrage flag.
Upon arrival in the capital the par
ade of automobiles proceeded south
on 14th street to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and then on to the Capitol The
presentation of the petitions to the
senate was accompanied by brief ad-
dresses delivered by several of the
national leaders of the equal suffrage
movement.

tariff would in practice be "a tariff
for revenue" The revenue can be
increased more frequently by reduc-
ing rates than by increasing them.
"The present tariff, if thoroughly
overhauled, could be made to pro-
duce a great deal more revenue and
at the same time not cost the taxpay-
ers one-fourth of what they now pay,
for under the present system where
one dollar goes into the federal treas

should be ascertained. The moment
the rate on any article goes above the
maximum revenue-producing rate the
revenue begins to fall off, and the
more the rate is increased the more
the revenue dwindles until it disap-
pears entirely, and the rate becomes
prohibitive.
"Such is the case with blankets

cents per pound, an article of prime
necessity on which the compound

tariff tax of between 1865 and 1872 1-2

tails, it is safe to say that three-fourths
of all the tariff rates of the Payne

Puttinq Trees to Bed.

An interesting method Of protecting
peach trees from frost during the win
ter has been practiced for several
years at the agricultural experiment
station at Canyon. Colo. Early in No
vember the earth is removed from a
circle about four feet in diameter
round each tree. and water is turned in
to saturate the soil. When the ground
has become soft the tree Is worked
back and forth to loosen the roots and
is then pushed over on it's side. The
branches are brought together and
fastened with cord. and burlap Gov
cred with earth is put over them.
Thus the trees lie snug until spring,
when the covering is gradually ZOOS
ened and finally removed, and they are
raised and propped up.-Rocky Noun
