HEAVY VOTING FOR
THAT $50 CONOVER
BABY GRAND PLANO

Busy, buster, busiest. The Advocate
and his assistants are UP to their necks
in votes since the announcement Of the
latest special award.
A $50 Conover Baby Grand Piano has
been purchased from Percy Foster. the
piano merchant, 1880 G Street Northwest,
and will be given to the person casting
the most votes in The Herald's 81. 900
Contest between the dates of December
28, 1872 and January Is, 1913
This competition is open to all. 1t is
not necessary to be contestant to win
this piano.
All votes must be cast for some con-
testant, and must be turned in not later
than 3 D. m. on the last day Of this
special contest.
All such votes will, of course, go to
swell the average OF the contestant for
whom they are cast in the main contest.
The presentation of the $50 Conover
Baby Grand is a distinct feature, its OBJ
ject being to give fresh impetus to the
vote getting.
This handsome instrument Is on ex-
hibition at the Contest Building, IA
Thirteenth Street Northwest. The public
generally is invited to call and examine
it. The high quality Of the Conover Baby
Grand places IT In the front RANK of
small pianos. It has a superb mahogany
case, and Is faultless In tone, finish. ac-
tion, and construction.

More Light.

1t is more than probable that the
outrages which are unfortunately too
frequent in Washington would not oc-
cur if the streets were better lighted.
1t is all very well to make show
places out of the main thoroughfares.
but it is not fair to accomplish this
result at the expense of other sections
of the city. The policy which seems
to have been adopted is to create an
impression upon visitors Therefore
the fashionable thoroughfares in the
Northwest are expensively adorned
with lamps while streets in less for
tunate localities are shrouded in dark
ness.
The city needs more light and ii
also needs it more equitably distribut-
ed. 1t is pity that the civilian Com
missioners cannot realize that taxpay-
ers in every section are entitled to a
square deal.

Let the Women Parade.

If the advocates of women suffrage
desire to emphasize their cause by an
orderly procession on the evening OF
the Sd of March, why should not they
be allowed to do so?
No adequate or convincing reason has
yet been advanced for refusing the
request.
To assert that a parade of women
cannot occur in the National Capital
without full protection being accorded
them by the police authorities is a
confession of weakness which has no
foundation in fact In the first place,
nobody is going TO start a not and
even if this should be attempted. the
police force will quickly restore order.
We repeat, however, that there will
be no disturbance. The American
spirit of fair play, the innate sense of
chivalry, will be paramount And
everybody knows, too, that the woman
suffrage movement is steadily growing
in popular favor. AT least nine States
have equal suffrage and in large ma
jority of States the women enjoy par
tial participation in governmental af-
fairs.
In the meanwhile, the District Com
missioners seem unable to get together
to reach a decision. The women have
made a courteous request and they
are entitled to a prompt and favora-
bic reply
Why not?
cidentally, if the women who are
psed to suffrage should ask per
ion to parade, they also should be
ted the same rights.
The Washington herald., 1913-01-08
THE OPEN FORUM
Postpone Suffrage Parade.

To the Editor: am suggesting that
the proposed woman's suffrage process
sion be postponed until the first week In
May. Let 1t be then a possible annual
affair in celebration of what has been
gained and what. as a matter of course.
is still to be gained for equal suffrage.
Let us suffragists not at present ask
anything of Congress. What could we
ask OF them but Constitutional amend
ment, which requires two-thirds of each
branch of Congress. and afterward.
three-fourths OF all the States to ratify,
something as yet quite impossible OF at
tainment. When We gain more States for
equal suffrage. then will be time enough
to get the rest by Constitutional amend
ment.
On the other hand, we are quite spoil
ing br some great annual festival IN
May, calling for decorated motors. brass
bands. pageants, floats. &c. which could
take possession of the town. We would
all. or nearly ALL gladly join in that
frolic
II well conducted II would attract out
of-town visitors from everywhere.
What Is the use of wading through
the usual snowy slush OF March and
playing a rather meaningless second
fiddle to a procession which will practi-
cally occupy all the stage at the time
Of the inaugural?

The judge replied in the negative.
The witness was asked why he wrote

The witness replied that he probably
