Uncle Sam Hard Hit
By Cost of Existence

That Uncle Sam has been hit by the
high cost Of living, as well as the rest
of US. is shown in the report OF DR.. O..
II. Briggs. OF the general supply COM
mittee. the purchasing organization for
the departments in Washington.
Comparative figures by DR.. Briggs
show that groceries and household sup
plies have Increased Il per cent this
year over last year. Lumber has in
creased 10 per cent. feul and ice, per
cent, and dry goods per cent.
Some things were obtained cheaper by
Uncle Sam on the contracts for the fis-
cal year 1914, but they were supplies
that are not ordinarily needed by the
private family. For instance, forage,
flour and feed in bulk, are 20 per cent
cheaper now than they were last year,
hgurlng Government purchases as a
basis, but there are not many private
families using feed and forage. except
in the form Of breakfast food, which is
not reported as cheaper. Paints and Cils,
hardware, electrical and engineering
supplies. and stationery are also
cheaper
The supply committee has contracted
for more than 1900 articles.

ANOTHER HEARING

WOMEN STRETCHED
TRUTH, SAY ANTS
Statement of Suffragettes That
They Represent 100000
False, According to Answer.

Those women who arrogantly made
to Congress the outrageous statement
that they represented 100000 women
voters, in reality voiced the opinion of
fewer than 1000, 600 women"
This assertion is part of a statement
issued this morning by the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, in which is reviewed at length
the statements made at the hearing
given the National Council of Women
Voters by the House Committee on
Rules, at which time the women urged
resolution to create a committee on
equal suffrage in the House.
, Their speakers a few days ago made
the fat. unqualified assertion" the
statement continues, that they repre-
sented 100000 voters, and they includ-
ed in this number the State of Illinois,
which has only a limited franchise for
women Since this ridiculously eXag-
gerated claim is made for the purpose
Of convincing Congress that a tremend-
GUS number Of women, and therefore a
tremendous number of votes, bear wit
ness to the strength OF the suffrage SEN
timent, the correct figures must be dis
tinctly disappointing to the advocates
of equal suffrage
Omitting the women voters of Illinois,
because they are only partially enfran-
Chised, the statement continues:
The census shows that there are in
these States a sum total Of only 3,397, al
omen twenty-One years Of age or over
and this total of females who have
reached the voting age includes the ig-
nOrant. the foreign born, the unnatural
lied, the colored, the Indian. the Japan
csc and Chinese. The total number of
native born white women of voting age
in these nine States is exactly l,6lS. 396.
The foreign born total is S53,Ol4. Those
of foreign or mixed parentage amount
20 S3S 80.
Consequently under the limitations
and restrictions put on the franchise in
these States il would be more than a
liberal estimate to say that there are
.. $4,000 women voters represented by
the suffrage leaders. But the States that
have granted franchise TO women es-
innate that as a top figure not more
than tWo-thirds of the women of voting
age and condition register. TwO-thirds
of 10000 does not amount to 10000"

TWO ISSUES RAISED
IN JUVENILE COURT
ConstitutionaIity of Vagrancy
Law and Setting Aside of
Fine Bring Up Questions.

Two important legal points have just
been raised in the Juvenile Court of the
District on which it is probable the Dis
trict Supreme Court will shortly be
asked to rule, one involving the consti-
tutionality of the vagrancy law under
which Ethel Edwards. sixteen years old
is being held, and the other questioning
the right of the court to set aside a fine
imposed at a previous term, and to re-
sentence the defendant to a term of i'm
prisonment
In the case of the Edwards girl, her
attorney. John l. Sacks. contends that
the vagrancy law is unconstitutional be-
cause II is vague and indefinite in its
terms and because it makes one mot
giving a god account of ones self gull
ty of vagrancy. This. he claims, vio-
lates the constitution, which holds that
no person shall be compelled to incrimi-
nate themselves.
The young girl, who was charged spe-
officially with staying out late at night
and being in bad company, was found
guilty of vagrancy by Judge Latimer
last Friday. and he ordered that she be
held unless she could give a 500 bond
for her good behavior. She tainted
when she heard the Judgment, and after
being carried from the court room and
revived she swoned again. Seeing that
she was 500 deeply affected. Judge Lat!-
mer ordered her release on the so col
lateral she had deposited at the time OF
her arrest, pending final disposition of
hr case
The other legal question to come up
is, the courts right to sentence a juve-
nile prisoner TO an institution after set
ting aside a verdict given at a former
term. Judge De Lacy. former judge of
the court, sentenced Joseph Jackson.
colored to Imprisonment during his mi
nority in default of his being able to
pay a fine of $40 after being convicted of
larceny. An attorney for Jackson ap-
peared before Judge Latimer Friday
and pointed out to him that the law
forbade a juvenile prisoner to be SEN
fenced for a term to exceed eleven
months and twenty-nine days in default
of the payment OF a fine
Judge Latimer Immediately granted
that contention, but resentenced Jack
son during his minority without any
reference to fine. This second com
mitment. the attorney claims, was not
valid, and the District Supreme Court
will be asked for ruling regarding it,

BASELESS LIES, IS
SUFFERS COMMENT
BOSS of New York Can't Make
Rubber Stamp of Me-" He
Writes to w. w. Bride.

Declaring that the political boss of
New York" could not make of him a
rubber stamp that grafters are hound
ing him, and Murphy and his "hirelings"
are traducing him in every way, and
that there is but little or nothing in the
charges made against him, Gov. William
Sulzer has written a letter to Wash
ington man in which he declares he has
no fear of the outcome of the fight be-
ing waged against him.
To w. w. Bride, a Washington attor-
ney, Mr. Sulzer characterizes most of
the charges made against him as being
baseless. and as pure fabricatio9s.
His letter to Mr.. Bride is as follows:
Thanks for your letter and your en-
couraging words about the struggle here
to give the people of New York honest
government.
Many Obstacles.
You have no conception of the OBJ
stacles in my way. Neither have you
any idea of the difficulties that beset me.
Often am sick at heart; but then words
OF assurance like yours come to hand,
and take renewed hope to go forward
with determination-comew what may.
When the political boss found out
that he could nON control me, and make
=, me rubber stamp, he did everything IN
his power to destroy me poilucaily.
However, ! have no fear of the ulu-
mate result The truth will prevail,
and right makes might. In the future
as in the past, you and all my friends
can rely on me to do my duty as L
see the right. and God gives me the
light, regardless of personal conse-
Quences.
Hounded BY GrafterS.
''The grafters are bounding me. Mr..
Murphy and his hirelings are traduc-
ing me, and trying in every conceiv-
able way TO get mud to throw at me.
However, 1 can assure you there is
little or nothing, in the charges made
against me. Most of the stuff Murphy
and his agents put in the newspapers
about me is baseless, and pure fabri-
cation. They know this, and they know
It will not in the last analysis hurt
me; but they also know il disconcertS
me, and worries Mrs. SulZer.
when Boss Murphy told me he
would destroy me If l did not do his
bidding, ! defied him to do his worst,
and declared l would continue to do my
hest. No matter what becomes of me.
the fight for good government will go
on-ari ultimately triumph. With the
aid Of the decent people of the State,
I shall go forward. 1 cannot do other
