Some Opinions on Suf-
frage

The remarks OF the women interviewed In the
course OF this poll on woman suffrage were in
teresting They range from hearty expressions
or approval to vigorous expressions of dissent
Expressions such as the following seem typical
| voted for six years in Colorado and could
not see that 1t made much difference. though
shall be ready for the vote when it comes.
Women ought to get all they can but have
no time to vote myself.
II they want to VOTE let them. but don't care
one way the other.
| wouldn't mind having the vote but I GER
tainly will not go out and parade for it.
Though l might vote II could feel that I
have enough trouble without trying TO run the
politics of the country.
The strong expressions of opinion in favor Of
suffrage seemed to be few. Among them are the
following: <-rr-
| in favor OF the movement but not a
suffragette
I believe that women owning property and
working women in general should vote.
Should women have the right to vote? Yes:
why shouldn't they?
1t might help to make things easier for U.S.
II anything is coming to u.s. want it
We couldn't make a worse mess of IL than the
men, and we might do better.
The opposition was expressed In the strongest
terms of all:
am utterly disguised with the tactics of those
promoting the movement.

II l could

too busy to bother with the suffrage movement
at all.
No time for that: have plenty Of other work
1t Is not a womans business to do a man out
of job Her place is at home.
am afraid to say what think OF the suffrage
movement. My opposition Is so decided.
To these opinions of women women's rights
we add but one more---our own mems rights
That is a matter which In the discussion Of wo
man suffrage seems to be generally ignored.
Where woman suffrage does not now exist it
can be adopted only by the vote OF men. The
men have right TO learn what the women wish.

WHERE is BOWIE STREET?

One suggestion made by Robert Lecky before
the Business Mems club yesterday afternoon is
so obviously sensible and practical that the won
der is that 1t has not been seriously agitated be-
fore this time That was his idea as to the re-
naming of the cross streets west Of First street
so that they would correspond to those to the
east-that is to say, they should be called First
street west Second street west and so forth
AS Mr.. Leeky said knows where all
of our streets are as 1t is impossible to familiar
lie ones self with all the streets in the city and
there is nothing in the names of any of the cross
streets to the of First to indicate their To-
cation. For instance. Foushee street Is the hrst
that fact is known only because 1t is near the
business section of the city Who knows, how.
ever, where Winder street is? Who knows where
Norton street is? Or Bowe? Or kinney? Or
St james? Very few people except those living
In the vicinity. II these were numbered, how
ever, instead of being named their location would
be indicated and one would not have to remem-
her them or consult map of the city when wish
ing TO find them
In Washington this plan is followed with the
addition that the streets running east and west
are called by the letters OF the alphabet prop

PEOPLES FORUM
Explained and Settled.

Editor of The Virginian:
Sir,-We deem that the account of the un-
fortunate incident in Hastings court, part H.
contained in your paper of this morning does
us grave injustice. Mr. Meredith was not or
dered by the court to apologize though he did
voluntarily disclaim any Intentional disrespect
to the court. AS soon he learned that he
had misunderstood Mr.. Rawley's remarks he
at once expressed his deep regret for this misap-
prehension and the occurrence to Mr. Rawley
and the court, which was fully accepted, and
the incident between them happily closed.
Yours truly.

Meredith and Rawley the courtesy OF printing

These boys, together with about
fifty others, ranging in age from nine
years old up, were taken to Elgin to
sell papers during the automobile

an agreement with Bob Hobart, divi-

the automobile races.
Under this agreement we were to |
have our fares paid there and back,
receive $3.50 a day as salary and |
board and room. They brought us |
to Elgin over the Aurora, Elgin &
Chicago Railroad. We arrived there
about 1880 in the morning. 1,500 |
papers were sent on the train with |
us. These were divided among the |
crowd. ~-
when we got there we asked for
something to eat. Hobart told us to
wait. We finally got something to
eat about o'clock in the afternoon.
That was the first and last meal we
got at the Journals expense. When
it came s.night we, asked Hobart
about sleeping. This was about 10

and allowed US to sleep there until
about 5 O'Clock in the morning. The
others slept in box cars and along
the road.
Saturday morning when we saw
Hobart he demanded that we sell
more papers under danger of having
to walk home. He kept promising us
that he would settle. We got moth
ing to eat all Saturday. Hobart kept
riding around on a Journal automo-
bile, smoking cigars and telling us
to hustle more papers.
Every now and then he would tell
US that we were going back on the 9
o'clock train that night. When it
came 8 o'clock we saw him again
and he told us that we would not go
until IL o'clock.
when II o'clock came we could
see nothing of him. We waited until

ly revised edition of the work. The

ment Materials and Industry in the
United States," has just appeared as
Bulletin seq. 1t contains. in some 400
pages of text. detailed descriptions OF
the limestones. marls. clays, shales
M other cement materials Of each
OF the states; and sc far as the inn
portance of the districts justifies 1t.
colored geologic maps, mostly on a
uniform base, are included, so as to
show the distribution of these raw
materials. In addition the new bull
letin includes a summary OF the fac
tors that influence the selection OF
various raw materials, notes as to pro-
cesses Of cement manufacture. and
details as to the history of the cement
industry since 1t began in the United
States. In it's revised form the bulle-
tin will. it is hoped. be of the same
service to the American cement indus
try of the present day that the earlier
issue was to the industry of 1905.
The United States exports very little
cement. the quantity annually shipped
ranging usually from l to , per cent
of the domestic production. 1t is
probable that in the future much
more serious attention will be given
to the export trade, particularly by
the eastern mills. for it's development
seems to be the simplest method OF
disposing of the surplus which now
periodically weighs on the eastern ce-
ment market. OF course an export
trade in a commodity like cement REL
atively bulky and low in value-does
not promise any large direct profit to
the individual producer. but indirectly
the creation and maintenance of such
a trade. will benefit the industry as a
whole. Owing TO the scarcity in most
parts of South and Central America
mi West Indies of the fuel supplies
necessary to the manufacture Of CO.
ment the development of local cement
industries in those promising markets
seems unlikely.

SELLERS BRING
SW|NDLE SUIT
Claims That There Was Nc
Business Though He Paid
Big Price For 1t.

Minneapolis, May 16.-Thomas c.
Sellers. former manager of the Rem
ington Typewriter company in Fargo,
has brought suit against jerome Will
lets in the Minneapolis courts for an
alleged swindle.
MI. Sellers found that Willets
wished to dispose of his supposed
real estate business in Minneapolis
and entered into correspondence with
him relative to the matter. Willetts
claimed that he had one OF the best
rcal estate concerns in the twin cities,
With over 1000 listines. and he is also
said to have declared that he had
made over $1,000 during the winter.
The proposition looked good to Mr..
Sellers. and he resigned his position
with the Remington people and paid
Willets $3.50 down and rave him eight
notes for s25 each for the balance
due. He then went TO Minneapolis
and upon his arrival he claims to
have found himself in possession OF
office fixtures worth about $50. but
with no real estate business. He has
brought suit against Willets to recove;
his investment.

one of the ways by which the profit
column of the chicken business is CIV
en- a boost is in the raising of broilers
n roasters. 1t is good method of
getting rid Of all surplus stock. but
llme and care are necessary in this
branch of the business. To a large
extent it is a business by itself. How
ever. it is we'll that the chicken raiser
know something of it in order that if
he desires to go in for it on a small
scale he will have at least a rudiment-
ary knowledge of it. As a regular
business it requires study and expert
nee.
Three sizes of broilers are in de-
mano-the SQUAD. the small, and the
large. They are usually made as plump
as possible and killed from the sixth
TO the twelfth week. A SQUAD broiler
should weigh from three-quarters of a
pound to a pound. The small broilers.
sometimes called pring broi1ers, weigh
IRON a pound to a pound Inc a half.
while the large broilers weigh from
n and one-half to two pounds.
At twelve weeks a Leghorn, fed ac-
cordlng to h regular method, should
Welgh n and a. quarter pounds; the
american breeds about two pounds.
the English and Belgian breeds about
Two pounds, and the Brahmas about
two and a quarter pounds. Not ali
breeds mature alike. Individuals of
any one may develop more rapidly
than others. and. therefore. the figures
given are general ones.
In both the broiler and the rooster
class, birds with yellow legs and yell
low skin are generally preferred to
the white skin an ddark legs.
Corn is probably the best for fatten-
ing or making the broiler plump. AS
will be readily understood, a fat broil-
er is not often seen, because the
chicks use up nearly all the nutri-
ment for growth. However, all the
f%attening foods should be given espe-
cially when they are almost ready for
sale.
