MRS. HALE
Advances the Cause of Woman
Suffrage before Large and
Representative Audience.

A large and representative audi
ence heard Mrs. Beatrice Forbes+Rob-
ertson Hale advance the cause OF
woman suffrage in forceful address
at the Masonic temple Monday even
ing. Mrs. Hale proved herself a
forceful speaker and held the rapt
attention of her audience throughout
her address.
She spoke of woman suffrage Ss a
live iseue and said that the rights OF
women would be extended as ciyiliza-
tion advanced, and that wherever
women voted the ballot would be
used in the interest OF the home. She
condemned the militant tactics Of the
English suffragets.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. olandus West in few fittlns
remarks.

The aPsycholOgicals Depression.

The Telegram has real pity in its
heart for the Democratic editorial
writers who have been assuring us
the last several months that there has
been no depression of business as
consequence of the Democratic tariff
bill that was passed away back In last
October and Of other threatened Demo-
cratic legislation. The pity is aroused
both because a reasonable period of
transition for an adjustment OF con-
ditions under the tariff bill has long
since passed with business affairs
steadily growing worse instead of bet
ter, and because President Wilson has
at last been forced publicly to admit
that there has been slump in bust
ness. The presidents admission puts
the tariff apologists in rather bad
light and there seems to be no hope
for them.
The presidents statement was called
forth by a petition presented to him
by the National Implement and We
hicle Association, the Ohio Manufac-
turers' Association and the Illinois
Manufacturing Association, represent
Ing in the states named S3,164 factor
les employing 1,0S4,00O men at an an
nual wage of 1896, 900, asking that
the administrations antitrust legisla-
ton program be postponed for the
present.
President Wilson, in the course OF
his reply, said that while he was
aware of the present depression of
business there was abundant evidence
that 1t was merely psychological; that
there Is no material condition or sub
stantial reason why the business OF
the country should not be in the most
prosperous and expanding condition.
This reminds one of the old anecdote
about the lawyer who was summoned
to a jail for the purpose of defending
man and who, upon seeing his client
behind the bars, shouted They can't
put you in Jail for that" They can't"
retorted the enraged prisoner; why,
you blooming fool, they have" So ii
appears to be in President Wilson's
dilemma. There cannot be any bust
ness depression except as a delusion
or mental disorder; Vet we have th>
business depression and the president
admits that such condition exists,
a wheeling newspaper puts it about
right in saying that while diseases OF
the mind may occasionally be quite
serious it will be hard to convince the
working man who has been employed
little more than half time or who
has had his wages reduced that his
luck Of employment is due to any
mental affection.
II there has been any psychological
condition that has retarded and de.
pressed business. something must have
caused such a condition. Anyway, the
presidential admission is significant;
and the Telegram is wondering, still
with real pity in its heart, how the
Democratic apologists are going Ia
extricate themselves from their pre.
dicament,

and ask for an executive order which
would permit this old wounded soldier
to keep his employment. No answer
has come to this letter, but il seems
clear, in view Of all the circumstances,
that It will not help Sutherland out
much when it does come.
In response to the first Sutherland
communication came this from Tum-
ulty, secretary to the president: 81
am enclosing copy of a letter which
received from the postmaster general
IN the case of Mr.. George B. Douglass.
am sorry 1t is not more favorable. /"
That to Sutherland! The copy Of
the letter enclosed, from the post
master general addressed to Tumulty,
was: I'm compliance with the re-
quest contained in your letter Of May
20, beg to transmit herewith a mem
orandum in duplicate prepared BY Thu
hrst assistant postmaster general, rel
alive to the postmastership at Petrol
cum, w. Va:
THE list of costoffices for the Date
wide examination for West Virginia,
which will be held in June a, this year,
includes the Petroleum postoffice. As
Mr.. Douglass is over 65 years Of age
ne is not, under regulations (same
made by the present admins
tration) eligible for appointment to
this office, and for this reason the de-
partment does not feel justified in re-
commencing the issuance of an execu-
tive order for the retention of Mr..
Douglass" Signed "A. B. Burleson,
postmaster general"
1t will be noted that the Sutherland
letter is not replied to by the president
to whom the appeal for an executive
order was issued. Nor will the reply
to the second Sutherland letter. ask
ing for an interview with the president
on this case, be likely to come from
the president. The characteristic
evasion when 1t comes to injusices
against the old soldiers seems to be as
popular practice in the executive
offices OF the White House as in the
departments.
But Sutherland is tenacious. He Is
aroused, and he Is not afraid to 90 the
limit, even to "bearding the lion in
his den"-the president himself The
only prospect, however. is knowing
that the fight was fought the best it
could be, although lost.

The SANITY T5lot

The Exponent idiot brazenly APP
peals to men of reason as follows:
Men Of reason, do not, we beg of
you, continue to look upon this de-
plorajble affair as so many of you are
at this time"
This is SO assinine that 1t is really
silly, but considering the fact that It
comes from mental weakllng With
out either reason or principle, there
IS nothing surprising about It.

scorn ad contempt upon them from
many members of their own political

stances surrounding which seem to

The Douglass Case.

There are special national laws ap-
plying to the old soldiers in the gov
eminent service, which are in his
favor and for his protection. No heed
has been given to these laws. Records
for efficiency have counted for naught
with the Wilson administration. The
old defenders are ousted from the ser-
vice day by day, without regard to
law or humanity, All sorts OF ques-
tionable practices OF law evasion are
utilized to GUST the veterans and
fill their places with partisan bench
men. Let senator or a representative
take up the cause of the old soldier
discharged and he meets with any,
thing else but warm welcome and
decent courtesy. Even Senator Golf
has experienced it. Certainly Con-
gressman-at-large Sutherland has as

tatives Avis and Moss have received
the same treatment in response to their
appeals. Mr.. Sutherland's experience
SO aroused his indignation that he de-
livered speech in the House on the
subject. In it he used the case of
George B. Douglass, postmaster at
Douglass is an old soldier, and in
saying that 1t Is not meant to say that
ne is feeble or incaplcatated for his
work. On the contrary, there is ample
evidence that he is both efficient and
trustworthy, and that he is satisfac-
tory In all respects to the patrons of
MS office. Douglass went through the
war. He carries bullets in his body to
prove that he was there, and in the
thickest OF 1t. He has been postmaster
at Petroleum for sixteen years. The
office doesn't pay much, but it is all
he has to live on. Everybody In and
around Petroleum would like to see
him keep the lob; that is everybody
except the man who wants his place.

Chiffon to the Senate. The orkaniza-

This time he agreed to mediation thus

Vera Cruz have finally been landed at
Puerto for Huerta, and in addition the
Bavaria landed guns and ammunition
for the dictator. The excuse for tax
ing Vera Cruz was to prevent guns

landed to be used by him later pos

marines. The administration was
commended for that.
