QUICKER BY STATES

Women Can Get the Franchise
Champ Clark Tells a
Delegation.
tsY ASSOCIATIVE psrss,

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Speak-
er Clark today told the delegation Of
women from the National American
Women's Suffrage Association that
women suffrage is as inevitable as
the rising of tomorrow's sun"
For six thousand years." said the
speaker, men have been trying to
run the world and some think they
have made bad mess of it. l hope
that when you women run 1t you'Il
improve on it. The only question
you folks have to consider is how to
most expeditiously get what you are
after. You can get it quicker By the
states than by Congress. In some
places there is a great prejudice
against woman suffrage. You want
to remember one thing; that if you
lose the fight you are out for years.
Whenever the subject comes up for a
vote in Missouri l am going to vote
for woman suffrage. This is not be-
cause all women are fitted to vote,
and may add that I would not like
to say that all men are fitted to vote.
II you ever do vote, and 1 think it is
coming certainly, hope you will vote
for the best principles and the best
men,"

And His Physicians Say He
/. Should Rest at Least
4 Four Months.
VITALITY IS ON THE EBB
Roosevelt, However, Says It is
Impossible to Give Up
Campaign Work.
ssr AsseelArsp ,asssl


OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 27.-
-Four months of absolute rest has
been prescribed for Colonel Roose-
welt by his physicians, who informed
him that he was suffering from an
enlargement of the spleen and a loss
of vitality as result of the malarial
fever he contracted in the South
American jungles.
But in four months the campaign
will be over" the colonel said today.
Consequently he added he considered
it an impossibillty for him to follow
his physicians advice. He has aban-
doned his campaign trip across the
continent. He also telegraphed to
Plttsburg that he would make only
one speech there on Tuesday night.
Two had been arranged.
The change in the ex-president's
plan came after an examination made
last night by DIR. Alexander Lambert,
of New York. DR.. Lambert came to
Oyster Bay and spent more than an
hour in inspecting his patient. Then
he told him that he must rest for four
months. He urged the colonel to give
up his trip to Pittsburg, to make no
speeches during the campaign and as
far as possible to give up anything
that would tax his strength. He ex-
planned that it would require a long
period to shake of the effects of the
malaria and that If this were not &C
complished the disease might become
SO securely fastened upon him that ne
would never recover his full strength.
1t might even impair his mental Wig
or, the physician said. The colonel
declined to heed the warning. He
said 1t would be impossible for him
to give up his campaign work.

BUYER Is
ROBBED ON TRAIN
And He Has a Man Named
LoWther and Latter's Wife
Arrested at Parkersburg.

PARKERSBURG, June 27.-Upon a
charge preferred by G. E. Rogers, a
cattle buyer of Dola, on the Short
Line out from Clarksburg, ]. E.
Lowther and his wife were arraigned
in Justice A. /. Boreman's court Fri
day for lifting Rogers's pocketbook.
The alleged larceny occurred on Bal
ttmore and Ohio train No. 1, which
arrived here at 1898 a. m. Friday and
while Rogers was on his way from
Clarksburg to this city on business.
The Lowthers reside here. Rogers
claimed that his pocketbook contained
about $3.50 in cash.
The pair were arrested upon the
arrival Of the train here by Baltimore
and Ohio Officer Sans and Officer w.
E. Hickman of the local police. They
were turned over to the officers by
the conductor Of the train. Rogers
IT seems had discovered his loss and
made complaint. One OF the pas
sengers on the train averred that he
saw 1owther with his hands in Rog-
ers's pocket while the latter was
asleep. This volunteered testimony
resulted in suspicion being directed
at the pair and they were taken into
custody upon their arrival. Lowther
and his wife were searched with the
result that $3.50 was found in one of
the woman's shoes while Lowther had
$11 on him. Following the making
OF this find Rogers swore out war
rant before Justice A. l. Foreman,
charging the pair with the larceny Of
$120, which, however, he claimed was
not all the money taken from him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowther when ar
raigned before the justice Friday
waived examination and were held for
the grand jury. Lotwher's bond was
fixed at $1,000 while that of his wife
was fixed at 800, the justice holding
her as a witness only. Neither Of the
accused could give the bond at the
time and were remanded to Jail to
await the action of the grand Jury
which does not meet until September.
However the expectation is that they
will secure their release on bond
within a few days. J.
Lowther, who is only about "a years
of age, is alleged to have served one
term in an Ohio reformatory and to
have been in trouble on at least one
other occasion.

Lot of Comment
The article carried in these columns
last week anent "sniping" created a
lot of comment in window trade circles
and sentiment is practically unani-
nous against the practice Of going
after "on-the-side" business, practice
that creates feeling of uneasiness
and suspicion in the trade which would
eventually result in price slashins
and consequent chaotic conditions in
the industry.
1t required many months OF earnest
painstaking and intelligently directed
effort to place the trade on the sub
stantial basis noted during the last
two years and 1t should be borne in
mind that ill-advised action on the
part of unthinking individuals might
result in undermining the foundation
