NATIONAL COLLECTION OF CANES

WASHINGTON. d. c.. November -.
An unusually fine collection OF canes
or walking sticks. representing some
forty-fire foreign countries and T.. en-
tY-one States of this country. figures
among the historical exhibits OF the
United States National Museum at
Washington. The greater portion OF
THIS series comprises II collection OF
l52 pieces bequcathcd TO the United
States by the late Homer " Lock-
wood, OF Washington, traveller, geo
Prapher. engineer and statesman For
~ different kinds Of wooden canes are
on exhibition, as we'll as canes made Of
ivory. bone. horn. skin. papor. tin, wire
and other substances. Many OF tho
specimens are very artistic, como are
or curious shape and design, while 9TH
ers. designed for special purposes. in
cludo an emergency cane, containing
whiskey flask: a skctching cane with
craving materials In tho handle; match
safe canes; mountain climbing caues
With sharp spiked ferulcs: an officers
"swagger stick" and sword and gun
canes OF various types
In addition to the above collection
there are number OF walking sticks
in individual family exhibits which
relate TO American hatory. Among
them arc canes carried by Presidents
John Quincy Adams, Jefferson, Grant
Cleveland. and many American naval
and military officers Of note, Including
Lafayette, Schlcy. Dewey, and others,
besides canes made Of wood from his
torical spots or formed from histori-
cal objects.
According TO the belief OF some an
thropologists and cthnologists, tho
cnnc was an implement which found
Its way into tho families OF nearly
every race before history was record
cd. as defensive weapon. or as n stan
or other useful instrument. 1t is
claimed by others that tho word Cane"
Is Tisused in application to walking
sticks, they holding that II means tho
stalk Of a hollow stcmmed plant, but
tho cane made OF other woods Is found
TO have been employed at an early
date in countries where these plants
did not grow. Probably the word comes
from the Arabic. Semitic. or Hebrew,
languages, although IL is also found In
Greek. Latin. Spanish. French and Eng
lish, and In the latter II was COM
pounded into such words as "spearo-
caine." and 'fire-canc." while in other
countries II was used to represent a
rod for punishment, and measuring, az
we'll as the implement employed in
sport or game.
One interesting theory is that tho
Roman cane derived its name from the
TACT that Ii was used to heat of the
savage dogs of tho street: cani, FOR

Feet. There it's general use was soon
prohibited, however since the populace

Woman Suffrage and rroLiLl,,on.


Sr.-1t seems that the secretary Of the vir-
GINA Association Opposed to Womans SuRru so
was nttic premature in her statement OF your
issue of the 9TH instant that no state where
women vote has gone dry since they possess the
suTrnge. for the dispatches OF that same dat .
report that four OF the five equal suffrage States
voted majority for prohibition. The fact or
CaNfcrnias larger male population and it's great
financial interests In tho wincmakinE busincss
also its jealous for success of tho
Pana'na Exposition. probably account for its
fauure to get on tho dry list. Previous to this
victory for prohibition, did not the women OF
Illinois close up 1000 saloons by their votes at
election?
In conversation the writer had a short while
ago with women OF undoubtet varacity who
vote in the States Of California and Colorado
che was told that while none OF the equal suf-
fragc States up to :hat time had gone dry. yet
the women had surely built up much prohbi-
tion sentiment and had given practical evidence
OF 1t by carrying more counties, towns and
cities dry than had ever been done before.
The secretary of tho Virginia Association
Opposed to Woman's Suffrage also stated that
the interests OF womans suffrage and OF prohi-
oltion are not Identical No, the interests OF
prohibition arc not any more identical than are
those OF any other moral reform. The right OF
self-cXpresson. which women all over tho world
are seeking. is but a synonym for every great
movement that makes for frccr, nobler and
purcr humanity
To refute this is to refute tho fact OF woman. 3
superiority so persstently boosted of by tho
male sex, and the loss OF 1t so greatly feared IL
allowed the passport to their political realm.
Gould the women of this State have voted in
the election Of September 90, does any one for
wet? No! On the contrary. instead OF q dry
majority OF about 10000 there would have been
probably $4,000; and in addition, the campaign
expenses OF $4,000 could have been saved to
tho Anti-Saloon League. Also, the notable
victory could have been achieved some years
age. and thereby saved to life and happiness
much wreckagc made by tho liquor traffic.

Investigating street Railways Requests


n PROMINENT by President Smith, of the
Business Mems Club, of committee to
investigate the blanket franchise, running
thirty years asked by the Virginia Railway
ana Power Company, is highly proper s.sp
promising solid advantages
While it is true that the grant or refusa!
of the franchise Is for the decision Of the
city government and within it's exclusive
discretion, interest in this important matter
is not circumscribed. Every citizen of
Richmond shares it. The terms on which
the street railway system of a modern mu-
nicipality shall be operated, and adequate
payment for the privileges the franchise rep
resents, are important not only to taxpayers,
but to every person who rents home or
rides to and from his work.
There cannot be too much light The
company, 1t should be said, has approached
the issue in the right spirit Of frankness and
Willingness to illuminate every phase Of the
controversy 1t should be met in the same
spirit by city administration, business organi-
cations and the general public. 1t Is natural
that the company should desire to obtain the
rights and privileges it asks on the terms
most favorable to it's shareho ders and it is
quite As natural and certainly not more re-
prehensible that the city and it's shareho ers,
who gre the mass OF it's citizenship, should
seek to receive the best possible price for
what they have to sell.
That does not mean that, the company
should be harried or oppressed by burden
some exactons conditions. 1t is foolish
policy that so hampers the operation or cur
tails the credit of public utility corporation
that it cannot supply efficient service or re-
spond to well-grounded demands for expan-
sion. Proper compensation does mean, how
ever. tnat the city shall receive what its
franchises reasonably are worth. That IN
itself is no easy question, and the committee
of the Business Mems Club can help to an
swer il.
