Clancy Talks
On Railroads

Thursday night the apex of the
Boys Club program was reached,
when Mr.. Clancy, the statistician for
the Southern Pacific, gave an address
to the boys. The early part of the
evening was devoted to some explain
alton of the coming events of the
Boys Club and some musical num-
bers. Simpson and Barney of the
Boys Club gave very pleasing duet
and were encored heartily. Mrs. c..
b. Wolf rendered a solo and the boys
appreciated this number immensely.
Edna Dougherty played piano solo
and received her usual thunderous
applause.
Mr.. Clancy was next introduced.
He spoke on great many phases of
the railroad life and experience, of
which we can only tell in brief. One
of the striking and forcible illustra-
tions given was the smile of the re-
lation of the employe to his position,
being that an employe to position
was the same as a man to n piece OF
mortgaged property. If the payments
were not made, then the property
would revert to its moTtgager; if the
payments to a mans position were
not made, then his position was liable
to forfeiture.
Enter service with spirit OF 10y
atty to your employer" was the re-
mark of Mr.. Clancy. Enter with
that spirit and you cannot help but
rise, no telling how high, in the SER
vice of the company"
He spoke forcibly of the oppression
of the railroads by the growing laws,
by the unthinking people, who popu-
larly demanded that rates be lowered.
The numerous lawsuits which oc-
cur by which INSCRIPTIONS people
prey upon the resources of the COM
pany were taken up and he showed
how the railroads were losing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
year from just such causes.
He stated that the American rail-
roads charge less in both freight and
passenger rates than companies in
any other country of the world. Wa
tered stock was not liable to exist
under such conditions. He said that
unless the laws of the United States
were alleviated in some form or 9TH
er there were many roads he knew
of that would probably 90 into the
hands OF a receiver Mr.. Clancy
spoke with that firm resoluteness
that characteriSes the man of affairs,
the man capable of holding some of
the reins that drive the big iron
horses over the roads and mountains.
Every statistic was at tongues end,
and he spoke with that stern earnest
ness that carried conviction.
Mr.. Weisenborn, artist at work on
the new theatre, was the next enter.
tainer. He Immediately started tc
rapidly sketch with crayon picture
of beautiful vase of flowers which
was placed on table near him. II

Of twelve 12-inch guns and the other
ave each an armament of ten I2-inch
guns. while in the American navy Il
appeared that two had an armament
Zach of eight 12-tnch guns; four ten
Pinch guns. two of twelve 1a-inch
guns and two of ten l4-nch guns
showing the great superiority Of the
American dreadnoushts IN the caiibcr
and power of their guns.
Comparing the two ndvi5s with refer
cnce to dreadnoughts now building, It ap-
feared that the smallest dreadnought now
being built in the German navy is 2G.575
tons; and the smallest building In the
American navy f. 27,c00 tons; that the
largest dreadnoushts building in the Ger
man navy have tonnage OF $500 and
the largest building in the American navy
have a tonnage of 81 100 or an excess %
g. 400 tons over the largest German ship
now building
Comparing the drradnoughts now
building further with reference 10 the
armament, it appeared that the four
smallest German drcadnouehts now build
Ing have each ten Pinch guns and the
two largest now building have each eight
l5-inch guns, while all the dreadnoughts
now building in the American navy have
li-nch guns three of them being sup
piled with 10 each and two u them with
L. each.
1t was further developed in comparing
the American navy with the japanese
navy, that the American navy has ~
battleships and the Japanese navy only 49,
including all those in both novic. that are
built and building.

WOMEN'S TALE OF WOE
MELTS WILSON'S HEART
presidents Are Human" He Tells the SUFFRAGE
Delegation, But He Cannot Declare His
Attitude at Present.

Washington, Feb. Women who toll
daily in the mills and mines and in the
s"eatshops and factories OF the nation
pleaded with President Wilson to-day for
MS assistance to the cause of woman
suffrage. The President regretfullv told
them, as he did a delegation last Decem-
Der, that he could not urge anything on
Congress which had not received the or
ganic consideration of the Democratic
party.
To-day's demonstration, no. the brass
band, the street procession, the colored
pennants and battle flags of the cause
but the tale OF hardship, of the struggle
to live on low wages, Of the sanitariums
for those who sickened at their work,
and the heart breaking tragedies Of
poverty affected the President deeply.
AS the delegation left the executive
offices, discouraged and disappointed
because they had obtained no positive
aid, they did not know that the Presi-
dent himself was deeply depressed, per-
haps even more than they, as he went
to luncheon with his family. He told
his friends afterward that he wished
he could help, but saw no way to do
1t. There is every reason to believe
however that the day gave added slim
ulus to the Presidents desire for early
legislation on social justice and indus
trial reform mentioned in his first an
nual message.

earnest and determined, went to the
Whlte House, but only n committee of
20 with five speakers gained audience
with the President the others waiting
until the argument had ceased and
Mr.. Wilson asked to shake hands with
all.
In voices often choked with emotion,
the five speakers recited tale of
modern industry, which, they said,
knew no chivalry, where old and young
women worked side by side with men
for inadequate wages and under con-
ditions that undermined health. Rep
resentatives of the weavers. the laun-
dresses, the cap makers, the hat makers,
