Catholic Women Are Urged to Join Fight
 Against Suffragettes

Cincinnati, April 11--Antf-suffrag ist leaders in Cincinnati and vicinity were interested in an official letter issued by Archbishop Moeller of the Cincinnati diocese of the Catholic Church in which he opposes woman suffrage and urges members of the faith to declare themselves against the movement.
 In his letter the Archbishop says:
 One of the burning questions of the day is that of woman suffrage It is a movement that does not ap- peal to us because we feel that it will bring women into 9 sphere of activity that is not in accord with their re- tiring modesty. maidenly dignity and refinement. We fear that suffragette women will cease to be the queens of the home
 We have been advised that the anti-suffragettes are endeavoring to prepare list of women who are op- posed to universal suffrage. We re- quest the women not to fail to sign the anti -suffragette list.''

44t4D TATE BEEN KIND


 Fortune, Fortune. wilt thou prove An unrelenting foe to love;
 And when we meet a mutual heart Come in between and bid us part"
 It's an old trite but true saying that there are few women in the world who have not indulged in needless grieving over some ne'er-do-well, fckle man In their lonely moments, they worry over what might have been.
 They wonder if he ever gives 9 thought to the sweetheart of other days, and would live over the tender, beautiful past again. if it were pos sibIe. She remembers every spoken word, all the sentiment that was in his letters and her happiness in his presence in those other days.
 She ponders over the trif1e which parted them. The thought flashes across her mind. Is it too late for fate to be kind to her? Is there a way of bridging over the past and be- coming reconciled with each other? interested in any other man. Each and every one has suffered in com parison with him. The man whose memory is still in her heart had a nature which attuned itself to hers. He was sympathetic, generous. cour- 
 studied her every wish, and was nev CT wanting in his efforts to add to her comfort. Jealousy which has parted so many lovers, caused their es- arrangement. Both of them were proud and neither would make the first ad- vance towards reconciliation She who hirts desperately, to forget finds that she has pursued the wrong course to win
 A Better Lover
 The right kind of a marriageabIe man does not want the girl for a sweetheart who has no difficulty in being lon with a new love before she is off with the o1d.'' Thus she is left ma.teIess at last, alone and heart hun gry What a pity it is that women will waste their lives in grieving over that which vas really a blessing in disguise to them.
 If women could look in upon the homes of the men whom they couldn't get, they would rejoice exceedingly that they missed the object upon whom they once set their heart The woman whom the ne er-do-welI does marry no doubt wishes from the depths of her heart that his first love had married him instead of it being her unhappy fate She often wonders, as she sits watching for him to come home in the wee sma, hours, what the other woman would have done were she in her place, under just such disheartening cfrcu1n- stances; what she would have said to him had he come home to her at any old time expecting his dinner to be hot and the table to be loaded with food, though he contributed little or nothing to it's purchase. Would the first sweetheart, after she had welded him, have taken in sewing to make S7<x baker and the candIestick maker might be paid, aye and the landlord, too,-that they wouldn't have to move every month? Would she have stood | for his sneers and abuse if she re- fused him money for cigars when she could scarcely eke out sufficient mon- ey to buy baby needed fannels? She thinks how kind fate was to the other l girl when she missed him. Everyone should consider that whatever hap 1 pens must be tor the best

MRS. TAFT AN ANTI.

New Haven, April 11-Mrs. William Howard Taft las joined the anti-Suf- frage society of New Haven. As the daughter of the late Judge Heron lectuaIs taste and of great exc :utfye ability. The suffragists have claimed her sympathy manxz times and it is a great Satisfaction to the anti.ss that she has identified herself with their cause.

 the conting gencies in women getting appreciated Men innately seek to please women,s to aid them. to curry their good favor That being the case women having secured the vote, the politicians among the men will cater to the bad element among the women, but forget that they are of human and not divine fabric as well as the men, that they are essentially creatures of emotion as they are claimed to be, and that they can be bought in quite another way from man and far cheaper In view of
 Mrs. kelly's revelation of conditions l in Colorado, Miss Boardman's pro-
 phecy seems to have been already full | filled. Miss Boardnan continues: I"CoIorado has better child labor laws than New York and Massachu-

TALCUM POWDER.

Get the talcum powder habit!
 Moreover, after having acquired the habit. be sure you get what is purest and best in the product.
 y Talcum, as we know, is a soft, very fine, pink or white powder, usually very highly scented Originally, it is a hard, grayish substance mined from the earth in big slabs. Ta1cum comes from Italy, France, Austria, Canada and the United States. and va rious other countries Chemically considered, it consists principally of silicate of magnesia. A process of powderiDg, cleaning, purifying, siftin g and bleaching, gives us the form we are familiar with, while pink or flesh cOiored talcum is produced by tinting.
 The best talcums are those of the most extreme fneness. The coarser so called ta1curn is not talcum at all but a mica preparation, and mica is not good for the skin. Never buy a cheap talcum powder. Buy one that has been boIted many times and you get a powder that will not irritate a tender skin-
 The uses of ta1cuTn are as varied as they are important. Aside from its use as a face powder and toilet appIi- cation, pure talcum protects the face against windburn and absorbs the per spiration on any part of the body, de- stroying the foreign odors.
 On baby's tender skin, pure talcum prevents chafing and allays all smart, and sting of irritation. Never buy a cheap taIcum powder for baby.
 Baby's Father should use it also. There is nothing more adaptable or prevent the smarting of a too close shave, and gentlemen also appreciate it as a finishing touch to their toilet.
 Do not buy a talcum that is too

CAN IT COME BACK
w. A. White Discusses Future
Progressive Party.
Negligible in VOtes-LOud in
Noise, He Says.

william Allen White, writing for
the Saturday Evening Post this week,
has published one of his most clever
short stories in a review of the short
life of the Progressive party and its
hopes for the future. White looks at
the recent uprising not SO much
from the standpoint Of the ardently
enthusiastic Bull Moose national COM
mitteeman whom Kansas politicians
have known, as from the standpoint
of a man who feels a feverish public
pulse and tells the condition Of the
patient.
Under the caption, 'sThe Ebb Tide,
Can the Progressives Come Back ~
the well known Emporia man dis
cusses the affairs, of the Progressive
party in part as follows:
ION the face, Of the returns from
the recent election the Progressive
party has suffered slump OF about
eleven-sixteenths" of it's 1872 vote
that is to say. the vote for Roosevelt
was something like four millions. and
the votes polled by the Progressive
candidates in the various states, ac-
cording to the unofficial estimates, ap-
pear to number about a million and a
quarter.
Now there are two opinions about
the reading of these facts: One opin-
ion declares that any further discus
sion of the Progressive party should
DC IN the nature OF an autopsy, the
other opinion contends that we have
just witnessed a christening. Time
only will tell whether the Progressive
party is coming or going-whether it
is taking its first breath or giving its
last gasp; but certainly we have just
witnessed, in the campaign recently
closed. a most interesting political
episode.
Probably never before in the his
tory of the United States did a group
of people in an election make SO large
a noise for SO small a vote. Process

Well, here's where the debate begins;
for the question is: What was the
result?
eff one estimates it in votes it is
almost negligible; If in noise its tom

dating His Mother.

Alleging that he inundated their
mother. who has been dead for MANY
years. into giving him a deed to the:~
property at 81 Lime street, Julia A. Dice
brought suit to set aside the deed against
her brother. Jacob A. Dice, in the dis
trict court this morning. Jacob A. Dice
is employed in the city street department
The property in dispute is valued at about
$3.50.
The representations made by Miss Dice
are that she and her brother made their
home with their mother in the year 1904 In
that year the mother made a conditional
transfer of the property to her son, stipu-
lating that he should pay the sister the
value of half interest in the property.
The deed was placed in escrow in the
hands of James A. Troutman of this city.
The petition recites that shortly after the
first deed had been placed in escrow the
son obtained from the mother warranty
deed for all the property and he placed
it on file with the county recorder. This
deed. she says, was obtained by threats
of violence and improper arguments and
