WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The woman
suffrage delegation which stormed the
White house today to line President
Wilson up in advocacy of votes for
women failed in its mission. The
president stuck to his position that he
could not. as leader of the democratic
party advocate any legislation that
was not approved by the party in its
national convention.
The reception OF the delegation
proved one of the most interesting
episodes since the president was in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.Working
women who want the vote had their
inning here today. Some four hum
dred, representing most Of the eastern
states, gathered here to tell the
president their desire.
The entire demonstration had been
arranged to refute the charges made
by anti-suffragettes to congress that
women who earn their bread were in
different to suffrage questions. Ev-
cry woman in the line today was a
worker and most of them were mem
bers Of organized labor.
Two special trains brought the
delegates here last night. They came
from New England, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
and the District of Columbia.
All hoped to influence the president
to cause the house to change its mind
and to establish a special committee
on woman's suffrage to consider the
question in thoroughly Independent

local headquarters early. All were at

s25, ,0oo,ooo ROADS MEASURE.
House Approves Bill by Vote of 2s2
to 42, with Party Leaders
in Its Favor.

Washington.-The Shackleford bill,
under which the government will dis
tribute $25,OOO.OOO for good roads
among the states, conditioned upon a
dollar for dollar appropriation by each
state was passed by the House by a
vote of 2S2 to AZ.
Its passage followed several days of
debate, during which most of the
hundred and more speakers advocated
the project in the interest of the farm
ers, while minority attacked the pro-
ject as a dangerous opening wedge
for heavy future inroads on the treas
ury.
Democratic Leader Underwood, Re-
publican Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Hinebaugh of Illinois, the rank
ing Progressive, all voted for the
measure. Representative Mann said
that the cities could well afford from
their wealth to contribute taxes to aid
the country in construction of roads
and oher improvements.

PROTECTION OF HOME.

Our chief object is the protection
of the home from whatever hurts or

the stern yet ofttimes pitiful logic of
events that alcoholic drink is the
great home-destroying. heartbreaking
evil. We are working for the over
throw of the legalized liquor traffic.
Our last national convention unani-
mously voted to use its extensive
equipment and its utmost influence in
the effort to secure an amendment to

Thin. brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence OF a neglected

There is nothing 80 destructive to

ness and itching of the scalp. which

VIEWPOINT OF THE ENEMY.

We always scan the liquor papers
with interest and growing satisfaction.
They indicate from the viewpoint of
the enemy the very encouraging ad-
vance of the temperance march. and
the, reports from their watch towers
strengthen our faith and increase our
courage. What is meant for note of
warning to the liquor interests comes
as word of cheer to the teetotaler.
Indeed. II 1t were not that we object to
supporting the liquor trade by sub
scribing for its periodicals.. we should
say to every anti-liquor man and
woman, especially to the weak-kneed
among us. take a liquor journal" :"

FOR PRESIDENT.
SAID TO BE A PROGRESSIVE
Wilson May Announce Adherence to
Ono Term PrInciple-senator Borah
10 In the Running for the Re-
publican Nomination.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-Some of the Demo
cratic members of congress-, hard
headed politicians a good many of
them, think it is not by any means
certain that President Wilson will not
announce at some later time that he
Is pledged to the principle" of one
term that was announced in the Demo-
cratic platform. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Democrats at Mr..
Bryan's suggestion put into the plat
form the declaration "and we pledge
the candidate of this convention to
this principle" the principle being the
one-term principle.
Now the political rumor has 1t that
all the men. including. of course. Mr.
Wilson. who think that he has a show
Of being nominated by the Democrats
next time. are beginning to fear that
he may have George w. Goethals. the
chief engineer of the Panama canal
and now the zones governor. as an
opponent in the next campaign. Re-
publican leaders from time to time
have whispered the name Goethals in
their conferences. 1t is perfectly true
that even some of the members of
the standpat faction In the Republican
party still seem to have some kind of
hope that means will be found to
endorse Theodore Roosevelt for the
nomination. without compelling the
old party to give over the name Re-
publican.
The old party chieftains seem to
think that they will be obliged to
nominate somebody with a strong per-
sonal appeal If there is to be any
hope of success, because there has
been thus far no sharp evidences that
the Democrats are going to make a
mess Of things and undo themselves.
Think GoethaIs Has Ambitions
1t has been intimated here and
there in Washington that men who
know the governor of the Panama
canal zone think he has shown some
signs of an awakening ambition to be
president. Colonel Goethals. Judging
by what he has done. probably has
his share of wisdom and while army
and navy officers notoriously have
been fiounderers when they have en-
tered the swamp of politics. Goethals
probably might prove to be an excep-
tion. Everybody remembers Admiral
Dewey's troubles as soon as he
showed disposition of willingness to
think on high civil honors.
While the Republicans have been
whispering about Goethals and the
possibility Of nominating him and
trusting to his supposed great per
sonal popularity to pull through. II
has been told to them also in whis-
pers that the zones governor is a
Progressive. In the present frame of
mind of the Republican leaders the
fact that Goethals may be Progress.
sive perhaps makes little difference.
for all they will have to do will be
to knock the capital out. spell progres-
sive with a small letter and add Re-
publican with capital after an In
serted hyphen.

Clarks word of prophecy to put VII.
liam E. Borah into the front rank of
runners for the Republican prize. The
Goethals matter remains yet to be
sounded to its depths.
Within a day or two Senator Borah
has declared that he does not consid-
er the third party as stable organiza-
ton. He says that as soon as Theo-
dore Roosevelt says the word the
third party will crumble. Mr.. Borah
believes the colonel will say the word.

Business Men Are Shy.
President Wilson has expressed him
self as very much surprised because
business rhen throughout the country
have not responded In great numbers
to the invitation extended by the ad-
ministration and by the committees
of congress to come to Washington to
enter their pleas In abatement of the
legislation which is aimed against the
trusts.
1t seems that Mr. Wilson and the
Democratic members OF congress ex-
pected that the business men would
come here In a rush to make them
selves heard in the committee rooms
