SUFFRAGE NOTES.
Some Reasons why Men should Not
Vote.

Because men do not use the ballot
when they have it, Only - per cent
of the electors OF New York State voted
on the question of holding a constitI-
tional convention next year And only
l6 per cent. of the male voters of Dallas
Texas cast their ballots at the last cleo
ton. Therefore, all men should be Dc
have not asked for the ballot. When
men are q they have the right to vote
thrust upon them whether they want It
or not. Even aliens who become natural
lied do not ask for the vote. Cndouhted-
~ many OF them would like the prvi-
leges and protection of citizenship with
out responsibility. But the states give
them the franchise without their con-
sent even though their time is fully
occupied with their duties as wage
earners and fathers. Voting seriously
interferes with mems business, requiring
as il does that one whole business day
each year shall be a holiday. Therefore,
no man of twenty-one should be given
the right to vote until all men of 81 have
asked for IT,

tence: we trust that you will arrive
home in good shape. We were very
pleased, indeed, to have had the pleas
ure of your call upon us yesterday"
This sounded nice to Mr. Barber and
he was pleased to know that the firm
had enjoyed the pleasure of his COM
pany but as he had not been away from
home at all for several weeks, which
would cover the date of the visit men,
toned In the letter he was naturally
puzzled and he asked the firm If they
weren't mistaken in supposing that
they had been entertaining him as a
guest
Friday a reply was received ex-
planning matters somewhat 1t APP
pears that a gentleman, about six feet
tall, medium weight, dark complex
ion, dark hair and dark moustache, ap-
peared to Mr.. Lingham of the firm
mentioned last week Thursday and
represented himself as c. A. Barber of
Burlington, VT. He seemed to know
enough about the business Of the Bur
lington grocer to convince Mr. Ling
ham that he was the real Mr.. Barber
He was very agreeable and the firm
enjoyed his call very much. They
gave him an automobile ride about
town and then took him to lunch. In
cidentally the gentleman. who said he
was Mr.. Barber, reluctantly related
! that he had lost his pocketboOk con-

THE ELECTRIC SHIP.

The first large vessel to be equipped
with electric propulsion is the new Uni
ted States collier Jupiter The power
plant of the vessel consists of a Curtis
steam-turbne engine and electric dyna-
mo combined. The dynamo delivers cur
rent to two induction motors, each OF
which is connected to a propeller shaft.
With electrical propulsion, it Is much
asier to manoeuvre the ship and to reg
uate it's speed. AS the control levers
are situated in the pilot house. it is no
longer necessary to transfer orders to
the engine-room The electric power
plant also occupies smaller space and
weighs less than marine engines that de-
velop an equal amount OF energy.-Ex-
