 To step the latest way,
 She pushed him, she pulled him,
 She showed him till he tired;

 The president of the Maine Woman suf- frage association, Miss Helen NJ. Bates publishes in the Portland Press a letter from a former Portland girl who is now living in Illinois that gives a graphic pie ture of the educational effect of the bal lot upon the women themselves and an swers the doubt that Is in many minds. She says:
 In Illinois we have gotten beyond dis cussing whether woman suffrage is the hest thing or not, we can only discuss how we can best use it. The thing that has surprised me most in the actual work ing out of it is the effect it has had on me and others like me. The some what aimless interest that I have al ways had in public affairs has become delnlte, ana 1dS q puncn ttO ust slang term) behind it. feel part of the com munity as l never did before"
 She says that the vote of the women does not merely duplicate that of the men, but has led to a large increase of dry territory. A difference is also shown in other matters: In Springfield, recently, there was a question upon pub lie improvements-a question between graft and public good. The right had q majority with the men of 43 votes and with the women of several hundred. You would be surprised if you could see the women who have never had any interest except cooking and clean ing, who are waking up to study public affairs. It is the greatest thing that ever happened educationaly. Women who didn't care at all whether they got the vote-even those who opposed it--feel that now they have it they must make the best of it. and the first thing is study .

PETITION FOR PARDON

State of Mississippi,
Oktibbeha, County.
TO Governor Earle Brewer,
jackson, Miss,
We the undersigned citizens Of
said county and State, respectfully
petition YOUR EXCELLENCY to
pardon Simon Smith, a:negro con
Wet from this county, who has
served about one and one-haIf
years in the penitentiary under
sentence of seyenSyears, for man,
slaughter.
Knowing the facts and circum-
stances Of the case, we believe that
the ends Of justice have been met,
and that he hiss been sufficiently
punished. In difficulty between
him and several other negroes, he
shot and killed Ben Taylor, with
whom lie had had no trouble, or
enmity at any time, they having
been good friends. Simon has
always claimed that the killing was
entirely unintentional and that he
accidently shot Ben Taylor, in
trying to defend himself from the
other negroes, some five or six in
number, who were involved in the
difficulty with him ut the time.
Simon has lived in this county all
his life and has been quiet, well
behaved, hard working negro, and
has never been in any trouble
before this difficulty occurred.
Respectfully submitted,
II. A. Lampkln,
j. i. Caldwell,
George L. Davis,

at 81. pint and charged to his
newspaper. Being a war cores

sought after.
But when two armies try to oc-

Many a war correspondent has

This is a great mystery until we

BLOODLESS BATTLES
AT CLATSOP BEACH

Clatsop Beach resorts will be unusu-
ally gay during the midsummer season,
due to the moblizing of three thousand
troops, embracing the United States
regulars from Fort Vancouver, the
Idaho National Guard and the Oregon
National Guard. The arrangements
have been made for the maneuvers
which will continue over a period of
fourteen days, commencing July IL.
The general encampment will be near
Gearhart Park, overlooking the Pacific
ocean.
Every branch of the military service
will be represented and will be seen
practicing bloodless warfare. The Op-
portunity will be afforded summer col
onists and visitors at the nearby beach
resorts to be spectators of the various
operations of the nations defenders.
Part of the maneuvers take place on
the broad oceanside meadows, where a
golf course is laid. Back of the mead
ows is fringe of forest, also creeks,
hills and a country of varied topOg-
raphy which is admirably adapted, say
the military experts, for mimic war.
There will be artillery, cavalry, signal
and hospital branches of the service !;
also three regimental bands of from 35
to 40 pieces each.
The military display, band concerts,
drills, fetes and receptions and other
social activities are expected to draw
immense throngs to the recreation re-
treats of the Clatsop Beach section.
