a palpable hit when she expressed her opinion of various types of men who op- pose the equal suffrage movement.
 When a man tells me-" she said, in very clear voice, that he opposes the equal suffrage movement because man, having been made stronger than woman should direct and guide, l pity, perhaps his lack of information. but respect him just the same But when a man tells me that he loves women too much to give them the ballot, l think-well, I will not tell you what l think of him."
 There came cries from all sections oi the chamber. ''Tell us Tell us,''
 ''Welb think" continued Mrs. Sharpe that he is cheerful liar
 Prolonged Applause
 There followed this sally, laughter and prolonged applause.
 Mrs. Felix Baldridge of Huntsville lit- erally threw the gauntlet at the feet of man when in following Mrs. Sharpe she declared:
 If there is present anyone who is fool ish enough to object to the submission of this bill to the people, he might state his objection, or, better still, he might ask question:"
 The silence which followed was pain ful, not ominous. Those seated in the galleries might have heard the dropping of a pin. But no one was possessed with the devilish spirit of Tom Heflin for no one was bold enough to take up the gauntlet.
 The ladies despaired. Finally, Mrs Hundley. while everyone laughed. asked Mrs. Jacobs if she would not ask hy- pothetical question. Mrs. Jacobs readily responded, and declared that it was her intention not only to ask hypothetical question, but to answer 1t. She then stat hot e-1.- T lection to the effect that were women granted the ballot negro women would share in the benefit. Her explanation was that were suffrage granted negro women would vote under the conditions that negro men vote at the present time
 Brings Up Old Issue
 Representative Greene of Dallas. who introduced the suffrage bill which bears the indorsement of the equal suffra ge association, in his speech near the con- clusion of the session, aroused the dor. mant spirit of the late unpleasantness over the liquor question. He declared that there wes'e tTt two types of mel opposing the movement of the suffra. g. -tes.
 One of these," he said, lis represented by the man who believes that the stand ard of woman would be lowered were she to be granted the ballot, and the other Is represented by the whisky politician His argument was not successful in the matter of provoking applause. But, as whole, the women were well pleased with the success they scored, and to. night are full of confidence that theii measure will in the long run be sub mitted to the people. If their bill i. enacted into law, the people of Alabama will pass on the matter of equal suffrage in the general election of 1916.

Montgomery, January 2S.-(Spe- cial. l.)-The Alabama Equal Suffrage association, with galleries packed with enthusiastic followers, male and fe- male, put their cause this afternoon before a joint session of the house and senate committees on elections and privileges. The general admis- sion is that the impression made was favorable.
 Unlike members of Congress. members of the legislature were too wise to ask questions of the women who made ad- dresses. Very silent they sat- and their department was mild and demure. Moth ing that was said was contradicted; noth- ing intimated; nothing assailed. The fea- ture of the session was the chamber crowded with committeeman and spec tators, joining the gallery of partisans In prolonged applause when Miss Julia Tutwiler of Livingston occupied the floor
 When the session was called to order the galleries were packed, there being present suffragettes from Birmingham, Montgomery, Eufaula, Selma, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa. From the gallery there descended three streamers, each bearing the inscription, Justice, not favor"
 Chairman Welsh of Jefferson, address, ing the two committees, declared that Mrs Oscar R. Hundley of Birmingham would preside and introduce the speakers. This Mrs. Hundley did in splendid style
 The first speaker was Mrs. Jacobs, who told of the history of the equal suffrage had gained great headway. Miss Lavinia Engel of New Jersey, introduced as a southern girl" gave an outline of reme- dial legislation which in equal suffrage states had been accomplished. She spoke of the fact that in some of these states the age of consent had been raised, and that in others improvement in red light territories had been effected. She was aoeorded senerous applause.
 Mrs. Corey Speaks
 Mrs. Chappell Corey of Birmingham ad- dressed the legislators in her capacity as Christian woman, and having stated her observation that the men had greet ed the women with smiling countenances. declared that the need of men for as- slstance from Christian women would eventually make them take the women seriously. There followed addresses bv Representative Bradshaw of Lauderdale and Miss Julia Tutwiler, the latter hay ing brought forth warm and continuous applause when she was introduced. Mrs. Charles J. Sharpe of Birmingham made

Wilson Vetoes Immigration Bill Because of Literacy Test-May Not Be Re-
 passed by the House

Washington, January 2s.--Prcsidcnt Wilson vetoed the immigration bill to- day because of the Iitcracy test for administration of aliens. His message was referred to the House immi ration committee, whose chairman, Rcpresen- tntive Burnett, will move next Thurs day thnt the measure he passed over the veto.
 Much informal discussion among members of tho House followed receipt of the veto and there were many who believed the two-thrds majority re- quired to repass the bill could not be procured migration bills containing literacy clauses were vetoed by Presi- dent Cleveltnd and by President Taft, but both times failed of repassage. In his veto message President Wilson told the House. which originated tue bill, that he had not pride of opinion on the question or was foolish enough to profess to know the wishes and ideals of America better than the body of her chosen representatives know them" He asked, however, whether the bill rested upon the conscious and unl- versal assent and desire of the Ameri can people," and pointed out that no political party ever had "avowed a policy of restriction In this fundamental matter, gone to the country on 1t and been commissioned to control it's leg islation."
 Senate leaders insist there would be no trouble in repassing the bill in tho upper house. That was done in the Taft administration. but the lower House failed to muster two-thirds ma jority.
 Wilson's Message
 President Wilson's message, delivered to the House. was as follows:

into an accident you are to blame.
whether you are in big city or

same is true Of corner turnin g.
Last Saturday evening, in River
Falls. each Of the three most pop
ular Main street blocks averaged
between thirty and forty machines,
most Of them in motion. There
was but slight observance of traf-
fic rules, and as az result there
were many times when accidents
seemed unavoidable. But luckily
there were none-but that luck can
not last. Something must be done
to impress upon the drivers t h e
necessity Of strictly observing the
traffic rules. There are crossings
which are "Worse" than others,
but all should look alike to h e
motorist for the observance of the

idea is kept for only few cross
ings it won't be we'll observed
anywhere. Always keep in mind
KEEP TO THE RIGHT. There is
only one departure from this rule,
and that is when passing vehicle
which is going the same direction
in that case, pass it on the left.
And the reason for that is to let
the vehicle which "has the road"
To keep to the right. Local motor
lists have been showing such utter
indifference to traffic rules that
the authorities have decided that
strict measures must be taken, SO
if YOU find yourself "pinched" for
driving down the wrong side Of
the street or for cutting corners,
don't be surprised. 1t probably
won't cost you much the first time;
a little more the second time, and
by the third time you will prob
ably be getting "hep" to the idea.

JIST WHAT IS oSTE0PATHY?

It is customary 20 discredit the
thing we don't understand: or
which we don't believe III. And
what we believe in is largely
matter Of training or association.
What we understand is what We
have studied or had explained to
us. Have you EVER seriously turns
ed your attention to Osteopathy
as a means of helping you in your
bodily distress?
OSTEOPATHY has been misrep-
resented SO often by persons with
their own ak to grind-often
literal ax!-that not as many folks
know of it's true worth as really
should for their own health's sake.
OSTEOPATHY is system of treat
ment whereby pressure or relief IS
directed to the nerve centers con-
trolling disturbed tissues, and re-
ducing them to their natural or
normal state. This process: iber-
ates the natural remedies manu-
featured by the body itself. In
other words, it is THE REINFOCE-
MENT OF NATURE. Osteopathy
has been practiced for over THIR-
TY YEARS, has been upheld by the
courts when introduced as evil
dence, and has CURED THOUS-
ANDS of persons who have suffer-
ed with "chronic" and so-tcalled
"incurablen diseases. No drugs are
internally administered. Manipu-
lation, diet, hygiene and exercise
are the most important weapons
of the Osteopath in combating
physical ailments. The principles
of this manipulative surgery can
be understood by anyone very
easily.-adv.
