SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

With the exception of Mrs. Weed and Connecticut suffragists were i'll Washington for the vote in the House of Representative on the national suf- frage amendment. All of them came home greatly pleased with the large vote cast in favor of the women on this the first occasion on which the House has ever voted on the question. 'There is just one difference between us and the antis in regard to the pro- ceedings of last week said one of the sutfragists as she left the gallery after the vote had been annnounced. "They say that this is the end of the suffrage movement in Congress. We say, like Representative Mondell, that it is the beginning of the end. The only real end nwill be when the amendment is passed and ratified by the necessary number of states.
 If applause from the gallery had been permi itted there would have been a warm greeting for Congressman Reilly when he took his stand for the amend ment. MT. Reilly made an excellent speech in favor of woman suffrage. He recognized, as indeed most people do nowadays, that woman suffrage is bound to come, and he asked the pert inent question, Eventually, why not now ?" Any unprejudiced observer of the debate must have been struck with the superiority of the men and the speeches on the side of woman suffrage over those opposed. Anti sentiment sank to the lowest depths in the speech of MT. Bowdle, of Ohio, who has man. aged to achieve not fame but notoriety through this one speech. MT. Bowdle is democrat. He was elected in 1919 in the place of MT. Nicholas Longworth and he was defeated by MT. Longworth in the last election. He has therefore only few more weeks of Congressional life, and it is to be presumed that he does not intend to appeal again for election to any office. It was the gen eral feeling that a man who could utter so many disgusting and insulting things in the presence of thousand women deserved to be tarred and feathered and ridden out of the town on a rail. Again and again the women in the gallery gasped when they heard his remarks, and if it had not been for their anxiety to hear the speakers who were to follow the galleries would have been left en- tirely empty before MT. Bowdle had gone far in his speech. His utterances were so gross and so insulting to every decent woman that a member of his own party who followed him felt con- strained to apologize for his sex, of which he said he was ashamed.

HARRISON IS BEATEN.
The Women OF Chicago Turned
Against the Mayor.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-Carter H. Har-
rison, who is finishing his fifth term
as mayor of Chicago, was defeated for
the Democratic denomination in the
primary election by Robert NJ. SWEET
ger, present clerk of Cook county,
a plurality OF more than $4,000.
Although Harrison was a pro-
nounced advocate of woman suffrage
and he was aided in the campaign by
his wife, Edith Ogden Harrison. the
woman vote contributed largely to his
defeat.
In the fight for the Republican
nomination. in which Harry E. Olson,
chief justice of the municipal court.
and William Hale Thompson were
contenders. a count of all but four
precincts gave Thompson a lead of
nearly 1000 for the Republican nomi-
nation.
Harrison put at rest discussion that
he would run as an Independent, by
declaring that he was through. The
result. he said. would indicate that the
voters desired an open town. A dozen
or 50 fights were reported and police
patrols were on the jump all day an
swering riot calls. More than a score
of political workers were arrested.

PAR Of SHES" REVIEW

A Pair Of Sixes.~ the farce comedy
that Hale Hamilton made famous.
was staged at the Grand last night by
q creditabie road company. Said COM
pany gave a good-sixed Topeka audi
ence some entertainment and q well
defined idea of the possibilities OF the
skit as the fat Topeka actor plays it.
The title of the farce leaves a wide
scope OF conjecture, but 10 easily ex-
planned, in the first act. Partners in
a pill business become peeved at each
other over the management OF the
concern. Their foxy lawyer, after
failing to perfect any other agreement
between them. frames a contract by
which they agree to abide by results
OF a poker hand, winner to run the
business for q year and loser to act as
the others servant during that time.
The senior partner gets q pair OF
skies. and fails to improve the hand;
the other partner, who, in the regular
company is Hale Hamilton. holds a
queen and fails to pair 1t by drawing
four cards. His services as butler to
his lucky partner make for polite
comedy during the next two acts. No
one swats anyone else with q barrel
stave or falls down q trick stairway:
it il a perfectly ladylike exhibition OF
comic dialogue. and it seemed to
please the Topeka audience last night.

CAPTURES 4 CHURCH.
Indiana Man Objects to Having Piano
In House Of Worship.

Kokomo. Ind. Feb 24.-After
keeping members of the Church OF
Christ, 10 miles east of here, from
their house of worship for ten days
because a piano was installed in the
church, James McKillip submitted to
arrest Tuesday on a charge of tres
pass. McKillip placed a cot in the
pulpit, procured a loaded shotgun
and took possession when he learned
that some young members had moved
a piano into the church.
He obtained bail soon after being
arrested and returned to his vigil to
keep possession, he said. until n court
orders him to vacate.
McKillip's father decided the prop
erty to the congregation shortly be-
fore his death and stipulated that If
any musical instruments or "fairs'
were permitted in the church the
property was to be turned over to his
heirs or to the church members who
objected to such innovation. Older
members Of the congregation say that
young McKiilip acted hastily. as they
were preparing to remove the piano
when he took possession of the
church.
