ence, if they refused their sisters,
their wives, their daughters, for the
sake of the mothers who bore them,
to give the woman of the South the
ballot, and she closed with the Won
derful lines of Kipling:
eff should be hanged from .sshe
highest tree,
Mother o. Mine, Mother o. Mine,
know that your love would follow
me,
Mother o. Mine"
Many crowded about the speaker
to meet and congratulate her, after
her talk.
In the evening at the San Carlos
hotel, Mrs. Taylor met with the mem
bers of the executive board of the
Pensacola Equal Suffrage League, to
tell them of the organization work
that the suffragists of Alabama are
doing under the splendid leadership
of Mrs. Scion Jacobs, president of the
Alabama Equal Suffrage Association,
and her co-workers of whom Mrs.
Taylor is one.

fused to enter the Union, without their
women, who have now had the fran
chise for forty-six years. She re-
futed the statements made by the
ants that suffrage breaks up the
home by showing that in Colorado,
where the women have the ballot, the
birth rate is higher than in the non
suffrage ates,and that there is less
divorce in the suffrage states than
in the states where the women have
no recognition.
She quoted the words of a promi-
nent suffragist: "In the nineteenth
century woman discovered herself
but in the twentieth century she dis
covered the other woman" and she
said that the suffragists of the United
States were working for the other
woman and the other woman's child
She referred to the words of DIR
Shaw, who said that if ever women
have bought and paid for the ballot
it is the Southern women, who stood
so nobly with the Southern men ir
the Civil war, and since that time, in
rebuilding the Southland.
She APPEALED to the men in the audi.

PETTY STEALING
BEING REPORTED
TWO MORE INSTANCES WERE
RECORDED, AND NUMBER OF
OTHER CASES NOT YET MADE
PUBLIC.

Several reports of petty stealing
were reported to the police station
yesterday, but in no case has there
been an arrest. One suspect was
sent to the station for investigation
yesterday afternoon but there has
been no proof adduced.
Hazel Dell, residing at 139 West
Zarragossa street, reported that dur
ing the night someone had stolen a
porch chair from her home, but no
trace of it has yet been reported.
Mr.. Fried, who conducts an. auto
repair shop, and who deals in auto
accessories, and whose Place of bust
ness is on North Palafox stre&t. re-
ported the theft of an inner tube,
which strangely disappeared from his
place of business lately.
Mr.. A. E. Human lost REQ hub
cap on East Gadsden street last eve
ming and was told motorist picked i
up. Possible trouble may be saved
the finder if he will follow instruc-
tions as contained in notice by Mr.
Human appearing on the classified
page of The Journal today.

MANUAL TRAIN INC
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The manual training work being
introduced into the schools by DIR.
Borst, deserves special mention by
both press and public. The doctor
has one of the most interesting ex-
hibits to be seen on the Fair grounds.
One of his pupils, Master James
Dusenbury, who is only 8 years old,
has on exhibition several useful and
well-fnished articles of furniture
which he made himself under DR..
Borst's instruction. -
DR.. Borst says that all other cities
in the United States of more than
5000 inhabitants have manual train
ing taught in their public school, He
earnestly hopes that Pensacola will
soon add this to her public school
work. He says that nothing adds
more real manliness and enthusiasm
to youngsters school work than to
teach him to plan and build articles
of various kinds all by himself.

To Attack CarranZa
Army at Aqua Prieta in
Force During Tonight


Its roof and porches were perforated
in many places.
Private James Tank, company D,
18th infantry was struck in the legs
by a bullet that fell into section
of the trench a few feet from the
customs house. No move was made
by any of the United States army de-
tachments to return the fire.
When Villa forces drew off after
daylight, it was reported they had
ceased their attack in order to procure
water. Their canteens were empty
and many had not tasted food for
twenty-four hours or more, according
to Mexican officers who approached
the border. Villa still intends to take
Augua Prieta, these officers declare.
Mines exploded by Gales west of
Augua Prieta killed three hundred
Yaquis, according to reports.
One Mexican woman refugee among
the throng at the customs house dur
ing the machine gun fusilade yester-
day, lost finger by a bullet.
Twenty-three hundred refugees
were concentrated at camp at Pr
tleville, a suburb of Douglas. They
were practically without water last
night. DIR. J. ]. P. Armstrong, Gales
chief surgeon declared this was due
to diIatoriness of American officials.
Daybreak showed that little damage
to the defense of Augua Prieta had
been done.
The barbed wire entanglements with
the exception of one gap of about
| twenty feet appeared intact while the
| earthworks showed little effect of the
rain of shells poured upon them all
night.
The town however, showed many
fandnaaHrsoen 12345 76S90S. :. e
damaged buildings and the list of dead
and wounded was heavy one.
| After the bombardment the Villa
forces which at some points had ap.
preached to within few hundred
yards Of the wire entanglements fell
! back about a mile and began en-.
trenching. The right flank of the
Villa forces rested squarely on the
boundary line fence.
Villa soldiers, although weak from
want of food and water, expressed
grim determination to force their way
into Augua Prieta, no matter at what
cost.
There was intermittent firing from
both sides after daybreak but it ap
parently was mostly scattered shots
to correct ranges.
General Villa sent about Thousand
cavalry eastward to the pass neal
Niggerhead mountain early this
morning to bring up supplies of am.
munition for his big guns, under es.
cort of four thousand reinforcement
which Villa leaders this morning
said should arrive by noon.

Big Success of Suffrage
Day at the Fair

Continued from Page one.)
The Washington herald., 1915-12-19
Let the People Speak.

The Anti-Saloon League of America has for
several years urged Congress to submit to the
people a prohibition amendment to the United
States Constitution and the leaders of the league
have laid much stress upon the right of the people
10 decide this great question. But the Ant-Saloon
League of the District of Columbia has formally
declared against a referendum of the same prohi-
bition question to the people of the District
Either the league of the District is out of harmony
with the league of America, the latter's plea for
the rights of the people to decide such question is
not sincere. 1t is not for The Herald to decide
which organization is sincere, but the national
ganzaton claims to decide the policy for the local
organizations.
Last winter when the Hobson amendment was
before Congress heard much eloquent and
forcible argument in favor of the right Of the
people to decide whether this country should be
wet dry, and why Congress had only a minis
terial function to perform in submitting the Hob
son amendment to the people of the nation
The District league, however. takes the other
end of the argument, that Congress is supreme
and that it should decide this question for the
District without regard to the wishes of the people
The District league claims to represent the wishes
of the majority OF good people in the District, but
is not willing to submit its proposition to vote
OF the people. There haye been such contentious
made by other politicians in the past but they
have been called demagogic and other uncompli-
mentary names. 1t may be that the good people
of the District would prefer prohibition to the
present license system, but have got beyond
the time when fifty, ten, good citizens
save Sodom or the District of Columbia. Con-
gress is clothed with power to legislate for the
District but the, presumption is that it will enact
such legislation will make the laws effective and
Since this is not selfish question like
taxation is said to be by the opponents of the
old half-and-half arrangement, but concerns the
regulation of the private affairs of the people who
live in the District it would appear reasonable for
the Senators and Representatives to consult the
wishes of the people, rather than accept the voice
of the few leaders of the Anti-Saloon League as
the voice of the people.
We all-Democrats, Republicans, Progressives,
Populists, Prohibitionsts and Socalists-are given
to quoting that truism of Lincoln that this is
government of the people, for the people and by
the people, and it is complete without the last
clause.
