Restrictive Franchise.
THE suffrasist theory Is that
women are as much entitled to the

may be considered in the abstract. I
am now convinced that we should
have done much better for the State
of Washington. if, instead of extend
ing the franchise to women, we had
more restrictive franchise
for men.
ut is unquestionably true that
many men have the privilege of the
franchise who are clearly unfit to
exercise it, This, however, as we
have learned to our cost In Washing

franchise to women. When we gave
women the vote We enfranchised the

IM bA ssAington we have found
u W lie same motives which control
men in their exercise of the franchise
also control women. Women are
hired to do political work at so much
per day, just as men are hired, ex-
| cept that women are cheaper. Women
are aetuated in their use Of the ballot
| by the same selfish motives as f1leH,
and they look forward to securing
political 'plums for themselves or
relatives in return for their political
influence. just as men do-and they
get their reward, too.
"Our experience with woman suf-
frage in Washington is that women
divide on public questions just as
men divide, and when / say public
questions | mean to include moral
Questions. And they are at least as
inconsistent and vacillating in their
judgments as men.
The Recall.
"In Seattle, the women tied up with
the ministers and secured the recall
of 'Hy Gill;; and. then, when he be-
came a candidate for the same office
at the next election, women gave him
their hearty support and elected him.
In Tacoma the women tied up with
the saloon element and secured the
recall of Mayor Fawcett. and then
when he became a candidate for re-
election, they worked and voted for
him and he was returned.
''1t must be remembered that the
suffrage amendment was adopted in
Washington by a very small minority
of the people The great majority of
women of the State were either op-
posed to the suffrage or totally in
different. and of course, these women
as a rule do not vote unless forced
to do so to defend themselves against
the votes of their sisters who make
business of politics.
And just as in the case of men,
there is an element among the women
of Washington who do make q, busi-
ness of politics. And by business 1
mean a n1ercenary and selfish busi=
ness. They form political orsaniza-
tions, pass resolutions, and present
petitions for legislation, presuming to
represent the women of the State,
when as a matter of fact they are
only busy bodies who represent but
small fraction of the women of the
State, and that the most undesirable

Brain Amputation.

One of the wonders of surgical sci
ence has been performed in French
military hospital where wounded sol
der has had sixth of his brain am
putated without missing it. The pa
tient was carried in with a penetrating
wound in the occipital region of the
Uranium. Splinters of bone had
caused an abscess to form in the left
cerebral hemisphere. These were re-
moved by DIR. A. Guepin, surgeon in
chief to the hospital, but a fresh
abscess formed, and Doctor Guepin
was obliged on two occasions to ampu'
tate portions OF the brain which pro-
truded from the wound. The patient
thus lost at least third of the left
hemisphere, but shows no special
signs of trouble, either Of motivity
sensibility, or ideation.

them through the sink holes, and as
Green river cut it's bed deeper into the
limestone underlay the cave waters
kept pace with the process until what
had once been mere subterranean rills
grew into that remarkable under
ground stream which is responsible
for the immensely of the caves devel-
opment, Echo river. This stream now
flows through the lowest levels of the
cave. no less than 1875 feet below the
highest level, and empties into Green
river.
Entrance Is Picturesque.
The cave is reached by means of a
branch railway from small station on
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
called Glasgow Junction, about ninety
miles south of Louisville. This spur
of the railroad was built to accommo-
date the thousands of tourists who
visit this natural wonder during all
seasons of the year. Eight and half
miles from the junction the railway
stops close to a picturesque old hotel,
portions of which were built early In
the nineteenth century.
The hotel is located on a bluff d.
rectIy over the main portion OF the
cave. the entrance to which is reached
by means of pathway leading down
into a wild and rocky ravine in pri-
mevaI forest. At the foot of the blum,
in the midst of picturesque tangle or
tulip. maple and butternut trees, in
setting of grapevines, fringing ferns
and green MOSES, is this entrance
formed by a natural arch having
span OF 20 feet. From frowning ledge
above leaps a cascade of water which
disappears among the rocks below
without leaving a visible stream.
TO describe in detail the vast in
terror of the cave with its succession
of narrow passageways. broad avenues,
vaulted chambers and domes, its deep
abysses and high peaks, its flowing
r,vers, placid lakes and leaping cata-
racts would necessitate the writing OF
a book, so only few of the most i'm
portant features may be briefly
touched upon.
A winding flight of 20 stone steps
conducts the visitor around the cas-
cade into what may be termed the
antechamber of the cave. At the end
of this is grated iron doorway which
can be opened only by the key of the
guide. Upon entering the cave
