ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES

Suffrage has just been defeated in
the Connecticut Legislature. This is
the seventeenth State to defeat Suf-
frage since last November. A map Of
suffrage defeats would be interesting.
In the recent election in Chicago,
the wOmen's votes we're divided be-
tween the candidates in about the
same proportion as the mems. Thous-
ands of women voted, but campaign
managers say the result would have
been the same II they had stayed
away from the polls II was Octavia
Hill, the great English philanthropist
and housing expert who said of wo-
man suffrage. You can double the
number of voters and achieve Moth
ing. but you have used up in achieving
nothing, whatever thought and time
your women voters have given TO such
duties" You have also used up a
good many thousand dollars in cleo
tion expenses, which necessitate a
higher tax on the poor mans house.
Mrs. Pankhurst announces that the
suffrage organizations OF England
and France will not take part in the
Woman's Peace Conference at The
Hague. She says: THE movement is
well-meaning but mistaken. Those
running this conference have no pO-
! litical influence. pro-Germans are
working here and in neutral countries
and much German money has been
circulated in America; but this Is not
the time TO talk peace" Evidently
Frau Schwimmer does not represent
even the suffragists Of England and
France, not to mention the antis. II
would be interesting TO hear from the
women Of Russia on the subject, also
the women of Belgium.
The "drys" gained 10 cities and
towns in Wisconsin with only men

The "drys" gained nine counties In
Michigan with only men voting.

A verdict of guilty of first degree
murder was returned at midnight
October "a, 1912, after the jury had
deliberated seven hours and ifty-sev.

six days later to die in the electric
chair during the week of December

sent to the death house.
New Trial.
More than a year later, or Febru-
airy "a, 1914, the Court Of Appeals de-
cided that Becker should have a new
trial. The gunmen's conviction was
upheld and they paid the penalty with
their lives on April II, 1914. One Of
the number, "Dago Frank" confessed
the guilt of his three associates but
maintained his own innocence. His
confession, made on the eve Of the eX.
ecution, became known the day they
were put to death.
Becker was brought back to the
Tombs. His second trial was begun
May g.. 1914, and ended May %, with
a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced
to die during the eek of July 6, 1914.
An appeal was fled, but the convic-

Promises do not spoil, like milk, how
ever. They break. A butterhy's wing
is a tough and durable affair beside a
promise. A man who can break 100
glass balls in succession is proud of
the record, but many a statesman
has broken 1900 promises the first
week in Office and without any effort
either.
Promises are legal tender for all kinds
Of favors and goods, but they are not
guaranteed by the government, and are
very precarious security. Some men turn
out an extraordinarily high grade of
promises which will be redeemed over
the counter without question at any
time: Other men issue promises faster
than a wildcat investment company al
turn out bonds, and when the proud
holder of n of these promises at
tempts to cash it he discovers that it
is Confederate money.
There are two kinds of business
which are carried on almost entirely by
promises-love and politics. When a
mar is in love he thanks kindly Provi-
dence for inventing the promise. 1t is
nothing for a young man to give a
young woman a beautiful home, a priv
ate yacht, a limousine, a vacation in
Europe, flowers every day until she dies
Of old age, and unlimited torrents of
affection-all in promises-in a single
evening. And it is nothing for the same
young lady, two years after mar
riage, to spend three hours trying to
trade all Of these promises for $l.25 in
United States money in order to buy a
new hat and spend the balance on
enervating luxuries.
The candidate is even more talented
on putting out vast issues of very at

taxes, increase prosperity, double crop
returns, protect the public health, increase
the number of potatoes in a bushel,
make the street car company call for its
customers, and p%rolong the life of shoes.
But later he finds that these promises
cannot be fulfilled, owing to the over
worked necessities by satisfying Bill,
Mike, Steve, Hank, Toni, and 876 other
citizens, each of whom holds a promise
good for one public job.
People should be as careful in &C
cepting promises as they are in taking
notes. They should step around to the
nearest information bureau and look up
the promissor's ability to pay.
