SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

A statement has just been received
from DIR. Anna Shaw giving her own
version of the seizure of her little vel
low automobile Eastern Victory" for
the nOn-payment of taxes. The state
ment is as follows:
In the fall of 1913 the tax assessor of
Upper Providence, Penn, left at the
home of DR.. Shaw sheet requesting
that she make out detailed statement
of all her personal property. DR.. Shaw
has always believed in the contention
of our forefathers that there should be
no taxation without representation, and
has paid her taxes under protest. But
when the Government demanded that
she make out the list upon which the
tax was TO be levied she declined, stat
ing that the act of taxing u citizen of
the .. S. while depriving her of repre-
sentation was violation of the Con
stitution which declares that the
"privileges and immunities of the citi-
zens of the United States shall not be
abridged or denied by the United States
not by any state thereof" She con-
sequeutly returned the document with
| OuU IudhluS OuI ltlt lsSl.
In doing this DR.. Shaw contends that
she violated no law for the law pro-
vides that if the person receiving the
! document fails TO make out the list the
assessor should prepare it, as far as
| possible learning the amount of the
| property in Order to make a fair state
ment. Instead of so doing the assessor
arbitrarily assessed DR.. -Shaw's taxable
property at $50, 900 all amount wholly
excessive and when DIR. Shaw-who at
that time was absent on Il lee ture tour,
sent legal representative to swear off
the over assessment the commissioners
refused TO listen, and declared that no
reduction would be made unless Dr.
Shaw herself made out the declaration
When the bill for S120 of taxes was
sent to DIR. Shaw, she took no notice of
it, not proposing to pay taxes on prop
erty that she did not possess.
On June 90, friends in New York
presented DR.. Shaw with the motor and
the following day she left New York,
where she now has her legal residence,
for Pennsylvania. After staying at
Motlan for several days DR.. Shaw left
her car behind and went again to New
York. Immediately after her departure
the courageous tax collector, who had
made no move while DR.. Shaw was
present. seized the car and stated that
unless the tax was paid i'll five days the
car would be sold. 1.-The sale," added
DR.. Shaw, will probably take place
and the little yellow motor, Eastern
Victory, will become famous when the
history of the tyrannical and incon-
sisteht attitude of this so-called Repub.
lie shall be written Press Sec.

At the last election in Chicago, only
243,309 women actually went to the
polls and cast their ballots although
nearly 1885, 900 were of voting age.
What kind of women do you think com
pose the great majority of the more than
100000 Chicago women who refused
to vote? The less desirable ? Hardly.
The less desirable always vote just as
do the less desirable men. The women
who stayed at home are the women who
believe they have a sphere of influence
for good without the ballot far greater
than they would have with it, who do
not want to be like men and who resent
having mans duties and burdens thrust

THE LOST DAY

1t was a May sweet day, all blue ana
gold,
That dimmed to moon -drenched
tints of silver gray.
The little winds that walked the
dappled roads
Breathed sweet through blossomed
lilac boughs a-sway;
The fireflies starred the open mea-
dow gross;
The frogs thrilled soft beside each
wayset pool;
And meath the pine-arched branch
es overhead
Our roadway loitered, dim and
shadow-cool.
So hard we strove to keep each sunny
hour.
Each warbler's note, each thicket-
fitting thrush,
The sunset light against the beech
land hills,
The first dim silence, first gray
evening hush;
But even while-with slowing hoof-
beats stilled,
And laggard reins-we hoped 10
hold it fast,
On mist-white feet that skinned the
silvered road
Our day had smiled it's greeting,
and was past.
Oh, many days have sought the self
same road
Amid the spring-starred dusk, al

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY

New York, May e6-Question: At
what age does a woman cease TO be
young!
Answer: Never-if she lives in
New York. 81
The artist and | reached that
cheering conclusion yesterday. after
due investigation inspired by a dis
match from Boston. In Boston 1t
seems. they consider thirty to be tfe
fatal Rubicon between feminine
youth and age. The Young Wom-
ems Christian Association is about
to Dust all women boarders over the
age of one score and ten, thus de-
| fining clearly the time when a wom-
an ceases to be young-in Boston.
Those of us who are acquainted
with the town know that, in more
ways than one, Boston is an old
ladies' home let loose on the land
scape. The aged Boston female Of
thirty-one is simply practical ex'
ample VI nature law VI ouJNoeAaSAA
to environment. On the other hand
if Ponce de Leon had arrived but
few hundred years later and mile
further north, he would surely hav'
found his Fountain of Youth on thu
Fifth Avenue of today.
Amusing, if you like, but ais
gallant, is the New York woman
refusal to acknowledge age. No
r for her the shapeless wrapper an
l slippers, the rocking chair and ba
: of peppermints, the long afternoo
| nap. At sixty she dresses smartl
: and sits in a STRAIGHTFORWARD chat
| by choice, while foxtrots and sui
e frage clubs leave her no time fo
i mapping.
e Did you never notice the astonisf
{ ing small number of females in Ne
: York who have gray hair? W
e noted not more than two Or thre
e in our pilgrimage down the Avenu
e and through various tea room
: Even those women whose face
y after shrewd study, showed trace
: of advancing years, possessed blon
e or brown coiffures Gray hair is d
: cidely "out!" On that move,
least, Nine. Manhattan has succee,
I ed in checking Father Time.
