GREATEST OF SPORTS
GOOD REASONS FOR THE PoPU.
LARlTY OF BASEBALL.
Men Love II for the Opportunities II
Gives Them to Disport In the
LImelisht, and Young Women
Just Dote on 1t.

Baseball is the most dangerous
game known to history. When it
comes to mortality lists, baseball
leaves football lap behind in six
furlong race on a mile track Statis-
ticians have figured it out that it is
$50 times as destructive to human life
as a Mexican revolution, and almost
as deadly as Mexican chill. Annual
ly it kills off so many aunts, uncles
and grandparents that thinking peo-
pie wonder how the undertakers can
stand the steady work. For example,
in the course of one thrilling pennant
race, our Office boy lost seven grand
mothers.
For all that, we love baseball. Even
in spite of the grand-stand humorist,
we love 1t. 1t is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was
to give us baseball. our Revolutionary
sires did not bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love base
ball. 1t gives them the chance to ad-
mire skill, speed, strength, nerve,
courage and determination, and to
learn the latest slang and most pep
9 full repartee. II gives them the
cnance to boldly abuse and insult
other men without fear of conse-
quences and to exhibit their wit be-
fore large crowds. It gives them the
chance to set up real heroes and bow
down to them. Statesmen are cor
rupt, generals fight from their tents,
literary lions are pale, weak bodies.
But baseball heroes are real heroes.
And it-baseball-also gives men the
opportunity to be as loud and silly
and joyously unrepressed as they
want to be, without being laughed at.
Young women like baseball, too, and
some of them understand 1t remark
ably we'll. Some of them are said to
know the difference between the
pitcher and the umpire. There is a
legend that once there was a young
woman who could watch whole
game without asking: What are
they doing now" and tell which side
won at the end But that is believed
to nave been written by Grimm.
Young women do not care so much
for baseball if they have to buy their
own tickets. But if you suggest TAX

woman always gets some enjoy
ment out of seeing her escort spend
money for her, no matter what it is

1t is not always wise to take a
young woman to the ball game, M
matter how she dotes on it. She may
not notice the difference when they
stop batting up flies and begin the
game. She may think the pitcher
and catcher are playing against each
other, and complain because one of
them does not quit and give that cute
fellow with such a jaunty air turn.
She may mistake the catcher breast

she will notice, with an ever-growing
admiration, the grace. sureness and
swiftness of the well-conditioned men

 Some recent experience" says the warning. indicates that trees thor oughiy sprayed with Bordeaux mixture or q lime wash are apt to be avoided, especially if there are other trees or woods in the Hei2hborho0d.

CT It was John Dorr or her father or both who were stifling for air within that dark tunnel.
 She did not see John Dorr talking to the engineer below her, nor did she see the miner who had just left the mine and was scrambling down the ladder, Her thought was that during this noon hour, when both shifts were off duty, her father had gone in and accidentally set off blast. What blasting was done in "Fhe Master Key" usually took place during the incoming, but ow- ing to carelessness it was sometimes the case that all the blasts were not set off She had seen men belched out of that dark hole before furious gusts of gas. And yet why was the ore car inside? That, too, spelled disaster.
 She dropped the lunch basket and pulled out the pocket electric light which she always carried. It burned only tiny hole in the billowing smoke. She rushed blindly in, trusting to her long familiarity with the tunnel to find her father
 Thus it was that father and daughter passed each other in the darkness: Gallon grimly but silently cursing the awkwardness of his men, Ruth trying to choke out the names of the two men she loved. Suddenly she came into the free air The little beam of her lamp

 We must have help from the federal government, but the best way to get such assistance is not by declaring that equal suffrage is the paramount issue and that every activity of con gress must stop until the ballot is granted to our sisters in the East.
 Did anyone ever hear of majority in any great legislative body being coerced by such tactics?. Fiibustcrs are always negative in their results; it is a useful method to defeat legisla- tion, but it accomplishes nothing eX- cept to make the opposition more bit ter and determined. Important reforms have been obtained in America only at such times as majority of the peo- pie were convinced that q change was necessary. The militant suffragists of the Congressional Union, however. are too imptantient to follow the ordinary methods that have been pursued here tOfore. They have announced their

had already passed a state suffrage amendment. The hard, laborious ant oftime impossibzle task of getting by ! the states legislatures would be ac- complished and the battle two-thirdS i wOn
 The state-rights doctrine is the great objection that is raised to fed eral issues that come before congress ! It is recognized as a valid objection by members of congress, and many members from the North feel that they owe to members from the : South the courtesy of refraining from
 interference in matters vital to the
 South.
 This amendment will either directly
 or indirectly be the means of bring
 ing a great number of new states
 into the suffrage ranks and will so increase suffrage activity that it's eff
 feet can not be overestimated."
 In order to ascertain the methods
 of amending the various state consti-
 tutiOns, I requested the Legislative Reference Division of the Library of congress to prepare a table which I printed as a part of my remarks in the Congressional Record of January F, 1915. To illustrate the difficulty of amending state constitutions in order to obtain woman suffrage, this table shows:
 First That in 15 states affirmative action at two successive sessions of the legislature is necessary in order that a proposed amendment may be submitted to vote of the qualified electors.
 Second That in 20 states a two- thirds vote of each house of the leg islature is required in order to submit amendments. A three-fourths vote is necessary in six states
 Third That II states have restric- tions either as to the number of an election or the frequency with which the people may vote to change the state constitution.
 Fourth. That in nine states ma jority of the votes cast at the cleo tion are required in order to amend the constitution. This means that the ballots of all those who fail to vote are counted against the proposed change. The vote on amendments is usually small. so that this condition is practically equivalent to the two thirds vote which is required in New 
 Because of these numerous barriers that are placed in the way of amend ing the state constitutions, it will be seen that the Shafroth Palmer amend ment is not an ill-cOnsidered measure but that careful attention has been given to it's preparations. Among those who favor it's adoption are some of the most able women in America. I have no doubt but tha these same women. with their excel lent good judgment. are still giving to this matter, and it may be that by the next session of congress they will have thought out in this plan which will make it even more acceptable to a | arger number of the members of con |

None of the arguments presented are
 new to me, and l concur in almost
 everything that has been said
 As member of congress I am in
 favor of national equal suffrage. first
 i'cCause I have always believed that
 the cause is just. and second, because
 I know that the great majority of my constituents desire that all women
 should he given the ballot I particu- Ltrly favor the Susan E. Anthony amendment as the most direct way of attaining national equal suffrage. In common with a number of other congressman l introduced this amend mcnt in the last congress and I shall do so again at the commencement of the next session.
 | believe that the amendment drafted by Miss Anthony in 1875 is the ideal for which we should all strive. yet I am not welded to it to the exclusion of all other plans for attaining national equal suffrage. | am willing to accept any fair com promise that may be agreed upon by the real leaders of the equal suffrage movement in the United States. The officers of the National American Woman Suffrage Association have II as the Shafroth- Palmer amendment and I have great confidence in the good judgment of women like Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs. Medill Mo Cormick, Mrs. Antoinette Funk.
 While I do not like this new amendment as well as the Susan B. Anothony amendment. and while I be- lieve that the plan proposed can be improved upon. yet to I am free to ad- init that there is much merit in it. The Shafroth- Palmer amendment recognizes the right of each state to determine the qualification of electors for itself. and merely provides a method whereby it is easier for the people of any state to give women the right to vote whenever a majority so decides.
 The Shafroth- Palmer resolution has not as vet received consideration by congress, although it was favorably reported in the senate. With your permission I shall quote from the re- port by Senator owen of Oklahoma from the committee on woman suf- frage:
 In effect the passage of the suf- frage amendment by the nations con Eress would give the cause a tre- mendous advance from coast to coast. Without further delay the legislatures in every state in the Union would give dignified and simultaneous con sideration to suffrage. and at the i same time create an overwhelming | cumulative impetus to the movement. | increasing suffrage activity inestima- hly- Federal sanction would dignify , this great movement 50 vital to one half of the entire citizenship of the ' -nited States.
 The ratification of this amendment would mean that at least 36 states would have already experienced ef- 'cctive suffrage activity. and the ef- icct would he the same as if the leg stature of every state in the Union

chisement for women of this country
 This article also states that the
 leaders of the Congressional Union
 have recognized
 that the time for begging. pleading
 and argument was over. and the time l for action has come The union sim ply adopted the old political maxim
 of men Go where the power isl The power lay in the hands of the voting women of twelve states. four million , strong"
 In other words, if the senators and
 representatives, particularly those of l the party in power, fail to do every thing possible in behalf of the Susan
 B. Anthony amendment, which, of course, includes filibuster that will
 tie up the business of the government | then the voting women of the West | VIII punish their representatives at l Washington by defeating each and
 every one of them at the next cleo 1 tion.
 As for myself I give notice here and now that l shall indulge in no
 such vain and unwise proceeding. I realize that there is no more import ant issue before congress than that women shall be given the right to vote. l know that this question will not be settled until every woman in every state of this Union has equal political rights with every man. But l am also certain that there are other questions of vital importance to the state of Arizona that require the inn mediate attention of congress- One quarter of this state is in forest re serves, another quarter is in Indian reservations We have over thirty i've million acres yet in the public domain. There are great reclamation projects under construction, and we want still more money for irrigation works Our. water power that now lies undeveloped must be made avail able for use. We need federal aid in the construction of good road and bridges This is but a partial list of the matters that are under the con trol of congress, and our state can be vastly benefited by wise legisla- tion that should be enacted in the near future. l know that the good women of Arizona will not ask me to jeopardize the material interests of our state, interests closely affecting the welfare of all who dwell within the borders of our commonwealth. by taking part in a fiIibuster that in the end will accomplish nothing for the cause of equal suffrage. The people of no other state were required to make such q sacrifice in order that the women of Arizona might be en- franchised, and the women of the other states have no right to ask as much of us.
 Considering the fact that the greater part of the area of Arizona is still held by the federal government either in reserves, reservations or the public domain, not an acre of which can be taxed to support the state and local governments, we have a right to ask l congress to help us. If we proceed | automatically as we have done in the l past. we can obtain this assistance l which we so badly need. The prop l erty owning women in this audience l know that their taxes are high. And | why is it? The reason is plain. We 1 are compelled to support a state gov |
