DR.. JAG IBIS. who is in America for n

great many of the Dutch Parliament
members would like to have women in
Parliament, though they don't want the
woIlen to vote.

Then we turned TO quieter subjects,

woman you think of when you visualize
Dutch women. Small and dark. she re-
minds one very little OF the ladies with
flaxen coils that tire Dutch painters
have shown us in profusion. But DR..
jacobs knows her Holland. and knows
her Dutch women, and above all things
knows the Dutch suffrage movement to
its core. For it VAS she who in 1885
was the first woman in Holland to ask
for the privilege of voting.
Dr. Jacobs, as the first woman doctor
in her country, had found that as
married woman her signature to her
own bills was of absolutely no value;
that as property owner she had no
rights, and that though she and many

when the constitution came into force,

from voting than they had ever been

twenty-five years ago DR.. Jacobs
started the society for Woman Suffrage
IN Holland. To-day there are 10000
members in her particular organiza-

and 10000 members of other suffrage
organizations. This makes little Hol-
land ne OF the strongest Of suffrage

difficulties. too.

van der Linden is strongly opposed to
woman suffrage. Our Cabinet of nine
men are not in the majority on our

Gates. Our Parliament of 100 men is
not enthusiastic. But we can do moth

Have you been able to get any ex-

NO, We have not asked her. We
send her our literature, and once she

be as constitutional as we can, and she

LONG BEACH LIE
AND LIAR HUNTED
Samuel S. WhitehOuse
Seeks One, Natives and
COIOniStS the Other.

Dame Rumor. that garrulous lady,
has got the goat Of Samuel ). White
house, who is spending the summer at
the Hotel Lafayette, Long Beach. Long
Island. Some one has been talking
about Mr.. Whitehouse. and all that
gentleman now desires is the oppor-
tunity to talk to TT, tslker face 20
face Tmpelled by that wish. he yester-
day published -tatement in q Long
Beach newspaper deputizing all Of the
society folk at the resort to hunt down
his traducer.
l.. spite OF the fact that Mr.. White
house has been three times the Demo-
cratic candidate for Supreme Court
justice, the gossip which has beer cir
culated about him in the last few
weeks has caused him TO lose all lu-
dicial pose. II he can only catch his
maligner. suit for criminal libel Is
merely the beginning OF what Will be-
fal. him.
Strangely enough, although the whole
population of Long Beach is aware that
" r..
one can be found who remembers the
exact details of the vicious tale aimed
against him. No one, that is, but Mr..
Whitehouse, and he won't tell.
"The story is unfit TO be repeated,
he said yesterday, when asked con-
corning it. THE liar would not dare
repeat it to my face"
Whether or no the summer people OF
Long Beach will become amateur NICK
Carriers at the behest of Mr.. White
| house is not known. They are fmty
bosomed, however, if their hearts do
not burn at the slsndered ones ar
raignment of his backbiter in the pub
lie prints. Taking as his tex. liars IN
! general and the Long Beach variety IN
particular, the author wakes eloquent
in thei. condemnation.
Some of these liars" he says, are
among US at Long Beach and are the
bane of the place. They spre neither
men. women nor the younger people.
The sanctity and happiness OF no Long
Beach house is safe against these
poisoned tongued persons. Defamation
is their principal summer recreation
and they delight in the damage and
misery they cause.
az earnestly appeal to. the people OF
Long Beach to help locate and identify
him who started thai story about me,
TO the end that may nail the lie and
the liar, and thus render salltary
service TO all respectable people OF
Long Beach, where | have lived every
summer for eight years.
In spite of the fact that Mr.. white
house promises to treat all informa-
ton received in strict confidence. the
Long Beach liar is still u mystery, and
what oothers natives still more. the lie
he told is still shrouded in obscurlty.

therefore no suffrage street meetings.
