distinctly with standards at each end
of the space bearing the name of the
state or district from which the
group comes.
The women from the states where
men alone can vote wore the conven-
tional suffrage yellow, but the women
from the suffrage states were dressed
in red, white and blue costumes and
carried banners or remnants bearing
the words 'I am a Voter"
In order to keep unbroken the
golden line of parasols which the wo-
men carried, all banners, notices,
etc, were attached to runners and
held in front Of the women at a
height waist high. Although this pic
turesque pageant lasted only until
noon, the breaking up of the "walk-
less" ranks will not by any means
mark the close of the suffrage dem
onstration, other features having been
arranged by the committee on enter
tainment.

PENSACOLA REPRESENTED IN
WALKLESS PARADE IN ST.
IOITIS.
LOUIS.

LOUlS.
Interest runs high In local as well
as national woman suffrage circles, in
regard to the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party towards suffrage. Flor
ida and the third congressional dis
trict were represented at st. Louis in
the Walkless Parade of the suffra-
gists by Mrs. Fred Boege, former
president of the Pensacola Equal Suf-
frage League, and an active worker
in suffrage since the organization of
the league in Pensacola.
In line with its policy of strict nom
partisanship the National American
Woman Suffrage Association planned
demonstration for the benefit of
delegates to the Democratic national
convention. Like the Chicago parade,
this demonstration had a dual object
to show the delegates that the wo-
men from all parts of the country
really want to vote, and that they are
| anxious to have the Democratic party
help them get it by placing suffrage
plank in the Democratic national
platform.
The st. Louis demonstration took
the form of a "walkless parade"
From ten o'clock in the morning until
noon thousands of women represent
ing every section of the country stood
in silent lines between the jefferson
hotel, headquarters of the Democratic
delegates, and the Coliseum where
the Democratic convention is held.
The women were dressed in white,
and as close together as the yellow
parasols that they carried would per-
nit. They formed a golden line
through which the delegates passed
on their way to the Coliseum, and on
a platform opposite the entrance of
the big convention building a symbolic
tableau was staged in which the ap-
peal of the women for the vote still
further visualized.
In addition to being the first walk
less parade" ever held in this country,

Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-

Miss Vera Green of Pensacola, who
is a popular visitor to Mobile, is en-

that sponsor of smart fashions.
Four deep ruffles give the skirt the
quaint 1880 effect, the short bolera
jacket carries out the suggestion of
quaintness, and the flowing sleeves is
another old fashion in modern form.
The buttons are orange color, the
black velvet ribbon looped up under
the jacket gives a striking color con-
trast. The monks collar is not the
most becoming of collars, but it has
heaps Of style to it.

THE FLAG WENT BY.

''The flag went by. Not one uncov-

The flag went by, its bars Of purest
white
For which our forebears bled, and
every star
Cleaned on its azure field, like hope
afar,
That leads men upward-deems no
height too steep
For those to scale, who safe their
birthright keep.

A strain exquisite from a threnody
That mourned the passing of those

Newman Erb. president Of the Ann
Arbor Railroad. In his remarks to stock
holders in his annual report says in part
increases In the cost Of every factor
which enters Into railroad operation and
maintenance have absorbed more than
has been gained by greater operating
efficiency. while freight and passenger
rates are actually lower. and tax bur-
dens have been measurably increased.
Such Increased efficiency as has been at
tanned is largely attributable to the fact
that in the ten ear period from 1907
TO 1870 Ss24.S05.s9 surplus revenue has
been turned back into property by way
of equipment purchases and the reim-
bursement. through the self-sacrihce Of

Greater efficiency by the railroads
