 Senator Walsh did not mince mat ters in his argument for the adoption of the suffrage plank. He stated plain ly the adoption of the plank was necessary as a matter of political ex- pediency, adding that the present political situation in this country was a condition and not theory.
 The states in which women vote control 91 votes in the electoral col lege," he said, adding significantly, every political party has declared for woman suffrage in some way or other. It becomes a simple question whether you will incur the enmity of these women
 Now, my friends" he continued "as late as 1907 there were but two states west of the Missouri river that returned Democratic senators and now we have Is of them. The question is, are you ready to surrender the 15 votes you have in the United States senate and turn them over to your political enemies?"
 In conclusion, Senator Walsh said that he revealed no secret when he said President Wilson knew all about the suffrage plank.
 "The president believes 1t vital tc his success that it stay in the plat , form," he said q ask you in all the fervor of my soul, who is there wiser or more patriotic than he?" - Following Senator Walsh's speech Gov.

War is He'll.
D. w. Griffith, perhaps thousand
fold more effectively than he realized
while he was making it, has proven
that war is actually hell, made and
fed by man-in his spectacle OF srec-
tacles, "The Birth of a Nation," and
that hatreds and spites that are bred
from it between peoples who partiei-
ps..tsa-E p. Nnerein are eternal damnation
here on earth.
After witnessing Mr.. Griffith's most
glorious and exhaustive treatise on
the subject, one more than ever prays
for an everlasting peace and settle
ment by arbitration rather than fur
ther armed conflict
Widows, orphans, wrecked homes
and hearts everywhere-the aged
parents and weeping little son and
daughter, brother and sister all over
the throbbing world, are the ones
who will heartily say "Amen" to this
everlasting lesson of war. When
one of fair mind witnesses this mar
velous reproduction he cannot be-
1ieve that Griffith, as has been said
of him, has been all these years nurs-
ing his wrath against the North and
struck with this mighty weapon
when he knew he could do the most
far-reaching damage to the cause o1
his country's enemies. He will be-
lieve, rather, that Griffith, being ar
great artist, saw his chance to alarm
the world with the greatest, most
dynamic thing yet and he took it
with the result that all readers to-
day knows.

7. R. BRINGS DIRE ...
WARNING T0F0RD'S
HOME TOWN TODAY

Detroit, Mich, May 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt brought dire warning to
Henry Ford's home town today.
He lambasted Ford's pacificism;
raked Wilson's make believe prepar-
edness''; accused influential Germans
of rejecting the German government
approving pacifcists' plans in the
United States with an idea of keeping
America unprepared, and dubbed the
present governmental representatives
96 per cent feeble.
He claimed that he bore for Henry
Ford real friendship and in many
cases genuine admiration. Then he
classified Ford with the Tories of the
Revolutionary war and the Copper
heads of the sixties.
Two thousand people greeted
Roosevelt here with much enthu-
siasm. Roosevelt's plans of visiting
Ford's plants have been cancelled.
Ford visited at Roosevelt's hotel at
three o'clock this afternoon. - =
Roosevelt in his address said in
part:
MY plea is that all our citizens
today shall act in the spirit of the
men of many different race strains
the Washingtons, Adamses and Lees,
the Schuylers and Sullivans; the Car
rolls and Muhlenbergs, the Marions
and Herkimers- disregarded all
questions of national origin and be-
came Americans and nothing else
when they founded this country.
1--WE all stand together for our
common flag and our common coun-
try. We must so prepare that this
country will be a good place in which
the children's children of all of us
shall live; and to do this we must so
prepare that we can repel all for
eign foes and preserve the inestimable
right of settling for ourselves the
fate of this mighty democratic re-
public.

Ell Paso, May Sergeant Harry
Furman, member of the machine
gun company of the 23rd infantry,
was shot and killed on Mexican soil
mile and half east of Juarez late
yesterday by Mexican custom guards.
General Gavira, Juarez command
er,, and other Mexican officials say
F'urman crossed the international
boundary in an intoxicated condi-
tion and fired on the custom guard
before he was made the target of
their fire.
Furman's company commander says
that he saw the sergeant but short
time before the shooting and that he
appeared perfectly sober. The shoot
first was reported by General Ga,
vira to General Bell at Fort Blinn.
General Bell detailed Major General
George D. Moore and Captain William
B. Graham of the Goth infantry to
make a joint investigation in COM
pany with the Mexican military judge
and two officers named by General
Gavira.
After Stray Horse.
This investigation disclosed that
Furman, while searching for stray
horse, rode a horse upon strip Of
Mexican soil left north of the Rio
Grande blythe shifting Of the river
bed. He was armed with a pistol.
American army men admit that he
was not within his rights in penetra-
ting Mexican soil.
His pistol had been recently fired,
two chambers being emptied.
Major Bell said he had no evidence
to show whether Furman or the Mexi-
can fired first. General Bell will re-
port the matter to General Funston.
The entire 23rd infantry regiment
today mourned the death of Sergeant
Furman He was one of the most
popular men in the regiment, being
it's crack machine gun operator and
all around athlete and splendid
horseman.

The idea that the sergeant could
have been intoxicated is secuted bV
officers and enlisted men alike.
It was said that shortly after Fur
man left to round up the stray mules
he had ridden the most fractions
horse in the regiment over the hurdle.
a feat he could not have accomplish
ed, it was contended, if he had not
been perfectly sober. Furman was
serving his second enlistment.
General Gavira says American SOL

made no effort to return the fire OF
