.SUFFRAG|STS MAKE
GRAND STAND PLAY
WILSON SMILES, READS ON
Coup of Women Planned to
Draw Attention of Congress
to Suffrage Issue.

Washington, Dec. 5.-President
Wilson's address to congress today
was marked by woman suffrage
coup in the galleries-the first real
show of organized militancy in the
|capital-and by a great demonstra-
ton of congratulation to the Presi-
dent upon his reelection, in which
many Republicans joined with the
Democrats.
After acknowledging the pro-
longed cheers and applause which
greeted his entry to the hall of the
House, the President had launched
into his address, reviewing recon-
mendations for railroad legislation
the Corrupt Practices Act and
passed to his recommendations for
q broader government for Porto Rico.
He was just about to begin the sen

over the heads of an amazed assem-
tlage of senators and representa-.
tives a silken banner of sumrage vel
!, w bearing in great black letters tho
il scription:
president Wilson, what will YOU
do for women suffrage?
The suffragists said afterwards it
was their protest that the President
should plead with congress for
broader suffrage for the men of Porto
Rico while he did not mention their
own cause in his address
AS the banner rippled down the
suffragists sat smiling and unper-
turbed. watching the effect. A di-
minutive page, raised on the arms
of men directly under the gallery
grasped the edge of the banner and
snatched it down. President Wilson
attracted by the stir, looked up from
his reading and apparently taking in
the situation at a glance, smiled
broadly without hesitation or inter
ruption turned his eyes back TO his
manuscript and continued his ad-
dress to the end without further de
monstration.
Policemen and gallery guards
scurried to where the women were

WILL PUSH HIS BILL

Washington. Dec. Ga sharp pas
sage at arms took place in the sem
ate today between Senator E. d.
smith OF South Carolina and Vice
President Marshall. president of the
senate, while the latter was in the
chair because there was a misunder.
standing concerning bringing up the
immigration bill. Senator Smith had
given notice yesterday that imme-
diately upon the conclusion of the
present unfinished business. n,
would move that the senate proceed
to the consideration of the immigra.
tion bill. 1t has been the custom OF
the senate when notice of this kind
Is given to have it printed on the
front page of the calendar of business
each morning until action is taken.
This morning the calendar had no
such notice. Upon inquiry at the.
clerks desk, the senator was in
formed that by order of the vice
president the notice had not been
printed
Immediately the senator rose in his
place and asked the vice president if

or if the chair intended to make this
a permanent rule, excluding fro \
now on all such notices from the
frontfof the calendar The vice pres
hnt ;-t
Senator Smith said that the rea-
son why he had called it to the atten-
tion of the senate was that he did not
propose to allow the impression to go
out that this rule had been changed
because it referred to the immigra-
tion bill, Before taking his seat
Senator Smith Informed the senate
that if the present unfinished bust
ness should indicate prolonged de-
bate, he intended to move that the
senate proceed TO consideration of
his bill. the unfinished business not
withstanding. that he had right to
do this because it was the clear un-
Iderstanding of the Democratic eau
Gus before the adjournment of the
last session that the immigration bin
should be the first bill considered
upon the reconvenins of congress this
session.
Senator Smith informed The
States correspondent that he was de
termined to get the bill up either to-
morrow or as soon as he can do so
1T will be remembered" he said
that just before we adjourned in
September there was an understand
ing that if | would not press the i'm.
migration bill at that time ii would
be taken up Immediately upon the
reconvening OF congress. We have
reconvened and l shall see that the
agreement entered iuto is strictly

pose. The very general extent of this
idea is indicated by the action of at
least one Of the large mail order
houses of the country in appealing to
the popular prejudice by advertising
that it sells only cane sugar.
That such a view is incorrect is
evident from the fact that beet sugar
and cane sugar are the same identical
substance, known to the chemist as
sucrose, one being extracted from the
sugar beet, the other from the sugar
cane. Any difference between beet
and cane sugars would thus, of neces-
sity, be due to the different character
Of impurities communicating the su-
crosse from the two sources. However,
properly refined sugar, whether de-
rived from the beet or the cane is one
Of the purest substances on the mar
ket, containing at most not more than
one to two-tenths of one per cent of
impurities. 1t is thus evident that the
objection to the use of beet sugar is
due to transformation and prejudice
than to any inferiority of the sugar.
In this connection it is of interest
to note that practically the whole of
the sugar used in the European con-
tinent is beet sugar. Certainly
Europe has not fallen behind the
United States in the quality of Jellies
and other CONNECTIONS produced.-Na-
tional Farmer.
