Two hundred citizens OF Struthers

and massed at bridge to repel a threat
ened invasion of strikers. Fifty pounds
Of dynamite was placed beneath the
bridge and an electrical connection was
made ready 70 blow II up the moment
a mob started across.
Later reports said that the situation at
struthers was under control. but troops
would be kept on duty there to prevent
further trouble.
General Speaks and Lieutenant Colonel
weybrecht, related today how they
were fired upon last night by strike SYM
pathizers in East Youngstown.

ing into the plant where the first shots
were fired said Colonel weybrecht. II

the bullets in the neighborhood. for just

guards and they returned the fire"
Neither officer was armed at the time.
They had gone to the scene in civilian
clothes to make a survey OF the situation.

Senate Committee
Reports FavOrably
On Suffrage Motion

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. s.-rhe
Susan B. Anthony amendment providing
for woman suffrage was reported favor
ably today to the senate by the suffrage
committee.
I'm our opinion every principle upon
which universal manhood suffrage rests
demands the extension of its privileges
and responsibilities to women said the
report They are subject to the laws,
are taxed for the support OF government
and subject with men to a common politi-
cal destiny
After pointing out that the government
OF the United States Is one of the dele
gated powers. the report says:
Manhood suffrage has been from time
to time extended. Every ENLARGEMENT of
the franchise has been natural and
logical developments Of the principle OF
popular sovereignty. We may assume
that universal male suffrage Is an eStab-
lished factor in our system of govern
meut.
Women" says the report. comprise
80 per cent OF our population. They are
citizens in all other respects. Together
with the men they constitute the peo-
pie. In patriotism, devotion to welfare OF
the government and In capacity cor fran
chise they are In no wise inferior to
men.
Neither logically nor justly therefore.
can unlimited suffrage be recognized as
an essential to our republican form Of
government and It's existence at the same
time be limited to one-halt OF the people,
arbitrarily segregated from the other half
by the difference OF sex.
''women's activities. her participation.
her sacrifices and her misfortunes In the
great conflict now raging over three con-
tinents. have for all time disposed of the
contention that she should not be armed
with the ballot because she cannot WELD
the sword"
The report was signed by Senators
Thomas. owen and Hollis, democrats, and
Sutherland, Ciapp and Jones, republicans.
Senator Ransdell. democrat, voted for the
report. but his name did not appear on
IL. Senator Catron, republican OF New
Mexico. dissented and Senator johnson,

Clearing the streets gave the Youngs-

a reply be prepared, the body of which
Is as follows:

The value OF the experiment in pre-

estimated. II appears however that this
should be regarded as a great part Of
the work as there have been only seven
outbreaks In the district since the first

Fine Scenery-POOr Roads

Under the caption "Fine Scenery
Poor Roads" this item appeared in the
St. Cloud Journal-Press:
H. R. Neide and family have recent
~ returned from an auto trip from St..
Cloud to Mile Laos lake. Mr.. Neide
says that the road from Milaca to the
lake was about as bad as it could
be and be negotiated by an automo-
bile. He was delighted with the
grandeur of the lake and says he is
not surprised that people in that Sec
ton wanted it on the Jefferson high
way. From St. Adams to Brainerd
and from Brainerd to Rice the roads
were excellent. st drove home by
way of Brainerd, which was twice
the distance, rather than go back
over the road from the lake to Mil
aca," said he. "They are doing con-
siderable work on this stretch Of road
and when completed it will probably
be in good condition. Then it will be
very popular drive, because the big
lake is well worth seeing"
There is considerable truth in the
above. The scenery in and around
Mile Laos lake is simply grand, and
although there has been a great i'm
provement in the road from Milaca to
the lake, still it is nothing to blow
about. But if the Unions suggestions
are adopted ere another II months
roll around the road from Milaca, no,
from Minneapolis, to the lake, will be
in keeping with the scenery at Mile
Laos.

FlOurishing Little Isle.

The writer was one OF a party who
enjoyed spin on Mille Laos lake
from Cove to Isle in P. P. Blackstad's
staunch motorboat Sunday afternoon.
The distance covered, going and COM
ing, was about SO miles, and only one
corner Of the lake was traversed. Mile
Laos lake is no frog pond.
The scenery along the southeast
corner of the lake VII this season of
the year is beautiful in the superlative
degree.
Isle is a smart little village with
gravel-surfaced streets and cement
sidewalks. It. boasts Of several sub
stantial business houses. The First
State bank is a neat pressed brick
structure and is doing a good business.
The Advance weekly sets forth the
advantages of Isle. But the especial
pride of the place is the model CO.
operative creamery which opened for
business a few weeks ago and is al
ready turning out more than a ton Of
frst-class butter weekly.
Otto Haggberg conducts a comfort
able little hotel which looks very home
like right on the shore of the lake.
Charley Malone, one Of the first
settlers, has retired from active bust
ness but is as full Of vim and vinegar
as ever and is taking life easy.
By far the best developed farms in
the lake region are located in this
vicinity, and Isle is bound to grow and
prosper. ~ .--.

which he has had for ten years, but
which began to bother him when he
took up the arduous duties of soldier.
Everybody is anxiously awaiting
payday, as they have not received a
cent from the government since they
have been in the service. Just before
they left Smelling each enlisted man
received from the state $3.50, this
being the amount due from it, and the
balance, together with the July pay,
they still have coming from Uncle
Sammy. Pretty slow pay when you
stop to think Of what the "Uncle" de-
mands of the boys and the meager
rate Of wages that prevails in the
army. Some more of the government
red tape that you hear so much about
is probably responsible for this con-
dition Of affairs.
Captain Davis of the regular army
who is assigned to our regiment as
instructor, is the typical type Of the
regular army officer. Efficient, thor
ough, courteous and still a strict
disciplinarian. He is we'll liked by the
officers and men of the regiment but
we sometimes wonder if he doesn't
have quiet little laugh in private at
some Of our antics in trying to be-
come regulars.
We now have a tented city of about
$4,000 men, although the linotype man
in the August 3rd issue had it only
1 200, when it was $4,000 at that time
That northern heat that you people
are suffering from probably made the
figures blur.

Minnesota Road Conditions.

Mr.. C. A. Jack, who recently re-
turned from an automobile tour
through northern and southern Mime
sofa, reports that road building is very
much in evidence in all sections Of
Minnesota.
Mr.. Jack encountered the best roads
of the trip in northern Minnesota.
Even in remote Cook county splendid
graveled highways are to be found.
The new roads being constructed there
are wide, there being room for three
automobiles to run abreast. Hills are
graded down, and Mr.. Jack says the
highways are source of pleasure.
Through the iron range country ex-
cellent roads surfaced with gravel and
low grade ore are also to be found.
And the streets Of the range cities and
villages are joy forever
In central and southern Minnesota
conditions are not SO favorable, but
the. work of improvement continues,
and in time all sections of Minnesota
will be blessed with good highways.
