sUFFRAGETTEs ALL TO VOTE

Washington, February 22.-(Special.) ) According to a recent bulletin from the publicity bureau of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, the suf- fragettes have found a road leading out from all their troubles. If they desire to vote-and that they do, they con- tend-they may vote. They will simp- ly have to move from certain mar row. state to a "broad and enlightened commonwealth.
 Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, chair man of the political department of the congressional union, declared sometime ago that she would leave New York for the west unless the right of suf- frage was speedily granted to the wom- en of the entire country. Six western governors have invited Mrs. Blatch to take up residence in their respective states. In addition, the Blatch home has been flooded with letters and telegrams from college professors from Kansas to California urging consideration for their respective cities because of their 'intellectual atmosphere and refine ment."
 In a recent speech delivered to 400 '1unchers" at DeImonico's, Mrs. Blatch referring to the invitations she had received, indicated that "she and other suffragists of the east would join in 8 pilgrimage to the voting states to take up their residence until the passage o1 the national suffrage amendment"

 Officials Absent

Montgomery, February 22.-(Special) Tt has been my hope that the liquor question would be kept entirely out of the situation" said Gen. Bibb Graves, chairman of the state democratic ex- ecutive committee, in reply today to a recent editorial in one of the daily papers of Alabama suggesting a con- ference of democrats for the purpose of selecting a nonpartisan delegation to the national convention at St. Louis.
 General Graves expressed the belief in his statement that such a conference could do nothing else than bring this liquor question in and make it the fundamental proposition" Selecting an equal number of vets and drys as delegates to the national convention would make liquor the paramount is sue" in the opinion of General Graves.
 The chairman of the state commit tee declared that as head of the party s organization in Alabama he is in touch with every faction. T know that ev- cry one of them is heart and soul for tne President" he said. This unanim- ity is the highest tribute Alabama can pay. Let us not lower this tribute by questioning it's sincerity"
 General Graves asserted that inas- much as 'tAlabama's delegation to the St. Louis convention is already signed, sealed and delivered to MT. Wilson, not only for him but for what he wants, v the ideal situation" should not be disturbed by injecting factional pol ities

PROSPECTS BRIGHTER

Natchez, Miss, February 22.-Brighter prospects for assistance of the marooned inhabitants of the flooded section of northern Louisiana gave those engaged in relief work in this district a more opti mistic view Of the flood situation tonight.

Captain Hunt of that de- partment had established headquarters at St. Joseph and it was said he will send food and boats to the marooned people in the back country sections of Tensas and Concordia parishes.

New York, February 22.-(Special.) Manager Brown of the Hotel Breslin Broadway and Twenty ninth street, him. self a southerner. tells me that the secret of his success as well as of his personal pleasure in his work lies in the fact that he caters to the people from Dixie.
 I'd rather live, work. play or fight with them than any other people or earth" he said. They know how to do each one of those things better than most people do. and New York never made a bigger mistake in it's life than when it accepts their natural courtesy and polite ness as timidity.
 "why, I had a man from Alabama here recently" continued the manager smiling reminiscently, whose name must withhold, who was so polite and courteous that he narrowly escaped in- carceration in Ludlow street jail"
 How was that MT. Brown?" I asked him.
 He was waiting in our parlor when a woman entered. The other seats were all filled, and he courteously offered her his She was not from the south, and she seemed to construe his politeness and his courteous manner to be method of flirt- ing with her. She indignantly turned from him, and he, misunderstanding her action, placed his hand on her arm and offered his seat in so many words.
 "At this juncture her husband entered and Madame reported to his imperial jealousy that she had just been insulted, whereat husband spoke to the Alabam- ian, who began his reply with, But, my dear sir I assure you it was"

IrpcEn TO sIJPPORT BILL

Washington, February 22.-(Special) Alabamians are flooding the offices of members of the Alabama delegation with petitions to support the Burnett immigration bill.
 The members, to man, it is believed, will support the bill. It is believed that it will be enacted into law, even should it be necessary to write 1t as permanent statute over the veto of the President.
 Labor unions, it appears, are exceed ingly hopeful that the measure will be successful. It is thought that their po- sition is due to the fact that the pro- visions of the Burnett bill would ex- clude many undesirable foreigners, who in America would compete on a very cheap price scale with American la bor.
 MT. Burnett states that in the House he has 2sO out of 435 votes pledged more than the necessary two-thirds to pass the measure over a veto. Pre- viously the bill has passed the Senate by vote of about to 1. In the last Congress the bill by a l margin of 15 votes in the House failed
 to pass over the veto of President Will son. President Taft had previously ve- ] toed the measure.

present force was not thoroughly ef- ficient one.
 "T do not want to give the impress sion," he said, "that our fleet is no good. The only trouble with it is that it is not big enough for possibilities. It's a good fleet, well drilled, we'll equipped and well organized. We are now prepared just as far as our power will permit us to be. More power means more ships"
 Regarding the present place of the United States fleet among the navies of the world, Admiral Badger said he classed it as third in fighting power, with France a close fourth.
 T think we are number three," he said. Japan is coming along, but has good deal to do to equal our fleet. Tn military power-fighting efficiency -T think we are a pretty good third with France not far behind"
 MEANS NO INCREASE
 Representative Kelley questioned Ad- miral Badger as to the net result Of the five-year building programme ad vocated by President Wilson. He asked IL IL dClAd1iy lASstub ally AAASA SdSC WAAot~ ever over the old congressional policy of two capital ships a year. The ad- miral was inclined to think not, but later agreed with a statement of Rep resentative Galloway that under the old ships a-year programme it would take eight years to build them, as against eight years under the five-year plan Chairman Padgett said the net result of the capital ship plan urged by the administration was to add six battle cruisers and maintain the old rate of building dreadnaughts.
 Admiral Badger urged, however. that the arrangement of the fiveyear pro- gramme suggested by the general board would produce the ships two or three years before the administration schedule and without going beyond the stipulated appropriation of $100,00O,000 a year for new construction. Under the boards plan Congress would be asked to authorize four dreadnaughts and three battle cruisers this year instead of two of each as proposed by the Pres ident.,

CAPITAL IS QUIET

Montgomery, February 22.-(Special.) ) Governor Henderson and several other state officials went to Auburn today to participate in the celebration held at that place in honor of the opening of the new $50,000 gymnasium, erected by the alumni of that institution. Other state officers who went to Auburn were Dr. William H. Oates, state prison inspector; James A. Wade. commissioner of agri- culture and industries; Mai. T. c. Locke, of the adjutant general department; NJ. c. Augood, state auditor and q number of capitol clerks who are alumni of the institution.
 The absence of so many officials com bined with the fact that the day was a national holi-ay gave the capitol build ing a rather deserted appearance. Little official business was transacted by any of the departments of state, each and every one of them having it's office force depleted either by reason of the holiday or the Auburn celebration.
 Washington's birthday was observed at other places in the city besides the capi- tol. The city hall, the courthouse, and the federal building all observed the day, or a part of it, while the various banks of the city and the schools closed for the antire day

OAK GROVE CITIZENS PETITION FOR AID Six Hundred Entirely Desti- tute From Flood HOPE TO STOP BREAK Weakened Levee at SOuthwOOd Is New One Which Makes Problem

 Crevasse Troublesome
HOPE TO STOP BREAK

New Orleans, February 22-A petition
 signed by 600 citizens of Oak Grove, West
 Carroll parish, was forwarded to Gov
 ernor Hall tonight from Baton Rouge.
 The petition asked for immediate relief
 in the way of food, clothing and shelter
 and stated that the people in this section
 were entirely destitute" Oak Grove is situated on the St Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad in the northern part of West Carroll parish, about 20 miles below the Arkansas line.
 Providing fair weather continues it was believed a break in the Mississippi river levee at Southwood, IS miles below Baton
 Rouge, could be prevented. Engineers stated that their problems were made somewhat easier, owing to the fact that
 the weakening Ievee was new one and that part of the old levee remained in front. Should break occur at this point, river authorities estimated that back water would inundate parts of Iberville, Ascension, St. James and St. John par ishes, finally draining into Lake Pont- chartrain and eventually finding it's way into the gulf
 TRACKS UNDER WATER The Frisco railroad tracks were re- ported tonight to be under water for a
 distance of 10 miles in the Atchafalaya SWa1npS ana trains on tn1S road VIII tenn porarily be subjected to delay owing to
 the necessity of detouring.
 The condition of the levee at Green
 Bay on the Fousse river in the Atcha- falaya district, was reported tonight as causing uneasiness, owing to the discov. cry of number of sand boils
 | A wet spot was reported to have de veloped in the Lucy plantation levee in I St. Charles parish, about a mile above the scene of the disastrous Hymelia cre-
 vase of 1912 and just opposite the point where the Bonnevarre crevasse occurred
 more than 50 years ago.
 BUILDING A REFINEMENT Behind this levee are the tracks of the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pa cif1c railroads to New Orleans. The work | CTS are placing a revetment in front of the wet spot at a point where the old levee system is joined by the new. The dry earth being placed behind the revet- ment will be sufficient to hold it against sloughing, it was believed
 A desperate fight is being made to keep the water out of the business section ot Rayville, in Richland parish. A break in the protection levee from the pressure of high water in the Boeuf river was re- ported to have inundated the residence section and threatened the business dis trict. Efforts were being made tonight to build up the embankment, but it was stated little progress was being made Arkansas river levee breaks caused the high water in the Boeuf river, it was said.

riage and her moral and God-fearing
citizens. The Church of Rome alone
makes saints, led on by her dogmas,
her moral doctrine and her sacra-
ments. Holiness, purity, self-sacrifice,
and self-renunciation always find
congenial soil in the Church of Rome.
Where are to be found these holy
virgins, these lovers of poverty, these
noble heroes, who have forsaken all
earthly things for Christs sake, have
crucifed their flesh and have trampled
under foot the world, with it's mani
fold allurements? Certainly not
among the first reformers of Prot

the influence of Professionalism, but
truly in the fold of the Catholic
Church, the fruitful mother Of mar

Church promote Christian perfection
by encouraging millions and millions

education, the training of the youth,
