1t is hard to locate the origin of this

is regarded as small wonder that there
are but few people who entertain the

johnson Doesn't See Why
They Hold Up

| Washington, Aug. 4.-Members of thu
Senate committee on woman suffrage, in
GLIDING those who favor votes for womer
as well as those who do not, have served
notice of their intention not to vote fol
a report on the suffrage amendment un'
til suffrage picketing of the White House
is stopped.
The attitude of members of the COM
mittee was disclosed as result of eff
forts made by Senator Cummins of Iowa
to have the committee discharged from
further consideration of the measure.
Senators Hollis of New Hampshire,
Democrat, and Nelson of Minnesota, Re-
publican, who favor woman suffrage, did
not hesitate to disclose the reason for
the committees hardness. Said Senator
Hollis:
Now there is something that is bound
to come up here, and that we might as
well face.
Il think it is very desirable not to
have a report on this joint resolution UNI
til we can get unanimous report l be-
lieve it is impossible to get it, and there
is one member of the committee that is
doubtful now.
This is the trouble and it might just
as well be stated There is small but
very active group of suffragists who
have acted in such a way that some of
us who are ardently in favor of woman
suffrage believe that their actions at this
time should not be encouraged by max
ing favorable report at this time. Now
am one of those"
Senator johnson of California said that |
he did not think the actions of any group
Of women should influence the committee
N determining whether suffrage should
De granted to the entire country.
Il am sorry that cannot agree with
he SENATOR" replied Senator Hollis. 81
,hink that at this time to take the very
course to try to get committee
discharged from the consideration of a
natter as important as this would chal-
enge the attention of the country upon
he action and would give undue weight
o what has been done by this group of
ctive suffragettes.
Il should be opposed to a favorable
eport at this time myself, although
ayor favorable report at this session

a favor of the resolution and had no OBJ /,

missionary" variety, each guest
bringing her own contribution, and
such a bountiful repast has seldom
been set on the table of any Ashland
home. Although scheduled to run
only four courses, the dinner insisted
on requiring at least six, and even
then we have a suspicion that some
of the shorter courses we're doubled
up, so plentiful was the supply OF
good things. Mrs. Jack engineered
the directing of the dinner with un-
erring skill, being assisted In pre-
liminary arrangement to on little
