BossrNc THE BOSS.


w by the militant suragettes who have been trying
to the President to exert himself vigorously
in behalf OF the Equal Suffrage amendment, it IS evident
that the women have ouplayed the President in the
game OF politics Last fall, when many OF them were
arrested and sent TO the worhouse for carrying banners
In front OF the White House bearing quotations from
the Presidents speeches, the administration com

permits issued for them to hold their meetings,
without any further request having made by them
The have everything they asked except
an effective effort on the part of the President to line
up the members Of his party in the Senate for the Equal
Suffrage amendment The necessary proportion OF Re-
pubcans is ready TO support the amendment. The
Democrats have delayed and nbusered with the result
that defeat apparently awaits the amendment for lack
OF action.
Many persons take the that IL is not the province
the President control or influence the action OF
members Of Congress- and in this they right. But
the members Of the National Womens party who are
pushing the Equal Suffrage amendment vigorously
the position that since the President has nteerred
in so many other instances and has demonstrated his
ability TO make members Of his party change their att
tude when he changes his he reasonably be expected
TO deliver a sufficient number OF votes to put the
amendment over.
The equal sufragsts say they need only two more
votes in the Senate and since the Democrats have a
considerable majority and the Republicans have already
rendered their due proportion the Democrats should
produce the necessary additional votes abandon their
pretended advocacy OF equal suffrage They insist that
the President would put forth much effort for the
Equal Suffrage amendment he has for number of

that resistance his part is futile and he win

whether this will include delivery of votes TO put the
amendment over, remains TO be seen.

FEWER VIOLATIONS
OF THE TRAFFIC LAWS
High Cost of Speeding Has
Had Most Excellent
Effect.

Traffic violations in this city are
being reduced to a minimum, as is in
dictated by the small number OF viola.
tors who have faced Mayor Bowen In
the last month. In one month the
police have made exactly fOrty.four
arrests and but eight OF them have
been for traffic violations; eleven for
drunkenness, five for lettering. eley.
en- for GisOrderly conduct, six for va.
grancy. three for miscellaneous
charges.
Last summer and this spring practi.
cally half OF the arrests were for traf-
fic violations. several yiolators com.
ing before the mayor each morning
Last year the fine for the first oifense
was s., but this year It has been $40,
and It is generally believed that the
high cost Of speeding" has had some
thing 10 do with the reduction Of trst-
fic ofienses.
In speaking OF the few traffic viola
ton MAYOR Bowen this morning said:
The traffic violations are being re.
duced to a minimum. The officers re
port that there are still a very few
who insist upon violating The law
when the occasion presents itself.
