Spirit of Mrs. Anthony
Writes for Stuff Paper

In spite of the fact that she died
in 1900. Mrs. Susan B. A nthony has
just written an editorial for THE
Suffragist." the organ OF the Wo-
mans party.
No, really.
Yes. she has. Anyway. here are
the facts.

Then, with an eye to the necessi-

had been postponed for the sake of

THE battle has finally begun.
After four generations of skirmish-

enemies of democracy are forced to
give battle on the suffrage lines.
The thin grey line of veterans
who dared the first assault on the
Congressional intrenchments have
marched on. But their flags have
not been furled. Indomitable
crusaders have kept the banners
high.

Enemy Has Program.
The enemy artillery has adopted a
regular program OF shelling our
trenches and the regions behind our
lines. At a certain time every day
he turns loose a certain number of
shells on certain localities. dropping
them on roads and communication
trenches.
Yesterday evening one of his shells
caught a slat-wagon travelling between
two villages. 1t didn't hit it directly
but caused it TO overturn on the road
side, bruising the driver.
Despite the danger from shell fire
and snipers. our officers have difficulty
in preventing their men from exposing
themselves recklessly. An officer yes
terday evening caught a private half
way out of our trenches.
Don't you know Fritz can snipe you
there?" he demanded.
Il suppose so. sir. if he sees me"
was the soldiers reply.
The enemy apparently attempted to
bomb the American field hospital last
evening. An aeroplane descending to
within 500 feet of the ground gunned
the locality with a machine gun and
dropped eight high explosive bombs.
Three of these failed to explode.
The remainder tumbled into an ad-
jaCent field raining a shower OF dirt
and bits of steel against the hospital
walls. Windows were smashed, but
no one was injured. Today the
patients were removed from the hos
pital, being taken further to the rear,
owing to the danger Of shells and
bombs.
The enemy also shelled villages be-
hind the lines ineffectively. There
was desultory artillery firing all day.
Four privates were wounded by
hand grenade explosions.

BASIC MEASURES
 IT. SESSION SET.

That Governor Hunt, in his call for a special session of the Arizona legis- lature which he has stated he will assemble during the early summer months, will include in the work for that session to accomplish, the matter of caring for some of the state jn sututions in the way of special ap propriations, it being announced that there are deficits in several of those funds, was rumored at the state house yesterday
 This work, with the enfranchising of the Arizona soldiers away from home, and the matters of woman suffrage and national prohibition. is to be the program for the special hot weather session, it is stated.
 It is probable that there will be no changes in the officials of the house or the senate Representative Johns of Yavapai county will be l speaker of the house and Senator l Claridge of Graham county will be president of the senate, according to the opinion of politicians at the state house yesterday. Sam W. Proc- tor, who was chief clerk of the last house, and who now is secretary of the state corporation commission. will likely again be chief clerk. being given a leave of absence from the commission for that purpose. C. r. Hicks of Prescott, also will be the secretary of the senate, as at the last session.
