Paso and the vicinity has had
4 spme unusually rough weather
lately. but there IS positive proof to
the contrary. Everybody knows
that the baseball season opens Just
when the weather begins to get balmy
and bland, and the players and fans
at Fort Bliss have opened the sea
son. Two games have been played
Both have been as spirited as mid
season games, the attendance was
good for the opening games and the
only recognition that Old Man
Weather got out OF Il at all was that
the teams, by agreement, played
five inning games.
In the game played Sunday the
SD field artillery team defeated the
nine from the 18th field artillery by
q score OF SO The game was pre-
eminently a pitchers battle and for
the second game OF the year the
twirlers showed exceptional form,
each allowing but one hit. The team
from the 18th registered their hit
during the first half Of the fifth in
ming, being a three base drive with
one out. The hopes Of the 18Th were
dissipated by Napier, shortstop for
the S2o, who made a shoe string
catch and pulled of 4 double, re-
firing the side.
A base hit on balls, q hit later and
Q home run swatted out by catcher
Andrew G. Gigre in the last half OF
the fifth won the game for the SD
nine when II looked like a 90 game.

son, which was played two weeks
ago. FISCHER lobe struck out y bats
men for the SD during the five in
ming game The score for the first
game was 9-5.
Far from being discouraged, the
boys OF the 18th are preparing for
another game. They believe on form

held their opponents scoreless until

An observing newspaper man who

more interested In the Liberty loan

troops than they are in anything else.
An experienced politician who has

remark that the American people set

the one thing which the American peo-
pie now are settling Is the German
sutocracy. That is what they are
thinking about In the cities and In

believe that IT makes any difference
whether there is a Republican or Dem
ocratic house of representatives. The
men of both parties have been praised
on all sides for what they have done
to aid the president in carrying on the
war and 1t is no douDt a fact that
whichever party is in power, the same
strong support will be accorded the
administration until success Is

SUFFRAGE ACTION EXPLAINED
That Proposition and Prohibition Bring

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Standardization Wilson. like
Theodore Roosevelt, relies upon the
people for support. 1t was Roosevelts
policy. when he wanted TO put any
thing through congress and was met
with an adverse majority, or opposi-
ton among the leaders which was able
to defeat what he wanted, to place the
whole matter before the people in such
Il way as to bring the pressure of pub
lie opinion upon congress and force 1t
to act. No other presidents have ever
Used the power of public opinion to
secure action with the same effective
ness as Roosevelt and Wilson. Neither
Cleveland, Harrison. Mckinley nor
Taft ever put into operation the pow
or Of publicity aud pressure from the
people as have Roosevelt and Wilson.
In regard to legislation which he deems
of great Importance and where there
is intense opposition, the president al
ways appeals To the people. Before
the United States entered the war he
even went so far as TO make tour of
the country and urge the necessity of
ar Increased army and navy because it
was weIl-known that there was ma
jority ia congress against such in
creases. And so it was in regard to
the selective draft law; Ne made it
plain what was needed and reluctant
congress voted for what he recon-
mended. One of President Wilson's
closest friends in the United States
senate explained his appearance be
fore the senate on the suffrage ques-
ton by saying that favorable results
wCCe expected after the people had
been heard from. He said that wheth-
e. senator's would change or not de-
pended upon the teIegrams they would
get from home after the people had
read the presidents address urging the
adoption Of the suffrage amendment.

that his personal statement In his adj
dress Ia the senators would have the
effect. but the effect would come from
the people, as it had in the past, In
support Of the presidents for anything
that he deemed necessary to win the
war;

the debate on woman suffrage, which
has not received much attention,
but 1t is known that 1t has been
the source Of deep consideration in
the Southern states. 1t Is In re-
gard to the status of the negro when
this war Is over and when the negro
soldiers return TO the United States.
The point was raised In the senate by
two Southern senators. Hardwtck or
Georgia and Vardaman of Mississippi.
both of whom have been defeated for
denomination. Both were somewhat
alarmists on the subject. Hardwick
said:
THE South Is going TO have
heavier white mans burden TO carry
than II ever had in that period of re-
construction which followed the Civil
war. That may sound like a strong
statement TO senators who do not live
in the South and who may not under
stand the situation"
He then went on to explain what
had happened In the South in the way
Of revising the electoral franchise,
which was done for the purpose of
keeping the negro from voting. In
state constitutions, in order to allow
white men who could not pass educa-
tional tests to vote, provisions were
made that soldiers and the descend
ants of soldiers could vote. Hardwick
went on to explain:
Now this war has come on. We
have drafted impartially from the
male population of the South, and II
4 the war lasts long we will draft hun
dreds of thousands and il may be a
million or more negroes of voting age
In the South. who will go into the
service Of the country under the
Stars and Stripes and to France.
When they come back. under our own
state constitutions, the only ones we
could write under the Constitution Of
the United States. they come back as
In any one of the states. and they
come back exempt from the educa-
tional tests and the property tests Of
the states of the South"
Vardaman. although supporting
woman suffrage. said there was force
in the objection which the Southern
men made that IL would be more diff
flcult to get along with the negro wom-
an than the negro man. But referring

Probably it is Just as well that there

For many years it has been n ques-
tioA whether a senator or representa-
tive in congress should represent his
constituents by his votes, or vote his
own convictions. a great many years
ago. 1t is said. senator's especially
took the ground that man should vote
according to his own views and not ac-
cepr the dietation of his state, whether
voiced by Il legislative resolution or by
polls. For the last quarter of cen
fury there has been more or less con
troversy on the subject. As a usual
thing men vote according To what their
constituents want. That has been the
case In regard To prohibition. Let a
state 60 prohibition and it is almost
certain that its senators will vote for
any prohibition measure that comes
IN. On the other hand senators rep
resenting states which are wet often
times vote prohibition because Of the
strong prohibitionist sentiment that
exists ia certain sections of their
states.
In regard to woman suffrage n num-
Der of senator's have voted according
10 the demands of their constituents
without regard to their own personal
views. st the same time great many
senators from nousuffrage states ear

and would not be Influenced by the
action Of his state. Senator McCum
Der of North Dakota announced that
his convictions were opposed to WON
hn suffrage, but as his state had votet
for woman suffrage he would supper
the amendment. Senator Borah o.
Idaho was conspicuous example o

was matter belonging 10 the states
