MILAN NOT SURE
 ABOUT SUFFRAGE

Answering a letter from Edward P. Clark, Senator George P. Mclean has written as follows on woman suffra ge:-
 q have your letter, but can add expressed upon the subpject to Miss Luddington and others. If I thought that the women of her class would not be the first to regret the respon- abilities of the ballot, I should prom ise you my support without hesitancy. base this conclusion upon the testi- mony of women who have the privi- lege of the franchise and who tell me, in confidence, that they were mistaken.
 Some of the states have had suf- frage for nearly thirty years and the laws in those states are not as fa- vorable to women as in the non-suf- frage states. The percentage of wages paid to women, as compared with the wages paid to men, is much higher in Connecticut than in Colo rado; and if you consider prohibition thing to be desired. I think you will find that out of the sixteen or seventeen prohibition states, the women have the franchise in only four or five of them.
 You see, I was always brought up to believe that women should al- ways be referred to as the other sex. and I have always advocated and voted for every. measure that would protect them, and of course, you know that in all the states. with one or two exceptions, the rights of the wife to her liberty and her property, are fully recognized. If she wants a divorce the husband must pay the expense; he must support her without reciprocal obligation on her part to support him. This is as it should be, but when she steps down to his level and becomes a competitor, I do not wknow what the effect will be in the long run.
 These are some of the things that run through my mind and I have de- clined to commit myself to either side up to date, in the hope that I shall be led to take the right side, if there is such, when called upon to vote Two or three times in my life I have surrendered my convictions to my sympathies, and have been roundlJ

EMPIRE

Al truly cosmopolitan film '"The World for Sale,' by Sir Gilbert Par l1er, an Englishman, was arranged for the screen and directed by J. Stuart Blackton, a staunch Ameri- can and producer of '"The Battle Cry of Peace." The actors include Nor bert Wicki, born in Poland, Crazy Thunder, an American Indian and one of the last of his tribe, Escarmillo Fernandez, a Spaniard and Joseph Donohue, who as the name indicates, is Irish.
 This was entirely accidental and merely happened by chance-possibly helped out by the fact that the fields of literature and the screen world were thoroughly secured to find this production anad types" that could adequately interpret it. '"The World for Sale" a Paramount Picture, is to be shown today and tomorrow at the Empire theatre.

The Angamos left New York last Monday for this port by the outside route and the Chilean cruiser Chancabuco went out to hunt her up on Friday. There seems to have been some misunderstanding among the Chilean authorities, for the Angamos adjusted her compasses and remained in shelter on the south side Of Long Island during the blow and never was in any danger of shipwreck

By David Starr Jordan.1 Land of long days of happiness, Of pale gray skies and windmills
 tall Wide is the world, and thou art
 small,
 But yet we love thee none the less. Land of sweet bells and faith serene, Of solemn sunset calls to prayer Brooding above the darkened air (But sweet bells jangle at Malines). By fair Liege, whose storied dead Sleep in her great cathedraFs nave, The Mouse rolls on, with glittering Go! her green current turns to red). At Bruges the belfry tells his tale Of days when ugliness was crime. And bids us hark the ancient q only hear child's low waiD. Namur o'erlooks fair lands outspread Where hamlets of Brabant are
 seen
 Standing knee-deep in meadows
 green
 (soft-'tis a new-made grave you tread).
 At Ghent the great bell Roland tolls Where through six centuries long
 the tower
 Has summoned freemen to their
 hour (It mourns a thousand passing souls). And old Louvain, Louvain the wise, Hugs to her breast the precious
 store
 Foregathered of our ancient lore (But hungry flames fill all her skies). And Ostend, by the gray North Sea, Dreams of her ancient hardihood; GA sea more grim, of steel and
 blood,
 surges behind her ceaselessly). Howe'er the tide of battle roll, There bides what none can burn or The Flemish spirit of old days, The Ageless freedom of the soul Land of long days of frightfulness, For faith and honor crucified, Though thou art small ,and earth $ wide,
 We still shall love thee none the less.

Clothes From Peat.

A very interesting and economical
ly valuable invention, in the field OF
Substitute materials" has recently
seen the light In Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture OF n strong textile ma
terial from peat fiber. The inventor
began 10 study this process 20 years
ago, but, so far his methods were ham
pered by the drawback that the pro-
cess of manufacture was much too
costly: he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. In
duced by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now ut last
succeeded in making dress material
from peat on large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial wool, and they
are said TO be of great durability. A
factory for the working of the process
wholesale Is about 10 be erected.
