Was beginning to wear out.
And then they had talk -,
About the taxes creeping
And some one split a pot
OF boiling water seething

Who underneath did stand,
They talked about the roads again
And where they'd put the sand.
Then they adjourned for dinner

And when l finished eating.

Mr.. Malone's Address.

A. Portland. Monday night, ad-
dressing the largest suffrage mass
meeting ever held in Portland. Dud-
lev Field Malone made an attack on
the conservative" attitude toward
suffrage. Miss Anne Martin Of
Nevada candidate for the L. S.
Senate, was another speaker and
made IA favorable impression, but
Malone was the bright Irish star of
the occasion. and several well known
men of the nation must have had
burning ears. Prejudice. and preju-
dice only. was the thing that stood in
the way OF the passage of the suf-
frage amendment, he said. and he
ridiculed the men who hold in effect
that viewpoint that since the Father
OF Our Country did not write a suf-
frage clause into the Constitution
their opposition to woman suffrage in
principle might he calculated upon.
There are only tIYo things to do
with the mind said Mr.. Malone.
"One is to have it stand still and let
IL rot: the other is to use it and let it
grow. The only possibility of growth
10 agitation. We'd have had no lib
erty in this country il men had been
afraid TO agitate. I'm afraid that if
Patrick Henry were alive today n
great many men would not approve
OF him. He was considerable of a
disturber. you know"
He then turned his shafts upon a
certain Massa, husetts senator whose
patriotism, he said he did not ques
tion, but whose intelligence on the
suffrage question he most assuredly
ala. He made another caustic refer
ence to Mr.. Roots statement that he
made up his mind with reference to
suffrage in 1855 and hadn't changed
1t since. This point he drove home
by asking what would be the sanitary
condition of a man who hadn't
changed his apparel since 1888. and
then topping that by query as to
what would be the mental condition
of a man who hadn't taken a mental
bath on a particular subject since
1888.
Mr.. Malone referred to Senator
Hale of Maine in most complimentary
terms, saying that he was a man
young. able, charming in personality.
well liked in Washington and had
proven effective in industry since his
election. He also predicted that Sen
ator Hale had a career before him,
and said that he had by no means
given up hope that a man of this type
would decide to cast his vote for
suffrage when the question came to a
final issue. A similar optimism was
entertained by the other speakers
Miss Vernon and Miss Martin. and
resolutions were passed urging Sena-
tor Hale to take that attitude.
We sincerely hope that Senator
Hale will not fail to identify himself
with progress by accepting the
friendly suggestion of the Portland
meeting. Suffrage and prohibition
are as sure to come as are the leaves
TO come out in the spring. Both are
living evidence of the triumph or hu'
man advance. Of moral supremacy If
the ascendant. Every thinking mar
and woman knows that. ana an!
policy Of delay is bound to mark hin
who adopts 1t at a critical hour.

pressed a desire to retire to the inner

farmer. He wrote:
when we first got over here we
hoped that we would have q long stay
and that we would have lots to do.
Then people began to speak occa-
sionally of getting home and now
there isn't man aboard that doesn't
pray and hope that the war may be
over just as quickly as possible. The
one thing that keeps US from getting
too anxious to Set back is the fact
that we have plenty of work.
when we get into port we have
just long enough 20 get rested, go
ashore and stretch our legs when it
is time to start out again. In one
way we are very lucky. we know that
we are where things are going on and
can usually feel after making trip
that we have accomplished something,
whereas the people at home are al
ways worried about wanting to get
away and be on the spot.

however. in making plans for starting
