FROM LLCM.LE'S DIARY

For some reason mother hated to ac- eept Aunt RachePs invitation for the day. But when urged her she con sented at last and explained: T did not mean to make you feel bad, Lucile,, but there are a number of little things to attend to. The man is coming to take down the awnings Have him put them in the attic and if the wagon comes from the cleaners send the couch cpv- CTS and velvet portiere."
 'fvery we'll" I said, wishing mother would hasten, for intended to telephone Louise Erwin to bring her cousin, MT. Winstone. over to luncheon. He is a charming chap who is staying a few days at the Erwins'.
 i've put out the suit for your fathers old clothes for poor Mrs. Malloy's hus- band" said mother few minutes later when she was leaving. 'Be sure to give your grandmother good lunch, and now, good-by. dear.''
 'All right" I said, and I flew to the phone as soon as she was out of the house.
 Louise said they would love to come. except that MT. Winstone had friend in town who had just telephoned that he would run up to see them. Of course urged her to bring him along, saying that we could have rubber or two of bridge in the afternoon.
 For once Louise appeared to get into the spirit of my gayety We really had delicious meal, for took the pineap- pie cream dessert, that lilly had made for dinner, and the jellied chicken I got from the caterers was perfect with Louise's coffee and her biscuits.
 Just as we were finishing, I remem- bered that I had forgotten to call dear granny down, so I took up tray to her, Mir. Winstone said he thought was the most attractive granddaughter when he saw me .- on her napkin one of the. roses he had brought. Grandmother wasn't nearly so grate- ful for my, attention as I might have expected. She said she much preferred coming to the table the way other folks l do, and she asked querulously how iI the world I happened to have jellied chicken on Thursdays.
 Why not have something good or l Thursday as well as on Sunday or any other day?" I asked laughingly. Moth | ing is too good for you, granny dear 1 Oh, please get 1t, Louise. In mothers

 Mr. Baldwin also took occasion to deny reports that the cost of the suit would be borne by appropriations from the fund of ss50,00o founded by Charles Garland, of North Carver, Mass, who refused legacy of S1,OOo,OOO some time ago.
 T chance to be a trustee of the Gar land fund as well as an official of the American Civil Liberties union." MT. Baldwin said, "and I am sure that no application for a grant from the Garland fund has been or will be made in order to prosecute the suit against Adjutant- | General Hamrock.
 | The union said it would seek to recover for property, consisting of personal be- longings and manscripts, taken from Foster without due process of law" and for damages inflicted upon him and his association when he was prevented from
 making an address in a hall in Denver. ~ The exact amount of damages will be determined by the unions counsel in
 Denver, it was said. Roger A. Baldwin.

AN UNJUST ATTACK.

It is an unwarranted attack that as being made upon Prohibition Connis- sioner Haynes in the effect that has been made to have him removed from office under a charge of misuse of his posaion.
 The claim is that he has caused to be sent about the country under govern ment frank appeals involving the com- ing election, but 1t is wrong interpre- tation which is put upon 1t when it. Is claimed that he is urging the election of aElti-saaocn candidates just because he, in the office which he holds, is urg- ing the election of these who stand. for law and order.
 Commissioner Haynes is supposed to have oveEagf1t and direction of the en- forcement of the Volstead act Regard less of the opposition to it that is the law of the land and it is the enforce ment of it that he must deal with That he has encountered much more than. is known about in the way of lawlessnes5 in connection with the EAqt0or business is not to be doubted. Enforcement of the law, however, calls for the suppress sion of the manufacture, distribution and sale of Bqpor in violation of the law While it remains the law of the land not only Commissioner Haynes but the law respecting citizens of the nations should uphold it and in appeal ing for those who have come out wholly on the side of law and order is no more than should be expected from a federal official whose business it is to see that the law is upheld. He needs all the as- sistance he can get from those who be- lieve that t1ae Volstead act or any other law should be respected as long as ii remains the Jaw, and he takes no differ ent position than expected from a law
 enforcement official He is concerned with the accomplishment of hds duty.

room you'll find it" I was glad to dele- gate this little service to Louise, for I am so sympathetic and sensitive that I dreaded seeing Mrs. Malloy, our char woman whose crippled husband had just died
 It was certainly annoying to have the man come to take down the awnings and the cleaners boy arrive while we were in the midst of our bridge game, but made short work of them and we had really delightful afternoon notwithstand- ing the interruptions. 'LuciIe." called mother excltedly just before dinner time, where is your fa- ther's dress suit?''
 why. don't know anything about dads dress suit" replied. T left it laid out for him on the bed here in my room and it's not here now He's going to a special smoker or some thing tonight and he simply has to wear it. I can't see where 1t can have gone to-"
 Well I'm sure I don't know" I said running into her room. T haven't been | in here since you left this morning. | Louise Erwin came up to get the suit for
 Mrs. Malloy."
 'rWhy, that wasn't in here. It was done l up in a suitbox in the back hall. Oh, Lucille, don't tell me that Mrs Malloy has got your fathers dress suit to have i Mike walked and buried imp l Now, mother, don't blame me" protested. You said you'd put out the
 suit for Mrs. Malloy. How was to
 know it was in a box?" If you had attended to it yourself you wouldn't have given away your
 fathers evening clothes" reioined moth CT severely.
 "But I had so much to do. I had to give the awnings to the cleaner, and put l the portfere and the couch covers in the
 attic, and get granny's lunch and Surely, Lucille, you didn't send all those awnings to be cleaned? They don't need cleaning and it will cost a fortune. How could you be so heed less? It was the portiere and the couch covers that were to be cleaned. I'll never go away and leave the house in your charge again. I don't know what your father will say about his suit"
 Hell probably say he's glad. You know, he just hates to wear it." I said
 consolingly, but mother sighed--chica- lgo News.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Attitude of the Women,

Mir. Editor: In the Norwich Ba1lIetln of last Saturday and again Tuesday, some surprise is expressed regarding the votes of the women on the pro hibitory amendment as given by the straw vote'' which is belng taken by the Literary Digest, accompanied by the request that we subscribe for that periodical We think it is not matter of surprise, that so few voted dry, as it is surprising that any votes at all were sent in! No question should ever be sent to loyal patriotic American, as that of being asked if one believes that a law of the land should be enforced! We are in duty bound to obey all laws whether we approve or disapprove. The VoEstead act passed the house 287 to 1ee-nearly three times as many for, as against. It passed the senate with out a ron call. It was vetoed by Pres ident Wilson and inside of three hours the house passed it over the presidents veto, the senate coneurring by a vote of 65 against 20. Previous to this more than two-tlrirds of the states had passed statewide prohibjtory laws, showing exclusively the sentiment of the peo- pie.
 Why ask anyone whether he or she approves? Again the names of those
  evidently been taken mostly from tele- phone directories and these addresses are usually in the name of the man of the house.
 The writer of this article has attend ed several public meetings WRhin the last ten days and when the women were asked how many had received ballots, only very few hands were raised. AL so only one who was a subscriber to the publication quoted. A large num- Der Of the women of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union do sub- scribe to this magazine and up to last Friday not one had received a ballot! We must remember also that few comparatively speaking, have replied at all Half a million repldes represent a small percentage of the 1e,000,o00 bal lots sent out Of course those favoring repeal wd1d reply. There are some where around 30,000,000 voters in the country, counting the women, and the 1e,00e, ,000 ballots sent out represent not over one-third of the voters. Conse- quently the sentiment of the country either for or against the 18th amend ment is aot and cannot be accurately estimated One writer says "Prohibi- tion has made liars and criminals of men" to which statement we disagree It has only revealed them little pre- maturely. Now is the time for some magazine or publication, wishing to in l crease its subscription list, to send out questionnaire asking US to vote on oaI l approval or disapproval of existing au- tomobile laws, for they are violated as much as the prohdbftory laws Be ths result of the straw vote" what it may It is certain that the 500,o00 members belonging to the W. c. T. U. will moi | y5ote for. any candidate for any offfct who will not stand four square on en forcement of all law. Also the League Of Women Voters will stand by theil guns
 No one need worry over the votes O l the women.

 Recently we saw a handsome Victrola being hauled up the hill beyond our house. My wife asked the young col ored woman who was cleaning for us it was hers. A Negro neighbor, a nin- CT, had bought a Victrola and one hum dred records for SITS few weeks be- fore, soon tired of it, concluded to buy a piano, and sold the VictroIa to an- other miner (the husband of the young colored woman just mentioned) for s125 and bought the plano.
 These are uon-union miners. They get the same wages lhe un3on miners do, subject to the advantage of no dues to pay.

Bielaski Tells. Hughes
OF Mexican kidnapping
Charges Obregon Officials Paid
for Stories He Had Staged
Abduction by Bandits

From The Trtbuno's Washington Bitrcdu
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Details of
his experiences at the hands of Mex
lean bandits and officials were laid be-
fore the State Department to-day by A..
Bruce Bielaski, of New York City, who
was kidnapped last month at Cuernavaca,
in the state of Morelos. Mr.. Bielaski
talked with Secretary Hughes, Leland
Harrison, Assistant Secretary in Charge
Of Foreign Intelligence, and Matthew
E. Hanna, Chief of the Division of Mex
lean Affairs.
Asked If his observations convinced
him that American recognition should
be granted Mexico, Mr. Bielaski said he
was we'll satisfied with the policy of
Secretary Hughes on this question.
He told the department officials that
the Mexican government endeavored in
numerous ways to embarrass him over
the kidnapping incident, going SO far
as to direct that erroneous stories be
printed about him in the Mexican press.
II was told" he added, chat both
Eel UNIVERSAL and The Excelsior
stories that had arranged the kid
naping and that was to be tried for
self abduction. Of course, it is rdicu-
| lous and the Mexican authorities
know it."
Mr.. Bielaski said that the Mexican
government had great confidence in the
| value of propaganda to gain American
recognition. He will return to New
| York tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2a.-By i vote
| of 1893 to 90 the House sent the tariff
bill to conferences to-day for its third
redrafting. The ak Republican con
ferees, three from the House and
three from the Senate, probably will
have q preliminary meeting tomorrow
land get down 20 work In earnest Thurs
day.
The size of the task ahead of the
conference committee was revealed to-
day with the reprinting Of the bill as
! it was approved last Saturday by the
Senate.
The reprint showed 2,436 changes
from the original House text--a new
| high record aud the conferees will
have to adjust differences on each of
! these.
Democrats Predict Long Delay
In the hours discussion which pre-
ceded the House vote Democratic lead
ers predicted that the bill would not
be reported out Of conference until
after the November elections, arguing
that the Republicans did not want to
have to defend it in the coming cam
paign.
Republican leaders made no prophecy,
but Representative Mondell, of Wyonl-
ing, the majority leader, expressed
the hope that it would be out "at no
distant date"
Representative Campbell, of Kansas,
charged that the Democratic campaign
managers had arranged q very "cun-
ming" campaign to be inaugurated the
day. after the measure became law.
ALREADY the arrangements are
made" he asserted; "the stage is set,
the prices are fixed; the advances are
to be made upon every article enumer-
or ad valorem duty. and the price is to
be .-'vanced on the orders of the i'm.
port.,ss down through TO the retailers"
Fordney for Original Bill
Chairman Fordney Of the Ways and
Means Committee, who heads the House
conferees, promised that he would go
into the conference insisting upon the
original House bill He said the Senate
change from American to foreign valu-
alton as the basis for assessing ad
valorem duties was the most important
amendment to be considered, but added
THAT there were others.
Both in the matter Of specific and
ad valorem duties,' Mr. Fordney added,
"the Senate rates are generally higher
than those fixed by the House, in some
instances very much higher, and in
certain specific instances from 100 per
cent to 600 per cent higher
Representative Garner, of Texas,
ranking Democrat on the Ways and
Means Committee, predicted that the
House would have to accept the SEN
ate's foreign valuation plan if it wanted
to have any tariff bill.
Valuation Decision Urged
| Immediate action on American valu-
! alton was urged by Representative
| Garrett, of Tennessee, 1.-The Democratic
Header. He said the conference could
| make little progress on the bill until
| the House had settled this issue.
Representative Pou, Of North Caro-
lima, declared the House was sending
to conference bill more vicious in its
terms than any ever presented to an
American Congress and one that had
the enthusiastic support of nobody"
