GREET TAFT WITH HISSES.
Women 'Receive His Declaration
Against Them With Outburst of
Wrath-President's Smile
Resists the Storm.
Washington, April 14.-The presi
Ident of the United States, the first
chief executive of the nation ever to
greet a convention of woman suf
fragists, braved the danger today of
facing an army of women who want
the ballot, had the courage to eon
fess his opinion and was hissed. So
great was the throng that sought ad
mission to the hall that hundreds
were turnd away.
'President Taft was weicoming to
Washington the delegates to the eon
vention to the National American
Woman Suffrage association. He had
frankly told them that he was not
altogether in sympathy with the suf
frage movement and was explaining
why he could not subseribe fully to
its principles. He said he thought
one of the dangers in granting suf
frage to women was that women as
a whole were not interested in it
add that the power of the ballot as
far as woman is concerned would be
controlled by the "less desiraible
Dlass.
Hiss Like Steam.
When these words fell from the
president's lips the walls of the eon
-ventioo hall reechoed a chorus of
hisses. It was no feeble demonstra
tion of protest. The combined hisszs
sounided as if a valve on a steam en
gine had broken.
President Taft stood manoved on
the platform during the dnamonstra
tion of hostility-for the hissing eon
tinued but a moment-and then,
smiling as he spoke, he answered the
unfavorable grepting with this re
tort:
"Now, my (dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct of
government affairs, by not hissing."
'The women who had hissed were
rebuked. The president's reply ap
parently had taken hold. There were
no more hisses while the president
continueki his addres, which. he
chacterized "as my confession" on
the woman suffrage question. At the
conclusion of his talk heb was en
thusiastically applauded and some of
'the leaders of the convention ex
pressed to him their sincere regret
over the unpleasanmt incident.
Feelings Not Hurt.
President Taft assured them that
he had not hed his feelings injured in
the least. "I am not entirely cer
tain,'' said the president, after he
hiad been courteously received by
Raehel Foster Avery, vice-president
of the association, "that I ought to
have come here tonight, but your
committee which invited me assured
me that I should be welcomed, even
if I 'did not su.pport alil the views
which are to be advanced in this
convention. But I consider that this
movement represents a sufflcient
part of the intelligence of the comn
munity to justify my coming here
and welcoming you to Washington'
Rachel Foster~ Avery presented the
representations of the committee on
petition to congress. The petition
to be handed to the national legis
lature within a few days advocating
the enfranchisement of women will
be the first appeal to congress ,by this
method, the report stated, for more
~th.an a quarter of a century.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi
dent of the International Woman
Suffrage alliance, said the petition
~probably would 'be presented to con
gress Monday and the delegates
would be .given a hearing Tiuesday.
Mary Gray Peck, headquarters see
retary, read her report for the year.,
Wansts to be Sure.
"If I could 'be sure,'' the president
continued. "that women as a elass
would exercise the franchise, I wouldJ
be in favor of it. At present there
'exists in . my mind considerablet
~doubts. In certain~ States, ,which
have tried the experiment, States in
the Rocky mountains, where there is]
no great congestion of population to
cope with, equal suffrage has not been
a failure. It has not made, I think,
any difference, though it is possible
to say that it has shown some im-i
provement in the conduct of public 1
affairs. Permit me to say the ~task
before you in establi'shing your poli-. i
tical rights is not in convining the <
men, 'but in convincing your own i
class. :.dAh
'".T'his is my confession of faith
'o the suibject. I am glad to wel- *e
come you here and recognize you as 3
a class of women earnest in your 3
desire for political recognition and e
earnest and high min'ded in the cause I
of good government. Even if I dis- (
agree with you, not in principle, ,but s
in the application of it to the pres- I
en3t situation,, I hope you will not a
deem me ungracious in saying as 1j
w.uh a I have. I came here with .i
the understanding by your commit
tee as to what I probably should
say. They knew I would not sub
seribe to all you advocate. I trust
your convention is all you hope for
an1d I know that it can not but be
productive of good." -
Shakes Leader's Hands.
When the president had conclud
ed he shook hands with Dev. Dr.
Anna Shaw, presikdent of the asso
eiation, and other leaders. The eon
vention arose as the president was
escorted from the hall.
At the conclusion of the session
many delegates expressed themselves
as humiliated over the hissing inei
dent. Miss Elizabeth Hauser of
New York said:
"I think the Idemonstration wam
outrageous. Of course the president
,did .not make a good woman suffrage
speech, but we regret exceedingly the
hisses.'"
Officers of the association express
ed deep regret that the president of
the United States should have been
treated so deplor1bly, but they p!
ed to the fact that a majority of the
audience was made up of outsiders,
not delegates to the convention, and
daimekl that the form*r -were re
sponsible for the hissing.
(Senator Owen of Oklahoma indorg
ed the suffrage movement and dared
any man to get upon the floor and
answer his arguments.
"Without apology," said the sen
ator, "I face the prejudice of men
of 10,000 years advocating suffrage
for women. If the entire rae of
men contradiets me, I still assert that
woman is entitled to ife, libery and
he pursuit of happiness."
MISS RUDD, FIRTJ AGENT.

Peabody fund $1,000 and Dr. S. C.

Few memnibers of the D. B. John

more enzergetic and enthusiastic thatn
Miss lise C. Rudd, its present treas

Miss Rudd, in 1904, won the State.
scholarship to Windirop college. The
next four years were spent in pre
paration for her work as a teacher.
Her most earnest thought has been
given to work of the College School
nmprovement Association, and she
resolved there to do something for
the betterment of this neglegted
school of imiprovemient. Returning to
Saluda .ibn 1908 she entered the coun

Nashville, 'Tenn., April 14.-The!

after the supreme court had eon.
firmed the 20-year sentence to th<
penitentiary caused consideraile ex
eitement, made no comment on hic
action today, except that the paxdor
spoke for itself. The governor has re
ceived about 150 telegrams from hi.
friends, indorsing the paxidon.
While the events of yesterday wer(
still the chief topic of conversatioi
,today, there was no gathering oJ
groups anywhere to discuss the mat
ter and there is no ground whatevei
for several sensational rumors thai
have gained currency.

THE DO TOR'S QUBSTION.
Soprw Aavice Against t4 Use of
Harsh Purgatives and Physics.
A doctor's first question when
consulted by a patient is, "Are your
bowels regular?'" He knows that
98 per cent of illness is attended
with inactive bowels amid torpid liver.
IT-his conditou poisons the 4ysbam
-With waste matter and causes ac
cumulation of gasses which must ibe
removed through the bowels ,before
health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartie
may be truly liikened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritati.ng action
ithey force a passage through he boxw
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal strwcture which
*weakens the whole synstem, and at
Ibest only proiduces temporary relief.
The repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic irritation of dhe stom
ac~h and ~bowels, dries and hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves,
stiffens their muscles and generally
ibrings aibout an injurious habit which
sometimes has almost, if not fatal re
sults.-: : -
