jpF Effect of Woman Suffrage Feared b; 5 the Liquor Interests of Montana. In a recent issue we published por tions of a letter written by the Mon tana Protective association (of thi ^ liquor interests) to a Detroit fire which manufactures steam fixture sometimes used in barrooms. The let ter was a request for funds to wag< the campaign against woman suf rage. The funds not being forthcom ing, a further more frantic appeal ha been received from the liquor inter ests. It reads: R. "Our state legislature has just clos I ed its session and our association hai l been very successful in defeatinj k many measures which would hav< fcoMooail +V10 troHo in VfMltflTlfl T Bflfe i-lOl wi U>UV AU AtAWMVMMMt ? 8& has been a difficult task, for Mon tana, like all other states, is feelinj HB| *ke effects of the great reform wav< "which is sweeping the country. Th( gjgg battle we have been fighting durin? BIB the last sixty days has depleted ou Hb treasury, and we are not through it W Besides this, the great question o woman suffrage will be submitted t< the electors at an early date. Wi are now preparing a statewide cam paign against woman suffrage in thi: state because the leaders have avow i ed that one of the principal reason! why they desire women to vote i: if j that it will afford them the bes ' mean9 of sweeping the saloon busi ness out of Montana. Our local re tailers are doing all they can, bu the burden is too heavy for them t< carry it alone, and it is only righ that those who are enjoying and mak y ing a profit from the sale of theii goods should help us in conserving for them their accounts and busi . ness." Woman suffrage and reform, re form and woman suffrage, the agent of evil find it very hard to distinguisl L between the two. They are firml: and unshakenly convinced that whei women have the ballot, the success B of the liquor interests in "defeatinj SP measures which harass the trade ii ' Montana" will be brought to an end What the decent independent vote: of Montana has evidently failed to do the women will. All women are no paragons of virtue and wisdom; fai from it; "the Lord made them t( match the men," but there are cer tain ancient evils, chief among whicl is drunkenness, against which wo men have fought and worked anc prayed since time began. Suffrage is a weapon, and the first thing tha' women will do with it will be to turr it against the world-old enemy of th< home.?Collier's Weekly. ? * Accused of Peonage. Orangeburg, April 29.?J. D. Miles a prominent farmer of Barnwell coun ty, was brought to this city on yester day by Assistant United States Depu ty John Kennerly, and was given J _ hearing today before Commissione: . A. A. Brantley. The charge agains Mr. Miles is peonage. Mr. Miles wa< bound over for trial at the Unitec States Court in Charleston, whicl convenes the first Tuesday in June It was brought out that Mr. Mile: had a negro on his place, about 11 years of age. It was charged that thii negro was coerced and forced to worl on Mr. Miles' place. The defend put up no testimony, as this was i nroiiminarv hut Mr. Miles states tha , _ the father of this boy apprentice< i him to him, according to law, ant that his actions toward the boy hat been well within the law. Were Better Acquainted. Conversing with a coterie of friend: the other afternoon. Dr. Willian Osier told of the rather embarrass ing position in which a weil-knowi physician recently placed himself. The physician referred to by Dr Osier was a guest at a social affair and at dinner was placed besides ai elderly lady, whom he had not previ ously met. Almost at once the lady who was inclined to garrulity, begai to talk. "By the way, doctor," she smiling ly remarked, "ought I to call you doc tor or professor?" ( "You may call me what you please madame," was the physician's quid reply. "I am frank enough to aamn however, that some of my friends cal me an old fool." "I see, doctor," smilingly repliec the lady, "but of course, they mus be people who know you intimately.' ?Philadelphia Telegraph. 3>r. Poteat Called Down. ?

NO GAMBLERS AT PANAMA. y They Are Shipped as Fast as They Arrive. Uncle Sam cares not only for the - physical welfare of the canal diggers e on the isthmus, but also for their a morals and their pocket-bodks. Res cent travelers to Panama had an intoroatinP' illustration of the Dains - Wi VWViUQ ? f e Uncle Sam takes in these matters. On board the ship bound from - New York to the Canal Zone and a s few other places was a man whose - free and easy manners attracted the attention of his fellow travelers even - before it was discovered that several s youths who played cards late with I him at night in the smoking-room e usually went to be bed poorer than t they were before. When the final - port was reached the men of the I passengers assembled by request in 3 the smoking-room for what was call3 ed medical inspection before landing. % The inspection was not unpleasr antly rigid, but when the suspicious . passenger's turn came he was asked f to step aside for a later examination. 3 He took on an indignant air at first, 3 but yielded without much fuss, and - again presented himself when the s other passengers were disposed of. - The inspecting officer then took from s his pocket an official-looking paper, 3 and said: t "I have orders from headquarters - that you are not to be permitted to - land." t The detained passenger flashed up 5 a bit, blustered a while, said a few t things about his inalienable rights as an American citizen, nut was met uj r the quiet advice to be quiet, and the * assurance that all resistance would - be vain. "You must go with me to quaran tine," said the officer, and go the s angry passenger did. 1 Next day accommodations were j found for the man on a fruit steam1 er bound north, and he had the 3 pleasure of doubling his voyage witlil out making acquaintance with anyl body on the isthmus who was dis. posed to risk money at cards. It was r explained by the health officer that , the authorities never knowingly pert mitted a professional gambler to land r in the Canal Zone. The presence of > gamblers is regarded as detrimental - to the efficiency of the force.?New l York Sun. i Love's Supreme Test. 3 ???? t "Nobody will set out a woman's i garbage can for her but her servant, > her husband or her lover." This is not the persiflage of a vaudevillist or the epigram of a philosopher or the mockery of a cynic. It is the , grave declaration of a referee in a - divorce case where it was proved that - the defendant husband had not only - carried home groceries for the co-rei spondent, but had looked after the r garbage pail. t Shakespeare classed the lover along 3 with the poet and the lunatic, be1 cause they "are of imagination all i compact." The referee in this case classes him with the husband and the s servant because of a servitude abso) lute. Th argument of the referee in 3 support of his conclusion was quite t simple. "A man's affection for a woe man," he said, "is shown by his wili lingness to take trouble on her bet half', to do little services for her, to 1 do with a willing hand that which a 3 man not in love would deem tiresome, 1 troublesome and disgusting. Then it is not the champagne dinner nor the lobster supper nor the auto ride nor the diamond ring nor 5 even the sonnet nor the offer of marriage that constitutes the supreme test of love. i Justice With a Vengeance. A broker was talking about J. , Pierpont Morgan. i "The money-trust investigation un doubtedly shattered him," the broker , said. "He believed that this investii gation was unfairly conducted. He likened it, in my hearing to a horse stealing trial out west. "A jury was gathered in the street, he said, and shut up in a room, after , a brief trial, and when an hour had t gone by, a mob burst in and uncere> moniously demanded what the ver1 diet was. , " 'Not guilty,' said the foreman. 1 " 'That won't do!' said the leader t of the mob fiercely. 'You'll have to do better than that.' And he shut the jury up again." "In half an hour the door was opened once more." "Well, gents, your verdict!" said the leader. "Guilty," the foreman replied. , "There were hurrahs from the ' crowd, and the leader said: "Correct. You can go now. We strung him up an hour ago-."?Los j Angeles Times. , Dispensary Petition in Sumter. Sumter, May 2.?A petition for an - election o-n the dispensary next Au gust is being circulated in this county and has gained a large number of - signatures, although it is still un certain that it can secure the signab tures of the necessary two-third voters of the county. THE MAN AND THE GRIZZLY. Feigning Death Saved a Surveyor's Life. Left for dead by an infuriated female grizzly bear who had mauled him almost to unconsciousness is the nerveracking and thrilling experience that K. C. Chipman, chief o-f a Dominion geological survey party, while camping on Mineral Creek, near Wilmer. Mr. Chipman had gone out from camp alone with his rifle to examine the mountainside behind the camp, In i -.V in r\ n f V? A Koof w JLilCil is vci y aiccp, ao lu iuc place to scale it for triangulation purposes on the morrow. Presently he sat down on a log to rest; a bear charged at him from some bushes without the slightest warning. As he struggled in surprise to free himself he saw a pair of cubs to one side and behind him. Unknowingly he had sat down to rest between a female grizzly and her young. Firing one shot, he rushed down the steep mountainside, the bear following with such determination and force that it rushed clean past him. Instantly Mr. Chipman turned and went back up the hill. As a bear, however can run faster up hill than down, he was quickly caught by the huge beast and shaken as easily as a terrier shakes a rat. Luckily the fierce ? shaking caused the bear to lose her footing on the steep hillside and both rolled together some distance down before bringing up. It was now that Mr. Chipman displayed the courage and presence of mind that saved his life, ,for on bringing up among some bushes he 9 - J. j? J - - 4.U lay periectiy quiet, leigmng ueam. Satisfied, after sniffling him all over, < that he really was so, the bear ambled away to her cubs. On his men getting to him he was carried into camp and made comfortable, while a couple of men were sent j down here for Dr. Opie, as it was j found impossible to carry Mr. Chip- [ man out from the head of Mineral Creek to the junction with Toby River and the logging road. Dr. Opie got to Mr. Chipman about midday on Saturday, after a gallant fight for miles with burnt and fallen timber. He found that the leather leggins worn by Mr. Chipman had practically saved his right leg below the knee from serious injury, but not so with the left, which is badly torn above the knee from the shaking, the bear's teeth being deeply buried in the knee also, inflaming it considerably. Mr. Chipman will be all right again probably in a month. Working Women, Idle Men. Abaut 500,000 women work in New York City. Of these 100,000 are | married and 50,000 of the latter sup- 1 port husbands. On the face of it this looks like an indictment of American manhood. The superficial critic might jump to the conclusion that the American man is a drone lazy, shiftless, a good-for-nothing hugging his rocking chair while his wife works to provide for herself and him. In reality, however, these figures are not an indictment of our manhood, but of industrial conditions and tendencies, which , in many cases, induce or compel discrimination against men in favor of women. While 500,000 women and girls jam subways-, elevators and cars in their rush for the shops and factories every morning, 350,000 men in New York City and State are jobless. The New York department of labor has just made public figures to that effect. Many of the 50,000 husbands who are being supported by their wives probably would be found in the ranks of this army of unemployed men. The underemployment <^f men and the overemployment of women form two of our greatest National problems. Home Women Raid "Wildcat" Still. Rome, Ga., May 3.?Refusing to tolerate the presence in their community of a "wildcat" still and the almost open sale of liquor, a band of women residing at West Armuchee, in Walker county, searched the woods near Suttle's mill until the still was found. In the party were Mrs. S. Hunt, Mrs. Brock and daughter and Mrs. Anderson and daughter. _ The moonshiners were busy at work I when the women approached, and I immediately took flight, but not before they were recognized by the ft women. C Securing a pick, the amateur raid- E party made a desperate effort to E destroy the stili. United States reve- t< nue officers were notified and made a raid in the hope of capturing the moonshiners and their outfit. The raid had been tipped off, how- v ever, and when the officers reached f] the scene the still had been hurried- b lv rAmovprJ and no nnp was about. v> Eight hundred gallons of beer were p destroyed. It is said that the opera- c tors of the still are well known, and ^ that arrests will follow unless they f< have fled the country. o See those wire wall baskets at The Herald Book Store. r< jl Need Your Trade!
