Anna M. 9ha\ r Not Surprise d to Rea d Anmment by Former Presi dent AKains t Eqsal SuSrasre—Sum B. Anthony' * Tart Reply—Mr*. Cntt Bxnlaln a Ballot Claim. Former President Grover Cleveland's article, \Would Woman Suffrage Be Un>vlse?\ written for the Ladies' Ih>aie Journal, has aroused a storm of protest and condemnation from women who claim the right to vote. The gen eral tenor of the criticisms directed at Mr. Cleveland Is that his arguments against equal suffrage show a lack of Information on his part concerning the Bubject The New York Herald recently pub lished the following comments of lead ing suffrage advocates: Rev. Anna M. Shaw, president of the Women's National Suffrage associa tion: \After Mr. Cleveland's recent sweep ing denunciation of women's clubs It is not surprising to read an argument by him against equal suffrage. His first article showed him to be very Im perfectly acquainted with the good work that women's clubs are actually doing all around him. His second ar ticle shows him to be even less ac quainted with the facts In regard to equal suffrage, which he has not had much opportunity to observe. \Mr Cleveland says that- most wo men do not desire the 'ftallot Most women undoubtedly are Indifferent, but of those -who take any lively In terest in the question either way the large majority are In favor. This has been demonstrated in every state where petitions for suffrage and re monstrances against It have been sent to the legislature \Theodore Roosevelt recommended woman suffrage In his message to the legislature, to tile great horror of the conservatives, when he was governor of New York. And on this question the facts of experience bear out the views of our present president, who faces toward the future, rather than those of our former president, who faces toward the past\ Susan B. Anthony. \We don't ask Grover Cleveland or any other man to find the God given sphere of woman. There are enough of us who are sufficiently Intelligent to find it ourselves. \I am glad that Mr. Cleveland sees that the organization of women's clubs paves the way for suffrage. It Is a nat ural sequence, because women's clubs are interested in movements for the betterment of city, state or government civics, and when they attempt to do anything they run their heads against the ballot bo* In short order. They find that the vote of one ignorant, illiterate man outweighs their entire club in fighting for or against legislation. \Women are Interested in liquor laws because they affect tbe home. When the man gets drunk he goes home; when he is unfaithful it is the home that is- hurt. The grog shop, gambling room and brothel are directly antagonistic to the home. Why would not women vote against them if given the chance?\ Carrie Chapman Catt, former presi dent of the National Suffrage associa tion: \Grover Cleveland, like most oppo nents of woman suffrage, evades the main claim why women should be en dowed, with the ballot iFew woman suffragists have ever claimed the bal lot for women as an inherent right They are agreed that 'It attaches nei ther to man nor to - woman by nature.' They claim it as an act of justice, not as a concession of chivalry. The ballot was first given to men upon the prin ciple that 'taxation without represen- Women are taxed Washington, Nov 2 —President Boosevelt's proclamation fixing Thanfesglving Day for November 30 'was issued to-day. It reads: Wuen neatly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the coun try which has now become this great Bepublic, they fronted not only hardship and privation, but terrible risk to tnelr lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in eaoh vear for a special service of thanks giving to tbe Almighty for preser ving the people through the chang ing seasons. The custom has now become national and hallowed by Immemorial usage. We live In easier and more plenti ful times tnau our forefathers, tbe men who with ruge»d strength faced tbe rugged days: and yet the dangers to national life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It i s eminently httiog that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thankRgiving to the Giver cf Good, and, at tbe same time, that they express their thankfulness for abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge themselves soletanly an In good faith to strive to overcome them .

' The Burlington railway is preparing to give a practical test of the opera tion of trains by telephone, Bays tho Kansas City Times. The work of stringing additional wires between Kansas City and St Joseph has been begun, and by late fall every station will have been equipped with a new , telephone service. The phones will 'connect with a system of wires which lead to the dispatcher's office in St | Joseph and to the superintendent of terminals' office in Kansas City. When the service is started trains will be ' operated on the block system, using I the manually controlled signals for train orders Burlington officials be lieve that the service will give better satisfaction than use of the telegraph. A limited telephone service between Kansas City and St Joseph is now in use by the Burlington, but no effort is made to control the movement of trains by It exclusive of the telegraph. The phones are used now by station agents to talk over business matters that come up In their offices. The tele phone at the Bean Lake station is now used by conductors to call the dis patcher's office for orders. There Is no operator at Bean Lake A. T. Perkins of St Joseph, superintendent of the line between Kansas City and St Jo seph, who was at the Kansas City Un ion depot recently, said - \Material for construction of the ad ditional telephone serrlce is on band and the linen are being built We have never made an effort to block trains by telephone, but we believe it a good plou and will give It a trial at least We do not propose to do away with the telegraph Those wires are always busy and will frequently be used for securing train orders when the tele phone wires are busy We believe the telephone Is Just as safe or even safer than telegraph Neither Instrument re cords Its messages, but plain talk Is often better than the talk of a tele graph key We hope to have the wires strung and connected with all of the sixteen stationd this fall.\ Cleveland's article on woman in his uSuil style, butrpSf that he iUdt^Jt; acquainted 'wi,^ a . he attempl &fi on. .6n %tot ;tbet ^omen; ar *-JttTfc mighlSi«iSf The cars is A speed of sixty-three miles on hour was attained by the Union Pacific's second gasoline motor car the other day on Its official trip from Omaha to Fremont says an Omaha special dis patch to the New York World.
