Featuring tho presence of Roosevelt tin the stand was his declaration that Senator Holes Pen rose, of Pennsylvania, ought to be ejected from the 1'nited States Sen ate. Harrlman Asked Coin for New York; Roosevelt Helped Him. "I bold that Penrose should bo thrown out of the Semite because of his admissions before this committee that, lit; advised John D.

' Ilarrinian, according to tho Colonel, s-iid mere money was needed to elect Wiggins Governor of New York and nsl:ed to have Cortelyou and Bliss assist in raising funds. Roosevelt then asked Loeb to telephone Cortel you and Hliss and ask them to help ilarrtmnn out. Roosevelt declared if the Standard OH contributed to his, campaign in Hint it was dono with out his knowledge or consent. Ho quoted a letter he had written to George Sheldon, treasurer of tho Re-: publican National committee of l!iiis, as follows: 1 "I am informed that some one, act ing in your behalf, reiiuested a con tribution from John 1).

Sliaw LARLE AUDIENCE HEARS II R Aristocracy of Sex Gov.rns Cjun:iy Indications in Ongan Are Fur Big Victory "Prom all Indications. Oregon, on the fifth day or next November, is going to enfranchise women by the biggest majority the equal suffrage cause will ever have received In any state." This was tho prophesy of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw In eoni'linl ing ail address in Roseburg Thursday night before an audience that far overtaxed the seating capacity of the Circuit Court room of the court house. Dr. Shnw, who Is president of (he National Equal Suffrage Association, handled her subject in the same scholarly, dignified manner that characterized her address in this city j i. je.iiH ago. ,-tne lllierspeisetl ner remarks Willi humorous illustrations and quotations from history, and now and then a word of satire crept 111. Fully eighty per cent of her listeners were women. Wi'st Has Flower of Nation. "If Oregon does give the women tho ballot, she will not only he fol lowing In the footsteps of California, Washington, Idaho and Colorado, but she wiM simply be catching up with China Just think or it. When the constitution of the new Chinese re public was framed u few months ago it included a provision putting wom en on tho same plane with men in governmental affairs, with educa tional qualifications. "I'll tell you why (lie great West Is adopting woman suffrage and the East Is not. It Is. because the virility of the Nation, the Hower of the man hood and womanhood of this country and the higher class or foreign citi zens are living In tho West; In the East, we still have the old fossils and the dregs of foreign immigra tion. .Most of the progressive citi zens of tile East have either moved westward or. they are coming here as fast, as they call. "I was pastoress of a church In the East lor seven years, nnil every couple that I married went West, ev ceptlng one, who preferred to stay In the East beeause they were perinitleil to live off of the bride's parents. " " Man's Inconsistency. "Tho average man today wants to ride In an airship and bis wife to ride in an ox cart, like grandmother ilid. The women couldn't do that if they wauled to. The hand of progress, moved by man's desire for financial gain, has taken from the homo the spinning wheel, the loom, tho pre serving kettle and oilier nnelout household facilities and substituted labor saving machinery. And now. If a woman want's grandmother's Job sho must go Into the store, lbo fac tory or the sweat shop. "In tho olden days, grandmother could regulate tho hours of her labor, according to her personal wishes. She was supremo In that. Her grand daughter of today can't do that. She lias nothing to say about man-made laws that force her Into the commer cial world, and that's why she de mands the ballot. Woman does net want the ballot simply to vote; she wants the ballot because Its the only Have meilluin by which she can secure so cial and economic justice. She wants! the right to vole on laws which she' is expected to obey and she wants a voice In the selection of men for public offices. This demand is Just. ' Why should wo quibble for a moment over such a question?" j Title of Republic Misnomer. I Dr. Shaw asserted that the United States never had been a republic and that it never would be a republic un til women were granted tho ballot. "Women are persons, the same asj men," she argued, "and a govern ment is simply Its people. When you' make laws in which only one-half of: the people are represented you have not placed the country In the class of j a republic: you have simply exerted tho power of sex aristocracy. You' have an insuperable barrier against I one-half of your citizens, and as long as such an unjust condition exists your claim oi ht-ing a republic is false. Who will dispute that If a new constitution were to be framed for Ihe United States today that there would be no hesitancy in granting suffrage to women? Plll'ly Lemloi's i'llllill. "Women's right to the ballot Is now generally recognized all over the l:nlled Slates, and the politicians can not much longer deprive us of that right. And three of the Presidential candidates are having a sorry time trying to conciliate the elements of their party who are divided on the question. Mr. Tal't has been ordered to favor equal suffrage west of the Mississippi and to oppose it In the East: lie is obeying orders. Mr. Wil son has been ordered to keep still about It, ami all we heard from lit lit so rar on the question is that he has been debating It for Hie past nine! -in i.n 1 lis. and lie is still debut Ing. Mr. Roosevelt was ordered to mine out!, boldly and shout, for It all over the country, anil he, too. is obeying. Four, years ugo be was afraid to express an opinion on It. None of these men I are fooling us a lilt. They are all' out for office, and they n have to reckon wltli tho female voter sooner or later. If all of the Western states give women the ballot, which they are sure to do, It will give those stales such a powerful Influence In National elect Ions Hint the East will be forced to fall In line." Old Arguments Itiililleil. Dr. Shaw did not spare that ele ment of lo r own sex who decried equal suffrage simply I ailse Ibeyi didn't, want to vole. . "Why should1 this deg-iu-the-maiiKcr altitude of a lew women prevent Ihe greater num ber of women who do want to vote from voting? Along Willi this anti quated argument we still hear such assertions as household quarrels and neglect of family In the event of equal sutTrage. My friends, married couples wlio are prone to quarrel will quarrel whether Ihey discuss polities or not. And such persons usually quarrel about, the most trivial things on eniili. when a llllle( p:itlin.e would avert such millions-j nnluesH. This has been my observa-: Hons in my 'i years or Iruw'llng as' lecturer. As to a woman negleii Ing ' household duties If she were 111 vole. Hint Is rank absurdity. Do you think; a woman caliool. take a few minutes I time two or three days out of each year to drop a piei t paper In a. h ix. after working the rest or the year for several bouts a day, without' Injuring Hie welfare of her family?.. Dr. Posey Specialist for Kyo, Kar, Nose mid Tliroat Diseases. Ryes fitted with ".lasses. PARROTT HI.DG. Roseburg Oregon Bsl a ParkCommission Such nonsense Isn't worthy of notice. "1 only nsk the men to put them selves In our places for a moment If they can, and seo themselves gov erned by Chinese, negroes, Dutch, French, Italians, every race and color, without on opportunity to Bay what tho laws which govern us are to bo, paying our share of the bills without a chance to say what the bills shall be. "Somo people argue that women do not want the ballot because It would not be Bnfo for her to go Into the madly excited rabble about the polls on election day. Is It possible Hint men who nre so amiable and pleasant ami civilized 3C4 days of the year thai we are glnd to live with them, will become on election day such raving beasts thut we dare not walk the streets? Do we lock our doors nnd hide ourselves away on olecllon day now? No; It Is merely the old, u ii reason Ing fi-ar of Uio un known, and a false conception of ninu and of what tho government Is. The government lies neither I:; the glided dome at Salem nor in tho men who sit beneath It uny more than the kingdom or God lies there alone; like the kingdom of God, It lies with in ourselves. Take us away, and all the other 'uses,' and there would be no government. Evolution of the Hiillol. "Women sufrrugo wus defeated In Oregon in the past chiefly through the Hunting vote Hint is tho vote of unmarried and childless men nnd men who had no permanent place of residence. Tho homo owner, tho permanent resident, and tho fathers, Ihe class who do tho most to build up a community, are with us. Give women the ballot nnd the floating voter will bo outnumbered. Ills In- riueuco will go, "The men know lots of things that Hie women do not; the women know a lot of things of which the men are Ignorant. Hut tho men nnd women together know everything. Lot them voto together, us they live, nnd you'll tuko a tromendous stride in the bet terment of government, "In the old Colonial days of tho Pulled States a man had to bo a member of a particular church be fore ho was nllowed to voto: tho church, not tho man, votod. Later the revolutionary eraser was applied mid tho religious qualification was displaced by the word 'tnxpuyer;' the money, not tho man, voted. Subse quently, the revolutionary eraser was again used, nnd the word 'taxpayer' gavu way to the word 'white' bolero tho word 'male.' AHer the Civil War, the eraser struck out the word 'white,' leaving tho word 'male' un modified. Now, at this date, the women ask tho men to uso tho ernser once more. Strike out that word 'male' and substitute the words 'good citizen 21 years or ngo or over, otherwise qualified.' Tills would not bo revolutionary; it would bo evolu tionury; It would bo tho flnul Btep in evoking un actual republic out or n monarchy, ruled by sex aristocracy," t i;m:v axi italy DECLARE WAR OF I LONDON, Oct. 3.

He divided his lecture In to two sub-topics: "Needless Knlcks, and Needful Knocks," the useful var iety of bunipB, however, constituting the main bulk of his discourse. Mr, Parlette had at his command a choice assortment or jokes, old and new, which he distributed Impartial ly throughout the early part of hla talk. "Do good to others," he re marked, "but don't wait for a receipt. You'll need a poultice every time." "Luck," he said at another time, "la like the slinking of an apple barrel, which filially locates the larger fruit at tho top. It I k men will find a piuce in the upper stratum of life just because of the hard knocks they encounter." To the sons of the rich, Mr. PVr lette extended his heartiest sym pathies, citing Instances of young men, who had had life made too easy for them nnd who In consequence hud turned out failures. Some of his epigrams were: It is glorious to get old and glad of It. 1. can't. find many great men that got their start with steam heat. Verily, diet and destiny go hand In hand! One apple busted Eden. The sermon was so Impressive the other night that the choir paid atten tion. Philosophy Is great Btuff after dinnor. Hut It don't fill the stomach. I am so glad God and heaven are bigger than the little knot hole I look through. It Is hotter to be remembered for our loving deeds than for our bad breath. i Some folks haven't done a thing for GO years but beat the undertaker out of a job. A good trouble-maker can always find employment. The raw materials are everywhere. Why does the father bolt his horse In the barn, but lot hlB boy prowl nround all night? And why does he chain up a D-cent dog and let his daughter flutter at random? Study the higher branches, but re member that the higher branches that fnther breakB off the apple tree back of tho houBe have more to do with shaping your deBtlny! I am surprised at what anybody does whether an angel falls or a devil rises. I pity the one and love him; I cheer the other and love blm. God's trolloy wire Is right over both, nnd In reach of all. During his entire discourse, the spenker cnrrled out the metaphor ol life as a university course, and In concluding, finished the figure by naming death, "Ood's commence nient." ., . , . In the afternoon preceding his lec turo, Mr. Parlette talked to the students of the Roseburg high school In a very Interesting way. GARDINER HARBOR VNDER INSPECTION. DRAIN, Or., Oct. 3.
