MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, PRECOX, THURSDAY, .JULY 30, 1908. JL mm E "No Taxation Without Representation " Slogan for the Campaign To the Editor: J have attempted many times to write and thtmk you for giving spui-e to my letter and especially for vour edito rial comment. If the general ncwspupor trateruitv. who balieve as you do, would tnko tip the same question with the same fearlessness, it would not be long till the la rye majority of the women of the state, who believe us you and I do, would come out openly and admit that they arc keeping eompuiatively quiet because they object to being trailed behind whisky barrelu in t ho company of perpatctie professional agitators, who unsettle values, engender lying, hatred and lmrikuc, create "blind pigs" and "speak cosies." make- cheap drug stores numerous and properous aim secretly oppone equal suffrage with votes. , The great majority of women wane, a real local option constitutional amend ment that will say what it means r.ud mean what it says. All women see. except the very few egitators who got notoriety, travel nml livelihood out of the propaganda, that v.o have o such thing as real local option laws i:i Ore gon. What ve need, but cannot g?t without votes for women, is n return to Ihe law of pe.ti ion and remount rar.ee, with taxpayhig men and w men alike eligible to sign any petition or remon strance for or against a groB"gery or groggerles in Iheir separate precincts. I do wonder how many men whose means of livelihood are imperiled or destroyed by the present misleading law can now see that if they hr.d been junt to womrn when we asked for the ballot in lf00, they would have quietly avoid ed the troubles that at present beset them. I herewith enclose you a circular con taining my address on this question be fore the Idaho constitutional conven tion in 18S9, to which T wish to call your personal attention; also the np?ech on ballots and bullets given at a con vention in Washington, P. , in the l'( bruary of the same year. We have again prepared to resubmit our suffrage amendment, as a taxpay ing issue, this time. We have received since July 10, 4750 certified signatures or nearly half the number required by law. We want to get them full and filed with the secretary of state "by October 1 at latest. We shall then be gin our quiet, but steady work of or ganization for the campaign for the election ta November, 1010, among men and women who are not drunken with prohibition or any other species of in toxication on any subject. I enclose a petition blank for your inspection. Could you recommend some man or woman outside of prohi or C. T. U. circles who wmild circulate pe titions for us in the interest of good government, fair dealing and common sense f All depends upon whether or not we are treated with courtesy and fair deal ing by the press as to what we shall do in the future. 1 have been so cru elly persecuted in the past for standing by principle and opposing fanaticism that I naturally want to spare my coworkers from an embroglio of like character, lest we frighten them into nmbush again.

Irish Frowk FOR SUFFERAG B .......; The Yankee Pass. --. iOrlglnsl.) It was at a period soou after the close of the Revolutionary war that Aaron Whitney, a Yankee peddler, passed through the Mohawk valley on hla way to Albany. The day waa Sun day, and there was a law among the Dutchmen of those parts that 110 oue should travel on that day. Moreover, there was as much antipathy between Dutchmen and Yankees as there Is be tween cats and mice. How the Dutch ever left Holland to make homes lu a new country beyond the sea uo his torian has ever explained, for when a Dutchman waa once Bettled anywhere he never moved. Not so the Yankee. He would take up a piece of land. Im prove It, sell It and go somewhere else. "Melu Gott," exclaimed one of the deacons of the Dutch church, "see that Yankee traveling on the Lord's day! Was ever such bluspheuiy? Let us take him before Justice Van der Douk, who will doubtless mete out his pun ishment." So tbey took Aarou before the Jus tice. He was sitting under an apple tree near bis house, with a glass of scnuapps beside mm and a long clav pipe lu his mouth. This is not men tioned as an unusual position for the great man, for all the long day he sat lu no other. As Aaron was taken be fore him the peddler saw a pair of blue eyes looking at him from a win dow In the bouse. There wns some thlng In the young girl who owned them to attract him, and there was that In the peddler's spry Btep and twinkling eye to oaten her fancy. What yon travel Sunday for?" ask ed Van der Douk, taklug his pipe out of his mouth and looking sternly at the peddler. 'I'm goln' to Albany aud from there down east. - I have sold my wares aud want to get home." H'm." said the Dutchman, "you stay here till tomorrow. I don't want you to bring the wrath of the Lord down on us." The peddler threw off his pack, mak ing a virtue of necessity. At least that was the appearauce of It. Really be was quite willing to remalu over awhile that he might look upon the fair face of the justice's daughter Katrlna. who had looked upon blin out of her blue eyes. Aud the girl was equally desirous of seeing more of the engag ing peddler. Why it is uo man has ever told us, but peddlers are proverbi ally fascinating to women. Perhaps It Is the same audacity that enables them to sell their wares. At auy rate, the peddler, leaving his pnek for security. weut off to the other end of the apple orchard aud waited for the girl to come to bim, never for a moment doubting that she would do so. And she did. She had been long de sirous of pouring out her dissatisfac tion at the life she led to some person in whom she had confidence, and she felt sure that she could confide In the Yankee. She told him that her father compelled her to do nil the work, while he smo!:ed and drank schnapps: that she hud a thousand dollars lu n bank t Albany left ber by her mother foi which her father was trustee and that he would not let her have It. The ped dler told her that Bhe needed n hus band to work for her, and Bhe would tlud this much easier and pleasanter than working for some one else. Now, tbe justice, thinking the peddler In a hurry to go on. when the shades of night came down lutlmnted that for consideration he would pass him. The Yankee declared that Sunday end ed at sunset. The Dutchman scouted such theology, maintaining that It last ed till sunrise the next duy. The Van kee finally consented to pay. The Jus tlce, who either could uot write or was too fat or too lazy to write or could not write lu English as well us In Dutch, told the Yankee to write a pass. Aarou took up the quill aud wrote lu an illegible hand on a bit of paper. The Dutchman ran bis sleepy eyes over It, grunted "Coot!" signed It and band ed It back to him. Anthony folded It, put It In Ills pocket, tool: up his pack and departed. The Justice (tot up from his chair and by tbe aid of two canes got himself Into the bouse, where sup per wns served him by bis daughter. Then, after a couple of hours' smoke, be went to lied. The next morning when he woke up aud called Katrlna, as usual, there was no response. Tbe old man roused his neighbors, who hunted high aud low for the damsel, but she was not to be fouud. That she bad gone with tbe peddler never occurred to the Justice or any of the stupid Dutchmen. If they connected her disappearance with him It was that he might nave murdered her. Two days passed, and Katrlna did not reappear. Then one morning thero came a letter to old Van der Donk. Since be was not used to receiving let ters be felt sure It contained Informa tion of his lout daughter. He helped himself with his caues to the apple tree and got oue of his neighbors to bring bis plie and his schnapps. After he bad taken a pull at tbe one and killed the other he broke the letter's leal. It contained a statement closing his account with the bank In Albany where Ills daughter's legacy was kept There was one Inctosure. The Dutch man looked at It frontward, sldewlse and upKlde down. He could make noth ing of It. Then he called the nearest notary, who read It and told him thlt It was su order for the bank to pay to Aaron Whiting his daughter's legacy, with accumulated interest. In ten min utes more a light broke Into the old man's brain. "Yah." he said reflectively: "It's t Yankee pans!" I.Al'KA ail.EMAN. Lew Nckd DrtiMi. lu the early dnv of PeunsyWauU there was a law, as we learn from documents lu the state department.
