JUST COULDN'T MAKE
THE WOMEN BEHAVE
They Just couldn't make the women
behave at the election last week. Very
few of them knew how to cant their
ballot according to the rules laid down
by lloyle. They did their bent, but
they couldn't do It without asking a
few quite a few questions. Lot of
them didn't know that that was what
the clerks and Judges were there for,
ho they jUHt asked each other. Many
a lively and spirited debate was In
terrupted by the stern voices of the
election board, but after a moment's
awed alienee the hum started again
rose in volume and in less than Ave
minutes It would sound like an after
noon tea In full session.
"We couldn't keep those women In
the booths any more than you can
keep a refractory horse In a stall with
out a rope and halter," declared one
of the judges after the strenuous
day's work was over. "They'd get
their ballots and then the next minute
t -oy'j dodge outside the railing to
ask a friend how to mark it up prop
erly." Instead of maintaining the digni
fied and solemn silence which is sup
posed to pervade the Banctity of the
booths they talked back and forth,
exchanged questions and answers and
forfeited their ballots a dozen times
if the judges had seen fit to enforce
the letter of the law. In fact some
of Hood River's society matrons might
even now be doing the Kinmcline
I'ankhurst stunt in Hood River's coun
ty jail if the stern hand of the law
had done Its duty. It is said.
A campaign of education will prob
ably be carried on in as tactful a man
ner as possible before the next elec
tion and some of the rules and regu
lations governing elections will be im
pressed upon the mind of the newly
enfranchised sex. Mrs. J. P. Lucas
and Mrs. It. D. Gould, who acted on
the election board, are now well vers
ed In all the technicalities of the law
in this respect and It may be that the
Woman's Club will underake a course
of timely hints for voters.
HEIGHTS TO PLAY
INDEPENDENT BALL
The Heights Base Ball Club will
open its season Sunday, April 20, with
some fast team from Portland.
Kfforts were made by both Hood
Itlver teams to reorganize the Mid
Columbia River League which was
very successfully handled last year,
but through the inability of White
Salmon and The Dalles to enter it
has been dropped and both local
teams will play independent ball.
The Heights team is rounding into
form and will present a formidable
line-up In the opening game.
The men who have secured posi
tions on the squad are as follows:
Hart, Hall, Tate, Koontz, Rood, Moore.

and Hamilton.

NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
President Forces Sugar Sched
ule Through House
Caucus
Washington. President Wilson
scored his first tariff victory when the
house democratic caucus, by a vote
of 155 to 39, adopted the tentative
sugar schedule, making that commo
dity free after three years of 1 per
cent duty.
The vote was taken after Chairman
of Ways and Means Committee Un
derwood had warned the house that
the adoption of any of the many
amendments placed before it would
be a direct affront to the president,
who had specifically asked the adop
tion of the sugar tariff schedule, and
would seriously imperil the passage
of the bill In the senate.
"The sugar schedule In this bill was
not reported from the committee as
I personally would have reported It,"
he said. "It represents, however, the
wishes of the president"
The final adoption of the sugar
schedule, which Underwood declared
meant an ultimate saving to the con
sumer of $115,000,000 yearly, followed
a day of stormy debate.
Senate Reserves Rights on Tariff
The attitude of the senate toward
President Wilson's tariff plans, as
embodied in the new house tariff bill,
became fairly well defined after a
meeting of the democratic members
of the finance committee.
Briefly the senate committee will
agree to the view of the president and
house as to free wool and one cent
sugar, with the "free sugar In three
years" attachment, but It will exer
cise Its right to amend other schedules
and provisions of the tariff bill as it
thinks best.
Wool Fight Becomes Critical
The fight against free wool has be
come more acute at both ends of the
capltol. and several state delegations
in the house are appealing to senators
for support in the fight to retain some
duty.
Stubborn opposition to the admini
stration's wool program developed
when 40 democratic congressmen from
wool growing states met and decided
to vote with republicans against the
house wool schedule which bears Pres
ident Wilson's stamp of approval.
Republicans Plan Tariff Contest
In a caucus the republican members
Of the house laid plans tor a vigorous
organized opposition to the Under
wood tariff bill. The caucus ordered
the preparation of amendments to the
Underwood bill providing for a non
partisan tariff board and for provis
ions of the cotton and wool schedules
of the tariff.
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee were In
structed to prepare amendments next
Thursday.
Pure Clothing Wanted
Representative Murdock. progress
ive leader in the house, wanU cloth
ing manufacturers who mark goods
"all wool" when they are not, fined
and put In Jail. He put in a bill pro
posing a series of labels ranging from
"pure wool," to "mixed goods," which
would hold manufacturers responsible
for proper labeling of their goods.
The penalties range from $500 to
$1000 fine and a year in prison.
House Progressives Assign Work
The progressive conference of the
house parceled out the work of pre
paring the measures that will form a
part of the progressive legislative
plan. The house members will work
In conjunction with the legislative
committee of the national progressive
party, of which Gifford Pinchot, Jane
Addams, Dean Lewis, of Pennsylvania
University, Walter Weyl and other
prominent persons are members.
Ten legislative subjects were as
signed to them, and they will form the
basis for the legislative campaign of
