tSeneral Yobbb'b Campaign In tho
A'ortU Is Meeting "With Sccceqk
Reliellloa Is Disintegrating.
MAMLA, P. I.. Dec. 14. (Special cor
respondence.) Immediately after the ar
rival of the Thirty-ninth and Forty
fourth Infantry, United States volunteers,
m the transport Olympia, -we were or
dered to Calocan. There was no delay.
The order was brought out by a small
steam launch. When we landed at the
depot quartermaster's ofucc In Blnondo
we found the train waiting for us. and
as soon as troops and supplies could be
loaded we were off. Calocan Is about
five miles from Manila north. Just be
yond Calocan Is the battlefield where
the Second Oregon won its spurs In the
battle of Malabon. The trenches we slept
in the night before the battle are here
tllL Commencing at the bay they sweep
completely around Manila, protecting It
from attack now as they did then. The
""ity is still threatened, and constant vig
ilance is maintained the whole length of
the lines. Strong bands hover In the
lulls six to 10 miles distant, ready to
swoop down at short notice on any ex
posed point.
There are several companies of the
Sixteenth infantry here and a battalion
of the Twenty-ninth United States vol
unteers, under the command of Major
Case, a veteran colonel of the Pennsyl
vania National Guard. The rest of the
Twenty-ninth is further up the line, un
der the command of Colonel Hardin.
Major Parker's battalion of the Thirty
ninth are on the line just beyond the
Twenty-ninth.
Malabon Is garrisoned by one platoon
of the Sixteenth infantry- Here are -Id
or 50 -men garrisoning a town of 30,000
people. They seem to be getting along
all right, although it looks a little dan
gerous to see so few men there. We
nold the entire line of railroad from Ma
rlla to Dagupan. There are several
bridges out and considerable track has
been destroyed by the insurgents. How
ever, these breaks are being rapidly re
paired, and it is only a question of a
short time until the cars will run clear
through without hindrance.
Young's Successful Campaign.
The war Is progressing very favorably
for us. General Toung Ss operating
around VIgan, in the north, with great
success. He Is hot after Aguinaldo, who,
with a strong bodyguard, under the com
irand of Gregario del Pilar, is in that
vicinity. In one engagement recently,
the enemy were completely routed, with
a loss of 70 killed and wounded. General
Gregario del Pilar was wounded. This
is the young Filipino officer who came
Into our lines at San Isidro last May
iseeking an armistice, and was sent on
down to Manila to confer with General
Otis. He was also in command of the
Insurgents at or near Quicqua last spring,
when the First Nebraska suffered so se
verely and Colonel Stotsenburg was
killed. He still speaks of that engage
ment with pride and evident satisfac
tion. General Young's movements in the
north have liberated a number of the
Spanish prisoners who have been in con
finement so long. Over 500 of them have
come Into "Vigaa from Banquet. Some of
them have already reached Manila. 1
saw some of them yesterday. They did
not look as bad as I thought they would.
They did not have the appearance of hav
ing been particularly well fed, but nei
ther did they have a starved look. It
seems that Aguinaldo has found It Im
possible to continue the strain of feeding
and guarding so many of them. So now
he has been compelled to let part of
them go. He still has a large number
of them with him, however. Including
JBftny -Spaal8&-&iEoor-axid,somo -American,
soldiers. General Grant's brigade Is op
erating around Subig, and will "move
north through the province of Zambalis.
General Lawton's division is occupied on
the south and east, while General Mc
Arthur's division Is continuing the good
work between Tarlac and Dagupan.
Things look more favorable for an end
ing of the war than they ever did before.
Nevertheless, a desultory warfare will
' doubtless continue for a long time yet
The Manila & Dagupan railroad is con
ducted by the quartermaster's depart
ment. United States army. The business
Is confined to the transportation and sup
ply of the army. One regular train is
run each way every day, besides the spe
cials. The tops of the coaches are al
ways crowded with Filipinos. They are
mostly women, who are permitted to
come into Manila and return without a
pass. The men must show a pass or a
cedula or tax receipt. They are allowed
to take out a limited supply of provisions
with them. No one is allowed more than
three pounds of rice. The restriction is
necessary to prevent them from carry
ing supplies to the insurgent army. An
examining post is conducted on the high
way at Calocan to prevent smuggling
through the lines.
Smuggling Is Carried On.
Many articles are strictly contraband
of war, and subject to confiscation. One
of these articles is salt. Many ingenious
devices are invented to evade the law as
to salt. One woman the other day had
her allowance of rice mixed with salt
In the proportion of about one-half of
each. It was discovered and the mixture
taken from her.
Colonel Blanco, of the Spanish army,
arrived in Manila on Sunday last with a
battalion of Macabebes. They are the
last of the Spanish garrison in the Caro
line islands, and came here to be mus
tered out. The advent of this organiza
tion created quite a stir in military circles
In Manila. They are Interesting to Amer
icans because the Macabebe scouts have
given the very best service to the United
States in Northern Luzon. When they
left the Carolines the Germans had al
ready taken possession. There was much
dissatisfaction over the change, but no
danger of an uprising. The more prom
inent residents believe that the future of
the islands will be safe in the hands of
the Germans.
The Thirty-fifth infantry is at San Isi
dro. The promotion of Colonel Kobbe
to be brigadier-general will make Lleu-tenart-Colonel
Plummer a full colonel.
This is but Just to him, as he organized
the regiment at Vancouver barracks and
made of it the excellent organization
which It Is. Mrs. Crowne and Mrs.
Prescott, wives of two Oregon captains
in the Thirty-fifth, are comfortably sit
uated in Manila. There are many Amer
ican ladies in Manila, and houses are
scarce. The natives are slowly rebuild
ing the Tondo district, the scene of She
great fire February 22. I noticed work
men repairing the stone wall encircling
the enclosure within which the Oregon
and Minnesota troops killed so many In
surgent soldiers on February 23. The
enemy still maintain their system of sig
nal fires and rockets. They can be seen
nearly every night off towards the moun
tains. On last Saturday morning Cap
tain Luddell, of company D, Twenty
ninth infantry, with 20 men, made a
reconnolssance In front of our position
ax Calocan. They had hardly gone more
than a mile and a half beyond the out
post when they saw three Insurgents in
a bamboo thicket in front. On seeing
the Americans the natives fled. When
the party reached the place where the
natives had been seen, they discovered
a very well intrenched position, hidden
by the trees and back of it a genuine
Filipino patont -cannon.
nilpino Cannon Captured.
They had evidently just brought it up
and had not yet mounted it. This won
derful piece of artillery is a happy com
bination of water pipe ?nd telegraph
wire. A piece of water pipe two and
one-half inches. In -diameter and about
four feet long composed the barrel. The
breech block was well screwed in and fas
tened. The whole thing weighed about
125 pounds. The touch hole had been
freshly drilled. A cannon similar to this J
one, but not so large, Tvas captured by
General Wheeler, on the north line, a
lew days ago, and was sent to President
McKlnley as a Christmas present.

ON BOARD TRANSPORT OLYMPIA.
Dec. L After leaving Honolulu, where
we had the satisfaction of gathering up
every man in bath commands, we took a
course southwest, heading direct for the
northern end of Luzon island. The long
and tedious part of our trip had just be
gun. As we neared the ISOth mer.dian, and
the prospect loomed up. Immediately ahead
of losing 24 hours at one fell strpke, the
question of celebrating the occasion in an
appropriate manner was vigorously dis
cussed. At length a definite plan was
decided upon. Committees were appointed
on finance, programme and refreshments,
resulting In an excellent programme,
which was carried out to the gratification
of all. The affair was carried out In the
ship's saloon, which her captain. True
bridge, had gaily decorated with American
and English flags, in-honor of the occa
sion. ,
Later In the evening toasts were in
dulged In to a late hour. One of the
toasts was "Sweethearts and Wives." Ma
jor John H. Parker responded to the toast,
"An Expanded Country, With an Expand

evening was Captain Long's response to
the toast, "The Fourth Estate," or the

knowledge and experience in that line ot
business In his native state, and to the
intense amusement of all present Other
toasts were spoken to as follows:
"Old Glorv," Lieutenant Welsh, of the
Thirty-ninth; "The U. S. Transport(R)

Lieutenant Edwards, of the Fourty-fifth;
"El dla Perdldo," Lieutenant Coxe, ofthe
Thirty-ninth.
Hypnotism Engaged In.
Dr. Beeson, assistant surgeon. Thirty
ninth infantry, is an eminent hypnotist
of Iowa. We were entertained with an
exhibition of his skill a few evenings since.
In the presence of all the officers he hyp
notized a corporal of the Thirty-ninth and
a private of the Fourty-fifth in less tima
than it takes to tell it
For Thanksgiving day a special bill or
fare was prepared for the enlisted men.
Preparations for this were made while tn
Honolulu, and large supplies of sweet po
tatoes, sweet corn, cranberries, raisins
and canned fruits put on boaTd. The fol
lowing Is the bill of fare, served to every
enlisted man on the ship: Codfish, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes, stewed corn,
bread, coffee, lemonade, fruit cake and pie.
Every man had a fruit cake, the size of
a larce loaf of bread, and a whole pie V
himself. All drills were suspended, and
the men given every opportunity to en
joy the day to the utmost The officers,
too, bad an extra bill of fare for dinner,
and at night celebrated the day in true
American style. Toasts were drunk to
"Our Country," "The Army," "The
Navy," "The Philippines," "The Girl 1
Left Behind Me," "Vancouver Barracks,"
"Hawaii," "Modern Surgery," "Conversa
tion Flags," and "Thanksgiving Day."
The programme was interspersed with
songs and Instrumental music by the en
lifted men. There is some excellent mu
sical talent among them.
Troops See an Active Volcano.
Between 12 and 1 o'clock one night we
were called up on deck to witness a vol
cano. Off on our starboard bow a dim
light was seen burning. As we drew nearer
It became more distinct and the form of
a roountaln came Into view. The moun
tain rose apparently as a smairjslind from
the depths of the sea. We passed It at a
distance of three miles, and had a good
view of it. The sky was clear, but no
moon was shining. Flames and a column
of smoke poured from Its top, forming a
scene never to be forgotten. This island
is one of the most northerly of the La
drone group. It is very small, and eald to
be uninbablted. It is near latitude 20 deg.
north, and longitude 145 deg. east, As an
active volcano Is something not to be seen
by the average American more than once
In a lifetime. It was thought best to wake
up the enlisted men in order that they
might see it Accordingly reveille was
blown, and the 600 and more men turned
out of their bunks to witness the sight.
And right glad they were to have the
chance.
Many people have a very cloudy idea of
what the Philippine islands are like. They
have no idea what a pretty country Is the
island of Luzon. 'Imagine what the roll
ing prairies of the Willamette valley are
like, and you will have a fair ld?a of the
appearance of the country along the Paro
panga Tiver, In Luzon. Here are vast
fields of rice, sugar cane, tobacco and
corn. Numerous streams, bordered with
a fringe of green trees. Intersect the fields
here and there, giving richness and tone
to the scene. The other islands are equally
rich. Mindanao is, next to Luzon, thp
largest in size. It is sparsely inhabited
by ignorant though fierce, tribes of sav
ages, and is to a large extent unexplored.
Here are vast forests of valuable timber
and rich mineral deposits of various klnas.
On account of these conditions I should
judge this island to be the best place In
the group for the adventurous American
to settle and make money. We found
these islands In a state of anarchy and
misrule. We will establish law and order
here. We found the people In dense ig
norance and superstition. We will bring
to them the intelligence and the best type
of modern civilization. We find the peo
ple behind the times in all the arts of ag
riculture and trade. In these lines we
will give them the benefit of the experi
ence of a people who help supply the
markets of the world.
There is a great future for the Islands
under American rule. They are rich, and
need only development The United States
will give to the Philippines the peace ani
security necessary for their -proper devel
opment and this Is the greatest blessing
that we can bestow upon them. Until
these objects are secured, the Stars ana
Stripes and the American soldier will re
main here.

INTERVIEWED
PRESIDENT DOLE.
Hawaiian Leader
Spplce Highly -of
Second Ore;
on Volunteers.
HONOLULU, H. L. Nov. 15-1 had an
interview with Sanford B. Dole, president
of the Hawaiian republic, and the man
who will most likely be the first governor
of the Islands when thev are formally
turned over to the United States. I found
him at his suburban home, about four
miles from the city and about a mile
beyond Wright's Villa, on Weiklki beach.
He lives here In an unpretentious but
comfortable house, directly under the
shadow of a big cliff by the sea, where
he gets the full benefit of every fresh
breeze that blows. He also maintains an
elegant house In the city. President
Dole is an exceedingly hospitable and
pleasant man to meet Mrs. Dole, the
president's wife, is a charmlnir womnn
with a firank and pleasing manner that'
maKes you reel at home at once. I had
met them when I was here before, and
found them to have many pleasant recol
lections of the visit of the Second Oregon
volunteers and the other regiments of
the first expedition to the Philippines.
President Dole Is a native Hawaiian
having been born In the Islands. His par
ents came here from the state of Maine.
With the exception of six or seven years
spent in college in the United States, ho
has lived In the islands all his life. He
therefore thoroughly understands the na
tive character and the conditions of the
people.
Tlnf T 1tt T.f-.7i
For many years lie has been the natural I
leader of the American element in the
Islands, and today ho is probably the most
popular man in them. In my conversa
tion with him he expressed the hope that
congress, at its next session, would pass
an act establishing a form and system
of government for the islands. At pres
ent, all the Hawaiian laws are still in
force. Mr. Dole is still president of the
Hawaiian republic. Duties are still col
lected on imports from the United States.
Hawaiian postage stamps and Hawaiian
money are still In use. However, the
very fact that annexation is an assured
thing has given a decided Impetus to
business. The American flag flies over
public buildings, and American soldiers
are stationed here. In reply to my ques
tion if he considered the Islands a good
place for immigrants from the United
States, President Dole (replied In the af
firmative, Especially does he consider
them a desirable field for men with a
few thousand dollars to invest.
The garrison of the islands cons'sts of
four batteries of the Sixth United States
artillery, commanded by Major Mills.
There Is an excellent National Guard or
ganization under the command of Colonel
Jones. It consists of eight well-drilled
companies, composed of Americans and
Hawallans. There is also an efficient
company -of mounted police.
One of the interesting1 sights In Hono
lulu is the Chinese mission school, under
the superintendence of Mr. Damon. Here
are some 200 Chinese boys learning the
ways of American civilization. They
come from all classes, and already show
the effects of their training. Their edu
cation is conducted in both English and..
Chinese. There are several American
teachers in this school, young men well
qualified for their work.
. Honolulu Is a stirlctly up-to-date Amer
ican town, full of American push and en
terprise. In all that goes to make a de
sirable place to live It Is far ahead ol
Manila. To those who can afford It 1
recommend a winter trip to this place.
The climate Is now delightful, and there
Is much to see and enjoy. The expense
will not be greater than a trip to New
York, and to those who have made the
latter will prove a pleasing variation.

Money In
Family In
Circulation
Alaska.
There is evidently considerable counter
felt money around in the form of half dol
lars and dollars, which are constantly
offered, and frequently being taken by the
street-car conductors. Last week a con
ductor on the Woodstock and "Waverly
branch received two half dollars, one a
light counterfeit and the other a Mexi
can. The same week another conductor
was given a counterfeit dollar. These men
say that counterfeit pieces are very nu
merous, and they have to be on the
watch constantly to avoid being Imposed
upon. The bad money offered conductors
comes from people who have gotten hold
of it from somewhere else, and who think
that it -would be a good thing to get it
Inro the hands of street-car conductors.
In fapt people undertake to make the
conductors a sort of dumping-ground for
bad money of every sort which they would
not think of offering to any one else,
but the conductors are the losers and not
the company. They have to make good
all losses in counterfeit or bad money
received. The conductor who received two
bad half dollars last week on the south
division of the City & Suburban system
states the people who pass such money on
them watch for times when they are es
pecially busy. Then they slip the defect
ive coins Into the hands of the conductors,
who may be too much engaged to exam
ine the money closely. The change Is
given, and the fraud Is discovered when
the conductor turns In his receipts to the
head office. "You would be surprised'
said a conductor, "at the class of people
who try to pass counterfeit or defective
change on us. They pass for good citi
zens, and are good citizens."

John Duthle, the tv ell-known boat-bulld-er,
who had been with Wolff & Zwlcker
from the time the firm commenced build
ing torpedo-boats, was doubly honored last
night at h!s heme on Belmont and East
Eighteenth street. It v. as the" 25th anni
versary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Duthle, and they had made their arrange
ments to celebrate the event In the com
pany of their Invited friends. The home
was elegantly decorated with evergreen
and Oregon grape for the occasion. As the
boat-builders of Wolf & Zwlcker had ds
clded to presont Mr. Duthle with a token
of their regard for him, for his courteous
treatment of them while he was connected
with that firm, they decided on proceed
ing to his home last night for that pur
pose. He was wholly unaware of their
Intentions, and was very much surprised
when Alexander ,C1 eland and some of the
other shlp-bullders arrived at his home
shortly before 9 o'clock. Mr. Gleland
stepped forward and in a few appropriate
words presented Mr. Duthle with an ele
gant planlmeter and a complete sat of
drawing instruments. Mr. Duthle was a
little surprised, but, quickly recovering
himself, responded In an admirable ad
dress, thanking the shlp-bullders for their
tokens. He spoke of his life as a boat
builder, and closed by saying that he had
always treated men under him with the
samo courtesy he himself expected from
others. He had now become an employer
of men h'mself, and hoped to merit the ap
proval of all he should employ. At the
close of the response by Mr. Duthle, he
waa warmly congratulated by all present.
The ship-builders also presented Mrs.
Duthle with a handsome parlor lamp. Be
sides these presents from the shlp-bullders,
there were many handsome sliver
pieces from friends. The evening was
very pleasantly spent, closing with re
freshments. East Side Notes.

Lakevlew Examiner.
There Is such a demand for horses and
mules at the present time that Lake
county stockmen will get rid of large por
tions of their herds this season. It has
been a number of years since there has
b;n a market for horses, and heretofore
fairly good animals on the range have not
been considered worth much more than
"$1 30." While this paper was urging
the horsemen to look after their stock,
and to breed well, an entire herd could
scarcely be sold at a sufficient profit to
pay for gathering, and nobody but agents
for horse-meat-canneries would offer more
than 52 or $3 per head. Nov. stockmen
are getting far better prices for their an
imals than they over expected to get
again. The man who discards the Idea
of raising "scrub" horses and breeds to
good strains is going to make a profit
In the horse and mule Industry for sev
eral years to come. If prosperous times
continue, and there is every indi
cation that they will, men who use horses
are golpg tp continue to turn off their
worn-out animals and purchase young
and actlvo horses.

WOMEN AT THE BALLOT BOX
REASON WHY THEY SHOULD XOT
BE GIVEX THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
Address of the Illinois Association
Opposed to the Extension of
Suffrage to "Woman.
CHICAGO, Jan. 17. The Illinois Asao
'ciation Oppbsed to the Extension of Suf
frage to Women Issued today the fol
lowing address:
in view of the vigorous campaign In
augurated by the advocates, of woman
suffrage In the, middle and far West,
with the Intent and purpose of adding
other states to the four already allowing
full suffrage to women, the Illinois Asso
ciation Opposed to the Extension of Suf
frage to Women begs leave to submit the
following statement to the people of the
Northwest:
At the foundation of all opposition to
woman suffrage lies the basic fact that
nature has denied to women the physical
strength and endurance necessary to en
force the ballot. It Is the consensus of
civilization and science that on this ac
count women should be excused from
jury duty, which is the administration of
the law; military duty, which is the en-
j fbrcoment of the lav, and consequently
from the franchise and legislative duty,
the making of law.
We believe this judgment to be fully In
accord with nature, science and common
sense. This Is the foundation of our op
position. Its capstone Is the equally in
disputable fact that nature has recom
pensed woman for this lack of physical
strength by bestowing upon her a fine
ness of sensibility, a purity of sentiment,
a capability of moral exaltation which fit
her for the highest and most Important
duties that devolve upon mankind. Great
is the power of law, but finer and higher
and farther reaching is the power of love,
and it is as the exponent of this divine,
immortal principle that woman standa
before the world. In her capacity as the
minlstrant of man, holding ever before his
eyes the high ideals of devotion, self
saorlflce and undying affection, as the
priestess of motherhood and its divine
and tender ministries, as the watchful
guardian of infancy and the noble aspira
tion of unfolding youth, we believe her
duties rank far above those of the ordl
nary lawmaker, and restore the balance
otherwise lost by her physical weakness.
And between, these two extremes He num
berless considerations of practical ex
pediency, which contribute to form, as
we believe, an impregnable position as
against woman suffrage.
Furthermore, rights may be equal,
though not ldentica.l. It Is the funda
mental and fatal defect of the theory of
equal politic.il rights for men and wom
en that It ignores those differences of
function which the Creator has made In
separable from the specialization of sex,
Physically speaking, paternity Involvps
no after nor correlative experiences, whi'o
maternity necessarily affects the whole
warp and woof of a woman's being,
phvsicalj mental and moral, for long pe
riods of time: and since a nation Is mori
bund when Its death rate is equal to or
rreatrr than its birth rate, it followp
that Womnn's services to the state are
not the same as man's, though of even
more vital Imnortance. Monogamic mar
riage is the effort of society to constrain
ra?n to bear his just and proper share
in the rearlne: of -citizens, and the at
tempt to shift any mrt of the burden
allcted to him In this arrangement to
the shoulders of the woman, Is a mani
fest and flagrpnt Injustice, against which
we hereby enter our emphatic protest.
In fact, the whole modern movement
to place woman on an Independent basis,
to far as man is concerned. Is, we be
lieve, In spite of some Incidental ad
vantages which have accompanied It a
movement backward, toward the original
Industrial slavery of woman. From this
primitive Condition, our present institu
tlons have been evolved by the slow
processes of human growth. They haTe
not yet reached perfection, but from gen
eration to generation their progress tends
toward purity, self-sacrifice and higher
spiritual attainments. The attempt to
turn the course of progress backward by
confusing the rights and duties of the two
sexes we believe to be on of the greatest
dangers which menace the republic.
We say this in no disparagement of
the many excellent women who have
thought they saw in woman suffrage .a
beneficial enlargement of the sphere and
opportunities of woman. We recognize
the purity of their motives, but we be
lieve they have not thought out to the end
the tendencies and conclusions of the
movement they have espoused.
A man is known by tho company he
keeps: so Is a movement, and strange
indeed have been the political companions
of woman suffrage. Leaving out of the
account as a youthful indiscretion its
early entanglement with the cause of free
love, It Is at present In Utah the tool of
Mormonism, which has already elected a
polygamlst to congress by Its aid. In
the Southwest it has fraternized with
populism. It Is closely allied with the
political fortunes of prohibition, and from
first to last has been, and still is, a neces
sary and structural part of that form of
socialism which seeks the destruction of
all exlstlng.lnstltutions. Not one of these
theories has the sanction of the American
people, not one of them that Is not felt
to be antagonistic to the best good of
the commonwealth. What, then, should
woman suffrage bo looked upon as a re
form, a step in advance in tho march of
civilization? Why should it not be classed
with and treated like Its friends and
allies?
The suffragists claim that the admission
of women to the polls would purify poli
tics, but there are those among their
leaders who openly and boldly announco
that the women's vote will be cast for
whatever party first admits their claim,
without regard to Its Intrinsic principles.
Political trading and jobbery have- seldom
been more open than this. The connip
tion of politics is already bad enough In
many places what will It become when
women are engulfed in it? There are In
stances already on record where their In
fluence as legislators has been used arbi
trarily, and with no regard whatever for
freedom and truthfulness, while there are
many signs that the feiriale "boss" Is al
ready In process of evolution. It Is not
thus that the refinement and high moral
sentiment of a pure womanhood are
brought to bear upon public affairs.
We cordially accept every development
which broadens and harmonizes the life
and character of woman and tends to
ward the accomplishment of tho true end
of her being as the divinely commis
sioned helper and coadjutor of man and
the mother of the race; but we believe
It equally necessary to discriminate
against and discourage those teachings
which tend to degrade her from this her
pre-eminent position, by engaging her in
a competitive struggle with men for civil
and political privileges, thus introducing
rivalry where there should be co-operation,
antagonism where there should be
union, and bringing confusion and dis
cord Into the progressive order of civiliza
tion. In view of these considerations, wo ask
the women of our country who sympa
thize with our cause, but dread the pub
licity of openly advocating it, to lay
aside for a time their natural shrinking
fiom debate, and give an open expression
to their opinion, at least In their own
private circles or bettor, -through organ-'
ized effort. We believe that It Is neces
tary that th voice of true womanhood
should be hoard, and with no uncertain
sound that the men of our beloved coun-
try may certainly know which way our
wishes and our convictions upon this sub
ject tend.
And of men. our brothers, we aslc that
they .will stand by. their manhood, ""with
its strong prerogatives. We beg them to
remember that this 13 npt a mere differ
ence of opinion between opposing factions
of women, but an attempt to change ut
terly the fundamental basis of our gov
ernment. At present, It rests upon the
principle of the family as unit of the i
ecmTWTj sySHSSSFfJ
state. Woman suffrage would make the
individual the unit, to the disparagement
of rthe family relation, and tho advance
ment of the principle of communism in
the family and the state. It is with this
end In view that woman suffrage Is made
a constituent part of that revolutionary
socialism with which all Christendom Is
threatpned. In view of these facts, we
ask the kindly and patriotic co-operation
of .all good citizens in the work of putting
this matter before 'the American people
lnlts true light.

As it has been remarked by some of
Portland's good people, "There is not a
home In the -city for the benefit of girls
or young women before they fall; then
they can go to the Refuge Home."
Let me say for the benefit of thoso that
so believe that there Is a home in the
city of Portland for the benefit of young
girls and women that are without friends,
home or money, where they can go or be
sent, have a comfortable home and find a
friend to advise them, who will also find
them a suitable position.
This Is the work done by the Home
for Unemployed Women, at 305 Third
street, near Clay. The Home. has heen
established nearly five years, and has been
doing good work since that time. About
CO women and girls are befriended monthly
by this Institution. One of the original
plins was to make It an industrial school
for young women, here domestic sci
ence could be taught systematically. Our
means have been limited, and so far we
have been unable to have a special teach
er as we wish to have, but- our matron
has taught tire glrl3 as best she could
during the short time that each has re
mained in the Home, before taking a po
sition. If there is a Christian woman who is
willing to give an evening to tho girls,
reading a paper on economics of the
home, or a short talk on any topic that
would .benefit a young woman just start
ing out to make a living for herself, we
would be very happy to have her send us
her name.
Our new matron, Mrs. Porter, will do all
In her power to teach the girls and make
the Home's influence a lasting benefit to
each- that comes under, thfe shelter bf, its
roof.
We thank those who have always assist
ed us so liberally In the past and hope
that It may be continued In the future,
to the greater benefit of our Home.
