WHY THEY DON'T
IT TO VOTE
Oregon Women File Argument
in Opposition to Suf
frage Burden.
ADVANCE TEW REASONS
Call Attention to Fart That Majority
Vote for Initiative Bill Assures
Success Other Arguments
Filed at Salem Yesterday.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.)
This was the ,last day for filing argu
ments against initiative and referen
dum measures. Arguments were filed
today against the Woman Suffrage
amendment, the compulsory pa3 bill,
the Armory bill, the University appro
priation bill and the Upper "Columbia
fishery bill.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.)
The Oregon State Association opposed
to the extension of suffrage to women
today filed an argument against the
eQual suffrage amendment which will
be voted upon in June. The argument
follows:
Shall I vote to give the ballot to every
woman In Oregon ?
Three tf men that question has come he
fore you. Three times you have answered
"no." Only two years ago you said "no" by
a. majority of H,173 votes, artd yet once
again It Is forced upon you.
Attempt to Steal a March.
After so large and decisive a vote ag-ainst
woman suffrage, the ntate might be sup
posed to have expressed its optnion with
Fufflient force so tha It mipht staid for a
few years as the will of the people, but the
suffragists are once more active. Two years
ago a blatant campaign was waged, sup
ported by thousands of dollars from the Na
tional Suffrage Association and Engineered
by professional agitators from all over the
roiMitry. This time the attack upon the
lmme women of Oregon is being- made in a
different way. As the initiative and refer
endum requires only a majority of thome
voting upou a subject to make it a law the
suffragists are hopeful to steal a march
upon their opponents and so win by stealth
when noise did not avail. But the clamor of
two years ago. the suffragette riots In Eng
land and the recent turbulent performances
in New York are too clear in the minds of
alt to make the present "tactics deceptive
and we who oppose the movement In Ore
gon beg you to vote against it.
We asked you before to represent the
opinions of the women you know and re
spect. Your action justified our belief in
the conservative thoughtfulnejas of Oregon
women We are forced once more to appeal
to you to protect us from this burden which
we believe would be not a benefit but an
affliction both to woman and to the state.
Ten reasons are cited why woman
suffrage should not prevail in Oregon,
as follows:
Ten Objections Cited.
Because suffrage Is to be regarded not as
a privilege to be enjoyed, but as a duty to
be performed.
Because hitherto the women of this state
have enjoyed exemption from this burden
some duty, and no adequate reason hafe been
assigned for depriving them of that im
munity. Because conferring suffrage upon . the
women who claim it would impose suffrage
upon ' the many women who neither, desire
It as a privilege nor regard It their duty to
seek rt.
Because the need of America Is not an
Increased quantity but an improved quality,
of the vote, and there is no adequate reason
to believe that woman's suffrage by doub
ling the vote will improve Its quality.
Because the households not the4lndividual.
Is the unit of the state, and the vast ma
jority of women are represented by house
hold suffrage.
Because the women not so represented
suffer no practical injustice) which giving
the suffrage will remedy.
Becauee equality In character does not
imply similarity in function, and the duties
and life of men and women are divinely
ordered to be different In the state, and In
the home.
Because the energies of women are en
grossed by their present duties and interests,
from which men cannot relieve them, and
it la better for the community thnt they de
vote their energies to the, more efficient per
formance of their present work than divert
them to new fields of activity.
Because political equality will deprive
women of special privileges hitherto accord
ed them by the law.
Because suffrage logically Involves the
holding of public office. Including Jury duty,
and offlce-holdipg is inconsistent with the
duties of most women.
The argument Is signed by the fol
lowing prominent women of the state:
Mrs. R. W. Wilbur, Portland; Mrs. F. M.
Wllklns, Eugene; Miss Eleanor K. Gile,
Portland; Mrs. Thomas Thompson, Pendle

AXSAVKU TO REDDY MEASURE
Portland Municipal Association
Files Arguments.
SALDM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.)-The
Portland Municipal Association has filed
an argument against the "home rule"
constitutional amendment proposed un
der the initiative by Mayor J. F. Reddy,
of Medford. The opponents of the Reddy
measure assert that cities and towns al
ready have 'home rule" under a sec
tion of the constitution and that this
home rule is properly "subject to the
constitution and criminal laws of the
state." The proposed amendment, they
say, would give cities power to counte
nance vice regardless of the criminal
laws of the state, for that qualifying
clause is left out of the amendment. The
Municipal Association argues that the
power of state and county officers to
control and suppress crime under state
laws should be continued. ,

HUSTER'S DECISION UPHELD
Victoria Court ot Appeals Declares
Natal Act Inoperative.
VICTORIA. B. C, Feb. 24. The Court
of Appeals, consisting of Judges Irving,
Morrison and Clement, this afternoon
upheld tlio decision of Chief Justice
Hunter that the "Natal" Act passed by
the British Columbia government was
inoperative as far as Japanese were
concerned, because mf the treaty exist
ing between Japan and Great Britain,
and made -applicable to Canada by a
Dominion Act of Parliament. The
Judges of the appeal court rendered
the decision after hearing the argu
ment of Robert Cassldy, appearing on
behalf of the Province of British Co
lumbia, without calling upon the coun
sel for the Dominion government to
make an argument. Too Judges stated
that reasons for their decision would
be given tomorrow. Mr. Cassidy argued
that the Dominion government not
having the power to make a treaty in
dependently had not the power to sanc
tion the Anglo-Japanese or any treaty,
and anyhow, the act of the Dominion
government approving the .treaty did
not make it substantive law. Mr. Yada,
the Japanese government Consul, fol
lowed the proceedings on behalf of the
Japanese government, and has cabled
the result to Tokio.

U'REfi ENTERS THE
RACE FDR
SENATOR
Announces Candidacy With At
tack on Senator Fulton
' and H. MCake.
PRESENTS, HIS PLATFORM
Federal "Initiative and Referendum,
Direct Election of Senators, Rule
of Majority, Better Harbors
and Reduction In Tariff. "
OREGON CITY, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.)
W. S. U'Ren this afternoon announced
his candidacy for United States Senator,
in the Republican primary, and comes
out strong against Senator Charles W.
Fulton, whom he charges with being un
friendly to Statement No. 1 and with
being allied with Standard Oil and cor
poration adherents. .air. U'Ren also de
clares that H. M. Cake Is a compromiser
who has said that he favors the people's
choice for United States Senator, but
who has remained silent under the at
tacks against Statement No. 1.
Several times during' the last six
months Mr. U'Ren has openly stated that
he would like to be United States Sena
tor, but has refrained from declaring his
candidacy, with the hope that Mr. Cake,
or some other man, would take up the
cudgel in defense of Statement No. 1,
but he has wearied at last of waiting
for Cake to act and has arrived at the
conclusion that Cake Is not aggressive
enough to defend the principles for
Which Senator Bourne and other Statement-No.
-1 men stand.
Waited for Word From Cake.
"Since January 30 last." said Mr.
U'Ren, "Mr. Cake has not opened his
mouth to speak a word in. behalf of the
election of United States Senator by the
people. I waited patiently for two weeks,
hoping that he was getting up his plat
form, but, hearing nothing, I called him
up by telephone and then went to see
him, but the only satisfaction I obtained
was that he was doing considerable in
the way of correspondence in support of
Statement No. 1. You can easily under
stand that this assurance was not
enough.
"I believe I am aggressive fora prin
ciple at stake and I carefully considered
declaring my candidacy for the United
States Senate and talked to some of my
friends about the matter, but most of
them advised me to wait a little; that it
was an expensive proposition and that
Cake might come through with a posi
tive defense of Statement No. 1, but I
have" waited long enough and the time
for aggressiveness is rapidly passing.
Counts on Bourne's Support.
Mr. U'Ren stated that his candidacy is
without the knowledge of Senator Bourne
and that he believed Bourne would sup
port him. He said that he had Anally
made up his mind yesterday to be a can
didate. With J1100 in his purse, he is
prepared to battle for the nomination at
the primaries, standing on 3taterrJent
No. 1.
' Mr. U'Ren Issues a statement to the
people of Oregon, covering the subjects
contained In his interview and continuing
with 15 seperate planks, as follows:

Read This Evidence and Begin
Today to Cure Yourself
With ' Dr. Williams
Pink Pill.
Sclatic' is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheumatic
and is the direct result of taking cold. For
this reason the disease is commonly
known aa "goiatio rheumatism."
Absolute rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment. Rest and Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills 'will cure most cases.
Mrs. Mary M. Etz, of No. 809 1-2 West
Clinton street, Elrnira, N. Y., suffered
for nearly a year and during a great
part of that time her symptoms were
constantly increasing ia seyerity, al
though she was under the care of
a doctor and a nurse. "I bad very weak
heart action, '' she says, "and I believe
that my kidneys became affected.
There were terrible pains ia my back
and limbs and my feet and ankles were
swollen. I had night sweats, and some
times a cold numbness in my limbs.
"My trouble was sciatic rheumatism
complicated with grip and at times I
could not raise my foot two inches from
the floor. The rheumatism grew grad
ually worse as my system was weakened
by the poison the grip had left in my
body. About this time a friend of mine
who lives in Cortland recommended Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I tried them and
was soon relieved. In all I took six
boxes and was cured. One remarkable
thing I noticed about the pills was that
they began to give me strength almost
as soon as I began the treatment. I
shall be glad to nave yon publish this
and I hope the pills will be a blessing
to others as they were to me."
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure
diseases caused by depraved or vitiated
blood. They actually make new blood
and have therefore a direct ami power
ful curative effect on such disease as
rheumatism, anaemia, general debility,
after-effects of the grip, neuralgia, par
tial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance and
locomotor ataxia.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all

l,wiston Man Under Arrest at Sa

. SAIjEM, Or'., Feb. 24. (Special.)-Justice
Webster today continued for farther in
vestigation the case of Ned Bartlett, of
Lewlston, Idaho who ia under arrest on
a charge of kidnaping his 14-year-old
daughter, Jante -Settler, wife of Joseph
Settler. Settler Is a halfbreed Indian,
and it seems that Bartlett wanted his
daughter to leave her husband and in
duced her to do so'while they were in this
Oty. Ho was arrested at Chemawa while
on his way back to Lewiston, accompa
nied by his daughter.
The girl had $395, in certified checks is
sued by the Bank of Nez Perce, Idaho,
most of the checks being for $25 each.
This money. It appears had been provided
by some one to pay the expenses of the
girl at school, and it is charged on both
sides that possession of the money is the
principal cause of controversy.
Bartlett was arrested on complaint of
Settler. The father asserts that Settler Is
wanted in Idaho to answer a criminal
charge preferred by him. Officers here
look upon the case as one properly be
longing to Idaho courts, and riddance of
the parties is desired.

dent Doud and Chairman Whitman unite

didn't tell it all; it's absolutely rotten.
It is a disgrace to Tacoma. Only care

Its stench is sickening and a sight of it
nauseating. The bottom of the reser

As Wong was unable to cash his check at

HUSBAND NOT WORRIED
Doesn't Fear Criminal Action Pro
poses to Fight Divorce Proceed
ings Begun by the Other
Woman AVho Claim9 Him.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 24. (Special.)
Apparently undismayed by the scandal
which has grown out of their marriage,
and by the danger of prosecution which
faces the man, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pur
cell returned to town last night from
Portland, and today were visible to those
of their friends who happened to chance
to encounter the of late widely-advertised
couple. The bride and groom went to
the Tourist Hotel, in which the former
Mrs. A. T.- Van de Vanter owns a half
interest, left her by the late State Sen
ator, her husband.
The couple did not deny interviewers,
and laughed at the published statements
of the marital embroglios of the husband.
Mrs. Purcell admitted, that she was aware
of the existence of each of the women
who in the past has occupied the position
she now holds, but said that she believes
her husband when he declares that the
woman who Is now suing: him for a
divorce has no legal claim to call herself

$30,000 for Improvements to the Capitol
-building and $35,000 for a mansion to
be erected here for the Governor.
The bills provided neither improve
ment could be started until the war
rants had been old at par. Intending
purchasers raised the question that the
United States might attack the validity
of such a debt, being saddled on the
Federal grant.
A test suit was brought by state au
thorities in the local Superior Court,
and the Federal authorities were then
asked to intervene to bring up and dis
pose of the question.
A letter has just been received here
from United States Attorney-General
Bonaparte declaring the warrants ab
solutely valid and not repugnant to
the spirit of the Federal grant. This
letter was filed by the Attorney-General
in the records of the Superior
Court, and the decree sustaining the
validity of the warrants was then en
tered. FIREMAN FALLS TO DEATH
