At the uext general election in Oregon, woman sufferage will again be placed before the people to say whether the want it or not. Advocates of women suffrage say that woman needs a vote to right the wrougs she suffers at the hands of man. Ad a matter of fact, the rights of women are looked after more carefully under the laws ef most states than those of men. Men realize the fact that women as a whoole are less able to take care of themselves . and their property than mea are. Men can, and will, if necessary flzht for their lives and and property. (Vomen cannot, hence. men naturally protect them. This sit uation is extremely distasteful to women suffragists, but angry protests cannot alter facts. In the last fifty years great progress bas been made in the condition of women in this country as regards education and opportunity of employment and the en joyment of life. This condition, how ever, has not been due to the agitation fjr womea suffrage, as its advocates would haye you believe. The states where women have made the most -pro gress are those in which wo men suffrage bills have beei most steadily and de cisively defeated. There has been but slight improvement, if any, in the laws of the states where women vote, due altogether to the fact of that vote. If the suffrage movement were .to disband today and no woman ever vote, not a single great interest would suffer. Oa the other hand were woman's suffrage granted in Oregon, it would set the state back for mauy years. 44. All kinds of cord wood for sale, Call P. A.

Entire Stock of Fine Pianosland Organs to Bs Closed Out. Sale Now On- Owing to the unreasonable demands of a frenzied landlord, Eilers Piano House has reluctantly decided lo abandon the retail piano and organ business in Portland. Continuance would mean the payment of practically the entire earnings of oar retail business for rent, nor would it even then secure the urgently needed alterations and repairs that the growth of our business has made neces sary. The owners arrogantly refuse to make them, and we cannot afford to undertake them for the reason they will not enter into a lease except from month to month. Thus it is that Eilera Piano House is compelled to retire from the retail field, and as possession of the premises is to be delivered np on May 31 next, the entire stock of goods, the finest, most exten sive and most complete in the United States mast be disposed of before that date.
