Now I know what I did not know before — that you have a brilliant history. But, my dear friend.

JURDEN OUR PUBLIC FORUM ~ Hon. Elihu Root tOn Woman’s Sphere The question of Woman Suffrage is an issue before the American people. Twelve states have adopted it, four more states vote upon it this fall and it is strongly urged that it become a platform demand of the national political parties. It is therefore the privilege and the duty of every voter to study carefully this subject. Hon. Elihu Root, in discussing this question before the constitutional convention of New York, recently said in part: “I am opposed to the granting ot suffrage to women, because I believe that it would be a loss to women, to all women and to every woman; and because I believe it would be an injury to the state, and to every man and every woman in the state. It would be useless to argue this if the right of suffrage were a natural right. If it were a natural right, then women should have it though the heavens fall. But if there be any one thing settled in the long discussion of this subject, it is that suffrage is not a natural right, but is simply a means of government, and the sole question to be discussed is whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be better government than by the suffrage of men alone. “Into my judgment, sir, there enters no element of the inferiority of woman. It is not that woman is inferior to man, but it is that woman is different from man; that in the distribution of powers, of capacities, of quali ties, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of certain func tions in the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to the ! performance of other functions. “Woman rules today by the sweet and noble influences of her character. Put woman into the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless for strife, weapons with which she is unfamiliar and which she is unable to wield. Woman In strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to whom we confess submission, fas the heaven is removed from the earth. “The whole science of government is the science of protecting life ana liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the divine distribution of powers, the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It is so throughout nature. It is so with men, and I, for one, will never consent to part with the divine right of protecting my wife, my daughter the women 1 I°ve and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of m f n ’ that high duty in the weak and nerveless hands of those designed by God to be protected rather than to engage in the stern warfare of government. In my judgment, this whole movement arises from a false conception of the dUty -Sem‘%TL°L b ™me“h" d t™"!i e ne of demarcation between the ton Jon, of the two win be broken down. I believe I II: o 1 losophy; I believe that it is an attempt to turn backward upon the line ol social development, and that if the step ever be taken, we> go ward on the march towards a higher, nobler and purer civilization, which m t be found not In the confusion, but in the higher differentiation of the sexes. PETER WEHRLEY MURDERED. (Continued from page seven) the house by the back door, which he again bolted. He iiad then remained in the sit ting room until he heard the return of the automobile containing his par ents and uncle, when he had slipped upstairs and hidden under the bed of liis parents. As nearly as lie could determine this was about 9 o’clock. He heard the party talking and laughing, but did not know his uncle John was in the party, nor could he distinguish all that was said. He was still under the bed when his mother came to the room to retire, and he says that when he saw her kneel in prayer at the side of the bed, had it been possible for him to have gotten away without de tection, he would have made his es cape. Shortly after the other mem bers of the family retired and then his father came to the room and went to bed. He lay there for a long time waiting for his father to go to sleep and endeavoring to nerve himself to the job he had undertaken. About one o’clock lie crawled from under the bed from the side upon which his father was sleeping, and says that in doing so his father was aroused and sat up in bed and then lie pointed the gun at him and shot. He then ran down stairs, unbolted the back door, made his escape to the alley in the rear and ran east as far as tlie St. Paul railroad tracks, run ning as fast as he could, and continu ing his flight south as far as the new street that connects with the roadway crossing Strollers bridge; that he had run down this street as far as the river and had then thrown the revol ver as far out into the river as possible. He had then followed the North- Western tracks as far as Fourth street on the fiat, and had taken Fourth street up the hill and gone then to his room. At some places in his confession his statements do not tally with the case as outlined by the police, but this discrepancy may in a measure be due to the fact that Alfred was too excit ed to remember all the details cor rectly. It is not thought that the shooting took place from the rear of the bed, the course of the bullet indicating to the contrary, nor is it likely that one contemplating a quick get away, would have taken greater chances than necessary and have made it nec essary for himself to run around two sides of the bed through a narrow passage. The police discredit his stor}- of having thrown the revolver in the river. They are reasonably certain that lie did not go as far south as lie claimed to have gone, and they feel that lie secreted the revolver some where where if he regained his lib erty lie might have access to it. One of the Milwaukee private de tective agencies, in the hope of secur ing a little free advertising, appar ently resorted to the same dodge tried by the same agency on a former oc casion. and had inspired reports printed in the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, setting forth the fact that the arrest had been made by one of their men and the confession secured by him. The facts of the matter are that this agency had no man on this job; that the case was worked up by Chief Malone, Detective Henry Schwister, District Attorney Gorman, Patrolman Martin and the other local police officers. The confession was secured by John Welirley, the uncle, repeated in the presence of Chief Malone and then w ritten out by Al fred in the presence of these two and the district attorney. GOLF NOTES.
