THE DISPATCH-DEMOCRATCITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPERJ. B. SANFORDSubscription rate, per year$2.50IIKIAH, CALIFORNIA. FRIDAY, AUG. 4. 1911A Number of Thingsexperiment is therefore too great to he assumed at this time when vital questions like that of labor . and capital are so unsettled. Women’s emotionalism and “nerves” are not of a nature to be helpful in settling questions of this sort. If the experiment were not successful it would be a far reaching catastrophe.“Men have said, laughingly—men who half heartedly favor suffrage ,‘Oh well, if it doesn’t work well,, we can take it back.’ Can they? I have lived many years; my life has been neither sheltered nor “easy ” 1 have been in business more than twenty five years. In all that time, there has never been one minute when the ballot could haveWhen the “Dick-Dick” letter about Controller bay was first made pub lie, the assurance was widely published as coming from the White House that helPed me over H hard Place or cou,d the president did not know Ryan and had never talked to him. Now, after have S'ven me any consideration that consideration and refreshment of the memory, the president finds that he did have a long talk with Ryan about that particular matter. When the “Dick-was not accorded to me without it Finally, a large majority of womenDick” letter first attained publicity, the president was unable to recollect j not want the ballot; they do notbelieve in its righteousness or its efficacy. This is hard to prove because so many of them refuse to say so above their breath or to one who differs from them. If they find them-ever talking with Charles P. Taft about Controller bay and the desirability of giving it to Ryan. On that point we will wait and see whether the executive recollection may be changed, as further evidence develops about this conversation.When the Lorimer scandal brought Edward Hines to the witness stand to tell of the midnight conference at the White House, as a result of which he I se'ves on the October with thewas sent to tell the Illinois leaders that the president was willing to have Lorimer elected, the president denied it. But now comes Governor Deneen, testifying that when Secietary Mac Veagh asked him how Lorimer’s election happened, he (Deneen) replied. “Ask the president; he was the man who is said to have sent the message that did it.”When the army was sent to the Mexican border, assurance was issued by the administration that the troops were sent merely for maneuvers. A few days later, Mexico, having become much wrought up over the operation the administration admitted the real purpose of sending the troops. It was not maneuvers, but to patrol the Mexican frontier.When the Balinger-Pinchot investigation was on, there was strenuous denial that a certain much-wanted paper existed. Later it was produced, and there was demonstration that the records in that case had been stuffed, fixed and padded with a manufactured and predated document, in order to provide justification for an act of the president.When Mr. Taft was a candidate for president he pledged himself to downward revision of the tariff. Despite this, he signed the Payne-Aldrich act.Soon aft^r he was elected, the president inspired a stream of assurances that he was, going to make a great fight to defeat Gannon’s re-election as speaker. But when the fight came on, when many members had lined up against Cannon, expecting the president would be with them—then the president turned out the hottest Oannonite of them all. Because a lot of republicans did fight Cannon, the president withdrew their patronage in the effort toballot in their hands , one can only say—or refrain from saying—it serves you right. .However, 1 have too much faith in the wisdom and judgement of the men of California, to fear that the burden f of the ballot will be thrust upon the women of the state, at the request of a small majority of them.”LOOKINGImportant Happenings in Mendocino County and Ukiah City 25 and 15 Years AgoAugust 6,destroy them.

The Canadian reciprocity measure was handed out to the country as a measure ca)ci|lat:ed to reduce the cost of living. Later, the president found that it could iot be expected to reduce the qost of living.Two yeajs ago the president and his attorney general got up the original draft of the fiiann railroad bill, and the administration insisted that it must be passed exactly as written. The progressives demonstrated that if this was done it would practically undo all that had ever been accomplished in the direction of railroad regulation. In*the face of the bitter opposition of the administration they forced the bill co be reorganized into a progressive, instead of antutterly reactionary, measure. The president, however, was still powerful enopgh to induce Congress to retain his provision for a commerce court. And,-alter he had appointed this court, its first important act was to enjoin the interstate commerce commission against enforcing an order that would have stopped railroad favors to the sugar trust that have been worth millidns to the trust.President Roosevelt withdrew from entry the shore line lands around Controller bay, so that they might not be seized by an interest in behalf of an attempt;to monopolize Alaska coal. President Taft restored ihese lands to the privilege of entry by an unusual and almost unprecedented procedure, in sutlj manner (jhat a long time, lobbyist for the Guggenheims was able to grab them. JPresident Taft repeatedly assured the nation that its interests in Alaska were safe iri the hands of Ballinger. Then when public indignation against the Ballinger program was too powerful to be resisted, he reversed that policy and had the Cunningham claims cancelled.These things seem to warrant demand that Defore long an explanationher 1stC.

Caswell, President of the Southern California Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage,in answer to a recent query at to why she opposed woman suffrage, replied:“I believe women in genearl to be fully the equal of men in general. Who doesn’t? But women can not have both their rights and their privileges and I believe, we are infinitely better off with our privileges than we could ever be with our rights. I mean better off, nut selfishly or weakly, but politically.if you will; as working women,business women--women as a whole. Above aU, I am convinced that working women have nothing to gain by the ballot and much to lose. Their vote will not be “independent” after one or two elections. Their wages cannot be affected. If .they can, why are the salaries of school teachers lower in Colorado than eleswhere, after all these years of women’s voting?If suffragists would give to the changing of unjust laws, even one tenth of the time and effort and energy that they are giving to getting the ballot for themselves, these laws would be changed by men. I suppose the wildest suffragist deos not believe that men in California are determined to trample upon women and children and their rights’I believe it to be a great mistake for women to be vociferously busy with what Elizabeth Pennell calls “making a new fashioned wrong out of the old fashioned right to be protected,” from many things.I beiieve that the power of the ballot in the hands of the women is enormously exaggerated.
