From Federal Hall, Washington went to the neighboring St. Paul’s church to attend divine service?. Artillery roar ed and bells rang throughout the af ternoon and evening. At dusk bon fires and fireworks lighted up the streets and gala balls were held, which continued into the following May day. Today on the steps of the United States Sub-Treasury building, the ex act spot where Washington stood when he took the oath of office, stands his bronze statue, whose legs have been worn shinny by the urchins of Wall street who have tried to climb up to touch the bronze hand of the father of the country. The paint to day is called the monetary nerve cen ter of the country. The trees which shaded the narrow thoroughfare in Washington’s day have all gone, and all about are buildings whose stony monotony towers several hundred feet above the scene. The land where Washington stood sold at $2.75 a square foot at that time; today it is valued at $600 a square foot, and is one of the* most valuable tracts in the world.

CHARGE O’SHAUGHNESSY. Nelson O’Shaughnessy clung to his undesirable position in the city of Mexico in charge of the affairs of the United States until Mr. Huerta informed him that he was persona non grata and hand ed him his passports, which was a polite hint that his presence is no longer desired. Until he assumed the responsibilities of charge d’affairs in Mexico a few months ago, G’Shaughnessy was more famed for his appreciation of the social amenities ana his tact than for any pecu liar diplomatic ability. As a matter of fact, he never had much experience as a diplomatic agent, as his duties at the various lega tions and embassies to which he has been attached since he entered the diplomatic service in 1904 have been more strictly social than otherwise. There is one thing which can be said about O’Shaughnessy, however, on tho word of his superiors, which is that he has risen to the occasion that was thrust upon him by the recall of Ambas sador Henry Lane Wilson, and has carried himself through a dif ficult situation with the utmost tact and without making a single personal enemy. In speaking of O’Shaughnessy, his friends naturally speak of his wife, too. Mrs. O’Shaughnessy is a remarkably handsome woman, with the social instinct just as strongly developed as it is in her husband, and, moreover, she is a woman of great force of character. Everyone says that she has been of great assistance to him in his diplomatic career. O’Shaughnessy was born in New York 37 years ago. He was educated by private tutors and at Georgetown University in Washington and at Oxford University in England. He studied international law in London and languages in various European countries. He was appointed secretary to the legation at Copen hagen in 1904, and was made third secretary at the embassy at Berlin in the following year. In 1907 he was transferred to Vienna as second secretary of the embassy, and in 1911 was sent to Mexico also, as second secretary. It is not generally known, but O’Shaughnessy did not like Mexico. He much preferred the capitals of Europe, and he has several times applied for a transfer, but, of course, when Ambassa dor Henry Lane Wilson was withdrawn and O’Shaughnessy was placed in charge he gave up all thought of going back to Europe and settled down to make the best of a bad situation. Like most of the younger men in the diplomatic corps. O’Shaughnessy has at times felt the strain upon his purse to keep up with the procession, and at the time of his transfer from Vienna to Mexico City he received a good deal of unenviable publicity through the publication of certain unpaid accounts with tailors and other tradesmen in the Austrial capital. The tailor’s bill, which included numerous fancy silk waistcoats and an innumerable num ber of pairs of trousers, was sent to the state department for col lection and thus gained wide circulation. It is understood that he settled in full with his creditors. JUDGE DANIEL BEING URGED Friends of Judge Robert T. Daniel, judge of the Flint circuit, throughout his circuit have been advocating him for governor. The fact that he re fused to consider running if Governor Slaton offered for re-election has re vived the interest of his friends in his candidacy. Judge Daniel has been the presiding judge of the Flint circuit four years, and during his term on the bench has won the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens. If he decides to make the race, the entire Flint circuit will | \ without doubt give him a splendid j NEW ORLEANS COLLEGE HAS YOUNG SUFFRAGE CLUB—AUTHOR .EQUAL SUFFRAGE NEWS ANU COMMENTS vote.

THE HEART OF THE ELK There seems to be a popular opinion that the Elks are merely bunch of convivial fellows whose sole aim in life is in the pur- S^Ruit of n "good time." However, there are those who have reason P^to know and appreciate thoroughly and deeply that the heart of the Elk swells with the milk of human kindness. The Elks do not parade their virtues, which are “written upon the tablets of love and memory," and their untold acts of kindness are held in grateful remembrance by the thousands to whom these have been extended. An incident has just come to light which gives some idea of the tender sympathy of all Elks everywhere. A prominent mem ber of the Athens Lodge of Elks has a daughter who became very ill while on a visit in a distant city, in a section where the people are generally held “cold” by the warm-hearted people of the south. As soon as the illness of this young lady became known b telegram of sympathy was sent her. In addition to this, the secretary of the lodge in the city where the young lady was ill was notified of the fact. Immediately, accompanied by a com mittee, the secretary called at the dwelling where the young lady lay HI, taking with him a splendid floral offering of American Beauty roses, together with the earnest sympathy of the lodge. Needless to say, their presence and the good cheer brought with them brightened the sick room and did mueh towards has tening Iher recovery. When she was well enough to leave for home the’committee called with a limousine and carried her to the depot and bid her bon voyage to her southern home. m" W. M.

A typical instance of the south's awakening to equal suffrage is the sudden growth of the movement at Newcomb College, Tulane University of Louisiana in New Lfrieans. A suffrage club of tlfteen members was formed there last February, and already It has grown to forty. When Jane Addums was in the south this spring she spoke at Tulane, and her address aroused enthusiasm. At uiie meeting of the club Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart, who was the guest of honor, made her first suffrage speech, and wrote the following lines in a copy of her book to be auctioned: “Ef Sis’ Hen could lay and set and hatch, ’Thout being bleeged to forage and scratch, She wouldn’t wink and chuckle so To hear B’rer Rooster strut and crow; And she ain't by herself in that, in that, No, she ain't by herself in that.” When the old high school building of Madison, Wis, had become rickety and a fire trap, the question of appropriating money to build a new one was put to vote. Wisconsin women have school suffrage. One the vote of the men alone, the new building would have been defeated; on a vote of the men and women taken together, it was carried. The same thing has happened in Illinois, New York and many other states. In Nebraska, the state superin tendent of education says it has happened in casc3 “too numerous to men tion.” REID DRUG COMPANY High-class Drugs, Toilet Ar ticles, Soda and Cigars.

Certainly there was no greater demand for the suffrage on the part of unen franchised men a hundred years ago than there is on the part of unenfran chised women today. Women who do not want to vote, if enfranchised, will not be under any greater obligation to do so than are men who do rot want to vote. The indifference of a portion of the women is no more reason for withholding the franchise from the rest than is the indifference of a portion of the men a reason for disfranchising all males. Womsn will have to decide for themselvu whether or not they wish to vote. The duty of mtn is simply to see to it that those women who do wish to vote secure the op portunity without undue toil and trouble. SUFFRAGE STATUS. 1 Full Suffrage for Women.
