( Odds and Ends
K Where tho hearth tiling becomes
plained, and water will not affect the
Btain, try rubbing with a flannel cloth
soaked with turpentine; after this,
ipolish with a dry cloth.
Where plastered wails have been
painted, and blackened with smoke,
wash with two parts warm wrater and
bno part milk, soaping as usual the
'cloth wrung out of the milky water.
A'fter cleaning, rinse with clear wa
ter, by sponging it off.
In regard to damp walls: If a waU
!bd damp and the paper is loose or
tained, got a piece 61 twill sheeting
.and paste well; then, stick smoothly
on the wall, smoothing It down so
no "blisters" will show. Let this
jdry, and then paper as you. would the
Avail, and tho paper will dry like
icardboard. This is much better than
fusing pitch, or tar paper. Mrs, ID. L.
Goinif over the walls with shellac
7;;irrnish, giving several coats, lotting
leach dry before applying another, is
iaiso claimed to prevent the wall
fet!aining the paper, which should be
ttfiplied to tho varnished wall when
tar.

VOL. 15, NO. 2
THE SUFFRAGE VOTE
What seems to have been a fore
gone conclusion was recorded yester
day in the house when, the constitu
tional amendment proposing nation
wide woman's suffrage was rejected
by a voto of 174 to 204. Not only
did tho resolution fail to command
the two-thirds necessary for passage,
but it fell short of a majority of tho
vote cast by sixteen,p and was forty
one less than a majority of the full
house. This result 'was generally an
ticipated, save that a larger percent
age of the house was expected to fa
vdr tho amendment. The vote, there
fore, is not a surprise, except in the
emphasis with which the house re
jected the proposition to admit wo
men to tho franchise in all the states.
It can not be said that this action
by the house is a setback for the suf
frage cause. In one respect it is an
assistance, for it demonstrates the fu
tility for the present of seeking suf
frage by constitutional amendment,
and will permit and encourage the
concentration of effort on the part of
the suffragists upon the various states
which have not yet admitted women
to the vote. Undoubtedly some
ground has been lost during the past
two years through the fruitless ef
fort to secure congressional action
while so much work remained to be
done in the states.
Woman suffrage is a progressing
cause and its ultimate success
throughout the country is not doubt
ed. Unless there is a decided change
in congressional sentiment in the
near future the developments must
be accomplished through the adoption
of state constitutional amendments.
Yet every state that is added to the
list will strengthen the support of the
federal amendment in congress. It
is expected that during the next two
years several states ivill be added to
the list. In the south particularly the
field is open and the women are ac
tively at work these making converts
to their cause.
Friends of the equal suffrage prin
ciple should not be downcast by yes
terday's action in the house. Wash

THE PRESIDENT'S JACKSON DAY
SPEECH
President Wilsonte Jackson day
speech at Indianapolis has the true
democratic ring, and it will have no
small bearing on shaping the lines on
which the party is to make its contest
for retention of power in the cam
paign of next year. A splendid char
isteristic of the speech is its aggres
siveness. The president gives assur
ance that he does not want to serve
any party any longer than it serves
the needs of the country, and he la
ju3ti(ied in entertaining the belief
that a great majority of the people
are with him in his efforts to provide
these needs.
Those who look on usually think
they can do the work better than the
person performing it, but no one
whose sense of fair play outweighs
partisan prejudice will deny that the
president in his administration of
public affairs, has not at all times
been guided by lofty and patriotic mo
tives and that his one desire has been
to do thosethincs which shall bring
I the greatest good to the greatest
number. Pittsburgh Post.
