WILL HAYS HECKLED BY SUFFRAGISTS FOR FAILURE OF CAUSE

WASHINGTON, May 19. A bevy of 'women suffrage workers, fresh from their unavailing labors to obtain ratification of the suffrage amendment by the Delaware legislature, persistently heckled Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, when he delivered a speech today at a meeting of Republican women of the District of Columbia. The Interruptions, designed to make the chairman explain why the Republican majority at the Delaware capital could not force adoption of the amendment, began as soon as be

rose to speak and kept the assem

blage of several hundred women in

an intermittent uproar until he had

concluded. , "As soon as you have had more experience In practical politics," Mr.

Hays told the first questioner, "you will understand that party officials do not carry legislatures around in their

pockets.

"The Republican convention has

done everything It honorably could to

induce the Delaware legislature to act The only thing left would be for us to go down there and try to buy some votes, and that Is not done any

more in the Republican party. A little later, when he made a plea for Republican support because Republican officials could be counted on to insure good government, another woman rose and shouted: "How can you make such a promise when you can not count on the Republican legislature you already

have in power in Delaware?"

Rigidly barred from Federal office thenceforth throughout the long Jacksonian.era; honorably poor and without a profession; unable to make a living merely by farming, his estate at North Bend, on the Ohio, a little way below Cincinnati, Harrison tried for awhile to eke out an income by running a whisky distillery on his place.

dency is a long stretch, but he took

it at a single step. It is the longest stride forward in the records of politics. Jackson had blazed a new trail to the White House, and Harrison was the second to tread it. In the first 40 years men became President only after serving a regular apprenticeship. Jackson rudely broke that order of succession, and we since have had only three Presidents Van Buren, Buchanan and Taft who had any experience in high executive or diplomatic posts under the Federal Government. The rest have been picked out cf the crowd. At Harrison's inauguration the Presidency entered an eclipse and was held for 20 years by secondary characters, who reigned, but did not rule. With men of the eminence of Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Benton, latterly Cass and Houston, Douglas, and Davis, Chase and Wade, Seward and Sumner in the Senate, distinction and leadership passed from the White House to the Capitol. It was an ignoble period in our politics when lioth parties were dodging the irrepressible issue of slavery, and the

CAPITAL AFRAID OF U. S. CONTROL IN PAPER MILL8T ST. LOUIS, May 19. The attitude which he asserted the government has adopted towards the paper making industry, was blamed primarily for the paper shortage by R. P. Andrews, of Washington, D.

"Wood pulp and raw materials could be had, if we had the mills to make them Into paper," he said, "but capital cannot be induced to invest in paper mills, while they are threatened with government control as soon as their mills are ready to operate.

Elected without a party policy for his guidance, the President was expected by Clay and Webster to accept them as his guides.

After wading through its flowery rhetoric with a pruning knife, the great man was exhausted by his editorial labors and his anxious landlady was moved to

them."

That was the first inaugural, by the by, to be borne to the country by a swifter messenger than the horse.

The railroad sped it so fast that Philadelphia papers astonished their readers by publishing it on the very day of its delivery. In the teeth of a piercing northwest wind, the old farmer President-elect, bareheaded and disdaining the protection of an overcoat, rode horseback to the Capitol. After addressing a great crowd that shivered in its shawls and furs, he insisted, though half frozen, on remounting his horse and leading the inaugural parade to the White House. No sooner was the first Whig Pres

ident in the chair than the claims of faction and the clamor for patronage assailed him. Clay had declined Cabinet honors and labors in the confident expectation of playing the easier and more powerful role of the power behind the throne. The imperious manners of the Great Commoner, wounding' the Presidential i ride, he was requested to make his calls at he White House as Infrequent and inconspicuous as he conveniently could. Thereupon his total absence became embarrassingly conspicuous.. The one clear mandate of the absurd election of 1840 was to turn out the Democrats and give the jobs to the Whigs. Straightway a hungry

horde fell upon Harrison and literally devoured him. In a month to a day he was dead of pneumonia, the first President to die in office throughout the more than 50 years of its exist-

! ence.

This briefest of administrations Is a pathetic little story of a simple, lonely old man, lured from his farm to be the sport of politics. Ailing in body and harried in mind, he was without the care and companionship of his good wife, Anna Symmes Harr'son, daughter of a New Jersey colonel in the Revolution, who became one of the pioneer soldiers of Ohio. Broken by the hard toil of a frontier

household and sorrowing for the loss of eight of her ten children, this wife of one President and grandmother of another, still was making ready to take up her duties as mistress of the White House when the news of her husbands death came to her. The last of our Presidents to have been born before the Revolution, Harrson remains the oldest in the line. At 68 he was too old to bear up under the onslaught of the office seekers, who have twice been the death of a President. For Harrison, no less than

Garfield, must be reckoned a victim of :

the spoils system.

With the actual opening of hostilities between the Americans and the British, the sav. ages became the allies of the British, and the entire future of the great Middle West was at stake. At Harrison's request, Oliver Hazard Perry was sent out to build and fight a squadron of ships. It was to the general that the victorious naval commander dispatched from the Battle of Lake Erie his celebrated message: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." That naval victory was followed up in the Fall with an army victory at the Battle of the Thames, when Harrison drove the allied forces of the foe from the shores as Perry had driven them from the waters of the lake. With only 3.000 men he had carried the war

NO MILLIONAIRE HAS IT ON F. L. STREET WHEN IT COMES TO RELISHING GOOD MEALS

FARGO, N. D., May 19. North Dakota Democrats here today to endorse a state ticket for the June primary. Principal interest centers in the gubernatorial situation.

One of the greatest pleasures in life is to be able to sit down to a well-cooked dinner and be able to enjoy it. In this respect the rich man has no advantage over the poor man. True, he may have a greater variety of foods, but if his digestion is not good, if his stomach is out of order, he cannot relish the foods his riches enable him to obtain. And many a poor man is richer after all than the most bloated bond holder. F. L. Street, 630 North Tenth street, Richmond, says: "Pepgen gave me a good appetite," and when Mr. Street says that, he says what many persons with sorely afflicted stomachs, would

be willing to give their last dollar if they could say the same. If your stomach is upset and your food is causing a bloated, uncomfortable feeling after meals. If you have no appetite and everything that Ls set before you looks and tastes the same. If you eat your meals in a raechanical sort of way. If you never get real, downright hungry, it would be well for you to imitate Mr. Street's example and take Pepgen. Scores say it has given them good appetites, made them stronger and feel better in every way. Pepgen can be obtained from any first class drug store anywhere. Advertisement
