It has become very evident since
mm on the adage amend
. meat on March 3 and 4, that the real
monition is not that from the little
map of leisured and comfortable wo-
to» who are organized in the use»
elation opposed to Woman Suffrage. if
that were the whole opposition, or ev~
at the chief opposition, it is incon-
ceivable that the Legislature should
have even the slightest hesitation in
passing the resolution to submit the
suffrage amendment to the voters.
The relative strength of the Suffrage "
”Mutilation and this openly organized g
opposition is too disproportionate to‘
Illow any doubt of success for the
luflmgists. There is however a strong
and powerful opposition working in
secret, hiding itself behind the ladies
who probably know nothing of its ex—
‘istance and are ready to deny an al-
liance of which no one accuses them.
The real opposition is the liquor led
by which Is always at work, always
active and alert and which never,
' leeks money to carry on its fight a~
gamut the votes for women.
It was hardly to be expected that
.Suffragists in Connecticut would es~
ape attack by this nation wide oppO-
sition. In every state where there has
been a campaign for woman suffrage,
the strongest opponents have been the
liquor men. in Wisconsin and Ohio the
liquor men were successful in their
' light, and the trade journals of the
liquor men rejoiced openly in this suc-
cess. in Montana the “National For
am," a liquor trade journal published
at Butte, worked unremittingly from
the time the amendment was intro-
duced in the Legislature until the
vote was cast to defeat woman suf-
frage. it urged the brewers and the
saloon men to get together and de
feat woman suffrage. ‘lII it carries".
read an editorial in the issue for Ap-
ril .1913, “the saloons and breweries
are doomed. The blame will be at the
door of the saloon man and brewer.
It will not be a case of homicide, but
it will be a clear case of suicide. To-
uthar we assist, and by united effort
woman suffrage can be detected, but
divided, the saloons and breweries of
Montana will be matters of history in
i few years,
The May number reprinted an art-
icle of Mrs. Dodge's—tho President of
the National Association Opposed to
I ' \ WOman Suffragemwhich criticized the
.auII’rage parade in Washington of
March 3rd, 1913, calling it a sex ap-
peal. This issue contained a large a-
mount of anti-suffrage matter, and co
pedaliy an appeal to liquor dealers
which was headed “What are You Do-
ing, Mr. Dealer?" This article contin-
uedt—“Who is going to oppose wo-
man suffrage in Montalna if you don't.
It is up to you to light this question
at the next election. Woman Suffrage
will affect your business more directly
than it will any other business, and
you will have to take a lead In the
fight. The woman suffrage advocates
have said that your business will have
[given to the women of Montana. This
we believe is true."
‘ This is only a small sample of the
,way in which the liquor trade journal
of Montana opposed woman suffrage.
The men in this trade oppose votes
for women because they consider that
, it is a bread and butter question with
‘2 them. The women of the Association
"opposed to Woman Suffrage have an-
nounced that they do not wish the
help of the liquor dealers, and tllatf
,ihey have asked them not to inter
’ vene in suifrage lights. it is likely that
such appeals will be of any avail when
. the liquor men feel that their trade is
imperilled by the coming of woman
suffrage? The question is far more vi-
tal to them than it is to the women

'V from getting political power. ‘lf eith-
7 er section of the“ opposition-could be
:induced to stay out of the field, it
would be the Anti-women and certain-
‘ uly not the liquor trade. Whether Mrs.
Markham and her association like it
or not, they are fighting woman suf-
frage side by side with the liquor men,
. and whether they know it or not—and
probably they do not know it——the li-
vquor- men are using the Anti-suffra-
gists as a screen for their activities
.and are fighting the Suffragists from
, behind the skirts of the Anti-ladies.
’ The liquor men are'right. No other
trade will be hurt by woman suffrage.
"the liquor trade is wiped out by the
_-votes of the women there is all the
‘.mom money to spend on bread and
, butler, mlllk and beef, on dry goods
_ and on rent for decent homes for the

Rhoda island—Business among the
oyster-men at Warren continues to be
very light and there is no hope for
improvement during the remainder oi
this season. Some of the oyster grow-
ers are talking of importing oysters
from Chesapeake Bay, where they are
reported as being very cheap at this
time. The only question is, will they
live? At this time the price of the sys-
ters is so low that it is felt that here
would be a fair chance of making a lit-
tle money. While most of the oyster
growers and shippers are optimistic
as to the future. some few feel that it
will require a good deal more than

l hence the secrecy as to the name.
! Connecticutr—Four areas of oyster
, beds oi! Norwalh, and another off New
lilaven. on which there was a very
good "set" last season, are now barren
' of seed oysters and there is nothing to
lindicafo Just what has killed off the
stock. An inspection of the beds last
fall showed that they were abundantly
{supplied with a “set." An inspection
;a week ago showed that the destruc-
tion of the young oysters was not due
Ito “stars" or drills. it is likely that
; the death of the young oysters is due
lto some local conditions which ought
to be investigated. Unless the oyster~
men get a move on it is not likely that
anything will be done in the case.
R. J. George Oliver, general mana-
ger and comptroller of the :Steveus
Oyster Company. of New Haven, was
met hurrying for a train for New York
last Tuesday morning. in reply to a
question, he said. that his company
was doing a very fair amount of busi-
ness considering the season and bush
ness conditions. Mr. Oliver is an ar-
dent believer iu the artificial propaga-
tion of oysters, for in it he sees the so-
lution of the problem which has for
years confronted oystermen--~n differ-
ent seed supply. ’
Natural growth oystermen are work-
ing like beavers to prevent the [lass-
oge of the bill which provides for the
taking ovcr by the State of the 5,000
acres of natural rocks, from which
{many oystermcn at Bridgeport. Nor-
walk and Stamford make a living by
taking seed oysters during the sea-
son. and selling some to the big oyster
growing companies. A petition drawn
by the natural rock oystermen and
signed by many Influential citizens of
the State which has been presented to
the Legislature with a view of killing
, the measure. The petition follows:
I “We, the subscribers, being citizens
of the State of Connecticut. and desi-
rous of having all the public rights and
privileges in the various pieces of not-
1 ural oyster, clam and mussel beds or
l grounds, located throughout the water
i of this State properly respected and
' protected by the law. as It now stands,
ldo hereby respectfully petition your
lhonorable body to use all of its just
i powers and lawful authority in opposi;
tion to any and all bills, resolutions,
proposed law and legislation, and any
and all amendments and substitutes
thereof. having for their object and
purpose the leasing .and designation,
and the validating of any such lease or
designation heretofore made, to any
person, firm or’ corporation, by the
shellfish Commission, or any other de-
signated authority, of any part of the
said natural oyster, clam or mussel
beds located in the waters of this
State. ‘ ,
“We, are opposed to any legislation

the rights and privileges of the public

chief masons, viz: ‘ ‘

Maryland..——0wing to the dulness of
business at Chance this season, all the
oystermeu have returned home.
Word comes from Kent that the oys-
ter business has never been so bad as
during the present season. Oysters
are remarkably low in price, those
having stock on the beds asking so lit-
tle money for it that It is merely a
use of giving it away. Many of the
oystermcn say that they have lost
heavily during the present season.

it is reported that the oyster pack‘

of them are cutting out for the season.
Georgiaréln an interview at Savan-
nah on March 5, Hon. W. O. Thomal.
of Sudlersvillc, Md, now serving his
third term in the Legislature of that
State, advised Georgiana to secure logs
islation giving better protection to the
oyster beds of the State If they would
enjoy a plentiful supply of line oysters
in the future.
Mr. Thomas comes from that part of
Maryland known as the Eastern Shore,
the very heart of the famous Chesa-
peake Buy oyster beds, and has been
very active in the Maryland General
Assembly for the conservation of these
beds. in motoring through Georgia be
noted at Thunderbolt and the Isle of
Hope evidences of a great waste of
young oysters which should have been
put back into the beds.
“it is a great mistake that they are
not. better conserved," said Mr. Thom-
as. “Frequently, the people do not
realivc this until it is too late and the
beds are depleted."

TO REDUCE FIRE RISK.
Proposed Law Would Make Negligent
Ones Responsible.
A bill now pending in the general
assembly is designed to reduce fire
risk in the state by putting the re-
sponsibility of fires caused by neglect
up to the neglectful individual. The
bill in question provides that when
a fire results from the“ failure to com
ply with any law, ordinance or lawful
regulation or requirement of state or
municipal authority the negligent perL
son, persons or corporation shall be
liable for all damage caused by such
non-compliance and also for any ex-
pense incurred in putting out the fire.
A second section would give adjacent
property owners the right to bring an
action for damages if any loss was
sustained if their own premises
caught lire from a blaze that had
started because of such Soon-compli-
ance with proper legal requirements.
. There was much discussion in the
common councila. year or two ago
over reports received ,monthly from
the tire marshal containinggllsts of
places in the buslnesa section that
had been found in dangerous solidi!
tion by reason of accumulations of
papers, boxes orrubbish. There was
a great deal of talk at the time about
causing arrests for continued neglect
to place yards and cellars in safe con-
dition, but eventually the whole mat.
ter dropped out of sight. it .is said
that conditions are much better than
they were at one time, but there is
still abundant opportunity for fur-
ther improvement. if the proposed
bill becomes a law it may help along.

8:10 a. m., and two hours elapsed be-
fore it was brought under control and

The fire was attributed to a short

workman who drove his drill into a
