Jj LE C/ILMIRIT^X
PROPOS of all the present talk
.:[ about woman suffrage, let us take
' ,;/ # a glance at the inhabitants of a
jl small village in Switzerland, or,
more accurately, the dwellers on
r "' QM CL 'be mountain slopes about Cham
jflkvlT> pery, In the canton of Valais,
j jrffl-i' that sequestered und charming
m hamlet which lies contentedly at
jp» til ' r fl Wj the feet of its famous neighbor,
the Dent du Midi.
There the sturdy peasant worn-
CSiti en liavi' solved the "equal
jaaiana' right ;" matter to their own sutl>
faction. Votes were never a fac
tor In the question, but trousers were, and have be< n
calmly appropriated for their own use; so it is as
man's equal In freedom of movement and attire, at
least, that the feminine half of the community tend
their herds, cut hay on th" almost perpendicular hill
sides, and clamber up and down the stony and tor
tuous paths leading to th«'ir mountain homes
If Ameri< ans uiu as yet in almost total Ignorance
of tuls little sj>ot t successfully hidden for years at
the extreme end of the lovely Val d'lllb'i, It Is by

from an all-day climb, their arms filled with Al

beauty and variety, delicate orchid-like blossoms
that might have been hot house grown mixing

Tillage lies th< newly restored pa-ish church, with
Its unique and ancient crown-capped bell-towor,

Lively Interest in Everything American
The White Company Receives Unique Compliment
for the Sturdy Reliability of Its Steam Car
From Mr. Roosevelt and Family
Theodore Roosevelt and Party In White Steamer.)
After fifteen months absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Rai
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June 18, at 11 a. m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr. Roose
velt absolutely refused, as hereto!ore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques
tions showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.
If the welcome tendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base a "re
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep
tion-parade, nor in the wildly clamor
ous crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day in New
York wo-o irnny, but none
belter illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought, back to us, than the discard
ing of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles.

Cost of Spontaneity.
"I want the office, of course," said
ihe aspiring statesman, "but not un
less I am the people's choice."
"We can fix that, too," said his cam
paign manager; "only you know it's
a good deal more expensive to be the
people's choice than it is togo in as
the compromise candidate."

immediate party landed, they v/ere
whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner of
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed bis
preference for the motor car in gen
eral and the While cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred Irom their car
riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take a spe
cial train to the ex-President's home
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and a group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in a White Gasoline Truck to a
clambake at the Travers island club
house of the New York Athletic Club.
