In the dim and forgotten past, in the

IRRIGATION IN TIE UPPER AR
KANSAS VALLEY.

From the Garden City sentinel.
The attention of every newspaper that
desires the welfare of southwest Kansas
is respectfully called to an article pub
lished elsewhere is this issue under the
head, "Our Present, Pressing Needs.
There is not a publisher III one of the
twenty counties comprising what IS
latterly denominated southwestern Kan
sas, but should give the article the most
careful consideration and present the
facts therein contained TO his readers.
No matter how much land there may be
in any of these counties that can be sue
CessfulIy farmed without irrigation,
there is more in each and every one that
would at least be greatly benefited by
an artesian water supply. 1t is matter
which concerns not only the counties
of Ness and Greeley and Clark
and Morton and all the coun-
ties between. but 1t concerns indirectly
every county in the state ana every
farmer, every business man in the state.
Hence we hone that not only will the
matter be presented TO the readers Of all
papers in southwest Kansas aud south
east Colorado. but that the eastern press
will also be ready 70 assist Us IN our
struggle for the recognition our Just
rights-a struggle which we must make,
and that, too, at this time whether We
would or 10. Longer delay will not pre-
vent tho development OF the upper Ar
kansas valley, but it will make it impos-
sible for the vast majority OF the present
population TO enjoy the fruits. Plans Of
action will be submitted later. Mean
while we shall be glad tn receive al
suggestions and criticism, pro and con,
that may be offered.

DREAD TO SLEEP WITH SUCH AW-
Full WOMEN.

Some of the greatest statesmen and
statiscians of the world are predicting
that by the year 1900 the United States
will have population of from SOC, 0OO,-
000 to GOO. 600, 600. But in making these
estimates it is very evident that the pos
sible disastrous results of the wives OF
America deserving their homes and
babies for the hustings and the political
platform. were not duly considered. In
stead of the millions of happy, happy
homes, with their pretty, easy rocking
cradles and their innocent occupants,
there might be only a monkey-and-a
poll-parrot of time, with half billion
of fat breasted, square-shoulderedh hump
backed female tramps making 1t hot for
the other half billion of petered-out,
scrawny, Weakened, would-be pro-
genitors of busted race, their whole
enfeebied existence rendered miserable
hv the nighthorse that in the end they
would be compelled 10 sleep in the same
graveyard with these awful women.

HOMAGE TO WOMEN.

Moncure D. Conway a champion OF
universal suffrage, lately admits that
''The refusal of political suffrage to wo-
men, instead of a stigma on the sex, is
really an homage to their honor"
The EAGLE has held to that tenant
right along. 1t is not that man would
deny woman any right, but that he
would protect her from the wrong; not
that he would refuse her good but that
he would shield her from bad.
We do not believe that suffrage would
hurt the great majority of the women
who are bowling for it, but that it would
inevitably pull womankind down to the
level of such howlers, if not to the lower
level of man himself. From this the
great majority of pure, loving women
shrink, for undoubtedly the
great majority of the wives,
mothers and daughters of
our land are unalterably repugnant to
the whole public-life business for women,
Ii it were not so the suffrage, with all
its entailments of corruption and filth.
would probably not be withheld for,
whatever woman wants that man will
not deny.
This talk of women purifying politics
of the filth and corruption alluded to, Is
a proposition SO often exploded that it
remains but gag. The more llmpld
and crystal the pool the less il takes to
cloud it. while no amount of pure water
can render mud hole anything
but a mud hole. Men not only,
but women themselves, will haye to
be convinced that active politics would
not degrade woman. That cannot be
done under any government yet devised
by man in which a vote becomes thing
of barter in any sense. The thing, what
ever it may be, which seems to sus-
piciously touch or which threatens to
contaminate the exalted purity or the
high notions of right as held by woman,
will meet with the opposition of man.
The man lost to all honor, no stronger
than he who is but the least of his fell
lows removed from the brute, believes in
womans superior purity and more noble

brute force any agent which threatens
to contaminate such purity, or with his
life even imputations against such
purity.
1t is said that this is ''the woman's
country" Truly it is. No other country
of this or of any other age, SO revered
woman as woman, whether on the street,
in the market place or in the home, as
does this. The impure woman is esti-
mated and held lower by the American
man than is the desoluie by the men of
any other country, yet it is especially
true that true womanhood, wifehood
and virtue are honored i'll this country
with an honor which is above that Of
other countries, and distinctive.
We are for the woman and against the
female and her suffrage.
