To the Editor:
Fhli1p of Macedon boasted that he carried
more places by money than arms. A mule

armies. He was merchant more than war
rlor Greece ruled by a moneyed
aristocracy. The son and successor of
n'llp was democratic, and somewhat over
turned the institutions of his father
-Aerxes king Of Persia and financial ruler
or the world, with. 100000 men and 1.2OO
sail, invaded Greece, and did not find Alex
ander studying Napoleonic tactics, but en-
Joying the Olympian games and combats,
ana only possessed of 10000 picked men, all
No. atnletes. Some of the No. 2 athletes
ueSerted to the invaders from whom
Aerxes learned that the only crown of re-
ward was honor. What men must they
be! cried one of the Persian mobiles, who
are influenced by honor, and not by
money! Evidently Eerxes was not a
woman suffragst. A woman of singularly
heroic character. Artemisia, queen of Hall
carnassus, from her pure spirit of enter
prise had joined the fleet of Xerxes
with small squadron, which she com
manded in person. The prudence of this
woman's counsel, had it been followed
iliiShl nave saved the PERSIAN monarch the
disaster and disgrace that awaited him.
ohe recommended %erXes to cOnne his op-
eratlons to the attack of the enemy on
iahd; to employ his fleet only in the supply
OF the army. Nerxes and his officers
regarded this as female timidity The
Greek fleet consisted Of 3S) ships The wind
was against the Persians. The Greeks
raised the song of victory and bore down
upon the surprised Persians, sinking and
overwhelming every ship which they
touched. 1t was a regular seaside! The
wind helped the Greeks that time. The
queen fought, with manly courage, to the
last; while \erXes who had beheld the
engagement from eminence on the land,
fled precipitatey. The Greeks, landing
from their ships, attacked the rear of the
Persian army and made dreadful car
mage. Nor did it stop until Alexander
subdued Persia and conquered the world.
We would suppose that woman would help
the other side after that. But some say
She is naturally aristocratic. Is that so?

saying that the Representative treats the
political problems in thorough and skill
full manner.
That we are dissa tisfied with the pluto
cratic rule by the old parties is seen by
the vote at the last election. We are, how
ever, astonishcd by the results of the cleo
ton, but who could dream of such a mis-
cradle scheme as the twin brothers, the
Democratic and Republican parties, made
together? Who can spy the plans of the
fox? His plans are many, but | hope We
shall catch him in the trap after awhile
We found out that he had been lurking
around before the election but we were not
able to catch him on the election day be-
cause there had been too many spies
around beforehan nd to warn him. But in
'& we shall put out all our traps and
shall catch him in November sure

Knute Nelson taught the farmers here
why they We're POOR. they raised too

because farmers had not enough products
