AN ADVOCATE FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

When we read the opinion of "Our farmers wife" on woman suffrage, we could but smile at her conclusion, that it must be only ''old maids, disappointed, and weak minded women, who go on, in this ridiculous fashion about suffrage.' r Instantly our minds reflected on the brilliant intellect of such women as Frances E. Willard, Mrs Mary A. Liver more, Judith Ellen Foster, (than whom the world knows no larger minds even among mem and many others for which there is not space to mention here, all advocates of this ridiculous" doctrine. In fact we believe it is we'll accepted truism, that 1t is only women of super for intelligence and education who champion this reform. To be sure some of them might be styled "old maids," but even that is not so bad as is the case with many, many women, who have not been so happy in their choice of life partner as our good "farmers' wife" seems to have been. Nor, do we believe that the majority of woman suffragists, regard that grand man, Paul, as an told fogy." So far from that we be- lleve that all his teachings are accepted, and the time is looked for when there shall be ''neither male nor female, but all one In Christ Jesus."
 No doubt If the average man had fol- lowed this same Paul's advice, ''Do thy self no harm,n the vote of woman, on the great vital questions of the day would not have been so essential; but the bald fact Is that great majority of the men, when whom God has made in his image, are smoking and drinking away the intellect entrusted to them. But aside from this we see no reason why woman Is not the equal of the man, mentally, morally, and spiritually and we do not think that physical lnferiority would interfere with the casting of an

LET THE NEW ENGLAND MANAGERS WAKE
 UP.

It Is a burning shame that the New York and New England railroad does not put on morning train east to Waterbury and an evening train west. Now people cannot go over the same day and get back. Waterbury people are indignant over this matter, and rightly so. It Is an everlasting dis grace to the road. If the road is not go- ing to be run to accommodate the pub lie, the sooner it is fenced in and closed up, the better. We advise the mana gers to shake the hay seed out of their hair, and come up this way and see how the public feel. Of course, the railroad people would say such train has not paid, but this has not been demonstrated If the Consolidated people owned this property we venture to say there would be new deal inside of 24 hours. They run their trains to accommodate the pub llC' II Juc NcW ILlS Iduu lolhS dlC so hard up that they cannot run but two trains each way, for goodness sake let them send one train over early in the morning and another at night, and repeat the same program for the west bound trains. As things are now, the road car never expect any returns from it's pas sengcr traffic from this end of the road If they don't remedy this evil the .Legis lature should, and very likely will, bt called on the coming session to take mat ters in hand. The public won't stand this imposition forever. Let the New England managers wake up!

But we do believe the day is not far distant when the purity of woman will be felt in political life, and that many reforms the good true men of to-day, would be glad to bring about may be accomplished through the votes of ''old maids" and wives.-[ Another Farmers wife, Mon- roe Township.

THE WILD CARROT.

If the state is willing to appropriate money to exterminate this pest, very well. It would be another burden upon the farmer to compel him to kill out en- tirely this growing weed. The only way to eradicate them is to keep land already clean by cutting and pulling as they ap- pear. Sheep and cattle kept terribly short will help immensely. Cutting even now, they are so persistent they will sprout and seed before frost comes.-[G. w. B.
