THE wIIsER QUEENS.

a short time ago one of the ladies
societies in Weser received a letter
from female suffrage woman who
desired to come here and make talk
on that great and burning question.
The ladies discussed the matter and
concluded that where ignorance was
bliss it was folly to be wise. They
were now contented and happy ma
irons or misses, fulfilling the spheres
for which the Almighty hand that
launched the world itself into motion
designed them. They unanimously
decided that they desired no more
rights than those which they now en-
joyed-the guiding stars of happy
homes-and that q woman's chief
grace was that she was willing to con-
secrate her life to the ties which are
bound up in the home, and when,
except in cases OF manifest abuse, her
longings are for some other sphere,
then she is not the same woman she
was before those longings came to
her Believing this, and contented,
loved and glorified in the existence
which accompanied the belief, they
had no desire to be brought out of
the blissful ignorance to the Mortified
reality Of what servile slaves, what
down trodden, miserable creatures
they really were; they cared not to
have their peaceful life swept away
and discomfort planted in their hearts
by being informed that it WAS all a
dream and that it all was in truth
but round of degradation and infe-
riority; they dreaded to have the veil
torn from their eyes and out Of their
past blindness see their husbands
now as ferocious brutes and masters
instead of the beings they had here
tofore supposed them to be. And
that explains why the womans rights
declaimer was not invited to rush on
at once. Dear ladies Of Weiserl so
may you ever guard your own exalted
realm and never seek with grosser
and coarser elements to color the
sanctifled halo of true, real and gIori-
Gus womanhood which envelopes you
and which is your loveliest embellish-
ment!

A PROPHETIC EXTRACT

l.
X. Fl. Davis, editor of the Caldwell
Tribune and one Of, il not the bright
est, journalists in the state, is the
leading and most able advocate OF
intelligent and fair irrigation methods
for arid Idaho, and 1t is interesting
~ read AN extract from what he says
about recent irrigation meeting in
Numpa. A close study of the ideas
laid down may also reveal to people
Of Weiser one Of the causes for the
half-heartedness displayed at recent
district meetings here. Future devel-
opments may show that apathy ON a
vital subject on which hinges so much
Of future Interests Is violation of
public welfare that will reap its own
whirlwind. Business men should
become thinkers for the future and
not passive idlers of the present.
Mr.. Davis says:
The men OF Nampa are alive and wide
awake: they are active and progressive;
their views are broad and correct. Real
.zing that eventually that town, which is
surrounded by the largest, most contenued
and prosperous agriculture community.
will be the substantial and prosperous
town OF this section, they are devoing
themselves zealously to encourage agri-
cultural development. They are now ag-
itating the formation of irrigation dis
trlcts under the DAILY law. and If they
keep at II they will succeed. The result
will be that Nampa will have the honor
OF rerfecting the first district organization
and secure the prestige which mast nec-
essarilv follow II will go abroad over
the land that In the vicinity Of Nampa
the farmers own and operate their own
water systems and that rights In perpelu-
ity may be secured with the land at reason
able cost. Homeseekers will be attracted
and gradually draw towards that commu-
nifty which first emancpated itself from
corporation control. IL will be known
that the citizens and business men of
the town stood by the farmers in their
early struggles to secure independence
and the farmers In the days of their ease
and prosperity will stand by the town of
Nsmpa.
The natural agricultural possibili-
ties OF The country Immediately sur
rounding Weiser are equal to if not
superior to any other section of Ida
no, and happy would we be if it
could have been our good fortune to
write in the same strain commenda-
tory Ut the action of our farmers and
business men, for in this line alone
is found the future prosperity of both
town and country, and it is to be
hoped that there may yet be recon
sideration of the matter that will f.
nally lead to success in organizing a
district system, and the benefit to in
dividuals, town and country will be
mutual

Our former article referred to by
Mr. Fletcher was not intended in any
way as a criticism on his views, with
which we fully coincide, and intended
only as suggestion that there was
danger of creating confusion by
bringing in other issues, and that
the silver question was the only one
that demanded our present attention,
regardless of any past history AS
we are fully of the opinion that the
demonetizing of silver occasioned all
our present distress, it is not neces-
sary to look into other and less easily
comprehended questions. So far as
argument is concerned, axioms are
supposed to prove themselves. AS
to the antiquity of our statements, we
can only refer to very respectable
authority for the saying that there Is
no new thing under the sun.
