In looking over the various exhibits,
the ADVOCATE representative found
a great many products which he was
surprised to learn were manufactured
In Kansas City; and believing that
little specific information along this
line will prove Of interest to ADvO-
GATE readers, a number of the ex-
hibits will be briefly referred to.
The Crane Company, 1923 West
Eleventh Street, devoted most Of its
space to an exhibit Of lead pipe and
steam filters supplies, although this
is by no means the only line Of goods

hand and windmill pumps, irrigation
cylinders, valves, betting and hose and
irrigation supplies.

The McCahsn Cigar Company

such an item is we'll worth the saving in
such stringent times as these when such

labor will save money. The difference

The Home Product Show Develops the Fact
That That City Is Fast Becoming
Great Manufacturing Center.

usual enterprise, have succeeded In
directing the attention of their home
people as well as a large number OF
visitors to the fact that factories In
that city manufacture products in a
large number of lines about which
people knew little heretofore. This
hss been done through the medium Of
the Home Product Show. This eXhi-
bition was given in large double
front building, the entire Eve floors
being occupied. Even this space was
inadequate for proper display of the
products of all Of the manufacturing
concerns Of that city. This show
brings to the attention Of Western
people the fact that large quantity
Of the manufactured articles used In
the West may be secured here at home,
from home manufacturers. 1t requires
no argument to convince people that
it is to their advantage to do business
with home people, If Kansas City
were doing twice the manufacturing
business that is now being done, 1t
would increase and improve very ma
terislly the market for the products
Of the Kansas farm. That 1t is sdVsn-
tageous to have home market is un-
disputed, the saving on the fTeights
alone being a marked advantage.
One great disadvantage under which
the people of Kansas have laboEed has
been that 1t was necessary to send their
surplus products to markets in remote
sections of the country, and to send
too much Of their money to the same
sections In payment for the goods that
was necessary for them to buy. If
our people could sell their products at
Kansas City, and do their buying at
the same place, hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars would be kept at home in.
stead Of being sent away. That Kan
sss City realizes that this sort Of
condition is what the people of the
West want, and that that city is the
best in the West for such purpose, is
becoming evident. Kansas City al.
ready has large number Of institu-
tions which manufacture as good .
quality Of msny lines of goods as can
be obtained anywhere.
So far these factories have received
very substantial encouragement, but
there is a vast amount Of business
which has not yet been turned in that
direction which ought to 60 there.
This is due to the fact that the people
Of Kansas, and Of the West generally,
do not know that these conditions
exist. The Home Product Show has
done much to bring to the attention
Of the public the fact that already a
great portion of the business in fac.
tory products may be handled no
further east than Kansas City. If
these institutions will properly present
to the public the facts in regard to
their ability to supply manufactured
products, they will have no trouble In
very greatly increasing the demand
for their goods.
The Home Product Show was q pop
ulsr affair. 1t opened Tuesday, June l,
and closed Saturday, June IL. The at.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

lhe Committee on Judiciary of the
Assembly v presented a majority
q minority report upon Senate con.
current resolution No. 9-amending
the State constitution, striking there
from the word male" The resoIu.
ton is made a special order for next
Monday at 2 o'clock p. NJ, and should
be agreed to by the House. The ques-
Ito OF female suffrage is one upon
which there is a wide difference of
opinion, and being one of the great
social problems of the day, it should
be referred to the people for their ap-
proval or disapproval There are,
doubtless members of the Legislature
on both sides Of this question, but It
should be remembered that they do
not finally determine it, they simply
nave the power to prevent or allow the
proposition to be voted on by the peo-
pie, when they can exercise their per-
sonal Judgment the same as any other
citizen. by voting for or against the
amendment.
The APPEAL hopes the Assembly will !
sustain the majority of the Judiciary
Committee in their recommendation
that the resolution be agreed to, in
order that the people themselves NAV
finally decide whether or not women
may vote in Nevada, as they now do
in u sister States of Colorado, Utah.
Wyoming and Idaho.
An amendment TO the constitution
is obliged to run the gauntlet Of two
Senates and two Assemblies before
even the people can vote upon it. The
present amendment has passed three
OF the five tribunals that have to act
upon tive hope the fourth will give
it favorable considerations, and that
the people (the mem may be allowed
to finally settle the matter. Whether
members of the Legislature, in their
INDIVIDUAL views, are opposed to
female suffrage or not, they should be
willing to let the people vote upon the
question:, Tor II a majority Of the
voters OF the State are opposed to the

will be voted down on the other h md
