We Are Proud of It-Nit.

If there is one thing Decorah should
feel justly proud of, it is her excellent
electric light system. The plant is now
in condition so that it can run two
nights week without shutting down,
and the quality of light given when
the plant is in operation is certainly an
improvement over the tallow candle,
though tits difficult to find at times.
The citizens ought to all join i'm and
help the plant-out of the way. Then
again those who are employed at the
power house are so accommodating.
During church service Sunday night
they kindly shut off the lights, so that
the devotions might be more impress
sive. Yes, they will favor you at every
opportunity, and our people should
favor them by not using so many lights,
it burns too much coal, you know, and
coal costs money.

sense of the term, and the groom, prin-
cipal of the West Decorah schools, has
spent several years in Decorah. He is

A NECESSITY.

A sO-called democratic government
or republic, such as that under which
we live, signifies "rule by the peo
ple." Therefore, the basic prin ciple il
such government is manifest in th,
right of its citizens to exercise theil
sovereign power through the ballo
box. To deny this right to one-half
or more, of our citizens, on account of ,
mere accident of birth, is not democra
tic, but sexual government.
One most glaring wrong inflicted up
on our colonial ancestors was taxation
without representation. No fair mind
ed man denies that it is unjust to lew
taxes upon the property of hundreds OF
thousands of intelligent women in this
republic, while giving them no voice
In making the laws of the land. 1t is
a wrong which cries to heaven, and for
lts continuance our nation may not
escape retributive justice.
No justification is found in the fact
that many women do not care to vote,
any more than that slavery was iusti-
fled by the fact that many slaves were
contented and did not care for freedom.
Many men do not care to vote and
election returns show that i'm those
states which now have equal suffrage a
larger per cent of women than of men
exercise the right. Shall we, there
fore, disfranchise the men?
"A great danger to our republic lies i'm
the apathy of the masses regarding
questions of the most vital public i'm
portance. This deplOrable condition
is aggravated by our present partial
suffrage laws, which deny the ballot to
our most talented women though be-
slowing it upon the Indian, the negro
and thousands of ignorant, foreign i'm
migrants. Shall we say, that given
the prerogatives, our wives and mothers
would not exercise more Loyalty and
efficiently, that "eternal vigilance
which is "the price of liberty?''
Let our legislators limit suffrage by
qualifications which will exclude the
ignorant and vicious rather than deny
1T to that social element which is most
potential in dispelling ignorance and
vice. Thus, great moral issues would
be advanced, and women who now
find home their proper sphere would
take further interest i'm protecting the
loving home none the
less, they would love their country
more, and help to advance the whole
nation to higher plane of civilization.

TEACHERS WILL BE PAID. All Outstanding Demands Passed

There was a special meeting of the School Board yesterday for the purpose of passing demands which would other wise be In danger of going over into the next fiscal year and thereby adding to the list of municipal creditors who have been losers on contracts that went be- yond the one-twelfth act.
 The list of demands amounted to s726 27, and after some objections from members of the board the full amount was passed. Included in the amount was an item of $720 which represented the salaries of lumber experts, three of them at S10 day, and this was stricken out of the budget in the first consideration it all went anyway, and by tomorrow the creditors can draw their money.
 As soon as the creditors have been paid the teachers warrants will be issued and as the treasurer has announced that he will borrow from the other funds to make up the deficit in the salary fund, the teachers will be able to collect at once. instead of having to wait as was the expectation.
 During the meeting Mr. Hammond com mented upon MT. Waller and that gentle man resented 1t, and personalities passed between the directors until MT. Gallagher, who was in the chair, called order with his gavel. It was feared there would be fight, so the board adjourned to com mittee of the whole and in privacy the After twenty minutes they all came out smiling and everything went through without trouble.
 The only demand now outstanding is that of the superintendent of the Mission High School, and as there is no money in that fund and his is not statutory office there will have to be some ma- neuver1ng before he can legally collect.
