Don't you think officers would act more

deeply. They realize that for the world
to have the best of men they must be
the best of mothers and they are right
fully concerned in the political affairs
of their sons. The voting of women
Is matter of education and growth"

said Mrs. Phillbrick, 'and that's what

as slow to take advantage of the power
at the polls as women are now. Every
once in a while now on election day
the candidates have the hardest kind
of work to get the men out The wom-
en- lose a point here think. Most men
have shown a willingness to give the
women the ballot IL they showed that
they really wanted 1t. Now here they
could go out in force to school elec-
tions IL they would and show the men
that they do want to vote. That would
be one of the best of influences for the
cause. Because they don't do II the
men think they are not really anxious
to vote and there the question stands.
Then too, many women are too closely
bound to society dOings. In our ward
i have noticed that when we tried to
get out the women vote 1t was almost
absolutely necessary to go from house
to house with carriages. Even then a
great many of them refused to move.
They might be baking or washing or
housekeeping or be hard at work on
some other domestic duty. Or they
might feel that they were not dressed

women vote in as full force as the men
ana sometimes In greater number.
There are often elections when 1t is
as hard to get the men out as 1t has
ever been women she says, "even
where the women have only school
board suffrage. 1t took $4,000 to get
out the male vote in just one ward i'm
New York during one contest. At the
same time the national woman suffrage
association expended $4,000 i'm propa-
Sandism. Note that it takes much
money to interest men in their civic
duties sometimes. 1t always takes the
women some time to become interested
in their political rights but once they
have felt their power they do not shirk
any more than the men. As a matter
of fact both sexes are too often lament
ably lax in the performance of their
civic duties."
"A good many women are not con-
vinced that half a loaf or rather a
crust is better than none." said Mrs.
H. H. Wilson. They think that the
privilege to vote merely on the school
board is poor sop thrown to them by
the men and they rather resent it.
These women think that If voting is 1T
all worth their while they should be al
lowed to have full suffrage and being
denied that they will have none of it.
L believe in voting as much as we can
and in hoping and working for more
Other women take no interest in the
question at all. They are apparently
in the majority but it is hardly to be
expected otherwise. Would you be in
terested in athletics in day if you had
spent your entire life indoors? From
ences have worked to impress the girl
that politics is of no concern to her.
She has grown up with subconscious
understanding that the home alone is
to be her sphere. But when she under
takes the higher education and comes
to study political economy and sociolo-
gy she broadens and begins to think of
community interests. 1t is she who be-
gins to agitate the suffrage question
and yearns for a part in it, which she
thinks by rights she is entitled to. For
it she is working and she strives to in
terest her sisters. The result is to be
seen in the annually increased vote of
women at school elections. 1 have not
seen the records for 1t but from my
observations 1 am sure they are vot-
ing more and more numerously. But
even when they do not vote they still
have a strong, wholesome influence.
For instance. the women were primari-
ly responsible for the annex to the Cap

UbY Uon'er Don't
Uofe at School elections

Why is it that women slight their
privilege of voting at school elections?
Is it evidence that they do not care
for full suffrage or is it that their dig
nifty has been offended by the offer of
so small part in the powers of citi-
zenship?
Or is it something else?
A few suffrage women have some
thing to say about it.
"Give the women as much suffrage as
the men and they would vote as
much" was the opinion of Miss Laura
Nebraska. IF school elections were d.
vorced from city elections no more
men would vote for the school board
than do women now If women were
allowed the ballot on political matters
also many more would be observed
about the polls on election day. AS it
is the school board is seldom an ISSUE"
She proceeded to tell of such an issue
in Omaha many months ago. 1t was
when the board was accused of selling
IL
detective of that city succeeded in
making the revelation when it came
time to vote on this the women fairly
swarmed from their homes to take part
in the voting. And the opponents of
woman suffrage who opposed it be-
cause they thought the women would
not vote now opposed it because they
did. 1t was the women who defeated
their candidates"
She told of a time in her former home
in Kansas when the whole city ticket
had been renominated, without an ex-
ceptiOn. The officers had performed
their duty satisfactorily and there was
no complaint Because of that the vote
was SO small that the candidates re-
fused at first to qualify. 1t was their
view that If the people did not appre-
ciate their actions heartily enough to
get out and vote for them the second
time ii was not worth while to serve
them longer 1t shows how the men,
too. can stay away from the polls. The
city would have been without officers

A New Oil Well.

The Wickliffe Oil and Mining
Company have determined to begin
at once the sinking of a new well
at Wicklitfe in the search tor oil al
that place. The old one which has
been carried to depth of thou
sand feet will be abandoned on ac.
count of the serious damage result
ing from an accidental twist IN the
casing and the consequent abrupt
change IN its perpendicular course.
The contractor and expert operat-
ing the machinery has employed
every means availd bic to force the
casing into its proper position, OBJ
waiting the necessity of starting a
new we'll, but has failed altogether.
1t is however proba BILE that the well
has reached a sufficient depth any
way, and that explorations should
be made i'll a new locality. This
step has been decided upon and
work will begin Immediately. It
is, of course, to be hoped that the
company will be more fortunate
with the new we'll. Every means
and funds available will be exhaust
ed in the research, providing oil or
mineral is not found beforehand,
and it is believed the prospects and
indications are just as good now as
ever.
