Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1902-11-29

On Tuesday morning we re-
oeived very pleasant call from
Editor Powers Of The Wausau
Herald. Mr.. Powers had for o
few days enjoyed the hospitality
Of Deer Lodge, the guest of the
owner Mr.. n. A. Colman. He
was enthusiastic in his praise OF
his host, the Lodge, the location
in the beautiful hardwood, the
natural home of the deer and in
cidentally his enthusiasm called
forth high econimuns for all Villas
county with its numerous lakes
and its grand possibilities. Mr..
Powers views upon the natural
advantages are correct. All the
party at Deer Lodge secured their
quota of deer, although the ab-
sence of snow was unfavorable
for the hunters. Besides the
pleasure of the trophies they bear
to their homes they will also long
retain pleasant memories of the
happy days at Lake Emogene.

Wheat is up now, being quoted at
80 cents. Those farmers who were
fortunate enough to hold their wheat
are now reaping the harvest. Many
are holding for still better prices, ar q
only the future can prove the wisdom
of such course. At any rate, Adams
county farmers are willing generally
to let well enough alone, and another
good crop or two with even ordinary
prices will place most of them in in
dependent and easy circumstances.

A woman may vote as q stakeholder
upon railroad from one end of the
country to the other. But if she
sells her stock and buys house with
the money, she has no voice in the
laying out OF the road in front CT her
door, which her house is taxed to
keep and pay for. Why, in the name
of good sense, if a responsible human
being may vote upon specific indus
trial projects, may she not vote upon
the industrial regulation OF the state?
All argument against woman suffrage
appears fimsy. Men are much dis
posed 60 exaggerate the difficulties OF
voting intelligently when they talk of
women voting. By the time public
question is ready for the popular vote,

and common sense to vote upon it.

ley favored the cause. Roosevelt
