Afsee | The Advertiser.

  believe those who favor a convention will bestir themselces to work up sen timent to that end: but if the people will only speak out. either by letters to the committee. or through the press of the State, and let their wishes be known, the committee will give them what they want.

 "As to the Judiciary of our State, I would be glad to see it eliminated from politics: but so long as we have judi ciary. just that long will politics be a factor in the selection of the judges, and to get the less of the evils I favor. the primary plan. and believe 1t the best yet devised for their selection. Why. in our State Conventions in the past have seen trading and trafficing in the selection of the various State officers that could not have possibly been done in a primary, and the trading was not confiened merely to State officers. It may be true that the people have not given as much attention and concern to the selection of their judi ciary as the importance of the office de. mands: but can this not be attributed to the fact, that they have realized how small part they have played in the past in their selection. and consequently lost interest in the matter.
 If we have a primary, and I believe we will have. and the responsibility of selecting the Judiciary of the State is cast upon the people, they will gladly ac- cept the burden and act upon 1t, and you may rest assured that the right thing will be done.'

womAN's cAusE-xAS's CAUSE.
Platform OF Mems League for Woman
Suffrage.

Ii seems there is an organization
in Great Britain known as the "Male
Electors League for Woman Suf-
frage." Their platform contains
the following reasons for their exist
ence:
81. Because women equally with
men are subject to law.
2. Because, being themselves one
half of humanity, women are con-
cerned as deeply as men in the
legislation that affects humanity.
8. Because, therefore, the opin-
ion of women as expressed by their
vote would be of the highest service
to the whole commonwealth.
A.. Because the denial of this equal
legislative right to women is the re-
fusal of justice to half the human
race, and detriment to the whole.
S. Because under a system of
partially representative government
the interests and the lives of the
unrepresented always suffer.
6. Because experience has proved
that men alone are as unfit to legis-
late for women, as women alone
would be unfit to legislate for men.
2. Because while taxation with
out representation is tyranny Leg
islation without representation is yet
greater tyranny.
8. Because by the legal recogni-
ton and establishment of women's
citizenship the intellect and charac-
ter and reciprocal estimation of
both sexes would be raised.
9. Because the help of politically
enfranchised women is indispensa-
BILE for the upbuilding of the higher
humanity that is to be.
10 Because-The Woman's cause
is Mans; they rise or sink together,
dwarf'd or godlike, bound or free !"

Excellent Progress Is Being Made on

Excellent progress is being made
on the construction of the West V;r-
GINA State building at St. Louis.
The contractors, Caldwell & Drake,
formerly of Parkersburg enjoy the
distinction of having taken contracts
for more buildings at St. Louis than
any other firm on the ground, yet
they have all their work we'll adj
vanced. Supervising Architect M.
F. Giesey, of Wheeling, who recent
ly visited the grounds. stated that
the West Virginia building is now
IS per cent completed, and is sure
to be finished far ahead of the time
specified in the contract, March l..
Other buildings which Caldwell 6,
Drake are erecting include the agri-
cultural building, costing $3.50, 900,
in which no less than Is, 900, 600
feet of lumber is being used, and
which covers seven acres. They

While the w. G. T. US are max
ing such a war against the use of in
toxicating drinks, why don't they
say something about the incorporate
use of snuff among their own sex.
We venture to assert that dipping
snuff is destroying as many lives
among the female sex as whisky is
males. What do they use snuff for1
Simply for its intoxicating effects
Just what men drink whisky for.
We do not justify men for drinking
whisky no more than we do women
for dipping snuff. Both are useless
habits. Every dip of snuff woman
takes intoxicates her to a certain ex-
tent.
