Woman Suffrage a Success

1t is very significant fact that those
who have lived where they could watch
the practical workings of woman suf-
frage are, almost without exception,
strong in their praises of the same.
Hon George p Wheeler, ex-Speaker
of the House of Representative of
Idaho says regarding the results of
woman suffrage in Idaho:
'Until the problem was thoroughly
tried in Idaho, | was bitterly opposed
to granting the franchise to women. /
voted against the proposed constitu-
tional amendment, like thousands OF
other men. | was honest in my con-
victions. We believed that our wives,
mothers and sisters would very gener-
ally stay away from the polls, while
the women Of the alleys would turn
out in full force at the elections, always
casting their ballots for the baser ele-
ment in politics, and with the CRATER
and gambler; but, singular to say, a
very large percentage of this class of
women, despite their own condition,
vote for purity in politics, for better
public schools, and on the side of public
morality This is saying a good deal,
but the results in Idaho and Colorado
will bear out the assertion.
'.In conclusion, let me add that there
is now scarcely man in the state who
would vote for repeal of the law. 1t
has worked magniticently from the
first, and has been of inestimable value
to the state 1t has purified our poll
tics immeasurably. Our women can
90 to the polls with no more fear OF
insult than if going to church"
In spite of all such testimony as the
above the opposers will continue to
assert that the better class of women
will not vote and consequently the
moral tone of politics will not be raised
through the admission of women.
have often wondered if the people who
make this excuse are really sincere. Ii
impresses me they have a theory which
they are bound to maintain in spite of
all facts to the contrary.

POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
They Arc Not So Much Like One An
other as Many People Think.


other as Many People Think.
In moist places in the fields and
meadows may be found the wood tor
toise, a sober sort of turtle of brown
Oh reddish brown color above, the shell
having a ridge in it's middle along the
back, says Nature Study. Each plate OF
the shell underneath has a black
blotch.
In mud holes and in small ponds, Of
ten resting on log or stone above the
water, one may almost always find the
painted turtle, which has the margin
of the shell marked red, while the shell
underneath is yellow. These turtles
are not so easily captured as the wood
turtles, for they are rather timid and
often slip into the water when APP
preached, but with patience and In
genuity they can be outwitted at last
and one secured for examination.
1t will be rare good fortune to find
turtle at meal and see him hold his
food, sometimes with one fore foot,
sometimes with the other, but never
with both at once, as cats and dogs
often do.
After watching him for awhile try to
find whether he always draws his tail
in on the same side of his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over: then sometimes try other tur-
ties in the same way and find out for
yourself whether turtles vary in this
matter of hiding away their tails. This
is more important than you can imag-
inc. If all the animals and plants of
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change in
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same number all around.
AS you find other turtles. particularly
in different parts of the country, If you
travel about, or in sven museums as
you can visit, see wnat differences you
can find in this matter of the number
and arrangement of turtles toes. 1t is
not so silly as it may appear to some
people. Notice also that some turtles
have webbed feet, to enable them to
swim the better.
Manage in some way to open the tur-
ties mouth and find whether 1t has
teeth, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with small stick and
see the turtle draw a thin skin over
them. This is the third eyelid, the same
as in hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW
cred With scales; then some time exam
inc the foot of hen or pigeon and see
that they are scaly also. In this mat
ter Of the third eyelid and the scales
the Lirds and the turtles have features
in common. Perhaps some time you
will learn how 1t happened and will
find It very interesting story.-New

An Annie Kitchen.

What is said to be the largest kitchen
in England is that of Raby Castle, the
seat of the Duke of Cleveland. 1t is 80
feet square, having three chimneys,
one for the CRATE, second for the
stoves, and the third for the great
caldron. The roof is arched, with a
small cupola in the center. 1t has five
windows, from each of which steps
descend, but only in one instance to the
floor, and a gallery runs round the
whole interior of the building. The
ancient oven has a diameter of Is feet.
Vast as this kitchen is, it must have
been sometimes taxed by the hospital
ity of former ages, for in one of the
apartments of the great castle 700
knights were upon one occasion enter
tanned at the same time. And the
knights of that day were men of Drawn
and sinew, who would think lightly Of
demolishing, each man of them, five
pounds of beef, half a sucking pig, a
venison pasty or two, washed down
with huge fiagons of brown October

Alexander for Governor.

Walter Alexander is northern Wis
consin's candidate for governor, and
he is being doomed by all the repre-
sentative men from that part of the
state who are here for the state fair.
G. d. Jones of Wausau declares that
Marathon county, the largest county
in the state and the strongest Stalwart
fort in Wisconsin, is for Alexander
first, last and all the time, and if the
political developments shape them
selves properly the lumbcrman of
Wausau will be given the support of
all that portion without hesitation.
There is no question:" said Mr..
Jones, "but that the people of the
northern counties, who depend upon
manufactures for the development of
the cities, will be willing to support
MI. Alexander for the governorship.
The sentiment seems to be that the
governor has been very reckless in his
statements regarding the situation of
the manufacturers in their attitude to-
ward the railroads, and he is losing
much of his old strength"
Mayor A. III. Wright, of Merrill, who
was at the Pfster on Wednesday, will
be responsible for the support of Lin
coin county for Mr.. Alexander Mr..
Wright expressed himself as certain
that the rate commission issue that the
governor has taken up will prove fatal
to him in Lincoln county. He stated
that if Mr.. Alexander could be pre-
vailed upon to accept the nomination
he would be sure of the support of
Merrill at least.

WE have heard much of late to the
effect that the country outside of Wall

Their financial legislation; that the pro
posed changes in our financial system
are not in the interests of legitimate
business, but are in the interests of the
gamblers. This has not been al demo-
cratic talk, by any means. 1t has come
from business men irrespective OF

badly, true that the proposed financial

if adopted, render money making I'M

WALTER WELLMAN, a republican,
and correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald says that Roosevelt is the
greatest politician alive, and that the
proof is that he can do all the work OF
a great politician and yet not be sus-
pected of being politician. Wellman
further says, that Roosevelt has prom
ised New York to come to its relief
and carry through Congress the finan-
cial measures desired by the New York
tinanciers. Also that by so doing he
will obtain the friendship of the New
York financiers, and that he has al
ready become the most popular man in
the nation by reason of his talk against
trusts.
Well, time will tell. There are old
fables about people who tried to sit on
two stools, and ride two horses. But
there are acrobats, and jugglers
who can do much harder things than
these. And besides it is an age of con-
tradictions and surprises, and the unex-
pected happens quite often.

STILL AFTER SMOOT.

They are after Senator Smoot again. The eXecu-
tive committee of the National Reform association
has Initiated measures for renewing the opposition
to the Mormon's hold upon his seat.
1t is proposed that proof shall be found that
Smoot has more than one wife, or, if it be mpossi-
BILE to find this, to naugur0te fierce agitation of
the proposition that, ut any rate, he favors poyga-
my and SO must be cassed polygamist.
This last idea is not original. 1t has been put
forward before. No doubt it will continue to be
put forward Just as long religious differences con-
tinue to exist. But, unfortunately for this argu-
ment it runs foul of the constitution of the United
States and the constitution, though sadly dsfg-
ured still follows the flag far Utah.
Religious belief, even when offensive to the Ma
tional Reform associations is not crime. Acts,
when in violation Of laws. are crimes, and unfit a
for d seat in the senate, provided they be not
bank wrecking, railroad stealing, trust manpula-
ton, Or some other heavy Juggling with peoples
millions.
But mere religious belief is not crime. Senator
Smoot may believe that ta man may rightfully take
unto himself 100 wives, and openly say so, but SC
long as he takes but one himself and properly pro-
vides for and treats her WE'LL he stands upon the
stituton and may sit in the senate.
