OPINIONS
or the Press Upon the New Statehood Bill

Leadins organizations of women
are protesting against the bill pro-
posing to unite Oklahoma and Indi-
an Territory, New Mexico and Ari.
Eona into two states under the
names Of Oklahoma and Arizona.
This bill has already passed the
house and is now before the Senate
for action. The portion of the bill
TO which the women take exception
enumerates them with criminals,
iunatics, non-residcnts, illiterates
and idiots as those whom the states
may disfranchise.
Leading newspapers all over the
country are commenting upon the
obnoxious wording Of the following:
Washington Post. ID. c.: "This
paragraph places women below the
negro in citizenship and classed her
with the insane, the idiot. and the
criminal. Whether woman is en-.
titled TO the ballot or not, il is an
insult TO her intelligence and TO the
intelligence Of the nation to class
her as an inferior order Of humanity
and to use that classification as an
excuse for denying her the ballot.
The protest is well taken, and the
members of the Congress in charge
of the Statehood measure should
take advantage Of the first oppor-
tunity TO strike the oboxious refer
ence to sex from the bill"
Boston Globe, "Thesc energetic
and sensible women should win
their case, because their argument
is based on sound reasoning. While
there may be many persons who do
not believe in the enfranchisement
Of women, it is inconceiyable that
they approve of chasing them with
criminals and illterates."
Springfield, Mass, Republicans
"The provision places women below
the negro in citizenship, and classes
her with the insane, the idiot, the
criminal, as an inferior order OF
humanity and 50 unde serving the
ballot. TO forbid the franchise to
women is in itself gross injustice,
the worse because continuing so
long, into an age when women are
factors in every business and every
calling And to add to the injury
Of laws the insult of such a classi-
fcalion should not be possible in
this age OF the world"
Christian Endeayor World
"What a combination Those that
may be forbidden the ballot arc
minors, criminals, lunatics, imbecil.
es, and women. When we think
what woman has done as a home
builder, a teacher, and an upholder
OF law and order and morality in
the West il seems little short Of an
injustice and shame that she
should be thus Disseminated against.
Toe word sex should be elimi
mated from the list. 1t is no won.
der that the women Of the nation
protest against it, Let the men of
the land join their protest with the
women's against such a piece Of
barbarism'

In a factory where 1,500 men work
their labor union made an unreason-
able demand of the owner. The next
day number Of old men went to him
and said: 1--WE are sorry that the
union did this, and we want you ito
know that we were not at the. meet
ing -.
The owner replied: "Then you are
to blame for it. You belond to the
union properly, and it is your duty to
attend its meetings. If all the best
men had attended the meeting the
action Of the union would have been
wiser. Any demand. that. all the men
in the shop make after a careful de-
liberation is likely to- be g. reasonable
demand
Then he went on: Labor unions
sometimes have bad government for
the same reason that cities have--the
best men do not vote. To. be of use,
the union should comprise the: best
men, and, they should attend Its meet
ings and direct it's conduct: a.

One Of the greatest needs Of the

Such congress could determine a

the union label would be made the
powerful, effective lever, in the inter-

There Is no work in connection with

that would return more benef1cient re-
suits for the effort, in the interests OF
all workers, no work that there is less

OF demands that were made several

MINERS STRIKE
FOR HIGHER WAGES
EVELETH, AUG. L.

Between $50 and 800 men employed
by the Drake and Stratton company
at Esveleth went on strike today noon
and at the same hour about $50 walked
out at the Killorin-Philbin works at
Chisholm. The men are common la
borers and have been receiving $3.50.
They demand $1.75.
The stripping contract at EVeleth
has been closed down by the action
Of the men and Supt. c. II. Thompson,
of Hibbing, who will be here tomorrow
morning stated that the men would be
given a chance to resume their places
and If they did not choose to do SO
the works would In all probability re-
main idle the balance of the season
as there is no particular haste about
completing the contract.
Some Of the ringleaders said tonight
that they would accept no comprom-
ise from the compa MES and that unless
their demands were met they would
not do another stroke of work. On
the other hand it is said that there
is nearly a sufficient number Of idle
men on the western Mesabe range
who would be willing to take the
strikers places, and what few might
be lacking could easily be secured
from Duluth.
The one thing that has had much
to do with the strike as anything else,
according to one authority here to-
night, Is the inducements now held
out in western Minnesota and the
Dakotas for farm hands. Large num-
bers have been leaving for the west
during the past seven days and an
other lot left today. The men figured
that if they could force the company
to pay the increased scale the induce
ment to remain would be sufficient:
if not, they figured that they can
make more as harvest hands.

Glasgow, Scotland, Is perhaps the
model city of the world and it is the
lightest taxed.
The idea which has brought about
these results Is one that may be made
applicable to every municipality in
America. 1t is the simple business
proposition that those things which
the public must USE in common it
should OWN in common.
Ever since Glasgow undertook the
task of charging the Clyde river, max
ing it 800 feet wide and 80 feet deep.
at a cost OF $5o,ooo,0oo, it has been
one of the most progressive cities.
Some of it's enterprises are as follows:
l. 1t bought and pulled down 46
blocks of slums and built 1919 COM
Portable homes for working people, 4
three room flat rents for IS month
& 1t owns and manages seven model
lodging houses, charging seven, eight
and nine cents for lodging.
3. Ii built a family home for wild
ows VINO have small children. Last
year ITO widows and PIT children were
lodged there.
4. 1t bought out the private water
company and reduced the water rate
from "a cents per thousand gallons to
s cents.
S. II bought out the gas compa MES
and reduced the price of gas to 50
cents per thousand feet. 1t spent $12,-
100000 and made profit Of $2,00O,O00.
6. It has taken over the street car
service, reduced the hours Of the
men. increased their pay, cut the
fares In half and made a handsome
annual profit.
7. 1t has esta ablished a public tele-
phone system with two-cent rate.
8. It has opened 10 children's play
grounds and set aside 1,055 acres for
public parks.
1t has done all this and at the same
time reduced the rate Of taxation,
proving that public ownership is a
practical and profitable way to settle

Mr. Joseph Letter, the estimable
young grain gambler, has a quarrel
with his workmen.
He has built a stockade around the
village where they work, he has
guards on duty, revolvers are plentiful
and savage orders about preventing
interference with HIS business are
plentiful.
THERE IS A UNITED STATES
POSTCFFICE INSIDE OF MR.. LETT
ER'S STOCKADE AND NOBODY
CAN GO TO THAT POSTOFFICE
WITHOUT A PASS FROM MR..
LETTER.
You understand the situation, do
you?
A postoffice Of the United States is
shut away from the public by the
young grain gambler-the man or wo-
man in the neighborhood who might
want to mail letter, or so there to
ask for letter, cannot do it without a
permit for Mr.. Letter puts himself
above the postofffce-above the United
States government.
What does the proud government do?
Does it tear down Mr. Letters stock
ade, and jail him as it jailed Debs
when he was accused Of interfering
with the mails?
Not at all. Acting Postmaster Gen.
eral Wynne says:
Letter. Of course, has a legal right
to build stockade about his property,
and as the postoffice building is To-
Gated in his land we cannot help that.
II. however, persons are prevented from
reaching the postoffice the only thing
the department can do is to discon-
tinue the office"
So. dear brethren, when Mr.. Letter
interferes with the United States mails
the postoffice department Weeps and
wipes it's eye, and discontinues the
office.
That's very different attitude from
the one taken by a portly gentleman
named Grover Cleveland some time
ago.
In that particular case ordinary.
cheap WORKING men were accused of
interfering with the mails.
The United States government, rep
resented by a mongreal Democrat, the
same Mr.. Cleveland, promptly sent
soldiers with rifles and bullets, in spite
of the protest of the governor Of Illi-
nois. ....
A great many men were jail:
and kept there.
There was no humble talk THEN
about DlsCONTINU1NG the mails or
closing the Chicago postoffice-and it
was quite right by the way, that there
should be no such talk; nobody should
be allowed to interfere with the mails
for any reason whatever.
But how different 1t is when Mil
lionaire Letter closes up the mails and
when a hundred thousand working
men, trying to get their rights, are ac-
cused In a tricky way Of interfering
with mails, that the plutocrats' fat
friend have an excuse to send soldiers
and break up the railroad strike!
