Afisr The Votes Ware Counted

The editor Of this paper met the
enemy last Tuesday and we are
theirs in carload lots. We lost out
and our opponent won in. The
only way we can account for this
is that he got more votes than we
did. We are not lame, manned or
sore over the result. A number of
voters promised to vote for us, but
made mistake on election day
and voted for the other fellow
such is politics.
Hereafter this paper will be
more Of a religious paper than
political one. We have to do
something to osquare ourselves for
the lying we have done in behalf of
ourselves and Others.
We find ourselves now without
friends, influence, money, credit or
a meal ticket, and those owing Us
will come to our relief at once. No
apologies or excuses will be receiv-
ed unless it bears the mark of the
sender-that is, gold, silver or
currency. We will be found at the
Gem Office during business hours,
unless we are dodging our credi-
tors. Flagstaff Gem.

MISSIONS IN SAMOA.

Miss valesca Schultze. recently re-
turned missionary from Samoa. deliv-
cred a lecture last evening in the Ger
man Lutheran church on Samoa and
Samoan Missions
The history Of Samoa from the first
arrival Of the English missionary in
1880 was detailed. The speaker said
the missionaries met with early sue
cess and that marvellous progress was
made In converting the Samoans. In
q comparatively short time the natives
we're Christianized.
The work of evangelizing the islands
assumed such large proportions that
Il German mission was established to
give aid. In the many villages of Sa-
moa, each had church and a native
| pastor who was also the school teach
! er. The speaker said the Sam0ans were
lazy but that the missionaries were
busy trying to make then industrious
The education Of women in Samoa
was one Of the greatest problems the
missionaries had to contend with. Miss
Schultze said she had been sent out
by the German society in 1890 to teach
higher education to the women. The
chiefs had discouraged the project as
well as the missionaries already resi-
dent there. The Chiefs asked why 1t
was that the women should be educat-
ed since they cannot become pastors.
The speaker characterized the women
as being like the birds OF the air, so
free and independent were they. How
ever, upon their being married, they
lose all their liberty. go about unkempt
and dirty and give up all the fnery
they enjoyed before their marriage.
One Of these married women was
asked the reason Of the change and the
answer came that when girl was mar.
ried and still wore all her finery, she
was pointed out as one for whom one
husband was not enough and who
WANTED to attract others.
