Kind readers, after my long absence
come again. Havron Chapel singing
class went to Pleasant Grove Sunday
and sung in the afternoon, and it was
praised highly by the leaders of Pleas
ant Grove.
Everybody is cordially invited to
come to Nickojack cave the Gath day of
July. A singing picnic will be held
there by Prof. Higdon.
The Nickojack Cove writer said Hav-
ron Chapel class went to the cave and
sang for the bats. Macedonia won't
sing at the cave before the public. They
are going to have picnic at what is
called the Blowing Springs up in the
Warn Gulf near Cole City. Wonder
who they are going to sing for. l don't
think bat would go up in there.
guess they are going to sing for the
boot owls.
| think Nickojack Cave is the most
convenient place in this country for a
singing picnic. Everybody can come
and bring full basket and we will
have plenty of dinner. So we will be
supplied with every thing, a good din
ner, good water and plenty of good
singing,
A largo crowd went to Pleasant Grove

, another New New Zealand experiment
which Is worth watching.
BY this method the government which
assumes far more functions than with
us. building railroads and operating them
as we'll as telegraph and postal lines, en-
ploys Its own aborers, who elect their
own bosses, Instead of dealing with con-
tractors for fixed price
In other words, the middle man be-
tween the government and the labcrer
is cut out, and each man is paid for what
he actually does. and for the skill. enter
prise and energy which he brings to his
task. a
TO make this system plain I cannot
do better than to quote sentence or
two from the luminous volume entitled
Progress of New Zealand"
THE system of cooperative labor on
public works was first introduced on
road and railway works and It's opera
ton may be best explained by taking
railway contract as a typical illustrate ton.
The government engineer divides the
formation into lengths proportionate to
the difficulty of the country and then
he measures up the amount OF excava-
ton and filing to be done on given
/ length and prepares set of simple
specifications. He assesses the price of
the work. basing his figures on the aver
age rate of wages current IN the district.
| with small percentage added to repre-
| sent in some measure the profits con-
tractor would make In the ordinary way.
These Specifications and calculations
OF cost when approved by tho engineer
in-chief form the basis of the contract.
"a voluntary association OF laborers,
seldom exceeding ten or twelve and prob
ably averaging six. then undertake the
job. They elect head man to represent
them In their dealings with the govern
ment. The department supplies tracks
rails. barrows and expensive plant gem

shovels and, where necessary. hire horses
and drags from settlers in the neighbor
! hood, Work actually done Is paid for:
/ and this Is measured once a month. The
engineers report shows tho number Of
Itmen employed, days and hours worked
| by each. and net wages earned"
The system is strongly defended and as
! strongly criticised.
! 1t Is undoubtedly liable to abuse. It
puts more Jobs possibly In the hands Of
| corrupt political bosses; 1t suggests easy
colonizng for political purposes, and has
not been wholly free from charges Of
poor work and extortionate pay demand
| cd from a too easy government.
But IL the government Is sometimes

States are so overborne by the older.
larger and more conservative common
wc.Eh a that Ihc woman's vote does not
greatly affect national politics.
But in New Zealand all the political
barriers in the way Of the fair sex have
been levelled except that she is not ELI
gible for all the offices Cor which she
votes to fill
! For more than ten years now the female
suffrage act has been In power More
over. It is a most sweeping and compre-
hensive act, for one word only in the
statute was changed, the generic word
person taking the place Of the word
man" which in legal statutes shuts out
one-half Of humanity.
Singularly enough. this sweeping change
was made originally, not by the Progress
sve party in the New Zealand Parlla-
rnent. but by the Conservatives, who
reasoned that women. being naturally
conservative, would check the Radicals.
Other advocates said she would save the
tone of politics. send more men into Of
flee. perhaps introduce religious teach
ing into the public schools and promote
the cause OF temperance.
The opponents OF the measure used the.
stock arguments so familiar in America,
that women didn't want and worldn
use their privileges: that If they did 1t
be the tool OF designing politicians, ETC..
etc. through the long and well-known
catalogue of objections
From all that can learn the forebod-
ings Of the enemies OF the measure have
not been realized. Women certainly do
register and vote In large numbers In
New Zealand.
More than eighty per cent Of the quail
flied women voters of New Zealand have
registered This is exceeded somewhat by
the proportion OF men who register, but.
on the other hand. a larger per cent or
the registered woh1en tmore than eighty
per cent? vote than of the men.
Still the millennium hasn't arrived even,
In New Zealand. Polling booths are more
decent elections are more orderly, the
women who vote. to be sure, have not
been 'unsexed'' or made over into cheap
limitations Of ward heelers and pot house
politicians: but. on the other hand, weak
men and bad men have sometimes been
sent to Parliament. ] am told, unWiso
measures have not been defeated, cor
ruption has not had all Its hydra heads
chopped off. But then what could you
expect In ten short years? Prohibition
has. indeed made much progress as q re-
suit in part. at least OF woman suffrage.
