War Against Milton Blind Pleqers

Some one hundred farmers near Mil
ton are out with a manifesto threaten
ing to boycott the town unless the sight
less porkers are banished. They ask for
the abatement of the nuisances in the
following languages: "We, the under
signed farmers residing near Milton, N.
D., having heard that the people of Mil
ton are in favor of allowing blind pigs
and gambling houses to operate in the
town of Milton for the reason that it
draws trade to the town, do hereby pro-
test against any such idea and consider
it an insult to US to make any such claim.
We do agree among ourselves that we
will discriminate againt the town of
Milton until such time as the above
named nuisances are abated.'

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Courier-Democrat !:

Editor rCOurler-DemOcrat:-
The decency loving people of the City
of Langdon will be pleased to learn that
an ordinance was passed by the city
council at its meeting of Monday night
this week regulating pool rooms and the
operating of slot machines. The gam
bling slot machines have been put out of
business and boys under eighteen years
of age are not allowed to congregate in
pool rooms or bowling alleys. An ordi-
nance to that effect now exists and 1t is
to the people in general to see that 1T is
enforced. The writer embraces this
opportunity to thank and compliment
Alderman Haugh for having taken the
initiative in the matter; good citizens
will accord him the credit which be de
serves.

Grand Forks. It will take 26,O00 lineal
feet of pillng for the bridge and 100000
feet OF bridge timber in It's construction.
Some idea of the immense amount of pill

parative statement of piling used in all
the bridges built along the 500 extension
from Detroit to the Canadian boundary
last year-6OO00 lineal feet, while 26,OOO
lineal feet is to be used in the new 500

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

II seems in state where women
vote the newspaper politicians who
edit papers treat the subject of wo-
man suffrage very softly. says the Sa-
lem Journal.
The Capital Journal Is ready to ad-
nit that II the women were voters in
Oregon 1t might take different view
Of woman suffrage.
Most men would But the men are
not chivalrous enough to give up a
monopoly of voting which they have
so long enjoyed They had to give up
a monopoly of school teaching.
The Idaho Daily Statesman in an
editorial comment upon the setting
apart of a day at the Lewis and Clark
exposition in honor of Abigail Scott
Duniway, paid a warm tribute to this
noted pioneer of Oregon. Referring
to Mrs. Duniway's work in behalf of
woman suffrage, the editor said in
part: "Who are better entitled to a
place at the ballot box than the women
who shared the hardships and dangers
of founding the state? Who are bet
ter entitled to have voice in the gov
ernment of the state than the mothers
who carried their children in wagons
across the continent to assist in build
ing up the commonwealth
who are better entitled to the bal
lot than the daughters and grand
daughters of those heroic women? =?
With the ballot women will
make conquests that men are incapa-
Bile of achieving, and she will con-
tribute immeasdrably toward building
a greater Oregon; a grander Oregon;
an Oregon that will stir greater pride
in the breasts of those coming genera
tons than is felt by those of this time
for the Oregon we know"
AS a champion of development this
paper would almost be willing to give
women the ballot if it would be the
means of awakening this common
wealth, continues the Journal.
But would It? Women have voted
in Idaho since 1896. The editor Of
the Statesman, therefore, in advocat-
ing woman suffrage. is giving voice to
conclusions which are based on ex-
perience. An ounce of experience is
worth a ton of prejudice on almost
any subject.
