If you are tired of the agita-
tion to divide grand old Custer
county refuse to sign a petition
with that object in view-if
handed you for that purpose-and
stick to it. The easiest way to
do away with this unwholesome
is to keep your name
off the petitions. The division
lists askedIfor fair, square vote
on the proposition and they got
it, were beaten-and badly beaten.
1t will be the same thing over
again if you sign the petition.
Don't do it-for another seven
years at least.

as members of the board of pub
die charities. and now the British
parliament has just passed bill
making women eligible to town
and county councillors and alder
men.
