next week
The following statement by Cover
nor Gooding, of Idaho, made in 1906.
is being used by the association to
prove that equal suffrage is a benefit
to a state rather than the contrary:
Equal suffrage has been helpful to
Idaho.
Il have nothing but words of COM
mendation and praise for equal suf-
frage, and will gladly welcome the day
when women are permitted to vote in
all of the different states and terrific
ries. and at all elections. For a num-
Der of years 1 have had an intimate
acquaintance with political activities
in this state, and I gladly testify that
the elective franchise has been eXer-
cised wisely and conscientiOusly by
the women voters of the state. Such
political activities as they have been
engaged in, have all been for good.
Women have been elected to office, both
in the state and the different counties,
andh ave proved themselves excellent
officers"

THE SULTAN NOT REALLY SICK.

For many years the Sultan of Tur-
key has been called The Sick Man of
Europe" Yet in the light of recent
developments. both in Turkey and the
Balkan states, he is not really sick at
ALL
His people have been sick and tired
of his misrule-and since they have
thrown off the yoke of the sultan the
Turkish people seem TO be getting very
close to western civilization insofar as
the proper way of treating with occi-
dental powers is concerned.
The Veil has been torn from the sui
tan. The mystery of Yildiz palace has
become a thing of the past The peo-
pie of Turkey have come into their own
and for the first time in history it is
possible for a foreign power to treat
with THE Unspeakable Turk"-not as
the head of a religion but as a modern
and sensible nation.
A peaceable dissolution has done this
"a revolution which has been many
years in the formation and many more
Years in the preparation of the blow.
1t has been a bloodless revolution be-
cause blood was unnecessary. 1t struck
the sultan of Turkey in his most vital
spot-his fear of bodily harm-and 1t
struck him so hard that he capitulated
without a struggle.
So today, we have the picture of the
sultan surrending without anything
more than a mercenary struggle some
of his richest provinces and glad to
surrender them for the sake of avoid
ing anything further in the way of vi
olenCe or trouble.
The place of the sultan of Turkey
has been taken by the ministers of a
progressive party which knows some
thing of the world-a party which has
horne the light of modern ideas into
the darkness of the Sultan's council
chambers and out of it all we shall
undoubtedly have not only a new Tur-
key. but an entirely changed condition
of affairs in the southeastern section
of Europe.

GOOD ROADS AND THE r. F. D.

Rural free delivery is particularly
dependent on good roads, the existence
of which makes delivery certain, reg
ular and relatively inexpensive.
Consequently the pOstoffice depart
ment is an advocate of the very best
highway that can possibly be con-
structed.
The question of expense is import
ant Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
craI DeGraw has prepared statistics
showing that rural free delivery during
the last fiscal year cost $34,3S0,000.
There are 1927 carriers in this de-
partment. and they travel about 942,-
642 miles each working day, a yearly
total of 2S6,564992 miles. If the roads
b. poor. the carriers are less efficient;
if the roads are first class, the gov
eminent gets most excellent results
from the outlay.
During the twelve years since the
establishment of rural free delivery,
that branch of the postoffice has cost
the government upward of 100000 600.
In the opinion of Mr.. DeGraw, as
the representative of the department.
the communities benefited by the SER
vice should be dOubly interested in good
roads, and they should pay especial at
tention to keeping their highways in
such condition that carriers may travel
quickly and easily. I
The expectation of the department is
entirely reasonable. The better the
roads the better the service is SOM
thing. that every rural community on
an r. F. D. route ought constantly to
bear in mind.

Red hiver Meeting.

DENISON, Tex, Nov. 5.-Distlng-
uished advocates of the Red River nav
igation project assembled in Denison
today for the convention of the Red
River Improvement association. Plans
will be considered for restoring navi-
cation on the upper part of the river.
Such a project would be of inestimable
value to the shippers of northern
Louisiana and Texas. since it would
almost certainly result in a great re-
ducton in freight rates Delegates will
probably be appointed to attend the
National Rivers and Harbors congress
in Washington next month, as the rep
resentatives of the association.
The program provides for a. session
of two days, the list of speakers includ-
ing Governor Blanchard of Louisiana,
Congressman Ransden, an authority
on waterways, and many other dis
tinguished men of Texas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Women Will Circulate Petitions

the state are making active campaigns
for equal suffrage, and reports from
the west side indicate that great pres

legislators favorable to the enactment
of the desired measure But little SEN
timent, either favorable or opposed to
the granting of equal suffrage has
been expressed in Walla Walla coun-

feel that the prospects are bright for
an unusually large number of sigma
lures to the petitions to be circulated

the magnificent opportunity for piano,
violin and cello triOS. Much of the
worlds greatest music is adaptable to
this combination. Aside from the ar
