"Gipe us a pote. Let US hold Of
flee and help to make the Iaws!''
In the State of Colorado they at
tanned their ambition, but by no
means a majority of the won1en
exercised the right of suffrage
after they got it.
Although it is not generally
knoWH, the same is true of Great
Britain. There are today four
teen womeH in England, peeresses
of the bIuest blood, who are en-
titled to take their respective
seats in the house of lords, which
corresponds TO the Senate of the
United States, and yet they re-
fuse to take a hand in the making
of British LAWS.
In years gone by a fen of the

we're content to exercise the pTipi-

A STRENUOUS LAW OFFICE.
Zone of the Busiest Men in Washing
ton" Who Has Built Up a Spleen
did Law Practice"

Wash. Cor. Charlotte Observer
1t might be said that Mr.. Marion
Butler is one Of the busiest men in
Washington. He has built up
splendid law practice, which pays
him handsomely. Some time ago he
argued and won a case before the
Supreme Court for a claim of $780,
900. His fee for this was very large.
Last week he argued a case that
involves more than two million dol
lars before the Court of Claims and
feels pretty certain that he will gain
that. His office is one of the most
strenuous places in the Capitol. To
him one must wait his turn.
Mr.. Butler and family live at the
Portland, an excellent apartment no
tel near Franklin Square. Mrs But
Ter is a favorite in Washington So
ciety, especially with the Southern
element. She was a Miss Faison, of
Sampson County.
| have been here three months
and have seen Mr.. Butler at the
Capitol, except one day, when he
spoke before the Supreme Court,
during that time. He sticks close to
his law office, in the Bond Building,
during work hours, and his spare
time is spent on the golf links, where
he takes his recreation and rest.

POLL TAX SHALL BE TWO DOL
LARS.
Decision Handed Down by the su-
preine Court Monday Afternoon.

Pf soaft monday Afternoon
The poll tax in North Carolina, ac-
cording to the decision handed down
ty the Supreme Court Monday at
ternoon. shall not exceed two dollars
on the head.
The court reversed the decision of
The lower court in the case OF Rail-
way W. Commissioners Of Mecklen-
buFg County. and the decision of the
Supreme Court Is based on the nth
article OF the Constitution OF North
Carolina. which declares that the
State and county tax shall never
exceed two dollars on the head" A
city may also levy as much as both
the county and State and the total
poll tax, therefore, the tax may be
as high as four dollars, but not
greater.
The opinion was written by Jus
tice Conner and was concurred in by
the other justices.
Since practically eight-fiye coun-
ties have been levying a poll consid-
erably greater than two dollars on
the head the decision will prove one
OF the most important ever handed
down in North Carolina. II will af-
feet practically every county and
municipality in the State, In some

HORSE SHOW At
WEST MICH. FAIR
Will Eclipse All Previous
Exhibitions.
PrsurIums Increased from $500 to
$500 - Entries Coming from
Other ststes-NotabIs Exhibits Of
Psrohsrons, Haeknsys, ehstiands.
Carriage, Light Harness and
Saddle Horses Assured.

Always noted for its great horse
shows, the West Michigan State Fair
which is to be held In Grand Rapids
Sept. 14-1S. assures It's patrons the
greatest exhibit of horses OF all classes
that has ever been offered In it's his.
tory.
The added premiums-$4.500 is of.
fered this season against $4,000 last
year-are already attracting entries
OF the highest class. This circum.
stance, combined with that OF the In.
diana State Fair being held this year
the week previous. instead OF the same
week. as has been the case for a
number OF years past, makes a more
than ordinarily successful horse show
this year a certainty.
Percherons have always made the
best showing among heavy draft an.
finals. Last seasons exhibition of this
class was a notable one, but the in
quiries and entries already received
make 1t evident that this years ex-
hibit will completely eclipse it. In
1907 there was but one exhibitor from
outside the state. This year the fact
that the Indiana State Fair falls one
week earlier will impel many Indiana
and Illinois breeders to ship their
strings to Grand Rapids, where they
will be entered in competition with
the best the state has to offer.
Although at previous fairs premiums
have been offered for hackneys, there
has never, until the present season,
been an entry in this class This
year the fair management has already
received the entries OF two big strings
of hackneys. while others are antici-
pated.
The outlook for the Shetland pony
exhibit is good. The amount Of pre-
miums in this class has been prac-
tically doubled, resulting in the prom
ise OF some fine exhibits from Indiana
and Illinois. There are few breeders
Of Shetlands in the state, and exhibits
outside.
The exhibits OF carriage horses.
light harness horses and saddlers have
always been far above the average
at the West Michigan fair but this
years entries betoken an exhibition
In this division second to none OF
the famous metropolitan horse shows.
The harness races will be two in
number each day. with two daily run
ming events. The good purses offered
for each Of these is certain TO bring
out the speediest horses travelling the
racing circuits of this section.
Horse breeders and fanciers cannot
fail to be interested In the induce
ments the West Michigan State Fair
is offering them this year. and lovers
OF horse flesh are guaranteed a rare
exhibit. Noted for keeping its prom
Uses, the fair association promises its
1908 patrons the greatest horse show

WHO OWNS THE FAIR7
10 the Property Of the People-Rev.
enues Devoted to Improvements.

Visitors to the West Michigan State
Fair have been heard TO express some
wonder as to whom the ownership
OF the fair is vested in and who profits
by the revenues derived. That there
may be no misapprehension on this
score we are pleased to inform our
readers that the fair is owned by
the members OF the association. and
that anyone may join that body on
payment OF the membership fee Of 81.
The fair was organized for the ben.
eft of the entire people of this sec.
ton, and there is absolutely no re-
striction to membership. no race, party
or color lines being drawn. The pay
ment Of the membership fee entities
new members to precisely the same
privileges as charter members.
The fair is now being conducted
by number OF philosophical citi-
zens OF Grand Rapids and western
Michigan, and there is no profit ac-
cruing to any officer or individual con-
nected with It. All officers, superin-
tendents and directors furnish their
services without compensation, the
secretary being the only officer draw
ing salary, and that merely a nom.
inal one. All the profits OF these fairs
have been and for several years 10
come must be devoted to improve
ments of the grounds, the erection
Of new buildings and repairs to the
