A MILITANT SUFFRAGETTE

Mrs. Pankhurst has arrived. The ag
gressive leader of the English Suffra
gettes has come to America to confer
with the leaders of the woman suffrage
and in turn be heartened herself. She
will speak in public and of course to
large audiences. She is at ease on the
platform, and at home has a reputa-
ton for great energy and directness
of statement If she succeeds on this
side she will return to her own people
stronger than ever.
This English woman is of the mill
tant school. She has suffered for her
cause, and is willing to suffer more.
Her idea is war, and war to the hat
pin. She feels that she is dealing not
only with difficult situation, but with
an obstinate foe. The English man in
Office who is opposed to woman suf-
according to the Pankhurst view, needs
to be Jared. Now Earring such an
official calls for heroic means
So far. the cause in this country has
been conducted on different lines. Force
and. fury have not been resorted to.
over here, executives and lawmakers
are very approachable. 1t is not nee
essary to threaten to lynch congress
to obtain hearing for proposition.
Of course hearing is one thing and
action quite another. but after a hear

Pittsburg- Gilmore, or Chicago North
Western that they are trying to make.
The situation is not regarded as so
impenetrable at present as formerly,
for it is known that the Pittsburg-
Gilmore is to be in Salmon city, jan
uary 1, when they will extend their
lines either to Lewiston or Asotin.
This in itself presents the key to the
main situation to every person inter-
ested in the matter and it is now be-
lieved that without a doubt the North
Coast will connect with the Pittsburg-
Gilmore (Chicago Northwestern) and
then east.
What is considered good proof has
been taken from the amended articles
of incorporation of this road which
provides for branch line ito be con-
structed from a junction with the main
line at Timber creek to Salmon city
to continue down the valley and can
yon of the Salmon river and to con-
tinue thence to Pasco and into the
state of Washington. Other branches
of the road proposed are from Pasco to
Walla Walla; from the Salmon city
Pasco branch to Grangeville, and
others"
This, in conjunction with the recent
statement Of President Robert Stra-
horn of the North Coast, leaves little
doubt of the identity of the mysterious
road

DID YOU EVER CONSIDER?

1t costs a newspaper money every
Almost any other citizen can do it
without injuring his business, because
he is not put on record. Whenever a
newspaper publishes anything, it is
down in black and white, and there
is no way to get around it, If the
editor advocates improvements, the
moss backs get after him. If he OPP
poses improvements, the progressive
sort get onto his frame and call him
a back number If he boosts the
church, the liberal element call him
crazy, and if he does not, the church
people say he is going to the devil.
If he publishes politics the opposi-
ton gets into his hair, and if he
doesn't he is accused of being afraid
to stand for his own opinion. If he
condemns saloons the saloon man
gets after him, and if he doesn't h
gets the prohibition advocates after
him; if he condemns mail order
houses there are some people who in
vite him to mind his own business as
they have a right to trade where they
please. No newspaper can come out
square without making enemies and
losing money and in a run of a year
or so will incur some criticism from
nearly everybody in the community.
But then, when an editor is criticized,

the big syndicates and pools which
have been behind recent nlanipulations.
The fact cannot be concealed that these
pools are distributing their Steel as
fast as the market will assimilate it.
1t is the habit of those who are con-
Quoting this campaign to let the public
buy their surplus stocks when prices
and prosperity are at the high level:
and when this campaign is finished
it's history, if ever written, will prove
it to have been one of the most re-
markable and most skillfully conduct

is not confined to New York, but is evil

ing a Wilderness in distribution among
investors which has never before been
accomplished. 1t is useless to attempt
to forecast the course of these securl-

ton behind them; nevertheless it is
quite apparent that the rise has been
carried as far as reason and safety
should permit The advance has been
predicted upon a belief that the divi-

Mrs. Fankhurst met the interviewer
at the dock, an6 replied to some queer
questions She could see no reason for
bloodshed. Who can? Why bloodshed?
American women have no thought of
becoming pistol toters." We have
enough of that on the part of men;
and women have been the most vigor-
Gus of all those protesting the evil
practice Besides, a woman would be
at DISADVANTAGE in warfare of that
kind. Before she could possibly find
her pocket and draw, her enemy would
have gone straightway to his, and
dropped her.
No bloodshed Suffrage floated
through on a flood of gore would be
too expensive. Mrs. Pankhurst, we
may all be sure will not use her in
fluence to arm her American sisters.

PROSPERITY.

The land is full of evidences Of good
times. In the Iron Age it is reported
that the railroads are handling at the
present time almost record breaking
movement of freight, the tonnage fall
ing but little short of high water mark
in 1907, with good prospects that all
records will be passed before the end
of the year. They have been giving
commodity shippers better service
within the last two years than ever
before in the history of American rail-
road traffic"
The October crop report of the gov
eminent indicates for 1909 a wheat
crop of 724,76S,OOO bushels. This crop
has been exceeded only twice before in
the history of this country. The oat
crop is great, and the corn crop, it is
said, will not be much short of that
harvested last year.
The Construction News of Chicago
in its summary of the building records
of American cities, shows that that
industry has recovered from the panic
of 1907. and that the increase ovel
last year in the value of new construc-
tion in forty-seven cities is % pei

Outside of the Steel issues the mar
ket has been featureless. Spectators
for the rise find few inducements in
view of the high prices of securities
and dearer rates for money. Traders
must content themselves with small

even more indifferent to the market ar
this level, their attitude being empha

ond speaker of the occasion, and was
greeted by a hearty hand that showed
in no uncertain manner the interest
