NO BABIES, NO BALLOTS.

OTTAWA, Ontario, November A.
With tales of suffrage violence coming
over the sea and Mrs. Pankhurst on
her way to preach equality, the Com
moners of Canada are rather taking
freight.
Mr.. E. N. Lewis, NJ. P. for West
Huron, tonight warned his fellow mem
bers that real fire was in the embers
of the movement that the women were
starting for the trimming of the wings
of masculine control. He urged ac-
ton bold to meet the situation which
was forced on the nation. At present
the spinsters can vote, he told the mia
listers, if they are owners of little
farm or city. lot, but as a general propo-
sition he would lay down this eondi-
tion:-"No babies, NO ballots.''

ABOUT COUNTY DIVISION
Movement Against the Proposition
Has Been Organized.

A we'll attended meeting Of the Rocky
Ford Board of Trade was held on Satur-
day afternoon for the purpose Of hearing
the report of the committee that had been
appointed to investigate the proposition Of
county division and to take some definite
action upon the question.
The COMMITTEES reported. in their opinion
no beneficial results could be secured
even by the North siders through county
division and they could not favor the
proposition. The sentiment Of all seemed
to be that no good would come to sithsr
side by division and that il was very
poor policy to create two sseond-rats
counties out Of one with the prestige now
accorded to otsro county. and on motion
the chairman was instructed to telegraph
Senator Crowley and Representative Nc
caskill that the Rocky Ford Board Of
Trade unanimously protested against q
division Of the county.
A motion was also carried that COM
mittee be appointed to arrange for a
meeting in this city on Tuesday morning
Of the several commercial bodies south Of
the river. Messrs. l. D. Hale. C-J. Cover.
W. c. Steele. g. M. Hall and H. J. Sprin-
ker was appointed.
On motion a committee consisting Of
Messrs. Paul M. North. R. p. Collins and
T. H. Stratton was appointed to take
charge Of the petitions Of protest and re-
port progress at Tuesdays meeting Of
representatives.
Pursuant to call delegates from the
several commercial bodies assembled In
this city Tuesday morning. as follows:
La Junta Industrial Association r.
Phillips. WE. Andrews and J. W. Fisher.
Fowler Commercial Club-A. S. Mar

G. M. Hall. W. c. Steele and H. J. Sprin-
ker.
Mr.. Sprinkler presided as chairman Of
the meeting and Mr.. Phillips Of La Junta
acted as secretary.
Reports were received from the various
committees having charge Of the petitions
against the division and showed that the
sentiment was practically unanimous
south OF the river with the likelihood o.
about an even break upon the north side.
BY unanimous vote resolution was
adopted ttat our county representatives
be informed Of the united acton against
county division.
The following committee was then ap-
pointed to carry on the work Of a united
County in their respective localities:

England. whom he has previously
saved from drowning. He receives
little encouragement. but is dcterm-
ined. In this act he quarrcls with
