WOMAN SUFFRAGE
AS SEEN BY OUIDA
Famous Novelist Wrote Of It
Is Years Ago
SHE WAS AGAINST IDEA
She Declares That Members of Her
Sex Want Privileges Without
the Attendant Liabilities.
Love VS.. Avarice.
SHE WAS AGAINST IDEA

London, July 17-More than % years
ago "ouida" wrote two papers, entitled,
''Shall Women Voter" and Love vs. Az
arice." and sold them with the stipulation
that they should be withheld from the
public until after her death. They are
now published in the June number of the
National Review.
IF equality in privileges be taken"
wrote the famous novelist, "equalities in
liabilities must be enforced also. Are
women to go to this extreme, to become
soldiers If they become surgeons; to be-
come sailors IL they become statesmen
We doubt If they are prepared to reach
this length, but unless they are, the de-
sire for equality with men is only an
other phase of the desire for every priv
ilege and the exemption from every PEN
atty.
1.-THE cry for equality with men is
much the same thing as the roughs' cry
for equality in government In both in
stances the rights of citizenship are de-
manded, but the responsibilities of citi-
Eenship are shirked The woman demands
the exercise of political power; the rough
does tho same; but as the rough will not
relinquish his enjoyment Of lawlessness
and license, SO the woman will not re-
linquish her claim on social difference and
social precedence.
Briefly the case stands thus: can
enlightened and honorable man must
submit to be jostled and trampled by
the one, and must stand aside deferen-
TALLY with hat in hand for the other
and Is only in return to have invaded
and snatched away the few civil su-
periorities to both that he has h 18th erto
enjoyed. Who can say that this is
just?
What can be more absurd or more
unjust than that women should bully
their way into their national parlia-
ments, share In the public administra-
lions, fight in the rough and tumble
of public contests, and take the place
OF men In every profession and pur-
suit, yet all the while claim the pas
by virtue of their sex and exact that
abdication in their favor which has
been conceded to them out of reyer-
ence for the very inequality they so
scornfully repudiate?
For a woman to state that she has
the right to knock you out of your
seat in Congress or parliament and
occupy your place herself, yet that she
has also the right to expect you to
give up your seat in a railway car
riage and stand for her accommodation
throughout a journey of hours, is a
form of oppression as absurd as it is
illogical The strength that can
achieve the political conquest and the
weakness that can exact the social
courtesy cannot possibly be leash ed to-
gether"

Called Home.

On Friday of last week Lourissa
May, fourth daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. Bell, succumbed to the
dread disease, consumption, from
which she has been a patitnt suf-
ferer for over a year. ''Toots" as
she was faniliarly called by her
associates, was born in Williston
eighteen years ago and was raised
here. She was known and loved
by all the ''old timers. - Her
sunny cheerful ways made friends
for her wherever she chanced to
be and her genuine sterling good
ness kept the friends she made.
The funeral was held in the home
and the large number in attend
ance and the quantities of beauti-
full flowers testified to the loving
sympathy of the community for
the bereaved family.

TRANSFERRED TO I
new JAIL MONDAY
TRANSFERS FIVE PRISONERS
TO new JAIL MONDAY NIGHT
TRIED TO DIG OUT.

Sheriff Olson transferred five of
his prisoners into the new Jail
Monday evening and the others,
about twelve in number, will be
transferred the last of the week.
The five men placed in the Jail
Monday night we're the two U. S.
prisoners, VIM. Hicks colored,
and Paul Fade, Kid Trailer, Pat
Cannon and Frank Gibbs. The
sheriff and deputies had discov-
cred that these men we're planning
to escape and had already done
some digging. They evidently
figured that the new Jail would
not be ready until the latter part
of the week and were greatly dis
appointed when moved Monday.
Most people are anxious to move
into q new house but not so with
this qulntette. The new Jail is a
dandy and the prisoners are pris-
oners indeed when placed behind
the bars.
Sheriff Olson expects to move
into the residence part of the Jail
about the first of August.

BISHOP STANLEY
DIED AT FARGO
PROMINENT CATHOLIC BISHOP DIED
FROM HEART TROUBLE FRIDAY.
FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM.

Fargo, N. D., July 17.-Bishop
Stanley of Catholic church of N.
D., was found dead in his room
late yesterday. His demise had
occurred several hours before and
riger mortis had set in. He re-
tired at IL Thursday night, and as
it was his custom frequently to
work all night and sleep until the
afternoon of the next day, his
household didn't disturb him yes
terday afternoon. His non-ap-
pearance frightened his private
secretary, Father O'Driscoll, who
called vicar general Egan. They
went to the bishops room and
found his corpse. The bishop
had been suffering from heart
trouble for some months and re-
Gently returned from three months
tour of Europe. Since then he
had been busy on matters that had
accumulated, and with the publi-
cation of his official church paper,
the Bulletin.
He returned from Devils Lake
Wednesday night rather exhaust
ed from heat, and his activities in
connection with the Indian con-
gress, where he made an address.
He was down town during the day
on Thursday, and complained of
feeling i'll, but not seriously so.
He was a nephew of Archbishop
Ireland of St. Paul, and was bish-
op here for twenty years. He
was 81 years old.

MCahan's Successor.

Washington, July II. - The
president nominated Thomas E..
Obgard as register of the land Of
fee at Minot, N. d., to succeed l..
D. Mccain, who resigned. Nc
Gain was under charges of show
ing favoriteism in giving out pub
fishing contracts.
Relative to the appointment the
following statement was given out
in Senator McCumber's Office:
'Mr. Obgard is the special ap-
pointmentee of Senator johnson.
Senator McCumber joined in the
recommendation and even asked
that one of the men to whom he
had given a previous promise for
a like position should wait until
there was some other vacancy.
The two North Dakota senators
propose to act together and to
recognize the rights of each other
in all matters pertaining to North
Dakota appointments. Mr. Oh
gard held the same position one
term under Harrison and another
term under Mckinley. His rec
ord was found by the department
to be excellent"

ASYLUM EMPLOYEE
COMMITS SUICIDE
{. O. M00RES, AN ASYLUM ATTEND.
ANT, BLOWS OFF THE TOP OF
HIS HEAD WITH REVOLVER.

jamestown, N. D.. July 49,
Clifton O. Moores, an attendant
at the state hospital for the insane
near Jamestown, committed sui
eide Thursday morning by shoot
ing himself in the head with a re-
volver. He was dead when other
attendants reached his room a few
minutes after the shot was fired.
Moores came to the institution
in 1904 and a year later was en-
ployed as an attendant; a position
which he filled until the time of
his death. For some time past he
had been suffering with a malig-
nant tumor of the eye and this, it
is thought, may have had some
thing to do with his killing him
self.
A pathetic touch was lent to the
suicide by the fact that the young
mans mother had arrived on Tues
day from Saginaw, Mich, and the
two had planned to leave at noon
Thursday for their home. Tick
cts had been bought and every
thing was ready for departure
when he fired the fatal shot.

The Retail Merchants Associa-

nual meeting in this city last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
and merchants from almost every
county in the state we're in at

of interest. Automobiles were Sc
cured and the merchants visited
the Government power house,
looked over the irrigation project,

ULTllATUM FROM
PRESIDENT TAFT
STATEMENT ISSUED LATE YESTERDAY
FROM White HOUSE CAUSES EX-
C[TEMENT AT CAPITAL.

Washington, July 17.-Presi-
dent Taft's emphatic declaration
yesterday that he regarded the re-
publican platform as meaning, and
the sentiment of the whole people
as demanding a revision down.
ward,' eclipse in interest all minor
and specific details of the tariff
struggle in all circles here today.
The statement issued late in the
day, after the delegation of con-
gressmen had appealed to the pres
ident for the maintenance of pro-
lection upon raw materials, par
ticularly iron ore, wool, hides,
oil and lumber, purported to be
an outline report of the discussion
which took place during the visit
of the delegation and especially of
what the president said to the Wis
itors. But the very fact that
such a statement was issued at all,
and in particular, the emphatic
conclusion of the remarks of the
president thus reiterated, made it
clear to all who studied pronounce
ment that the president intends it
virtually as an ultimatum.
Many read into the statement
the barely concealed threat on the
part of the president, that if the
bill reached him in the form
which he regarded as unfaithful to
the promises of his party and dis
obedient to the sentiment of the
mass of the people, he would veto
it.

Used Mud Telegraph Poles.

What a writer calls "the most orr.
8inal telegraph line in the world" once
extended between the city OF La Paz,
the capital Of Bolivia, and the town of
Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there
arc no growing trees and wood is so
difficult to procure that even the ordin.
airy household furniture Of the natives
Is invariably made, not of wood, but
OF dried mud. or adobe, as 1t Is called.
When the war broke out in 1880 be-.
tween Chile, and Bolivia this material
was used to construct pillars to take
the place Of ordinary. posts for sup
porting telegraph wire, with the addi-
ton OF old bottles as insulators. These
pillars were subsequently built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base, with q
height Of about Is feet. They were
placed at intervals Of about 361 feet,
and thus held the wire at height suf
ficient to clear the only animals of the
country, the lama and donkey. The
total length Of the line was 1856 miles
and 1t rendered useful service for
some ten years before being replaced
by wooden telegraph-pole line.
