Ten years ago the prediction was
made that with the general use of
the automobile horses would cease
to ind any demand. Today there
are thousands of automobiles in all
parts of the country and horses are
worth twice what they we're before

is therefore evident that II the auto

She can talk in French and German,
she can paint and she can sing.
Beautiful? She's like picture!
When she talks she, makes you

Of the sweetest kind of music, and
she doesn't smoke or drink.
Oh, can't begin to tell you all the

She knows more than half the law

When my pa is, writing letters, ma
must always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to
make his meaning clear.
II he needs advice, her judgment, he
admits, Is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers,
mostly at his own request.
She keeps track Of legislation, and is
taxed on bonds and stocks,
But she never gets look-in at the
sacred ballot box r..
Ma is wiser than an our coachman,
for he's not a graduate, Al.
And l doubt if he could tell you who

He has never studied grammar. and
I'll bet he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived a thousand OF

He could never tell us how to keep

That was on the tariff question; h.

But before they'd finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about 1t, O..

He's too badly rushed to study how

Still he looms up like giant when

Taking care Of her six cnlIdren, tho

When he gets a job he only holds it
till he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whiskey,
or else CANDLES it away.

And he'd trade his ballot for drink
but ma can't vote!

MORE TESTIMONY
FROM COLORADO

Prof, Harry E. Kelly, formerly of
the Iowa, State University, now prac-
Fticing law. in Denver, has addressed
an open letter to State Senator A.
H. Gale Of Iowa, giving his observa-
tions on equal suffrage. Prof. Kelly
says IN part:
Since came to Colorado, you
have frequently requested me to state
my opinion on woman suffrage. !
came here with very little interest
in the subject, and perhaps very lit
tie respect for it. Having resided in
Colorado for nearly seven years, and
having observed the political and
social conditions here, / have rather
unconsciously arrived at an opinion.
The great value of woman suffrage
consists In this, that it gives dynamic
force to fresh and vital interest in
the state. Women are not much
concerned with mere partisan pol
tiles; and experience in the states
where woman suffrage is in force
clearly shows that the interest cannot
be aroused in mere partisan strife
But they are interested in the Ques-
tons which we may call more dis
tinctly social, Their interests center
around questions affecting eduaRtion,
public cleanliness, public ADRality,
civic beauty, charities and7 correc-
ton, public health, public libraries
and such subjects as more ultimately
affect home life, and conduce to the
prosperity OF the family. + do not
say that men are not interested in
such subjects, for that would be I'M
true; but l do say that such an in
terest is fundamental IN the intel
lectual, activity lof~~omen. Men lose
sight of thess important considera-
tons in the ,Seramble of partisan war
fare for of1ces, but women will not
see them obscured by anything.
One of the arguments against wo-
man suffrage was that it would create
.discord in the family. Colorado has
never heard of a case of family dis
cord that was even alleged to have
originated In woman suffrage. The
members of family are inclined to
stand together upon political ques-
tons; much as they are upon re-
ligious questions; but this fact broad
ems the family interest in public at
fairs, because women, disregarding
Inc lAnCAO SC1dAnUlo AOE uuCcs u1HSSS
the family interest along the line of
social questions, in addition to the
interest In partisan politics. So I
would say that, while woman suf-
frage increases the number of votes.
it gives US an increased breadth Of
public interest in social welfare.
Neither has woman suffrage rendered
politics attractive to women as Yo-
cation, nor has it hadany other effeet
on their character than to multiply
their social interests. and widen their

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IT'S RELA.
TON TO WORKING WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.
BY Florence Kelley.

by Florence Kelley.
Never before in the history OF the
human race have children and young
women formed, as they do today, an
important part Of the working force
of great industrial communities who'll
~ apart from their parents and the
family life
In the telephone and telegraph
service something like q revolution
would be caused If suddenly all the
young people under the age OF TWEEN
ty-one were withdrawn. In. retail
| trade the cash children, bundIe-girls
wrappers and junior clerks are an
extremely important part of the
whole working force.
| Every improvement In machinery
and in industrial organization tends
to summon to the ranks. Of industry
an Increasing number Of young re-
cruits. q
| How long these young workers
snail be employed in day may be
literally matter Of life and death
for. them. Within my own acquaint-
ance more than one, young girl has
died of pneumonia, rheumatism, tu-
berculosis, due directly to overtime
work with the accompanying exhaus-
| ton and loss of power to resist dis
ease. !
| Now the health, morals and intel
ligence of the rising generation are
peculiarly objects of solicitude of
women. To deprive women of an CO.
ual share of power to determine
the laws for these young workers is
to give cruelty unequal power to sor-
did employers.
This is illustrated by the twelve
years effort of the Consumers
League OF New York to obtain eff
fective enforcement of the Mercan-
tile Employers Law. Agitation,
petitions, white lists, have all been
used. Yet the law, passed In 1896,
has not, in 1908, been made effect
i've. If the Legislators who. year af-
ter year, have failed to give the
State Commissioner of Lobor power
to enforce this law, had been forced
to depend for their continued polit-
ical career upon the votes of women,
this endorsing bill could never have
been kept indefinitely banging, which
must pass before the mercantile en-
ployees can receive the same ad-
vantages which were long since OBJ
| Lalned Tor FACTORY workers.
| In the manufacture, older men
form larger part of the total work
ing force than in retail trade. And
the older men are voters. Factory
laws are obtained, therefore, with
I'greater ease than workable laws for
safeguarding the health and welfare
of children and young girls.
A sinister chapter to which too
1 little attention has hitherto been
paid is the failure of our legislatures
fand courts to afford TO young girls pro-
1 lection from seduction, assault and
enslavement in Infamous houses.
The. dificulty involved in obtaining
conviction of Indicators is known
only to- the few faithful souls who
have attempted to obtain due punish
ment Of these grave offenses. Moth
ers in any community are more deep
ly stirred by these offenses than by
any others, but Judges and juries
wary beyond belief in their treat
mentt of criminals guilty of crimes
against girls.

intellectual horizon. Their right to
vote has not made, them less dutiful
as wives and mothers. If any woman
in Colorado is bold and brazen, she is
not so on account of woman suffrage.
In fact, women of that character may
be found even in Iowa. And efim-
mate men are scattered around over
the globe, irrespective of the extent
or character Of the suffrage.
1t is commended that women do not
wish to vote. The women in Colorado
are not Office seekers, but they vote
solidly when there is anything IN a
campaign that appeals to their inter
est, and in all elections their vote is
large. Among them, of course, there
are some bad women, just as among
men there are some bad men. But
apprehend that nobody has any

AN ECONOMY OF TIME.

Though busy teacher, find time
each term to make myself many

waists. This 1 accomplish very easily
in the following manner: On Satur-
day 1 cut out, haste and do the
rougher machi~e work of any gar
ment or garments which may wish
to make during the following week,
being careful to cut out every piece
needed in the making Of each gar
ment. Then l place each separate lot
of work in a box, being careful to
leave everything needed to finish
work-needle, thread, buttons. tape,
etc. 1 have a sewing apron with big
pockets, which always holds my
thimble. shears, tape measure, bast-
ing thread. In this way when, after
supper, an evenings sewing is ahead
of me, / only have to take my box,

That prices of food were not always

Guest, who arrived in Cincinnati from
the east in 1923 and took careful note
of many things he saw, including the
market. He totted his observations
down in his journal, which was later
published. and this interesting bit of
information was culled from its pages:

which occurred at Suburban island
and in which several people were more
or less bruised by flying beer and pop
bottles and in hand to hand encoun-
tiers, the police have arrested three
young men who are being held until a
thorough investigation can be made
into the affair. Those under arrest
are Harry Thomas, Albert Stems and
John Thomas, and it is thought that
several more arrests will be made.
The first two men were caught by De-
