sixteen years and where seventy per
cent of the women vote, men aud wo-
men receive equal pay for equal work.
This prevents women undertaking
men in the labor market and tends to
the construction of such satisfying
homes as can exist only when the
house smother finds her chief pursuit
in home making. The rightly consti-
tuted home Is the corner stone OF nat
ional prosperity.
l6. All questions concerning the
vital interests of the home ultimately
become political questions. About
such questions women have fullest un-
detrsandinR. Those who know most
about matter should have a voice in
decisions concerning it
II. Laws are made for average
men and women. and each class, Sec
tion, vocation ana sex best know what
is good for itself. Those who are
most affected by question are those
who take greatest interest in voting
upon it. That those who know most
about matter should be the ones to
decide it, conduces to the general well
fare. That enfranchised women do
not always vote upon all questions
submitted is an evidence of their WIS.,
dom rather than of their Indifference
to the common veal. To vote is to
express an opinion. and to hold an
opinion about that of which one knows
nothing Is q sort of immortality. Wo-
mans alleged abstentation from the
polls should encourage men to enfran-
chise her.
10. Women have need of every
means of self-defense. including the
ballot. 1t is not true that men pro
tect women. The 100000 "white
slaves'' in this country disprove it.
The fact that in three fourrhs of the
States women lose control of their
own property upon their marriage day,
disproves it. There is but one state
where women have equal legal rights
with men, aud that is the state where
women have voted since 1898. Any
person who lacks due legal protection
is apt to become ultimately loser
through the cupidity. the PASSIONS, or
the neglect of others.
10. eff you want thing we'll
done, do it YOURSELF" is maxim
that is as applicable to voting as it is
to any business undertaking.
20. The consequences of injustice
are always far-reaching and terrible.
One portion of the human family has
held the other in legal subsection
through centuries uncounted. and the
world as a whole is sad. It might be
we'll to try to be just. and see what
would come of it. Only good has
come in New Zealand. Australia.
England. Canada, Wyoming, Oolora-
do. Kansas. Utah, and Idaho, where
hundreds of eminent men have testi-
fied to the excellence of the results Of
enfranchising women.

A Philadelphia newspaper has ad
vised the farmers of Pennsylvania and
the East to visit the orchards of the
Northwest, to learn a lesson in fruit
culture. 1t contends that they can
raise Just as fine quality of apples
on the Atlantic coast, if proper care
is taken to prevent diseses and pests.
Attention is also called to the attrac-
tive manner in which Washington and
Oregon apples are sorted and packed,
whereas the eastern fruit is dumped in
to barrel. 1t concludes that this is
only one of the many lessons that the
eastern farmer can learn from his wes-
tern brother.

South Sea Cannibalism.

shocking tale OF cannibalism comes
from the south seas by way OF the west
ern coast of this country. tale which
revives memories of long discontinued
practices 1t was hoped that the man
eaters of the Pacific islands had been
suflciently imbued with the elementary
principles OF civilization to wean them
from their ancient rites and orgies, their
human sacrifices and above all their hor-
rlble indulgences. But this account OF mas
sacre indicates otherwise, and further
more points 10 an outbreak of aboriginal
superstition and savagery that may sweep
through the islands and give great
trouble TO the advance agents OF civiliza-

to bring these people into enlightenment.

be revived throughout the great archi-
pelago for any prolonged period. Re-

manded their strongest man he was
transferred to another field Of usefulness.

Or with Hughes as a senatorial quantity,
their control of the legislature would
have been a certainty. But fate, or what

known him once Will know him no more

II is easily true of course. that the
gubernatorial candidate must be in SYM

Hughes policies. No republican recog-
nized as anti-Hughes. either by word or
