ANSWERS QUESTIONS ASKED
sUFFRAGETTEs BY SANDERS

Mr.. George Sanders, City: At the
meeting of the Votes for Women club
last evening you asked the question:
THE standard of civic purity will
rise or fall by the standard of the
home. Will that standard be lifted
higher when you get the right to vote ?"
As a resident of Denver, Col, where
suffrage for women has obtained for
the last seventeen years, allow men to
answer you by stating from my own
knowledge that the percentage of
votes from the better class Hill dis
trict in Denver runs from rs per cent
to as high as IS per cent of the total
women registration. whereas the vote
from the slums and the undesirable
districts, from the class of women re-
siding there, is as low as Is to 25 per
cent of the total registered vote of
women.
And I beg to quote the following
from the Denver Times:
Women have voted in Colorado for
years. Women form AZ per cent of
the population of Colorado. And wom-
en- cast, on an average, 4S per cent of
the total vote of Colorado. This does
not look as If the better class of women
shirked their duties as citizens. We
may add that the women of Colorado
vote intelligently; that they take pains
to inform themselves on the questions
at issue and that if you want correct
information on a whole group of legis-
lative activities in this state you want
to go to the women's clubs to get it," Il
take the above from the Literary Di-
gest of April 30, 1900
As to your suggestion quoted as
follows:
when you can go to the legislature
with a complete knowledge of the
American government and how to deal
with big subjects-then and then only
should you obtain complete suffrage"
I will state that If such requirement
were made of the men not over 10 per
cent, and possibly not over per cent,
of the present male voters of this
country would be eligible to vote; and
to get this vote it would be necessary
to include those highly educated along
special lines and possibly only law
yers, who have the thorough knowl-
edge of constitutional law which few
laymen and few even of the lawyers
possess; and this is also the opinion
of several attorneys of this city whom
| have interviewed on this subject.

tPaclnc outlook.)

(Pacinc Outlook.)
It really ought not to be necessary
for the Pacific outlook to offer any
suggestions to the Democrats of the
thirty-eighth senatorial district at this
particular juncture. 1t will, however,
offer a reminder.
one Henry Mcdonald, an old-time
Tammany Hall politician, who evident
ly has not forgotten the tricks he
learned In younger manhood, hopes to
put one over" the decent, independent
Democrats and Martin Bekins, one of
the most decent and independent of
them all eve did not intend to pay
Mr.. Bekjns a compliment, He does not
need one He is too well known to
require anything in the line of a tes-
timonial as to his character or the
correctness of his political views.)
Mcdonald evidently thought that by
hogging all the Democrats in the dis
trict. or nearly all of them, when he
put his nominating petitions in circu-
lation, and by letting the word go out
that every Democrat who signed his
petition was morally bound to support
him at the primaries he might be able
to put a crimp (1ammany Hall style)
in Mr. Bekins' prospects. The facts,
we presume, are familiar to most OF
the readers of this paper.
But we stray What we started to
say was that every Democrat in the
thirty eighth district who disapproves
OF the Introduction of the Mcdonald
Tammany Hall brand of political trick
cry into Los Angeles politics should
register that disapproval by giving
him the jolliest threshing any machine
politician has had in many day. And
the way to administer that walloping
is for every Democrat in the district
to make sure that his primary ballot
is marked for Martin Bekins.
Let all of us who are registered as
Democrats take a hand in the fun-for
1t will be bully sport to put the Nc
Donald aspirations to sleep for all
time.

MARTIN BEKINS

HARDLY seems necessary to ask
the Democrats of the 3Sth Sena-
n torial district to vote for Martin
Bekins as their nominee for the state
senate next Tuesday, when such a
man as "Muggins" Mcdonald is run
ming against him. When it is said of
Mcdonald that he was one of the most
ardent supporters of the dishonest and
discredited Harper when the recall
campaign against him was in progress,
the character of the man is fully eX-
posed.
He is a machine tool of the very
worst stripe, and his nomination would
be a disgrace to the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bekins is just the opposite of
Mcdonald in everything. No good
cause ever appealed in vain to Martin
Bekins for either personal or finan-
cial assistance.
He has given most generously both
of his time and money to the cause
of good government in his city and
state. He is a man of the highest
character and of much ability, and
would make an ideal state senator;
but it is just because Mcdonald is
so complete a servant of the machine
that he is dangerous.
The machine will see to it that every
voter whom it can influence goes to
the polls and casts his vote for Nc
Donald.
The decent Democrats of the 38th
district must see to it that enough of
them cast their votes for Martin Be
kins to nominate him and save the
party from the disgrace of putting
Mcdonald on it's ticket.

THE SILLY SEASON

While the ocean tides are flowing.
And the breezes cool are blowing
Here at home, some folks are going
To far-off countryside,
Where there's no accommodation
And it's hotter than tarnation,
And they call 1t vacation"
To be broiled and baked and fried.
If you ask them why they go there
Where it's forty miles from nowhere,
They can't give you any reason,
Only It's the silly season.
See her in her new creation"
Make bid for adm.rationi
See the looks of CONSERVATION
At the maiden cute and pert;
Every step or two she's stopping,
Then resumes her queer fiip-hopping,
Like a kangaroo she's hopping,
For she wears a hobble skirt
And she makes you think you've got en-
For it's tied around the bottom;
And there isn't any reason,
only it's the silly season.
Al the seashore folks are 1ocking
Where a mutt his boat is rocking;
See the beach costumes" -oh, shockingl-
Safe beyond the wavelet's swish!
While his pride is upward yelling
And his "skeeter' bites are swelling,
Hear the angler loudly telling
Gorgeous lies about fash.
II you ask them why they do 1t,
For there isn't any reason,
Only It's the silly season.

Three BURGLARIES
At GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 15.-Three
Third street stores in Grand Forks
were burglarized some time Thursday
night. In each instance the cash reg
lister seemed to be the sole object of
thought with the burglars, as valuable
stock that might easily have been car
ried away was left untouched
The places entered were the Model
clothing store, owned by M. G. Olson
the Dacotah pharmacy, in the same
building and owned by VIM. c. Bulge,
and the c. w. Johnson confectionery
store, 216 South Third street.
Whether the work was that Of one
man, or whether there were two or
three participating is uncertain, ex-
cept in the case of the Johnson burg
larry, where it appears that at least
two persons were implicated.
The Olson store and the Dacotah
pharmacy are both located in the
Ryan block on North Third street,
and these two jobs were undoubtedly
done by the same man, or it is pos
sible that two men did the. work, one
getting into each place, and that after
wards they went to the Johnson store.
Very little cash was obtained by the
burglars only about $40 being secured
in the three places. No effort was
made in any of the places to gain adj
mittance to the safes, while the
stocks of goods do not appear to have
been molested to any extent.

enter POSTOFFICE
But GET LITTLE
BURGLARS EVIDENTLY FROM
GRAND FoRKs-usED ONE
CHARGE ON SAFE WITH
OUT EFFECT.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 15.--Grand
Forks police authorities were notified
early this morning Of the robbery at
Maza, Towner county, Of the post
office and the finding Of certain articles
bearing initials which would indicate
that the perpetrators of the crime were
residents of this city.
The robbery yielded forth only
about $25 in cash, an attempt at
breaking the safe open with the use
of dynamite failing TO prove success
full, although the interior of the
strong box was completely wrecked
The postoffice is located in the
Ransfer & Johnson general store and
entrance was gained through a rear
door which had been opened after
a large hole had been bored through
to permit the insertion of the hand.
The cash drawers of both the postof-
flee and the store were opened, about
SIC being taken from the store till
and about 50 being obtained from the
postoffice till.
Just why the men left the safe aft
er using only one charge is uncertain,
but It is probable that they be-
came frightened. The charge was
poorly placed and that fact is re-
sponsible for the failure of it to blow
the doors out
In the office this morning small
aluminium drinking cup was found
bearing the initials 81. M. L., G. F.,
N. D." as well as handkerchiefs bear
ing the initials, 81. G. NJ" and 81. H
N"
These probably were left intention
ally by the burglars. but at any event
the police authorities believe that the
men implicated have been in Grand
Forks recently.
Evidence tends to show that the
burglars entered Maza some time dur
ing the night by team, and that they
drove out again also. Efforts are be-
ing made to find out whether or not
anyone went out of any of the neigh
boring towns during the night.

LITTLE BABE WAS
SHOOTING VICTIM
BOY YEAR OLD HAS LEG TORN
FROM BODY BY ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE FROM SHOT
GUN,

New England, N. D., Oct. IA sad
case Of accidental shooting occurred at
the home of Jake Branch, near Mid
way. George, the 1-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Branch, being the vic-
tim. The accident happened in the
morning and the child died at about
o'clock in the afternoon.
The child's uncle rushed in from the
yard to get the gun to shoot a hawk.
In taking the gun from the hooks where
it was hanging the weapon was dis
charged and the full load struck the
little boy, who happened to be playing
on the floor, in the leg. The child was
so small that the leg was literally torn
from it's body. Everything possible
was done to save the babys life, but
the wound and the shock were too
much for such a small child and the
little fellow breathed his last at about
2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The bereaved family are crazed with
grief and for a time 1t was feared that
Mrs. Brauch's brother, in whose hands
the gun was held at the fatal moment,
would lose his mind altogether.

EnderIin Farmer Meets With Shocking
Accident in Runaway - Was
Found Unconscious.

front of the old Void farm west of
town in an unconscious condition,
Medical aid was Immediately sum-
moned and in a few minutes DR..
Strong and Theo Torgerson's were on
the scene with Mr.. Torgersons auto
and brought him to DIR. Strong's
hospital. Mr.. Wallace's team was
found tangled up in a wire fence near
at hand and a heavy farm wagon
which he had been driving was near
where the accident occurred.
Mr.. Galbreath had left home that
morning with the intention of coming
to town to get some potatoes and it is
thought the accident was caused by
trees, allowing it to fall against the
legs of one of the horses, which be-
came frightened and the team began
to run. The tongue then dropped from
the neckyoke and stuck into the
ground, throwing the unfortunate man
violently a considerable distance. One
ear was almost severed from his head
and numerous bruises were upon the
body, but what seemed to be the most
serious injury was the spine, as the
lower part of the body was entirely
paralyzed.
AS soon as possible after the acct
dent DR.. Strong made a thorough ex-
animation of Mr.. GaIbreath's condition
and found a conclusion of the brain
and fracture Of one of the vertebrate.

success in this line of work. The pigs
at Devils Lake have been far from
nlind during the larger portion of the
last two years and this is true in re-
gard to the illegal sale of LIQUOR in
many other localities
This grand stand play of the present
administration is not confined entirely
TO the pigs. Some two and a half years
or three years ago some complaints
were made that the Standard Oil Co.
was violating the law and endeavor-
ing to freeze out the other concerns
by selling oil at much lower prices in
some portions OF the state than else
where. Evidence was obtained and
Attorney General McCue commenced
proceedings before the secretary of
state to cancel the authority of the
STANDARD Oil Co. to do business in the
state The company secured a tenn
porary injunction from Judge Win
chester prohibiting the secretary OF
state from taking action nthis petit
tlon, but when 1t came to the hearing
the temporary injunction was dissolved
as the evidence presented by the Mar
shall Oil Co. of Fargo was so con-
elusive. The Standard Oil Co. appealed
to the supreme court and this case has
been pending during the entire two
years that General Miller has been in
office. No action has been taken
thereon.
The people of the state feel that this
case should have been called up, as
other important matters hinge upon
the decision in this case.
