progressive and most scientific laws
relating to the child to be found on
any statute books in the world. "
Because since the enfranchisement
of Colorado women fifty towns, twelve
counties and the principal residence
portions of Denver, its largest city,
have been put under prohibition.
Because I have never observed an
instance where the use of the ballot
has caused woman to lose any of her
womanliness, or to neglect her home.
Because by denying women the bal
lot our political system places Ameri-
can women in the same class as other
unfranchised members of society, viz.
minors, aliens, illiterates, imbeciles,
idiots and criminals.
Because the denial to woman of the
right to vote violates the fundament-
al American doctrine that there shall
be no taxation without representa-
tion.
Because since there is no sex dis
tinction in the enforcement Of law,
there should be none in the enact
ment Of law.
Because the solution of America s
political problems, municipal, state
and national, needs the active assist
ance, through the ballot, Of American
womahood.
Because, tested by actual expert.
ence, equal suffrage means bettei
laws, better candidates, better gov,
ernment and consequently a better
society.

HOOD RIVER APPLES FOR THE
EDITOR.

Our old and highly esteemed friend,
Colonel Charles G. Pratt, who was
formerly in the lumber business at
Parker, but now prominent banker
at Hood River, Oregon, kindly re-
membered the editor and family by
sending them a box of the famous
Hood River apples, which arrived safe
by express last Saturday. The apples
are the finest grown in any country
and such beauties. They were shipped
October "A and arrived here on the
18th, and it Is needless to say that
the Linn family will have apples in
al styles for awhile.
Col. Pratt is at the head of the
Hood River Banking and Trust Co.,
with his son Robert as cashier, and
money enough to buy county. The
Colonel reports all the Pratts in
splendid health including Bob's two
sons and a daughter, with business
good and the country booming. There
is nothing sweeter in life than the re-
membrance of old friends friends we
love.

Charles City, Iowa, we are convinced
that Mr.. Knowlton will have to
double the size of his factory inside OF
five years and that he will be employing
from 100 to $50 men in five years from
the day he blows the first work whistle.
One great advantage that Mr..
Knowlton will have over his compet-
itors everywhere will be the moderate
price OF this engine, because he In
tends to sell at a reasonable price
above actual cost, and his location
gives him the best territory in the
northwest.
The LEADER welcomes Mr.. Knowl-
ton and his factory because the fac
tory will be a good thing for the town,
good thing for all interested in 1t,
! and will provide a splendid engine at
a moderate price.

Canton Episcopal Church to Resume
Services.
Services.

TO the Editor of the Canton LEADER:
My Dear Sir: After an absence OF
eleven years since my pastorate In
Sioux Falls, have returned to South
Dakota, on the invitation of Bishop
johnson, to undertake the work of his
General Missionary. One of my first
and most pleasure BILE duties is to re.
sume the services Of the Episcopal
church in Canton, which has lain fal.
low for number of years. have OBJ.
served wonderful growth in South
Dakota meanwhile, and notably in
Canton, which has become by its
tasteful dwellings and ample grounds,
one of the most agreeable places OF
residence in this goodly state. l shall
endeavor to give it services worthy of
Its honorable name and it's hospitable
people.
l wish to indicate my purpose of
promoting christian fellowship rather
| than of engendering rival cOmpeti-
tion. TO this end l hope to cooper
ate with my brother pastors and their
people in furthering christian stand
ards and fraternal unity and shall be
at their service in any common enter
prise for religious and social welfare.
The churches of the land have ex-
hibited marked advances in the pro-
| motion of reasonable utilization in our
common christian responsibilities to
this great, growing country, and we
have much in common with the edu-
cational, industrial and political pro-
gress of the times. Together we can
do much TO make our country the
"home of the free" in education, gov.
ernment and religion.
To begin my small part to further
this object, there will be services in
the Episcopal church of Canton on
Sunday evenings, alternate Sundays
of the month";, commencing Nov. 6.
and my invitation is simply this:
1--WE invite you to make the church
Of God the House Of Prayer to all
people,
Without sectarian Limitations.
One in loyalty to Christ
And the welfare of the whole people. u
l am sincerely,
THOs. LEGATE FISHER,
General State Missionary.

A Few Reasons For Equal Suffrage

Because Colorado's experience has
shown that the vast majority OF
women can and will exercise the priv

conscientiously and intelligently.
Because 1 have unbounded conf

Because there is no logical reason
why half the American race should
be denied voice in making the laws
by which the whole race is governed. !.
Because since their enfranchise-
ment the women Of Colorado have
caused to be placed among the stat

Many Of the forest folk are very
fond Of music and seem to take a.
much pleasure in it as we do our
selves. A young blue jay at one
time spent two months % . guest
in my home. We Ill know what
harsh voices the jays have. Did
any one ever hear jay sing .
sweet, tuneful little song, I won
der? While the small jay lived
with me it was my custom to prac-
tice singing for half IN hour every
morning. No sooner had I seated
myself at the piano and struck >
few chords than "J-J" hoped over
the doorsill and settled himself on
the rung Of . nearby chair.
BE listened with rapt attention,
and after q few days he tried . bit
Of song himself. At first I had to
stop and laugh, his performances
vas so amusing. But after a few
weeks practice he could sing very
sweetly-not exactly the tunes he
heard, but little ones that he made
up as he went along. II any noise
pleased him he began to sing. A
heavy thunder shower or the whir
of the sewing machine always
moved him to express his delight in
song.
More than 200 years ago q young
violinist. Isidore Berthaume, was
obliged to practice on his violin
many hours daily. One day he saw
. spider peeping at him from it,
crack in the wall. Soon it ventured
forth, and every day it grew q little
holder, drawn ir1elstibly BY the
sweet sounds from Isidore's fiddle.
At last one day the boy had the
great pleasure Of seeing the spider
take its place on his bow arm. Pres
emily his stepmother, coming int
the room and seeing the SPIDER
killed it with blow Of her slipper
The death of his pet was such
blow to the boy that he fell faint
ing to the floor and was i'll fol
