On the Rocks.

Margaret Deland says that cant
phrases about the hand that rocks the
cradle being unfit or unable to cast
ballot are as silly as they are un-
convincing. If the hand is so foolish
or so incapable as that, it is more
dangerous to the state to trust a era
die to it than to trust ballot. No;
her objection is only on the ground Of
expediency; all things are lawful-to
60 back to st. Paul-but all things are
not expedient. If there could be a
qualified suffrage for men and women,
the case might beidiYferent. But the
unqualified men won't give up what
they have got. and the unqualified
women are trying to get what they
don't deserve-so there you are!

Perhaps one of the reasons that
we Americans are coming to be a be
specialized race is that we don't stay
on earth long enough. Mrs. Betsey
Forster Of Sutton, who celebrated
her Tooth birthday anniversary this
week, has discarded her glasses. It
will also be remembered that Mrs.
Hannah Hadaway, who passed away
in the town of Rupert some months
ago at the age of 1O1 years, was ae-
customed to read the daily papers
and much current fiction, after she
had passed the century mark, without
any assistance from the optician. The
real solution Of the anomaly, how
ever, probably lies in the fact that
both women passed large portion Of
their lives under conditions that par
alleled the circumstances which pre-
vailed in this state during pioneer
days, when the hardships were of the
kind that hardened the people In
stead of the nervous rackings which
today fret away all the physical
senses and wear out both mind and
body before their time.
