EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

A correspondent asks, "Are you in
favor of woman suffrage?"
Yes
There is no good argument against
equal suffrage and many for it.
With most thinking people, however,
the question has passed beyond the
mere right of women to vote 1t is
a question of the need of women's
vote to help settle many Of the prob
lens that press for solution.
Such, for instance, as
The protection of the home, the
housekeeping of cities and towns, the
security Of labor, the. treatment of de-
linquent children and many others.
The labor unions understand this, and
they strongly favor equal suffrage.
The question has come to the place
of the duty of women to vote

country deserve the credit for the pas.

In Colorado, where women vote,
Judge Lindsey tells us how when both

juvenile court and do his work of
child saving.

In Norway, Sweden, Australia, New
Zealand, as well as in Colorado, Utah,

need Of a reform by the character of
its opponents.

Broom Corn In Anerica.

Brooms and brushes were made Of
Guinea wheat in Italy nearly two cen
turtles ago. Benjamin Franklin, who
was ever quick to see and to develop
anything that would benefit his native
country, noted a few seeds of broom
corn hanging on an imported brush
He planted these seeds and raised
some of the corn, and Thomas Jeffer~
son placed broom corn among the pro
ductions Of Virginia in 1871. BY this
time many people had planted it. but
no systematic plan Of raising broom
corn for the manufacture of brooms
was made until 1888, when Levi Dick
enson, a Yankee farmer of Hadley,
Mass, planted half an acre. From this
he made between one and two hundred
brooms, which he peddIed in a horse
cart in neighb0ring towns. The in
dustry with him continued to progress,
and finally in 1905 he was not only car
rying brooms to Pittsburg and New
London, but to Albany and Boston. So
rapid was the increase of manufacture
that in 1910 10000 brooms were made
in the country.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

Luck?
There is no such thing
That is to say, in this well ordered
! universe what is known as luck is
merely an accident. And even as to
accidents the rule holds good that
Nothing happens without cause
To rely upon chance or luck is to
rely upon something that may never
happen.
Events in this world are governed
by the infexible rule of fixed laws.
There is no fate.

could not understand Exhibition of
this power he traced to self wilIed no.
tiOns of some cratic divinity.
Therefore superstition.
Therefore the consulting of sibyls
and oraCles by the ancients and, by
the same token, the patronage Of palm
lists and fortune tellers by the moderns
If you merely hope for something
to turn up you are indulging il the
vagaries Of dreamland. If you rest on
the hazard of mere chance you risk
ruin.
Facts rule events.
If you fail do not rail at your luck
Blame yourself
If you, the captain on the deck of
Destiny, run your vessel on the rocks,
either it is the fault of your charts or
your lack of seamanship.
If you go adrift and without a
knowledge of navigation your bark

Belief in luck ruins men
Belief in God, in self, in just and
righteous laws makes men.
It you persist in depending upon
signs" and peril your future on the
jeopardy of speculation what may you
expect?
And note this:
The man who risks his fortune on
the turn of Il wheel can have no rev
erent or trusting mind and no proper
self respect, because he believes only
in luck" and the god Of luck will
betray him
He is ignorant
The wise man believes in natural
causes and effects, natural laws and

Noticing a passenger with the end of

HIS t1RE Am.
by EDWIN A.. NYE

HIS DREAM
The boy dreamed
And as he dreamed his face was
Sighted by thp light that never was on
hand or sea the light that never throws
a shadow
When he aWoke his face was stained
with tears, and he cried out from d
aeart that was soroty vexed:
MY dream! | have lost my pretty
DREAM
What had he dreamed? Why, he
had dreamed of the grownup world,
and to him it looked like a gGittering
pageant seen through the ever shifting
Kaleidoscope Of his boyish vision.
And there were mirages lifting many
fronded palm and turreted castles Of
fancy.
In the land Of the grownups he had
shared in the tolls of men and had won
success and fame and fair lady, and
When he awoke 1t is not strange that
he should have sobbed and cried:
Fl want my dream!"
And the years came and swiftly slid
away What of the boyish dream?
Why. many of the mirages were dis
solved and the castles fallen to the
ground, and the rivers of fancy had
almost lost their runnels in life's des-
ert places
But some of the dreams came true.
He won the things he IOnged for, and
he saw the gIittering pageantry of life,
and he won the fair lady and all that
most he wanted.
And even more than he dreamed he
had-the plaudits of the crowd and
aonored place.
And yet!
Years afterward he dreamed again.
and again the shadowless light lin
gered on his face as he slept And the
watchers by his bedside saw the boy
Ssh smile, And they wondered why.
But when the man awoke he sobbed
as IL his heart would break and said:
my dream! want my dream!"
What was the dream? Was it of the
castles fair and the passing pageants
and the Dlaudits and the victories of a
day.
No!
1t was the dream of a purling brook
and the song of a meadow Iark-and

lie now could see that lie himself
had been blind blind to the real things
OF his life
And We-alI of US?
Most Of us are blind in the same IN
seeing way. Always do We take and
fail to give.
Blind! Blind! Blind.
Blind to the toll and tenderness, blind
to the service and sacrifice of those
who love and serve US.
So many tender words and true
We meant to say, dear love, to you
So many things we meant to do,
But we forgot.
Bernard Morton forgot to say and do
the things he meant to do and say,
and the shock of a great pity opened
his eyes.
And SO must tenderness and graft
tude open our blinded eyes
Lift the fainting head with a ring
ing word of cheer ere the dear head
be fallen low and the ear is deaf to
hear and the eyes forever sealed.
