81 to 13 but in this state measure
must pass two legislatures before 1t can
go 10 the people for a referendum. So
the battle of the ballots cannot be waged
in this more conservatively constructed
commonwealth until 1914. The states be-
sides those mentioned i'll which woman
suffrage constitutional amendments have
failed in the past year are South Dakota
and Oklahoma. besides the near-states OF
Arizona and New Mexico. In Arizona the

and South Dakota it was refused by

Montana. Illinois. Nebraska and Maine,
whose legislatures have recently given
the woman's rights generals encourage
ment by supporting the equal suffrage
amendment proposition by a majority
vote. although their constitutions call
for a greater division. In the North Da-
kota legislature a change of only two
votes would have carried the measure at
the last test.
Indeed, the equal suffraSists claim that
progress was shown by the last test even
in the Massachusetts legislature. where
a gain of fifteen votes was obtained. as
we'll as in the New York, Connecticut
New Hampshire, Rhode Island. Ohio. In
diana, Arkansas and Minnesota legisla-
lures where they obtained favorable re-
ports from one or both committees in
charge of their measure.
We have been speaking thus far OF full
woman suffrage, upon an exact equality
with man. 1t will he surprising to many
readers to learn that twenty-siN states
and near-states already grant partial suf-
frage to women, which runs the total of
states in which women vote up to thirty
two.
In Kansas they may already vote for
municipal officers as we'll as upon school
questions and bond issues. Indeed, Kan
sas has lately gained fame through her
lady mayoress'' of Hunnewell. who,
with her LADY chief of police. has suf-
fered various tlibulations at the hands

L. Buchanan, steeple Jack. Temper
airy abode, $50 feet in the air, top Of

Every available field glass was
brought into play this forenoon to see
the beginning Of the work OF painting
the court house spire. and to get .
closer view of the tiny speck Of man,
sitting crosslegged Of the spire, paint
Ing the weather vane, and seated on
the vans itself to reach the pinnacle.
Buchanan has sublet the contract OF
painting the steeple and spfre from T.
F. Jones, who was awarded the con-
tract by the board OF supervisors. Blu
chanan came here from Salt Lake City.
Utah, where he llas Just completed q
similar piece of work.
Buchanan's' rigging consists OF two
sets Of block and tackle, one of which
he fastens to the bottom Of the spire,
and the other on top of the weather
vane. To fasten the tackle to the top
Of the vane the man climbed the spire
as a sailor would shin up mast. In
what Is called boatswain's swing,
which is seat enclosed in ropes and
lowered or raised by the operator, Blu
chanan is tied while he wields his
brush.
The mans work Is interesting to
watch, and this forenoon's time
amounted to about four hours. This
afternoon Buchanan was working low
err, painting the steeple. but on Wednes-
day m forming he will be up to the pinnacle
Of the spire again, putting the gold on
the weather vane. Altho it does not
look it from the ground the spire is
sixteen feet in length. The weather
vane is seven feet long.

busy early, and declared that the man
could not belong to the union because
he was working "over time"

Potato Alcohol in Russia.

Russia potatoes are annually increasing
in Importance, the alcohol produced
therefrom exceeding that produced from
all other sources. Aside from the large
quantities Of potatoes purchased every
year by the factories from peasant pro-
ducers and estate owners, whenever
these may have a surplus which they
can not more profitably dispose OF. there
are large plantations devoted solely to
the production Of potatoes igor dis
filling purposes, there being also q
tendency to increase these plantations.
The potato crop Of 1910 for European
Russia was greatly In excess OF that
Of the previous year. which was also
a good one, and the quality of the tub
