or the proposition OF Congressman
Berger, the Milwaukee socialist, who

SHORT CROP GOOD THING?

A Mitchell banker whose judgement
is held in high esteem remarked to
the Republican a few days ago that
he never had any regrets Yer a short
crop of wheat. He pointed out that
wheat is the least profitable crop that
can be sowed by the South Dakota
farmer. II there is a failure in il one
year, it is not possible to raise enough
OF il the text year TO pay the debts
on the failure Of the previous year.
After this year, when corn has done
well and wheat has made a poor yield,
the corr acreage in the state will no
doubt be largely increased. That will
be indeed a good thing for the state.
For ii will mean a stimulus to the
live stock and dairy business. BY
means OF a silo what otherwise is a
waste product OF the cornfield can
be turned into money, meaning just
that much clear profit to the farmer.

Z yOTE FOR THEM ALL

Tomorrow the mon OF Cahfornia
will have chance to pass on the adop-
ton of a number of constitutional
amendments There are few voters who
have found time to study these amend
ments in detail, but all of us can un-
derstand this fundamental fact: The leg
islature which submitted these amend
ments was the ablest and cleanest body
the State has known in many years
These amendments were formulated Tor
the purpose of putting in the hands oil
the people the government of the state
and keeping it there, with the power to
recall any official not faithful to the
trust imposed in him. The several
amendments are those which the legis-
lature after careful consideration,
deemed essential to this end.
We cannot All study the questions IN
all their details, but we can afford to
trust the able body which submitted
them. and vote for each and all of the
proposals submitted.
Vote "Yes" from top to bottom, and
make il a point TO vote at this. the
most important election in California in
many years.

WY OMAN AND THE BAlLOI

w Whenever there .s a question OF
morals or of justice injected into
public a,1airs the so-called arguments
against the reform movement are
pathetically weak, and it is not surp,is-
ing that sheer idiocy is displayed by
many who would continue to bar woman
from the right of self government, which
is as inherent in woman as in man.
One of the most absurd reasons as
signed for not permitting women to vote
is based on athe fact that they are not
fitted for soldiers or for peace officers
1t would be just as reasonable to say
that men should not vote because few
of them are fitted to become milliners
Men do not all follow the same occu-
patton, yet they all have the election
franchise. Because woman is different
from man is not an argument against
her voting. II is an argument for giving
her the ele on franchise. The best gov
ernment is that which is adapted TO the
wishes and the welfare of the greatest
number of people. women as well as men,
and that government is best attained by
bringing to bear on its formation the
minds of all classes Of citizens.
Because women have not the right to
vote the several States in numerous ways
discriminate against her in the inheri-
tance and control of property, while sh'
