SOLDIER BOYS
WANT THIS TRIP

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Sept Sit is said
that no action has be a taken by
the state 10 the disappointment OF
her citizen soldiers, on the invitation
to send a battalion and band TO Sa-
vannah, Ca, on October II, at the
unveiling of the monument TO the
Gate City Guards, the flower Of the
Southern regiments, who organized
and made a friendly invasion Of the
North after the Civil War to promote
confidence and peace.
The invitation has been extended to
each OF the Northern states and IL IS
said Baltimore alone has raised
$4,000 to equip with flashy regi-
mentals the Baltimore troops. and
Philadelphia has allowed $4,000 for
the equipment of the state fencibles
and their expenses en- route.
Delaware, II she would accept the
invitation, would have had precedence
in line and in entertainment as she
is the first state. II has been figured
out that IL would cost $1,000 to send
a band and four companies--a picked
battalion-from the Delaware Militia.
and it Is the item Of expense that
stands In the way, as there Is no
available appropriation.

Canada's Disappointing Census.
New York World

New York World.
The population of Canada by the
new census is announced officially as
1888, 500, with four election districts
not yet counted which may bring the
total to 7,15O,0OO The increase
about l ESQ, 0O0-is the greatest by far
that Canada has ever made, but the
result, nevertheless, will be q severe
disappointment to all Canadians and
also to the British imperialists who
are relying upon Canada to play an
equal role with the United States in
North America.
The entire increase in the Canadian
west, including the old province Of
Manitoba and the Pacific coast prov.
ince Of British Columbia, is 1905, 900,
or about half the gain Of California,
Washington and Oregon combined.
1t is almost equaled by the gain in
Oklahoma alone. The increase of all
Canada is surpassed by that of the
state of New York, and Pennsylvania
as we'll as New York still exceeds
Canada in population by q large
margin.

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

Let US cali theIroll of the states
which give the ballot to women on the
same conditions as tolmen: Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho. Washington,
California. This is the order in which
these states made the new departure.
Wyoming had equal suffrage from the
beginning ofsthe territorial days, back
in 1869. Utah, too, had it for a while
during the Mormon regime in the ter.
ritorial era, but In the conflict with
p~olygamy congress took the ballo,
away from the women. From 1896
until 1910 the four states first mention.
ed were the only ones in which women
had the same privileges as men al
the ballot box. In the latter yea,
Washington joined this list. And
now California writes its name on the
equal suffrage roll.
Thus b eIsuffrsgists have just made
the largest single conquest in all thei,
career. Californis is much more thar
twice % populous as the biggest Of
the other states which gives the bal.
lot to women. And the state next on
the roll. Washington, was won less
than . yesrlsso. The s~unraRists have
now more than IN eighth of all the
states. Most of those states are small
IL number Of inhabitants. Combined,
however, they comprise nearly one.

seventeenth of the population of the
country. In 1910 women %sufrsgists
was voted upon in Oregon, South
Dakota, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Arizona, and Washington, but it was
rejected In all those communities ex.
cept Washington. Another attempt
to gain this privilege will be voted
upon by all those communities in the
next election.
In about W. thirds OF the states,
most of them being in the west,
women r permitted to vote on
school matters. The movement for

ing vigorously in several European
countries. Women can vote for all
officials In Great Britain except for
members of parliament. They have
. limited suffrage in France, as we'll
as In many OF the provinces of the
Dominion of Canada. Norway allows
them q vote for parliamentary mem.
bers. In the Isle of Man, Australia,
New Zealand, Iceland and Finland
they have full suffrage, as in tho six
American states here mentioned. The
agitation for equal suffrage for women
began in the United States just sixty
years ago, but the slavery Issue, the
the civil war and reconstruction
pushed it into the background for
many years. In the United States as
we'll as abroad, however, it has won
some notable triumphs in recent
times. be. Democrat.

Compared with the returns OF 1908,
the Montana assessment for the cur
rent year shows an increase of over
oS2, O0O, 00O-an exhibit which justiies
the frequent newspaperisdmonition to
"W atch Montana Crow"
A still greater appreciation of Mon.
tana's acknowledgement will result
from reference to early.day assess.
ment returns-thelv aluations of years
preceding the grestsinhux of settlers.
Ten years ago. atively shor,
period in theO historyrof q common
wealth, the Montana assessment was
only sl67, DOC, 900, or about one.hali
the valuation for thelcurrent year.
A continuance of the search into the
tax records OF former lyears develops
the fact that in 1880, according to the
returns made by the several county
assessors, the taxable wealth Of
Montana had q valuation OF only
eighteen million dollars. That was
before the advent of railroad trans
%portation, and the remarkable growth
that has continued since that time Is
record to which every resident of the
state may point with pride.

Conrad Observer: For the arst two

A A MONTANA.

An interesting story is told in the
announcement that the valuation OF
taxable property 10 Montsna THE year
IL some twenty million dollars greater
than the valuation of twelve months
ago. Returns received by the state
board of equalization show q total
assessment Of 1881, go. 4l8, compared
with the valuation of s309, 673, 500 for
the year 1910.
1t appears that the livestock assess
ment has decreased about two million
dollars during the past year, but this
loss is triAing compared with the large
gains in other classes of property.
More than one.half of the total assess
ment now consists of real estate and
improvements-ranch and city prop.
erty-a class OF taxable wealth that is
q permanent asset, and which promises
to increase in value from year to
year.
This years exhibit of Montana's
taxable property indicates that the in
crease in wealthShas been fairly we'll
distributed throughout the state. Only
four of the twenty.nine counties show
. smaller assessment than they report
ed q year ago, and the loss in these
exceptional cases islof comparatively
small amount. In the other twenty
Eve counties there has been q healthy
growth-some of them, of course, hav.
ing made m%ore:rapidj progress than
their neighbours.
Twenty million dollars is q hand.
some addition to the wealth of Mon.
tana citizens during the past year.
1t is q conserv ativelestimate, because
the owners of taxable property are
not given to alton when making
returns to the assessor, and it may
be assumed that the actual gain is
considerably larger than the amount
that appears or the tax rolls.
In giving publicity to the official
figures Of this years assessment, the
secretary of the. Estate board includes

The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-03-24

James Macarthur, a former Wayne
countean, died at his home February
A, aged rs years.
Having lived in this vicinity from
infancy to early manhood many here
will remember him.
He was born in Scotland, coming
here with his parents who settled on
the farm now owned and occupied
by Lon Wilcox. Mr.. Macarthur, Sr.,
built the stone house which, until
late years, stood on the site of the
present residence.
The family moved to Philadel-
phia in the sixties. Old-time resi-
dents here can never forget the
sterling qualities and Christian
character of the family, an inherit
ance which has come down to the
third and fourth generation. Mr.
Macarthur leaves to mourn his de-
parture beside a host of friends, one
son, two daughters, five grandchil-
dren, all of Philadelphia, one broth
er, Alex, of Riverside, California, a
sister, Mrs. Agnes Noyes, of Boston
Mass, also a sister, Miss Lizzie Sum-
mers, of Riverside, California, all OF
whom will be well remembered by
many of Wayne county people. His
wife, a lovely Christian lady, pre-
ceded him about seven years. He
was a lifelong friend of the late
David Orr, of this place.
