have women voting, and If it is neces-
sary for me to sign minority report

credited to Senaor Frank Gavit of
Whiting. and pertains to the municipal
suffrage bill which received unanimous
Endorsement at the hands of the Ham
mond Woman's club last Saturday. Mr..
Gavit, however. is not alone in his OPP
position to the BILL and the probabili
ties are that IL a ballot vote had been
taken at the Hammond Woman's club
the report would not have been quite
unanimous. The fact of the matter
seems to be that quite number of
the Hammond ladies are Indifferent to
the measure, but. on the other hand, it
has its strong supporters.
The bill is known as municipal suf-
frage bill, and provides that women in
incorporated cities and towns shall
have the same right and be under the
same restriction In voting on munich
pal questions any man. II the bill
becomes a law they will also have the
same rights as men to hold office.
Mrs. j. NJ. Turner, who is one of the
strong supporters of the bill in Ham
mond, said this morning that the Ham
mond Woman's club approved the bill
on general principles rather than be-
cause of any particular issues in Ham
mond. and secuted the idea that a suf-
frage party was in formation.

Kentucky will see most of the racing

next week, will include dates at Lex

expected to bring out a better class of
horses than has been seen on the Ken
lucky tracks in many years. This is
due TO the fact that the owners have
no other places to race them except on
the Canadian circuits, and these will
be too cold for month or six weeks

Pullman and the Palouse country
are concerned. The money spent
with local merchants continues to
circulate and helps to make Pull
man the excellent city that it is.
The "booster" spirit has taken
a firm hold upon our citizens, but
let's not forget that our mer-
chants are among our best boost
ers and that they merit the pat
ronage of every person in this
vicinity. They will give you value
received for every cent spent with
them and will prove your warmest
friends at times when friends
seem scarce.

THE LOCAL MERCHANT VS..
MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Thousands of dollars, in the
form of postal and express money
orders, bank notes and stamps,
leave Pullman each month, bound
for the eastern mail order houses,
where they are exchanged for dry
goods, groceries, farm implements,
etc. With the up-to-date business
houses of which Pullman is proud,
and the prevailing low prices
quoted on the highest class of mer-
chandise, these conditions are not
fair to the man who has spent his
good money to equip his place of
business in a manner that will
satisfy mans every want in its

MARKET DAY.

Pullman will hold her first Mar
ket Day tomorrow. While this is
a new experiment here, 1t has
proved a decided success at many
points in the East where it has
been tried. The idea of having
a day set apart every two or three
weeks when people can gather at
some central point to buy or sell
or trade, is an excellent one and
will benefit both the businessmen
and farmers.
At Brighton, Massachusetts,
every Monday is fixed as market
day and any one who has
any kind Of livestock to sell or
trade brings it to that town know
ing that all buyers who are in
the market fer horses, cattle, hogs
or sheep, will be on hand. Brigh-
ton Day is known all over New
England and thither people flock
from all points ON the compass.
The idea OF the business men is
to hold a Market Day in Pullman
every two weeks. il the expert
ment works out well. The present
plan will be enlarged. SO as to
make it an object for buyers and
sellers to support it, 1t is also
likely that he city will employ an
auctioneer to cry anything which
is brought in for sale.
This week the merchants are of
fering bargain prices, as will be
noted by a study of the numerous
advertisements in this issue.
There is money for you in every
line of those advertisements and
a careful inspection of them will
prove profitable to every reader.
But the business men cannot
make the plan success without
the cooperation of the farmers.
A regular Market Day, if patron
lied, will prove of great mutual
benefit to the whole community,
country as well as city, because it
tends to facilitate the exchange of
products and to bring the buyers
and sellers closer together.
