happened to pluralist voter In the
1900 election in England. He was q
keen politician and believing that the
vote he possessed in a distant constit.
uency would be; of value to his candi-
date engaged a special train to take
him there. On entering the polling
booth he found the engineer Of the
train at his heels. He then discovered
that the engineer happened to be on
the voting register Of the same town
and was taking the opportunity Of his
accidental presence there to record
his :vote-which was given for the
other side. =.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
RESTORE FADED AND GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL coLoR--DAN-
DRUFF QUICKLY REMOVED

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the
color Of the hair. Our great grand
mothers kept their locks soft, dark and
glossy by using a sage tea" When
ever their hair fell our or took on a
dull, faded or streaked appearance
they made a brew of sage leaves and
applied ii to their hair, with wonder
fully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have TO resort to
old time, tiresome methods Of gather
ing the herbs and making tho tea.
This is done by skillful chemists better
than we could do 1t ourselves, and all
we have to do is to call for the ready
made product, Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, containing sage
in the proper strength with the addi-
tion of sulphur, another old-time scalp
remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell ii under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded If it fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and Is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special agents. Fout & Porter

"Will women's voting purify poll
tics?" History can but answer that
question. New Zealand stands in the
foremost rank OF civilization. She has
had woman suffrage for over twenty
years and every one OF the magnificent
reform movements which have placed
her at the head of civilization have
been fought for by women many times
In opposition to that timid conserva-
tism, which oft times seems to para
lyse men. There are many women I'm
our state who desire the ballot to ex-
tend their own rights and privileges,
to help create better laws for the pres
ervation of the home and family, to
help insure the life Of a democratic
nation. What are you going to do
about it, men OF North Dakota?

EQUAL RIGHTS

When the majority OF women want
the vote they will get 1t" is the evas-
i've argument Cor lack of argument)
with which many legislators and anti
suffragists, attempt to prevent the
discussion of the question on its actu-
al merits. Until women do vote, how
Is 1t possible to tell whether the ma
jority, or only few desire to voteo
Such statement, is an easy method
Of evading direct discussion, but 1t is
not manly or moral. There are suf-
frage organizations in twenty -one diff
ferent nations OF the world, and many
OF them are considered far les pro-
gressiye than the United States, and
yet their advanced treatment of the
question should lead our Indifferent
men and women to give more attention
to this vital question Within the last
two years in New Zealand, at gen
eral election a larger per cent Of
women voted than did the men.
For centuries many men were deni-
ed tho right to be heard being deemed
unfit to be heard in matters pertain
ing to their personal rights and Iiber-
ties. But manhood suffrage then, as
40 W0AiAAA suffrage AlOWt was u Ikl1AdA
question, which is at the foundation of
political liberty, and they finally re-
ceived the ballot under the broad prin-
ciple Of representation that govern
ment rests upon the consent of the
governed, and the right Of all governed
to have voice In the government could
not morally be withheld any more
than it can morally be eyaded.
Now 1T is a fact that more women
have asked for the ballot, than have
men in any DISTINGUISHED class in the
whole history of the world, in proper
ton to their numbers.
In Wyoming, Idaho, Utah. Colorado,
Washington, Norway. Australia, Fin
land and New Zealand women have
full political rights, and vote for all
officers from highest to lowest and the
statistics show that as large a per-
centage OF women vote as do men.
Kansas is a fair example Of how the
municipal ballot in the hands of
women, has most effectively influenced
municipal elections. Fifty years ago
1t was urged that to give girl high
school education or a college education,
would destroy her desire to be wife
and mother, would ruin her health and
morals. and weaken her religious in
stincts, and so the colleges were care
fully closed against her, How is 1t
