SUFFRAGE AND HOME RULE:


Though some of us may be inclined
to look upon woman suffrage as an
ephemeral fad which appeals to the
new woman" rather than to the true
woman, We cannot overlook the fact
that the fad transcends the bounds
Of nationality, religion and almost
any other grouping of women we may
consider. Ireland, the land to which
we delight to look fer women who are
as sensible as they are charming and
who love home and family so we'll
that divorce is unknown in the coun-
try even Ireland has her Wom-
ems Franchise League 1t may be
that the best women of Ireland are
not associated with this league, it
may be that the league does not rep
resent the sentiment of the majority
of the women, OF the country. We
have not the facts to prove or dis
prove these coniectures, but we are
informed that the organization has
the sympathy of number of the
Irish members of Parliament, among
them being William Redmond
The purpose of the league is to Sc
cure Tor at least to ask for) Parlia-
mentary franchise for women on the
same terms as it is given to men.
The members of the league maintain
thn: in the interests of the country
as a whole women ought to have a
voice in the government. They, there
fore, ask that the Home Rule bill
which is now in process of making,
shall provide for the election OF men,
bers to an Irish Parliament on a
government register which shall in
clude women as we'll as men.
1t Is true the suffragists in Ireland
are not as militant as their sister
tribe across the Channel. They have
not become SO notorious for their
propensities to drive their arguments
home by the use of sticks and stones
when helpless member of the Gov
eminent who happens to be opposed
to equal suffrage falls into their
hands Yet they are active in arous-
ing sentiment in its favor. That they
will succeed in their design to have
provision made for equal suffrage in
the Home Rule bill is far from prob
able Not only is opinion divided on
the placticability of female suffrage
among leading men, but women them
selves are far from being in agree
ment as to it's desjrability. Not that
women are inferior or less qualified
than men to exercise the right of
franchise but they are SO endowed
by nature that their inclinations are
in another direction. The sutfiragist
will say that if women are given the
ballot they will in time, by a process
of evolution, become as interested in
political matters as are men. The
question then arises, will the country
profit by having women politicians
and will women profit by becoming
politicians?

The Growth of the Winona Seminary.
On Tuesday afternoon, Oct. gath,
ground was broken on the campus of
the Winona Seminary for the erection
of the new class and lecture hall. APP
propriate ceremonies marked the occa-
sion. The first shovelful of ground
was lifted by the Reverend F. IT, Eng
lish, who, in the absence of the Right
Reverend Bishop, addressed the Sis
ters and students on the happy incep-
ton of their new undertaking. The
following is statement of the pro-
gram as it was carried OUT

First Ground, The Reverend f. T. Eng
lish.

ing, The Reverend T. F. OConnor.
V. Hymn, Holy God.
vi. Alma Mater, The Seminary

The Seminary is conspicuous among
the newer colleges for women. The
collegiate work given in the literary
department leading to the baccalaur-
cate degree is accepted in full by the
eastern universities for matriculation
for the degree of master. Collegiate
work leading to the degree of bachelor
of music is given in the conservatory
OF music.
To meet the increased demand for
accommodations for the advanced
courses the commodious new class and
lecture hall and the new conservatory
will be rapidly pushed to completion.
Besides the regulation recitation and
lecture rooms the new class building
will contain an elaborate system Of
laboratories for the most thorough
study of the natural sciences. The
new conservatory will contain seventy
practice rooms for piano. voice and
violin, besides concert rooms and stu
dio apartments. The probable cost Of
the new structure is estimated at
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, says the Courier of October.

VIXEN Father Mahon first came to his

During the month of November the
Church asks THAT the faithful give
special attention to the needs of the
suffering souls in Purgatory. 1t is a
month during which we are remind
ell that our dead have only passed to
another life and that if they died at
peace with their God we can help
them still. 1t is our duty to help
those who are no longer able to help
themselves. A prayer for a departed

PREDlcAMENT OF THE TORIES.

The Tory party in England is like
a ship in mid-ocean without compass
or rudder. They have many leaders
but no leader Their only policy
seems to be to defeat their oppon-
ents. AS the vision of Home Rule
grows brighter they grow more des-
perate. AS Mr.. Redmond aptly re-
marked in one of his Home Rule
speeches:
"They are really in a desperate con-
dition; they don't know what they
want to do, and they don't know how
to do it. They are agreed on no sim
divided up into don't know how
many sections on Tariff Reform. In
surance, Trades Unionists, the Con-
federates, the Orchards, the Hedgers,
the Balfourites, the antiBalfourites.
They have been beaten at the cleo
tons three times in succession-a
record, think, in political history for
any political party They are divided
on Tariff Reform, they are divided
on reform of the House of Lords,
they are divided on the leadership Of
Mr. Balfour and I ask again in their
sorry plight what can these clever,
ambitious young men like Mr.. Smith
do? They think that they, divided
on everything else. can unite on hos
Utility to Ireland-poor Ireland, which
has been long the shuttlecock of Brit
lish parties-and hence they have en-
tered on this desperate effort to get
| up some semblance of enthusiasm in
their party on the question of Home
Rule"
This position of the Tories was in
evitable. They have persistently re-
fused to hearken to the voice of the
people, and as natural result they
have been given a prolonged vaca-
ton In which to inter their anti
quated ideas. Their complete lack of
union in the present crisis makes it
so much easier for the Government
to carry. out its plans.

able assistants have put up an exposf
ton that Is entirely creditable to the
state. The several counties Compel
ing for prizes have arranged their ag-
ricultural products very artisticaliy
and the range and quality of these
products is indeed surprising. Every
citizen of the state who can possibly

sition.

county has made wonderful strides in
the way OF Improvement during recent
years and has the quality OF soil ana
citizenship to make 1t one of the best
counties of the state. The Emnons
county exhibit Is as good as the best,
is as artistically arranged as any. and
certainly does great credit to Hmmons
county farmers and Emmons county
soil.
THE North Dakota Industrial expo
sitlon should go long way toward
creating general enthusiasm for agri-
culture and also toward raising the
standard OF North Dakota credit
among eastern money lenders. I trust
however, that with continuation Of
these expositions, and better farm
methods, that the time will soon come
when North Dakota will be a money
lender instead Of a money borrower"
