liston hotel Saturday night awaiting
the arrival 81 : train on which he
and his wife intended going TO Ray
to spend the Christmas holidays with
his brother Albert Hankey, aged 81,
for many years resident Of Grand
Forks, was stricken by heart failure,
death being instantaneous. He was .
cousin Of Judge Juergens Of this city
and George Hankey Of Grand Forks,
and he received word Of the tragic
death Sunday morning.
His wife, seated at his side, had no
knowledge Of his death till she failed
to. receive an answer to question.
Just two years ago to the day Mr..
Hankey's mother died in identically
the same manner, her death occurring
at the Hankey ranch near Ray.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hankey were residents
of Plentywood, Mont, where he has
been engaged in the meat business
several years. They had reached VIII.
liston on their trip to Ray to spend
the holidays with his brother, Frank
Hankey, and had gone to the hotel to
wait between trains. It was while
there that his sudden death occurred.
Mr.. hankey was pioneer resident
of Grand Forks going to that city
about IS years ago, handling meat sup
plies then for the Great Northern
railroad contractors engaged in SHOW
ing that railroad through the north
west. With his brother he engaged in
the meat business in that city, and
their butcher shop was located Of
Third street between DeMers avenue
and Kitson.
About twenty years ago he returned
to St. Paul and engaged in the stock
business in South st. Paul remaining
there till about six years ago when he
left, going to western North Dakota
and finally to Plentywood, Mont.
i At one time he was a resident Of
Towner where for several years he
was interested as part owner Of the
well known Lord Thursby ranch.
! Funeral services will be held in st.
Paul today and his remains were TAX
en- there yesterday.
His mother and father are both
buried in Woodlawne cemetery in that
city, and his remains will be inferred
there also.
George Hankey of Grand Forks and
Frank Hankey of Ray are the only
brothers, accompanied the remains
from Williston. George Juergens
went to St. Paul Sunday evening.

LIQUOR AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE

LIQUOR AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE
One who seeks an explanation Of
why woman suffrage won in Michigan
and lost in Wisconsin, Illinois and
Ohio, is usually referred to the fluid
that made Milwaukee famous. Women
now have the right to vote in ten
states, with ten million inhabitants,
but women suffrage has been beaten
everywhere east Of the Mississippi ex-
cept in Michigan. Its defeat in states
as progressive as Wisconsin and Ohio
is especially significant. The usual ex-
PLANTATION is that the liquor interests
fight equal suffrage and is able to turn
the scales against it wherever it Is
powerful, as true-blue conservatism OPP
poses it everywhere.
This explanation is unfortunate for
the liquor interests. The recent prohi-
bition wave that swept many states
seems to have spent its force. On the
whole, statewide prohibition has
scarcely justified itself. We believe
there are more effective ways Of wag-
ing war on alcohol. and certainly that
is cause which needs the highest ef-
ficiency it can possible develop-it can
not afford to waste an ounce Of encr-
gy. However, if it should become gen
orally understood that the liquor inter
tests are determined upon dic.in-the-
last ditch opposition to woman suf-
frage, very troublous times are in
store for those interests. 1t is not, at
! the best, an interest that enjoys much
public appreciation. Let it get itself
labeled before the country as the par
amount bar between women and the
/ ballot, and the shower Of brickbats in
its direction will probably exceed any
thing known in our recent political
mcteorology. We advise the interest
to avoid that label.-Saturday Evening

THE WOMAN VOTER IN IDAHO.

Boston Herald: Senator W. E. Borah
acknowledged the help he received
from the women of the state of Idaho
in his campaign FOR reelection to the
Senate of the United States. The sug.
gestye fact is that throughout that
western state Of advanced ideas the
women voters seemed always to place
the man above the party and the ques-
tion at once arises in the minds of East
ern students Of the suffrage problem
as to the value women voters in tho
Atlantic states might be expected to
give to party alignmeuts. All over
tho state of Idaho club women aided
Mr., Borah IS candidacy, and their chief
argument was that the senator had
mado it plain throughout his incum.
bsncy that he realized that "he re.
presented the women as we'll as the
men Of his constituency. He found
tine to look up information for them
to send them documents, to answe,
their letters, and to manifest "some
thing more thaa perfunctory inter

THE PARDON POWER.

The Minneapolis Journal in comment
ing on the pardon recently issued to
Albert T. Patrick by the governor of
New York says:
"1'he pardon of Albert T. Patrick by
the governor of New FORK has started
a movement to take away from the
executive the pardoning power and in
vest it in board. Such boards are
much less susceptible to sentiment
than are individuals. The number OF
pardons may not decrease under such
a system, but they will no longer be
granted under circumstances of Sec
recy, nor as the result Of within or
sentiment. No board would issue
pardon under the circumstances that
surrounded the release of Patrick
Events in North Dakota DO not show
that the power of pardon being invest
ed in board reduces the number of
pardons. It has been shown here that
an expression of public sentiment will
do more than anything else. At re-
cent meeting of the North Dakota par
don board there were "a pardons grant
ed, three Of Che parties receivingtthe
being convicted murderers. As soon as
the action Of the board was known 10
the public there was storm of protest
from over the state, particular stress
being laid upon the pardon of one Joe
Remington who was sentenced to life
in the penitentiary and afterwards ad-
mitted his guilt. His crime was de.
liberately planned cold-blooded murder
He has served about twenty years. As
result of the protest there were onty
three pardons granted al the December
1912 meeting of the board; one was a
party who would soon be released and
: was in fact no more than granting
of citizenship papers, another was a
young boy nineteen years Of age who
had served several months of years
sentence for picking pockets and there
appeared to he great deal OF doubt
as to his guilt, and = w. cow ,fird ~;
man pboszwea-s~.-.'xilg sentence 1of ~
MINOR crime. It is not probable that a
board will ever again make such
wholesale liberation as did the men
who turned Joe Remington loose upon
the world, and the reform can all be
credited to popular condemnation OF
the act. There are Of course many ar
guments on both sides of the question,
but the experience Of North Daokta is
that popular sentiment, properly ex-
pressed, will make either governor or
board of pardons hesitate in giving
indescriminate pardons.-Bismarck Trl-
