Movement Spreading.

This demand for equal suffrage is part of the movement for democracy which has been spreading for several hundred years. As civilization has advanced, people have found that the interests of any unenfranchised class are always neglected. That was how the rule of the king came to be lin- tied hundreds of years ago. The mo- bles found that no one knew their in- terests but themselves, and they asked for a vote, a voice in the government. Then inc men of the artisan class asked for a vote for the same reason

 Would Protect the Home.
 People say a woman's place is in the home. We agree with that when she can have one; she demands the vote in order to protect the home and the woman who works asks the same thing in order that she may not be so used up by industry that she will never be able to enjoy a home or to become the mother of healthy chill dren.

 Years ago the postofice was locafed ir the little fish IT arlpet building in Main street, then on the opposite side of the street, and in Union street and tn many other places at the will of the postmaster. Finally public convenience became the first consideration and the poStoffioe was located in the old Leon ard house, which stood on the site of tho present Dixon house. During the construction of the Dixon house in war xaneG the postoffice was located tenn porari1y in High street, not far from the present temporary pOstofice struc- LrFe.
 Dn Sept 1, 1868, the postof1ce was ioc-ted in the Dixon house and was part Of the new enlarged store of E. M. Dodge & company. MT. Dodge had the porrlcTl occupied DN Inc pOStOIuCe 0uQ- rd 70 his store in 1888, when the post office vas moved to the building now being razod.

 Women's Interests Ignored
 These men have campaign pledges and platforms to work out, so, of course, can think but little of the in terests of a non-voting class. This is why it is so hard to get homes and food and clothes and children and moral and sanitary questions properly attended to. They are women's inter ests. and officials elected by men are more interested in business than in babies. The reason why this question of votes for women has become so imperative today is because of the revolution in Women's work which has taken place in the last one hundred years. In our grandmothers' time the home was a workshop The spinning and weaving, the making of clothes. the curing of meat the making of can dies, and soap all were carried on in the home and the mother could super intend it.
 Times Have Changed.
 Today all this is done in the factor ies, and the mother is unable to pro- tect her home. Only the law can say whether her food shall be pure or not, whether she shall have wool cheap enough to put on the baby whether the ready-made clothes she buys are clean or infected. Womans s work has gone to the factories so she must follow; the law regulates her conditions of work, sanitation, fire laws and the hours she must work Can we wonder that woman in tbp home and woman in the shop are join
