reports show about 20 million long tons
supplied to vessels in the foreign trade

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
SURELY COMING
SENATOR MoRIARTY BELIEVES
THAT 1T Is NOT NOW FAR
OFF IN STATE OF, MICH.
IGAN.

Senator NJ. IL. MoIiarty of Crystal
Falls who was In Marquette Saturday.
expressed the opinion that universal
suffrage is not far off in Michigan. The
senator's views on the subject are all
the more interesting because OF the
fact that in the last session of the leg
islature his vote was cast against the
submission of an amendment to the
constitution to give the women the bal
lot
THE suffragists will be back in the
next legislature. and II they don't get
what they want they will be back in the
succeeding legislature, and again in
the next. until they do get it. Why,
they got their resolution through the
house last year, and there were only
nineteen votes against il in the sem
ate. Mine was one Of those"
While the senator did not say that ir
he were in the next legislature he
would vote favorably To woman suf-
frage. the views he expressed showed
that the suffragists would find him one
of the. members who might be open TO
reason" Universal suffrage. he re-
marked, seemed to give very acceptable
results in the states where il has been
introduced.
May Not Run Again.
On the subject whether he would be
a candidate for e-election TO the SEN
ate Mr. Morlarty would not speak de-
finitely. Two years ago he was per-
sonally DESTROYS Of dropping out of ac-
tive political life. and in fact announced
that he would not be a candidate. but
because so many important matters
were pending he was subjected to a
general demand that he serve another
having no opposition.
Much the same condition exists this
year. The senator personally would
like to step down. but he has already
received many requests TO go back for
another two years. and make his ten
years of service twelve. 1t is pointed
cut TO him that the next session prom
ises TO be an unusually important one,
and that it will be greatly to the ad-
vantage of his district and the upper
peninsula IL he is on deck as usual
Senator Moriarty is now serving his
fifth term. Last session both of the
other upper peninsula senators were
first termers, and. as il is understood
that Senator Fowle, of the 500, will
not seek denomination there would
again be two first termers from the
upper peninsula il Senator Moriarty
dropped out q, .ssc.
Many of Senator Moriarty's friends
believe Chat lie can be prevailed on to
accept one more term. If he will be
a candidate it is not regarded as at all
likely that he will have opposition.

THE BEST NEWS IN THE PAPER

Several newspaper men from differ
ent cities got to discussing the o-her
day what was the best news in the
newspaper they wera reading toge her.
One of them insisted that the game
bJtween the leaders in the two league
baseball championships attracted the
most readers. Another persisted that
it was the page Of POLITICAL speeches
for the day. A third argued that the
best news in that paper was the cosu
umn of classified advertising, under
the heads of Wants, For Sales, To
Rent, etc. He argued that the informa
ton in these columns was read with
keener interest than anything else be-
cause it related more to peoples daily
lives. Xxx
The women, he contended, were par
ticularly affected by such advertise
ments as those for housemaids, and of
housemaids looking for positions.
Even if they were not looking for
servants themselves, it threw bright
light on their own household troubles.
The men, he said, were touched by
the things that were being offered for
sale. The farmer found out which OF
his competitors was trying to dispose
of market produce: owners of houses
were ,interestde to see what other
houses were selling for. Men that
rented houses were always looking out
for something better than what they
had. xz
| Whether or not the newspaper bro
ther was right, it is certain that col
umn of classified advertising always
comes down very close to home life
It is scanned by great many pecp'<
who enjoy seeing what others are try

PEN NMANSHlP

Now that Teacher has her little
flock of child faces about her, their
future success or failure so dependent
on the way the little hearts or minds
are inclined at school, it is pertinent
to make some remarks about tasks
that need special emphasis.
You don't much said about pen
manship just now When doctors Of
philosophy and bachelors of science
send out letters scarcely distinguish
able from bird tracks, it may not be
considered important that children
should learn to write.
Then, too, there is the typewriter.
A few years ago any seeker for q job
had to make his application in his
own handwriting. The employer who
had to use magnifying glass plus q
capacity for detective work to deciphel
a letter was not much impressed by
flowery testimonials from friends.
Now when you ask for position,
you quite likely use machine that
covers up the deficiencies of your
handwriting. You perhaps think that
penmanship is lost art, useful tc
bookkeepers, but not essential fol
business men.
Neverless, If you should make q cen
sus of the number Of typewriting ma
chimes in this town, you probably
would not find more than one to
hundred Of population. The rest o
us must still use the implements, ma
ture gave us, plus the best pen ant
ink of of our daddies.
Few things give greater impres
sion of illiteracy than scrawly let
ter. More than that it suggesta Ger
tain lack of muscular self control. o.
receiving such communication, yo'
form mental picture Of person VIII
bumps up against people on the street
awkward and blundering.
This Is no day for flOur1SneS. II
man addressed you with a quirl
script that the commercial schools c
25 years ago used to put out, yo
can imagine he uses hair oil and plat

In the deep curve which the old tim
barber used to effect.
A symmetrical handwriting is nj
necessary. Even If it is rough, II tn
letters are clealy fomed SO that

) pose for which it was intended.
So, Teacher, don't think the COP
book is rendered absolete by the typ
writer It never will be.

Advertise Your Potatoes

For a number of years this paper
has endeavored to impress upon the
farmers the benefit to be derived from
having cards printed, with the name
and address Of the producer thereon,
and put one in each sack of potatoes.
Last year large number Of them
were sent out over the United States.
Southeastern Idaho and especially
Bingham County has greater acre
age of potatoes this year than ever
before This office will print cards,
etc.. at an extremely low cost, If suf-
ficient orders are secured for them, an
we suggest that every farmer place
his order at once with The Twice-A-
Week Optimist for what cards he can
use this year.
