Only one man objected to giving the

under the present arrangements the
adjoining counties are helping to build

sister counties adopt the county system,
Kalamazoo county will have to help

The writer believes thoroughly in the
County System.
Because it gets the roads.
Because the state helps pay for the

Because the cities and villages help
pay for the roads.
Because it is just and equitable to the
farmer and city man alike.
Because everybody needs the roads
Because it enhances the value OF all
property in the county.
Because 1T gets uniform roads and
uniform good roads at the least cost.
Because Allegan, Van Buren, and Cass
counties are helping build roads in other

Because they ought to let other

Because the county system is the only
way to get good roads and get outside

W0MhN'S COLUMN
Devoted to the Cause of
Woman Suffrage.
EDITED BY MRS. CLARA S A. RENNIE.

All over the world, thinking men
are actively advocating the franchise
for women, and when we come to our
own state we find the movement has
the strong support of statesmen, bust
ness and professional men, merchants
and manufacturers, while a canvass Of
the factories in the state shows the
Importance of the Issue is keenly real
lied by the large body of working
men. Eighty per cent of our news
papers plead for the cause and be-
tween 80 and 90 per cent of our physi-
clans are on record as its friends
Why not? In what have women failed?
What duty has society ever put upon
them or what work have they ever UNI
dertaken in which they have not
succeeded? In their domestic life, in
their public life, in their social life.
in their intellectual life, have they
not done their work as we'll as men
have done theirs? In home, in churcl
in club and in school, they have shown
a conscientious devotion to duty, in
telligence, patriotism and a marked
capacity for service. Is it not likely
then that if they had the ballot they
would bring much needed power for
good into our political life?
The men most prominent politically
in our state as we'll as in nation have
spoken in no uncertain terms of their
belief in its wisdom In an address
to a mass meeting of suffragists Gov
ernor Osborn said in part:
Il believe sometimes I have meas
ured governments and mankind by
the manner in which they treat their
women. You may always Judge pro
gress by this standard. In ages past
men looked upon women as their bur.
den bearers, and there are still many
who look upon women as good only
for some of the less important work
| have never heard of one single rea
sou against equal suffrage. One thing
that has influenced me more thar
anything else in favor of equal suf.
trage is the type of the opposition

In other places as well, arrayeC

state are arrayed against good womer

suffrage l want the good men to hell

for Michigan what it has done for Col
orado and other states where it has
been tried, may God grant that it ma,

training of children in the years gon,
by then women should be given
wider scope. Good men are glaC

vor of equal suffrage and l want t.

do, inaugurating his present cam
paign, spoke in favor of woman suf-
frlge in these words: The best gov
eminent, in the sense of the one most
certain 20 provide for ana protect the
rights and governmental needs of ev
cry class, is that one in which every
class has u voice, In recOgn ton of
this, the tendency from earliest time
has been the enlargement of the cleo
torate TO include as many as possible
of those governed, but even today the
government is by majority of one
fourth. This is the nearest to a gov
eminent of the whole people that we
have ever had. But woman suffrage
will change this and it is doubtless
coming as soon as the electorate is
certain that most women desire it and
will assume its burdens and response
bilities F"
Woodrow Wilson, in an address to
several thousand women on New Jer-
sey day at Seagirt, n. j, heartily
welcomed women into the field of
politics." and pointed out that the en-
try of women into politics was "a
thing devoutly TO be wished" In
conclusion he said: And so when
women come into politics they come
to show us all those little contacts be-
tween life and politics, on account of
which l, for myself, rejoice that they
come to our assistance.
Theodore Roosevelt, as member
Sc Al,
eddy voted for woman suffrage, and as
governor of New York recommended
it in his inaugural message and in his
address at the Chicago convention of
the Progressive party, said: Work
ing women have the same need to
combine for protection that working
men have; the ballot is as necessary
for one class as the other. We do
not believe that with the two sexes
there is identity of function, but we
do believe that there should be equal
ity of right; and therefore we favor
woman suffrage" His associate,
Hon. Hiram Johnson, the present
governor of California, says emphati.
cally, ~ stand for votes for women"
1on. Robert NJ. Lafollette of Wis
consin embodies his belief as follows:
II have always believed in woman
suffrage to the same extent as man
suffrage for the reason that the inter
ests of men and women are not supe-
rior nor antagonistic one to the other,
but are mutual and inseparable. Co.
suffrage, like co-education, will react.
not to the special advantage of either
men or women, but will result in
more enlightened, better balanced cit
izenship and truer democracy.

Rough on Good Samaritan

Frank Koetsch, laborer, was put
on trial at Graz for his action in
saving the life of would-be suicide.
He had found man dangling from
tree, and had promptly cut him
down and taken him to hospital The
man recovered from the effects of the
hanging, but complained of scalp
wound he had received when falling to
the ground, and he brought a charge
of personal injury by carelessness
against the man who saved his life.
Koetsch was acquitted, but declared
he would take care never to act the
