suffrage argument is built and no
amount of fallacious reasoning can
impair its soundness and justice.
Another official pamphlet argu-
met against woman suffrage is that
it will not improve the quality of the
vote. Such statement is equivalent
to saying that women are no better
than men. Everybody admits the
moral superiority of women. The
great majority of male criminals in
our jails and prisons, the compara-
lively few immoral women compared
to the number of immoral men, the
preponderance of women in the
churches-all these things consti-
tute unanswerable proof of the high
moral standard Of women as com
pared to men. Will they not carry
this elevated standard into politics
and raise our laws to higher level?
Ask the saloon men, the gamblers
and white slavers why they are al
ways and everywhere so actively op-
posed to votes for women. They
know that woman's influence in pub
lie life, as in the home, has always
been for higher and better things;
for purity, justice and humanity

Chickens Find Gold at Weed.

Weed, Cal, Oct. 10.-Claud Wana-
check, foreman of the box factory, is
proudly showing 50 in a small gold
nugget taken from the gizzards OF
six spring chickens recently sold to
Ms. j. Adams.
While this is proof that there is
gold at Weed, the mystery is wheth-
er the chickens picked up the gold at
Wanacheck's or Adams place. The
discovery has created excitement and
several have gone prospecting on
both places. One place is in the ex-
treme south section and the other in
the extreme northern part of town.
A month ago Mrs. Mary Caldwell
found a nugget valued at $3.50.

There cannot be anything done for
the remainder of the system until
the standpipe is completed and the

Ashland has the contract for putting

The Ladies Aid of the M. E.

ment over the folding chairs that

chairs will be grouped and placed in
the gallery, as many as will be need
ed, and the balance will be used as
filters when needed in the assembly
room.

Ask recalled Mayor Gill if women
did not raise the quality of the vote
in seattle. Ask Edward T. Taylor,
Colorado's representative in con-
gress, who says that there is not
another state in the Union that has
during the past twenty years enacted
one-half as much beneficial legisla-
tion for the protection and moral up
lift of the race" Mr.. Taylor gives a
list of $50 such laws, for the passage
of which he says the women deserve
the main credit. This is not theory
but fact, proving conclusively that
women do raise the quality of the
vote when they are enfranchsed
