8 O'clock p. m? Mr.. Detwiler

of conditions.

rea ling was given by Mrs. Charles
Lawrence.
Are the Local Laws Enforced as
they should be If not What can the
Farmers Club do? BY ALL.
One club could do no good. If all
the clubs demand the enforcement
and take the matter before the gov
ernor, it would help. In the first
place, no man should be elected who
would not do his duty as man or Off
Ger. c. B. Cook gave very inter-

well. The soil Is lacking in mineral
matter and phosphoric acid to pro-
duce wheat.
A discussion by all on woman suf-
frage brought out some good
thoughts and witty sayings, but all
were in favor Of woman suffrage.
G. b. Cook was in favor of estab-
fishing bureau of agriculture in

For Woman's Suffrage.

Simple justice, long delayed, y
would be the enfranchisement OF wo-
men at the November election. is the
belief of Rev. Carolile Bartlett
Crane of Kalamazoo, addi essing a
meeting of women at the First M. E.
church Monday evening IN the sub
feet, "Woman --nrage.'
wisconsin and Michigan are two
of the six states that will decide the
question this fall" said Mrs. Crane.
''lf Wisconsin loses, then Michigan
should claim the honor of being the
FIRST state in the middle west to
adopt woman suffrage"
Mrs. Crane first gave a sketch OF
the progress of woman suffrage from
the time it was first adopted in the
territory of Wyoming, in 1869, until
the present time, when six states,
wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho
Washington and California have l.
10000 voting on all public ques-
tons, the selection of presidential
electors and all other officers. She
declared that the same arguments
are being used against voman suf-
frage that were used against the edu-
cation of women, further than teach
ing them to read little, write a
little and cipher enough to keep their
household accounts.
The speaker said that women's in
terest have videned, that her educa-
ton in schools, colleges, clubs and
fraternal organizations has main
tanned the home as the center Of her
sphere, but has made necessary,
through changing conditions, her
taking a part in the public govern
ment that controls these matters.
She must be in position to aid the
selection of milk inspectors, Of prop
er officials on the board that has the
providing of water supply for homes,
in order to protect her home. She
must take part in the public house
keeping, Mrs. Crane declared. She
must aid in seeing that the streets
are cleaned, that there is an elimina-
lion of the smoke nuisance and that
garbage and litter is properly col
iected. This is the only way, the
speaker said, in which women can
take a hand in the management of
affairs that directly affect her home.
1--WE have six real dem )cracies in
the United States" said Mrs Crane.
~They are states that have adopted
woman suffrage. Our present day
government needs the infusion of in
dependence that women's voting
would give it. We must not, how
ever. believe or claim Il at woman
suffrage would make everything
right, because 1t will not"
Mrs. Crane blamed ')hio's many
large cities for the defeat os woman
Suffrage in that state. She express
ed the belief that Wisconsin would
adopt the amendment and the hope
That Michigan would do likewise.
Che said that the adoption of woman
Suffrage would mean Cor the state
great advertising possibilities. such
III made Washington we'll known In
European countries, and in fact, all
over the world. The refusal of the
men to enfranchise the women, she
declared, would be great humilia-
tfpn to the women of Michigan.
"a The meeting was well attended
ana much enthusiasm was shown.
