Woman and the Ballot.

Women no less than men are man
ifesting dissatisfaction with things
as they are. For what else does the
great Feminist Movcment-the So
allied Battle for the Ballot-mean
but restlessness under some real or
imaginary burden that seems too
heavy to bear with patience,
Whether the cause be real or imagin-
airy amounts to the same thing, so
far as the effect goes, however
stoutIy one may argue that the
women of America particularly, are
better geared, guarded and govern
cd than woman ever has been in
history.
No, the reason for the insurgcnce
is probably not because the ma
jority Of women are miserable, but
because 50 many are weary with
the sameness and monotony of the
days Women have 4 natural hor-
ror Of things standing stM They
always have had, since Helen pro.
vokcd the destruction Of Troy, Wo-
men inspired and made the Roman
Empire great and when they grew
tired of being badly governed and
badly guarded the knell of Rome
sounded. Queen Elizabeth was one
Of the greatest rulers in history,
Who so much as woman-Harriet
Beechcr Stowe-brought about the
civil war? And when that had been
fought and settled, who but women
began zcalously agltating Tenn
perancc and TeetotaIism through
out the land, Was there ever any
great row, reform or revolution
that was not kindled and famed to
flame by women? None that is
worth remembering, says William
Griffith in McCalPs Magazine for
March.
so be it, Women are a bit weary,
whether reasonably or unreason-
ably. Not only women in the great
er cities, but women in the smaller
communities, not to emphasize the
farms The problem OF the mother,
which is akin to the problem Of the
boy and girl, in the town or small
city is a very serious and acute one,
1t is based upon monotony, than
which nothing is more depressing or
more of a Pandora Box, Given few
legitimate amuScmcntS, so few clean,
wholesome distractions and a hand.
ful of narrow interests that vary
but little from dHy to day, is it re.
markablc that monotony settles on
so many communities like a cloud?
The wonder is that the evils thereof
are not greater and grayer But
what are the remedies? OF course,
there are the automobile and the
telephone, but one is oitcntimcs pro.
hibitivc because Of the expense, and
the other is poor enough amuse'
ment in itself Golf courses aud ten
mis- courts2 Ccrtuinly-ior a few,
Gossip and matrimony are about
the only haycns Of distraction that
the average woman has from The
monotony of small town life, Shall
it always be so? Shall the woman
constantly be compelled to wrestle
with narrowing limitations and
paralyzing monotony? Not when
she has her say and way, Nor
when she really begins seeing things
more clearly and taking some or
rather, more Of them into her own
hands, Nor when women generally
heed and harkcn to their ancient
horror of things standing still and
dying in their tracks

do. for, my dear sir, the farmers are
the largest group of the working
class, and YOU cannot by any kind OF
argument make me believe that they
have not good common horse sense
enough to take rhcir place as such
Again, YOU say; "In other words,
Socialism tends 10 destroy the fam
ily; the farming class is the tounda-
tion of society. Remove the family
and the whole fabric Of civilization
goes down.
What you have recently tried to
prove by the above conclusion and
the preceding argumenSot your ar
ticle is this;
That the family is the foundation
Of the farm industry, The farming
class b ing the foundation of So
ciety, if destroyed, would also de-
stroy society. Your logic may be
correct but your premises are wrong
Private property is the foundation
of the family institution as it exists
today Remove or destroy the own
ership Of private property and YOU
destroy the family institution, As
Socialism assures the ownership OF
private property it therefore will
not destroy the family.
Our last census reports, however,
show that today one divorce is
granted for each six marriage IL
ccnses issued, and we may add there
to the thousands Of descrtions and
and suicides, all of which arc charge
able 70 the present system and not
to Socialism.
Now as to the family bcmg the
foundation Of the farming industry,
This was true some years ago, but
the farmers family has lost its job
and is being turned into the fields to
work with the horses and mules
Modern industry has taEen the
loom and spinning wheel, leather
and shoe making, farming imple-
ments and wagon making, and last,
but not least, butter making from
the farm and placed them in the fac
tories, where they have developed
into gigantic industries, Your sue
cessiul farmer no longer works his
family harder than he would the
stock on his place.
Last, but not least, investigate
the big farms and syudicatclarmin
No doubt about their success, They
pay dividend, So does the little
farmer; but he paws it TO a landlord
or mortgage holder in the form of
rent or interest, and his family lives
short on lilc's necessities that he
may do so, but he is sitting up now
and beginning to take notice DR.,
Necessity says he will need only one
more operation, 1t is called coop.
GRAFTON, Ever heard OF It;
There is not a city or village in the
country that has not felt the effects
of it. Do you know what it will
lead to? Yes, we have it here Yes,
il is q success, But as this is not an
add ! cannot name it,
Now, in conclusion, you quote the
Socialists as saving; "Oh, we do
not know how all these problems
will be worked out" This is true
We have no cut and dried curc.all so
far ns details are concerned to give
you, but we know that all men
want the full value Of their toll, and
it is already demonstrated that 60.

co BACK TO WORK PLENTY OF WATER
City Mains Now Connected
With Santa Fe Pumps.
Emergency Supply of 100000
Gallons Daily Available.

The city water mains are now con-
nected with the mains of the Santa
Fe shops.
This is something I have had in
mind for some time" said H. P. Mil
Ter this morning, land is most i'm
portant change. 1 am glad the work
is completed for it means a great deal
to the city of Topeka in case of q
breakdown or Hood IN case of trou-
BILE at the pumping station It would
be invaluable to the Santa Fe; they
are now receiving 100000 gallons a
day, which means that they could
take care of the city water consumers
II such a thing were necessary"
Commissioners Miller declares this
should havo been done years ago. The
santa Fe need not stop work now be-
cause of water shortage.
Besides this, tho change brings
water nearer districts that will demand
water connections next year, and are
already, according to Mr.. Miller, be-
ginning to raise the required amount
of cash.

NEAR TRAGEBY At ZOO
Carpenters Fell From ScnrOfd and
Landed in Alligator Tank.

A near-tragedy occurred this week
at Cages park; a carpenter was
hurled at the jaws of an alligator, but
luckily escaped with his life. The
story of Jonah and the whale is mild
II happened in this wise: A green
house is being built about, around and
above the alligator tank at the park.
A couple of carpenters were pounding
on a scaRoldiRS directly above the
water when board snapped; tools,
carpenters and scQffolding dropped to
the tank with splash.
The alliGators churned the water,
snorted and Missed. Pandemonium
reigned in the two-foot tank; the car
per7ters decided in their drop from the
scaffeld that their last hour had come.
They landed directly beside the aston
tshed beasts, and in close proximity
with mouths a yard wide. The haste
with which they left the tank was
never excellsd in a Marathon.
Commissioner Stotts, who relates
the story, rather sDoils the climax by
asserting that the a1ligators were quite
as scared as the men.

GoRDoN-MUNN SUIT UP AGAIN.
case Involves Estate of Late G. S. Cor
don, Once Resident of Potwin.

The famous partition suit of Mrs.
Jennie s Gordon against Mrs. Lille
C5ory3on Mum. and her husband, DR..
Lewis II. Mum, has been continued for
a third hearing until December 16. the
csse had been set for hearing in the
second division of the court on Decem-
her 2 1t is expected it may require
week to try.
The case has been tried in the Shaw
nee county district court twice before.
and iudgmsnts favoring Mrs. Gordon
have been entered. Both times appeals
were taken to the Supreme court, and
the judgments reversed. Another case,
however, in which Mrs. Mum asked
that deeds to property made to Mrs.
Gordon before her husbands death be
set aside, has been finally disposed OF.
Judgment for Mrs. Gordon having been
sustained by the Supreme court.
The first trial in the partition suit
was before Judge A. w. Dana, in the
first division of the district court. Trial
by jury was refused. the custom having
been to try partition suits before the
granted. The second hearing was be-
fore Judge George H. Whitcomb and a
jury in the second division of the court
The reversal was ordered on the ground
that certain evidence should have been
admitted to the jury.
The suit involves the estate of G. g.
Gordon, a former resident of Potwin
who died Several LIS ago. Mrs.
Mum is daughter of Mr.. Gordon. Mrs
Gordan is a second wife, and her right
to property is attacked. for one thing,
on the ground that she never was legal
ly married to Mr.. Gordon.
