GRAIN NOT RIPE
Russian Wanted by Ward County Of
1icials Still in Wheat Field.

Minot, N. D.. Aug. 31.-Among the
fields of wheat in Ward county none
are more slow in ripening than that
of John Golomaha, the Russian, want
ed on the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. who hid in his wheat
when Sheriff Kelley was about to ar
rest him.
Golomagha swore that he was not
going to give himself up until he cut
his wheat. The wheat was luxuriant.
that it was a hopeless proposition for
the sheriff to find him. In some places
the wheat vas as high as Golomagha's
head so hat he had no difficulty in
hiding in it.
Sheriff Kelley has patiently been
waiting for the wheat to get rie. but
it is still as green as the Emerald Isle.

VOTES FOR WOMEN IN BRITAIN.

There has been a considerable
slump in the agitation for votes for
women in Great Britain. To a large
extent the cause of the setback was
the violence of the tactics adopted
by the more militant s~uffragettes and
tho general disgust which those tao
tics engendered. The result was seer
in the division which took place in
the house of commons on March %
of this year. when the Cancellation
bill, which proposed to give the par
~liamentary vote to the 1.250.000 wom-
en- who already possess the vote for
municipal purposes, was rejected by
the narrow majority Of IA, the figures
being 222 to eos.
The check, however, appears to be
only temporary. 1t must not be for
gotten hat the same bill. and even
bills en~franchising as many as TO-
100000 women. were carried on ser
ond reading by large majorities In
1908. 1909, 1910. and 1911. The fig
ures in 1911 were 3Ol to 1872. show
ing a majority Of 10a. 1t is obvious
thai n considerable section Of the
members of the house of commons is
fully committed to the principle of
votes for m
Neither must it be forgotten that
Premier Asquith. who is himself an
opponent of woman suffrage, has
stated that two-thirds of his col
leagues in the liberal ministry are in
favor of it. and, further. pledged his
government to accept as an amend
ment to the franchise bill or. as 1t Is
popularity termed. the one-man-one-
vote bill. which is to be considered in
the forthcoming autumn session. a
clause giving the vote to women, II a
majority Of the house of commons SO
decides. Should UGH a clause be in
serted. it will confer on 10. $50 600
women the right to vote at parlia-
mentary elections.
Every nerve is now being strained,
by male and female suffragists alike,
to bring about this contamination:
and it is quite within the range of
possibility that before this parlia-
ment to an end a votes for
women provision will be written
broad and large on h statute book
Of the United Kingdom.
