Protsotlnu Roses In Winter.

After a mild summer and fall, a
severe winter is very hard on both
utility and ornamental vegetation. as
the growth is very green and unripe.
Amongst the first to suffer would be
varieties Of roses, and their protec-
ton should be attended to before
the slightest frost occurs.
Take wood rammer and ram the
soil as hard as a road all around each
plant; then place forkful or two Of
stable or COW manure round the stem.
Let this come up little way under
the branches. but not far, as It is the
neck or collar that wants wrapping,
and II this Is protected, there is little
danger d the plants being injured.

A Woman For Governor
By Ebert HUBBARD.

TH will be remembered that Mrs.
Marilla Kicker. of Dover. New
= Hamshire, made a spirited cam
paingn for the governorsnIp in that
state few years ago.
For a time it looked as if Mrs.
Kicker stood a good chance of being
elected. The matter, however, was re-
ferred to the attorney general of the
state for a legal opinion as to whe-
Their Mrs Kicker would be allowed to
serve if she were the peoples choice
After due elaboration, the attorney
general gave it as his opinion that q
woman could not legally be inaugu-
rated governor of the state of New
Hampshire, even if q majority Of the
citizens voted for her.
The decision of the attorney gen
eral rested on the dictum that no
person could serve as governor who
was not a legal voter If it were
otherwise, he argued. we might elect
foreigner a minor, an alien, a de-
fective, a criminal to the office Only
legal voter could be elected legally
and allowed to serve, and the law did
not recognize such thing as a quail
flied female voter.
Puts Damper On Campaign.
This sort of put a damper on the
Marilla Kicker campaign, and the only
thing was to fall back on the good
old fight of votes for women.
Now, however, in the state of Wash
ington, Miss Anna A Malley has been
nominated on a referendum for COVER
nor on the Socialist ticket.
Miss Malley. is a social teacher, a
lecturer, and a writer. She is a woman
of a good deal of ability, and withal,
she is a working woman wage
earner-and he had considerable ex-
perience in the world OF business and
practical affairs
The northwest isn't afraid of ini-
tiative Rather do they pride them
selves on doing things that have
never been done before. The north
west is really the home of the initia-
tive, the referendum, and the recall.
And the women of Washington have
done all three. If you do not believe
it, ask exmayor McGill, of Seattle.
Miss Malley seems to be acceptable
to not only her own party but to 4
great number of men and women in
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. The best thing. some say, that

I've done my best to be happy,
And have tried my best to be sweet;
I have come to my toll with dancing
And the Jingle of joy in my feet,
I've done my best to be merry.
Although 1t is sometimes hard
In a world that is often bitter
With the bludgeOn and the shard
I have tried my best to be helpful.
And have tried my best to be right:
have tried TO be peaceful and cheerful
And see with the proper light
I've done my best to be hopeful.

Are often so bitterly hot.

And fallen and risen again.

Real Object of Government.
Abraham Lincoln said that the real
object Of government was to do for
the people what the people could not
do, so well for themselves.
In degree, government is a sort OF
corporauOn-a body without death, a
mind without decline. 1t is a matter
of business, and relates to matters of
the education of the young, the care
of the old, decrepit and infirm; the
keeping Of public records, the question
of good roads, public parks, pure wa
ter and fresh air.
Government gives opportunity and
protects the individual in his rights.
The hand of the government should
touch the people very lightly. For
the most part we know enough to 90
right. because right conduct brings
good results, and is a part of the great
law of self preservation
Government is a business PROPOSE
ton. It is a matter of wise economics.
Woman is a natural CONSERVATION.

Tips are a taboo. 1t is only man who

Ny opinion is that women are bet
ter financiers than men. They are not
SO much given to bounding and ex-
plOitation. a woman is a safer cashier
than a man.
Taking it all in all do not see why
women should not occupy high posi-
lions in the state. And apart from
party lines, I am inclined to think
the people of the state of Washington
might do well to elect Miss Malley
