une.-Winnipeg socialists never
secured a more logical and force
full speaker than George ID. Brew
er of the Appeal to Reason who
addressed large mass meeting on
the street last night. Whether we
believe in the doctrine of Mr..

that he is a perfect master of his
subject and thoroughly sincere in
its presentation.
Austin Daily Statesman, Austin,
Tex.-Mr. George ID. Brewer of

ceptionally forceful and logical
speaker of national reputation,
having covered a large area of the
United States as well as Canada
in his lecture work. Mr.. Brewer
enjoys the advantage of college
education, is refined in his man
ners and speech and has standing
invitation to return to Austin at
the first opportunity.
Eugene V. Debs.--The speeches

forts. The audiences are from the
first put in good humor His lee
lures in which he turns a funny
story with sharp moral to it, re-
lieved by impressive pathos to
strengthen an earnest plea, make
a favorable and lasting impress
sion.

TheSuffrage Petition

The national suffrage petition, initi-.
ated by the woman's national COMMITTEES
and endorsed by the national executive
COMMITTEES of the socialist party, is be
ling sent broadcast over the United States
for signatures It is to be hoped that

an energy and enthusiasm that will roll
in the million names asked for, long be-
fore they are needed by our representa-
tive in congress, Victor Il. Berger. This
is our opportunity, comrades, to let the
people know our position as socialists
on this question, so get busy, every com
rade, and do your share.
The women need help to get the bal
lot Help us get the ballot-we need it
that we may be able to cooperate with
man politically. Give us an equal op-
portunity at the ballot box that we may
be able to better work for the freedom
of the working class industrially. We
are tired of being classed with the Grim
inal, idiot and Italian. The six western
states have evolved beyond that.
Equal suffrage being an integral part
of the "womans. movement" will grow
and spread and never cease until every
state in the union; yes, every country
in the world, has placed women where
she rightly belongs. We have been told
too many times that the home was wom-
ans sphere and many still believe it,.
have been homekeeper for thirty
years and I have discovered that there
is not department in my housekeep-
ing that is not affected by politics.
We are told not to meddle with poll
tics, but politics NEEDLES with every de-
partment of our home and its environ
ment. Politics interferes with the edu-
cation of our children, it interferes with
working women and controls the regula-
tion of their employment. So we are in
politics whether we go to the polls or
not We cannot have democracy until
the reins of government are in the hands
of all the people, regardless of sex.
We demand that the day shall come
when the child shall be more important
in the eyes of the state than profits,
when human life shall be more care
fully guarded than property. Seven mil
lion women in this country demand a
voice regarding the conditions under
which they must struggle for existence.
We ask you, we appeal to you, for help
to remove the handicap which keeps us
from an equal chance TO help in this
great movement for the emancipation OF
the working class.
For ages women have been regarded
as something which was OF value to
society only through the fact that they
were Of use to men. They were held in
much the same light as anything else
which men needed in their work, but re-

CHECKING SPREAD
Of DUCK DISEASE

BY getting on the job early this
year Fred w. Chambers, state fish and
game commissioner, expects to check
the spread of duck malady now cur.
rent among ducks breeding in the
Jordan and Bear rivers.
Several cases of the malady which
Is known as intestinal coccidiosis have
been discovered among the ducks at
the Jordan river where the city sew
age enters 1t and also at the mouth
of the Bear river. With news of the
first case, Mr.. Chambers directed his
game wardens to kill and bury imme
d.ately every duck found to be suf'
fering with the disease. This has
been CARED out and already the NAL
ady has been nearly stamped out.
Two years ago it spread through
the duck population over the state
with such rapidity that duck hunting
was temporarily barred by the fish
and game department. The disease
is easily communicated from one duck
to another and Is caused by an unsan
itary condition Of the water in which
the fowls live.
