upon a basis of progress and profit.
No Waste Lands
There are absolutely no waste lands In
the cultivated fields. Every foot of soil
is being made to produce crop of value.
The system OF culture is strictly intensive
and most of the work is by hand, instead
of machinery The fields are divided up
into small plats or lands, averaging from
80 to 100 feet wide and from 400 to 1000
feet long Between these plats are
planted trees about % feet apart between
which are trailed or fesrooned grape
vines
This system of culture Is said to date
back for many centuries. even to the
palmy days of the Caesars and the
Roman empire. These fields give more
the appearance of garden culture than
any other method / could describe.
The Crops Raised
The principal crops raised are wheat,
oats. alfalfa, clover Indian corn, sugar

Admitted Doubt

In his charge to the jury Justice Har-
vey admitted that there was some doubt
as to whether or not the contest was IL
legal but. he said there was no doubt
that death had been caused by blow and
that the jury should consider only wheth-
er the defendant was guilty OF causing the
death of his opponent In an effort to win
the prize placed upon the contest.
The. jury was out 4j minutes and the
verdict was to the effect that the contest
was a prize fight. but that Pelkey was
not guilty of manslaughter inasmuch as
the blow he struck was not intended to
cause fatal results.

hundred miles of road, holding meet
ings In all the chief cities on her
route, always emphasizes the fact
that the Woman Suffrage Movement
Is not an effort on the part of women
to abandon their natural field of work
and to invade mans realm but rather
to obtain tool by which their work
along traditional lines may be done in
ACCORDANCE with modern needs and
conditions. In emphasizing this
point she writes:
10 my mind, giving the vote to
women as women, is not merely
matter or justice to them but it is
matter or absolute necessity to the
state. Far from being inexpedient
thls step seems to me to be absolutely
necessary to the better deyelopment
OF our American life. In the first
place, the field of woman's work has
entirely changed in the last hundred
years. In the early days woman was
tne most important economic factor in
the land. All the industries were un-
uer her control and were carried on
ny her,-baking and brewing, spin
nlns ana weaving, dyeing and tailor
ins' carpet making, candle making
all the occupations providing for the
nome, except carpentering trades
were carried on by the women of the
household. Today all these indus
trles are carried on outside the home
IN shops and factories, and in con-
sequence the women have had to fol-
low thelr employment into these fac
lories' and are still doing the same
uhuer radically different conditions.
III lne ola days women were employ
els as well as employees, and work
mined by them, and subject to their
regulation. Today women are en-.
pioyees only, and work under CON
ullons that they have no power to
CONTROL sanitary conditions, hour of
WORK, protection from dangerous
hlacnlnery, matters of ventilation.
whole system of factory inspection,
are matters regulated by law and en-
forced by employees of the political

ana welfare are absolutely tied I'D and
dependent upon the conditions Under
"h1ch they work, have no word TODAY
IN choosing the men that make these
laws, or that appoint the officials that
enforce them. Therefore TODAY waman
are IN the industrial world, slaves and
NOT seH-respecting citizens. 1t seems
absolutely clear that the women of
tue industrial world need the vote to
plotecl themselves, and through them
selves the future of the race, and #
must be clear to any one who really
races the question, that if this is so

should insist that these women be

H ipto a a alnerent matter from going
INTO politics in the sense of deyotine

WORK. Let us take up first the uues-

In giving it to her family she may be
exposing them to illness or death, but
now can she protect them from TINS
nsk? NO Individual can do IT. 1t can only
lie done through society. 1t can only
he done through the action OF the
law which shall regulate the produc-
ton, the handling, the shipping and
the storing or food sIutfs and their
sale. Tins being the case, the mother,
VINO is responsible, must nave a voice
in choosing those that make the laws
and appointing those that enforce
them.
The state also needs the women's
vote because 1t needs to have her
point or view represented. The point
or view OF woman is necessarily diff
1erent from that or men. Women have
dlnerent experience and different
training and any government tnat is
earned on without definite recognition
or this point of view is one-sided. 1t
IS just as one-sided as it would be II
II recognized the point of view OF
women alone and did not recognize
that OF men. Women are experienced
IN the care OF the young, lie sick and
the dependent, and their experience
and knowledge should be unllzed to
the utmost. In the old days when the
chief junction or the government was
the military and the police function,
IL was natural tuat women should not
DE included IN the political machinery;
put today the military side OF govern
ment is rapidly sinking into the back
ground, and the emphasis is more and
more being laid upon those functions
OI government which DEAF with the
projection OF the people from sickness
and disaster, when provide care for
the SICK, the needy and the dependent,
which train and educate the young,
and which tend to secure proper sur
roundlngs for our people and proper
opportunities for them. This beng
the case, the military experience and
supremacy of man becomes of much
less Importance in matters of govern
ment, which must look to the intel
lectual and moral qualities for it's
strength. In this work women are at
no disadvantage with men and their
SPECIAL training and experience gives
them special htness to speak on many
Issues that face a government in mod
ern times. Therefore, because their
point OF view is more personal than
that of men, because men instinctively
emphasizes the business value and ef-
feet OF legislation, if our legislation
is to be well balanced, is to repre-
sent equally all the interests of the
community, it must represent the wo-
men as well as the men. 1t can only
so represent the women if the legis-
lature is directly responsible to the
women in just the same way they are
responsible to the men, namely, if
they depend upon the votes of the
women for election.
At the great suffrage procession in
New York last May the banner that
attracted most attention perhaps was
the one borne at the head of the
Woman Suffrage Party division-it
read women prepare children for the
world,-let them help prepare the
world for children"
