A suffrage demonstration was given
in which each of nine women repre-
scented a suffrage state and spoke OF
the work in that state. Mrs. Lulu
Shepard represented Utah and gave d
stirring address.
She said she had been a voter for
sixteen years and said it was a divine
right which should be given to all
women, not as females, but as living,
thinking, human beings.
She spoke of the good laws they had
passed since the women voted IN
Utah and how the women were re-
in spite of the fact that there are go
600 more men in Utah than there are
women. She said that women do not
stand for party but for principle and
said she knew the party policies OF
very few women.
Governor Hanna never spoke to bet
ter advantage than at this meeting and
people were very enthusiastic over his
splendid address.
His subject was Present Day Issues.
He spoke of conservation. the Indian
question, tariff bill, currency, govern
ment and cost of government. prohi-
bition, world peace and woman suf-
frage as present day issues, according
the various questions.
The time for var in the world has
gone by and women will vote but one
way on the question. He tried to i'm
press MS hearers with the useless anC
: increased cost of war, Of the mounts
used in building and maintaining bat
tleships, of the cost of the maintenance
of army and navy and compared the
public works for instance there is more
money spent each year for war thar
would build the Panama canal. H
spoke Of the amount of money used tt
build battleships and of their shor
terms of usefulness. In three year!
the battleship North Dakota has beer
placed in the second class.
He gave his hearers some idea o
the possibilities of the coal mines IL
the western part of the state in fur
nishing electricity for the state. Moth
ing prospers like electricity. Machin
cry soon becomes obsolete and NOR
modern Is constantly being installed.
He considered the cost of govern
ment n of the great issues. He spok
or the commission form OF government
as being much better tina the old sys
tenn and said that the same idea SHOULD
be carried out in state and nation. Tn
commissioners as representing tn
whole people, while the alderman gen
orally was more particular to repre-
sent his own ward. Under a simila
system the state and nation would b
better represented.
Another objection to the older sys
tenn is that there are too many repre-
sentatives. This is true of state an
national government as well as tina
OF the city.
He said that the currency bill wi
be settled in the U. s. senate, not i
the house.
There are too many elections and tn
term of office should be four years in
stead of two. This would save a hi
expense.
The W. C. T. U. should help with tn
celebration in Fargo next 4th Of Jul
as that is the 25th anniversary of tn
state and is also the 25th a%nniversar
of state prohibition.
Prohibition Is growing stronger /

This definition includes as public
warehouses, all elevators in this state
operated for the purpose of buying,
handling, storing, selling or shipping
grain for profit, and as warehousemen
all persons, associations, co-partner-
ships Or corporations, operating the
same within this state.
Under the common law a public
Warehouseman is a public agent and
pursues a public employment, and he
may not discriminate between us
toners, nor do anything inconsistent
with the impartial discharge of his
duties to the public. A farmers eleva-
tor company doing business for profit,
as we have seen, is a public ware
houseman, under the. statutes of this
state, and by common law is prohibit
ed from discriminating among its GUS
toners by paying a higher price to
one than to the other. 1t follows, there
fore, that a farmers elevator company
may not pay l cent more per bushel to
it's stockholders than such company
pays for like grades of grain to non
stockholders. That the legislature sc
understood the law, is apparent from
the following language continued in
section 2244:
"And none OF the provisions of this
article shall be construed so as to per
init discrimination with reference tt
buying, receiving and handling grair

THE HOLDEN PARTY WILL MAKE
TOUR OF FERGUS COUNTY
DURING THE WINTER.

The Chamber of Commerce has prac-
tically completed arrangements for

Of that city and the secretary writes
In glowing terms to the local Chamber
Of the great good accomplished by
the meetings and lectures, which are
Of an essentially practical nature.
The only expense involved in getting
this party to make tour of Fergus
will be in providing hotel expenses
while here.
To Supply sows.
The Chamber of Commerce, after
much correspondence, has at last sue
ceeded In compiling a list Of farmers
having sows they will sell instead of
slaughtering. Secretary l.. ID. Blodgett
Is now ready to give all farmers de-
string the information as to where
they can secure these brood sows
Originally the Chamber proposed to
ship In here large number Of sows,
but owing to the prevalence of hog
cholera In the hog districts of Dakota
and Minnesota, this had to be given
up for the time, and the next move
was to check the slaughter of sows,
some farmers having more than they
need, while many others are anxious
to secure the animals. The Chamber
hopes to accomplish some good by
bringing thees two classes In touch.
