Judge Benton Holds That
Women May Vote.

In answer TO letter he received from
Mrs. Ellen V. Gibson. of Richmond, the
secretary of the Equal Rights Associa-
tion of Madison county, with reference
TO the right of women TO vote for Coun-
ty School Superintendent, Judge j. M.
Benton has written Mrs. Gibson letter
in which he says in part.
Replying to your letter of July 10,
will state that ! am clearly of the opin-
ion that women who possess the quail
fications prescribed in Chapter AZ of the
Acts of 1912, are entitled To vote for
County School Superintendents, both in
the primary and in the general election,
and that it is the duty of the County
Clerks to provide the ballots for women
as provided in that act.
while the Court of Appeals in the
Fayette county case declined to pass on
the question, four of the Circuit Judges
of the State, Kerr, of Lexington; Bethu-
rum. of Somerset, Moss. of Bowling
Green, and Fryer, of Falmouth, have
held officially that women have the
right TO vote in these races, and am
not aware that any Circuit Judge holds
the contrary view.
Some confusion has been created by
an interview given out by State Super
intendent Hamlet in which he ex-
presses the opinion that the act in
question does not give women the right
TO vote for County Superinteudents.
think he is in error, but this opinion
coming from the head of the Educa.
tional Department of the State may
have had weight with some of the
County Clerks.
you may show this letter to Mr.
Terrill, the County Clerk of your coun-
ty. and he will doubtless be glad to
comply with your request to make pro-
vision for women to vote in this race in
your county"

NORWAY.

A cablegram from Christiania, dated
January Goth, gives the names of the
new cabinet of Norway which takes
the place of the Brattlie ministry,
which was forced to resign on ac-
count of the adverse verdict of the
people at the Storthing elections last
autumn. AS was known before, Gun
mar Knudsen heads the cabinet as
prime minister, and he is also min
lister of agriculture. The new min
lister of commerce is M. Kastberg; the
new minister of finance, M. Omholt;
the minister of Justice, M. Abraham
son; the minister for foreign affairs,
M. Ihlen; the minister for the national
defense, Keilland; the minister Of
labor, M. Urbys, and for public wor-
ship, M. Briggesau. With one or two ex-
ceptions, all Of these men are among
the most experienced statesmen OF
Norway today. * 81 v, .$5s jS

is a man of the people in the truest
sense of the term. He has worked his
way to the front with untiring labor.
He is now man of wealth, but is ex-
ceedingly democratic in his tastes and
manners and his sympathy with the
common people is intense and genu-
ine A large hearted man, he has be-
come dear to the people of Norway
because of his many acts of generosity
to the poor. .g5l .a
He was born at Salterod, near Aren-
dahl, September 19, 1S4S, and is there
fore over 64 years of age. He was ad-
mitted to the University of Chirstiania
as student in the sixties, graduating
in 1857, when he took up the study Of
engineering at Goteborg, Sweden. His
father was a shipbuilder, and Gunnar
succeeded to the business after he
had acquired practical experience as
a builder Of vessels in Sweden and
other countries. He has stuck to the
business since and has amassed large
fortune, but of late years he has lived
for the most part on his country
estate He is interested in variety
of enterprises and industries and has
shown his liberality by establishing
many large legacies for the benefit of
worthy institutions and classes. He
began his public career as "Ordforer"
for Gjerpen, and in 1890 was first
elected member of the Storthing,
serving till 1897, when he voluntarily
retired. In 1900 he again entered the
Storthing. and in 1894 was chairman
of the special committee which came
forward with the proposition that Nor
way ought to have it's own consular
officers, independent Of Sweden. This
was stubbornly resisted by Sweden
and was one Of the causes which led
to the break between the two coun-
tries in 1905. He became minister of
finance in the Blehr cabinet in 1901,
and proposed the tariff law which was
enacted finally in 1905, and which
was Of great benefit tc the industries

The pharmaceutical Institute at
Stockholm has been so poorly attend
ed the past year that the directors
find that the appropriation for the
year will not cover the expenses.
They have therefore made application
for an additional appropriation to
make up the deficiency. It is thought
that the general prosperity of the past
year or two has diverted the atten-
tion of the young men to other fields
of endeavor. ~

you-this district has been raising
fruit for thirty years It's Just across
the line from Spokane-oniy little
ways from the Bitter Root Valley ir-
rigated district. But We are far
enough west so that We do not have
to irrigate and as irrigation is ex-
pensive, we make that much more
money from our orchards and get a
better class of fruit-irrigation makes
fruit woody and pithy. Don't take our
word for it-eat an irrigated apple
and then eat an apple grown in our
district. That's all we ask. Kootenay
Lake is known as the prize-winning
district of B. c. and the west because
cur crops are grown from natural
rainfall. And We are far enough
east so that we do not have to con-
tend with the RAINY SEASON of the
