SUFFRAGETTES GIVE
LEGISLATORS A SCARE
Talk of Inviting" Senators and
Representatives from Suffrage
States to March with Them.
frrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Jan. 3O.-Members OF
Congress from the ten states per-
hitting women 10 vote may be drafted
as marchers by the suffragettes for
their parade on the afternoon before
Inauguration day, and those who have
heard Of the idea are unmistakably
scared.
The suffragettes believe it would be
IAN awful nice stunt" to show off the
legislators they helped elect, but the
score Of Senators and more than a
hundred Representatives do not take
that view
They would not dare refuse if We
asked them declared one of the suf
fragettes, who may be called mildly
militant. "Of course. it would be in
timidation, but all the same It would
give an opportunity for us to see where
our Representatives stand"
The plan was discussed at suffragette
headquarters, and 1t did not take long
for the news to spread. Members Of
Congress who depend on men only for
votes freely 'Joshed' their colleagues
who arc threatened with Invitations to
do a little hiking.

sisterin-law Of the Secretary Of War.

May II. the Secretary OF War reiterated
to-day his policy that further extensions

Incidentally, Secretary Stimson observed
that he still was waiting for the New

Representations were made to Mr. Slim

MECHANICS LIEN
LOST PRECEDENCE

The lumbermen and contractors no
longer have the exclusive snap in
North Dakota they formerly enjoyed.
The mechanics lien has been subjugat-
ed. It no longer runs rampant over
the state taking precedence over first
mortgages, even if filed later.
The last legislature restrained the
wild career Of the mechanics lien. A
man might make first mortgage loan
on piece of land or building, get a
clear abstract and think he was safe.
but if some lumber or contractors bill
incurred prior to the mortgage was
unpaid( a mechanics lien could be
placed on the property apd it would
have to be satisfied first.
This cannot happen any more. Due
notice of intention to foreclose or file
liens must now be given and the own
er's consent must be secured. The lien
cannot take precedence over any mort.
gage fled prior. The old measure was
regarded as class legislation in the in.
terests Of the lumber dealers and con,
tractors.

BREAK
into DEPOT

The depot was broken into Monday
night and robbed of several consign-
ments of freight and express. Among
the articles stolen was a package Of
clothes for Bernstein, the tailor valued
at $780, Also three kegs Of beer and
box of liquor. This seemed to be the
main things the parties were after as
other packages were left. AS soon as
the robbery was discovered search was
made for the thieves and the stolen
property with results that the beer and
a few Of the clothes were found in
a wheat field near the depot.
A message from Lawton the morning
following the robbery stated that three
fellows wearing new clothes were al
that place, but on going down Marshal
Oakley found that the clothes were not
Of the ones stolen and made no arrest.
So far, no clue whatever as to the
identity Of the thieves has been found
and perhaps never will. The task is
made doubly hard owing to the fact
that so many strangers are in Edmore
now, and that the authorities have no
than another.-Edmore HeraM-New

CATTLE GANG
ROUNDED UP

Marmarth, n. D., Sept. 3-An ar
rest which the Billings county officials
believe may result in bringing to JUS
tice members of an organized gang of
stock rustlers, operating in the Dako
tas, Montana and Wyoming, was made
at Willard, Mont, yesterday by Dcpu-
ty Sheriff Walter johnson Of this place.
On Monday johnson received infor
nation that ten horses had been stol-
en- from the Sheets and Perigo ranches
about twenty miles east of Marmarth.
Although the crime was week old
the sheriff was able to follow the trai'
taken by the herd which was driven
south through the Pine hills ant il
Montana, the horses being located in
a pasture on Box Elder creek.
Hudson, former employee of Sheets
was suspected and when found at Will
lard, confessed the theft, but said he
had been hired to do it by two men
whose records the sheriff is now inves-
tigating.

THE LOAFER.

Here the Summer loafer stands; in
his pockets are his hands; and the boss
of all the grange comes and says: "I
am needing toilers now to reap and
men to pillow, and Illl feed them full
of porterheuse and pies. Ample wages
and will I pay, by the month or by the
day, if you'll only WELD pitchfork
or spade; and you'll draw your pay in
cash, and you III have the best Of hash
and schooner every hour of lemon
aae." Says the idle corner shirk: ct
would surely like to work, but my dy-
ing granny made me take vow, that
I'd never, never toll with the nerve
destroying soil, that I'd never risk my
life behind a pillow. For her uncle g
brother, Jules. walked behind pair
Of mules, blowing up fertile meadow
by the sea; and the mules reached out
behind with their heels and knocked
him blind and my granny feared a
kindred fate for me.' Said the gran
ger; "Oh, the duce! You always have
] an excuse, you big loafers who are rot
ting in the sun. And the honest men
who work must support the moldy
shirk, when the summer with its har.
vesting is done. Which is why often
think that the country's on the blink;
if on government were worth a pint
of pitch, every loafer foul and stale
would be breaking rock in Jail, while
the sheriff hecked his midriff with a
switch. '-Walt Mason.

TO STER|L|zE
STATE INSANE
BOARD OF CONTROL WILL EN-
FORCE THE RECENT
STATUTE

The board of CONTROL OF state insti-
tutions at their recent meeting ap-
pointed DR.. R. G. DePuy, a member of
the board of examiners of the state
hospital for the insane, in matters per-
tanning to the sterilization of the in
sane. Heredity is the most important
factor in the increase of insanity at
the present time and through the eff
forts of Superintendent Hotchkiss OF
the state hospital, bill for the steril-
ization of detectives was passed by the
last legislature, one of the best far
reaching laws passed.
Hereafter all patients who are pa
rolled or discharged from the state
hospital, in whom the possibility OF
procreation is evident shall be sub.
Ject to the simple operation of vasec-
tony, which will prevent the propaga
tion of their kind. In the state hos
Ntal at the present time are five men,
bers Of one family who are blessed
(7) with forF-three children, half of
whom are married. There is every
reason to believe that these children
and their children will eventually be-
come public charges, and in this man
ner is insanity increased.
The greatest menace of today is
the feeble minded girl, and greater
provision should be made for their
care. No feeble minded boy nor any
feeble minded girl under the child
bearing age should be taken care of
until all feeble minded girls Of child
bearing age are segregated and
steriGzed. Authentic statistics show
that from the union Of two such per-
sons. 295 descendants have become
public charges in seventy five years.
Approximate figure holding good for
insane. It is to overcome this posi-.
bflity that the sterilization bin was
passed, and it, enforcement should be
welcomed by all thinking people.

TO THE cow.
Kansas City Times.

The following tribute to the esw is
from a toast written by the late H..
q Adams for the Breeders Gazette
seventeen years ago. Mr.. Adams was
then state dairy commissioner of Wis
consin.
The civilized world pays tribute to
the COW. She is the one thing that
man can always get something out Of.
She is one Of the few stock concerns
Of the country that the bondholders
have little chance to milk.
She runs a business college, and
teaches men to keep accounts and
figure profit and loss. She is the
symbol of contentment, the one thing
needful in American life.
She is life itself to countless chill
dren stranded upon the barren bosoms
and hollow hearts Of degenerate mod
ern motherhood.
She comes in at evening bringing
with her the sweet breath of the
meadows, whose velvet turf and GRIM
son clover mingle their fragrance in
the dear old summer days.
You lean over the fence as she
comes into the yard and stands quiet
~ chewing her cud in the afterglow
Of the sunset which touches lightly the
hills, and suddenly you drop out Of
yourself, your pains your disappoint-
ments, your hopes your pride and
become boy again, barefooted,
with the chores to do. You hear
the faint tinkle of the cowbeA upon
neighborhood farm. 1t is the key
,:ote of memories Of days of steatfy
work. of nights of rest of pleasure
that had no sting, Of world small
but clean, with the light Of heaven
upon it. It was simple, wholesome
kind Of a life, and in the picture
the COW, "the mother Of men," was
a central figure, and always whether
dainty Jersey or lerdly shorthorn, she
brings back the golden days Of boy
hoon and gir1hood.
