SUFFRAGETTES GAINING
IN CITY OF WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81
Old residents of the capital city say
that the most remarkable develop
ment among federal employees in
generation is the recent wholesale
conversion of the women clerks to
the suffrage cause. Sixty days ago
these thousands of women were prac-
tically untouched by the propaganda
so familiar in the state. Since thu
National Woman Suffrage association
opened Offices downtown in prepara-
tion for the parade of March 8, and
sent its comeliest missionaries out to
speak on the street corners, the
change of heart has been of proper
tions only equalled in the old-fashioh-
ed religious revivals.
The woman clerks enthusiasm for
suffrage is based on her idea that
when she votes she can abolish tps
system Of preferment which gives M
an average of so per cent betteuy
for equal work in Uncle Sans Offices

Was there ever more fragrant mis-
use of money than Senator Hecker
exposed in the senate the other day
by the State School of Mines. Mind
you the money was appropriated by
the legislature and Governor Shafroth
was in charge. No doubt at times
some Herald readers have considered
The Herald prejudiced, but when
Democratic members of the general
assembly make the expose there
should be no further doubling. While
Durango people were digging so much
per month to keep the Fort Lewis
school going last winter Shafroth
boards and Shafroth appointees were
squandering state funds to beat the
band. The Herald will keep these
matters, along with freak legislation,
before the people until they stop vot-
ing for such conditions.

Olathe, Montrose county, shipped
831 cars of potatoes last fall to ea IT

loaded at Olathe station thirtyscven
cars of apples and 152 of sugar beets.
There is no reason in the world why

There are some who are inclined to
criticize President Taft for non-in-
reference in Mexican affairs. This
is wrong. 1t is easy enough to issue
an intervening order but how about
the execution. This would be left to
Mr.. Taft,s successor and he may or
may not be in favor of the plan. 1t
is the decent thing for Taft to delay
action and leave the entire PROPOSE
tion to his successor who is evidently
as well posted as the acting presi-
dent. 1t is sure when intervention
takes place there is going to be some
fighting.

It is now charged that the state civil
service commission is guilty of will
full favoritism. The charge is made
in protest filed with the commission
by W. l.. Clayton, superintendent of
insurance, through his attorney, w.

one or more of his competitors in the
examination for superintendent of in
surance held Jan. 23 last, were secret

propounded, in advance of the ex-
animation, and that these questions
were prepared and the ratings made
by person not in the service of the
state and unconnected with the civil
service commission.

paratively easy to get part of this

hastily would be exceedingly danger
Gus and would invite disaster.
For perhaps sixty miles the railroad
from Vera Cruz runs through an un-
healthful low country. Then it be-
gins to rise to the plateau of Mexico,
5000 feet above the sea. The Amer

Cruz and its vicinity would be more
seriously menaced by the deadly dis
eases of the tropics than the attack
of the enemy.
Once the advance was begun, it
would be necessary to leave strong
guard at every point along the rail
road. 1t is to be presumed that the
Mexicans would attempt to destroy the
railroad in advance of the coming of
the Americans. As this railroad runs
for the greater part Of the way be-
tween two great mountains, making
necessary very many bridges and tun-

the Mexicans by destroying bridges or
blocking tunnels, seriously to impede

ENCOURAGE FARM
AGENTS SAYS PAGE
Thinks Their Work i'm Arkansas
Has Proven of Great Value
To the Farmers

The Farm Demonstration Agents
are doing a great work in this
state. and it is barely possible that
they are not fully appreciated by
the farmers or the business ele-
ment. If can do anything to in
crease the interest of the farmers
in the work of these agents,
think | should do so, for there is
no doubt that the result of their
work is going to be felt in the
next few years.
Many of the farmers have hest
tated to adopt the methods of the
agents, and many more have re-
fused outright to follow their
teaching, and still others have dis
agreed with them about the meth
DDS they suggested or employed in
cultivating the ordinary crops.
But the fact remains that their
presence and activity has Stimulat-
ed a greater interest in Arkansas,
and whether or not their ideas be
accepted and methods adopted or
their teaching be followed, their
presence among the people has
made the farmers think more and
talk more, and incidentally learn
more of the different methods
of farming in general, and the
growing of cotton and corn in
particular.
The farmers should remember
that the agents are sent out to
help them, and they should give
them encouragement and cooper
ate with them. The agents are
trying to demonstrate the methods
of the government not their meth
ods-and the government is al
ways ready to abandon a method
when they find a better one.
When a farmer knows of any i'm
proved method of cultivation in
the growing of any crop he should
tell the agent at once, that the
method may reach the Depart
ment and be tried out and If a
good one, be given to other farm
erS. We must remember among
