The Reason.

Denver, Colo. Mrs. Dewey c.
Bailey, president of the Woman s
Club of this city, has explained why
the women of Colorado who have suf-
frage, defeated the prohibitory
amendment at the polls. Colorado is
the first state where women have had
the opportunity of voting on state
wide prohibition.
She said: 1T was defeated be-
cause prohibition does not prohibit,
and everybody knows it. In other
words it does not mean what it says;
if it did we would all be for it, wo-
men and men, but it doesn't. In ev-
cry state where it has been tried
crime and drunkenness are rampant
They cannot sell whiskey and beer
openly, but they sell alcohol and pois-
onous liquids secretly, which is mil
lion times worse.
Women are a unit in wanting the
things that will protect the young,
the helpless and the feeble minded.
But no thoughtful, sensible woman
believes that an unenforced law that
permits secret, and because it is a
secret, an alluring traffic, to be in
dulged in, is a good law. They want
to do the best, the right thing, but
they are against the encouragement
of secret vice, which is million
times more detrimental than an open
evil.
You can guard against the last,
the first is beyond control. Local OPP
ton may not be the best thing, but
1t is better than prohibitive measures
that do not prohibit"

Want to Divide County.

Swea City, Ia, Dec. 30.-The idea
of dividing Kossuth county into two
parts, similar to the size of other
northern Iowa counties, has been re-
vised and may be put up to the leg
islature and voters at an election. AS
it is, Algona is the county seat and
is a long way from the center. On
the other hand, if the county is di-
yided a new county seat will have to
be named. 1t may be decided to Sc
lect another place in which to hold
court.

COUNTY AUDITORS WANT SHARE
Claim They are Entitled to Twenty.
five Per Cent of Annual Income
For Fees, Etc.

Webster City, Dec. 30.-The coun-
ty auditors of the state who annually
collect 100000 from hunters licens-
es and turn it into the state treas
ury, will try to have the legislative
committee give at least 25 per cent
of the income for fees and the gen.
eral fund. Each auditor claims they
do all the work and say it is not more
than fair that they themselves have
at least part of the incomes.
The hunters will fight this action
on the part of the auditors as they
realize if this action is taken by the
legislature, their chances for i'm
proved hunting conditions will not
be as good as formerly.

Cooler Weather Helps
Dry Goods Business

Marshall Field x Co. in their week
ly review of the dry goods trade, say:
Current dry goods business is re-
spending sensitively to weather condi-
lions. The few cooler days last week
stimulated retain sales and resulted in
an increased volume OF wholesale reor-
ders, while the milder temperature for
a few days this week wes accompanied
by comparative quiet in the sale of
heavier goods. Dealers are watching
demand very carefully and are operating
with light stocks, which is reflected in
heavy mail orders. Merchants who
have complete stocks are doing good
business in most sections Fall lines
are being disposed OF satisfactorily,
which buyers look upon as justification
for the preparation they are making for
large trade in winter and holiday goods
during the rest of the year
"A normal amount of future bust
ness was booked during the week, as
contrasted with the same period year
ago. Collections are good, showing an
increase over the high mark reached
during the corresponding week in 1907

The official weight statement, giving
the average weight per bale for the

Of the season as 5247S pounds, against
529 ~ pounds last year, is considered a
strong proof in favor Of small crop ar

lighter weight than last year, in spite of
the rainy weather. Spot people general

This spot news renewed confidence
and the future market displayed a
