FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Committee of National Leaders Con-
fer With President Wilson.

Washington, March 17.-Suffrage
for the women of the United States
by constitutional amendment was for
mally presented to Mr.. Wilson by a
committee of national leaders in the
movement. Mr.. Wilson was urged to
recommend for the special session of
congress action of such an amend
ment, but he told his visitors he had
not made up his mind on the suffrage
question.
The president was courteous and
sympathetic throughout said Mrs.
Ida Huston Harper of New York, one
of the leaders of the National Wo-
mems Suffrage association.
He said there were many pressing
questions to come up at the extra SEES
sion, and that if he did not recon-
mend action on the question he did
not want it to be taken as an indica-
ton of his general attitude, as he was
not committing himself yet
Other members of the party said
the president viewed the woman suf-
frage idea as a question of great prac-
teal importance. There were indi-
cations, they said, that the president
was open minded on the subject The
committee had a half hour of the
presidents time

Up to the County Supervisors

Des Moines, June 1S.-The whole
responsibility for the care and treat
iLent OF INDECENT persons suffering
with pulmonary tuberculosis is now
sGuarely placed upon the cCunty
boards of supervisors. This was ac-
compIlshed when last winter the leg
isiature enacted a law by which
boards OF supervisors We're author
lzed to make adequate provision for
the care and treatment of persons
suffering with this disease. 1t is
recognized that hospital care of this
class of individuals is the only prop
er method by which to control the
spread OF their dreadful infection.
The people are thoroughly aroused
to this necessity and are demanding
OF the men invested with this re-
sponslbllity that something be done.
The law is plain. 1t authorizes
county boards to either provide local
hospitals or to arrange with insti-
tutlons already in operation for the
proper care of tuberculosis sick.
Boards may eXpend $500 per week
per patient SO treated. The law is
regarded as most beneficient and ev-
eryWhere, we'll informed people are
demanding that supervisors shall
examine carefully into the question.
cursory investigation reveals the
fact that there are few cities in
the state which do not have a num-
Der of advanced consumptives who
need immediate hospital care. They
are menace to the entire commun-
lty and humanity demands that they
snail be properly treated. 1t would
be we'll if intelligent men and wo-
men formed themselves into groups
to study the whole question of the
control and relief of tuberculosis
and its great value to humanity. II
would be we'll to communicate at
once with the department on tuber-
culosls, regarding the matter. It
may De interesting to know that
quite a number of boards of suner-
vlsors are already planning to carry
out the laW.-Aretas E. Kepford.

Seven Million for Roads.

While the Iowa legislature was
afraid to use even an automobile tax
for the states portion OF expense in
aiding the localities to build hard
surface roads and while the Iowa
farmer in many cases was fairly pan
ic stricken at what seemed to him
faced roads, all because Of lack OF
information upon the subject. the
Legislature of Ohio got right in line
with the more advanced states upon
road improvement. Every bill
asked for by the good roads en-
thusiasts was passed. A state levy
of half mill was authorized for
state aid. 1t will yield $4,000, 600
annually and will be used by the
state in paying half the cost of con-
structing permanent hard surfaced
roads, the other half being paid by
the counties. A system of inter-
county highways was designated up
on which three-fourths of all state
work must be done while one-fourth
of state aided work can be done on
system of main roads leading into
market cities and towns.
Hard surfaced roads have long
been built in Ohio from county bond
issues and some of her counties have
become famous for thei: magnificent
macadamized and pavco roads, there
being some 400 miles of brick and
concrete pavements on rural roads
in the vicinity of Cleveland alone
Now the people of Ohio, who know
what hard road is worth are going
to have their state spend 100000
annually upon road building while
$1,000, 900 per annum for hard sur
faced roads in Ohio.
The trouble with the people of
Iowa is that they have been stuck in
their mud so long that they do not
know how to get out. They will not
even listen to those who have seen
how it is done in other states.-Mar-
shalltown Times-Republican.

A PraisewOrthy Example.

Mr.. Silas Rogers, of the vicinity
of Pleasanton, drove over to Line
vile Sunday in his big Overland car
to meet his two foster daughters,
who came up to Lineville on the
morning train from Princeton where
they had been attending the Teach
ers Institute. Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers
who are childless, took four bright
orphan children, two girls and two
boys, brothers and sisters, several
years ago from the Orphans Home at
Des Moines and have given them the
most affectionate care and training.
Few natural parents could have
done more for their own children
than have Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers for
these boys and girls, and It is graft
tying to know that this kind and
worthy couple are now enjoying a
rich reward FOR: their sacrifice and
care Lineville Tribune.
