have that much, there are SO many
firms in the business now and when
few more open up for business
no doubt they will raise another two
dollars a car, and keep on raising.
No wonder there is howl against
the high cost of living when you con-
slider the host of middle men all get
ting a good rake at everything that
the producer furnishes.

have the power within our reach if
we will band together like the mid

I win admit. -


against the passage of the equal suf-
frage bill in the Illinois legislature on
the day it passed. He was Lee O'Neil
Browne, one of the men who put
over" Lorimer. Praise from him was
indeed praise from Caesar. And the
four women who had furnished the
brains for this brainest of Hobbies sat
in the gallery and smiled. Browne
made one of them smile again when,
in the course of his speech he said
that part of his prejudice against the.
bill was due to heredity.
The lady who smiled the second
time was Mrs. Joseph Medi1l McCor-
mick, the daughter of the late Sena-
tor Mark Hanna. Beside her in the
galleries were Mrs. Grace Wilbur
Trout, president of the Equal Suf-
frage league of Illinois; Mrs. Eliza
beth K. Booth, chairman of that or
ganization's legislative committee,
and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, who de-
scribed herself as merely a soldier
Of the ranks"
This quartet constituted the lobby
that caused Browne to marvel, and
the way in which they worked their
bill through the legislature is not only
a credit to them, but Mrs. McCor-
mick thinks, to the brains and pas
sion for organization of her father.
For it was an adoption of the Hanna
methods to the Illinois situation that
was a great factor in the final out
come.
The famous card index system
Hanna introduced to national politics
was used by Mrs. Trout and Mrs. Nc
Cormick and their associates. Long
an ardent suffragist Mrs. Trout COM
bined her great knowledge of the
cause with Mrs. McCormick's ability
as campaign executive, and with
Mrs. Funk and Mrs. Booth these two
women planned a systematic cam
paign that just simply had to bring

attacked

the proposition in an earnest manner.
Their bill was introduced in the legis-
lature last February and soon passed
the senate. For so years a suffrage
bill had been introduced and promptly
passed by one of the houses to fail in
the other. When the first house had
passed it this year the lobby went to
work. Every member of the legisla-
ture was investigated. Every single
word he had spoken on the suffrage
question and every letter he had writ
ten in connection with other public
questions was examined. A good idea
of this habit of thought being secured
and carefully indexed the women
then visited the legislators personally.
They talked business" every minute
of the time. They met every argu-
ment advanced against their cause:
they explained every detail of their
plans. They were on the floor of the
house every day during the session.
A perfect system was followed and
the result was-victory.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout has been
spoken of as the ideal type of suffra-
gist. = An accomplished woman, the
mother of three boys who have had
every care and attention It is possible
for a mother to give, she has all her
life taken deep interest in public
questions. A native of Iowa she is a
graduate of an Iowa college and was
trained especially for public speaking.

MEMBER OF DELTA COMPANY
HOME ON FURLOUGH

THE Delta boys over in Camp
Walsnburg who were called out to do
service in the strike fields near Trim
idad are feeling fine, said Ben
Hawks, a member of the guards, who
was here a few days last week on
furlough in order that he might look
after important personal matters de-
manding attention.
An Independent reporter heard
him remark to friends at the depot
on Monday morning just before board
ing the train on his return trip, that
for few days they all had hopes OF
being released, but that lately there
seemed to be no possibility for this
and that the general impression now
prevailed that the troops would be
held in the Trinidad district all win
ter
Ben stated that they had had moth
ing to do since the first few days af-
ter their arrival in the coal fields
when they made a search and capture
or arms and ammunition in the pos5-
ession of the strikers. Since that
time the daily routine is a certain
amount of guard duty. daily drilling,
and then a general good time. The
snow storm a short time since which
struck Denver and all other points OH
the Eastern slope with such pro-
nounced force, was also in evidence
in the strike zone and soldier boys
have forsaken their tents and be-
come residents of hotels.

A SYSTEM OF
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS

The idea Of national highways,
built and maintained entirely by the
government, has no stauncher advo-
cate than Judge J. NJ. Lowe of Kan
sas City, Missouri. Judge Lowe, who
is vice president of the National
Highway association, and president
of the National Old Trails Road asso-
citation, the National Old Trails Road
department of the National Highways
association. does not believe that good
results can be effected by what is
known as federal aid" or national
aid; last of all, by that form of aid
which proposes that the government
appropriation should not be spent on
roaliroad stations.
In an open letter to Governor Major
of Missouri Judge Lowe says:
IF fifty million dollars were appro-
priated annually it would average
about one million to each state if dis
tributed equally.
"If Missouri should get one million
dollars and should distribute it equall-
iy to every county throughout the
state, she could build about four-fifths
of a mile OF hard surfaced road in
each county.
But there are those in congress
q don't think they are to be found
elsewhere). who seem 10 have a vague
notion that the thing TO do is TO
make the railroad depot the hub and
radiate from that point to reach the
farmers produce; but let's see how
that would work.
Tn a great many counties there
are several lines Of railroad Who
will decide which line to prefer? If
all lines are to be treated equally
what would the result be?
Take Missouri for example. She
has an average OF, say. ten depots in
each county. II each county can
build only four-fifths of mile out o.
each fifty million dollars appropria
ton then each depot would get -wc
twenty-fifths of mile annually. if ap
preparations were kept up.
AT that rate it would take twelve
and one-half years to get one mile OF
road out from each deot
The average haul in Missouri is
nine miles, so It would take 112 years
to build one road out from each depot
to meet the requirements of an aver
age haul, and to "radiate" on only
four directions would take 44s years
II an appropriation of fifty million
dollars were made annually.
What is the reasonable thing &c
do?
And how are we to get the roads
IF so million dollars is appropriat
ed annually for only six years and ap
piled to a system of national highway:
il will build thirty thousand miles Al
an average cost of $4,000 per mile.
81 believe that this is a reasonable
estimate for first class road.
This system could be made to fur
nish an average Of two trunk line:
across the continent, and all connect
ed with the national capital"
