BIG CANE IN IOWA
IN THE. EARLY DAYS
Writer in the Iowa Journal Of His
tory and Politics Tells Of
Elk, Bear, Etc. n
SIS si,t 5At Il

, r-v y. ty+ 4 E
There are hundreds Of men in
Iowa at the present time whose fav-
orite sport is to go out during the
hunting season after rabbits, quail,
or Wild ducks. But If these men
had lived in Iowa sixty or seventy
years ago they could have hunted
larger game. In the January num-
Der of rThe Iowa Journal of History
and Politics. published by the State
Historical Society Of Iowa, there is
printed a diary or journal kept by
Captain James Allen while on a
dragon expedition into northern
Iowa in 1914. On August 31st Cap
tain Allen made the following rec
ord: Spent much of this day in
pursuit of elk that we could not ov-
ertake; chased and killed a large
black bear found out on the prairie;
the bear being driven into the
midst of the column, made consid-
cradle commotion among the horses
and teams, and it seemed as though
every man in the command had TAX
en- one or more shots at him before
he was brought down" Again, on
September 18th. Captain Allen re-
corded: "This is surely a fine buff
falo country, the prairie is cut up
with their trails in all directions,
and we have seen many small par
ties during the day, but, as yet, no
large herd. Just before we went in
to camp, | saw several at distance
and allowed some Of the men to give
them chase. They soon killed four.
In the afternoon, killed an antelope.
and we saw ten more in a short dis
lance among the gentle hills on the
prairie"

COMMITTEE AGAINST
THE CHASE !. ]. BILL
Declare That Ballot is Natural
ight-Majority Of Women
Want to Vote.

| At meeting of the Iowa Equal
Suffrage legislative committee, a
committee was appointed to prepare
a statement setting forth the rea-
sons for opposing the enactment Pc OF
the Chase Bill as law.
The following is the report Of the
committee:
Iowa women are opposed to the
Chase bill for the following reasons:
The women are asking for the
ballot on the eternal principle OF
justice.
The Chase bill is founded on the
theory that the ballot should not be
given to women until all the women
want it.
This theory is at once Illogical.
unsound and untenable from any
standpoint of reason.
In our form of government, the
ballot is natural right and the
most formidable weapon of man
kind. Indeed, without the ballot
any man or woman is degraded, de-
pendent and servile.
Is the test sought to be applied.
when all the women want it"
fair? This test has never been APP
piled in good faith. Neither men nor
women are ever unanimous on any
question.
A we'll known legal maxim is that
the law will not require the doing of
foolish and unnecessary things. The
Chase measure is not only unneces-
sary and foolish but expensive and
extravagant.
If the Chase bill shall become a
law and fifty thousand women vote,
their voting is not important-their
votes determine nothing-have no
legal effect on the suffrage question.
or on any other question, and are
therefore not only foolish and use
less but violative of sincerity, and
the dignity required and demanded
of law makers.
We believe that the great major
ity Of women want it, and would SO
vote. and If their vote were legal
vote or meant anything and was not
altogether frivolous this law would
not be so repugnant-Des Moipes
Capital.
AS the Freeman-Tribune under
stands the Chase bill, it gives the
women of Iowa the right to say at
the ballot box whether or not they
want to assume the duties and re-
sponsibilities of voting. 1t is not, as
the suffrage committee contends,
/ necessary that every woman vote for
suffrage in order to secure it. II
majority want the ballot that will
| be sufficient. It looks like fair
proposition and in opposing 1t the
committee indicates that it fears
majority of the women Of Iowa do,
not want to vote.

Nothing Accomplished.

The attendance at the business
meeting of the Congregational
church last evening, to consider the
building proposition, was not very
large, owing probably to the dis
agreeable state of the weather. Diff
ferent ones present discussed the
matter before the meeting but no
definite action was taken and it was
finally voted to adjourn, subject to
the call OF the chairman of the board
of trustees.
