VOTES FOR WOMEN.

LIE 'WoTld tOuay TeceIVcu cOluuu
nicatiop from the North Dakota Votes
for Women League, asking US to do al
within our power to further the cause
of woman IS suffrage.
1t is very little that the average
country newspaper can do to further
any cause, however righteous and just
but what we can do to advance the
cause of votes for women we are
more than willing to do.
There is absolutely no valid reason
why women should not be allowed to
vote, while on the other hand there
are many reasons why they SHOULD be
allowed the ballot.
For instance, the worst woman who
ever lived is, in our opinion, better
than the best of men. You doubt
thisa It is proposition which can
be easily demonstrated.
Women, giving birth to future citi.
zens, should, naturally, be entitled to
voice in how they are to be brought
up, and what influences are to sur.
round them. !.
Woman's intuition is better than
mans judgment. Reasoning from a
common premise, woman will more oft.
en- reach correct conclusion and come
more nearly to arriving at common
justice than man.
, We submit that 1t is not fair that a
woman, conce,ving and carrying q
child, giving birth to him, rearing him,
watching over him, guarding him from
temptation, doing her best to build up
character and trying to make him
respectable and law abiding citizen,
should be denied the right to say oy
what temptations he shall be surround.
ed, or by what laws he shall be gov
erned: It is inconceivable that one
half Of our population, admittedly the
equal and in most cases the superior
of the other half, mentally and moral
ly, shall be denied any voice in the
conduct of our affairs.
The true destiny of woman is to be
a mother. And if granted the right
(and it is divine rightly to become a
mother, is it net ridiculous, nay, alb.
horent, the idea that she should have
nothing to say about what they, whom
she brought into the world with pain
and travail, should do or how thew
should act, or by what laws they should
be governed, or by what temptations
they should be surrounded, after they
had arrived on this mundane spheres
Gentlemen, when you come to vote
on this question, and Governor Hanna,
when you come to sign OF veto this
measure, remember that your mothe,
was a woman. And when we saw she
was woman. is there anything more
to says
Woman, not man is the noblesl
work Of God. And as such, she is en-
titled to every privilege accorded
mortals, and this is not EXCEPTING IN,
ballot.

WHAT Is AN AMATEuR7

The whole nation is shaken by the
disclosures which may necessitate re.
turning the prizes won at the Olympic
games by Thorpe, the American In
dian athlete who has been the wonder
OF the era. 1t seems that when this
man was boy he played baseball
and took money for it, although he did
not play for money, and this makes
him professional in ali other lines If
sport. :'"S. . -, - 80
The whole trouble which is one that
assails our American athletic councils
every year, is due to the un-American
and ridiculous system in vogue under
the control of the Amateur Athletic
union. 1t is a system directly founded
On the English custom of defining an
amateur as one who does: adt have TO
work for living. .,5a=
The amateur" business was origi-
nally started for the purpose of ke5p.
ing plebians out Of the athletics that
the leisure classes :might.not have to
como into contact with ::thhs worssag
classes in their sports. Moro, and more

Some of the cleanest college men in
America are, on. record in favor of al
lowing students to help pay their way
through school by playing: baseball
in summer, and not barring them from
college sports. The sports of college
should be open to all students who are
in school on the square for the purpose
of getting an education. But this
system has grown and grown until
man who is poor cannot indulge in
amateur athletics unless he deliberate
ly lies.
OF course, America in entering the
Olympic games, under the. conditions
imposed, was obliged to honestly live
up to those conditions and does 50
honorably in the Thorpe matter.
But back Of the whole trouble is
the vicious and un-American system,
imposed by James E. Sullivan and
Casper Whitney and the self-anointed
keepers Of the nations athletic con.

English "No man should be allowed

REHEARTNG FOR MACHOLD.

AS stated in the Republican last
week a petition is being circulated
asking for a re-hearing to deter
mine whether or not Carl Machold
is insane. Quite a list of names
have been attached to the petition,
and it is probable that another hear
ing may be secured.
The state has had such hearing
and so far as it is concerned the in
cident is closed. Governor Haines
made a careful investigation of the
history of the case about the time
Machold was sent to the Asylum, ana
it does not appear that he is inclin-
