Colonel Roosevelt on his recent
speaking tour urged the voters in Mis-
souri, and Ohio to adopt equal suffrage
at the polls this fall One Of the first
things that he said in St. Louis was:
"You will note that / addressed you

my belief in the ultimate triumph of
democratic principles in this country
on my conviction that every man in
America is good fellow and his wife

could do so. ! want you men in Mis-

sense as those of the men of Illinois, -
At Toledo, Ohio, Colonel Roosevelt
said:

distillers have taken the field against
woman suffrage because they regard
the entry of women into the rights of
citizenship as danger to the domi-

trying more and more to establish.

every saloon was headquarters for the
fight against woman suffrage.

WOMAN vi SUFFRAGE AND THE

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, President
of the National American Woman SUI

following letter from Senator Cham

that you do not approve Of the
course that is being followed by.

even where such Democrats have
been long and consistent friends
or the cause in which you have
KS. such valiant service. This is in
line with your good letterto me Of +
February 18th last. and it. seems
" to me that it is. the wise as well
as the just course to pursue. Why

Despite the ringing of bells, etc., but
a small audience was out to hear Miss .
Minnie Bronson tell ''how 80 DER cent
of the women Of North Dakota do not:
want to vote" last Thu. sI,y evening.
And larea majority of this snail aud
fence We're local advocates Of woman
suffrage.
AS near as the writer could see, Miss.
Bronson offered but one argument
against suffrage, it being that the wo-
men of North Dakota could accomplish
far more without the ballot than with
it, and Offering as proof of this state
ment the condition of Colorado laws in
comparison with states which do not
stated that in Colorado there were as
many women voters as men, but she
has evidently failed to look up statis-
tics which show that the women of
that state are outnumbered nearly
two to one by the men.
Then, too. in speaking of what Colo
RADIO women had been able to accom-
plish she neglected to tell of the set
Element of the recent Colorado labor
war, which great work was largely &C
complished by the women. How the
women of Colorado sent a delegation
to the, governor demanding that federal
troops be called in. and the governor
was. forced to meet the demand
= But then Miss Bronson was there to
tell but one side of the subject. and
these things could not be expected.
Another statement which Miss Bron--
son made in an attempt to substan-
tate her one argument was that, if wo-
men are given the ballot, they q. will
either be democrats, republicans, so
cialists or progressives. and as such
will be divided and unable to accom-
plish the reforms which they can
without the ballot This statement
lacks foundation, and if such is the
case the same argument might be pre-
scented against allowing the man to
vote.-A. S. '7 'F ''~' '7 - ."- 'sz"' "

Roosevelt Urges
Men To Grant
Women Ballot

pretty safe thing for decent men to
support.
II ask you to give the women the
right to vote, not only as matter Of
right to them, but as matter of JUS
tice to the men who are striving to do
what is right in the public interest"
Mr. Roosevelt also gave his support
at Columbus, where he said:
81 am sorry to say when I speak to
the voters of Ohio, that I am only
speaking to men. When I come to-
Ohio the next time, I hope and be-
lieve you will have seen to it that the
women have the same choice as you
have.
ct is rather comic in view of the
direful predictions, to see that Illinois
family life is just about the same as
it was before the women were given
the right to vote.
"The essence OF democracy is not in
the phrase, I am as good as you are
but in the saying that you are as good
as | am. See to the rights of others,
and that means the other woman. Re-
publican government, to be successful,
implies exceptionally able and free
people. Our people are, and our wo-
men are.
'"The real strength of the opposition
to woman suffrage is the influences
which represent the commercialized
side of the liquor traffic. That is pref
ty good proof that decent men will do
we'll to support$equal suffrage"

How to Accumulate a Competence in
Five Years.

One of the effects of the European
war will be the further defamation of
the worlds livestock supply. Already
there is shortage of meat animals in
the United States, and for some months
agricultural authorities have been urg-
ing farmers to greater efforts in the
production of livestock.
The arguments that have been adj
vanced are given tenfold strength by
the remarkable conditions that have
arisen in Europe. The N. Y. CONNER
cial. in discussing the war situation,
expresses the belief that Europe will
have exhausted its horses and meat
animals before the fighting ceases, and
that "deartb of supplies of food will
probably have as much to do with the
making of peace as the less of battles
on land and sea-" The Commercial
continues:
1.-THE waste of this war must be re-
paired after it is over, and it will be in
this work that neutral countries will
make their greatest profit. Farmers
must prepare to take advantage of the
opportunity that is sure to come. The
easiest way to accumulate a compe-
tence in the next five years lies in the
increase of the herds. The golden days
of the cattle boom in the West will be
as nothing when compared with the
profit of restocking the desolated farms
of Europe. The many always wonder
how tie few get rich. Every intelli-
gent farmer should be in comfortable
circumstances within five years, if he
will build for future that lis not far
distant. Raising livestock cannot be
over-done within that space of time,
and it goes well with other agricutu-
raj pursuits. F"
There is an opportunity here for the
farmers of Kentucky and the South in
general. The South should become the
great cattle raising section of the Unit
ed States. Every section of the coun-
try should profit by the expansion of
the livestock industry, but the South
should profit most of alI.-Louisville

Baton Rouge, La, Oct 20, 1914.
To the Louisiana Agents:
The following extracts are
from a letter of Mr.. Evans, act
ing special agent in charge, and
they clearly outline the policy of
the farm demonstration work:
las / wrote you in a previous
letter, the department is not 60
ing to engage in any campaign
for securing pledges from farm
ers and planters to reduce cotton
acreage for 1915. The only thing
that is going to relieve the cot
ton situation permanently is a
demonstration that the farmers
are reducing acreage. This dem
onstration, or proof, can only be
made by covering up the land
heretofore devoted to cotton with
other crops, such as oats, winter
cover crops of rye, barley and
the clovers. and preparing a large
acreage during the winter for
corn planting in March"
THE department believes in a
campaign for the permanent d.
versification of crops. the grow
ing of corn, oats. hay, other for
age crops and live stock. The
department does not believe in
arbitrary or enforced reduction
of acreage either by pledges or
legal enactment"
'Our slogan will be cover
up the land" Plant the land
with other crops so that the con-
sumers of cotton can see that
there is not so much to be plant
ed in cotton, and it will have its
effect. The world does not rely
on promises. They must see.
They must be shown. Show
them! Cover up the land!"
Now, do not misunderstood
the attitude OF the department.
That cotton acreage must be re-
duced, the department knows
full well. The salvation of the
cotton farmer depends on a bona
fide reduction of cotton for 1915.
The. department believes that
this reduction can best be brought
about by such a constructive plan
as is outlined above.
hope that this letter will en-
able you to see clearly your duty
In the important work before
you.
Wishing you success, | am,
