WHY NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS WIVES
SHOULD. HAVE THE BALLOT

Because, in true democracy all adults should
have voice in the government under which they
live.
Because, farmers wives are as mach or more
Interested in the making of the laws of the State
than farm laborers. inasmuch as they have to
obey the laws as well as the man.
Because, farmers wives are deeply concerned in
the educationo Of their children, and therefore
ought to have a}vnice in selecting the men who
have charge qof ahetschool funds.
Because, North Dakota farmers wives are as
and 1ert as those in the ten equal suf-
States where the ballot has been great help
to them. ga8A aJSftE e
Because, there are about eight times as many
women on the farms in North Dakota as in the
cities, and they ought to have direct representa-
ton when matters pertaining to their welfare are
decided on, SUCH sfor example, as rural free mail
delivery, good roads, telephone service marketing
Of farm producer agricultural high schools, social
centers in the country, travelling libraries, etc.
Because, North Dakota farmers wives are in
terested in all forward movements and want to
keep abreast of such progressive countries as
Norway, Iceland, Finland, ETC., whose aOonen
haze the full franchise
Because. farmers and farmers wives pay, d.
rectly and indirectly, the largest share Of the
taxes and ought to have the right to elect the Of
ficials who apportion the State taxes

New stars for the suffrage flag are coming cut
in every quarter Of the sky. Right after the grant
ing Of Parliamentary suffrage to women in lee
land follows the news that they have been given
municipal suffrage in South Africa, and that in

vote. The trend of the times is Enthusiastically in
the direction of equal suffrage. American women
cannot be long shut out from right which women

A telegram has just come to the effect that Mrs.
Antoinette Funk, member of the Congressional
Committee Of the National Suffrage Association,
was arrested last Saturday in Minot, North Dako-
ia, for speaking in the street for equal suffrage.
Mrs. Funk was addressing several hundred har-
vesters in Minot, when she was taken to jail and
treated to one Of the most ridiculous brands Of
Justice seen in recent years.
Mrs. Funk demanded and secured immediate
trial in the citv hall. Herself LAWYER she chal-
lenged the authorities to produce anv statute or
ordinance which she had violated. The authori-
ties replied that the statutes were locked up in the
safe and could not be produced!
Mrs. Funk protested that her arrest for street
speaking was unconstitutional. The justice fined
her five dollars, thus establishing precedent.
The fine was remitted, but the local suff ragists
are aroused and will appeal the case. Wpn,ans

1t was FRANCES e. WILLARD who said
few years ago, that next to being saint some
time, she had wished to be politician, and at
first thought we might wonder at this saying from
one Of her stamp.
But if the science of government consisted only
in the raising of armies and war carnage then let
men keep control of it. But if good government
means pure food, pure drugs, good roads, clean
streets, better education, sanitary school-rooms,
better homes to live in better conditions Of the in
dustrial workers of all ages for both sexes, bet
ter moral conditions, it is womans right, nay her
duty to take hand in the government IF the ma
ton, and who says that conditions are not i'm

Prayer OF An Old Engineer.

A pious old engineer on the Erie
railroad at Susquehanna used to say
his prayers aloud in the Young
Mems Christian association rooms
before starting on a trip. An in
ouisitive stenographer listened one
evening to this God-fearing man
and wrote down in his notebook the
earnest petition which is reproduced
below:
20 Lord, now that | have tagged
Thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them
safely on the deck of the train OF
salvation. Let me use the safety
lamp, known as prudence, make all
couplings in the train with the
strong link of Thy love, and let my
hand-lamp be the Bible. And,
Heavenly Father, keep all switches
closed that lead off on sidings,
especially those with a blind end.
O Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have
every semaphore block along the
line show the white light of hope,
that may make the run of life
without stopping. And, Lord, give
US the Ten Commandments for a
schedule; and when | haye finished
the run on schedule time and pulled
into the dark station of death, may
Thou, the Superintendent of the
universe, say: We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant; come and
sign the pay roll, and receive your
check for eternal happiness. "

the time, and some of the people all
the time, but you can't fool all OF
the people all of the time
when the people of the South
go to pay this new war tax along
with their present State local tax,
particularly the people of South
Carolina, they will realize that Abra-
ham Lincoln, whether a great
statesman or not. was indeed a
prophet.
In view of this condition of af-
fairs | called an extra session Of my
Legislature to meet October 6, at
which time | expect it to appoint a
committee to confer with the Legis'
latures of other cotton States for
the purpose of passing such laws as
will give relief. And, speaking for
my own State, think that the only
relief possible to be given is a law
prohibiting the sale of any property,
real or personal. under lien or
mortgage, within IL months, and
the extension of the time of pay,
ment of taxes for II months. y

TELLER SHORT INACCOUNTS.
Audit of Books of Sumter Bank
Reveals Shortage Of S31, 900.

Yesterday morning the report
spread over town that the expert
accountants of Alonzo Richardson 4
Co, certified accountants of Atlanta,
Ga, who are making the yearly audit
uf the books of the Bank of Sumter,
had discovered shortage in the ac-
counts of E H Rhame, Jr, teller of
the bank. 1t was soon learned that
the report had foundation in fact, as
the information came from officials
of the bank, who stated that a
shortage had been discovered as re-
ported, but that it had been made
good and the bank would not lose a
dollar.
The news of the shortage caused
great surprise and was the talk of
the town all day.
At the request Of the officers OF
the Bank of Sumter the story was
not printed yesterday, as they wish
ed to complete the investigation and
prepare an official statement for
publication. 1t was expected that
the statement would be ready for
publication yesterday afternoon. fol-
lowing a meeting of the board OF
directors held after the close of
banking hours. The official state
ment was withheld and in pursuance
with the understanding that was
had with the officers of the bank,
no mention was made yesterday OF
the shortage, the official statement
being promised for today.
The total amount of the shortage
is s31, ,759.O1, but the entire amount
has been made good and the bank
has suffered no loss. The capital of
the bank is 5000, 900, with surplus
exceeding s64,OOO.-Sumter Daily

BLEASE HITS BRIGHT
LIGHTS OF GAY GOTHAM
REPORTER GETS CHARACTERS
TIC INTERVIEW--ASSAILS
SMITH EFT AL.

The New York Herald of Satur-
days issue contains the following
interview with Governor Cole L
Blease:
Governor Cole L Blease of South
Carolina, wbo recently was defeated
as a candidate for United States
Senator. is seeing New York. He
was at the Waldorf-Astoria with
Mrs Blease yesterday and asserted
that time passes so fast in this city
that he does not know how long ne
has been away. He came North to
attend the Great iCouncil of Red
Men in Portland, Me.
Nothing to say" he said when
asked for an interview. I'm just
up here to have a good time with
the boys"
But after he had talked to Mrs
Blease he bitterly assailed Senator
Smith, his successful opponent; Pres
ident Wilson and William G Nc,
Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury.
Senator Smith, he said. was re-elect-
ed by false representations, and he
declared President Wilson and MI
McAdoo admitted that they had de-
ceived the Southern States in the
matter of financing the cotton
growers.
Governor Blease, who freed sever.
al convicts and hopes to free more
before he goes out of office at the
end of next January, and who ia,
vored the lynching of negroes fol-
attacks on white women, is slightly
built, with black hair and mustache.
DIAMONDS ADoRN THE GOVERNOR.
He wore a gray suit, a broad
brimmed black soft hat, very red
bow tie and a pink striped silk shirt.
In that shirt was diamond, screw,
ed in tightly. There were diamonds
in his cuff links and a ring flashed
on a finger of his left hand.
In the top pocket of his coat there
hung something that looked like
medal, but on close observation il
proved to be the key to his apart
ment, No 551. In the course OF
the talk | had with him he was ask
ed by Mrs Blease to hasten things
as she was hungry and wanted to &c
to a theatre.
There's the real Governor OF
South Carolina" said Mr. Blease.
She's red-headed. You know by
that she is Governor.
Mrs Blease smiled and suggested
haste to her husband. He was ask.

term as Governor expired.

tice of law" answered the Governor.
To the practice of criminal law,
which | love. But when the next
vacancy occurs in the United States
Senate 1 expect to be elected to the
place.
DICTATES A STATEMENT.
By that time Mrs Blease was the
more anxious for her dinner and the
theatre. However, Governor Blease
had changed his mind, decided to
give a statement and dictated the
following:
The man whom opposed for the
Senate is called Cotton Smith. He
claims that he raised the price in the
cotton market. On the campaign
for his reelection he told the cotton
farmers that if he were reelected
he would raise the price of cotton
to Is cents, and that he'd guarantee
that the United States Government
under the Wilson administration, by
virtue of the currency law, would
supply farmers of South Carolina
with a sufficient amount of money
to market their cotton crop or that
they could put it in a cotton ware
house and that they would be loaned
at 123 cents a pound. sufficient mon
ey to meet their running obligations.
"Of course every sensible man in
South Carolina knew that that was
lie. Since his reelection cotton
has gone lower and now he and his
Democratic colleague in the United
States Senate publicly proclaim that
the cotton farmers need no longer
look to the National administration
for help, but must depend upon
their States. / notice even so late
as today Senator Simmons of North
Carolina announced in a conference
of Congressman and Senators from
cotton growing States that the Ma
tional Government could not be
depended upon to give any relief,
and that the farmers should nc long
er be deceived, but should know that
they need not expect help from that
source, which shows that Senator
Smith was reelected by false repre-
sentations and pretenses, and Mr.
Wilson, who claimed on the stand to
be Southerner, with his son-in-law,
Mr. McAdoo, admits that they have
deceived the Southern States in this
matter, and now throws them, as
every other well-posted man in pub
lie life knew would be done, back
upon each State to take care of its
own interests and be the architect
of her own fortune.
1t will not take the people long
to learn who are their real friends.

may fool all of the people some of
