BIG MAJORITY
Not One Member of Legislature
Speaks Against Suffrage Con-

Woman's Journal.
The Louisiana House of Represen-
tatives has voted 81 to 40 in favor Of
a constitutional amendment granting
full suffrage to women The vote
fell short of the needed two thirds,
but so large a majority in a far
Southern Legislature is a striking
proof of the growth Of suffrage sen
timent in that section.
Women packed every inch OF avail
able space in the House and CALLER

ture spoke for the measure, and not
one against it. The New Orleans

ity, but still enough to prevent the
necessary two thirds vote, sat silent

A HIGHER STANDARD
OF CITIZENSHIP

Each individual owes to the COM
munity, and to the country at large,
keen attention to preserving the good
inherited from the founders Of the
Republic; for ourselves and for our
pOsterity.
The need of the present hour is
mental poise and moral balance.
There is no way in which SO great
good can be accomplished in main
tanning standards of character and
citizenship, as through the church or
ganizations-t through their member
ship.
It requires workers, efficient lead
ers, and watchfuI care to produce a
high moral OF community life.
The churches are preparing young
people to take the place of the lead
ers of the present, and constantly
more leaders are needed.
Every element must De represent
ed in our churches, every individual
has part to perform.
We must maintain and preserve all
we have of moral advantage we
must increase, and strengthen commu-
nifty standards, we must work for
better living, teaching it by example
and precept.
The real aim is to have the best
community in which to own a home,
conduct a business or bring up a fam
lily.
If there was nothing more than
temporal comfort and satisfaction in
Christi that would be a tremen-
dous impulse toward embracing it.
But. if we are not enjoying the
best of conditions in this world how
could we hope to appreciate them
eIsewherei
The free institutions of this coun-
try should teach all to enjoy bet
ter things, because We hope, some
day. to have celestial conditions.
Every church is working toward the
goal of uplift here, in the hope OF
something better when this life is
over.
Every church needs, and wants more
workers to help in the great desire
to benefit those about us.
The Christian standard is the
best standard; the churches are ask
ing and urging all to enlist under the
Great Banner of Brotherhood
The founders of this country endur
ed hardships, fought battles, depriv-
ed themselves of comforts, to give
us our advanced position.
The much -prized document, the
Declaration of independence. insured
us more than could be had in any
other country
Each step of development has
brought US to higher state Of civf
Iization. but we have not always
reached the highest degree Of mora
and Christian standing.
| The work We have to do centers
around the churches and our patriot
ic duty requires each to help IL
what Dur churches are trying for-a
higher standard of Christian C itizen
ship.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir Your letter of July 9th,
Is OF much interest to me. as I have
felt that sooner or later 4 main
highway through the central part of
the State of Wisconsin from MiIwau-
lee to the lakes in the northern part
is a road that would sooner OF later
be built
Wood county, at the present time,
is doing considerable road work. |
have this summer over $72. 600 to
spend for roads and bridges. mostly
for roads A trunk line road has
been adopted by the County Board
from Grand Rapids to Marshfield and
the money has been raised to COM
pletely grade up and put in all perm
anent eulyerts, drainage, etc, and
this same trunk line will be complet-
I'd year from this coming fall, land
a very. serviceable earth road be-
tween Grand Rapids and Marshfield
Some parts of this trunk line have
also been macadamized and consid
cradle more viii be macadamized thi
coming year.
In regard to suggestions for !
main road from Milwaukee. it would
seem to me that for pleasure drives
and possible business. the route from
Milwaukee to Madison, from Madison
to Portage, from Portage along the
Wisconsin river TO Grand Rapids. A
Grand Rapids, I would suggest thai
the most direct route to Ashland
would be over the trunk line Il
Marshfield, thence in a northwester
ly direction along the boundary line
between Clark and Marathon through
Taylor and Price counties into Ash
land county and north The river
drive would perhaps work out as tht
most pleasant route from Grand Rap
ids TO Stevens Point: thence nortl
along the Wisconsin river via Wau
sau and Merrill; thence north intC
the lake resions of Villas county.
In regard 10 what the county woul
do to promote main route l wisl
to say that l sincerely believe as
tax-tayer and as an old resident O
Wood county that the far-seeing citi
zen of Wood county will put thei
shoulder to the wheel and do thei
share when it beconlse up to US t

Progressive or Divided.

NdIllOlllld .............. 10
On the face of these figures Presi-
dent Wilson would have had 221 cleo
torial votes, or at the outside 234 if
he had had California, which so divid-
ed its vote that it is useless to at
tempt to say how it would have gone
in presidential contest The Re-
publican candidate would have had
Z93 votes, a majority of 50, giving
California to the Democrats.
In comparing these figures with
the electoral vote of 1912, the enor-
nous gain of the Republican party in
the past two ears of Democratic ad-
ministration is interesting and start
ling. Two years ago, the Republican
candidate carried only two states,
Utah and Vermont, with a total cleo
toral vote Of eight, while Roosevelt
carried six states with SO electoral
votes, and Wilson carried the other
40 states with 435 electoral votes.

Therefore, from the Democratic

President Wilson was the dominant,
