The trouble at Copperfield arose
from the fact the saloonmen there
seem to have thought
At Copperfield. they were immune
from all the laws of
decency. Through some legerdemain
they captured the city government
bodily. The mayor was saloonkeep-
er and likewise four of the council
men. They had control and they APP
pear to have used it not for the pro-
lection of peace but for the protec-
ton of vice.
This situation became intolerable
to others who have to live at Copper
field. They were not merely forced
to endure an open" town but COM
planned their lives and property were
in danger That there was some
ground for their complaint is indi-
Gated by the fact some of the COM
plainants had suffered from incendi-
airy fires.
AT first efforts were made to cor
rect the situation through the ordi-
nary legal channels but the effort
proved ineffective. Even when called
upon by the governor to take action
against the saloonkeeper officials the
district attorney declined to do 20. 1t
was then the governor decided to
handle the matter himself. Through
Miss Hobbs. his private secretary. he
asked the officials TO resign. Upon
their refusal to do so the town was
placed under martial law. the saloon
men were placed under arrest and
their saloons under lock and key
That was the situation as it stood this
morning.
Presumably the governor in taking
this action is entirely within the law
It is the same line of action he pur'
sued against the disorderly road
houses in Multnomah county and hs
brought those establishments into line
II Governor West can succeed II
cleaning up Copperfield the effect viii
be wholesome for it will show thai
when local or county officials ac'
quiesce too openly at lawlessness anc
vice the governor, who is sworn tc
see that the laws are faithfully en-
forced. may take charge himself and
has an arm that reaches far and witf
which he may strike quickly and ef
fectively.

Every now and then today you will catch
yourself writing 1913 in the same old way
DO YOU know why9
THE NEW YEAR IS NOT YET SUF.
FICIENTLY ADVERTISED.
In day so-after you have seen the
date in your favorte newspaper, on calendars,
on letters, evervwhere-the fact will be ham,

Advertising will do it.
Did YOU ever stop to think that everything
in this life that suggests desire or the ability
to satisfy desire is advertising the in
fant's first cry is advertising, and very likely
to command immediate response
Newspapers did not create advertising.
They merely opened the easiest channel for this
essential part Of life to express itself
Newspaper advertising is efficient for bus

efficient Each is the most direct and the

THE QUESTION OF FITNESS.

So often we sufffagists receive in
reply to our question, Are YOU in
terested in the wcman suffrage move
ment?" the answer. NO. but 7
think it is coming" Why is II that
| people who have never given suf-
frage even a thought, at once have
| that instructive feeling that it is
coming? 1t is because suffrage is
! such a logical next step in the
! democratic working ont of national
and community development. that
nearly everybody, adherents and ants
alike, feel intuitivelv that the culmi-
nation of the movements is merely
q question of time.
The claim that suffrage is an in
tegral part of democracy is based on
the %irrefutable argument of Jefferson
and Jackson-that the whole COM
munity should participate in the
governing, because the whole COM
munity is governed. Never was the
reason advanced that all men we're
thought wise enough or capable
enough to rule the state, for if an
understanding of actual political con-
not more than ] per cent of the men
could be permitted to vote. Fitness
is not now and never has been the
test for suffrage. American demo-
i cracy is not based upon the as
| sumption hat individuals are wise or
| virtuous, but upon the idea that
two heads are better than one
that the whole is greater than any
Of it's parts that the whole COM
munity is wiser than a part of the
| community.
Inasmuch as women are fully one
half of the population, and if all the
| men are wiser than half the men;
men and women together must be
wiser than the men alone. The

throwing off of qualifications for yot-
ing wherever they existed. The past
has shown that wherever qualifica-
tions for suffrage have existed, OF
any kind whatever, it has inevitably
| resulted in the elimination Of the
very %life-blood of the community,
! which is dissimilaTity Of views. The
present can profit by the experience
of the past. 1t is because women are
! une-half of the community and are
different from men that we a look
to them to bring TO our modern gov
! crnments the dissimilarity of ideas
which furnishes the spur for the de-

their component parts, men and

The ballot in the hands of women
means home government as opposed
to irresponsible balloting. BY which
L mean that in a new state like
this women have helped to build up

and establish its homes. and when
prosperity comes it brings with it
a great influx of outside influences,
but the woman ballot keeps the bal
ance of power in the hands of those
who helped to build the state
DR.. Shaw delivered a magnificent
address which space forbids report
ing III full. Her anecdotes are irre-
sistible. She tells the story OF the
little Irish whose husband
supported her by allowing her to
take in six washings a week. After
she had done a big washing one
day, there came a heavy snow
storm and she went out and cleaned
Off the sidewalk. While she did
this a big, burly policeman paced
back and forth on his beat no offer
ed to take a hand. Later III the
afternoon the same little wash
woman went to the polls to cast her
ballot. The ballot box was rather
high and the same policeman hap
pened to be near and stepped up to
say, Madam, a | assist your The
little Irish oma turned around in
dignantly. "Shure, and phwat do you
Think" said she. I've done a big
washing today and cleaned off the
sidewalk and you stood around and
never Offered to lift a hand, and
now don't you think I've got the
strength in my fingers to drop this
little bit of paper in the box
Yes continued the speaker, 1--WE
women have to do everything to
contribute to the government just
the same as men, and the ballot is
the only thing in the world that can
help to tighten the burden of gov
eminent"
DIR. Shaw said in conversation with
the reporter that once she was in
troduced by a very earnest man
who spoke Of her as having the
brains OF a man. Dr.. Anna respond
ed to this unique Introduction by
saying: Il do not know whether
the gentleman who just introduced
me meant to pay me a very great
compliment or to insult my sex,
If | have the brains of a man !
should like to see that man.
Judge Cheadle of LeWistoWn, who
presided at the meeting and intro
duced DR.. Shaw to her statewide
audience in Helena, made no such
tactless remark. The we'll known
Judge from Lewistown was " i'll

great occasion.

DIR. ANNA SHAW
GAVE TALK
ON SUFFRAGE

And what are you going to talk
about tonight?" asked The Suffrage
Daily News reporter Of DR.. Anna
Shaw.
The very thing | would like to
know myself replied this little
woman OF whom so much has been
said and written for the past forty
years. You See" continued the doc
tor, Il really never know. Once
upon a time back in Kansas the
manager came to me just before time
to begin the lecture and told me
that | was requested to speak on
the subject of The Missing Link
Why. | couldn't possibly do such a
thing l replied. i don't know any
thing at all about the subject
Well said the manager, the adj
vertising has been done and the
tickets sold on the presumption that
you would speak on that subject and
you really must So Ana Shaw said
that she would try and think, while
the audience was gathering, as to
how to bring in 1.-The missing link"
"%Suddenly,' said the doctor. 81
thought how woman was the miss
a good suffrage talk and did not
forget to refer to my assigned sub
ject with becoming frequency
And DR.. Anan Shaw can certainly
approach the subject of suffrage
from every conceivable angle and
drive home her points by the most
unique witticisms and anecdotes. She
lust spoke in Billings before the
Chamber of Commerce on woman
in City Building" and there is no
doubt but that she handed these
grave and dignified city fathers a
few original packages along that
line.
In her speech in this city last
evening DR.. Shaw stood before her
great audience anu, III DIlcl, odio.
81 shall try to show that our cause
is a fundamental principle OF de-
mocracy, that the right Of a citizen
TO take part in his government Is
not to be denied, and the denial OF
this right is a violation of the right
of the individual and a violation OF
the constitution of the United States,
which guarantees to every state a
republican form of government. And
SO long as any part OF it's citizenship
is denied the right to take part i'll
the government it cannot be called
a republican form of government.
We believe that governments ave
the right to protect themselves
against half the people, and II is
zens, but these qualifications must
apply to all citizens equally, as, for
instance, the restrictions OF age,
residence, etc. But when they say
a citizen must be male or female
it is not a qualification-it is an
insuperable barrier, because it is
against helf the people, and ii is
against this insuperable barrier that
we protest.
II believe that the whole charac-
ter of government has changed dur
ing the last 80 years and h a gov
ernments now have TO do almost
wholly with domestic problems and
concerns ever more specltlcallN
than men. The working woman anI
the home-maker and the child-bearel
are interfered with by government

THE WOMEN'S PROFESSIONAL

God of our Fathers, as of old,
Lord of the smoking, thin. red line!
How oft have flaming root trees told
OF yet another victor's shrine;
Odin, or Mars-grim God Of War,
All, let us bow to him no more!
For mercy there is none with him;
He piles the earth with victims
slain,
That Caesars glory may not dim,
Nor Dives lose his wretched gain.
Our Fathers God, still thine the part
To break again the broken heart.
Nay, let US seek our Mothers God
Who hears the ravens when they
cry,
And sends the rain to parching sod
Nor lets the widows cruise run dry
Our Mothers God-thy cross CLEANS
Where lie the wounded and the dead!
Father of Mercy, all our sons
In travail and in pain we bear;
Now they march up before the guns

For Hate goes forth, and round the

LoGGERs GO ON STRIKE.
Quit Work at Horseshoe Bend When
Cut in Wages is Made.

"Hung up" that is the condition of
the Payette- Michigan Lumber COM
pany's log drive. The men went on
strike Tuesday when they were in
formed of cut in wages of so cents
a day. The drive had reached within
two miles of Horseshoe Bend when
the men quit.
Tuesday was pay day on the drive
and the foreman, Henry Love, issued
the party of 10 men their time checks
on that date and also impaired the
intelligence that the management had
ordered the daily wage reduced from
S4 to $3.50. AS a result, strike took
place Immediately and a demand was
made by the, men that they be paid in
cash.
Mr. Love then called up j. H. Cros-
by, the representative of the com
pany at Boise and he came to EN-
NETT Tuesday evening and issued
checks to cover the amount due, but
when Love returned to camp and ten
dered the checks they were also re-
fused and real money demanded
1t is stated that an effort will be
made to get new crew together and
move the logs. A few logs have al
ready passed the Emmett bridge. AS
it is probable that the present high
water will not last long, few days
loss in time may result in heavy finan-
cial loss to the company. The de-
mand of the men is not considered at
all unreasonable or exorbitant, as the
work of log driver is exhausting,
owing to their being compelled to be
in the cold water, as well as hazar-
dous.

Gideons in Trouble

Rev. Dearing, leader Of the Gideon
Band, and Richard and John Cornett,
followers, were arrested Tuesday
night, charged with disturbing the
peace. The Gideons had been hold
ing revival meetings in Socialist hall,
but recently these were discontinued
and meetings held in private houses,
one of them being in the Cornett
home. The meetings were so demon
strative and continued until the morn
ing hours, that neighbor were unable
to sleep. Complaint was made Mon
day, and Judge Stokesbery called in
the offenders and warned them that
unless the meeting were quiet and
closed not later than 10:30 at night,
they would be arrested. The follow
ing night the offense was again con-
tinued and officer Earkin took them
to Jail. Their trial came up this
morning and the two Cornetts were
fine $40 each. The preacher was dis
charged.

IRRIGATION bitches
ELIMINATED
DIR. Gaebler Instails Water Pipes
On His 160-acre Orchard
Tract

Fire years ago when DR.. R. N. Gae-
bier of st Louis paid $4,000 spot cash
for 100 acres of land on the Emmett
mesa north of the o. c. McProud
home, and announced that he expected
to make a model orchard of the entire
tract, many people remarked that is
was just simply another case of spec
ulator's hot air. But, during the past
two years the gentleman has more
than kept his word.
One year ago this spring the entire
tract was leveled and placed in per-
feet condition for orcharding; and 100
acres were planted to standard apples
of the Rome Beauty, Winesap,
Gano, Spitzenburg, Delicious and King
Davis varieties; the remainder of the
tract was set to Italian prunes. The
trees were well cared for and made
a good growth the first year under
the supervision of ]. R. Hunter, man
ager of the Frozen Dog ranch.
During the past winter, at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Hunter, it was de-
cided to install the pipe system of
irrigation, the same as is used on
the Frozen Dog and Field ranches.
A mile and half of wood pipe has
been buried two feet under the ground
to convey the water from the main
ditch to the tree rows and 80 hy-
drants are used to tap same. A ten
inch pipe is used at the intake and is
reduced to eight, six and four inch,
and two inch is used at the ends and
stubs. The approximate cost of the
material and installation was about
$4,000, and Mr.. Hunter estimates that
in five years it will more than pay for
itself in labor saved in ditch cleaning,
cutting weeds, replacing the many
check and division boxes and other
things required of an open ditch
system, to say nothing Of the con-
venience, accuracy and time saved by
the present system of irrigation.
Last fall DR.. Gaebler also purchased
the 20-acre home place of Mr.. Chad
mick, just across the road south of the
large orchard, and it is also watered
by the same system, and the residence
is occupied by Elias Aston, the fore
man, who is always on the job and
keeps both places in condition that
would do credit to any community.
The Gaebler orchard is in very
slightly location and the general lay
of the land is ideal and will in more
ways than one make a model orchard.
The Index wishes him all kinds of
success in his venture and we are GER
tain that in time he will receive large
returns on his investment, as no where
on the face of the earth can be found
more ideal condition for growing
Italian prunes and apples than in the
Emmett valley

early stage of the season, resulting in
many dollars less returns than would
have been the case had the fruit been
handled under one management.
But the grower is not to be blamed
to any great extent, as in the past
they have never had proper returns
for the peach crop, as a whole, large
ly from the fact that the peach bust
ness, both in distribution and selling,
was new and not understood, and the
small, but vital, details were not
worked out far enough in advance
and the marketing end was secon-
dairy consideration until the crop was
almost ready to ship. That large
per cent of the growers were "stung"
last year there is no question, but
yet all must agree that unity of in
terests, properly managed, will ac-
complish far greater results than can
