DR.. Anna Howard Shaw's Address

The address of DR.. Anna Howard Shaw at the Majestic theater
last night on her favorite topic of equal suffrage was a mastertul piece
of campaign oratory. There are few, even among the more seasoned
political campaigners of the male persuasion who excel her in the arttul
and finished touches of campaign oratory,' says the Reno Gazette.
DR.. Shaw delivered the same address at the Hippodrome theater
in Goldfeld last night. She had a large audience of both women and
men and it is only fair to say that her address was thoroughly enjoyed,
largely because of its oratorical effectiveness and the keen sense OF
humor displayed. In further comment on Miss Shaw Reno address
the Gazette said
Her audience was a tribute to her reputation as a public speaker
and to her success in stimulating an interest in the subject to which she
has devoted the last twenty years of her life. Her wit, her humor. her
satire were at all times entertaining and seldom framed to wound. Miss
Shaw is a woman of unusual capabilities. Energetic, ambitious, force
full and resourceful, she has made a name for herself and friends for
her cause.
IF all women were of the type and temperament OF Miss Shaw,
they would have had the ballot long ago. They would have had it when
this republic was formed they would have had it because they would
have wanted it. But all women, in fact few women, are fitted to the
life that Miss Shaw would lead. the life in which her greatest useful
ness and effectiveness probably lay and from which she has not been
barred by lack of the ballot. But if all women or most women were OF
the type and temperament of Miss Shaw would we have any republic
at all?
"There has been no time since the republic was born when women

Nevada For Neuadans

Reno Gazette: The meeting at the Majestic theater last night was
significant and suggestive of porentous results to Nevada. The spirit
of the meeting suggested what is likely TO develop promptly into a cam
pagn slogan that will be impressed so forciby and indelbly upon the
mind of the average voter that it will stand out before his eyes when
he enters the election booth in letters of gold. if not of fire. The slogan
will be Nevada for NevadanS.'
Already there has been developed, without apparent concerted &C
ton or endeavor, a quiet but deep protest against carpet bag rule III
Nevada, a sentiment in favor of the redemption of this state from con-
troll and domination by Colorado and California. Nevada has a popua-
ton less than half that of the average congressional district in the Uni
ted States There has developed slowly but surely a firm belief that the
Legislative power delegated to this state under the federal constitution
has been from time to time, and almost continuously for many years,
usurped by influences from other states against which that part of the
population alive to the condition could not successfully contend. Only
an aroused and organized public sentiment could meet and successfully
cope with these efforts and this intrusion from the outside.
This condition has been o notorious that the press of the nation
and the people of other states have stood aghast and have wondered
how it could be accomplished or why it was tolerated. The term Rot
ten Borough finally gave way to Pocket Borough and when either
term is mentioned today in any of the other forty-seven states, Nevada
is suggested as distinctly as if the state were named. Nevada has come
to be known as the Pocket Borough of California, the chief reason
for whose continued existence is that it is entitled to two seats out OF
ninety-six in the greatest Legislative body in the world.
it has not ended there. We find that the eye of the Colorado poll
tician came to view this field as one of rare opportunity for political adj
vancement and when the official roster of this state is published in con-
nection with the former residence and former political activities OF
present office holders and present asprants, it will show that Colorado
has been even keener IN her perception OF the political Possloitles OF
the state than California.

McGUCKEN AND OTHERS
ARRESTED IN TONOPAH

H. E. McGucken, AL Williams and
Oscar Ruff, a cook, were arrested last
night on Main street for disturbing
the peace by singing 1. w. w. songs,
says the Bonanza. McGucken was
first to be taken off the stand, but
his place was taken at once by Will
liams, who began another ballad.
When the latter was arrested the Of
ficers were told there was no short
age of talent, and that plenty of
speakers and singers were held in
reserve. Responding to this, Chief
of Police Evans reported that he
had a pretty big building at his dis
posal and N which he thought
would accommodate the entire mem
bership of the L. w. w. if necessary.
Ruff was the only man to defy the
officers by attempting a speech. and

their residence in the state, it would have little significance. But wher
the political history of Colorado is taken in connection with the more
recent political history of Nevada a condition is revealed that is
worthy of study and suggestive of something more than mere chance.
The man from Colorado or California whose interests re here
whose residence is here, who is of the state and a part of its material
development is as welcome as the man from New York or Texas. We
have splendid citizens from Colorado and from California, but the carpet
Dagger, the man whose interest in the state is that of holding office, has
been too large a factor and his elimination is near at hand.
The formal opening of the republican campaign in Reno last night
must have been gratifying, not merely to those who are seeking the sue
cess of that party, but equally gratifying to every man who entertains
the hope that Nevada may be redeemed aud reclaimed to her own peo
pie. Let us hope that the day of carper bag rule in Nevada will on
November grid meet the reputation so devouty to be wished and SC
tardy in its coming.

American Horses in Demand

During the next decade there will probably be al increased de-
mand for American horses in the countries now engaged in the Euro
pan war. The demand may even continue much longer, according TO
investigators of the United States department of agriculture, IS not
only will horses be needed for the armies but when peace is restored
more will be needed for agricultural purposes. Already European
agents arr said to be endeavorng to purchase horses in this county m
Canada, and there is an increased interest in many sections i'll horse
breeding.
To meet this increased European demand American farmers may
well endeavor to raise we1-bred horses, although the department o
agriculture does not advise them to purchase a surplus of horses merely
for breeding pursoses. It merely advises that ordinary farm work
should be done whenever possible by good mares which should be bed
to good stations. 1t also desires to emphasize the fact that only
horses of high quality may be proftably raised today. Inferior horses
are a drug on the market. and their production is to be discouraged as
much as the production of good horses should be encouraged.
The United States has previously been drawn on to supply Euro
pean countries at war. In the Boer war over 100000 horses were
bought here by the British government. 1t may be doubted whether a
foreign government could now obtain a similar supply in this country
except at excessive cost.

Since statehood the women of North Dakota have had the educa-
tional franchise, which enables them to vote for state and county super
intendent of schools. The vast majority of female citizens have faith IN
the integrity of their husbands, fathers. brothers and sons, however,
and do not Use nor want even this franchise. On June oath last, at the
primaries, the men and women of the state voted for these two offices
AS an example of the interest taken by women, thirtyone of them
voted in Cass county where 1888 men went to the polls. In Fargo, the
largest city in the state, only twenty women voted. County Auditor
Addison Ieech is authority for these figures. They clearly show one OF
two things: Either the number of sufragSts in Fargo is very small
or else they carry their political burden very lightly and carelessy. II
no N of the candidates for office was worth supporting, why did they
not nominate a ma who was worthy of being entrusted witt the educa-
ton of the children of the state?

WHY PROSPERITY IS
A HABIT IN GOOD IOWA

A man In Buffalo wrote to the
Greater Iowa Committee the other
day and said that he had read that
"In Iowa prosperity is a habit" He
wanted to know why. He said that
prosperity did not bother one in Buf
falo although he had read several
books on the subject, How to Get
Rich" why" said the puzzled Buff
falo citizen, do you allege so much
prosperity for Iowa? Is il a fact or
am | merely buffaloed?"
1t is fact.
Iowa produces about 1870 Of the
corn crop Of the United States each
year.
When It comes to oats, Iowa S
farmers raise 1869 of the total crop
of the nation.
Iowa has 29,997, $50 acres Of improv-
ed land within her borders-which
leaves a smaller percentage Of waste
land than can be found In any other
equal area on earth.
The average OF improved land in
Iowa is greater than that OF Illinois,
about 200 above Missouri. nearly
500 above Texas, ten times as much
as Colorado, nearly twice that Of In
diana, 500 more than Minnesota,
three times that of Alabama and
ninety times that Of New Mexico.
Vast Resources.
Iowa farmers own 1870 of all the
cattle in the United States.
6.1% of all the horses Of the ma
ton are owned in Iowa.
Even though Iowa is a prairie state,
1870 Of the timber products Of the
entire country come from within her
borders. Arkansas, which 10 regarded
a. something Of timber state, pro-
duces only 90.
Even more surprising is the fact
that Iowa produces 1920 of the btu
minous coal mined in the United
States.
$50 Of all the barley grown in the
United States comes from the farms
of Iowa.
1850 Of all the swine in the entire
country are raised in Iowa.
The Iowa hen produces as much
wealth each year as the silver mines
Of Colorado. And the hen isn't max
ing much Of a fuss about It either.
Land that sold for $25 an acre in
1890 will bring more than 500 an
acre now.

IT PAYS TO BUY IOWA LANDS

illinois, Indiana and Ohio farmers
are coming to Iowa to buy land, and
they are paying from $50 to $500 an
acre for it, and these men know what
they are doing. They are buying Iowa
farms to live on-not for speculative
purposes, although it is confidently
predicted by the best informed real
estate men and the most observing
farmers that Iowa land At $500 an
acre will not be uncommon five years
hence.
It is everywhere conceded that this
state is in the very heart OF the great
est wealth producing region in the
world, and can be definitely proved
by reliable statistics that the produc.
er will soon be monarch Of all he sur
veys, for Uncle Sam informs us that
while our population is increasing at
the rate Of a little more than rs per
cent every ten years, our ability to
feed and clothe our people is progress
ing at the rate of only 10 per cent in
the same time.
Prices Increasing.
This means constantly increasing
prices for the producer-this means
that the farmer who puts intelligence
into his toll will be the most prosper
Gus man In our industrial orqaniza-
ton.
It IN sometimes said that the wealth
of the Iowa farmer is due entirely to
the increase in the value of the land
which has been brought about by ma
tural causes and cannot be credited to
the sagacity or the hard work Of the
farmer; but when we remember that
land represents only the farmers in.
vestment and not his income. and that
he cannot keep his land and buy auto
mobiles, Victrolas and player-pianos
with it, we see the fallacy Of the ar
gument that the wealth of the farmer
10 all in his land.
Farmers Make Money.
With fat hogs selling from $40 to $50
each, cows bringing $50 to $50 each
and very ordinary horses pulling down
5000 and more a head, there 10 every
reason why the farmer should make
money. Every year the staple yield
per acre Of almost every staple COM
modify is increasing because Of better
farming methods.
One Fine Record.
Near Merrimac there is farmer
who single handed, raised or is cred
tied with having raised 2,735 bushels
of wheat and SAT bushels of oats, be-
sides corn, hay, hogs, horses, cows,
chickens, etc.
It is easy to see that the man who
deals only in the things that people
absolutely must have to sustain life
can always invest considerable money
in his plant and realize fair return
upon 1t.
