done with the vote in states where
they have had 1t long enough to deter
mine its effect. He gives a list Of
laws which are admitted by all to
have been passed by the woman vote;
in fact, he refers only to such meas
ures as were originated by women, in
troduced by women legislators, or in
dorsed and lobbied for by women's or
CARNATIONS. In general, this article
shows that the woman vote Is directly
against the saloon, against CONNER
cialized vice, and against the theory
that an open" town helps business. It
Is for compulsory education, for the
home in preference to the institution,
and for the dignity and protection of
motherhood in any and all circum-
stances. 1t Is against the exploitation
of the child, and for almost entire en-
phasis upon the corrective note in pun
ishment rather than the punitive or
deterrent.
Several very interesting facts are
brought out in a comparison of the
equal suffrage states with the nom
suffrage states. Five of them have
minimum wage laws, while Massa-
chusetts is the only n~on-suffrage state
with such a law. All Of them have
complete compulsory education laws.
and 1t is noteworthy that in the list of
the ten most illiterate states in the
Union, there is not one equal suffrage
state.
Child labor receives early attention
from woman voters, and Arizona is
the first state in the union to adopt
the model law framed by the national
child labor committee. The equal suf-
frage states are also far in advance of
the others in the matter of the age of
consent. California heads the list
with twenty-one years, six states have
eighteen, Arizona has seventeen, and
Oregon and Illinois, sixteen. Only
three Of the ~non-suffrage states go as
high as eighteen and in Georgia and
North Carolina it is ten.
Altogether the article is very n
%couraging and 1t would be well worth
while for all who are interested and
willing to be guided by facts and fig
ures rather than prejudice In forming
an opinion on this subject, to read It.

Votes for Women Column
SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

1t Is to be presumed that, inasmuch
as the question of equal suffrage is to
be decided by the voters of South Da-
kota next fall, every one will be more
ing this subject, in order to decide in
t~elligently where he stands in the
matter. And, as women are most d.
rectly concerned in the outcome, they
certainly cannot remain altogether in
different to the issue. Moreover, since
our men have repeatedly expressed
themselves as willing to give women
the ballot IL they wish to have it, it
would be no more than fair, in fact,
it becomes a duty for women to give
the subject their serious and intelli-
gent consideration in order to convey
to the voters their wishes in this mat.
ter.
AS most of us know, equal suffrage
is not a new thing in the United States
as ten states and m territory have al
ready given mt the ballot. In
Wyoming, in fact, women have been
full citizens since 1869. Since then
nine other states, Colorado. Idaho,
Washington, California, Oregon, Kan.
sas, Utah, Arizona. and Illinois. and
one territory, Alaska. have given to
their women the full rights and priv.
leges of citizenship.

and DR.. Hyde spiritedly denied that he
was a v. S. Mr.. Cheever thereupon
answered for them that the best way
to effect a cure was to teach the ami
NAL to spit. Rev. Roberts and G.. F.
Knappen failed to respond to their
names, so Philo Hall took up the bur-
den for the negative, and he was fully
equal to the responsibility. He start
ed out by remarking that this was a
good subject for argument, in fact 1t
was a strong subject, and after more
humorous remarks Mr.. Hall, in a ser.
ious vein, expressed his pleasure at
being present at such a splendid
gathering, and it was his opinion that
it meant much for the progress of
both college and city.
President Hyde called upon the au.
dience to decide the dabte and the de-
cision was almost unanimous in favor
of the negative.
Another yellow envelope was
brought in at this moment and the
president read:

WOMAN SUFFRAGE CARRIES IN z STATES OUT Of !
PROHIBITION
WAVER0LLS0N

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Two of the six
states that voted Tuesday on the ques.
tion Of ousting saloons decided to re-
tain barrooms, while the other four, on
latest returns tonight, apparently ex-
tirpated the selling of alcoholic drinks.
Ohio and California voted in favor
of retaining saloons. while the result
is in doubt in Colorado, Oregon and
Arizona. Incomplete and unofficial re-
turns for these three states show a
slight lead In favor of ousting the
saloons.
The latest returns from Washington
cover only about half of the state, and
indicate growing majority in favor Of
prohibition. One thousand and eighty
eight precincts in the state give: For
prohibition, S5,741; against, S3,21S.
Unofficial returns from Arizona
show that saloons were voted out, the
women aiding materially in reaching
this result, as well as in voting to re-
tain the death penalty, thus condemn
ing to death is murderers awaiting
the outcome Of the election.
Ohio retained saloons by good ma
jority and adopted a home rule amend
ment that was recognized as q saloon

ed the rural vote on saloons In option

C0NCRESSMEN
ARE REELECTED

HELENA, Nov 4.-With the election
of Congressman Evans and Stout con-
ceded by the republicans. and with the
admission by the democrats that Jus
tice William L. Holloway had been re-
elected, interest in last Tuesdays elec-
tion is now centering in the outcome
of the race for the office of railroad
commissioner, and in the complexion
of the state senate.
Both the republican and democratic
headquarters are claiming that they
have landed their man in the office Of
railroad commissioner.
p. Q. Selway, chairman Of the repub-
lican state central committee, stated
that his figures showed Boyle had
plurality over Mccormick of 400 votes
from incomplete returns from prac-
tically every county in the state.
Thomas Arthur, chairman of the
democratic committee, stated that ].
E. Mccormick, democrat, led Boyle
by plurality of 1887. These figures
are from incomplete returns from "a
counties in the state. According to
democratic estimates, Mccormick re-
ceived vote of 19,161 as against 49,
O74 for Boyle.
Both chairmen are confident of the
election Of their candidates, and it is
certain if Mccormick is elected, it will
be by very slight vote.
According to the latest democratic
estimates, the vote from "a counties is
as follows:
Stout, 21,60S; Evans, 22,965 Mad
dox, 16,137; Mccormick, 16,O76.
Clements, 1928; Holloway, 20,535.
Boyle, 1904; Mccormick, 19,161.
State Chairman Arthur estimates
that Stout's and Evans plurality will
be between $500 and 10000, while the
republican estimates reduce the figures
to 5000 and 5000.
Apparently woman suffrage was de-
feated and all the initiative and refer

REPRESENTATIVES Of ENGLISH
TREASURY END THEIR MISSION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Sir George
Paish and Basil B. Blackett, of the
English treasury, have practically
ended the mission which brought them
to the United States, and as a con-
sequence Of their conferences with
the federal reserve board and New
York bankers, it was indicated tonight
that no further steps need be taken
for the present to arrange for ship
ments Of American gold to Europe
The conferences here and In New
York have brought the conviction that
American debts abroad will be ad-
justed through the natural avenues Of
trade and the special machinery al
ready set up. The $1OO,0OO,OO0 gold
pool, the New York City syndicate
and the American crops are expected
to take care of the present American
Indebtedness.
Only one matter remains to be ad-
justed. There is still the fear that
If the London stock exchange opens
again for business, thousands OF
shares of American securities would
be dumped on the market at bargain
prices, bound to attract American in
vestors. Such dumping of Ameri-
can stocks would send the American
balance to the wrong side of the ledg-
er, swinging up again to the point
where England might feel that she
must ask for cash.

ARE THANKFUL
SMALL FAV0RS

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Woman suf
frage leaders rejoiced tonight when
belated returns indicated that votes
for women had been apparently grant
ed in two of the seven states voting
on the question in Tuesdays election,
with third state in doubt. First re-
turns had indicated defeat of the
granting of the franchise to women in
all seven states concerned.
Montana and Nevada, according to
the latest returns, granted votes to
women, while Nebraska showed such
a small vote against TIE proposal that
the women claimed the state Mis-
souri,, Ohio and North and South Da-
kota refused to grant equal suffrage,
the vote against granting the fran
chise to women increasing with the
size Of the population concerned.
In Montana, where workers Of the
American Woman suffrage associa-
tion made heroic efforts to win the
ballot, the vote was 50 close that the
official count will be necessary to de-
eide the outcome, but the women have
a slight lead on unofficial and incom-
plete returns.
In Nebraska, which seems won to
the cause of equal suffrage, $50 pre-
cincts out of 240 gave 3,619 votes for
woman suffrage and $500 against
The effect of women's vote on prohi-
bition in Tuesdays election indicated
that women do not unanimously op-
pose saloons.
Women failed in two Pacific states
to turn out saloons, although the ex-
act status Of the female vote on the
subject in California and Washington
has not been tabulated yet.
The California proposed amendmen,
was very drastic and would have pro-
hihited the manufacture Of wines, one
of the chief industries of the state.
The women in California probably
aided in passing law to close all re-
sorts with women inmates

although five German ships
concentrated in Chilean waters, only

MONTANA LARGELY DEMOCRATIC
NAT|0NALRESULT.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-on the basis
OF the latest returns the senate
of the Sixty-fourth congress will re-
main in democratic control by one in
creased majority Although there is
uncertainty regarding the election in
Utah and Nevada, the indications are
that the new senate will consist of 55
democrats, 40 republicans and one
progressive. Senator Reed Smoot, re.
publican, Of Utah, won over James M.
Moyle, democratic progressive, who
Tor time was leading in the contest.
Senator Newlands OF Nevada also
seemed in danger Of losing his seat
70 Samuel Platt, republican. The Utah
and Nevada senators have seen long
service in the senate and both have
been in their states for several weeks
endeavoring to overcome opposition
which had developed when the popu-
lar election of senators was provided
by constitutional amendment.
In states where the fight was hot

assured for Lawrence Y. Sherman, re-
