FOR WOMAN

Among the exhibits in the horticul-
tural building at the state fair in Hell
n was a fine display of apples from
Montana upon which was placed a
sign reading: "These apples were
raised by a man who believes his
mother should be allowed to vote"
Similar emblems decorated other ex.
hibits of orchard, garden and farm
products, the signs having been plac-
ed there by women suffrage advo-
Gates who sought to attract the atten.
ton of visitors and convince them of
the merits of their cause.
This novel method of conducting a
campaign was treated in a jocular
n by some of the spectators,
and failed to receive their serious at
tention, but among others it suggested
a line of thought which led to the con-
clusion that the mother of a Montana
citizen who is performing his part in
the development of the state is entitl-
ed to the same rights and privileges
as her son. The difference in sex
should not deprive her of participa-
ton in public affairs that affect the
welfare of herself and her fellow citi-
Zens.
The man who believes that "all gov
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed"
must admit that the women of Mon.
tana and other states should have
equal voice with male citizens in the
determination of matters that are sub
mitted to popular vote. No reasonable
argument to the contrary has been
indefensible prejudice caused by the
unjust custom that has been in effect
for many years.
This newspaper is not informed up
on the relative educational qualifica-
tons of the sexes, but it believes the
lean male citizens is greater than
among American citizens of the op-
posite sex. In the matter of intellec-
tual capacity, and ability to exercise
the rights of suffrage in a prudent
name that will result in benefit to
the general community, Montana
women are certainly as we'll qualified
as the average voter.
According to the leaders of the
equal suffrage movement, women
have been voting on all questions in
Wyoming since 1869; Colorado since
1893; Utah and Idaho since 1896;
Washington since 1910; California
since 1911; Oregon, Arizona and Kan
sas since 1912: Alaska since 1913:
and in Illinois, for presidential cleo
tors and on municipal questions since
1913. In each of these states the in.
fluence of the women voters has been
exerted on behalf of good government.
The result may not have been so great
as expected by optimistic suffragists,
but on the other hand the dire effects
pxedicted by their opponents have not
materialized.
proposed! suffrage amendment to
the state constitution will be submitted
to Montana voters at the November
election, and if their sense of justice
prevails in marking their ballots the
amendment will carry by an almost
unanimous vote.

ENCOURAGE RURAL SCHOOLS
II E2''-~

tEEaE1G~ - ~iH.4AE''
The good work of improving Dun
try schools will be encouraged by the
observance of Rural Life Day." Oc-
tober 9, which has been designated
in a proclamation issued by Cover
mol Stewart as a day upon which this
important subject should receive the
favorable attention of Montana citi-
zens. After brief reference to the ag-
ricultural development that is making
Montana one of the best farming
states in the country, the proclamation
says:
To maintain this supremacy of
country life. "Montana's best CROP
our boys and girls, must not be neg
lected. Life on the Montana farm
must be kept as attractive as it now
is, with first.class schools and diver
sions of social character within the
reach of all. Neither grudge nor diff.
%ferences, political, personal or re-
ligious, should be allowed to enter the
door of the "little red schoolhouse,'
or to shape the payments made from
the sacred fund provided to prepare
these future citizens for life in Mon
tana.
There is a nationwide movement
looking toward a larger unit for ad'
ministering the rural schools, and
after comforting with the leaders OF
educational thought in this state,
have become convinced that some
such change here will result in a great
educational uplift. Such a change
would enable us to handle our school
affairs in a more b~usiness-like man
ner and to provide funds sufficient
for practical high school work, so that
farmers would not be compelled to
send their children away from home

UrQe Loan For Reclamation.

Helena, Oct. 1.-The creation of a

ton of irrigation districts for the
building Of projects in the future:
and a change in the law requiring
continuous cultivation on irrigation
projects instead of a residence re-

Ira p. Englehart of Washington was
elected president, F. D. Beers of Utah,

If the opinion of Director Newell Of
the reclamation service is of value,
then the government reclamation pro-
jects in the West will be fortunate if
they retain what money has been al
loted to them, rather than expect to
get additional appropriations. This
opinion was expressed today at the
