lightenment and torn 10 tatters by the

draped over the crosssticks in the belief
that there are still some senseless carrion
crows TO be scared by it.
Because the basis OF government is

ability TO enforce its laws; therefore II Is
inexpedient 10 give the vote TO women
There are all shades of physical force,
from the newborn infant TO the champion

some women are physically stronger than
some men. Where is the line to be drawn
IL physical strength is qualification for
voting?
The wife. mother and daughter or a
man who has given his life for his coun-
try has no voice in the government, yet
the man over forty-fve, the clergyman
minister or priest the man undersize or
overfat. and the man with finger or
toe missing. or like disability. is not sub
ject TO military duty, but has unlimited
franchise. Eleven other reasons based
on the most prejudiced imaginations'
none OF which have any foundation Of

Judge F. s. Dietrich, of the United
States district court, has issued an or
der enjoining State Pure Food Com
missioner James H. Wallis from en-
forcing an order recently issued by him
prohibiting the sale of Crescent bak-

TOday's Birthday HOnOrs.

Philip d. Armour was born May 16
1882, at Stockbridge N. Y. Through
out his earlier life he was noted for
the qualities which have remained with
him, integrity, strong common sense,
courage and bodily strength. At the
time of the gold discovery in Califor-
MIA, he with party of farmers sons,
started for the west, and most of the
journey was performed on foot. In
1856 he returned home, but farm had
no attractions for him, and he started
westward again, locating in Milwau-
kee, becoming partner in the wholesale
grocery and commission business with
a friend. He later became interested
in wheat and in pork packing, and the
firm today is one of the largest in the
world.

| Professor Plummer's life began
With every promise of success;

People admired him more or less.
From idle sentiment exempt,
He could observe with clearer eyes,
And look with laudable contempt
At everything which was not wise.
He say that friendships came and went.
I'VE meet" he said, shake hands,
and scatter"
He saw that time was better spent
Upon some more important matter.
He reasoned in his lucid way
That love was quite unnecessary;

"a wife would be distracting, very"
Strange, after years in studying
Important matters occupied,
One wholly unimportant thing
