Big Procession in Huron
Saffragists Make Great Display
in Honor of Miss LaFollette

- Huron. July ia long pro.
cession, led by sixteen horsemen
and made up of tiftythree auto
mobiles honored Miss Fola La
Follett on the occasion of her Wis.
it to Huron, speaking here on the
subject of suffrage. Four cars
in the parade were from Miller
and number of others from out
side points. The business sec
tion of town, the horses and auto
mobiles were decorated in the
national colors and the suffrage
yellow.
The horsemen led, followed by
the mayors car, and by the
guests machine. Miss La Fol
lette was accompanied by Mrs.
John L. Pyle, president of the
State Universal Franchise
League; Mrs. Alva e. Taylor
and Mrs. r. 0. Richards. Miss
La Follett's address was given
under the auspices of the Huron
chautauqua, and Miss Elizabeth
Christ of Miller was secured
for several vocal selections, as a
special number. The biggest
crowd of the chautauqua was out
for this occasion.

Invent Shock Loader

Cottingham Bros. and Aaron
Arrowsmith have made several
changes and improvements on
their grain shock loading ma.
chine, and are now of the opin-
ion that it will work about right.
A test in some grain field will
soon be made, when some minor
changes may still be found nec-
essary. The machine works
something after the order of a
hay loader. The shocks will be
picked up and elevated to a high
carrier which will dump them
into hay rack that is driven
along by the side of the loader.
The advantage of this contrivance
for handling grain is q ute appar-
ent. 1t is estimated that when
it works to perfection, that it
will save at leasthalf of the teams
and men now needed in get.
ting grain from the shocks to the
thresing machine, and this
means a great deal. The machine
itself can be operated by one
man and two horses. A b
horse power gasoline engine
easily furnishes the power for
the loader. The invention is
covered by several patents, and
friends of the owners thereof
hope to see them make some
money out of their invention.

grazing purposes than to the
raising of small grain. But
whether in the hills or on the
flats, the raising of cattle is wo-
fully neglected, the cattle in
dustry being the back bone of
the best farming the world over
1t is a noticeable fact also in Ro
berts county that wherever you
do see a / u lch of cattle, you
never fail to see good crops, good
buildings and other signs of pros
perity. There is enough grass
going to waste in the hills this
year to fatten thousands of head
of beef cattle or to produce hum
dreds of thousands of pounds of
golden butter.
Roberts county is one of the
best pieces of farming country
out of doors. This fact should
be advertised far and near, and
kept up until homeseekers in
other states have learned that the
whole state is not alike, but that
the chance for making money in
farming in Roberts county can
not be surpassed anywhere in
this broad country Of ours.
Boost and boom and help bring
in settlers until the hill tops re-
sound with the bleating of sheep
and the believing of cattle.

CLUBWoMEN FOR SUFFRAGE
A triumph for woman suffrage
greater than the conquest of any
single state was won when the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs indorsed the. principle of
political equality at the recent
biennial convention at Chicago,
says number of interested
editors, who thus find the indorse-
ment of woman suffrage by wo-

jority of men are disposed to
concede the vote to women when
it shall fairly appear that the wo.
men really want it Now it can
be no longer said that the most
representative and embracing
organization of women in the
country is opposed or Indifferent.
The strongest protest of an
antisutfrage minority at the con-
tion must not be forgotten. The
preside of the National Associa-
tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge. herself
a prominent clubwoman, declar-
ed that the suffrage would antag-
onize thousands of women and
needlessly inject politics into
philanthropies.
The cause of suffrage has re-
ceived a double impetus, remark
several Chicago papers, since
during the very week of the Fed
GRAFTON convention the Illinois
Supreme Court declared consti-
tutional the law by which women
in that state are now partially
enfranchised. This means, in
the words of the Chicago Trib.
une, that the women voters of
Illinois now may take off their
wrapsand hang uptheir bonnets
They have come to stay" And
while this fact is primarily OF
state interest,"" it is, in the
opinion of the Chicago News, "ot
import to the whole country:
The fact that suffrage has
crossed the Mississippi River
has had a moral influence on the
Eastern States. If the Illinois
Supreme Courts decision had
been adverse, the causes would
have been set back in the
country as whole. The Liter
ary Digest.

How Roosevelt Won the Conf
dence of the South Americans

Roosevelt is the United
States" 1 frequently heard it
stated, and that, too, by people
who are accustomed to weigh
we'll their words. HE typifes
all that is best in your great and
progressive land, and we feel
many thousand miles nearer
your country than we did before
his arrival. F."
What particularly a a..delighted
everyone was to find The illustri-
GUS guest so surprisingly human
and sympathetic. "Que hom.
bre tan simpatico." was a fre.
quent exclamation heard when
he responded, as he always did,
to the kindly greetings of the
people who gathered in throngs
to see him at every village and
town through which he passed.
From the very first he won
the hearts of the people and gain
ed their confidence. The sus-
picions and prejudices and i'll
will that had long been ranking
in their bosoms regarding the
COLOSSUS of the North,' as the
Uuited States was called, disap.
peared as if by magic. When he
assured his hearers that the
United States wished to live in
perfect harmony with all the
countries of South America;
that the reported plans of con,
quest and domination in the
southern continent by the Unit
ed States were but idle fancies
or malicious reports circulated
by interested persons or by
political mischief makers; when
he solemly declared that he
wished to see all the nations OF
the Western Hemisphere possess
equal opportunities for working
out their respective destinies
they believed him, for, as they
said. He speaks the truth, be
cause he speaks from the heart. ,

South America" by J. A. Zahm

movement. The now success
full fight of the suffragists to
break down the Federatior's con-
stitutional bar on political and
religious subjects" was a long
one, as a Chicago correspondent
notes. For it was just twenty
two years ago, we are reminded
editorally by the Albany
Knickerbocker Press, during
the first biennial convention at
Chicago" that "a delegate arose
and proposed the indorsment of
equal suffrage in plank of the
Federation. She stood alone.
Not another delegate supported
her. She was gently and firmly
suppressed" Then "the conven.
tion proceeded peacefully to dis.
cuss self-improvement, personal
culture, kindergartens, and
other comparatively tame, non
intlammable subjects. But this
year, by vigorous and prepon-
derant chorus of ayes " the
convention passed this resolution:
Whereas, the question of
political equality of men and wo-
men is to-day a vital prob EN-
under discussion throughout the
civilized world,
Resolved, that the General
Federation of Women's Clubs

That such an organization, de.

More Of Roberts County
Standard Man Takes Swing into
the Southern Portion.

Having occasion to visit Sum-
NIT in an official capacity on
Tuesday, Shiritf Minder kindly
invited the Standard man to oc-
cupy a seat in his automobile.
Never having previously taken
trip through that portion Of
the county. advantage of such a
pleasant ride was eagerly taken.
In passing through Peever we
stopped long enough to take a
cooling drink at the drug store,
and went on, taking what is
known as the west road to Sum-
nit. To a man who has lived in
a tree country, the sight of the
beautiful grove at the John
Crocher farm was good for the
eyes, the oak trees looking
especially inviting.
After turning into the hills
the village of Summit was reach.
ed in due course Of time.
Indications there point to
d good town, but it was reported
that the place was given small
set. back a few months ago when
the Milwaukee road closed the
round house there and took away
the ''pushers" which had been
helping the trains over the hills.
This meant the removal of sew
eral families, and railroad men
are always good spenders. Bro.
Burdine was found in his den,
assiduously distributing big
handful of type, in an atmos-
phere something less than $50
in the shade. Ben Wilson, the gen.
ial publican, was out of town, but
a number of other business men
were met.
Taking the east road for Will
mot we were soon down out OF
the hills and onto a level and
most beautiful farming country,
where waving fields of corn and
small grain giving promise of an
immense yield, were passed in
rapid succession until Wilmot
was reached. Here we were
well cared for supper time by
the very accommodating people
of the Merchants hotel. While
Mr.. Minder was visiting with
his brother, the writer, with
Bert Opsal for pilot, was given
an opportunity to size up the
town. AS a whole it is a town
to be proud of. The business
street is good one, with its
rows of good substantial build
ings, many of them being OF
brick. AS for the residences
they are neat, we'll kept and
we'll painted, Mr.. Opsal having
one of the very best down there
which cost him somthing over
$4,000. The churches too, are
well painted and look good. The
fine new school house is beginn
ing to show up and promises te
be a building of which all the
citizens will be proud. Severa
new residences are also going
up, which are further evidences
of the prosperity of the town.
Some splendid road work both
north and south of the village is
being done. The north road is
being heavily gravelled and
will be something permanent.
Home was reached with a
better opinion than ever of oul
home county, although a very
high opinion of this part of the
state had always been enter
tanned, several trips around
having but broadened our view.

left upon the mind of the writer
may not be out Of place. Pass.
