The defenders of :he present order may frighten the women with all kinds of buge. -boos for a while, but sooner or later they will find out the truth ard once tie women find out fhe truth it will be hard 10 fool them any more.
 We do not exnect the milleni. um to be established when wo- men vote. We do not expect the women to do everything per fectly right and proper when they come to vote. What is good and right is altogether a matter of vi'~point. Women will be de ceived and mislead as to what is their interest the same as men. However they will learn by expe rieace the same as men. Once they know what their interests are and what party best repre- sents these interests. they will act accordingly.

What Shall Women

Lena Morrow Lewis,


 People with opposing inter e-ts can never unite, Coopera- tion i, only possible among peo- ple who have something in com mon. So loa 2 as women as bo dy are denied the right to yote pscau of discrimination made oA aeco ant of sex, they have a common interest in seeking to obtain that right. Once haylag secured 1t they will still act ill contormi y w.;h this principle. The women of Alaska no longer under tbe necessity of having to agitate fol the right of fran chise because they are i'll full possession of il, wlll naturally and logically cooperate with whom they agree and oppose those with whom they differ As women standing equal with the men at the polls,we have noth- thing that women as distinct from men hay want. As polltl cal equals our differences ar not determ ined by our sex, but grow out Of class or social inter ests. Therefore women who wan: to preserve the present sys tem with its advantages for the higher class will unite with the men who Want the same thing to keep ill power the parties and the men who desire this. The women who want to see change, and would like to see the workers get al they produce would like to haze society 50 or ganized that every child. every man and WomBn may have good chance and a fair show in the world, will unite with the men who want the same, to vote for parties aud men who and for tAls.
 Women are made out of much the same kind of material that men are. Where their interest Is ioen>lcal they VIII cooperate. M hrre they are an .agonisllc they will be opposed. Women who work for wages are exploit ed the sume as men. Wives and daughters and sisters of the men of tine working class arc victims of .he insecurity and inadequacy of the capitalist system. When the women wfon4 f,te has con h:gnsd to this class realize their ]os.tlon, they wlll unite with taose who Want to change the e. fm.

CASE GOES FAR BACK.
Litigation Involves Transae tions Cover
ing Thirty Seven Years.

Litigation Involves Transactions Cover
ing Thirty Seven Years.
Grundy Center, Aug. PA case has
been commenced in the courts of this
county which goes back thirty -seven
years. Mrs. II. ]. Arends, of Cedar
Rapids. is the plaintiff in the case and
she brings suit against her mother, Mrs.
John Frerichs.
The petition states that Mrs. Arends.
the plaintiff, is a daughter Of Conrad
Pickleman, that Policeman died Nov. 8,
1877, that at the time of his death he
ives the owner of $50 acres of land in
section 80 Colfax township. and that
she as the only child was entitled to a
two-thirds interest in { is real estate
which she charges that her mother, now
Mrs. Frerichs,9 disposed of. The petit
ton states that the land was acquired
by Hinderk Frerichs who was given a
sheriff's deed to it in the year 1880, fol-
lowing foreclosure of a mechanics
lien for $445.
Mrs. Arends claims legal right to
this real estate and that she has been
in legal possession of the same since
1873. She now prays that title to it be
quieted and that the defendant be re-
quired to account to plaintiff for rents
and profits from this land since that
time.
Mrs. Arends claims in her petition
that she did not know that she had a
legal right to this land until some little
time ago when she gave a history Of
her life to her attorney in Cedar Rapids
who was helping her to adjust her hus-
bands affairs. Her husband, it will be
remembered died as the result of an
electric shock received while on police
duty in Cedar Rapids last spring.
