FIRST WOMAN'S RIGHT CONVEN'
TON

Sixty-six years ago today the
worlds first Woman's Right Conven'
ton was held. The scene was in the
Methodist church at Seneca Falls, n.
Y, and the prime movers were Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott.
The little country church was crowd
ed to the doors during the two days
of the convention. Some of the coun-
try's most notable men were present
and cheered when the Declaration
of Woman's Rights" drawn up along
the lines of the Declaration of indie
pendence of the American colonies,
was promulgated. The document set
forth the condition of women at that
time. The feminine speakers pointed
out that colleges and high schools
are closed to women; man monOpo-
Lies the renumerative employments;
women are not permitted to speak
in public; married women cannot
hold property, are not entitled to
their own earnings, cannot conduct
a business in their names, cannot
make a contract or will, OF bring
suite in court; nor or they considered
as competent guardians of their chill
dren, and nowhere in the civilized
world is woman permitted to have her
say in government" The revolt amaz-
ed the world, and brought ridicule
and sarcasm down upon the pioneers.
Today American women theoreti-
cally have sufficient votes to decide
who shall be the president of the
United States. Ten states have grant
ed full suffrage to their 100000 more
women, and are now debating wheth-
er to extend full suffrage. This ques-
ton will be decided before the next
presidential election is held. In sew
eral of the states women today are
filling important civic and state po-
liticial offices, and are candidates for
others. Women suffrage has become
a worldwide movement. The subject
of women suffrage has been present
ed before every national legislative
body in the world, with the single
exception of Turkey, during the past
two years. The women of twenty-six
nations are banded together in an
alliance and are struggling for po-
litical recognition in their respective
countries. In the field of "remunera-
tive employments." today in the
United States there is one woman to
every four men engaged in gainful
occupation. Five per cent of these wo-
men are married, and their vocations
range from blacksmiths and roof
shinglers to bank presidents, archi-
tees and lawyers.

God bless the flag! Let it float and
fill
The sky with its beauty; our heart
strings thrill
To the low, sweet chant of it's wind
swept bars,
And the chorus of all its clustered
stars.
Embrace it, o mothers! and heroes
shall grow,
While its colors blush warm on your
bosom of snow.
Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet
err death
Than to float its fair folds with a SOL
dier's last breath!
And love it, o children! be true to
the sireS
Who wove it in plain by the old camp
fires.

MUST CLIMB THE HILLS


Every man must climb his hills.
Strength springs from effort: charac-
ter takes root in disappointment ana
delay. Peace and contantment can
only be established ty contrasting ex'
perience. Those who lave lost 1os-
know the meaning of winning. fsarn-
ing fixes the value OF possession. IN
one way or another. each human must
pay his price. The poor may
through deprivation, but the rich are
bored with safety. t always "
everything discounts the fun worm
of anything. The fruit within easiest
reach possesses the least flavor: its
zest increases with its height from
the ground; scarcity and ~inaccessi'
bility are determining factors IN ev'
cry market.
Men and ideas, as well as gems and
metal, are valuable in proportion to
their rarity and individuality. Com-
monplace individuals and articles
alike command the minimum. If you
think along trite lines-if you elect
an overcrowded career-if you set
O u brain to conventional pursuits,
-x7u'1l be lucky if you manage to exc
Jut a bare living.
There is no faiiUre SO absolute as
hat of a man who has never ma ts a
whole-hearted attempt to realize 70
the full extent of his capabilities.
The world is filled tn discontent-
ed people who hav> not cause TO"
complaint except against themselves.
Without ambition o: resolution. they
adopt the first profession, enter The
first trade or accept the first position
they encounter, estimating neither
their inherent fitness for the &c ;upa-
ton nor possible aptitude fCr broader
affairs. Cowardice, in some form, is
invariably at the root of in~efficiency.
Unwillingness to undergo an occa-
sional bitter moment. or fer OF fall
down, or dread of temporary suffer
ing, or lack of self-confidenco are the
contributing factors in the colorless
careers of millions. The few who rise
to power and domination are seldom
geniuses. Persistence and optimism
win almost every battle with circum-
stance. You can obtain more and
gain more if you will strain harder.
The number of hours through which
you toll play but little part in the te-
suit. The secret of progress lies in
the number of faculties which you
bring to bear in our endeavors.
When heart and soul and mind as
we'll as fingers and eyes are conccn-
trated upon an undertaking-wncn
scars and bruises and penalties are
accepted as an expected part OF The
daily grind-when you can look your
self over each morning and in the as
that you are still sound and
sane-find inspiration to attempt
anew-no goal is fixed too far-no re-
ward set too high.-Herbert Kaut-

1t is estimated that 900 persons
visited the dairy and hog demonstra-

hour and a half which it was open
near the freight depot. The train.
as previously announced, consisted OF
eight cars and was accompanied by
an able corps of lecturers. DR..
Withycombe of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, H. A. Henshaw, general
agent of the Southern Pacific lines
in Oregon, and Mr., Woodruff, public
ity agent of the s. p, accompanied
the train. President Withycombe
introduced the various speakers and
gave a brief talk urging the people
to raise hogs and take up dairying.
The speakers with the train are
Prof. r. r. Graves, who talked on
dairying; Prof. l.. Z. Potter and Prof.
G. r. Sampson, who talked on hogs
and hog feeding; Prof. @. A. Barr,
who discussed silos; Mr.. Wilbur K.
Newell, a well-known Holstein dairy
man; William Schulmerich, who has
accumulated a fortune in dairying,
and Mr.. E. Carey, who has the high

the east would belong to the Union
Pacific. The resolution was passed,
but not with very enthusiastic vote,
several being heard to remark that
they did not know enough about the
matter to be able to express an opin-
ion.
Mr.. Mccoy also brought up the
matter of securing guarantee of the
funds needed for the special exhibit
building, it being understood that the
legislature should make an appropri-
alton for the reimbursement of those
subscribing. He was on motion au-
thorized to appoint a committee to
solicit such subscriptions.
President Withycombe of the Ore
gon Agricultural College was called
upon to tell of the demonstration
train which was in our city today and
he spoke briefly, complimenting the
Rogue River Valley highly and pledg-
ing his hearty cooperation to the
the Ashland Normal. Mr.. Witty.
combe stated that the inception of
modern dairying and improved stock
raising in Oregon both in cattle and
horses had its birth in Ashland, the
late w. c. Myers having the first reg
istered herd of dairy cattle in Ore
gon and the first bunch of registered
draft horses in the state. Mr.. Witty
combe was heartily applauded at the
close of his remarks.
w. E. Newcombe was called upon
to welcome our new citizens and
spoke we'll, discussing briefly the ad-
vantages of the valley and extending
hearty welcome to the newcomers.
Mayor Johnson was then called
upon to speak upon Cooperation"
and dwelt largely upon the necessity
of cooperation between the city Of
ficials and the Commercial Club and
other organizations of the town. He
likened a community to a machine,
in that there had to be cooperation
of all the parts, and that the failure
of one part to do its duty prevented
others doing theirs. He urged CO.
