Women Vote In Chicago


In the rece primary election In
Chicago forty seven thousand won
en- voted, or thirty per cent OF those
who we're registered. or the men
who we're registered. not over thirty
four per cent voted. The difference
is remarkable only by its smallness
Il administers one more sledge ham
mer blow TO the stock anti-suffrage
argument that women do not want
90 vote Whether they want TO vote
CT not. they will vote when the duty
OF voting is theirs.
Nearly one-third of the women reg
istered In the city went TO the polls.
But In some districts where the need
for their votes was great, the proper
ticn rose much higher. A telegram
from Miss Jane Adams. sent in res
ponse to a request from The Outlook
and published in that paper. gives
somo significant facts. Miss Add
ans says:
An discussions in the women's or
ganlzations during the past six weeks
tended to confirm the belief that the
womens vote would be non-partisan.
Their vote in many wards manifest
ed real independence OF judgment.
In some wards-notably two univer-
sity wards where non-partizan candi'
dates we're in the field-this was
shown by remaining away from the
primary, only eight and eleven per
cent respectively voting. In con-
trast. In the Fifth Ward. where there
was q real contest against one OF the
old gray wolves" OF the council who
had, long been opposed by the NUM-
cipal Voters League. seventy-iiye
per cent of the registered women
voted. Similarly in the Eleventh
Ward seventy per cent OF the regis
tered women voted. They defeated
a man condemned by the Municipal
Voters League and backed by the
united societies representing the
liquor interests, when the mems vote
would clearly have elected him. In
the Eighth Ward candidates endors-
ed by the liquor interests and con.
demned by the Municipal League
were defeated. In the Ninth Ward
the candidates approved by the MUM
cipal Voters League were elected af-
ter a real contest, the women streng-
thening the better element
n women are going to persist in
voting in rs large proportions as
men. whenever they get the chance,
and in voting intelligently on the
side OF decency and good order as
they have done in Chicago, the way
OF the antisuffragist will become
more thorny every year. IL is
thorny enough already. Suffrage is
marching on.--The Independent.

A Personal Fitness Test

An acid test has been suggested
for persons who aspire TO political Of

man invests his money within the
state or outside. A more searching
test would be a personal valuation

ness as a basis. Money and It's In.
vestment should not be a principal
criterion for Judging a mans fitness
for political office. How does man
invest himself IS a more important
consideration.

II is important that the public know
the larger details of mans business
connections in order to judge TO what
extent their interests. il entrusted TO

The best way TO judge man is to
take him when he is OFF his guard.
Then he ac,s naturally and not ac-
ccrding TO the conventions of time
and circumstance. A man is of his

Rays his real self then He is on his

cal sap begins to rum Where a man
invests himself and how he does it is
vastly more important than consi-
deration OF the pros and cons of his

aspirants to Office have little surplus
to invest--at least before they have
held Office SO a safer criterion for
Judging how man will act in office
for a period of two years is to note

the past ten years--and you may de-
pend upon his neighbors to know

The prediction has been made that
nothing will come OF the Carnegie re-
port On education here in Vermont,
but such a forecast Is probably I'M
sound, for the report unquestionably
will have a mighty influence on edu-
cational thought in the state for
years TO come. Il would not be
strange. however. II most OF the spe.
oihc points for legislation are ignored
for some time because OF the many
interests that might combine TO de-
feat such legislation.-St Adams
Messenger.
The Banner believes that a good
deal win come OF the Carnegie report
but II anybody or any faction thinks
tina, It will result in carrying out his
or their particular ideas they are
likely to be disappointed. We ex.
pect to see the report and the find.
ings Of the commission which will
follow arouse an interest in Vermont
that will fully justify the expense
which has been incurred and the re-
suit should be an improvement all
along the line. The Banner does not
believe in cutting of the appropria.
tons for the three Vermont colleges.
They have done too much and have
aided too many young Vermonters in
getting a start in life TO be treated
otherwise than with generosity and
high regard II may be that the col.
leges have had more than their share
in the past but they have done so
well with wha. has been given them
that Nermonters Will not allow them
TO be crippled or put out OF commits
sion. II may be that il win be
necessary even to taper down their
appropriations a little for q brief
time but not to the point OF serious
ly lessening their usefulness. or
course the state must give it's first
attention to the elementary schools
and II is TO be hoped that the dis
cussion that has been started will
crystalize public sentiment to a point
. that will force improvement in the
public schools in every way possible.
but after this is done the s.ate can
and must-out of respect TO the hon
orable name of Vermont-proyide as
far rs possible for the colleges until
by endowment or other aid they
can make so firm their position as
to require no further help from the
public funds. Vermont. Middlebury
and Norwich are splendid trio and
the Green Mountain Boys and Girls
CT this day and generation are too
patriotic to see them hamstrung and
Inundated for want of few paltry
thousands, even though it comes hard
to meet all the calls that are made
on the state treasury. Money invest.
ed in education pays interest in more
ways than one.

"When I went up there frstn he said. there weren't any palatial steamers running, like those that run now. Those that heaedd for the North were just old tubs. And when we got there, there was no means of transportation from place to place If we wanted to 90 up river we had to build our own boats before we could do 1t. tell you, if were IS years old, instead of 54, would surely go there and stick there, for Alaska is the place with the big fu- ture. if any ever existed"

wAR.MAMNe IN TIE DARK,

Asking the question, Gan Europe ever again tolerate the appalling peril of secret diplomacy" the conclusion of the London Daily Mail News Is that the example of the United States must hereafter become the model of the civilized world"
 The war now raging in Europe is the direct result of royaltys secret diplomacy. For a generation past the great armaments there have been
 falsely represented as making for peace. when we all know now that they were making for war; Every thing relating to supreme government. tai policies has been secret except the existence of the colossal war ma chimes and the crushing taxes which have sustained them.
 Every gory field, every ruined town, every crowded hospital and every des- olate home today cries out against war secretly planned and executed by mon- archs. If the war of kings does not end in war upon kings. no matter whose standards shall at last claim the victory, it will bring nothing but loss and sorrow to mankind. - New York World.

SEATTLE MEN GET
 GOOD ALASKA MINE

SEATTLE. Sept. 5.-Authoritatiye reports from Crow creek. near Turn again arm on Kenai peninsula, Alaska, the scene of the recent reported gold strike, indicated yesterday that the properties held by the Alaska Crow Creek Mining company in which many prominent Seattleites are inter ested, are exceptionally promising and will undoubtedly develop into one of the largest hydraulic mines in the Northern territory,
 News of the strike was first receiy- cd here last month and occasioned considerable excitement in Alaskan circles. The best pay is located on the claims of the Seattle company, 1t is re- ported, and seven years of constant toll against heavy and discouraging odds, according to all indications, will at length be crowned with success.
 N. B. Solner, cashier of the Union Savings & Trust Co, returned to Se- attle yesterday after thirty-day trip spent in business and pleasure in Al aska, during which he had occasion to stop at the Crow creek properties. He not only bore out other reports re- celved, but declared that mining con- ditlons in the same vicinity are also unusually promising.
 Twenty.seven claims are owned by the local company at Crow creek. Amounts of money already spent on developing the property are estimated at more than $15O,OOO. Among the Seattle men interested are Charles R. Brown, manager of the Continental Distributing company H. L. Jaffe, wholesale liquor dealer; R. R. Rhodes and Dick Dawson, the last-named well known pioneer Alaska operator.
 Three distinct paystreaks of placer gold are said to have been discovered one of which, at bedrock yielded pans reported as high at $44. Operators on the local company's property struck their biggest paystreak earlier than had been xpected.-Seattle Times.

JUNEAU MATTRESSES
 NEW YORK LAWYER

Herbert Noble, of the great New York law firm of Noble, Estabrook &s MoHarg. with offices at 1l5 Sraodway, thinks Alaska is great country. Both Mrs. Noble -and myself are de- lighted with it." he said this morning" and we look forward to another visit with . great deal of pleasure. The Juneau section is very impressive. The possibilities here cannot be esti- mated. The resources In mining way are stupendous,"
 Yesterday Mir. Noble. assisted by Vim & Burton. attorneys for Receiv- CT Mackay, completed the work that brought him to Juneau at this time, the clearing up of the legal obstacles in the way of placing the Ebner min ing properties in condition to be han dled by organized capital. There Is little doubt now among mining men here but that in few months another large consolidation and big develop ment program will be underway at Ju. neau.
 Persons familiar with the situation declare that Mr. Noble was the real force that brought the warning fac tions in the old Ebner mining con cern together and made it possible for a reorganization. and the securing of capital with which to carry ont tenta. tive plans that have been agreed up, on.
 Mir. Noble was formerly head of the law department at Columbia Univer- sity and is rated as one of the great. est lawyers of the country. He en. joys warm personal friendship with former Attorney General McReynolds who was but recently appointed to the Supreme Court.
 In addition to being a great lawyer, Mir. Noble is great Democrat and is warm supporter of President vii. son. "The President" he said. has the confidence of the best and most substantial people and interests of the country. His Mexican policy has been viudicated and he saw with the eye of a prophet the conditions that could arise and now exist in Europe and has guided the nation along safe lines"
 MT. and Mrs. Noble spent altogeth. CT more than two weeks here, guests of the Hotel Cain. while the work was underway that called him here He 'visited the big Perseverance mines, the plant at Thane. Salmon creek pow. CT plants and other points of interest as the guest of General Manager B. L. Thane and has very comprehensive idea of the mining development and It's activities.
