Votes for Women.
A Sense Of Justice and Fairness Is
in the Demand for Woman
Suffrage.

The first question on the con-
stitutional amendment ballot is
that of woman suffrage. If you
believe that your wife, mother
or sister should have voice in
the making of the laws that
govern them, and that they
would be as likely to cast an in
telligent vote as the hobo and
loafer who is granted this right
simply because he is man, you
will vote "Yes'' on this PROPOSE
ton. The following are some of
the principal reasons why we
believe women should be allowed
to vote:
Because women must obey the laws
lust as men do-they should vote
equally with men.
Because women pay taxes just as
men do. thus supporting the govern
ment-they should vote equally with
men.
Because women suffer from bad
government just as men do-they
should vote equally with men.
Because mothers want TO make
their children's surroundings better
they should vote equally with men.
Because about 100000 women in
the United States are wage workers,
and their health and that. OF our
future citizens are often endangered
by evil working conditions that can
only be remedied by legislation
they should vote equally with men.
Because women of leisure who at
tempt to serve the public welfare
should be able to support their advice
by their vote-they should vote
equally with men.
Because busy house mothers and
professional women cannot give such
public service and can only serve the
state by the same means used by the
busy men. namely, by casting q ballot
they should vote equally with men.
Because women need to be trained
to higher sense of social and civic
responsibility and such sense develops
by use--they should vote equally with
men.
Because women are consumers and
consumers need fuller representation
IN politics-th they, should vote equally
with men.
Because women are citizens OF
government Of the people by
the people and for the people. and
women are people they should vote
equally with men.

Bad Booze Starts a Fire that

Men sitting in the Brannon liv-
cry barn Office about 20 minutes
to nine o'clock in the evening Of
Thursday, saw glare of light
and flame burst through the
north window of what was known
as the Hilmer building on third
street opposite the barn. The
whole back building was imme.
dlately in flames, and by the
time the hose.cart reached the
scene it was seen that the build
ing was beyond saving. Two
streams we're poured upon it,
but only the walls were left
standing when the fire was put
out. When the fire had been sub
dued the firemen were horrified

the debris. The body was taken
out and it was identified as that
Of Otto Peterson, who was occu-
pying the rear rooms of the
house. The head and face
were burned SO that identitlca-
tion would have been difficult.
but the clothing and the ring
which the man wore on one of
his fingers served to do this, as
well as key to the house which
was found in his pants pocket,
together with a $3.50 in silver
money.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. But from information
gathered from different sources,
it appears that Peterson, who
was a drinking man, with three
others had had a keg Of beer and
had been playing cards during
the early evening in the Peterson
kitchen A fight had taken place
and Peterson had pounded one
of the men called Burt, and
had afterwards put him to bed,
but the man had later gotten up
and gone out, as he was seen to
pass the Brannon livery stable
with his face swollen and with
out hat or coat. Two Of the 9th.

" man present when the fire
burst out One of the lids was
off the stove and a kerosine can
was standing near. so it is sur
missed he attempted to start a
tire.in the stove with oil, as he
had about SIX o'clock borrowed
a can of kerosine from a neigh
Dor, Mrs. Martin.
Peterson was a Dane, about 80

has been for some time taking
care of the aged Mrs Mahsh.
He was said to be a good worker,
but through his drinking habits
his family has had to be helped
by public and private charity
on several occasions.
The building was owned by
Mrs Ernest Hilmer, and was in
sured in the Commercial Union
of London, for 5000. It was
originally built for boarding
or hotel, but of late years has
simply been occupied as dwell
ing. Besides the Peterson fur
niture which was all destroyed,
