sexual independence Just wanting
to vote is the least of the problem
The younger suffragists admit that the
vote is but a tool to accomplish a
complete social revolution"
Mrs. George quoted from a pamph.
let bearing the imprint Of the Nation
al Woman Suffrage association, state
ments bearing out this assertion.
ut is proposed by radicals that
children be reared by the state in or
der to save the mother from economic
dependence upon the father, and this
just when sociologists have establish
ed the fact that a child is better off
in a poor home than in any public
institution. Colonel Roosevelt used
to see in this idea only "a giori6ed
state free lunch counter and state
founding asylum
"The dry area is increasing rela-
lively faster in male suffrage states
than in woman suffrage states. There
are II prohibition states and eight
states with female suffrage while the
only prohibition state which has fe-
male suffrage is Kansas and it had
prohibition 80 years before it had fe-
male suffrage. It is not a question
what the women will do but what has
been done in suffrage states. Miss
Anna Shaw herself has said: 1t is all
guess work what woman suffrage will
do in the future"

.TIh0N BILLET SHOT
FATALLY WHILE HUNTING

Timon Billet, age II, was accidental
ly shot through the heart Sunday ev.
1ening while hunting near the Axel Mel
son farm, five miles south of Valley
City. 1t seems that the boy left his
home here Sunday afternoon in a cart
enroute for the Nelson farm, and as
he did not return that night Mr.. Billet
began to enquire, about him. At about
1900 this morning, however, the horse
which the boy was driving made its
way to the Axel Nelson home and in
the cart, leaning over the dash board,
sat the boy shot through the heart,
dead and the body cold
The gun was not in the cart and the
boys cap was also missing. From all
indications the gun must have dropped
through the Stats in the cart and was
discharged as it fell, as the wound was
in the boys left side over the heart
and the shot could be seen. on the back
we'll up toward the left shoulder.
Without doubt death was instantan-
eous and the victim scarcely lived to
know what happened.
Mr.. Nelson says he heard shot in
the timber back of the house about
five o'clock Sunday night and in all
robbed Timon of his life.
The body was brought to town this
morning and taken Immediately to the
Halverson undertaking parlors.
The boy was attending the High
school here and was getting along
nicely. The funeral will be held from

THE OTHER SIDE"
BY MRS. GEORGE

BY special request the Times-Record
gives space to the following ideas
which appeared in the Courier News
as part of the speech made by Mrs.
J. T. George a speaker of national
prominence. All are not favorable to
the vote for women" idea and it
seems only fair to present to the vot-
ers both sides Of the important ques-
ton.
"The advocates of woman suffrage
vigorously object to allowing the wo-
men to register their opinion upon
the issue,' said Mrs. George. "This
can only be because they know that
the majority of women do not want
to vote. Never before has it been
proposed to extend the franchise to a
new electorate, the majority of whom
are either Indifferent to it or opposed.
dropping ballot into the box on
election day is not necessarily a con-
tribution to good government. To
win good cause at the polls there
must be organization and generalship,
and the woman who is efficient in
family life has enough organization
under her own roof to enlist all her
resources. She cannot attend prop
erly to both. If women are enfran-
chised, unless they take their respon-
sibilities more seriously than men do
at present, the dangers Of the cleo
torate will have been doubled with
no corresponding advantage.
women are not class, they are a
sex and their interests are the same
as those Of men. Hitherto the affairs
of government have been intrusted to
men while women have had the social
and moral duties of life as their espe-
cial sphere without the duty of exer-
cising political power under the stress
of political ambition. TO give them
the ballot would take away their at
tention from the elevation of the STAN
dard of personal character and fix it
rather upon the ballotbox.
"The militant suffragist enjoys al
civilization perfected by male suffrage
and seeks to defeat man by virtue of
his own consideration Of her. Those
who condone English militancy are
not safe guides in political theory. Wo-
man suffrage doctrine rests upon the
basis of economic independence of
women, and economic independence is
without social independ-
ence and domestic independence and

In an interview last night, Congress-
man H. T. Helgesen scored the De-
mocratic extravagances and declared
that the war revenue bill recently
passed authorizing the collection OF
sos 5000, 900 is not necessitated by tho
European war, as the Democrats would
Nave the people believe, but by tho
act that they have made such enor'
NOUS expenditures that it is necessary
to raise more revenue than ever be-
fore in the history of the government.
1.-THE Democrats" said Mr. Hedge
sen, "are trying to convince the people
that their revenues would have been
sufficient to cover expenses had the
war not broken out in Europe. AS a
matter of fact that is not true, and
this is just where the shoe pinches.
1.-The revenues for the coming year
are estimated at $1,027, 453,0O0, while
the appropriations amount to $1,143,'
56S,777. So the congressional records
show that the appropriations and auth
orizations for next year are about
$4,000 900 more than the estimated
income Of the government. Besides,
President Wilson says that we must
settle with Colombia, and has prac-
tically approved their claim for $685.
100000. He also insists that we pay
Nicaragua the sum of 100000, and
besides that, insists upon a merchant
marine which provides for the expen-
diture of approximately s40,000,000, of
which $10,000,000 is to be cash and
S30,C00,00O in bonds. If these three
measures are passed in the short ses-
sion, a Mr.. Wilson say they must be,
the expenditures for the coming year
will be over $150,O0O,OOO more than
the revenues would have been if there
had been no war;
There is another consideration that
most people have overlooked" Mr..
Helgesen went on. I'm the last fiscal
year, the Democrats collected about
100000 more than the Republicans
did for the year of 1912-1913. Pensions
were reduced some $11,5oO,OOo and

about $4,000 less was paid out on the
Panama canal than in the preceding
year. Besides all this, the Republicans
left a balance in the treasury Of ap.
proximately $147OOO,OOO, which has
been reduced by about $3S,O0O,000 SO
far.
Nobody denies that the war makes
some extra demands" the congress.
man continued, "but not enough to
make special tax necessary. The to-
tai receipts of the government for the
last fiscal year, ending Oct. 1, were
less than SS,OO0,O0O under those of the
preceding year, although the first two
months of the war are included. Now
if two months of the European war
only reduced the years revenue $4,000
900, there is certainly no need of a
$100,000,0OO extra appropriation. 1t is
simply the result of Democratic ex-
travagance.
"The Democrats have made the
statement that they have done moth
ing in the way of tariff legislation that
will injure the farmer. According to
Their own textbook, the total increase
in the value of imports amounts to
$S0,917,223, of which s72,561,794, or
over nine-tenths of the increase, is
farm products. If this isn't injurious
to the farmer, what isl"

Vera cruz, who rode into the Mexican
lines with two horses belonging t. Col.
Taggsrt. has not Vet been heard from tn
spite Of the efforts Of the War Depart
ment and the demands OF Gen Funston.
1t is generally thought in Vera Cru,
that either Gen Mass or Gen Rubio Nav
arctic ordered the execution OF Parks on
the ground that he was 4 spy and that III
WAS Immediately shot by IA firing squad
II such is the case forceful action will
be taken as soon as the facts are ascer-
tanned. AS Parks wore the United States
uniform when he entered the camp no eN-
PLANTATION Of this nature will be enter
tanned by officials OF this Government.
The Secretary Of War minated that q
satisfactory answer to the note sent to
the Federal commander must be made
forthwith or means OF no uncertain nature
would be adopted to fnd out the true
facts of the case. Additional instructions
TO Gen. Funston were telegraphed by the

Internal troubles. In other words. the
mediators. in their original proposals, will
cover every possible phase OF the situation.
After the original proposals the process
o: elimination will begin.
The American representatives will stip-
ulate which OF the proposals they are will
ing 10 consider. Huerta's delegates will
take the same course. and after this
process OF winnowing has ended there
will remain a basis on which the proceed
ings can he carried forward. The United
States will undoubtedly propose the elimi-
nation OF Huerta and the establishment OF
constitutional government In Mexico .
Hutrta will insist on the withdrawal OF
the United States troops from Vera Cruz.
TIE fear here Is that the proposals to
be made by the mediators Will be OF sucn
a character AT the very beginning az to
leave only large cipher when the process
OF elimination is ended.
The mediators realize that nothing can
be accomplished in regard to the settle
ment of Mexico's internal differences with
Carranza refusing - participate in the
