WOMEN QUALIFIED TO HOLD PUBLIC
OFFICE.

No qualification prescribed by the
oklahoma constitution in terms makes
any distinction between the sexes in
the matter OF holding the office OF
county clerk, or for that matter Of
clerk OF the district court, is held in s
decision of the supreme court, handed
down today. the opinion being written
by Justice Turner.
The decision comes In the case Of
MRS John Stone" of Washita county
who sought to mandamus the county
election board To permit her name go
ing on the ballot for the office OF coun
ty clerk. When the election board re-
fused to allow her name to go on the
ballot she appealed to the district
court and the position OF the election
board was sustained. Then she ap-
pealed to the high court. The lower
court is reversed and directed to grant
the mandamus.
According to the opinion Of the court
there il no distinction in this state be-
tween the sexes in the matter OF a
qualified voter. If the legislature in
tended to disqualfy on account Of
sex" says the court, 1T would have
used the word 'elector' instead Of
voter Guthrie Register

the Commercial Organizations of the

position Dollar Day" August Is, in
making it Tag Day" in each city, and
set forth the statistics that five million
people move annually, that the most
prosperous states are those which an
nuAlly receive the largest number OF
those who seek new homes, that Inter
national Expositions have a vast in
tiuence over this migration, because
they are in reality auction sales where
states bid for this immigration by
making exhibits Of their agricultural
and mineral resources, and by showing
their progress development, and evi-
dences Of prosperity. People want to
go where land is cheay and where OPP
portunity is greatest, and expositions
furnish the information and evidence.
The Oklahoma Panama Exposition
Commission has been working without
compensation, merely through state
pride to provide a suitable building
and make creditsble exhibit at the
Panama Pacific International EIposi-
ton at San Francisco in 1915. The
Commission needs ard deserves the
cooperation, Of every community in
the state. Everyone, who possibly
can, should contribute their one dollar
to the building fund arrangements
have been made that these donations
can be left with the local banker who
will remit to the commission.

WOMAN AND HER JOB.

Those gentle mollycoddles, says the
Wictita Beacon, Who fear that giving

her vital wemanly qualities ought to
read history.
The strongest womanhood which the
wo!ld ever knew was the Teutonic
womanhood which accompanied the
men to war, suckled their own babies,
had2supervision over the crops in the
field and the making Of the garments
ia the home. They gave to the world
a race OF physical warriors and mental
giants. It's just as important that a
woman occupy her mind and body with
something useful as il is that man
does not allow himself to deteriorate
through physical and mental inAnity
You cannot expect 'namby PAM
by" over-indulged lazy woman to pro-
duce anything but weak and lazy mas
hood.
The women Of the world need some
thing serious to do, and history records
the fact that when you give them SER
ious things to do they do these serious
things even better than men do. with
more loyalty, with more faithfulne.s.
with keener grasp.
The new day that woman is demand

means better self development and
better children; it means better gov
eminent fer the world in which she is

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are at

cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-

your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inhamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-

is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing

FIVE men to start with. with possible
ties for growth a. the demand re

There are, two separate paint fac.
tories in st. Louis manufacturing
standard brands of paint. Through
the efforts Of Mr. Stockdale, Chicago
capital has been interested in one OF
the factories, and the two interests
brought together. 1t was first thought
that the factories would be moved to
Chicago. Mr. Stookcale, who was
manager of the commercial depart
ment of the Stone & Webster en-
gineering corporation during the
construction of the power house here
hit upon the idea Of bringing the
plants to keokuk and consolidating
them
This is the proposition on which
he is now engaged. Mr.. Stockdale
realized the benefits which could be
obtained from move to Keokuk. and
knowing the city and the facilities il
had to offer is now completing ne
gotiations for bringing the plant:
