WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

Inspired letters have been received
for The past ten days by members OF
this legislative assembly from various
women throughout the state request
ing them to support the Bronson bill
granting suffrage to women.
n most of the letters no reasons
are assigned for asking the members
to resubmit this question. All can
understand fully the reason for this,
for no logical reason can be given
for submitting this question immedi-
ately after its defeat by such a large
majority of the electors. We quote an
answer made by one of the members
of the legislature to the request made
by a woman from his district to sup.
port the bill and it seems to cover
the point completely:
"Your favor of the Goth inst, re-
questing me to support the bill
granting suffrage to women is at
hand and contents noted.
Replying to same will say that
at the last general election the
question of woman's suffrage was
submitted to the voters Of the
state and rejected by a majority
Of 9,401.
AT the general election, the
voters adopted a concurrent reso'
luton providing for the amending
of our constitution by an initia-
tive vote; this law permits the
people to vote directly upon any
question amending our Constitu-

II FOOD SUPPLY.

Napoleoh's dictum that an army
fights on its stomach is being verified
by current events of the present war.
The problem of food supplies is para
mount and the relation OF the com.
missariat to the success of arms is
being driven home these days.
England is attempting to starve
Germany into submission through her
mastery of the seas. This, however,
may be more historical than actual
if the United States and other neu-
trails insist on their rights within the
water war zone established by Eng.
land and Germany.
The note SEN England and Ger.
many is significant. United States
proposes to protect her commerce and
the lives of her citizens. OF course,
her power to do 50 now is limited.
This navy and army are hardly in
fighting condition.
If England and Germany insist that
United States obey arbitrary rules for
commerce in the North Sea, Just what
THIS nation can do in the premises is
interesting at this time.
1t is clearly part of England's plan
and, in fact, a general military rule,
to lessen the power Of the enemy by
cutting off food supplies. The power
of England and her allies to isolate
Germany and force her to terms Of
peace by reducing her ability to Sc
cure food, measures in a great degree
the length Of this wal.
Germany's plan to retaliate by sub
marine attacks on merchant marine
is her only defense. Her failure,
however, to reach Calais and other
Channel points along the north coast
Of France, handicaps her in the plan
to cut off the food supplies OF the
allied armies engaged in France.
The war now seems to have sim
mered down, as far as the western
front is concerned, to the problem OF
rations. While there are slight evi.
dences that the food supply of Ger.
many is diminishing, there is ne proof
that it is inadequate. The frugality
OF the race, which IS traditional,
prompts the nation to conserve its
food supply against future e~xigeacies.
Wonderful patriotism is reflected in
the food regulations of Berlin. The
entire nation is going, as it were, on
half rations so that the defenders on
J the firing line may be we'll fed and
kept fit for the strain of battle. Peo'
pie with such determination are not
= easily beaten. We hardly believe a
race like the Germans can be starv'
ed into submission. The same blood
flows in the veins of the Germans
Z and English.
Few can dispute that the issue Of
" this wal will turn upon the ability OF
the nations to feed their population
both at home and in the war zone.
: No one can help but admire the
S%partan-like spirit Of the Germans a
home, who suffer in silence the de
~privations necessitated by war. Eng
land and France doubtless will do the
same when necessity dictates.
This is d battle of giants. Tit
white feather will never be shown
and only when the limit of human
\ endurance has been reached will
peace reign over Europe.
It is not now so much a battle o
military wits as an endurance test.

RESULTS COMING IN.

Gazette echoes our sentiments in the
following editorial:
"In the recent meeting at Bismarck
at which representatives IF the Equi-
ty Cooperative Exchange presented
arguments in favor Of the proposed
terminal elevator to be constructed
| by the state, George S. LOTUS, sales
manager of the Exchange, caused a
big sensation by calling certain mem
bers of the legislature crooks, and
charging directly that they had been
bought by the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce to defeat any such mea-
sure. At this meeting, which was
held in the Commercial CLUB rooms
in Bismarck, besides the three hun,

tunnels 10 and 15 feet long have been driven in a steep gully that joins the canyon. and several open cuts have been made. As shown by these dis connected openings, there is a belt raching a width of 10 feet, of rusty mineralized country rock cut by some quartz veins which carry sulphides and are stained by green copper car bonate. No sampling was done by the writer, but it is reported that as- says taken from the quartz veins have shown a high gold content. Other claims supposedly on the continuation of this mineralized zone, have been staked on both side of upper Dry Gulch.
 Some quartz claims have also been staked on Canyon Creek about three fourths of mile above it's mouth, but no development work had been done there.
