Gonzales reports killing 1900 and

WASHINGTON, July 11.--Gen-
eral Pablo Gonzales has occupied
Mexico City, according to informa-
tion given by Carranza officials to
American consular officers at Vera
Cruz tonight.
No details were given in the mes
sages which reached here late to-
night, but the advices were regarded
as probably correct, as the Carranza
forces had been reported earlier in
the day as in the outside districts of
the city itself. Whether any fighting
took place in the streets or the
Zapata forces had evacuated was not
stated.

average farmers wife has this
right-usually printed in italics.
1t is because she does her work
promptly and without complaint
that agriculture" can puff out its
chest and make such a showing.
Your fat Congressman and your
black-coated professor can get up
and tell about it-and incidentally
call for an appropriation-but
when you get back to the founda-
tion Of it all you strike the brave
and patient worker by the kitchen
stove. What would you think of
matchmaker who put a fine case
on his watch and used the poorest
material he could find for the
handspring How long would his
trade last? Yet, the farm woman
is the handspring of the farm
house, and that means the Inside
works" of the nations business.
Go and look at her working outfit,
and see what sort of material is
put into the handspring. One
thing that does me good it that
story on page 487 of the farmers
wife, who, on washing day, can
hear from her back door the puff
and cough of dozen gasoline en-
gines all at work running wash
ing and wringing machines. A
great thought that, for the saving
of that hand labor at scrubbing
and grinding pays good interest
in wife, mother and partner. No
use talking, the farm woman is en-
titled to a warm house, running
water, plenty of fuel and good
outfit of kitchen equipment. These
things belong to her, and she
ought to have them. In most cases
she can get them if she will try
and use her brains. Striking" OF
scolding are not worth while. A
wise woman can usually create :
family sentiment" about such
things which will bring then
along. In many, and perhap.
most cases, the women will be OBJ
liged to start the outfit with he,

A FARM EDITORS VIEW
OF WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE

there were always the same old
arguments now urged against the
intelligence and fitness of women.
AS each class of new voters was
accepted mistakes were made, and
always large proportion were in
different or did not want the
franchise. My belief is that wo
men, as a class, will bring finer
judgment and keener sense of JUS
tice into public life than any for
mer class of newly enfranchised
voters.
You notice, | say will bring.
While | doubt if New York and
New Jersey are yet ready for suf-
frage, l regard the ultimate out
come as sure. 1t may be some
years yet, but you may take it
from me that sooner or later this
entire country will give the bal
lot to women. 1t may be wiser to
delay it few years in our Allan
tic States. l am a philosopher and
shall not get excited and scold the
children if we are beaten, or even
badly beaten, in New Jersey. l
am sure, however, that nothing
can stop or turn this movement
aside, and our children will look
back in wonder at our age when
there was any question about the
ability of intelligent women to as
sumo the responsibilities of voting.
Our little boys come of pedigree
which includes shareholders on
both sides. | saw one of them
reading "Uncle Toms Cabin" the
other day, and he wondered that
there could ever be such a thing as
slave in this country. Years age
in New England people would
come together an raise" or put
up the timbers of a church-anc
then drink up several barrels OF
rum. How your children woult
wonder at that! Well, sir, your
grandchildren will have greater
wonder at some of the argument.

My Task

When, in church pews, men wor-
ship God in words,
But meet their kind with swords,
When fair Religion, stripped of
holy passion,
Walks masked as Fashion,
Let me not wax indignant at the
sight
Or waste my strength bewailing
her sad plight.
This is my task: To search in my
own mind
Until the qualities of God / find;
To seek them in the heart of
friend and foe,
Or high or low,
And in my hours of toll or prayer
or play,
To live my creed each day.
This is my task.

it may not make much difference

The chief argument with me is
that my wife and daughter would
like to have me vote to give them
this voting privilege and right.
No, | am not what you would call

both time and trials have proved
that. 1t is theory of democracy
that the men of the house should
fairly represent his household,
both in war and in the battles of
Peace. My father was killed in
the Civil War. My mother lived
and struggled to bring up five
children as best she could. Who
will tell me that father was the
better patriot of the two? Who
will say that mother should not
have a chance to vote and help
give legal protection to her child
