SUFFRAGE AND PRoHIB. LOOSE
Three states turned down a pro-
position TO allow women TO vote last
Tuesday. New York, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania Add 10 this New
Jersey which beat the proposal few
weeks ago and we have an emphatic
disapproyal OF the proposition by four
OF the most influential states OF the
east.
The vote shows plainly that the east
is not ready to,follow the lead OF the
west in the extension OF the suffrage
and that women are not liable to get
the ballot there for some time to come.
The vets have cause to rejoice in the
victory in Ohio where state wide pro
hibition was decisively beaten. The
extent TO which the people are turn
ing down all new propositions just
now would indicate that they think IL
best to watch the Noutcome of the in
novations that have been introduced

All reports regarding the steel
trade are on the bullish order. There
is said 10 be no idle capacity in any
quarter and some OF the companies
are being forced to turn down new
business. Well informed steel men do
not look for any let-up in activity for
year at least. Beyond that they do
not care TO make predictions.
Predictions are being freely made
that earnings OF all the steel com
panies will be the largest in thu his
tory OF the industry during the next
twelve months. Bars, plates. structur-
al steel and wire. and in fact all class
es>of steel, are more active now than
they were during the boom period OF

Buying OF cars by the railroads is
said TO be now heavier than i'm years,

A friend asks me to tell something
OF crops and markets. I saw abundant
crops OF fruit and grains Wheat is
the most talked Of crop In the west
this year and farmers were hurrying
their crops TO market. In the hill
country OF Washington was told that
the yield was from 40 10 SO bushels OF
wheat 10 the acre OF rand planted. In
that section wheat only, is raised and
one is surprised al the ground avail
able for wheat Hills that look worth
less to the upper peninsula farmer
are planted and reaped by machinery.
Only half OF farmers land can be
planted each year. the other half be
ing summer falIowed and conserved
for the next year The rain all comes
I'm the spring. After the spring rains
are over with there is no more mois-
ture until the following spring.
Farmers are making money in wheat
growing this year but when their
yield is compared with that OF the
central west they haven't anything tc
brag OF. A gentleman from Ohio hap
pened to be in the group with me when
the wheat yield was discussed and
when the washingtonian got through
Dragging about the great wheat yield
lit averages from 90 to 25 bushels
per acre on the entire land holdings
my Ohio friend cited facts and figures
to show that the yield in Ohio great,
exceeded that quoted both in bushels
and value and that land isn't held a
nearly so high figure down there

While wheat is leading crop in the
west. everyone is talking fruit There
is plenty OF fruit grown, fruit OF all
kinds I saw a banana tree in bios
som in California There is no ques-
ton OF the ability OF that country to
produce fruit; the only question is OF
the ability OF the fruit rancher TO sell
his fruit at a profit in competition with
the eastern fruit that lis grown so
much nearer the market The fruit
land promoter will try to convince
YOU that Il is the universal custom to
get a profit from fruit culture. The
fruit growers met who were growing
fruit for a living and not for land
speculation, were not so positive about
the profits This year fruit in the west
is drug on the market. They told me
the reason is the European war that
has shut of the sale for much OF the
product OF western canneries. saw
beautiful prunes and grapes being
fed to hogs In parts OF the California
valley signs OF Help yourself were
put up along vineyards. The reason
for the inability TO sell one OF the
kinds OF grapes is that they go into
the manufacture OF a certain kind OF
wine that requires alcohol to be mix
ed with IT, The increase In the internal
revenue tax had boosted the cost OF
making this wine so high that the
profit had been wiped out Wineries
make long term contracts with the
grape growers and this year the win
cries making this particular kind of
wine abrogated their contracts and. as
the grapes are good for no other pur
pose, the growers were left with them

The salvation Of the fruit business
in the west will be the cannery Until
that institution is promoted TO de-
gree that will absorb the fruit which
will not stand transportation charges
east, fruit growing will be a hazar-
dous business TO the man of small
capital. The fruit that Is shipped east
constitutes very small part OF that
grown. The bulk Of the crop will not
stand the large charges and enter
eastern markets in competition with
eastern grown goods This is not to
be interpreted as intimating that

= THE DOCTORS DILEMMA

BY Adela Gray
Copyright by W. G. Chapman)
When Doctor Forman said he
thought Elsie ClaYering could be
cured by simple operation Elsie
looked at him with the usefulness
always to be seen in the eyes of the
cripple, mingled with the increduity
of one who had never known what it
was to walk without clutches. The
spinal injury, at seven, had left her
helpless invalid for eleven years. For
tunately the Clavering girls Elsie
and Madge-were comparatively
weH-to-do. After their parents died
they had lived with various relatives,
but year before Madge, on reaching
her majority, insisted on returning to
the old house in town, where they
had resided ever since.
Doctor Forman must have been
nearly fifty. He had an air of dis
tinction, and people learned that he
had been attached to the famous hos
pital on the heights in the metrop-
oils until his health broke down under
the strain of work. He had bought
a house in town and announced that
he meant to spend the rest of his life
there.
There was some opposition at first
on the part of the local doctors, es-
peciaIly as the newcomer won good
many of their patients away from
them. But in a few months Doctor
Forman had conquered the town.
Even his rivals united in praising him.
People began to say that Forman's
visits to the Clavering house were not
solely on Elsie's account. Madge,
who loved her sister dearly, was cas-
lily the belle of the town. The doc
tor had never married. There was an
old love affair, people whispered. |
Anyway, Madge, accustomed to the |
somewhat simple society of the lit |
tie place, was at first fiattered and
then interested by the doctors atten-
tons.

hands, 'afterward- afterward, may
dare to hope?"
Eyes," the girl whispered, and,
turning, ran into the house.
Three days later Elsie was operat-
ed on and cured. The operation
was simpler than the doctor had
dared to hope. 1t was merely a splint
of fractured bone that pressed
against the spinal cord But the
function of the nerves had to be es-
tab1lshed. and the limbs and their

The nomination of George II. Rublee
of New Hampshire to be a minority
member of the federal trade commits
sion was sent back for further inves-
tigation to the committee on interstate

er the republican leaders had protest
ed that Mr.. Rublee was not a repub-
lican. but progressive, and had no
right of appointment as minority mem
ber of the commission.
Senator Gallingcr of New Hampshire.
the republican leader, did not make the
objection, that Mr.. Rublee was person
ally Objectionable to him-a reason
frequently given by senators opposing
nominees-but told the democrats that
Mr.. Rubfee was prominently Identified
with the progressive party. He said
that his selection for the place was not
in compliance with the spirit or the
letter of the, law which calls. for mi-
nority members of the commission.
Senator Gallinger warned the demo-
Gratis that IL they made such appoint
ments they might have cause to regret
in the future having set such prece-
