BETWEEN CITIES
FARMERS BETWEEN SIOUX CITY
AND SIOUX FALLS HAVE A
PLAN ON FOOT.

Sioux City, Nov. a. Farmers along
the main highway leading from Sioux
City to Sioux Falls, S. D., are urging
an early move looking toward the paw
ing of that highway.
Already a plan to pave from Sioux
City to Jefferson as an extension Of
the work already done this summer on
the military road. is taking definite
form and work on this project will be-
gin next spring. Farmers beyond JEFF
ferson see no reason why they should
not have paving also and sufficient as
surance has already been received to
call for a meeting which is to be held
some time this month at a town about
midway between the cities.
Highway paving is coming into high
favor here, since Sioux City has COM
pleted forty-four miles of concrete paw
ing within the city, and three more
highways leading into the city will be
paved out distance of from three to
five miles early next summer.

WHAT CHEER MAN

PLEADS GUILTY TO SELLING
LloUoR-oTHER CASES BE.
FORE JUDGE snWoLp.

Sisourney, Nov. 4.-Judge Henry
S1lWold has taken up the criminal
docket in the district court, only two
cases being assigned for trial. The
case of the state of Iowa VS.. George
Mohr, who was indicted for a statu-
tory crime, was dismissed by the coun-
ty attorney for reasons placed on file.
The case of the state of Iowa VS.. Jas.
Danner was then called. In this case
the defendant was charged with the
Illegal sales of intoxicating LIQUORS at
What Cheer, but Just as the jury was
about to be empaneled the defendant
Withdrew his plea Of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to the charge The
court assessed a fine of 5000 and COSTS
On the civil docket the first case
to so to trial was Cora BartIes vs.. e.
G. Eye. In this case the plaintiff sued
on a promissory note for $1,000. The
defendant claimed in his answer pay
ment Of $500 on the note. The testi-
mOny was completed on Tuesday even
ing and the jury retired for their de-
alterations and after an all nights
session the jury returned verdict on
Wednesday for the plaintiff in the full
amount of the note.
On Wednesday morning jury was
selected in the case Of A. w. Millikin
VS.. Security Fire Insurance Co, Of
Davenport. This was an action on q
fire insurance policy in which the
plaintiff claimed damages In the sum
Of 5000 on account Of damages done to
a silo sometime last summer by light
ming. The defendant company is re-
sisting the payment Of the damages
on the ground that the damages were
done by wind storm and as the plain
tiff's policy did not cover damages by
wind storm the defendant company
claims they are not liable. The case
was parity tried when 1t was discover
ed that there was an error in the
policy sued on and the plaintiff dis
missed his action without prejudice
and it is likely that a new action will
be instituted.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Though overwhelmingly defeated in
the eastern states Tuesday, the advo-
catestof woman suffrage are far from
discouraged over the result The
leaders promise to make renewed eff
forts and to begin at once the work
for again getting the matter before
the voters. Their ardor for the work
seems undiminished.
Regardless of whether equal suf-
frage Is good or bad, desirable or
otherwise, it does not require a great
deal Of political perception to see that
In the. end, the ballot will be placed
In the hands of the women. Equal
suffrage is far from being new idea
but 1t Is only in recent years that
there has developed anything like a
general demand for it from the women
themselves. In those few years suf-
frage has been granted many thou
sands OF the weaker sex and every
election sees them nearer their de-
sired goal in those states which have
not yet granted them the rights that
they. or faction of them, demand.
Equal suffrage is like national
temperance-coming A few years
back there were many who scoffed at
the idea that whole states would go
dry and few who dreamed of national
prohibition. Yet whole states have
gone 'dry" and national prohibition
has been considered in congress. Now
even the liquor interests foresee the
day when national prohibition will be
a reality and the wise ones are look
ing ahead and preparing for that time.
And SO with suffrage. Good or bad,
ts beside the question. The fact is
that equal suffrage is coming-the day
IS not far distant when the women OF
the nation will be able to cast their
ballot with the men.

Lenox, Nov. 4. Quite a novel ex-

night of Halloween by the mayor of
the town in the matter of furnishing
an adequate police force to cope with
the boys. All of the Boy Scouts in the
high school were sworn in as special
cops and armed with flash lights,
they were given regular beats to cover.
They covered these beats in pairs to
avoid any annoyance from the larger
boys. AS result of the experiment
one arrest was made and practically

AFRAID OF MoRETAxEs.

Detroit voters handed reDuke 10
munfcipa, ownership advocates at the
election held there Tuesday to vote on
the proposition Of purchasing the
citys street railway system The
largest vote in the history Of the city
was porled and the affirmative side
was decisively beaten. The company
has had a hard row to hoe during the
past few years as the city declined to
renew the franchise while demanding
lower than five cent fare. The result
has been that the company has sold
transportation tickets at seven and
even eight for quarter and has been
40 hard up for money that necessary
improvements could not be made. The
advocates of the municipal ownership
ALAN tempted the voters with promises
OF better service at lower cost. But
the ypters decided that If a private
corporation could not reduce the fare,
city ownership would not only fail to
do Il. but might even result inehigher
taxes to meet the deficits that gener-
ally result of municipal management.

tinued competition with Japanese and
British steamships, that had "coolie
labor" and subsidies besides.
Chinese labOrers are excluded from
the United States. They are not al
lowed to come here to work in our
own shops, mills and factories. But
these shops, mills and factories that
are thus deprived of this very cheap
and vet efficient labor are not COM
PEELED to compete under free trade
conditions with similar establishments
in foreign lands that do have this
"coolie labor or it's equivalent. The
American tariff forbids such competi-
ton and requires license in the form
Of duty before the product of cheap
States.
But the LaFollette law forbids
American ships to employ Chinese or
Lascars Thy STIMULATING that at least
Is per cent of the crew Of ship in
every department must understand
the language of the otficers) and at
the same time allows Japanese ships
to come into San Francisco and Pudget
Sound manned throughout with Jap
anese "coolie labor" These Japanese
ships are permitted to compete with
American ships on even terms for the
carrying of freight and passengers to
Japan, China and the Philippines.
There is no tariff in this case-no pre-
ference or protection whatever for the
American ship and the American flag
in the overseas commerce of our cOun-
try.
The men who framed the LaFollette
law knew all this; they knew what
they were doing They knew that
they were binding American ship
owners hand and foot and compelling
them thus bound to run a race with
the Japanese or the British or any
other foreigners. Andrew Furuseth,
the head of the international sailors
union, who wrote the law, knew this
as well as he knew his own name
that the enactment of this measure,
without some compensation for the
higher cost Of American crews, would
sweep the American flag of the
greatest trade routes of the Pacific
ocean Senator LaFollette knew it,
and President Wilson knew it-they
had been frankly and formally warned
by responsible steamship men and the
most representative merchants Of the
Pacific seaboard.
But President Wilson, Senator La
Toilette and Mr.. Furuseth simply did
not care They were bound to have
that legislation anyway-it had been
promised as the price of political sup
port in the campaign Of 1912. SO re-
CARELESS Of the certain consequences
the bill was forced through congress
and signed by the executive. Every
thing that was foretold has happened
and the end is not yet. But the
American people are going to have a
chance to say something emphatic to
the men who did not care" for the
