be a crowd of wiser women if they
will listen to this trial, which will be
held Friday, Oct. %, at 2 p. m. And
it may be of incalculable value to
women interested in politics to hear
some of the workings of our judges
who are put up for us women to boost
into office, and it may be an eye
opener for those standpatters like
myself to get a jolt from the rival
judges on the ticket.
Never before have felt the crying
need of women-made laws as l have
since listening to this case, where
only slight wording in the hands of
a heartless Judge could free this man
and blight two pure, innocent lives.
They tell us women don't belong in
politics. Perhaps not, but if women
would occasionally visit the court of
domestic relations it would take more
than mere words to convince them
they were not needed there-A Big
Sister.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
A WOMAN AT THE BAR

A WOMAN AT THE BAR
She stood at the bar of justice,
A creature so wan and wild.
In looks-too young for a women,
Her figure was that. of a child.
This bit of verse 1 once learned
for speaking day" when 1 was a
child in school came surging DER my
memory when sat in Judge Hopkins
court as curious spectator last Fri
day and saw 16-year-old Margaret
Skan walk forward when the case of
Skan VS.. Tookey was called. Her
white face with her startled eyes as
she looked from her crying infant to
the court dignitaries was not the
Visage of an old offender, but rather
Innocence brought to bay"
To have heard the attorney for the
defense harangue one would have
thought it the most audacious crime
in the world that this innocent girl
should have dared sought redress
from the courts in this land of the
free and brave, and for the greatest
crime against womanhood-rap
We Big Sister representatives,
aroused by the intense situation,
moved into the jury box to listen,
which would not have been necessary
had all the people interested in the
case wished to dust out their lungs as
much as this lawyer did.
She stood there, the most pitiful
creature 1 ever witnessed, among a
crowd of men while the lawyer
shrieked quotations from the SUI
preme court on a small technacility
in the drawing up of her charges,
which would prove she had no case
whatever against this U. S. sailor who
doomed head and shoulders over her.
While we women cannot vote for
the judges, reverently thanked God
that this child's case had been placed
in a judges hands who would not be
swayed by law which would defraud

They Want a Property Owner.

There was considerable of pro-
test voiced on the street Tuesday
against the action Of the village
board in letting out w. f. Downey
as marshal and street commissioner
and some talk of a petition being
circulated, which probably would
have been pretty generally signed.
The DIRECTORS claim that Alyea is
young fellow, comparatively new,
and unknown to the people. and be-
sides has no property interest in the
town, while the man whose position
he will assume is a public-spirited
citizen of long residence and ac-
quaintance. Alyea appeared to have
two good friends on the board who
claim that the plea that Alyea has no
property will hold good against sew
eral former employees when appoint
ed, but that If he is given a position
will probably follow the example OF
the others and buy home in Merid-
ian.
Ii seems to be up to Alyea to
make good" and show those who
are not enthusiastic over his appoint
ment. that he can give the town salts
factory service. Alyea is at present
employed at the Wisner blacksmith
shop.
