Liquor Interests Fight Suffrage.

AS a matter of fact every we'll in.
formed citizen in the country knows
that the liquor interests are fighting
suffrage by every method they mag.
inc will help them get results. Every
newspaper office in the country re-
ceives frequent contributions of anti.
suffrage literature, at least portion
OF which bears all the earmarks of
having been furnished by the liquor
interests. Sincere opposition to
equal suffrage is based on fear that
the ballot will degrade women. The
fear in the case of the liquor inter-
ests is that votes for women will harm
their business They have some tang
lble evidence on which to base their
fear-Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

Congressman James w. Good of the

Congressman c. c. Dowell, seventh
district: 81 am heartily in favor Of
woman suffrage. While a member of
the state legislature Of Iowa some
years ago, supported and voted for
this amendment, when it did not have
the strong support it now has. have

the women should not vote, and | am
sure great good will come from CIV

CONGRESSMAN Gilbert N Haupen.

that women in every respect are as
competent to vote as men, | have on

equal suffrage. 1t is indeed crafty

Both Congressman Burton e. Sweet

the hope that equal suffrage will win
in Iowa, and they are strong support
ers of the cause.

throughout the Inland Empire in the
coming of Charles E. Hughes, repub-
lican candidate for president, to Spo-
kane, Sunday and Monday, August 10
and H. Chairman Charles Hebberd
of the Spokne County Republican
Central committee expects that TO-
900 people will hear Mr.. Hughes in
Spokane.
The original plan of holding the
meeting in a theater had to be given
up, as it was seen that no hall in
Spokane could accommodate one
fourth of the people who will want
to hear Governor Hughes.
The nominee and his party of a.,
including the representatives of the
National Press association and the
large eastern dailies will arrive in
Spokane over the Northern Pacific,
Sunday morning. He will be met by a
reception committee and taken to the
Davenport hotel. Sunday will be a
day of rest. 1t is expected that Mr..
and Mrs. Hughes will attend service
at a Baptist church, as they are mem
bers of that denomination.
Monday morning at o'clock, Mr..
Hughes will be taken for an auto
drive through the business district.
Immediately after this drive, the Ida
no committee will take the candidate
and his party to Occur d'Alene, where
a forenoon meeting will be held
After luncheon Mr.. Hughes will re-
turn to Spokane and address a wo-
mems meeting at the Auditorium
theater at $3.50. The party will then

rest until the evening meeting at the
stadium at 1880. The stadium has
seating capacity for $500 and stand
ing room for 10000 more within hear
ing distance of the speaker. The
Spokane committee has asked the
chairman of the county committees
and the state committeeman of eastern
Washington counties each to nomi
nate five members of the general re-
ception committee. These are asked
to call at republican headquarters in
Spokane at 612 Sprague avenue and
receive bdges.
1t is predicted that at least $4,000
people will see Mr.. Hughes in Spo-
kane, either during the occasion of
the auto drive or at the great pub
lie meeting at the Auditorium and the
stadium.
At Spokane Governor Hughes and
his party will be met by S. "A. Per-
kins of Tacoma, national committee
man; Chairman Willard T. Harrison
and Secretary James Wood of the re-
publican state central committee, and
escorted across the state. The next
stop will be in Tacoma.

A WORD TO THE CANDIDATES

This is to serve notice on the can
didates for office, and particularly
candidates for state office, that it is
a sheer waste of postage and printed
dope" to fire it at the Dispatch Of

green. We have not yet and do not
intend to give free publicity to any
candidate who is too poor or to-
stingy to pay for it, Why, in the
name Of all creation, it should be ex-
pected of the country press, is be-
You'd our comprehension. There is
not man among the lot that would
expect to be given board and lodging
free because he was willing to serve
in public capacity. IT publicity in
the country press is not worth pay
ing for it is not worth having.

STATEMENT BY THE STATE LAND
COMMISSIONER

When sought the office of COM
missioner of public lands at the gen
eral election four years ago the peo-
pie were Obliged to Judge of my fit
ness by the promises that l made, be-
cause of my being new figure in the
politics of our state. made two
distinct promises at that time which
were:
First that if elected l ould give
as economical an administration of
the office as business methods would
permit
Second, that I would endeavor to
effect an early settlement with the
government whereby the state would
receive lands in lieu of those lost
to it by reason of the creating of the
forest reserves in this state.
In coming before the people at this
time and asking them to continue me
in office for another term, realize
that the situation is different, and
that l must expect to be judged by
my past performances.
With reference to the promise made
relative to the conduct of the bust
ness affairs of the office, / simply
call attention to report made 10y a
committee by the tax payers league
of Seattle to investigate my admin
istration Of the affairs of the office,
:. in which the committee said: "He
has reduced the expenditure by $10,-
10000, while we would conservative
ly estimate that the efficiency has
been increased at least fifty per
cent?
Referring to the second promise,
call attention to the fact that an
agreement has already been made
with the federal government by which
( the state will receive half million
acres of land from the forest reserves
in settlement of it's claim, and that
men are now in the forests selecting
the lands which the state is to re-
ceive.

DOG RECOGNIZED A FRIEND
Interesting Story Of How Acquaint-
ance Between Blind Man and
Animal Began.

In the WOman's Home Companion
there recently was a story about dog
who made friends with a stranger.
The writer describes the incident in
this fashion:
"Then, his native curiosity getting
the better of him, he stood up and
cautiously approached. The man did
nothing except emit noises. Bowker
came closer and shifted tentatively at
his trOuser legs. He detected some
thing Of absorbing interest there. A
man who smells of dog is to be neither
feared nor hated.
"Bowker lifted his nose and shifted
higher. Then, very gently, he raised
himself on his hind legs and placed
his forepaws on Antony's knee, look
Ing up inquiringly into the blind eyes.
THE rumbling died out in Antony's
throat. Slowly he raised a groninq
hand and rested it for a moment on
the dogs paws. A little moist tongue
came out and touched it. Antony's
hand sought the hard little head and
then Travelled slowly, hesitatingly down
the shaggy neck.
"Bowker gave a quick spring and
landed on Antony's knees, shifting ea-
geriy at his vest. Then, with discon-
certing suddenness, he lifted his pert
little head and caught Antony under
the fat chin with his cold, bewhiskered
nose. Antony drew back his head with
a grunt that was almost chuckle, and
Bowker boldly stood up with his paws
on Antony's shoulder and shifted at
his ear"

Why They Had No Pickles.

Rations in the southern navy were
mighty scarce in 1864. Coffee and
hardtack were the mainstays of Off
GERS and crews. The officers of
small gunboat discovered some un-
guarded federal stores and started to
appropriate them. They succeeded
only in getting large bottle of pickles,
when they were attacked by Union
troops. They ran to their small boat,
and made the gunbOat in safety. All
that afternoon the officers thought of
these pickles, and how good they
would taste at evening mess. The
mess steward was black field hand,
who knew little about anything but
"cOhn pOne." When the mess was an
nOunced that night all hands troOped
below in eager anticipation. The mess
table held only coffee and hardtack
no pickles in sight. The lieutenant
in command said to the steward:
''LOOk here, Culpeper, what did you
do with those pickles? Why are they
not on the tableT' "Pickrs? Picks?
Ah dom know muffin bout no pickIs,
suh." ''Yes, you do. Don't you know
those small cucumbers in the glass jar
that we got from the Yanks?" "Oh,

Student Government Works Fine at
Delaware and is Highly Pleasing to
College Faculty and Trustees
AS a result of a vote taken last
Wednesday morning an amendment
to the constitution of the Student
Government Association providing for
an honor system applying to all stu
dents was passed by the student body,
and only awaits the ratification of the
faculty to become effective. The
amendment provides that all examina-
tions and tests shall be conducted
under the honor system, every student
pledging himself neither to give nor
to receive aid, and to report viola
tion of honor of which he is witness
The Student Council, composed of
leading members of each class will
have jurisdiction over all cases that
raise under the new rules. The first
step toward the adoption of an honor
system was taken last year. when two
thiI DIS of the student body petitioned
the faculty. and, upon signing the
honor pledge, were permitted to take
separate examinations under their
own direction and oversight. The
vote this year shows that the percent
age of students desiring the system
has jumped to II percent. and seems
to indicate that sentiment is ripe for
the adoption of a system to apply to
all students and to all forms of exami-
nation.
