Iowa Farm Editors Ask

In a state such as Iowa, where
the interests are largely agricultural
the farm publications WELD bis
influence and their editorial columns
not only reflect public opinion but dc
much to mould it. 1t is significant
that the editors Of the state are
staunch supporters of equal suffrage
Some idea of the loyal support
which these editors are giving the
cause of equal suffrage may be gain
ed from the following editorials:
when Abraham Lincoln spoke of
q government of the people, for the
people, and by the people, he put in
the fewest possible words all that
we can think of as desirable in
government. / do not see how we
can have a government Of the peo-
pie, for the people, or by the people
until our women have an equal voice
with men. They share with us to
the full in everything except the bal
lot. They should share with us in
that not alone because it is just and
right that they should, but because
they are fully as competent as men
to use that ballot wisely. Henry

THE SCOTT-OBREGON CONFER
ENCE WILL BE HELD THERE
OR AT JUAREZ.
MAY OPEN MONDAY
The Conference for Discussion of
American Expedition in Mexico
PrObaly Last Several Days.
Meet on Common Basis.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 27-The
Scott-Obregon conference regarding
the future of the American expedi-
tion will be held either in El Paso
or Juarez. probably opening Mon
day, it was learned today from an
official source.
Indications are that the two sides
will come to consider common views.
The United States military chief will
seek a final solution of all of Villas
and border raid problems as well
as to safeguard the Americans in
Mexico, while Carranza War Minis
ter Obregon will make demands for
the withdrawal of the troops. The
conference will probably last several
days. The selection of meeting
place awaits Obregon's arrival. Fort
Bliss, big room in an Ell Paso
hotel or the Juarez military head
quarters have been suggested.
Officials pointed out that the con-
ference will have common basis
for agreement, the desire of both
sides to be rid of Villa as quickly as
possible. Obregon is expected, to
claim that the 35, 900 troops now in
northern Mexico are capable OF
handling the problem without the
aid of American troops. Their pres
ence in Mexico may result in clashes
with citizens or Carranza soldiers, II
will be pointed out by Obregon.
Scott is expected to seek an ar
rangement by which the Americans
and Carranzistas could more effec-
lively cooperate with a common op-
ject, the capture of Villa and the
extermina Eon of his band.
