created He them" And often blessing
them He told them to BE fruitful and
multiply and %replenish the earth and
subdue it.; and have dominion" etc.
You will note there is nc designation
of sex either in the duties enjoyed or
the powers conferred. Now whatever
preconceived idea may have been
handed down by ancient and uncritical
interpreters of Holy Writ this remains
clear, and it was found to be very
good"
There is nothing hat so tyranizes
over the human mind as the precon-
ceived idea-an idea we have never
questioned. mo staring fact is half
so clear, as one little p~reconceived
idea, no matter how the fact may
glow" And this is a case in point
Col. Bryan who is a scholar both
biblical and scientific, tells us in his
famous statement on the question of
sex equality that "As man and woman
are co-tenants of the earth and must
work out their destiny together, the
presumption is on the side of equality
of treatment in all that pertains to
their joint life and its opportunities.
The burden of proof is on those who
claim for one an advantage over the
other in determining the conditions
under which both shall live. This
claim has not been established in the
matter of suffrage"
For more than a century women
have been striving to prove their right
to personal freedom, to hold property,
to equal opportunity, to an education,
and lastly their equality before the
law and at the ballot box. 1t is now
up to the men to justify their usurpa-
ton of those rights if they are not
willing to do all i ntheir power to the
constitutional amendment, which
would complete the equality, so far as
opportunity goes, of the sexes. But
there is a ~weightier argument than
mere justice for granting the vote to
the women. 1t is one human need,
which is imperitive. l have yet to
hear of a recognized reform, or well
fare movement that does not claim the
need of the woman vote in %furthering
it's purposes. A live constituency is a
powerful outside conscience to officials,
be. they legislative or administrative.
And thinking women are very much
alive to the human needs expressed
Committee.

"Gradually the old guard leaders are
being forced to realize that they can
not hope to bring the progressives
back into the fold of republicanism
unless they get behind a candidate
known to be in sympathy with pro
gressiye principles.
Colonel Roosevelt openly or by in,
ference placed his seal of disapproval
on virtually all of the republican aspir-
ants with the exception of Senator
Cummins. With Cummins as the lead
ing progressive aspirant-and the pro-
gressive element of the republican
party is still evidently very much in
the ascendancy-it is not improbable
that before long the old guard will be
forced to recognize the strength of this
faction and turn to Cummins as the
best available candidate.
THAT Cummins is gaining ground in
the West and also in the East is the
I opinion expressed by J. +. Rhodes, of
Denver, a former Iowa man, who has
arrived in Washington after sounding
political sentiment in various sections.
Mr. Rhodes is an old personal friend
of Senator Cummins and enthusiastic
for him.
"In his own state OF Colorado, Mr..
Rhodes says there is strong Cummins
sentiment. 1t is the belief of Mr..
Rhodes that a large number OF the old
guard leaders, because Of anxiety to
win the election, will finally line up
for Cummins, believing he would get
more votes than Roosevelt. AS for
Hughes, Mr.. Rhodes looks for his
elimination"

CUMMiNS CAMPAIGN GIVEN I'M
PETUS

The Cummins campaign has been
given additional impetus by friends of
the senator who have decided to press
the campaign for him. Senator Kan
yon and Representative Wood have
promised to get actively in the fight
for Senator Cummins. Cummis head
quarters will be opened in Washington
within a short time.
1t is the opinion that the appoint.
ment of Mr.. Brandies to the supreme
bench has aided the Cummins move
by upsetting the Hughes movement.
They feel hat If Hughes should be
selected by the old guard Republicans
it would require his resignation from
the supreme bench and thus give Pres
ident Wilson another opportunity to
appoint another progressive. How
ever, a letter written by Justice
Hughes will set them at ease on this
point. In the letter Justice Hughes
says:
II am totally opposed to the use of
my name in connection with the nom
nation and to the selection or instruc-
ton of any delegates in my interests,
directly or remotely"
A Washington dispatch to the Sioux
Falls Press sums up the Roadway
made by Senator Cummins in the fol-
lowing manner:
I'm their extremity the old guard
republicans have been casting about
for another candidate upon whom to
center their support. Burton is sup
posed to be the second choice OF the
! standpatters.
"Burton's candidacy. however, has
not met with any marked success thus
far. lie Is not the type of mar appar-
emily who appeals to popular senti-
ment. OF all the 'favorite sons Cum.
Minis alone has made any showing.
Cummins is sure Of the Iowa delega-
ton, virtually SUR of the Minnesota
and South Dakota delegation and the
instructions of the North Dakota dele
cation. will be favorable to Cummins.

BURKE's EFFORTS APPRECIATED

Sioux Falls Press: Let this be said
for Mr.. Burke personally: We have
seen not the slightest bit of evidence
that he has sought to exert any in
huence over any legislator since this
primary debate came up, nor does the
Press believe he has tried to do so.
There is no occasion to believe that he
intends to interfere in any way with
the special session, and we believe we
He started out to harmonic party
differences, he has talked harmony in
cessantly, he has done more to en-
courage harmony than any man in his
faction, and he has in this way aided
the republican party far more than
those opponents whose differences
with him have led them into bitter
personal attacks. Whatever we may
think of the political doctrines of
Burke, it cannot be said that he is not
consistent, and as one committed to
harmony, he will, we believe, be found
working for harmony in the future.
All this in the interests of the record,
and as food for thought for those
friends of Burke's who are doing their
best to raise trouble, as we'll as those
opponents of his who are, we believe,
doing him injustice.

JUDGE PUTS SOFT PEDAL ON BIG
COIN FOR WIVES
Abandoned wives need not expect
the court of domestic relations to
give them such allowances from
hubby's salary that they may live in
elegance, at least not while Judge
Hopkins rules over this court. :
Mrs. Catherine Zuncker had
case in domestic relations court to-
day. She accused her husband, Vette
Zuncker, 220 N. Green ST., son of the
wealthy packer, Frank Zuncker, 1912
N. Kedzie ay., of abandonment and
wanteda big monthly allowance.
Catharine was 16 and Vette Is
when they welded two years ago.
They lived together but three
months. Vette took the drink cure
and they tried it again and again
separated.
Vette says he gets but $40 a week,
his wife says he gets $50. Judge
Hopkins opined 81 week should be
enough to keep her. The judge said
he was opposed to giving abandoned
wives more than what was actually
necessary for living.
Zuncker says he has had to work
from 6:15 a. m. till $50 p. m. and
would, when he came home all tired,
always find his wife wanting him to
take her out for the evening. He
says she once told him she could get
better men than he to live with.

ingredients Existing In the Soil
Should Be Utilized and Developed.
In the unusual conditions existing in
the fertilizer trade, says a statement
just issued by the secretary Of agricul
ture, it is important that all fertilizing
materials on the farm, especially those
containing potash, should be conserv-
ed. The fertilizer ingredients already
and developed to the fullest extent.
A great deal can be accomplished in
this direction by deep blowing, con
slant cultivation and thorough tillage.
There should be a proper system of
rotation. Especially where one crop
has been grown for several years a
different one should be planted this
year. Green manures and cover crops
should be used as much as possible in
their proper rotation.
OF the organic substances manure,
both solid and liquid, is the most i'm
portant and should be utilized when
ever possible. All material Of an or
ganic nature, such as leaves and bed
ding Of various sorts, should be COM
posted and the compost applied to the
SOIL Special attention should be given
also to the conservation of wood
ashes. Depending on the character of
the wood, they contain potash in guam
titles varying ordinarily from 3 to 10
per cent. All tree trimmings, brush
cuttings, etc., should be burned and
the ashes derived therefrom utilized.
The application of lime to many
soils is of undoubted benefit Though
the availability of the fertilizing ele-
ments in the soil may not be greatly
increased by it's use, the resulting i'm
provement in physical and bacterial
conditions may increase considerably
the productiveness of the soil.

A Screen Coop.

This drawing shows the plan of
chicken coop we designed and have
been using the last ten years. The
coops are made in the winter time
when the men are not busy with ether
work. They are made of twelve and
six inch soft pine boards. They are
twenty-three inches long, eighteen inch
es wide, eighteen inches high in front
and il foot high at the back. The roof
extends over the side walls about three
inches on all sides. The floors are
hinged on, as shown, and the coops are
painted inside and out. Wire screen is
put in the ends. as shown, to provide:
ventilation. The little slide door per
mits chicks to come and go. The ma
terial in each coop costs about 81. We
use the coops from year to year, as
they are cleaned out every fall and
put away in dry place during the
winter. have never yet lost a chick

smothering or through having some
animal get in.-Mrs. S. M. Gephart in
