SUPREME COURT DECISION GIVES
STRONG ENDORSEMENT OF SUFFRAGE

The majority opinion of the court,
written by Justice Byron w. Preston
of 0skaloosa, and fully concurred in
by three other members Of the court,
said in part:
%" We may well keep in view
the progress of our state legislation
for many years toward the complete
emancipation OF woman from the dis
abilities and determinations formerly
imposed upon her by the law until
now the constitutional restrictions
which denies her entire equality at
the polls is practically the last sur
viving badge of her supposed inferior
ity in personal, civil and civic rights.
While the presence of women
at the polls is an innovation which all
do not view with equal equanimity or
satisfaction, yet to my mind it is diff
cult to imagine any good reason why
she, who is mans equal in other
rights Of person and property, and has
no less interest than he in good gov
eminent and social order, should not
equally with him make her voice heard
and her influence felt at the ballot
box, where questions affecting the
common good are put to their final
test. When that time arrives, and
equality in fact as well as in name is
accomplished, may we not confidently
expect an advanced standard of good
citizenship and a more truly repub-
lican form of government"

diers and sailors of this city, has been
growing rapidly in numbers and fame,
and now a second Iowa city is scour-

working hard to secure more names

Nelson, Snyder and Private Wend-

to the Bell Cows" at Ottumwa and
became so enthused with the order.
that they have been working and plan
ming for the formation of an order in
Burlington. .
The primary idea of the Bell Cow
order is loyalty and love for the coun-
try and flag and constant boosting for
the national guard. Founded on the
feat of Captain Rowan, the messenger
appointed by President Mckinley to
make his way through the Cuban
swamps and jungles and Garry a
message to Garcia" the ritual is deep,
mysterious and inspiring.
To become a member of the Bell
Cows order, one must have an honor
able discharge from the navy or army
after one enlistment. In the case of
national guardsmen, the state soldier
must have served an enlistment and
be on his second stretch OF service.

We also notice that Mr.. Capitalists
pile has, in the meantime, grown
twice or three times as large. And
all this time he has been enjoying
himself at Palm Beach, having a fine,
easy time Of it. But we are game and
make no whimper When one of US
declares the game to be crooked and
the cards stacked and demands
new deal, we ostracize him on the
spot. We know the trouble lies with
us and not with the game. Some
thing is lacking in our makeup and
we must find out what it is. Per-
haps we need some culture. Prof.
Veblen has been watching us and
this is what he says about us:
''The pecuniaTily DISTINGUISHED
business population, in it's reVulsfon
against Unassimilated facts, turns
rather" Gnstead of to socialism) ito
some excursions into pragmatic ro-
mances, such as social settlements,
prohibition, clean politics, single tax,
arts and crafts, neighborhoOd guilds,
new thought, institutional church or
some such cultural thimble-rig."
Some of us attend meetings where
we are taught all about the signifi-
canoe of the bumps on our heads.
Others of US go and hear some gen
tleman knock the stufing out of the
bible. Others take lots of stock in
Moses and the bullrushers" and get
all worked up over it, like Huck Finn
didn't.
We get cit up" on cults and isms
to an extent, that beside US, a hop
fiend looks like a piker. But one
thing we won't do and that is, crit
icize capitalism - for we are dead
game sports. - Clarence Ellsworth,

And that is why the capitalistic class
is trying so hard to defeat the union
man. He wants to drive you from
daybreak until day close, that he
may get every drop of blood in your

OUR TEACHINGS.-We common
people have always been told to hold
as sacred the present order of
things; told that it is a kind Of game
in which we are all engaged, each
one of us having an equal chance to
win sooner or later; told that there
is no reason why every one of us
cannot become great capitalists, as
all we have to do to gain this pima.
Gle is to work hard, be efficient and
not want very much in return for our
services; told that, above all things,
we should never complain, but watch
for an opportunity to jump upon
somebody's back and ride.
We are also instructed to give
much credit to Mr.. Capitalist for get
ting his pile, because he has the
brains and had to get his start and
is now doing us favor by licking all
the cream off our milk; otherwise
we wouldn't have any milk. And no
matter how hard he squeezes us we
must not protest, but, instead, be
dead-game sports and think of how
we will squeeze and skin other peo-
pie when we get there.
Thoroughly saturated with this
doctrine, we start out to win fame
and fortune.
We toll, worry, scheme and sweat
day after day. In few years we
find we haven't anything to show
for our trouble but corns on our
hands and varicose veins on our legs.
