the growth Of the woman suffrage
movement and have helped in the
campaigns in many of the states. The
enemies of woman suffrage have new
err hesitated to charge up every evil
in Colorado to the fact that women
vote, and the women of our state
have been subjected to much unjust
criticism on this account. The in
justice Of this is at once apparent
when one considers that the number
of men in the state is greater than the
number Of women. No one can ever
convince me that the women of Col
orado have not shown themselves as
capable as the men in exercising in
diligently the privileges of the vot-
ing franchise, and have never
known an instance where the exercise
of such franchise has In the remotest
way tended to injure the home or
cause woman to lose any Of her
womanly characteristics. The argyll
merts, or supposed arguments which
are advanced by the enemies of the
movement are very amusing to us
who have witnessed so many years

--Earl Hull. the Waterloo young
man who is being held in Quincy,
charged with the theft of an automo-
bile, was sought in Keokuk recently.
He seems to have been mixed up
considerable with Keokuk according
to the following story from the Quin-
cy Herald yesterday: Earl Hull is
confident he will get out of the
trouble in Clinton, Iowa, as the sher
if of that county is expected to ar
rive to take him back. A relative of
Ruby Frazier, the Keokuk girl,
whom Hull had made arrangements
to meet Monday night, told the police
the girl was here Sunday, and be
1ieved she was in company with
Hull. This has not been proven. She
and her sister came here on the eX
cursion and probably returned on the
boat. In Waterloo, where Hull was
employed by the gas company, he
left his wages of three weeks. This
gave. the police in Iowa their first
clue that he might have stolen the
automobile. Search in Keokuk, Iowa,
by postoff1ce inspectors failed TO To-
cate any stolen property in Hulls
belongings.

assembly and yell practice was held.
Art Lofts succeeded in putting the
vim into the rooters by leading in the
yells in a way that even our old friend,
John Allen, could hardly excel.
Literary was held on Wednesday
evening at the high school.
One of the most unique rallies that
has ever been conducted was the one
advertising the Washougal foot ball
game. Floyd Wright as Woodrow Will
son and Kenneth Copple as Uncle Sam
were among the features.
Copies of the rev foot ball song
which was composed by Sidney Car
nine are being circulated among the
students. All members of the high
school are requested to 60 to bed say
ing ii, wake up singing it. and think
it all day. and perhaps we will wallop
Goldendale after all.
Among the names being considered
for the new high school athletic field
are. "Gibson Field" Gettysburg. "
ind many other names which recall
battles of some description.
