The Man on s. a Day.

| Topeka Capital: Yesterday a man
about IS years old inquired for the
land office. He remarked that he
came to make inquiries as to taking
| up claim in some western country,
which 1t was his intention to do. In
reply to questions he explained that
he came from Ottawa, where he had
been working in railroad shops at 50
a day.
A big, stalwart, wholesome man
with the muscular developm of a
blacksmith, he enjoys perfect health,
| yet had to confess that he could not
support his family Of wife and two
or three small children decently on
his earnings. An intelligent as we'll
as physically robust young fellow he
was, and of good habits; he said so,
and looked the part, and his intel
ligence in fact was shown by the
fact that finding So a day made
lquate, in place of responding and
accepting his fate, he proceeded to
conceive another idea, and put 1t
into effect. The open country, he
stated, is the best place in which to
rear children anyhow. He himself
was born and bred on farm, and
knew the game. He believed me
could win out if he could get his
hands on piece of land. He had
enough money to buy COW or two
and necessary farm implements.
"Your wages are about $4,000 a
month the man to whom he spoke
asked him. They were, provided the
shops were not on short time. Or
dinarily $500 a day is not $50 a
month, much less is it $3.50 year.
In arithmetic it is, but not the shops.
With fairly good luck 81 day is
5000 a year. Too little, this man
thought, after making a try at It,,
with the deadly advance in cost or
living, on which to bring UP an
American family In QeceHcy.
What is society going to do about
this man? Is this merely his prob
lem? So for ages society supposed,
but no longer believes anything OF
the kind. mo man liveth to himself
alone" was never so true as in So
ciety whose complexity is increasing
with every generation. The PROPOSE
tion that 50 day is not enough to
bring up an American family in de-
cency is every mans problem and
society's problem. Society is begin
ming to grapple with it or at least to
walk around it and look it over with
interest

LONDON PUBLIC PARKS
FOR POULTRY FARMS
e.- VT .SYE e.

London, May 26.-With eggs at
seven cents each, Mrs. Lionel Guest,
daughter of the late John Bigelow,
American Ambassador to Paris, is
urging plan here today to turn
lLondon's public parks into poultry
farms. An enthusiast on poultry
breeding, Mrs. Guest has started a
crusade to give the hen a chance.
She is telling the authorities that
every public park should have its
chicken farm with a woman expert
In charge to show the public how to
get the best out of biddy.
/ Green park and st. James park,
near Buckingham palace; Hyde park
and other expanses Of public green's
ward have been selected by the
American woman as the best Local
tions upon which to try the poultry
experiments. Mrs. Guest declares
she has proved her theories by sue
cessful poultry farming in Canada
and emphasizes that British hens are
equal to the task of providing suf-
flcient eggs if enough people would
become interested in hen culture.
She has expressed her willingness to
keep poultry within the yards Of her
own house near the fashionable Mar
bic Arch district, police regulations
permitting.

Is an Evolution.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: The suf-
frage issue which is to be submitted
to- the voters of Iowa on June 5, is a
question which is not a mushroom
growth, but rather is one that has
taken years to develop.
That it is no mere passing idiosyn-
Grassy is easily proven by survey of
the territory where it is even now in
operation. There are twelve states
of the U. S. wherein women vote. In
England the women have equal suf-
frage in oil local and municipal af-
fairs. Their constitution is for Par
Elementary suffrage also. In this
same country manhood suffrage has
had a struggling development. In
1880 it almost wrecked the kingdom
to extend the franchise to all 10
pound house holders. The ministry
resigned and the king finally had to
sign that memorable slip of paper
which is in the British museum to-
day, giving Earl Grey the right to
create enough new peers to pass this
bill, extending even so limited a
franchise to men. Way F.
Hence II is a development, indeed,
for both manhood and womanhood
suffrage that we see in England, to-
day. Her colonies have been gener-
Gus with the ballot to women, for in
Australia, New Zealand, Manitoba,
Alberta, and Saskatchewan there is
full equal suffrage, and partial suf-
frage in Others NJ
Norway, some years ago, gave Suf-
frage with a limited property quail
fcation to her women, but on Oct.
II, 1915, this was removed, and now
all the Norwegian women can vote
on an equal basis with men.
In Denmark, by their recent con-
stitution, the franchise is extended
to women anu the property qualifi-
cation is abolished. They may vote
for members of both houses of the
Legislature, but are not eligible to
membership. af
Just a few years ago, Belgium
abolished plural votes, granted to
wealth, and gave full manhood suf-
frage. When we pause to think that
manhood suffrage has been so severe
ly hampered in these European coun-
tries, we feel that equal suffrage has
indeed a showing there.
1t is freely predicted that after
the war the women of every Euro
pean nation will be fully enfran-
chised by reason OF their efficient
services to the governments in this
time of terrible stress.
In our own state, the leaders OF
both political parties loom up so
prominently in favor of equal suf-
frage for women, that it is very evil

and Kenyan, majority of the state
