GOVERNOR ANXIOUS
ABOUT MEMS VOTE
BURNQUIST SENDS TELECRAMS
OF INQUIRY TO MEMBERS OF
LEGISLATURE.
SEEKS PUBLIC SENTIMENT ON
PLAN OF GIVING TROOPS
AVOTE.

Governor j. A. A. Burnquist yesterday
Z /ent members of the legislature tele-
f'ssgrams asking them in regard to the SEN
timent in their respective districts rela-
tive to a special session to act on a
measure allowing the boys on the Mexi-
can border the right to vote. Repre-
sentative Alfred w. Mueller received the
following message from the Governor:
what is special session sentiment in
your district? Do you favor such ses-
sion?"
Mr.. Mueller wired in reply:
Especial session discussed very little
here. Personally l am in favor of
giving boys at front an opportunity to
cast their vote.'
Governor Burnquist is expected to
reach a decision not later than this
Wednesday, morning.
President G.. A. Ottomeyer of the
New Ulm Commercial Club has refused
to call meeting of the club for the pur-
/ pose of urging Governor Burnquist to
Ssummon the state legislature in special
session to enact law enabling the SOL
diers at the Mexican border the right
to vote. Requests have come from
Twin City commercial bodies requesting
such action. Mr.. Ottomeyer, however,
did not ignore the request until he had
discussed the question with other officers
and members of the club. He found
there was no demand for such action
and let it drop.
81 have no wish to deprive our boys
in Texas of the right to cast their ballots,
if they so DESIRE" said Mr.. Ottomeyer,
kat as understand it none of them have
raaGe any such request, and if they don't
care why should the state go to the
great expense of calling the lawmakers
together just to please the Twin Cities
and lot of politicians. They seem
to be about the only ones interested"
Governor Burnquist is quoted as
having said that he would be willing to
call special session if there had been
a demand from the soldiers themselves
but as long as they were not seeking this
Special legislation he could not see no
Y use of forcing it upon them.
At the time when the Civic and Com
merce Association of Minneapolis was
making it's last stand toward calling the

PLAYS BRIEF SEASON
IN CITIES
IL TROVOTORE AND CARMEN
DELIGHT ENTHUSIASTIC @=
AUDIENCES
Especial to the Review

Only two operas, Carmen and II
Trovatore, were given to the music
loving public of the Northwest by the
transitory Ellis Opera Company at the
St. Paul Auditorium last Friday and
Saturday night, but in these two the
public had an opportunity of hearing
by far the finest musical talent in the
country. 1t was rare opportunity OF
hearing the worlds most wonderful
voices, made so familiar to all Through
the medium of canned music, and the
fact that for both performances, every
seat in the house from the last row
suspended midway between heaven and
earth, "only little lower than the
angels, downto the 500. box tenanted
by the ''6rst of the four hundred was
sold out week before the night of the
performance shows that the dear public
really does appreciate good music.
It was "highbrow stuff, in the class Of
"Bawstonian culchuh" and Ibsenian
drama, but every victim from those
who saved their pennies for the last seat
in the last row down to those who
walked into Sc. comps, left with their
hearts full of thanks for Mr.. C. A. Ellis
of Boston, and an inspiration that will
last for some time to come.
Friday was Carmen night. Geraldine
Farrar was most captivating repre-
sentation of Bizet's cigaret girl, although
to the scoop artist of The Review the
makeup of her voice was slight dis
appointment. It was clever, without a
doubt, colored and darkened to suit
the character of the warm-hearted
temperamental southern Spanish beauty,
but for one accustomed to the rich
purity of Farrar's voice it was hard to
believe that this voice came from the
same throat. Helen Stanley, as Micaela
won the hearts of the hearers with he1
sincere Interpretation of the beautiful
Micaela music. Her voice is clear and
pure and sweet, and exactly suited tc
her role. Alma Peterson, the talented

the ease and grace with which she sang
this delightful music left no doubt of the
reason for her universal popularity.

BANKERS GIVEN WARMING.

C. D. Brown, secretary of the pro-
tective department of the Minnesota
Bankers Association, has sent out a
warning to all bankers in the state, ap-
prising them of the presence of pro-
fessional bank robbers in this part of the
country. The action was taken follow
ing the robbing of a bank at Millville,
North Dakota, and another at Eckman,
in the same state, and an attempt to
enter similar institution at Dresser
Junction, Wis. all within the past ten
days. At Millville the robbers secured
So, 500 and $500 at Eckman. The build
ing at Dresser Junction was entered but
the thieves were evidently frightened
away without securing any booty. In
his circular letter to the banks, Mr..
Brown says:
eve are expecting bank robberies,
both burglaries and holdups, at this time
of the year. We want Minnesota bank
ers to take every precaution. Various
police officers are asked to assist. We
haven't had description of this last set
Of burglars. Minnesota banks have
escaped them so far

SLEEPY EYE STORE
ROBBERS CAPTURED
SHERIFF BRINGS BOYS FROM
ILLINOIS FOR SLEEPY EYE
THEFT
SAY THEY WILL PLEAD GUILTY
AND TAKE THEIR SENTENCE
AT ONCE.

Sheriff William J. julius went to
Rockford, ILL.,, Thursday night and re-
turned Saturday with two of the men
accused of robbing Glotzbach & Clau-
sens store at Sleepy Eye on the night
of October IA. They are Clifford Henry,
aged 10, and Robert Lotus, %, both
OF whom reside at Rockford, Illionois.
Willing to Return.
Sheriff Julius had received informa-
ton that the two young men were under
arrest and had confessed to the police
that they had assisted in the robbery.
They were willing to come to Minnesota
without requisition papers.
The Sleepy Eye store had been robbed
of about $3.50 worth of merchandise in
a most unusual manner and the sheriff
feels that this county has been exceeding
ly fortunate in rounding up the thieves
at so little cost to the tax payers. There
is, however, a third man involved in the
Sleepy Eye robbery who has not yet
been caught, according to the prisoners
brought from Rockford and now in the
county Jail, waiting to be arraigned in
district court.
The two young men were arraigned
before justice Of the peace in Sleepy
Eye Monday afternoon, waived examina-
ton and grand jury action, and ex-
pressed their intention of pleading guilty
in district court and receiving sentence
at once.
Bore Good Reputation.
1t is said at Rockford the boys have
heretofore borne a good reputation. It
appears that some months ago thew
joined an amusement company and have
been playing at street fairs and kindred
affairs during the summer, and were
with their company at Sleepy Eye during
the inter-county fair there a couple of
weeks ago. 1t was while there, they
told the officer that they were induced
to take hand in the robbery, receiving
for their share only each suit of clothes
and a pair Of shoes.
The story of the robbery as told by the
Sleepy Eye merchants is as follows:
On the afternoon proceeding the rob-
berry two strangers entered the store and
purchased quantity of clothing and
other merchandise, which they left,
with the statement that they would re-
turn for them later, it being understood
that they would pay for their purchases
at that time. They failed to show up
that day, however, and the goods were
left where they had been placed follow
ing the sale. When opening the store
the following morning it was discovered
that the entire outfit, along with other

OWL ORGANIZER is SLICK

An alleged organizer of the Order of
Owls, a fraternal organization, is said
to be pulling off some very slick stunts
in some of the Southern Minnesota
towns. He was at Waterville and Mont
gomery recently, where he flched num-
erous SIS bills from the "easy" ones.
He is also alleged to have left numerous
unpaid bills at both places. Look out
for him.

cordial and hearty support of the
business men and merchants of Macon
generally.
Very often there are towns where
the merchants think there are too
many newspapers, and because they
can't advertise in all of them they
won't advertise in any. The time is
passed when a man can secure adver-
tising simply because he is a good
fellow or on the grounds Of charity;
he must deliver the goods. Advertis-
ing is a business, like banking or
merchandising. Space is sold just as
merchandise and if the price is right,
the merchant buys it and makes
money. If he finds your space profit
able he will continue to use more and
more with most satisfactory results.
The Macon papers should now pros
per, the merchants get splendid SER
vice. There is only one thing for
merchant to do, who can't patronize
all the papers--use the one that
brings him the best results. A man
buys his merchandise where he gets
the best goods for the money; an ad-
vertiser buys space where he gets
the best results for the money.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

When the Davis-Mitchel Shoe Co,
opened their doors for business Mon
day morning with their big clearing
sale it was but a few minutes until
the increased force was unable to at
tend to the many anxious customers.
This too in the face Of weather below
zero.
The firm is making exceptionally
attractive pirces which in view Of the
increased prices for shoes that is
coming makes the event a most in
teresting one to the buyer who wishes
to make his or her money go the far
thest. This is another proof Of the
efficacy Of advertising.
Tuesday saw similar conditions.
The prices were most attractive and
the goods Of high class.

THE UNITED STATES SEN
ATE AND EQUAL SuFFRA


REFERRING to the action of the
United States Senate regarding wo-
mans suffrage, Colonel Reedy in his
st. Louis Mirror says:
"a United States Senate committee,
By big majority, reports in favor of
woman suffrage. 1t is big breach
in the wall Of political conservatism.
There is nothing against woman suff-
rage but an unreasoning prejudice
Government bears on human beings.
Women are human beings. They
should participate in government. If
no man has right to govern another
without that others consent, no man
has a right SO TO govern women. If
men govern women they must do SO
BY force, by denial Of woman's rights
as human being. What women may
do with the ballot is not the question.
How man votes is made no test Of
his right to vote. If voting is not a
right but a privilege to be won by
desert, then there is no question that
women have won the privilege by in
telligence, industry, energy, char
acter. There's no stopping the woman
suffrage movement. 1t will triumph.
And when women vote there is no
reason to believe they will only in
crease the ignorant vote. Where they
do vote they vote as right as do the
men. The woman suffrage States are
at least as well governed as the man
suffrage States. Woman makes good
in letters, art, medicine, law, divinity,
engineering, astronomy, every de-
partment of effort she has invaded
She has made good in politics even as
an anti-suffragit. Women will vote in
every State in the Union within ten
years."
