ACHIEVED A VICTORY


 Tarbell, through the pertinent fact that they did not follow the advice of their leaders In other words, the American woman VoAer thought for herself at the recent election, and that is healthy sign. The leaders of the suffragists la bored for the election of MT. Hughes, and it is a very good thing for the cause of suffrage that they failed to deliver the votes of the women in body to the re- publicans
 AS a general thing the women will vote practically as the men. Of course, where liquor is concerned it is quite safe to believe that women will vote for the cause of prohibition, although in Cali fornia at the last election they did not. But California is an exception.
 Tn California, which is a great wine manufacturing center, the women voted to protect their property interests. In that respect the women do not differ from the men. They will vote to protect their incomes regardless of the issue However, as a general thing it will be found that the women will vote against liquor whenever the opportunity offers, or for any other moral issue that is pre- sented.
 AS to the result of the recent cleo ton, I can state that I was very well pleased. President Wilson has some very sane pOiECleS. lie IS iOI peIISCL pS ally means, but he is the best that we have, and he is the safest man to have elected at this time"
 Nils Tarbell was then asked regarding the labor problems that are looming up on the horizon.
 Tt would have been much better" said Miss Tarbell, eff the railroad man. agers had decided to give the Adamson eight-hour law a fair trial. It is re- gretable. of course, but state of war practically exists between the brother hoods and the railroads and this state of affairs must of a necessity mean inter vention by the government on behalf of inc public

Life on the Palestinian Colonies" the ancient land of milk and honey" for centuries laid waste and trampled over by Bedouins. but recently became again the home of the thousands of independent colonists and a garden of roses, will be fully described in an address by P.

 | 'I believe that compulsory investi- gation into the railroad problems will re- veal such mismana cement on the part ol the railroads that by installing a system | of efficiency, all classes of labor can work
 eight hours without additional cost to the
 railroads. The railroads are wasting
 millions yearly. They should allow them
 selves to be shown how to do the right
 thing"
 | Are you interested in the high cost

 "Oh, intimately so," replied Miss Tar l bell. with smile. Tn travelling, one | finds the prices always on an upward trend. The high cost of living is one of our most serious problems.
 "Of course the proper steps of federal investigation are now being taken. Under the Wilson administration men who have conspired in restraint of trade to such an extent that men, women and children would starve for lack of funds to pur- chase food will be dealt with in severe manner. In fact, all cornering of food products should be made a criminal of fense. It is not right that one man or a
 group of men should be able to control the prices of our foods
 HAVE LOST IDEAL Men who enter into such conspira cies have lost their ideal of the meaning of
 citizenship They have forgotten their responsibilities to the public. To them living is merely existing for the selfish pleasure of making money. They buy millions of dozens of eggs at low price and hoard them until they can sell them at an exorbitant figure. Men who dc such things are blind and callous to human needs and the necessary steps should be taken to deprive them of their l harmful sphere of influence'

 do not look for any early close of the
 European war.
 | Personally, I am intensely pro-ally And I firmly believe that the allies wil eventually conquer the Teutons, as civil | ization demands that German savagery
