Over Million
Making Arms
In Germany

PARIS, March 25.-Germany now
las 100000 men making munitions,
according to Senator Charles Hum
bert, in an article in the Journal, in
which he says: 'Krupps employed A.
coo hands at Essen before the war.
This figure now reaches $4,000 but
Essen is only the principal factory. At
other works the number of workers
has risen from 5000 to $4,000; from
$4,000 to 10000; from 5000 to 3d.
OC0; from 5000 to $4,000; while the
Bochum and Gelsenkirchern works now
employ $4,000 hands, instead of 10000
in time of peace.
There also exist in Germany two
other enterprises exclusively devoted
to the making of artillery, namely
Thyssens, which employ 5000 men, and
the Ehradt works, which employ 100,-
600, instead of 10000 and 10000 for.
merly.
Thus over $4,000 men on the other
side Of the Rhine are turning out war
material, without counting the innum-
cradle necessary workshops employ
ing more than double that number in
shells, explosives and asphyxiating
gas-or total of over 100000 men
employed in various war industries,
without including men who work in
thu factories for the production of
law material"

frage Association of Holland, the
present composition of society offers
no obstacles to the immediate granting
'of the right to vote to all women" She
however, argues that the limitation
under the constitution would permit
very few women to vote, for in most
cases they have no separate income.
She is of the opinion that the vote
should be given to all mental and NOR
ally sound persons of both sexes with
out any property restrictions.
Other Dutch women in the van of the
women's movement declare the pro-
posed constitutional reform is a happy
result of the agitation recently carried
On by women of all countries, but still
others are of the opinion that the war
has done more to awaken the self-con-
I!Gence OF women than all their Striv-
ings on the platform and has compelled
men to learn the lesson that woman is
q part of the political fabric. They
argue that while the men have been
occupied in fighting or, as in the Meth
erlands, guarding the neutrality of the
country against attack, woman has
shown she can fill their places in othe:
spheres of life equally important for
the public welfare.
All political parties in the Neither,
lands appear to have become more or
less reconciled to the demand for and
need of some such reform in favor OF
women as that proposed by the Prem
Ter, and the nation awaits with interest
the outcome of the debates in the
Chambers.

DUTCH WOMEN HAVE
POLITICAL RIGHTS

THT HAGUE, Netherlands, March
PA step in the direction of according
political rights to Dutch women is TAX
en- in a, bill to amend the Netherlands
constitution recently introduced into
the Parliament at The Hague by Prem
icr Cort van der Linden. The bill,
which has yet to be voted on, does not
actually give women the ballot, but
removes the constitutional obstacles
hitherto placed in the way of theeir
right to vote. Should it pass, then
the electoral law will have to be
amended before women are really en-
abled to exercise the political fran
chise.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment goes even farther than recogniz-
ing women's right to vote. 1t also in
cludes their right to be elected, a con-
cession which had not been looked for
at this stage.
Dutch women, although welcoming
the suggested reform, are inclined to
display dissatisfaction with the limita.
tions of the franchise they may ulti,
nately obtain under it's provisions,
and in their discomfort they are joined
by the men, who suffer from the same
restrictions.
The basis of the Dutch constitution
is that men (and under the proposed
amendment also women) of % years
of age are entitled to vote for the 100
members of the Second Chamber
which is the direct representative body
for the people of the Netherlands. The
attainment of the age of 20 is, how
ever, not all that is necessary. The
wCuld-be voter must be able to prove
that he Cor she) has certain minim-
UNI yearly income, varying according
TO the locality from $110 to 1920 the
latter in big cities such as Rotterdam
and Amsterdam. Besides this, there
are exceptions made against persons
who receive municipal assistance I'M
ded the poor laws and naturally also
against criminals and lunatics, while
soldiers and sailors under a certain
rank are prohibited from voting while
on service iwth the colors.
These various disabilities effect

figures for the Netherlands being l.

Clean Up Week From April

For Well Thinking Folks

carry away refuse. The city fathers
can be shown that cleanliness means
less expense in the prevention of dis
ease and rendering every person in the
town more efficient and a better citi
zen.
If you can only manage one clean
up day in your town, do that and be
sure that you never did better thing
for the health and prosperity of your
town. The following program might
be advisable where a whole week is
devoted to cleaning up:
Monday: Collection of refuse and
tin cans from all vacant lois and open
spaces. If not disposed of that day,
the stuff can be gathered in piles,
where it can be quickly handled when
tie teams come along a day or two
later.
Tuesday: Householders clear out all
rubbish from attics, cellars and back
yards. If they cannot dispose of it,
Let them put it on the edge of the side
walk for removal by civic committee.
Grocers and other bushes men should
be urged to clean up their premises on
this day.
Wednesday: General street clean
ing and removal of refuse that cannot
be burned or buried on the spot. The
city should furnish teams for this work
but if they will not, the civic commit
tee must do it by private subscription
and volunteer work.
Thursday: Painting and white
washing houses, porches, fences and
getting yards ready for sods and flow
er beds.
Friday: Fire prevention and fl!
determination. Leaflets should be dis
tributed showing how the removal of
ust and old papers and clothing lessen
fire danger.
I'm similar way, advice can be
given about the dangers of flies car
rying disease and that cleanliness will
give them no chance to breed.
Saturday; General celebration of
cleanup with distribution of prizes and
establishment of at least one children's
garden and playground. On this final
day, emphasis should be placed ON the
necessity of keeping clean. The school
tCuse or town hall can be secured for
g mass meeting of citizens. Moving
picture people will show films giving
the contrast between cleanliness and
slovenliness. Slides cacn be shown
about the house fly and its menace to
health.
IF possible have some pictures and
a talk on the way to make your town
attractive, as we'll as clean.
Sunday: Ask every minister 70
preach on cleanliness as an adjunct to
goodness.
Naturally, such a program is only
a suggestion. 1t may be varied in a
score of ways to suit local conditions.
but if undertaken it will result in a
great growth of civic pride and we'll

\ Chicago man recently

A Chicago man recently took a
violent dislike to the table manners Of
a fellow diner and shot him. It is not
surprising that the Cook county grand
jury recommends weekly hangings for
a period Of six months as means to
reduce the number of Chicago's muir
ders. Strict law enforcement is need
ed in the United States, but before
this can be expected numerous ill-ad-
vised measures numbering the statute
books of various states must be wiped
out. Laws which a goodly percentage
of the people refuse to respect breed
disrespect for statutes that are abso-
lutely necessary.

There has been more less argument on
the merits of the split-log drag in relation to
various other drags, and the county commits
sioners have decided to have number of the
first named drags built. Road Superintendent
Fem states that they will be given thorough
tryout on roads composed of different soil, so
that it can be ascertained where they will do
the best work and also as to the advisability
of their continued use. This is one class of
work the public is perfectly willing to let
drag.-Little Falls Herald
A mighty sensible plan. While it
is doubtful if a better implement than
the humble split-log drag, for the
purpose which it is used, can be de-
vised, there is possibility that GER
tain soils require a different instru-
ment. Anyway, an experiment like
the above can do no harm.

The literacy test is again agitating
congress, and an immigration bill
closing the doors of the United States
to foreign illiterates passed the house
Friday by an overwhelming majority.
1t will undoubtedly pass the senate,
but this does not necessarily mean
that it will become law. Like meas
ures have been vetoed by Presidents
Cleveland, Taft and Wilson. The
measure would doubtless benefit
American labor, but those opposed to
it argue that it is wrong to deny ad-
mission to the United States to those
unfortunates who, through no fault
of their own, have not the blessings of
even a common education. Right or
wrong there is an overwhelming SEN
timent in favor Of this immigration
restrictive feature, and it may be
passed over the presidents veto.

In the meantime you do not witness a
clamor for the democratic nomination for
governor of Minnesota. 1t is recognized that
it would be empty honor this year. Lynch
ism has killed the party for the time being.
Belle PLANE Herald.
Lynchism has about as much to do
with the absence Of enthusiasm in the
ranks of democracy in regard to the
governorship as the north pole. The
fact that the indications are that the
republican party will present a solid
front has had a dampening effect on
the opposition, and they evidently are
not intending to over exert themselves
in a hopeless cause. If chance to
win presented itself, there is no doubt
but what the Lynch and anti-Lynch
factionists would sally forth under one
banner-and, if successful, fight over
the spoils afterwards.

RINES FOR STATE TREASURER.

RlNES FOR STATE TREASURER.
Hon. Henry Rines of Mora has filed
for the republican nomination for
state treasurer. No one who knows
Mr.. Rines will doubt his qualifications
for the responsible position. He has
served four terms in the legislature
presided as speaker of the house in
the 1913 session-and prior to that
time was county auditor of Kanabec
county for ten consecutive years. His
record as county officer and as a
legislator is without a flaw.
Two years ago he was a candidate
for the republican nomination for state
auditor, and although he made prac-
tically no campaign he lacked only a
few hundred votes of winning.
Mr.. Rines is man of mature years
and exemplary habits. If nominated
and elected the people of the state can
rest assured that the affairs of the
important office Of state treasurer
will be honestly and efficiently adj
ministered.
The Office Of state treasurer is a
mans job. The treasurer is not only
the custodian of the states funds but
he is also a member Of several boards
that call for a high order Of execu-
tive ability. The friends of Henry
Rines feel absolutely certain that he
is equal to every requirement of the
important office.
