Grange Endorses Suffrage.

We of the West are proud of the record our women have made in the use of the ballot It is no longer an experiment.. It has been thoroughly tried out. There is nothing to fear. The woman voter has proven to be the most safe and sane of our voters and we hope the men of the Grange, who know this, will see to it that woman suffrage is carried to speedy victory in every Grange state. In this. as in all great measures of general betterment, the Grange should lead the way"
 c. B. Kegley,
 State Master, Washington. would advise that Connecticut and all the East follow the example of Wyoming and give to their women the vote. Thomas E. Gunson,
 State Master, Wyoming. Mrs. Bond, lecturer of Oregon State Grange in telling of the special study of child welfare and the good work done in home economics, at the Oak land convention said, "All these things have happened in Oregon since women were given the ballot"
 Ihe women or Kansas are power in forcing all parties to put up their best men; no man whose record is shady can get nomination; polling places are cleaner; rowdyism and vice are prohibited, and suffrage is now re- ceiving the support of many of the bet ter element who at first opposed it.'
 A. P. Reardon, < National Chaplain, State Master, Oregon.

 His engine, pulling night freight, had stopped at the plug sor water, and Rossiter had pulled the big pipe around started to push it back into place, ,o clear the train, after the tank had been supplied. 1t required considerable effort to move the pipe, and ROssiter braced himself with poker and pushed with all his strength.

He picked himself up, bleeding profusely. and was helped into Dempsey's drug store, where Dr. Lee, the railroad physician was summoned, who treated bis wounds and patched him up to stand the journey to Great Burlington, where he was placed iD the Fairview Hospital.
