ARE FLESH AND BLOOD
TO WOMAN WITH SON IN THE SERVICE
That's One of the Reasons New York Suffragists
Won Vote Last Tuesday-Mothers of
Soldiers Entered Ranks

81 HTAR. which might have kept the vote
w away from New York State women
last Tuesday gave It to them. Year after
year, for decades Of years they failed
In time Of peace. And then like a breeze
with more than 100000 votes for good
measure they went "over the top"-in
wartime
War gave II to them. How?
There was a new army of women who
pledged themselves to suffrage this fall
None Of the old arguments about why
women should have the vote interested
them before. Then came a new argu-
ment--such different argument
il was love-shorn OF logic. Love, for
their soldier sons were to go "over there"
on ships provided for by law, in shoes
provided for by law--whose bread and
beef came from the same source. Oh,
politics aren't politics when you have a
soldier boy whose only mother is the
Legislature once he gets out of your
sight. They're flesh and blood. And If
there's a way to have your say about
this boy you have given to your country
you want it-even II you have to go to
polling place to get it!
OWEN IL you've never been interested in
- suffrage you can't keep the lump out
OF your throat when you think of all the
things that went into that victory last
Tuesday. There was patience; the kind
you have to bite your lips to keep from
becoming something that has a different
name. There were high hopes, some
times, and then broken pledges to- dash
them to the ground. There was the little
sweatshop girl, who had the light of
better things in her eyes when she car
ried the banner in the suffrage parade.
Then there was the resolution in 1915,
before the ink was dry on the newspapers
that announced their defeat, to win some
day. somehow.
NEW YORK women did not neglect
~ their country while they were work.

his own ideas.
When livestock is consigned to
public stock yards, and COM
petitive bidding is demanded,
breeders will receive their fair
price, for buyers must pay it un-
der such circumstances. When
buyers go from farm to farm and
make their offers, the sellers are
left to depend upon the whims Of
the purchasers, and a public mar
ket is gradually killed off from
lack of patronage.
The Stevens County Livestock
Association has taken a firm stand
in favor of the open sales in a
public stock yards as the only
means Of giving an honest price
to the producer, for a constant
competition is thus maintained
among buyers.

Competition is described in the
cold, cOlOrless language Of Web
ster as "The act Of seeking or ell
deavOring to gain what another is
endeavoring to gain at the same
time" President Hadley of Yale,
a recognized political economist,
has stated that "where competi-
tion does not act at all, there is
complete monopoly"
Without competition or with
out the desire or ambition to excel,
we would still be content to travel
by OK team and till our soil with
the crude implements Of our fore
fathers. Every great invention
|sof.7the ages can be attributed to
this great driving force.
So long as competition is pres
ent there can be no stagnation
either in business or pleasure, but
the moment competition ceases or
is prevented, progress is retarded
and it becomes merely question
of the extent to which monopoly
will be imposed.
In the marketing of all prod
ucts of the soil, competition in
buying at the time of sale must
be the great underlying factor con-
trolling the selling price. In the
marketing of livestock, the foun-
dation of our great open and COM
petitive stock yards markets was
laid upon the bed rock Of compe-
tition. The very purpose of the
union stock yards system as es-
tablished was to decrease the
harmful competition to be found
where thousands Of producers
clamored to sell to the few buyers
and to increase the competition
by facing the buyers with few
highly skilled statesmen who knew
their goods, the value thereof and
at the time were conversant with
the needs of the buyers.
Out of the universal chaos, the
system brought order and at the
same time gave the producer alb
solute protection against unscrup-
ulous buyers and dishonest sales
men by imposing and rigidly en-
forcing rules designed solely for
the protection of the producers
and shippers.
The livestock production Of
this country is actually below the
demand and is not keeping pace
with our increase in population.
There can be no doubt but that
every animal produced for slaugh-
ter will be eagerly purchased by
the packers, who are in turn do
inR q record business.
Some Of the more progressive
packers concede that the pro-
dueers of livestock are entitled to
share in the prosperity Of the
meat industry but not so the coun-
try-buying packer who endeavors
to evade competition he must meet
upon the open market and prefers
to buy direct at country stations
where competition is unknown
and where prices are fixed to suit

day, although encyclopedias fail
to state with any uniformity when
or where st. Patrick was born, or
died, or why the stormy month Of
March was selected for the wear
ing of the green.
st. Patrick was one of the fa-
nous missionaries of the fifth GEN.
tury, and his life was one of
works. The Druids tried to put
him out Of the way; he was cap
tured, held and sold into slavery !;
tended sheep for time, escaped
from those who had made him
captive and shipped to Tours,
where he entered an island sane
tuary, later performing missionary
work in Auxerre.
Then came the return to Erin
and life devoted to religious
work among his countrymen. As
a result Of trip to Rome he was
titled "Patrecius." History says
he preached throughout Ireland
and evangelical the Irish race.
Tradition has many a tale to tell
of the work performed by the pa
tron saint. A visit to the nation
al museum at Dublin will reveal
st. Patrick's bell, carried by him
on his journeys about the island.
So wherever the Irish race is
represented, whether it be in
India or these United States, there
will be talks and other observ-
ances today in honor of the saint
who, according to tradition, put
the snakes to rout.
But the 18th day of March has
still further meaning to the
American, for on that date the
British bade Boston goodbye and
evacuated the city. Probably the
poor street car service and the
unlimited offerings Of beans
proved too much for them, al
though the arrival Of Washing
tons army may have had some-
thing to do with It. For q cene
tury and a half the red coats had
controlled Boston. But Washing
ton, on st. Patrick's day, with an
army of volunteers and without
the consent Of any other nation,
drove them from their pleasurable
job. Now Boston is called the
City of Culture, although no one
knows just why.
On this same day Of the month,
General Grant was placed in
charge Of all the armies of the
United States in 1864. And to
crown the day, on March II, 1883,
the national baseball commission
was organized.
Thus today is the anniversary
of a great movement in missions,
in political freedom, in American
unity, and in baseball profanity.
Yes, the legislature has ad-
journed. The expenditures of
the state were only increased
100000 more than was voted
by the legislature Of 1915, and
the legislatures of 1915 and 1918
were noted as the most expensive
ever held in the state, from the
standpoint Of enactments. Gov
ernor Listers veto Of excessive
appropriations was overridden,
and the republican organization of
the state can again point with
pride to the fact that the people
of this state will pay any price
that is asked in the name of the
republican legislative organiza-
ton. There need be no CON-
plant, no grumbling, no objec-
tion to higher taxes. The people
have ordered it, sanctioned it sew
eral times, and called for it's repe-
titiOn.

The following authoritative
statements are made by one of the
large woolen manufacturing mills
Of the east: "The wool clip Of
1916 sold for 60c to 65c per
secured pound, but the fleece OH
the sheep now running around in
the SNOW Of our wool growing
states has been sold to dealers
under contract for delivery next
June on the secured basis of 81
per pound or more.
"The United States uses GOO
100000 pounds Of wool per an
mum. The clip Of the United
States has decreased in five years
from 1928, 100000 to 2SS,000. 600
pounds. The clips of Australia,
Argentine and New Zealand have
decreased, the clip Of all the coun-
tries at war has almost diSap-
peared twenty million men at war
use five to ten times as much wool
as usual, and can't exist without
it. And there is no substitute.
If the war continues for even one
more year, it will not be a ques-
ton Of price, but of wool at any
price, and there is always the pos
sibility Of this country being
forced to actual preparedness,
which would necessitate taking
for the army such wool as is now
in the mills for their general
trade. England has an embargo
on wool from home and all her
colonies. We are dependent on
South America for more than half
our supply, and must bid against
the necessities of war for every
pound we get.
$50 long as the war continues,
clothing must climb in price by
leaps and bounds, and what seems
outrageously high this season, ap-
pears a lost opportunity next
season. The question naturally
arises: Suppose the war should
end? We know it must end some
time, but whenever it ends the
following facts must prevail: The
world will have no reserve supply
of wool. All the world Except
possibly the United States) will
have bare counters. The coun-
tries now at war will begin their
renaissance. A large part Of
twenty million men must discard
their tattered, vermin infested
uniforms for civilians clothes.
England, France, Germany, Aus
tria and Belgium will leap at each
others throats in the greatest
commercial war Of history to re-
cover the markets Of the world
and the gold that has been drained
from them.
"No matter how high wool and
cotton will be Unsuitable, because
it takes nearly as much raw stock
to start up a mill as it normally
buys in six months. After an
armistice is agreed upon, it will
take surely two months to appoint
the peace commissioners from all
the countries at war and get them
to central meeting place. After
they meet, six months would be a
short time in which to agree upon
the details involved in the boun-
daries of all the countries at war,
to say nothing of indemnities and
guarantees Of future peace. No
man can return to the factory un-
til everything is definitely settled,
but every factory owner will
seek raw materials at any price.
