Twelve Reasons Why Michigan
Women Should Have the Vote

BECAUSE those who obey the laws
should help to choose those who make
the laws.
BECAUSE laws affect women as
much as men.
BECAUSE laws which affect women
are now passed without consulting
them.
BECAUSE laws affecting children
should include the woman's point of
view as well as the mans.
BECAUSE laws affecting the home
are voted on In every session of the
legislature.
BECAUSE women have experience
which would be helpful to legislation.
BECAUSE to deprive women of the
vote is to lower their position in COM
mon estimation.
BECAUSE having the vote would
increase the sense Of responsibility
among women toward questions of
public Importance.
BECAUSE public-spirited mothers
make philosophical sons.
BECAUSE more than 100000 wo-
men in the United States are wage
workers, and the conditions under
which they work are controlled by law.
BECAUSE the objections against
their having the vote are based on
prejudice, not on reason.
BECAUSE, to sum up all reasons in
one, II Is for the common good of all.

Legislature Decided in 1917 That
Woman Suffrage Was Part of
the Democracy for Which
America Is Fighting.
PUT QUESTION UP FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTIONS
Michigan Women Carrying on
Strenuous Campaign With
Other War Work-FulI Suffrage
! Is Expected November 5.

Michigan men have to vote on wo-
man suffrage on November 8. Michi-
gan legislators so decided In the spring
of 1917. Michigan women had moth
ing to do with the decision. They
even questioned Its opportuneness In
war time.
But the legislators Of Michigan were
farseeing. They had already visualiz-
ed the struggle for elf-government
for women as part of the program of
the world struggle for self-government.
"Woman suffrage Is not inopportune
at this crisis" said Michigans legis-
lators, sit belongs 1t is part of the
crisis"
Since that time the Parliament OF
England has said the same thlng-and
enfranchised 100000 British women !;
the Canadian government has said it
and given full suffrage to all Canadian
women. France and Belgium and Italy
have said IL and committed themselves
by official spokesman to the enfranch-
isement of their women.
Since that time, too, the President
OF the United States has set forth In
urgent language his profound convic-
tion that woman suffrage must be ac-
counted q measure essential TO the
success of the war. Beside him on this
issue stand the statesmen leaders of
the country. whatever their politics
Colonel Roosevelt, Chairman Hayes,
Colonel Bryan, Judge Hughes-the
men most irrevocably committed to
the successful prosecution of the war.
All are seeing and saying that wo-
man suffrage is inherent In what
America is. fighting for-"democracy,
the right of those who submit to, au-
thority to have voice In their own
government" H

DIME CREEK CAMP
SCORNS ALL lids
ALL DOORS WIDE OPEN LIKE
ALASKA OF OLD.
One Place In NorthIand Whore Gold
seeker Can Tear Loose and -.
Whoop FER Up.

NOME, Alaska. - The only, wide
open camp in Alaska just now is Dime
Creek. Reeking with consolidated
drunkenness. gambling and dance
halls the new camp has dug itself a
nice little ulcer on the tributary OF
the Kayokuk.
A little log cabin shelters the game
sters, where the gamblers have high
old time and rakeoffs mount as high
as three hundred a night. Currency
runs short and checks-mudstained
and tobacco odored-indorsed by a
dozen different people pass for the
chips when the gold and silver fail.
Pangiggi, black jack, poker or such
other games as separate man play
fully from his money, are to be had
for the asking. The camp is without
a deputy, and when the commissioner
shows up in the vicinity everything
is innocent looking. But that isn't all.
OF course, Dime Creek has a dance
hall. 1t is popularity known as the
Monte Carlo, where a couple of high
stepping ladies have initiated the
leading lights of Dime into the terpsi-
chorean and other bacchanalian mys-
teries that may be referred to only as
congratulations. Here the willing tyro
reaches that stage of sociability
wherein he is willing to whoop 1t up,
and whoop it up he does with the help
of the steersman who later guides him
to the cabin where the real games are
played.
The delightful condition of things
has raised the mischief with the camp,
but some of the sharks are lot rich
er by their visits and it is a pretty
prosperous field.
No gold mines along the deposits of
Dime Creek have produced the wealth
that the little log cabin has returned
to those who have operated the games,
and the figures are prodigious as to
the limits played. 1t is evidently no
place for pikers. In a single sitting
one man lost as high as fourteen .h,nr.
dred, another a couple or hundred. II
this keeps up the owners Of the green
cloth will be able to buy steam yachts
and buzz wagons. SO, too, with the
dancing ladies. A recent fair one from
the direction of st. Michaels is said
to have amassed a fortune in the
dance hall, and her diamonds and gay
toggery put her sisterhood from 9th
erwheres in the Cheap John class.
Yes, Dime Creek is pretty easy
camp with the lid off and the limit
thrown into the creek. That's the
statement of fact which returning
Dimeites bring to Nome.
