SENATOR RANKIN, MAYBE.

Away back in 1916, when we were "keep-
ing out of war;" which was mo business
of ours" we had time to note and speculate
upon the phenomenon of woman's election
to the United States house of representa-
tives. The woman, of course, was Miss jean
nette Rankin, of Montana and the world,
who, with suffrage votes and red hair in her
favor, romped off with the cold cream in
the Montana congressional contest. In mod
ern times-1916 being part of ancient his
tory now-we have grown quite accustom-
ed to the congressman-woman idea. Besides
exercising her feminine right to tears when
the great issue came to be decided, and of
voting on sentiment instead of sense on one
or two important occasions, Jeanette has
been rather serviceable sort of person at
the capital. In particular she has maintain
ed courageous and apparently right stand
for the interest of the Montana miners, who
helped elect her. She naturally assumed in
the house a degree of leadership in woman
suffrage matters, and won a fair measure
of respect for her abilities along that line.
Now, Representative Rankin has announc-
ed that her ambitions run higher. Having
served her hovitiate in craftsmanship in the
house, she aspires to ascend to the senate.
She is a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for senator to succeed Thomas ].
Walsh, democrat The primaries will be held
in August, and Jeanette up to date is the
only republican candidate. If she can hold
the feminine vote, which she probably can,
and the labor vote, which she probably can,
also, her election is likelihood In making
her fight for congress she traversed the
state on horseback, meeting miners and lum-
bermen She confessed that she is a good
seamstress, and makes her own clothes. And
as has been indicated, she got the votes.
In the meantime, the first woman repre-
sentative has demonstrated that she has am
bition, and that she is more than willing to
serve her country as conspicuously as the
country may require. So other possibilities
are opened up. Finding the house easy and
the senate perhaps attainable may not her
Imagination carry her further? Perhaps
Jeanette Rankin has solution of the per-
picking problem of 1920 that the republi-
can party will confront. Who knows?

A Tribute to Water.

Col. Bob Make, a typical southern gen.
tleman of the old school, was surprised when
at banquet in Arkansas he found that he
was down to respond to the toast "Water."
And this is what the colonel said:
Water is the purest and best of all
things that God created. have seen it
glisten in tiny tear-drops on the sleeping
lids of infancy; have seen it trickle down
the blushing cheeks of youth, and go in rush
ing torrents down the wrinkled cheeks of
age; have seen it in tiny dewdrops on the
blades of grass and leaves of trees, flashing
like polished diamonds when the sun bursts
in resplendent glory DER the eastern hills.
have seen it trickle down the mountain
sides in tiny rivulets with the music of liu-
uid silver striking on beds of diamonds. I
have seen it in the rushing river ripping
over pebbly bottoms, purling about jutting
stones, roaring over precipitous falls in its
mad rush to join the mighty father of wa
tiers, and in the mighty father of waters
have seen it go in slow and majestic sweep
to join the ocean. l have seen it in the
mighty ocean on whose broad bosom float
the battle fleets of all nations and the COM
merce of the world. But gentlemen, l want
to say to you now, that as a beverage it is
a d-n failure"

CANNING FOODS

Within the past year or two thousands of
dollars worth of vegetables which would
otherwise have gone to waste have been
canned by the housewives of Terrell county.
The practice is growing steadily, and is
certain to come into greater favor. The
canning industry will in time be big thing
in this section, and one of the greatest ele-
ments which will contribute to this much to
be desired condition will be the successful
operation of the numerous community and
family canneries that have come into being
within the past few years.
Logically, the South should be the home
of the large commercial canneries just as
it should be of the cotton factories. There
is an unlimited opportunity for raising the
finest vegetables on earth down here in Gods
country. Most varieties can be grown more
abundantly and economically here than in
any other section Not only would the de-
velopment of this industry mean millions of
dollars in the increased production of food
stuffs, but it would add three-fold to the
value of our lands. The mere saving of the
thousands of bushels of sweet potatoes that
have heretofore gone to waste by canning
them for market would be big item in it
self.
In this connection it is source of gratifi-
cation to know that the Dawson Canning
company expects to have it's plant in opera
tion in time to take care of the potato crop
of the county. 1t was unfortunate that the
building first erected for the factory was
blown down in the recent storm. Work was
begun almost Immediately, however, to re-
build the structure, and it is now being car
ried forward rapidly to completion. The
News believes that the canning factory will
serve very useful purpose in these days
of much needed conservation, and that it
will prove of great worth to the people of
this section.

A Dog-Gone Story.

Says The Dawson News: Referring to a
bill which has been introduced in the legis-
lature the Triton Gazette says the worth
less cur must CO. etc. We are not so sure
OF it. There have been dog laws in the past,
and without exception the authors have
quickly passed from the scene of action and
the dog has come back. The average person
has real affection for his dog, be it cur or
what not, and we are not ready to admit
that it is bad trait"
There are dogs and dogs. The Gazette
referred to the worthless kind Four chill
dren of a citizen of Tiff have been under
treatment for the bite of an alleged mad
dog for three week. Each summer of the
past ten years has seen several cases of the
kind.
Once the section which is now Tiff coun-
ty was noted for its sheep, and the annual
wool sales at Triton even so recent as ten
years ago brought about $4,000 in cash
here. Now the sheep have almost disappear
ed. There were other causes, but the cur
dog was strong contributing factor toward
making sheep-raising Improbable There is
no comparison between the life of dog
and that of a child, none between the fate
OF the dog and the anxiety of parents, even
should rabies be a myth; certainly sheep
growing as an industry is not to be mention
ed in the same breath with raising dogs.
Therefore, we are confirmed in the belief
that our sympathy or affection should be
confined to those dogs considered by their
owners worth paying tax on.

THE GERMAN BOYCOTT.

The members of the cotton exchange of
Liverpool have bound themselves not to
trade directly or indirectly with the present
enemies of Great Britain for a period of
ten years after the war. The movement to
boycott Germany is spreading, affecting not
only bodies such as the Liverpool cotton
exchange, but individuals. There is in the
United States an organization established
primarily for the purpose of obligating its
members not to buy anything made in Ger
many, and its membership is rapidly grow
ing.
The sinking of hospital ships, the bomb
ing of Red Cross hospitals, the murder of
non-combatants, which Germany has been
practicing since the beginning of the war
these make good advertising for the organ
i7ations. Germany has a heavy load to face
IN the future, and generations and genera
tons will pass before the German people
will hold the position they formerly held in
the intercourse of nations

WOMEN, TOO.

Not content with an anti-loafing law for
men, the Georgia state senate, adopted an
amendment to make women idlers work.
Evidently the men of the senate think the
law should not be one-sided, but should ap-
ply to male and female alike, just as Noah
took the animals into the ark.
If the general assembly passes an anti
loafng law for females we will hear much
about it being a terrible blow to the indo-
lent women whose principal occupation is
reading novels and playing bridge for prizes,
at which many of them work pretty hard.
In reality, however, it will be only another
law added to the many that are now dead
letters. 1t will not be enforced.

EMPTY FREIGHT CARS.

From the Pierce Is. d. Journal.
There can be no truth in telling the pub
lie that the railroads cannot handle coal for
want Of cars, when hundreds of empty cars,
most of them from Georgia, New Hampshire,
Ohio, Massachusetts and other eastern roads,
are standing idle on sidetracks in this sec
ton. We would like to have a snapshot of
each sidetrack in central South Dakota alone
to supply composite picture of reputation
of the liars who say there is no rolling stock
to haul coal 1t is about time some coal was
supplied this state or else letup on the
propaganda of asking the people to help
Uncle Sam by buying coal early.

money, but she had the wine, and the law
