THERE WILL BEA 'W0MaN's VOTE"

Commenting upon the enrolment Of
woman voters in the state the New
York Times discovers that there is TO
be no such thing as 1.-The woman vote"
1t argues from the figures that women
are going to disagree among them
selves as much as men do, that the
votes of women will have little to do
with prohibition and that the women
will vote with the men.
If the Times means that there will
not be a woman's party and that sex
will not be an Issue in elections It Is
on safe ground. There will be neither
a woman's party nor will women count
recognition Of It as part of the voting
and governing body Of the people. To
argue otherwise would be to question
the Intelligence Of the women and few
except male bullheads and politicians
Of lower class and men without
learning and trained intelligence argue
that way. But as to a woman's vote it
will exist and be cast by women,
perhaps not nationally but in states
and districts and communities. At
least this will be true for a consider
able time after women receive the full
franchise and until the compromise
that 1t will eventually create arrives
between the opinions and purposes OF
the sexes in politics and elections.
It will be marked In local elections
which carry issues bearing directly
upon public welfare. 1t will show in
school elections, in counties and dis
tricts where candidates lack moral
strength and tone. It will affect pro-
hibition in states and have strong
influence on strictly local conditions.
For with the women the home will go
to the polls and the woman vote will
be home vote defensive OF the home.
Yes, we shall have a"woman's vote"
until certain reforms which men agree
should be accomplished but refuse to
enact, have been established. That the
woman vote will affect the liquor ques-
ton and the many problems that vice
has created goes without question
among those who know the middle
west woman. Neither is 1t to be
assumed that the women Of New York
newspapers, defenders of the liquor
traffic, would paint them.
At any rate the surest way to settle
and decide the question Is to give the
women the ballot. And indications are
that will be done very soon in America.

with q batch Of cookies or cakes she
slipped few on a plate, threw shawl
over her head and ran across to the
back door Of the other house; how
when tidings Of great JOY or of sorrow
came to one home the light shone or
the shadow fell upon the other; how
we knew each others needs and each
others prosperity and how interested
in all that affected either family were
all the members Of both families? Each
expected much of the other and each
was willing and ready to give more
than was expected or even desired.
We are getting away from the old
fashion of neighboring, losing the es-
sence of "neighbor" in these days when
we have lived 20 much to and for our
selves Modern conveniences and
more complete division of labor have
affected the older conditions Of inter-
dependence. So we have lived less
with people and more to ourselves. We
could buy and hire service that came
largely by favor then. If Mrs. Jones

Dor Browns daughter, who didn't have
to work out for anybody" felt it in
cumbent upon her to step into the
breach and help out a good neighbor.
So she did domestic service for a
month or so, not because she needed
the money but because Mrs. Jones
needed the help. And that spirit of
helpfulness and mutual responsibility
for each other ran thru the "neighbor-
hood" And in dire emergency Of sud-
den sickness no horse in the neighbor-
hood was immune from danger Of be-
ing run to death going after the doc

"NElGHBORING,"

There's a word in the United States
language that is losing its meaning
that old word "neighbor" and its old
meaning that covered so much. Neigh
borhood" now refers mainly to locality.
It used to mean much more than that.
In the old days neighbor was friend.
To be a neighbor involved certain OBJ
legations and responsibilities. In an
old fashioned neighborhood close
community spirit existed. Nowadays
we don't "neighbor'' that way. A
neighbor is some one who lives near.
Then a neighbor was some one actually
close to us not only in proximity but
in every way.

QUIT REQUESTING" AND ISSUE ORDERS.

Miss Freeman, in an address at Des
Moines told her listeners thai food
conservation had fallen down and that
we had saved but per cent Of the
wheat.
Whether or not her figures are cor
rect we have had a great deal of urg-
ing and argument and we haven't
saved the wheat that we should and
might have saved under stricter rul
ing, We have requested and urged"
where ordens should have been given
and enforced.
1t Is hard to co ordinate food admin
istration over a continent as wise as
ours with such diversity of crops and
conditions; but it should not be hard
to coordinate within state. Condi-
tons are not so vastly at odds within
the boundaries of any state in the
union that a rule need be a request
instead OF an order.
The sincere, patriotic family does
listen to the appeals and requests. The
other class gets theirs. Some women
use small part of the ~ pounds a
week allotment to which the admin
istration requests them to confine
themselves. Others use it all and some
sneak outside the counties, patronize
mail order houses and endeavor to
avoid any conservation in flour and
sugar, 1t is they who need orders with
authority behind them and the official
courage to enforce the rules strictly.
A rule should be state wide at least.
1t should be an order war order.
And it shold be absolutely enforced in
its real spirit if not to the letter There
is no justice in permitting food
slackers to enjoy the very food patriots
deny themselves.
We shall arrive at this view very
soon and crystalline it into a CO.
ordinate enforcement Of conservation
that will save it's full percentage. And
tht time can not come too soon.

AFFECTING RURAL SCHOOLS.
rSioux City Journal

Scarcity of teachers will have a
marked effect on the rural schools OF
the state, according to statements from
the office of the state superintendent
of public instruction. For various rea-
sons the supply Of teachers has been
below the demand for a number OF
years, and the problem OF filling the
places has perplexed school officers.
While teachers were induced to en-
gage In other employment because of
better pay it was possible to hold them
to some extent by paying the price.
Shortage now Is due to the war. the
young men being called to the army
and young women IN many instances
filing the places vacated by men in
other lines. There Is an absolute
shortage, and the supply can not be
replenished.
While no special embarrassment Is
likely to be felt in the schools Of towns
and cities, where teachers have some
thing like q permanent status. boards
