SUFFRAGE HAD HARD
PULL IN WISCONSIN
Negros and Women Classed Together
By Constitutional Fathers.
Associate Editor, Public Opinio

Madison, Wis, Nov. 3.-Although
Wisconsin's constitutional convention
of 1916 was so radical that the voters
rejected the constitution it drafted,
the fathers" had scant sympathy for
the proposal of woman suffrage. An Ii
vestigation made recently at the State
Historical Library at Madison disclos-
es the fact that the only mention ac-
corded the subject of female suffrage
was uttered in derision with a view to
discrediting the movement for negro
suffrage which did receive serious at
tention at the hands of the convention.
The fathers" turned down negroes
and women alike, but-somewhat later
two million Union bayonets conferred
the ballot upon the black man. The
political enfranshisement of women,
a matter of vastly greater moment to
Wisconsin, Jagged behind that of the
negro for half a century, until at
length it was taken out of the hands
of the made voters of Wisconsin by
the federal government.

SPLENDID
ADDRESS
SUNDAY Night

Justice of the Supreme Court, Mar
bin B. Rosenberg, of Madison, deliv-
cred mastery address at the Congre-
gational church, Sunday evening, un-
der the auspices Of the Sunday Even
ing Club The subject was the "Pres-
ent Crisis-A Test of Democracy"
While the audience room of that
church was about twO-thirds filled It
should have been crowded to its limit
Just why the able speakers that come
to the Sunday Evening Club are so
poorly attended is what is surprising
to those who are interested in giving
the entertainments. Some of the best
talent on the American platform have
been present and only small audiences
turned out to hear them Mr.. Rosen-
berry handled his subject with great
ability and proved himself a master
of his subject. His review of the con-
stitutiOn of the United States and that
of the State of Wisconsin and their
relations TO the great questions that
are now agitating the American people
were clearly stated and brought to
the attention of his audience the foun-
dation for the decisions in the Su-
preme Court of the state and nation.
He brought out many valuable thots
that aided his audience in grasping the
present political and labor troubles of
the country. He was cordially receiv-
ed and heartily encored showing that
his audience were greatly pleased with
his address. Everybody who heard
him, speak in the highest terms of the
thoughtful care and preparation indi-
Gated in his address. 1t is simply too
bad that all the good people of Grand
Rapids were not present to hear what
he had to say.

IMPROVEMENTS
CONTEMPL

The Consolidated w. P. & P. Co.
have great plans they desire to
develop in the future For this pur-
pose they have secured options on the
entire MacKinnon block at the west
md of the wagon bridge also the Po-
mainville and LeFebvre block next to
it up Grand Avenue. Just how they
expect to use this property is not yet
ready for publication, but the people
can rest assured that this property if
purchased by said company will be
beautified and cared for in such a man
ner that the people of Grand Rapids
will be proud of. The President of
the company, Geo. W. Mead may have
his faults as we all do, but one thing
we take pleasure in saying for him is
that he does things in a large mag
nanamus way with an eye single to
civic beauty and future growth of the
city and surroundings in which he
lives. We compliment him and the
Consolidated company for the greater
development of Grand Rapids and
Wood county.

DECISIONS
QF INTEREST
To DRAINAGE

We note in Wednesday MORNINGS
Milwaukee Sentinel that the case Of
the Cranberry Greek Drainage Dis
trict VS.. The Elm Lake Cranberry COM
pany was affirmed by the Supreme
Court Tuesday
Briefly the facts are these. The
cranberry growers built dam across
Hemlock Creek, dug canal to The
Elm Lake Cranberry company's marsh
conducted considerable water from
that creek thru the canal into the
cranberry marshes and finally turn
ed the Hemlock Creek water (and 9TH
ar waters mixed) into the Cranberry
Creek Drainage District.
The district sued the cranberry
growers and asked an injunction to
prevent them turning this Hemlock
Creek water into that district.
Judge Park granted the injunction
against the cranberry growers, after
trying the case several days in cir
cult court. The cranberry men ap-
pealed, and the supreme court sus-
tained Judge Parks decision.
Attorney B. M. Vaughan, brought
the action for the drainage district,
and Goggins, Brazeau & Goggins rep
resented the cranberry growers.
Several important constitutional
questions were involved in the case.
Among others the constitutionality of
the cranberry statute, which has been
in the Wisconsin statutes since 1867,
was raised, so that the decision is prob
ably of great general interest. We
have not the details of Tuesdays de-
cision.

HIGH COSTS REQUIRE
LESS WASTE ON FARM

Five per cent loss from smut on q
30-bushel wheat field may not look like
much on 500 land when wheat is $1.00
bushel. On 5000 land, with wheat
at 1926 bushel, the five per cent loss
begins to count larger against the
years profit. This is one of the rea-
sons for the demand for information
concerning diseases of farm crops.
Practical instruction in plant dis
eases and their control will be a part
of the work in the short course at the
College of Agriculture this year. The
first term begins Nov. II and extends
to December 10. Tuition is free to
residents of Wisconsin and no en-
trance examination is required. APP
plications for entrance should be sent
to J. A. James, College of Agriculture
Madison, Wis, who is in charge of the
course.
Other practical economies on the
farm are handled in other classes. The
relation of bacteria to agriculture in
cludes instruction in incubation of
legumes, care of milk, and preserva-
tion of food and folders. Compost
tion and conservation of farm manure
control of injurious insects, prevention
of soil erosion, diseases of animals are
all subjects that are handled in differ
ent classes in the short course. Glass
es in farm bookkeeping and farm man
agement show further the business
side of farming.

EMPLOYEE
ENTERTAINMENT

The Consolidated w. P. & P. Co., of
this city and Biron do everything pos
sible for the care and good of their
employees. They have installed all
the safety" devices thruout their
mills known to the craft for the pro-
lection of their workmen. They have
recognized the Papermakers' Union
and do everything possible to aid and
elevate the standard of labor in both
Of their mills. The working shifts are
of 8 hours each, the pay is graded
and extra time is paid a price and a
half. They issue a monthly magazine
which circulates free among the en-
ployees carrying all orders, informa-
tion, local news, views of the mill,
pictures of employees, officers, etc
It's valuable publication for all con-
cerned.
The company officers and managers
cater to the workmen and have their
every interest at heart. They have a
local band among their number. They
join together in giving entertainments
On Sunday afternoon and evening an
entertainment was given which indi-
Gated great variety of talent among
their number. The entertainment
opened with several concert marches
by the Consolidated band under the
leadership of Dan Ellis. Following
this, F. H. Eberhardt, superintendent
ent of the Employees Benefit Associa-
tion, gave an interesting summary
of the work accomplished by the or
ganization and brief prophecy con-
cerning the program for the future
He stated that about 95 percent Of
all Consolidated employees are now
members of the E. B. A.
An excellent clarinet solo by Chas.
Parker, accompanied by Miss Bernice
Eggert. was greatly enjoyed by the
audience. Edward Lipke, president of
the Grand Rapids Federation of La
Dor, spoke concisely of the attitude of
organized labor toward the safety
movement, emphasizing the fact that
accidents cause hardships to both en-
ployer and employe, the bulk of the
misery being shouldered by the EN-
Iploye. He spoke directly to the men.
urging them to assume individual
responsibility in the matter of pre-
venting injuries in their plant.
The successful safety record of
the past year was pointed out by
C. E. Jackson, employment manager.
who also stated that Grand Rapids
as community should catch the
spirit of safety and teach it's prin-
ciples to the coming generation, so
that this city will have wide repu-
tation as a safe place in which to
live.
Slides showing mill men and views
were thrown upon the screen to add
local color to the program. These
were followed by Safety movie en-
titled, ''The Awakening"
The big feature of the entertain
ment was an illustrated talk by Mr..
Al. Kroes, of Milwaukee, repre-
sentative of the Employers Mutual
Liability Insurance Company of
Wausau. Mr. Kroes showed his own
drawings on the screen and drove in
to the minds of his hearers the
great fundamental principles of in
dividual and plant safety. He re-
marked that Safety First is nothing
more than ordinary common sense,
and his entire discourse was so SIM
pie and practical that it was thoroly
enjoyed by both old and young. The
speaker drew shouts of laughter
from his audience at times and at
other points his presentation showed

SUBSCRIPTION PLAN
MAKES HELP FOR
COLLEGES EASY.

Subscriptions to the Wiseon-
sin Colleges Associated are pay
able in 10 semi-annual install
ments over period of five years.
Thus the movement might be
regarded as five successive an
nuai Sf,ooo,000 campaigns. The
advantage of the present method
is that the money is pledged,
and the future OF the college as
sured.
A subscription of $3.50 for in
stance, would mean 10 payments
of S25 each. One Lawrence
aIumnus, who had planned to
give 500 in cash, has changed
his offer TO $3.50 over a period of
five years.
Dates of the campaign are,
Nov. II to 1o. First payment,
Dec. 1, 1919.
