WOMAN SUFFRAGE COMING.

A few days ago the bill submitting
the constitutional woman suffrage
amendment to the states for ratifica-
tion passed the senate, as it had prev
iously passed the house, with flying
colors. The women have waged
long and often seemingly hopeless
struggle to bring this about, but the
victory is theirs at last. 1t will now
rest with the states, Of course, to rat
ify or defeat the amendment; but OF
it's ultimate ratification by the neces-
sary two-thirds of the states there Is
little doubt. The states that now have
woman suffrage will accept he amend
ment. and it ought not to be very din
icult matter to persuade suf1icient
number OF other states to do the same
There will be opposition and reaction
without a doubt, especially IN the
south: but the prospect is that IN
the end considerably more than two
thirds of the states will climb into
the band wagon. The women have
won and the few lonesome stand-pat-
ters who stubbornly oppose the move
ment to the last do so to save their
personal pride. But they know tney
are beaten.

Parade, Grafton, Ball Games,
Races and etc. ..=

Manchester is getting busy to show
what it can do on the Fourth. 1t has
shown this in other years, but this
year it proposes to demonstrate it's
ability in the way of getting up a
celebration that is to leave all former
efforts in the shade.
While the details have not been
worked out as yet, the general out
lines of the program are now we'll
in hand. There will be an grafton
worthy Of the occasion by one Of the
best speakers to be secured A mon
ster parade will give every business
man in Manchester the chance to
show the public what kind of goods
he can deliver. There will be a big
battle between Ryan and Monticello
in the form Of ball game. Horse
races, pacing and trotting as well as
novelty races will entertain the crowds
besides free acts galore. One of the
novel features Of the day will be a
balloon race by government aeronauts
including parachute descent from
each ballon. The display of fireworks
in the evening will be the biggest ever
seen, one Of the ballons to give a
pyrotechnic display in midair.
The committee is now planning ex-
tensive improvements on the grounds
for the benefit Of the public, most of
which will be ready to be utilized on
the Fourth.
The time for the parade is 1890 A.

grounds will begin promptly at at 1880

ANNUAL CHAUTAUOUA
DUE next week
MUSIC AND DRAMA TWO OUT
STANDING FEATURS OF THIS
YEARS PROGRAM.
OPENS JUNE 1e, CLOSES JUNE g.
Exhibition Flights by Aeroplane
Scheduled Tor one Day. Also
Lecture on Aviation. II

Inc program prepared by the Red
path-Vawter bureau for the Chautau-i
qua season of 1919 appears to be one
OF the strongest yet presented TO the
public. The entertainment feature ID
ample, but Is not overdone Lect-
ures OF an educational character are
sufficiently numerous, and are to be
given by men fully competent to han
ole their chosen subjects. The two
elements Of entertainment and instruc-
tlon are we'll balanced, so that the
program is attractive throughout. each
line affording sufficient variety to
ssit all tastes.
Among the lectures to be given. the
following promise to be Of special in
terest. One by the Rev. Chas. Medbury
OF Des Moines, on "The Man OF Now
at New Task" discussion OF present
day world problems; another on ..The
Price Of Progress" by Ex-Gov. Geo.
Carlson OF Colorado; and a third on
The Greed Of Bolshevism," by Frank
Dixson. AS the dramatic feature has
proven very popular in former years.
it has been well taken care Of in the
present program. The leading play
to be given this year is Zangwill's
The Melting Pot" The Bottom Opera
Company, the Chicago Saxaphone Sex
tette, and the Banda Roma, and Italian
aggregation, will furnish the principal
music.
One of the novelties OF this years
program consists OF an actual ex-
hibition of military flying by battle
plane, in charge of Liuet, Milo Miller,
formerly aviation instructor at Kelly
Field, Texas. This will be followed by
a lecture to be given by Major Ray
Bridgeman, who brought down eight
Hun machines during the war and per-
formed other notable exploits. HIS
address on "The Romance of Flying"
will be of unusual interest.
Season tickets at the usual prices,
with the war tax added, are now on
sale at the banks. The. Chautauqna
has become the great feature OF the
year at Manchester. and we confidently
predict that the patronage given it
by the citizens OF the town and vicinity
will be greater than during any prev
ious year.

PAVED ROADS FOR BLACKHAwK.

good roads. Last week, at a special
e,ecuon, a bona issue OF one and
nau million dollars was autnorlzed'
for the purpose OF constructing hard
surfaced roads to cross the county
north and south and east and west.
No doubt other counties will follow
this example in rapid succession.
Delaware county ought to be among
the first. The only way to get good
roads is to build them, 1t more than
pays in the end.
