THE PROGRAM FOR
DECORATION DAY
lkERCISES WILL BE HELD AT
THE AUDITORIUM
Rev. A. T.. Camburn Will Deliver the
Address and There will be a
General Program

Governor Sleeper in an eloquent
proclamation has designated Friday,
May 80, as Decoration Day. After
recounting the deeds of heroism and
valor which were performed by the
gallant soldiers of the Civil War, the
Spanish-American War and the great
World War, which has just been
brought to a close, he says: "And l
earnestly appeal to the people of
plans for the observance of the day
in their respective communities, and
for special provision this year for the
comfort and convenience of the old
soldiers. Age is telling on them
physically but the same undaunted
spirit is there as of yore. On that
day flags should be displayed at half
staff until noon and then hoisted to
the top of the staff"
Rather in conformity to the spirit
than the mandate of the proclama-
ton, for no order would be necessary
to induce the people of Clio and vi
-cinity to honor the nations heroic
dead, the following program has been
prepared for Decoration day:
Music. Clio Brass Band

old rate in view of the fact that the
young man had been paid more.
"She then went to a bank where
she was asked if she could take
dictation and transcribe in po-tu-
guese, French. Spanish and English.
She said she was equally fluent in
the four languages. Then she ess
quoted certain salary.
Why, my mother pays her cook
exactly the amount you have offered
me- she said. Gentlemen, you know
that might take this small sum and
use it FOR spending change, but
cannot take it, because the neN
woman who comes here may have
four children to support or be other

sources. Gentlemen, l decline.

M. Lefebvre du Prey declares:
"They [women] are not prepared for
the political life which they wish to
enjoy. Men and women have talents
and aptitudes distinct from each
other and peculiar to themselves.
Votes for women will dis

confined to their children"

Twas my mother who nursed

"And mine also" M. Jean Bon

II have thirteen children" said M.
Lefebvre du Prey, land my wife
nursed them ALL At which there
was hearty applause in recognition
Of womanly function dutifully per-
formed.
M. Varenne, chairman of the suf-
frage committee, thought it prudent
to accord political rights to women
only in local elections. The prob
lem, he felt, should be solved by
steps.
M. Augagneur took exception to
such a proposition. at would be an
incomprehensible anomaly" he de-
clared, "to permit women to vote in
local affairs and prevent their voting
in general affairs"
When at length the general dis
cussion was closed the Chambre
passed on to the discussion of the
separate articles of the bill.

throughout, and his conclusion is
characteristic:
"Now that the war is over, that
war in which during five years
there was not a day when under the
action of generous impulsiveness
women at the front or behind the
lines would not risk their lives to
offer to suffering humanity the
double consolation of charity and of
beauty, we will admire with words
and with phrases their devotion: and
when they come, not to tell of their
noble devotion but to demand wheth-
er in truth they have not the right
to participate in the business Of the
French nation, can we betray the
traditional idealism Of the republic
and refuse these women their bal
lots? / cannot believe that this can
be-" And the official journal re-
marks, in editorial italics and paren-
theses, "The orator, on regaining
his seat, receives the fluctuations
of his colleagues"
And NJ. BRAND, concluding
brief but spirited explanation of his
vote in favor of the suffrage bill,
declared passionately that if the
question were whether woman could,
without DESERVING her fireside, try
to ameliorate conditions outside her
home-conditions which the men had
built up-if she could maintain her
place by the side Of man in her home
and at the same time take her
place by the side of man in public
affairs. then the answer must be in
the affirmative. And M. BRAND
therefore voted pour regalite des
droits de l'homme ct de la femme
universal" Whereupon the official
journal records opploudissement.

bill consumed the better part of

substitute bill providing for the ad-
mission of women and children into
the electoral body ION perfect equal
ity with men," Only, Of course, the
minors would not exercise their
rights personality; the father of the
family would do all the voting!
M. Landry and M. Breton ap-
proved this substitute proposition,
declaring it favorable to repopula-
tion-the more children the more
votes. At which the discussion
turned to the subject of repopula-
ton and M. Flandin made appro-
pirate remarks.
"1n clden times" he explained,
women were repudiated for ster-
ility. 1t was remedy for depopula-
ton far more serious than that
which is now proposed"
"To repopulate France" declared
M. Jean Bon, ut is necessary to
|recompense the mother for the riches
she gives to the country"
And so the Chambre des Deputies
now offers to reward motherhood by
declaring themselves in favor Of a
suffrage bill which they feel certain
will be repudiated in the Senate in
a few weeks.
1t is notable that NJ. Viviani,
whose stirring speech to the United
States Congress year ago thrilled
the entire country, came out strongly
in favor of suffrage, as did also

mier Of France.

M 1MEN of France, of all

charm, surrounded with
romance, basking in chivalry, and, &C
cordlng to tradition, radiating a sort
. Of spiritual patriotism that is their
heritage from the Maid of Orleans,
are to-day holding their thumbs and
wondering what the French Senate
will do with the suffrage bill which
recently passed the Chambre des
Deputies and is now awaiting the &C.
ton Of the upper house.
In France, as In this country, as
in England, as in every country
where woman suffrage has ever been
an issue, the general discussion of
suffrage did not sustain a logical
plane. The kind gentlemen wanted
TO give the ladies reward for their
services to their country during the
war, and so they conceded to the
cid demands Of the women. 1t has
been freely said. however, that even
Ate snvairous condescension was
displayed with the understanding
that the Senate would kill the bill
when it comes up for consideration.
Despite the fact that the bill
comes at moment in France when
the electorate is reduced by two
million men, who were killed in the
war, and French politics are in an
abnormal state, the arguments in
the Chambre dcs Deputies did not re,
fleet the abnormal times. They were
the same old arguments that have
bean used year after year in STATE

TRUTH ABOVE ALL THINGS
lncomparabIy the Best Business Asset
That Man or Firm Can
Possess.

A successful merchant, when asked
the question, "What is the best asset
Of business houseY said: "The best
asset business house can possess is
reputation for absolute truth"
Such was the exhortation lately
given to young man who has vet to
arrive, by veteran who, in well-earn.
ed retirement, can comfort himself
with the reflection that he has
been one Of the most successful busi-
ness men Of the age.
To the cynic advice of this quality
may seem. perhaps, to call up shades
of George Washington at the period
when "he couldn't tell ie." But
men Of sense long ago have realized
that, even should they brush the ques-
ton of morals aside and be content to
argue the matter from its lowest and
most cynical standpoint, the truth-tell.
ing policy still remains the best; in
fact, the only possible working policy
Tor the man who aims at any definite
and lasting success in business.
The truth-teller is, In short, the man
who stands to make good In the bust
ness field; he is the only man who
counts to any really vital extent.

New Rockford is again out for remov-
ing the capital from Bismarck to New
Rockford. Three years ago the ENTER
prising people Of that city launched a
vigorous campaign to wrest the admin
istration buildings from Bismarck and
for while it looked as though they
might make 1t interesting for Bismarck
to retain them. But the scheme fell
short Of its mark before it came to a
vote. Capital removal is like county
seat removal and the people of Penn
bina county are familiar with what that
means. 1t is costly undertaking to
say the least. New Rockford, like the
promoters of the county seat re-
moval in this county, say that it will
not cost the taxpayers cent to make
the change. We were told the same in
the case of the removal of the county
seat from Pembina to Cavalier. This
was several years ago. But we have
been paying interest on 100000 bonds
since then besides half that amount In
sundry expenses which would not have
been occurred had the people not been
mislead. 1t will cost the taxpayers of
this state over a million dollars to
change the seat of government from
Bismarck to New Rockford. Are you
ready to foot the bill.
