AMERICAN BORN
VOTERS.
WOMEN
When is an American-born Woman
A Legal Voter and When Not.

When is an American-born woman
a legal voter and when is she not a
legal voter?
This is a question that was a
curiosity of the recent election ami
which caused many a bitter argu-
ment at the registration and voting
places.
A woman born in the United States
who had married non-citizen-
Canadian, Scotchman. German or
what not-often found herself de-
Lied the ballot while, following her
into the polls and accepted as a
voter, might have been a foreign
woman who had lived In this country
only a year or two and who could
hardly speak a straight English word
1t appears that this law was pas
sed by Congress in 1907. A woman
becomes automatically what her
husband is. If he is an American citi-
zen and he marries her the day after
she lands in this country, she in
stantly becomes an American citi-
zen and can go from the altar to
the polls. On the other hand, an Am
erican woman whose ancestors may
have come over in the Mayfower,
and as a spinster even may have vot-
ed one or more times, becomes ex-
ratriated the instant she marries
recent arrival in this land. If, for in
stance, he IS a Canadian, she i'm
becomes a Canadian and
has no right to vote in her native
country.
No doubt there are a good many
arguments for this law, but surely
1t isn't justice.
What do you think about it?

Robberies Near Protivin.

A series of robberies have been
committed near Protivin this fall,
and Fred Lukes, a farmer living
over in Winneshiek county, seems to
lave been a victim to more than his
share. Last Wednesday evening be-
tween 5 and 6 o'clock the last ROBBERY
occurred when Mr.. Lukes missed
$500 or $4,000 from his home. He
at once notified sheriff Ferrie Of
Cresco who sent to Oelwein for
pair Of blood-hounds and .their ow-
ner, Mr.. Fox, came with them to
Cresco and on Thursday they and
sheriff Ferrie proceeded to the scene
and the blood hounds were on the
Job at once. They "hit the trail"
which led them to the home of a
neighbor where the guilty party
lived--a young man who plead guilty
and signed written confession.
Being in Winneshiek county he was
taken to DEBORAH where he was held
in custody awaiting trial and prese-
Times.

The Woman's Vote.

Ihe woman's vote has nowhere
been separately computed, and it is
no4 known and never will be known
just what has been the affect OF
thei, participation in the election.
1t ts agreed however, that they vot-
ed heavily as a rule and that in
large areas where the fight was warm
they voted very heavily. There is al
so a consensus of opinion that their
vote helped to swell the Republican
majorities in a proportion somewhat
in excess of the ratio recognized and
prsIeably existing in the vote of the
nes. Beyond this. the very presence
of the women at the polls was dis
eotraging to any plans of rough
house methods at the election and
probably thus contributed very ma
terialIy to the sudden development
of undreamed-of Republican ma
jorifies in Missouri and Oklahoma.
Ard aside from any partisan issues
the striking feature of all was the
master-of-course fashion in which
the women's vote was rallied at the
polls, east in the regular way and
neEsed in the general voice of the
people. The names OF the women
swoiled the registry lists and added
to She delays in getting voters by the
registry clerks. and the delays were
annoying as well as due probably in
pars Of lack of foresight in the pre-
partitions for the election; but from
the difficulties this time 1t will be
leasaed how to manage better the
Hexs time.
So Bar as 1t has gone, the common
verdict is that the Nineteenth
Amendment is a success, says the
Iowa Forum.

can give Jimmy Wilde a real dangerous
fight
Patsy, who is a Philadelphia, has
twice met the extremely clever little
Rriton. and on both occasions Wallace
has given the champion real opposition
The first battle saw Jimmy reclining
on the floor for a short period, though
he was not anywhere near knocked into
state Of dreaming. Jimmy won this
encounter
In the second match Wallace all but
Knocked out Wilde in the seventh round.
ana lne decision was again given to the
Englishman. However, Philadelphia
newspaper men who saw the fight say
Wallace was entitled to the decision.
Freeman Bernstein, a Quakertown pro
moter. has offered Wilde S25, 600 to
meet Wallace in a twenty rOunder with
in two months time, and has offered
Patsy $4,000. Wallace has accepted, but
wilde evidently prefers to remain back
in his home soil
other offers were made by this pro-
moter, but none have been accepted by
Wilde
vs. H9ce is now a big favorite with
cons and Patsy says he is
confident that he can knock Wilde out

will be In the city for the event and will
act as starter.
This will be the first time that the
national association has sent man here
for one of Wehrs races and he is anxious
to show them that he has developed soma
real talen since he has been in charge
of the game.
The postponement in the date of the
race gives the riders another week to
get in shape for fast spin and, from
the way they are training daily on the
north side track, Wehr expects the time
for fifteen miles to be the fastest ever
registered in indianapolis.
Originally the race was scheduled to
be held over the Garfield park course
Sunday, but the riders found objection
to the south side track and therefore
Director Weir announced the postpone
ment until Sunday morning, Aug. 1, at
