Says Women Oppose League
"The Democratic managers took il
for granted that equal suffrage would
not be brought about in time for this
election, and did nothing toward rally
Ing the women. We assumed that the
women would be allowed to vote, and
ever since last January we have been
busy. early and late spreading the Re-
publican gospel among the women. Six
weeks ago nearly every woman in the
State of Maine was for the League of
Nations, because they approved the
general principle. They did not under
stand all Of the sinister features of
the Wilson League of Nations, nor all
Of the reasons why the Republicans
would not stand for it. Now that they
have had time to listen to our speaker
and read the facts, practically all of
them are against the League of Nations
proposition in its present form. Our
campaign has been so thorough this
year that If there is man OR woman
IN the state who has not heard from us
IN some way it is because he or she has
been away from the state most of the
time in the last three months.'

made brilliant record for activity.

THINKS SITUATION
DEMANDS ATTENTION
WATER USER URGES TAKING
OVER PROJECT TO
SAVE IT.
Editor Caldwen Tribune:

Editor Caldwen Tribune:
Dear Sir
If you will kindly allow me lit
tile space in your paper, I should like
to speak of some things that have
been prompted by recent reports from
Washington.
/ have poticed of late. that the ap-
preparations committee of congress
hesitates to appropriate funds for
work on the Boise reclamation pro-
ject, due to the fact that few of the
settlers on the project are in the act
Of fighting the reclamation service.
| can see where this committee has a
certain right to feel as ,ney do about
it. If | were in charge Of the public
funds | should be careful with them
too. Wouldn't you Mr.. Wateruser?
Since the settlers have taken the at
titude that they have in this suit, it
lamation officials that the project has
gone on at all: These men have APP
peared each time before the appro-
priations committee in congress and
plead for funds but have only been
allowed enough money to merely
keep the thing alive and consequently
we are suffering and will continue to
suffer until we are in position to CO.
operate with the government No
improvements can be expected, moth
ing but a continuous deterioration SO
long as the present attitude is main
tanned.
l am convinced that Reclamation
service officials desire to make sue
cess Of this project in spite of our eff
forts against them. Now, it seems to
me, it is time for US to wake up
to our mistake and say to the recla-
nation service that we are ready to
go down the line in cooperation with
them to successful conclusion Of
this mammouth undertaking..
We can admit to ourselves that
they have made mistakes but we must
also admit that we. too, have made
a few.
Without rejecting on the personnel
of the waterusers office, we can say
that they might just as we'll be in
Germany so far as any thing they are
able to do for us as our representa-
tives is concerned. We might as well
wave red cloth befort a mad bull
as to ask the water users office to
intercede for us in the things we wish
the government to 90.
In order to assure spirit of CO.
operation, we must either do away
with the water users association or
the reclamation service for they have
ceased to work together in our in
terests. AS we cannot get along with
out the latter, there is only one thing
left to do.
The Irrigation District offers a
chance for us to get out of this hole
Why not take advantage of it?
We will have MANY things to gain
chief of which is that we will restore
ourselves into the good graces of oui
now enraged uncle.
This is bound to come and delay is

A SKELETON.

George Harvey has seen the light
He has come to the conclusion that
the league of nations is dead issue so
far as the approaching presidential
campaign is concerned.
From the public viewpoint. the vet
Gran journalist is dead right. Ameri-
can people are thoroughly disguised
with the entire thing, Disguised with
the politics that the fight developed,
disguised with everything that per-
tains to league of nations. But Col
oneI Harvey reckoned without Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. Wilson,
il seems, is not content to let a dead
thing sleep, he insists on its resurrec-
ton and magnification for the public
again to endure the voluminious vol
ley Of words that its injection into the
campaign will surely mean.
The Tribune has repeatedly point
ed out that the very nature Of the
controversy makes it impossible for
definite alignment Of political par
ties on the league OF nations. OF the
membership Of the two parties. nei-
thcr is a unit in its stand. And the
differences Of opinion the many cot
cries, each with a we'll defined follow
in, make it impossible that clear
cut issue may be made of it.
OF all the positions taken relative
to injecting the league into the fall
campaign, none is more removed from
popular sentiment than that taken
and obstinately maintained by Pres
ident Wilson. Tn spite Of wholesale
assertions by partv leaders and many
frank admissions that platform ask
ing approval for full and unreserved
participation in the international sup
erstate means political suicide for the
Democratic party. Wilson continues
to insist that his arbitrary stand be
sumbitted to the arbitrary stand be
one vital campaign issue.
His stand is decidedly embarrassing
to other Democratic leaders whose
fingers are on the pulse of America
and who know that to follow the die
tates of Mr. Wilson Is certain obfit-
Grafton next November. Sometime
between now and the Democratic ma
tiona1 convention, his own party must
repudiatc President Wilson if he
maintains his present stand And
there is nothing 20 indicate that he
expects to change his mind.

COUGHING THE PUBLIC.

In spite OF the efforts OF govern
ment organizations, in spite OF action
taken by many municipalities thru
out the United States in the establish
ment of the office OF Fair Price"
commissioner. ordinances and laws
requiring merchants to affix the pur-
chase price of commodities to all ar
ticles for sale, in spite Of a growing
tendency by American people to do
without many articles whose price is
beyond reason and the curtailment OF
the use of many others, in spite OF
active campaigns waged to bring down
living costs as evidenced through the
organization of overall" clubs, prices
continue to soar and profiteering con-
tinues to flourish.
Notable among recent advances is
that OF sugar. 1t is safe to say that
no abnormal condition can satisfac-
torily explain the recent gyrating pri-
ces OF that essential food. 1t doesn't
matter that there exists a serious
shortage. it doesn't matter that con-
sumption has increased materially

dered when, last year the Cuban
crop was not purchased at price in
suring continued reasonable quota
tons on that price.
Nothing can explain the present
price of sugar other than that those
who now own the crop, recognizing
facts IS they exist, have deliberately
set about to exact an extorionate
price for that commodity from the
consuming public, price which
means, ct present quotations. about
$50 per annum per family. 1t is not
the producer who reaps the reward,
it i only that group who acquire SUI
gar At comparatively reasonable
prices and who have deliberately in
creased its price because they know
the public will foot the bill.
Fundamentally, The Tribune is op-
posed to government interference in
private business. But when disease

Brookings. S. D., July -5.-The
erasshopper infestation in South Da-
kota Is local in nature this year, says
g. L. Ford, extension entomologist at
state college. In fact it is so much
g that different parts of the same
iield may show a marked difference
IN the amount of damage done. This
tact has a direct bearing on the
spreading Of grasshopper poison.
In poisoning grasshoppers it is
necessary to broadcast the poisoned
Smnash only where the hoppers are
present. Since some parts of the same
field may be heavily infested and 9TH
er parts free from the pest, it is not
necessary to apply the poisoned bait
to this entire field.
Poison In Patches.
Every farmer who Is going to pois-
on his hoppers this year should make
a brief inspection of his fields the
day before poisoning. BY so doing he
will readily determine where the hop
pers are and where they ass, not. This
brief survey tells him exactly where
and where not. to poison.

will in many cases find that only
