THE WOMEN OF AMERICA

The women of America have finally
come into their own. They have
made long and heroic fight and they
are victorious. By the adoption OF
the woman suffrage amendment by
the Tennessee legislature the mothers
of America have lead the world in
their conquest for the bailot-kave
accomplished another milestone in
the stride towards civilization.
There is not a fair minded person
in the nation who does not applaud
this victory of American women. The
results of which remain in a large
extend, an experiment.
What will women do with the bal
lot? That is the one big question
to be considered and the Herald be-
1ieves that it will be answered IN a
manner beneficial TO the nation.
Difficulties will arise in the ranks
of the new woman voter. She, too,
will to some extent, fall a victim TO
corrupt politics, but it is a safe e.
Innate that the results will not be
as QlSdSCrOuS DIS Wetc oAPoii 80
the days of the stuffed ballot box
and the ward politician. She will
make her mistakes, but on the whole
her influence will in large measure,
purify American politics.
In the ranks of the woman voter
there will appear the "Political Fllrt ,
the over enthusiastic reformer and
the hair Drained voter, but when the
final count is taken, it will be found
there are just as many evenly oal-
anced minds among the women of the
nation as men have developed.
America will be a bigger, better and
cleaner nation for it's recent grant OF
franchise to the motherhood of the
land.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-08-26

that the world, a sane and peace low
ing world owes this debt of graft
tude.
Snatching victory from an almost
hopeless defeat, Poland alone and
unaided, has given the invader from,
her door. Has stopped possible
continuation of the worlds war and
has put check to the worldwide
spread of Bolshevik sympathy among
the plunder-bound radical factions OF
the earth.
1t is a we'll known fact that Boil
shevik authorities planned a war
with France. That they planned to
seek the aid of defeated Germany in
another world-war and eventually a
conquest of America. 1t is a sad
state of affairs, but recent political
activities have given the world to
understand that this faction would
find support in certain circles in this
country. This must not be overlook
ed, for trivial as the possibility may
appear, it is a factor which must
be reckoned with.
The late defeats of the Russian
hordes at the door of Warsaw, is in
sense world victory and every
normal government must recognize
the heroism and sacrifice of Poland.

Fire Damages Big +
School Auditorium
st. Benedict's Academy Threaten
ed by Early Morn
ing Blaze

A fire of unknown origin was dis
covered at 3:15 Thursday morning
underneath the stage in the auditor
ium of the st. Benedict's Academy
at st. Joseph. The flames destroyed
the stage entirely and quickly spread
through the auditorium, burning the
desks floors and window sash. The
auditorium is in the new portion of
the building on the second floor, and
being of fire proof construction the
flames were confined to one the room.
The volunteer fire department of
St. Joseph responded promptly to the
alarm and a call to the St. Cloud de-
partment was answered by Chief
Moosbruger and Frank Scheibel, who
made record run to st. Joseph with
the big Waterous truck, and supplied
the department with an additional
line of hose. Chief Moosbruger speaks
very highly of the efficient work
done by the st. Joseph department
in controlling the fire which was en-
tirely out by five o'clock.
The damage by fire is estimated in
the neighborhood of $4,000 and the
loss caused by water and smoke will
probably amount to at least another
