Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels.

Experiments in the use Of poison gas
in exterminating grain-eating ground
squirrels are under way, according to q
report Of the county horticultural COM
mission to the Los Angeles board Of
supervisors.
at the same time it was announced
that Los Angeles county has sold its
surplus stock of saccharine and strych-
nine to Orange county in order that
the neighboring county can join in the
campaign being waged against the de-
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commis-
sioner Ryan, the use Of poison gas Is
necessary at this time because the
SQUIRRELS, which have been practically
eliminated from the worst affected re-
gions in the county by the use of poi.
sons during the past few months, fail
to eat the poison at this time, pre-
ferring the new vegetable growth.

Some books are edifices to stand as

Newly Painted Windows.

To prevent newly-painted windows
from sticking, open and run them up
and down two or three times day
for three or four days. Unless this is
done the windows are almost bound
to stick. Always paint them as early

them a chance to dry before you fast

Judgment for the plaintiff, or defendant,
according to the popular vote Of county,
the community would be disguised with
the folly, injustice and iniquity Of the pro-
cceding."
The members of the State Legislature
are State officers and they might well
follow James A. Bayard and John M.
Clayton, who said, "The representatives
of the people in the Legislature, though.
in general bound to respect the will of
their constituents, are also bound to exer-
else their own Judgment, and to oppose
that will, when it invades individual
rights, or violates the principles of the
social compact"
The highest court of Delaware has also
given its construction Of the duty of the
legislator to the people of the State and
not merely to the people of his district.
Here is what it says: "The doctrine of the
common law is, that a member of a legis-
lative body, although elected by particu-
lar county or district, lis bound, in the
performance of his functions, TO act not
merely for the benefit of his own con-
stituents, bus for the whole State. The
opinions and will of his constituents ought
always to command the most respectful
attention; but If clearly opposed to his
deliberate judgment, to the principles Of
the constitution, to the dictates of sound
morality, or to the public welfare; as an

She said there is no reason 10 doubt that
ratification will come The only thing is,
will Delaware give 1t now, or refuse; then
it will bc postponed for fraction Of q
time. Connccticutt, she said, will be the
next. A majority Of the members Of the
Legislature have asked the governor 70
call it, as has also the Republican State
Convention, just held there.
She said Delaware is asked to do ma
tional thing, and has a wonderful pppor-
tunity. She lauded Lincoln and Jcffer-
son, for their work in behalf of humanity
Both, she pointed out, had pointed out
that people must give their consent before
they can be governed.

MISS ROWE IN REBUTrAI.
Miss Rowe replied in behalf of the
"Anti's." She said women Of Wyoming
were francbised when they came into the
State. Every great law, she said, has
originated in o male suffrage State.
In Colorado children six years old work
in the sugar beet industry. Women vote
there, but that has not been corrected.
Men vote because at some time in every
mans life he is potential defender OF the
country. That, she said, is the basis of
manhood suffrage. Laws cannot be en-
forced except through the translation Of
strength iAmerican manhood Woman 3

Here are quotations from tho highest
court of Delaware, composed Of tho most
eminent judges of the State who decided
unanimously that there could be no
referendum in Delaware unless the con-
stitution expressly authorized it:
.The sovereign power of this State,
resides with the legislative, executive and
judicial departments. Having thus trans
ferred the sovereign power, the people
cannot resume or exercise any portion of it.
To do SO would be an infraction of the
constitution, and dissolution Of the
government"
"The powers of government are trusts
of the highest Importance. on the faith
ful and proper exercise of which, depend
the welfare and happiness of society.
These trusts must be exercised in strict
conformity with the spirit and intention
of the constitution, by those with whom
they are deposited; and in no case what
ever can they be transferred or delegated
to any other body or persons: not even to
the whole people of the State.
"If the legislative functions can be
transferred or delegated to the people, SO
can the executive or judicial power. The
absurd spectacle of a governor referring
it to popular vote, whether criminal,
convicted of a capital offence, should be
pardoned or executed, would be the sub
iect of universal ridic,lle, and were a court
of Justice, instead of deciding case them

honest and upright man, he ought not TO
obey them The representative owes to
his constituents, not only his industry, but
his Judgment; and he betrays, instead OF
serving them, If he sacrilices it to their
opinions"
STRONG PLEA BY MRS. GAIT.
Mrs. Gait told of the conversion Of q
Western woman through o letter from her
son, who had Como to Wyoming, to the
effect that the best laws had been placed
on the statute books, also through letter
from her daughter, who told her that the
business women need the vote. Mrs. Gait
said because of the times, more women are
being forced out into the industries, where
they cannot get their rights, except through
the strike, the labor union or the ballot.
The question is shall women have their
normal means of preserving their rights?
The difference, she said, is that the suf-
fragists see the changes that are coming
and are preparing for them, while the
anti-suffragists do not see the changes.
Mrs Gait said she was n voter. "Then,"
she said, Tets talk politics" She told of
the activities of the great political parties,
which are trying to get the woman vote.
She told of one woman who had been
offered high political honors, but had re-
fused TO join any party until the women of
the country were franchised. States that
have had equal suffrage have been pleased
