IOWA WOMEN WILL VOTE.

Des Moines Capital: When inquiry
! is made, it is astonishing how few
people realize that the women of Iowa
will be qualified to vote for president
and vice-president at the next cleo.
ton whether the nineteenth amend
ment is ratified or not
During the thirty-eighth general as.
sembly that section of the code gov.
erning elections was amended as fol.
lows:
Provided. however, that the right
to vote for presidential electors shall
not be denied or abridged on accouae
OF sex, and that every woman who has
attained the age of twenty-one years
and who possesses all other qualifica-
lions requisite to the male voters,
shall be entitled to vote, the same as
men, at any election held for the pur-
pose Of electing presidential electors"
The section is further amended to
provide for special ballot for wom-
en-, and provision is made for women's
registration.
There are many states in the union
that have granted women the privi
lege of voting for president and vice
president, where full suffrage has
been withheld. Iowa, in accordance
with the above provision, will have it's
first experience with women voters
when the presidential election shall be
held. And the women are preparing
themselves for their new duties in an
enviable manner. Strong organiza-
lions are being built up and citizen.

The Pullman Bedroom.

/
Fort Dodge Messenger: We have
with us today the Pullman bedroom
1t exists not as a vague and horriffc
premonition Of something evil that is
likely to happen in the future of days
of congestion worse congested but it
actually is, it has its being, 1t is a
fact. And very stuffy fact it Is
withal.
|, A hotel keeper in Hartford, Conn,
was first seized with the insStration
to construct this ingenious torment
for his guests, and now a widely
known hotel in Detroit has converted
twelve of it's large sample rooms into
Pullman bedrooms, providing seven
ty-two "berths" in all, for each of
which it gets 81 a day. The theory.
as explained by the manager, is that
the potential guest will find the Pull.
man bedroom more inviting than the.
prospect of spending hours in search
of rooms elsewhere in the city. Doubt
less the theory is sound. Men some
times will do anything
Community baths TO each six pa.
irons. pasteboard doors and old.
fashioned visits by the bellboy to
arouse the sleeping guest in the
morning are features Of this new
service
One cannot help thinking bow ,his
arrangement could be improved by
putting flat wheel under one corner
of the cot in the Pullman bedroom;
and If live steam could be piped be-
meath the cot to alternate with re-
frigeration plant and the whole en-
shrouded with the panoply of real |
Pullman curtains, how nice and
homelike it would seem.

WHY DOGS LIKE TO RIDE.

/ Motor Life: In the old days OF
carriages, any dog would choose to
go out with driver rather than with
some pedestrian member of the house.
hold, presumably because he could
get more motion and faster motion
running with the carriage than with
the mere walker And, unless he
were trained to stay close to the We
hicle, he usually was quarter mile
ahead of it, no matter how fast the
horse might trot. The speed of the
carriage offered scant allurement to
the average dog. He preferred to
run ahead rather than ride as a pas
senger.
Then came the automobile For
the first time in his life the dog found
himself able to ride in something that
satisfied his speed mania.
Not in the case of cars alone does
this speed-thirst manifest itself. There
are hundred authentic instances of
dogs love for airplaining. Let dog
ride few times in an aarship and he
becomes an aero crank for life. On
more than one aviation field dogs have
made pests of themselves by gallop-
ing over to plane as it prepared to

Maynard's dog, you will recall. shared
with his master the honors of the first

Dogs are daft on the subject of
speed; because for countless cen.ur.
les, speed was the only thing that
kept dogs alive. BY speed alone
could the wild dog and wolf overtale
and pull down their prey. But for
that speed they must have starved.
Speed meant food. The greater The
speed, the greater the chance for food.
This knowledge, carried on through
thousand generations, is enough to
account for the modern dogs speed.
craving.
Speed almost meant safety to the
dog safety from the
tronger and larger and fiercer beasts.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
IN EARLY SPRING,

. Spring, / know thee! Seek for sweet surprise
In the young Children's eyes,
But have learnt the years, and know the yet
Leaffoided violet.
Mine ear, awake to silence, can foretell
The cuckoo's ftful bell
1 wander in gray time that incloses
June and the wild hedge roses
A years procession of the flowers doth pass
My feet, along the grass
And all you birds silent yet know
The notes that stir you So
Your songs yet half devised in the dim dear
Beginnings of the year.
In these young days you mediate your part;
/ have it ali by heart.
/ know the secrets of the seeds of flowers
Hidden and warm with showers.
And how, in kindling spring. the cuckoo shall
Alter his interval.
But not flower song ponder is
My own, but memorys
/ shall be silent in those days desired
Before world inspired
O brown birds, compose your old song phrases.

NEGLECT THAT HURTS.

Sometimes neglect Of matter that on the
face of it seems unimportant does lot OF harm.
Congress under pressure of questions OF vital
moment has given much time to debate, to IN
vestigation and to eleventh hour legislation;
good deal Of routine legislation has been ne
elected In the legislation that has failed to
gain attention and action is an appropriation
bill providing funds for naturalization courts,
officers and Offices and as a result many such
Offices have ceased to function. 1t is reported
from investigators employed by the ,lnte1na-
tional Council that in many factory districts
several thousand workers who have been urged
by their employers to become citizens and even
told that their employment depended on this
action have tried in vain for the past year to
take out papers. They have given up IN dis
eust: some of them have left the country; others
are in mood to listen to radical proposals
This is one instance Of neglect that lies as
cause of alien unrest. There are number OF
such causes that can be eliminated when there
is active supervision of handling OF aliens and
PROMPT attention to the recommendations OF
officers in charge Of the work. 1t becomes APP
parent that to some measure we make radical
ism by heedlessness."

PLENTY OF GAS
Consumers Company Reports
Ample Supply for Topeka.
Warns Against Use for Heating
Purposes, Tho.

Topekans got their first taste of
what it will mean to depend upon nat
ural gas for heating this winter when
the sudden drop in temperature came
Tuesday night. The gas pressure grew
when the majority of local families
had to eat cold suppers and go to bed
to keep warm.
Good Supply for Cooking.
L. G. Treleaven, receiver for the
Consumers Light. Heat & Power COM
pany, local, distributors. stated today
that there will be plenty of gas for
cooking this winter provided people do
not try to use it for heating. He said
he had a talk with John NJ. Landon,
receiver for the Kansas Natural at
Minneapolis and that Landon told him
he had closed a contract with the
Wichita Natural to deliver him 40-
900. 600 cubic feet a day this winter
Landon said if he received half this
amount he could give good service this
winter, Treleaven stated.
Pressure Low at Times
Il don't look for any serious trou-
tho there may be times when the pres
sure will be low. But the first cold
spell always is the worst, for people
are caught unprepared and every one
uses gas for heating. However, as
soon as Topekans begin to get up their
coal stoves and more gas is turned
into the mains, the trouble should be
practically over. The service may not
be quite as good as last winter but ]
