three "Free Presses in the flfty-three
counties of the state.
The management of the league
paper doesn't seem to take even half
the interest in it now that he did
when he owned it himself. And what
applies to the Free Press applies to
nearly all the league papers through
out the state. Over in Logan county
the league paper had eight different
editors in year, and were withou,
part of the time. The same holds
good in other counties.
These conditions cannot help but in
fuence materially the action of 'he
voters this fall when they are called
upon to designate their county official
newspaper by ballot.

The suffrage battle has finally end
ed, and women will vote on all matters
and all issues this fall. This is a
result that has been apparent for
some months, only the actual date of
women's participation fully in polit-
ical affairs being left to determine.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion of the suffrage question in
past years. The South has been op-
posed because they feared greater
trouble over the race question in the
south.
Many people of foreign birth whose
training has been different than ours
lave had . deep-rooted feeling against
suffrage for women. But the women
have finally reached the point where
their vote will carry the same weight
ks any others.

One needs - go away from hons
for time to appreciate some of the
things at home. We are thinking of
Seeman Park. Linton has one Of the
most beautiful parks in the state.
Beaver Creek is sufficient to make an
ideal summer resort on small scale.
In Minnesota, every little one-norsc
lake has its bunch of inexpensive sum-
mer cottages scattered around. See
man Park is free to the public for
picnics, etc. It is equal to many
of the places in Minnesota that draw
people from far and near and which
stick one up for plenty of real money.
Seeman Park will one day be most
valuable asset to the county and the
county seat.

The national campaign is developing
speed from day to day. Cox ana
Roosevelt are spending most of their
time lambasting Harding, the republi-
can candidate. And Cox has finally
reached a position where he claims he
stands on the same ground in foreign
affairs as Woodrow Wilson. If he
ever had a chance of victory, that
would surely defeat him. Aa de-
velopments on the other side come
to light, more people are being con-
WINGED that Wilson's league of nations
would have let us in for mess of
trouble.

1t is now up to the women of che
land to show that they wanted the
ballot, and that they will inte.'igentiy
try to- use it for the best interests OF
the state. and nation.
In North Dakota there IS every
reason to believe that the coming Of
suffrage will help to hatsen the final
overthrow of socialism. In the first
place, the socialist beliefs carry such
a degrading standing for women that
they can hardly be expected to WEI
come to ownership by the state idea.
In the next place, the average women
today is better educated than the av-
erage man. More women remain in
school through high school and college
than do men. Ignorance has had
much to do with the present condi-
tons in the state. Men vino were
poorly educated and who knew little
about conditions off their own farms
have been the first IN fall for socialis;;
propaganda, as rule.
The strength that Minnie j. Nelson
has always displayed against the
Townley forces is another indication
of what may be expected when women
are allowed to vote on all PROPOSE
tons.
But the thing that the women must
not overlook is the Importance of get
ting to the polls. It is well-knowr
fact that the great share of those who
are sticking by the Townley crew in
the face of the record made by them
to date are fanatical in the extreme
and that they will get their women
to the polls no matter what the
weather. The independents are more
liable to fail to register their votes.
Many women do not like to go to
the polling places with its usual col
lection of men folks. It is up to
women folks in the various commune
ties to make it their business to see
that sufficient interest is show by
their women neighbors to get out and
vote.
If all the women will take an inter-
est in political matters. their vo:e
will be good thing for the country.
If the better class of women voters
refuse to use their right, and the
other class are added to the manipu-
lated element in politics, then suffrage
will prove detriment instead of a
benefit.
| The league bosses will have another
rrob1em to face. and that is the pos
sibility that larger percentage of
women will turn out to vote in the
cities than will be the case in the
country, especially if the weather is
bad.
Our political prophesy is that the
great bulk of the women vote will
split up on public questions in about
the same proportions as their men
folks. In great degree, women suf-
frage will be but doubling up of
the former vote. The family is gen.
orally the unit. The sympathies and
interests of the various members of
the family are generally identical.
AS rule, a family in which the head
has been rampant Lacquer during the
last few years will likely add some
women league votes under equal suf-
frage. And when the opposite opln-
ions have been held by the head Of
the house, the Independents will gain.
This will not always be the case.

The so-called German department
of the Free Press that really flourish
ed only two or three weeks before the
primary election has certainly become
a joke. We may expect it to. take a
temporary new lease of life two o.
three weeks before the fall election
and then to be completely abandoned
when the political requirements are no
longer pressing.

But it will result generally, we believe.
We doubt if as many crooked poll
ticians will be found among the wo-
men as there has been among the
men, and women suffrage should pos
sibly raise the tone Of political con-
ditions. -

SPEECH OF ROOT
MIsSTATEs FACT
Secretary Colby Calls New Yori
. Man-As To Article Ten.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Secretary
Colby issued a statement tonight as
serting that there was "a plain mis-
statement of fact" in the recent ad-
dress made by Elihu Root.
Mr.. Colby addressed his, state
ment particularly to the question Of
Article 10 Of the covenant as pre-
sented by Mr.. Root.
"Mr. Roots statement that Article
10 is "an attempt to carry. over and
continue for all time, as part Of the
organization to preserve peace and
exercise Of power by the conquering
nations in closing the war, is a plain
misstatement of fact" Mr.. Colby
said. 'Indeed, it is a complete inver-
sion Of the truth.
"His further objection to the sub
stitution in any event Of physical OF
armed force for the moral force
which is relied upon in the other
provisions Of the covenant indicates
a complete insensibility to the in
tents or lessons Of the worlds re-
cent and narrowing experience.
"The idea Of an international
court Of justice, TO which Mr.. Root
has just contributed his enthusiastic
labors, has admittedly been lifeless
thing hopelessly beyond realiza-
ton" 500.

will, she gave to charitable institu-
tions of the city Of New Orleans about
100000. She died in 1882. Her
parents were Irish immigrants who
died of yellow fever. When quite
young, she married an Irisbman of
ber own rank, who also died shortly
after the marriage, and year there
after she lost her only child.
The childless widow became a
laundress in the st. Charles Hotel,
and afterward entered into the bak-
cry business in which she was emf
nently successful. Her whole life was
devoted to charities, Catholic, Protes.
tant and Hebrew alike. She never
learned to read or write, and could
not distinguish one figure from an
other. Her will is signed with a mark.
The fund for the monument was
obtained by popular subscription. Her
funeral sermon was preached by the
archbishop; the business of the city
was temporarily suspended, and a
thousand orphans, representing eve
ry asylum in the city, occupied seats
of honor.
Will-making is one of the most i'm
portant privileges given by society
to the individual; many persons take
good care to vent their spleen, and
in sarcastic terms, take final hit
at an unffiendly world, and express
without reserve opinions about per-
sons and things. We have the will Of
the Englishman who left to aSthank-
less kinsman the picture of viper
biting the benevolent hand which fed
it, and the will of the Tennessee tes-
tator who referred to his nephews and
nieces as "illegitimate children;;" in
both cases suits for damages were
brought by the ones libeled, and,
strange to say, they were successful
~ maintained.
But fortunately, the disappoint-
ments of life, its ills and strifes are
not the most frequent remembrances
in wills; some Of the sweetest and
purest sentiments Of the human heart
are often contained in these legal
monuments. Friendship and affection
are. often referred to and remember
ed substantially, and public charita-
BILE bequests' yearly exceed business
losses in the United States. and, it
may be added, that only one will in
600 is successfully contested.

ION Docket.) :

bles provided that there should be
only one funeral and one funeral
feast" .. =.
The feast was an essential feature
among primitive peoples, and we see
it degenerated in to the "Irish wake"
which still survives. The "ecclesiasti-
cal wake" in Scotland and Ireland
had formerly a much wider signfiic-
ance than at present and was: a vigil
kept rs a church celebration; it was
an all-night service of prayer and
meditation in the church in coinmenl-
grafton of some important event in
the affairs of the parish church. These
wakes are, to some extent, still kept
in many English rural parishes. "
Excerpts from certain early English
wills are in point, and may not prove
uninteresteiHg: )
The will of Thomas, Earl of War
wick, who died in 1401, contained this
clause: 81 will that'all my friends at
tending my funeral shaFhave good
entertainment, viz, supper overnight
and dinner next day." ~.
In the will of Sir Thomas West,
Knit. who died in 1415, we find this
provision: II will that not more than
xl c be laid out in meat, drink and ta-
.pers on the day Of my burial; and
that xiv G be given two priests to
celebrate divine service for my soul
for two years after my decease, as
also for the souls of all my progeni-
tors and all faithful deceased"
The will of Robert Fabyan, Knit,
who died in 1911, provided: ~ will
that myn executrice doc purchase
ayenst my burying competent brede,
ale and chese for all corners and at
said-church competent brede, ale,
chese, pieces of beffe and moton and
rost rybbs of beffe."
Dame Maud Say, wife Of Sir Goef-
frey Say, who died in 1859 provided
in her will: "I desire that no feast be
made on my funeral day, but that
Immediately after my decease, my
corpse be carried to burial covered
|only with a cloth having a red cross
thereon" S;5;,TI223s:, Is

Reading the Will" and the "Fun'
eral Feast" are customs which have
come down to US from very early
times. The historian finds vast a.
mount of literature devoted to these
subjects, and celebrated painters and
poets have depicted them. What more
dramatic subject can be suggested
for the brush or the pen than the one

Goethe has synically said, 'There
is something at the bottom Of every
mans heart which, if we knew it,
would make us hate him. Most wills
are read and probated within two or
three days after the testator's burial
sometimes, it would seem, with al
most indecent haste. Let US observe
an imaginary group as it sits to hear
the will read, for it gives US room
for thought and speculation; there is
the table, cleared of it's usual orna-
ments, except possibly an inkstand'
and the man of law solemnly opens
the document encased in its paper
shroud, and reads to the silent and
expectant listeners that which may
govern the whole future tenor OF
their lives; the thoughts of some, per-
haps one, on the lone grave or empty
chair, remembering the endearing
qualities of the departed and their
own irreparable shortcomings; some
present for the sake Of form, who can
have no part in succession, merely

tator, or what he left behind him
