This does «ot include anything «one ander the auspice* of other lo esls iter by directien of the county of free. All of the pcW locals had their part in the Acompl' vimcni and ne ,in conaideisille part is iu-j to the fa.ct that ever JA00 copies the Jcun jchiut are eirtulaSimg in the county. The So cialist column in the Graphic has also had ita effect Socialism is longer something to be ignorantiy eeoffed aside in Wil liams Co., and it is high time that the general mass of the Republican and Democratic parties should make au honest effort to find out something definite of this new force in polities which haa already captured the Sher if# office and beaten the Democrats for jpecond place in list of votes for county offices. The fact that the So delist candidate for congress received almost, UN) more votes in the county then the Democrat is most aignificant. People may say what they please about the personal characteristics of some individual members of the So cialist party—and some folks take nfinite delight in doing so—but when )ebs can beat out Taft and Roosevelt for president, then it must be admit ted that principles are uppermost in the minds of several hundred voters. There are individuals in the Social ist party that perhaps would not make the most enjoyable companions on all occasions, but we have even heard it hinted that an occaaional Republican or Democrat sleeps in the custody of the sheriff or warden of the peniten tiary. So cut out your spouting about the lazy ones in the 8odalist party and buy some books that will tell you the reason why nearly 1,000,000 men voiced a protest against the pres ent order of society. your objections.

W. C. T. U. NOTES. "Votes for Women" is a much dis cussed subject. At the last election four states voted to give women the ballot. We hear it stated sometimes that woman suffrage retards rather m, yet ian the suffrage amendment in Kansas carried by a majority of about 60,000, That women were given equal rights in Arizona, the newest state in the Union was not unexpected. All the political parties in the state had in doraed in their platform full suffrage for women. The amendment was adopted* in Michigan by a large majority, special dispatch was sent from Detroit to a Chicago paper, which says: MAs sured today by the returns from the county districts that they had won a victory, the leader of the women suf frage movement lost no time in an nouncing a campaign to drive the sdoon out of politics. This is their offi cial answer to the oft propounded question as to what they would do with the ballot if they had it" For the third time equal suffrage was voted on in Oregon and now won by a good majority. With Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Color alo, Washington and California al ready on the equal suffrage map there are now ten out of the forty-eight states in which the women possess full franchise rights with men. With such an impetus as the year's victories will give the movement it will continue until every state has given its wo men citizens full suffrage. It is believed that the question of woman suffrage will be favorably vot ed upon at the next session of the North Dakota legislature. The sub ject is receiving more favorable con sideration now than it did at the time tl the last asembly when it was defeat ed by a narrow margin. According to the method of amending our state con stitution the earliest possible date whe stitution the earliest possible date when full franchise rights can be given women of North Dakota will be in 1916. The women of Ohio and Wisconsin carried on strenuous suffrage cam paigns this year but lost. It is a fact that tiie brewery and liquor interests used every method however unscrupu lous to defeat the amendment in every state where it was an issue. In the saloon were hung posters declaring, "If you give women the ballot, do you think they will pe satisfied with the county option law? If you give wom en the ballot it will not be a year be fore state-wide prohibition will be se cured." Women are asking for the ballot be cause they believe in justice. There are many thousands of women citizens who pay taxes and if taxation with out representation was tyranny in 1776 it is tyranny in 1912. They know that it is for the love of money that mitted to the legalized liquor trffic that for the love of money, the bodies of helpless little children are broken upon the wheel of industry, that for love of money vice is permitted. In states wher women have been given equal suffrag they have taken up the serious study of civic and legis lative question so that they may vote wisely and help solve the questions prseented. Constitutional' amendment for pro hibition in West Virginia carried by a majority of over 84,000. There are now nine states which have outlawed the liquor trafBc. PROMISCUOUS CHARITY. This is the time of year when the professional beggar is abroad in the land and we need to be on our guard lest we are imposed on and encourage pauperism. The obligation to help the unfortunate is as universal as hu manity but it will be well for us to give thru regularly appointed agencies where we can be sure our gifts reach worthy subjects and that they are porpeVly administered. In this city, the Associated Chari ties is the regular channel thru which we may help the unfortunate and any applications for aid should be referred to the officers or to one of the local pastors who will make and investiga tion and help all worthy cases. Those who have clothing or gifts for aiding the needy will do well to give thru the Associated Charity. The Thanksgiving offering at the Union service is by custom given for this purpose.
