There is profound satisfaction
mong the leaders of both po
litical parties, that they have se
cured the United States a big
wheat crop.
The courses of Chautauqua
lectures by Congressmen would
be very successful if the govern
ment did not sometimes inter
fere and require these statesmen
to cdme back to Washington.
Great results are being accom
plished by the children's gard
ens, which arep lanted by the
kids, and watered, weeded and
hoed by father and mother.
Almost any day Washington
people may see a number of
large moving vans delivering the
records of the Thaw case at the
steps of the capitol to the United
States Supreme court.
When the mysteries of divine
providence are thoroughly ex
plained, it may be possible to
find some earthly use for militant
suffragettes, Mexican generals,
and mosquitoes.
Press Comment
Reasons Why Women Shoul
Be Given Vote.
Dr. M. Bott spoke at the cloa
of the school dedication exercises
to the people of Belfield Tuesday
afternoon.
1 he speaker contrasted the
social, economic and political
conditions at the beginning of the
nineteenth century, with those of
the present day, and showed that
the status of women, to a much
greater extent than that of men,
has been radically altered. This
holds true not only in the United
States, but also of European
countries. Seme of the latter
have recognized this fact, for ex
ample Norway and Iceland, and
have extended the franchise to
women. But in our country, too,
one-fifth of the states have now
woman suffrage.
How does it work? The most
satisfactory and impartial an
swer was obtained recently by a
committee of English women,
cdmposed of suffragists and anti
suffragists, who submitted a ser
ies of question to prominent men
living in woman suffrage states
and whose views were not known
in advance. Almost without ex
ception their answers were favor
able.
Woman suffrage, in those
states where it has been tried,
cuses neither ill feeling be
tween men and women, nor does
it impair the usefulness of women
in the home. It has brought
about needed legislation in a
much shorter time than former
ly, as witness the nine hour work
day law for wolmen, enacted in
Utah after two years of agitation
and in Massachusetts after forty
years.
Woman suffrage is necessary
in a democracy in order that all
adults may have a voice in the
government. The fear that the
ignorant vote will be increased is
groundless, for do not more girls
than boys attend our high
schools? And has not this been
true in years past? Is there any
reason why this educated ele
ment in cur community should
not participate in a government
that makes laws for women as
well as for men?
But will women vote, if the
franchise is extended to them?
Indeed, they will, as witness the
recent election in Illinois. Nor
is there a falling off in the percen
tage of their vote in those states
wher they have been voting for
years.
As there is no valid reason for
withholding the vote from wo
men and every reason for grant
ing it, every man should vote in
favor of woman suffrage, at the
general election, November 3.—
Belfield Times.
SUFFRAGE NEWS
At the recent school election,
the ladies of Wishek marched
to the polls under a banner with
the inscription, "Votes for Wo
men," and swajmped an unde
sirable candidate.
At the Pioneer Picnic at Car
rington, Mrs. Lulu Loveland
Shepherd, president of the Utah
W. C. T. U., gave a stirring ad
dress on "Why the ballot should
be given to North Dakota wo
men." An audience of nearly
2,000 people listened with great
interest, and showed their ap
preciation by frequent applause.
The action of the General
Federation of Womens clubs at
its biennial meeting in Chicago,
in endorsing woman suffrage,
has been received with great re
joicing by the suffrage workers
of North Dakota. The Chicago
Tribune sees in this action of the
federation, a prophecy that the
fight for woman suffrage is won.
A silver 'medal suffrage con
test was held at the Twelfth Dis

Year after year a clean milk
bill has been defeated in Massa
chusetts. One of the most ardent
workers for this bill, Mrs. Wm.
Lowell Putnam, is also an anti
suffragist. She tells of a series of
epidemics due to unclean milk
and wonders why the bill cannot
be passed. To quote her, "Do
we not remember the pain and
sorrow of those times? Have we
forgotten the months of suffering
which followed for many of the
victims? How long must these
things be? Will an apathetic
public allow its accredited repre
sentatives longer to barter chil
dren for politics?" It has been
suggested that she study the ex
cellent clean milk regulations of
Idaho, and other (places where
women vote. When the mothers
have the ballot it is unlikely that
children will be bartered for pol
itics.

A Picnic On
July Fourth
The Congregational and Meth
odist Sunday Schools Will Go
to the Little Beaver.
The Methodist and Congrega

arrangements to hold a joint pic

early start may be made.
Everybody is expected to pro

that enough food may be provid

people are requested to bring an
extra amount of food, and are
requested, if possible, to bring
sweetened lemon juice from which
to make lemonade after arrival
at the picnic grounds.
A nice program of sports and
amusements will be provided,
such as a ball gatae, foot races,
and other games of contest, in
which all between the ages of
five and sixty-two are requested
to participate. In order that no
unnecessary accident may hap
pen fire crackers and all other ex
plosives will not be permitted
either on the trip or at the picnic
grounds.
We are planning to give the
children a good time and have
an outing for the older people at
this time and you are invited to
participate in the movement.

S. A. Burns, a resident of Mc
Kenzie county, just across the
riyer about eight miles west of
Williston, is being held in the
Williams county jail for the mur
der of his neighbor, Helge Sexse.
Sexse was last seen about June
1 st. His body was washed

side near Nesson Sunday, June
7th* with a bullet hole near the
heart. A coroner's inquest was
held, the body was unidentified,
and was buried on the river bank.
Later it was exhumed, identified

deed to Sexse's land on which he
tried to get a loan at an Alexan

any money passing from Burns to

A mild winter and spring pre

become flies—when in the egg or when
they are maggots.
The problem of elimination of flies
is one of elimination of filth. No filth,
no files.

FUMIGATION WOULD BE PART
OF CLEANUP WORK.
Just now the insect destroyers
of human happiness are hiding
in "cellars, vaults and other
dark, damp shelters,'* waiting for
a good fat chance to lay tho
egga for the first summer bug
crop. It is of the utmost im
portance to catch the destroyer
of summer bliss and happiness
before the breeding season be
gins.
All the feminine provokers of
cuss words which, according to
all scientific report, bear out the
theory recently advanced by
Kipling concerning the female
of the species can bo put out of
the deadly claas just about this
time of tho year if destroyed in
their hiding places.
Fumigation is the best meth
od known to science to kill tho
hibernating pests. Fumigation
should therefore bo apart of the
regular work of cleanup week.
Neglected flowerpots, buckets,
barrels, broken china, chick
en pans, water troughs, a gutter
and a water spout are a few of
the places in which inaects
breed and should be removed.
