These lic instruction and they show that since 1906 there has been an in- The total number of pupils has increased from 248,985 to 262,027. A notable in- crease is shown in the number of li- crease of 1,560 teachers. braries in the schools, the number of volumes having grown from 800,000 to 2,225,000. The report shows that in the com- mon school districts the wage for male teachers has advanced from $48.63 in 1906 to $51.47 in 1910 and that for women in the same dis- tricts there has been an advance of from $38.83 to $42.67. In the in- dependent districts, however, the lim- it is considerably higher for men, it being in 1910, $109 as an. average and $55 for women. Continuing, the réport says: “The ped capita cost of educating the people of the state has been in- creasing during the past year. At the state university, the per capita cost in 1909 was $106.71 which rose to $177.39 in 1910. In the normal schools of the state at the same-time there was an increase of from $80.39 to $81.30. The high schools show a jump of $31.82 to $34.72 for each The rural and ungraded schools spent $18.79 per capita last year, an increase of about pupil in attendance. $1. In the teachers’ training classes there has been a decrease, the only one noted, from $7.63 to $7.36. “Many of the county superintend- ents complain about trouble in get- ting good teachers and in Polk coun- ty most of the instructors come from the training classes attached to the high schools in Crookston and McIn- tosh.” It is probable that Beltrami, also depends to some extent on those schools for her instructors. The re- port tends to show that there are not enough trained teachers to meet the ever increasing demand and while there seems to be some adyancement made in the way of increases of wages it is likely that still more money will have to be paid before the desirable and trained teacher is available for all of the districts in the state. WHY NOT LET THEM VOTE. Sometime during the next few days the senate will vote on the bill proposing the submission of a con- stitutional amendment, extending to women the right of suffrage, and it is more than likely that the bill will pass that body. It may even be acted upon favorably by the lower house and that would mean that it will be up to the men of Minnesota to say whether it is proper to permit women to vote. Tt is needless to go into the thread- bare argument used on both sides of this question. Those who oppose winter; 75| Distributing Point—Lumber | Paul, 230 miles; to| the entrance of ‘women lntd";polftiué assert that her realm is the home while those who favor the innovation declare that the ballot in the hands of the women would mean a long step forward in the way of political purity and reform. Often it is said that women do not wish to yote but enough of them in Minnesota are suf- ficiently eager that they bombard every incoming legislature with pleadings that they be permitted to join in the festivities on election day. It is a question which the oppon- ents to such a bill as is now pending in the senate have hard work defend- ing-in its last analysis. It is easy to say: “They don’t want to vote” or “A” woman’s place is in the home, training her children to be good citi- zens” and that it is not a pleasant thought to contemplate our mothers, wives, sisters and sweathearts being besmirched by the mire of politics. It is quite another thing, however, to prove that our homes would mot be just as cheerful, our children just as well or better trained and much of the filth and mire and corruption, wrought'by cunning politicians, re- moved if the women of the land were to be invested with the sacred right, of elective franchise. Granting, however, that there would be a few reforms and that practicaly the same conditions as; now exist would be continued, the un- alterable fact remains that we are not backward about compelling our wo- men to pay their share toward the expense of maintaining our elections, our legislatures and the cost of oper-| ating government in all ‘its branches. We are compelled to admit that wo- men are intelligent enough to own | property but we balk at the idea that she can retain her womanliness and at the same time go to the polls on election” day and voice her con- victions as to who shall fill the of- fices of the government of which she and her children are a part. Few admire the unladylike mili- tant methods adopted by the loud- voiced suffragettes of Englind and these same suffragettes have done more to delay the cause for which they do such foolish things, than any- thing else. To the credit of the wo- men of Minnesota, it must be said that not only do they fail to follow but adopt saner and more admirable tac- their violent English sisters tics of peaceful but persistant argu- ments. Probably it is true that a majority of the women are ready to say that they do not care to vote but that is largely because they simply have be- come accustomed to denial of the right which we extend to our wel- come but frequently ignorant broth- ers from across the sea who, as Gov- ernor Johnson used to say, do not know whether “Rep.” stands for Re- publican or Reprobate or “Dem.” for Democrat or Demijohn. We are in- clined to believe that it would be quite as safe to have the women of our ‘land pouring ballots into the boxes on election day as to have, as is at present the case, hordes of men often mere puppets for the benefit of others, voting early and often. Incidentally, women did not vote in Adams county, Ohio, or in Danville, Ilinois. It might not help much to have women vote but surely the general effect could not be harmful. not give them a chance?

Y., March 7.—The New York state board of charities, in its annual report to the legislature, rec- ommends the establishment of a mil- lion-dollar farm colony for tramps and vagrants. It points out that these classes are now kept practically in idleness in the penitentiaries, jails and workhouses at an annual cost of $2,000,000, whereas, following the ex- ample of a number of countries of Eu- rope, they could be humanely main- tained and cared for in farm colonles, which. could be made self-supporting through their labor.

A" VALUABLE ~SUGGESTION Information of Imnortance to Every- one. A great deal of pain and suffering might be avoided if we had some knowledge of physiology and the care of the body, particularly those parts that do the most work and should al- ways be kept strong and healthy. In an interview with a prominent physician he states that people should pay more attention to their kidneys as-they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremend- ous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. ally, when we live an indor life, the kidneys should receive some assist- ance when needed, as we take less ex- ercise; drink less water and often eat more rich heavy food, thereby forc- ing the kidneys to do more work than Nature. intended. Evidence of kid- ney trouble, such as lame back, in- ability to hold urine, smarting or burning, brick dusk or sediment, sal- law complexion, rheumatism, may be weak and irregular -heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more ser- ious trouble. /An herbal medicine containing no minerals or opiates has the most heal~ ing influence.
