Many women in Bemidji are taking a keen interest in t}ne ,coming November elections and are taking every opport.umty which presents itself to acquaint themselves with the issues which the present political situation presents. The League 9f ‘Women Voters has been very‘active since its organization in interesting women in their new privileges and ‘duties, and is doing a wonderful work. There is,showeyer, unfort_unately, a very large numbers of women voters in our city and in tht'a sur- rounding community who do not seem to be as deeply inter- A 1d be in the exercising of their franchise. “Whether it is because they do not prize their franchise as highly @as they should or whether it is because they do not feel that it ““tnakes any difference whether they voter or not is hard to decl'de, but expressions are heard from time to time by women stating they do not know much about the things which are to be vgted upon and therefore they do not think they will “bother” to vote. . ; . . * When such women as the late Maria Sanford have devoted 80 great a part of their life to helping to secure the franchise for women it is surely something every woman should prize when secured and it is not by any means conferring an honor on the memory of such women to neglect this long fought for privilege. | While the great issues at stake at the coming elections are the placing of men in office who will carry on the business of - . the country in the most efficient way the' amendments to be voted on are of great importance also, €specially No. 1. No woman will vote against good roads who has taken the trouble to investigate the plan offered by this amendment to secure them. The farmers wife needs them to come to town over as well as her city sister needs them to get to the country. By all means every woman who has a right to' vote should exercise that right on election day and & woman who stays at home and neglects to vote for the amendments is in reality voting against them, . ) Every woman should vote, and vote for ‘Amendment No. 1. SN e -~ TELL IT TO THE EDITOR. . Every newspaper editor is desirous of printing all of the Jegitimate news of his subscription field. ;. Thats the object of his paper. “"But unfortunately an editor is partly human—he at least js moulded in human form. He does not' possess a dozen pair of hands; or legs, or eyes, or ears for the collection of this vast fund of information. s 24 That is why the editor urges you to tell him what you know—to keep him informed of the doings of yourself and family, of your friends, or of the community in general. It is the only way to make a good paper—and a good paper is one of the prime requisites to a good community in which to live and do business. Tell it to the editor. 3 . He'll tell others—if it is tellable. O vy I _— P ADJUSTING THE ECONOMIC LAW. The good news has been going round-and-round that prices ard tumhling down, and everyone except someone who sees his own profits cut, is happy over the announcements that appear . .. daily in the newspapers. If it were true that the sellers had this whole problem in their keeping, as many suppose, then we would find commodity after commodity being raised in price with the new freight rates-being offered as an excuse. But it is a mistake to suppose that manufacturers and wholesalers control the situation, for they in turn have to deal with new labor problems, new methods of marketing, increased charges for their supplies, and conditions in industry that they could not have dreamed of when they engaged in business. The economic law is a good deal like the digestive apparatus of a human being, and no one will assume that the latter is able to function naturally when it is being' stuffed to withstand trenches and service. 'But the economic law, like the digestion, usnally adjusts itself some way or other. Just now the country is /witnessing the struggles of the economic law to regulate and adjust itself, and there is every evidence that the American people are coming out of the present era of high prices all right. In th process it behooves them to abide by the old advice to will the country get back to an economic-condition that is good for ‘everybody. { | FROM THE PONEER TWENTY YEARS AGD e !0‘ #nd Thursday mornings. - l’r;uhyterinn church was a success throughaut.
