One regrets sometimes that so much ef-} fort has to be consumed in the strug | gle for the franchise that might be put to constructive use along the lines where women’s help is vitally needed. surgent. Down the ages her voice bas rung in never-ceasing protest | against what was unjust, tyrannical and unwise in the laws of a man-rul-| ed world. “Unto woman, God, the Maker, gave the secret of his plan,’ sang one of our modern poets and it may be this that urges her into revolt against her present conditions, that urges her in- to the untiring struggle onward and upward toward the culmination of tkq@ vision, while man, the conservative and hesitating, follows. The alarm- ists do not meed to fear the result of the “woman movement” nor pro- phesy dire evils from the wide- spread unrest that characterizes the feminine portion of mankind. She is only listening to the inner voice that through all the ages has called to higher planes of thought and to a rea lization of what manhood and woman, hood may mean under sane and just conditions, and the divine unrest in her will.not.be.satisfied until.these Woman was the first in-| Northern Minnesota will heartily commend Judge Lewis of the Ram- sey county court for his wise de- cision on the Elwell law. An in- junction was asked which sought to lrestrain the state officials and the |members of the State Highway com- court of the state following the de- mission from constructing or assist- ing in the construction of roads un- that it was unconstitutional. The |question hung on the point as to whether or not a wagon road con- stituted a local improvement, and |Juesze Lewis’ decision in favor of this point would seem to be only logical osition to take in the matter, To residents of northern Minnesota the matter of road build- ing is such a vital problem that it is) nard for us to understand how any thinking person can claim that a} road adjacent to a farmer’s property does not greatly improve the value of his holdings, no matter how rich or valuable the land may be it is practically worthless unless the own- er has assurance of roads over which to convey his produce to market. Un- der the provisions of the Elwell law the state pays one-half the cost of the construction of highways, the county one-fourth and the lands abutting dr adjacent the remaining one-fourth. This law is the first comprehensive measure under which a sufficient number of good roads could be constructed to open up to settlers the vast territory of fertile | lands in which northern Minnesota is! rich, and the policy that would check al to those in touch with local con- ' ditions throughout the north country, where good wagon roads are the most imperative need of the times. , The matter of the constitutionality of ‘the measure will go to the supreme cision py Judge Lewis. and it is earnestly hoped that his wise and |der the Elwell law on the ground ‘just decision in ‘thé question will re- ceive the approbation of the mem- bers of that court and give northern Minnesota the opportunity to work j out her destiny as one of the richest producers among the agricultural dis- tricts of the nation. ————— TROUBLES THAT ARE NOT. | An elderly philcsopher, happy in a contented old age, has these words carved over his mantel: ‘TJ am an old man and have had many troubles, but most of them never happened.” Do you know that if you will just sit down before that motto and get it into your system thoroughly you will solve half the trouples of life. Ninety per cent of the misery and sorrow and gloom and trouble in the |world never happen. You just think they are going to happen. or fear they may happen, and so you shroud yourself in woe and, sit in sack- cloth and ashes worrying over {them. That's a very silly, but a very hu- man thing to do. If in your youth you can master the philosophy of that old man and jTealize now what perhaps he did | not realize until he reached the val- ley of the shadow where the sun of life is low on the western hills, it will make the difference in your life between happiness and unhappiness. this measure seems absolutely crimit« —Duluth Herald. || SOCIALHAPPENI NGS Se “For now the former things are passed away—'’ and the sunshine of another Hastertide is with us.
