OO oo In her talk on “women in politics” | last Monday Mary McFadden stated a vital truth when she claimed the wight of suffrage for women on the| gtound of their difference from men, which makes it impossible for men alone to justly govern men and women. The question of the right of Women to self-government is one that is commanding the attention of | the whole civilized world. ia steady increase in the number of women wage earners and women in Why should not the wo- jman worker or the woman manager have the citizenship that the ballot eonfers? These who are working for political equality do not claim that the confering of the ballot on women twill remedy immediately the political) ills from which the nation suffers, but they do claim that it will broaden the field of woman's usefulness, give her more with which to fight for the protection of her home and children and place her fn her God-given sphere—at man’s side, his companion and helpmate in ll the problems of their common fife. The movement for equal suf- frage is one phase of the eternal warfare for human fliberty and, *as such, it must eventually triumph. —~—s- Grand Rapids will keep open house that ‘business. effective weapons this week for the best bunch ‘ever held a get together session—th | newspaper boys and girls of norther Minnesota.

Realizing the impor- tance of the association meeting, the Commercial clubs of the different towns which will be visited by the editorial members are making prepa tions that will insure a delightful outing for the visitors. It is a fittin thing that the Commercial clubs should be active in welcoming the writers of the north country, as in the development of northern Minne- gota no two factors are more im- portant or can work to better ad vantage than the Commercial club and the local journal. The club or- ganizes and propels the forces of development. The aper makes thei activities known and multiplies them hundredfold. The visit of the edi- There is| Aid society will meet with Mrs. Geo.

Roy Whipple was elected presi- dent and Peter Weigant secretary of the new association, and a united ef- fort will be made to secure some road facilities and to advance the interests of this section.

Reusswig, former member of the school board of District No. 1, by J. Lefevre, proved that the said J. Lefevre is capable of committing almost any crime on the calendar. The evidence jadduced went clearly to show ‘there was absolutely no reason to even suspect Mr. Reusswig of any wrongdoing. It also went to show that Swan Nelson accepted fifty dol- lars from the school district which he had not earned. The defense did zot call a witness. The case was submitted to the court at the con- clusion of the testimony offered by the state and the defendant was promptly discharged. Itasca county was put to considerable expense soley for the purpose of furnishing a political text for the man Lefevre, who wants to do something for whic he will be imprisoned, that he may pose as a martyr and ask for a de- fense fund. But the people here- abouts know his object and pass him up for the cur that he is. NEW BUILDING FOR COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS County Will Have Building For Township Exhibit Erected at | Fair Grounds. An additional building for the fair grounds, to house township exhibits, will be built this year, the county auditor having been instructed by the board of county commissioners t advertise for bids for material and labor. At the last meeting of the county | board a committee from the agri- | cultural association, Messrs A. M. Sisler, W- C. Gilbert, and Henry Hughes waited on the county fath- ers and urged the need of a build- |ing for the display of township ex- hibits. The new addition to the group of fair ground buildings will , cost approximately $1,00. A number of improvements to the fair grounds are planned for this year and all the buildings will be painted and put in good condition | prior to the opening of the 1912 fair. {The premium list for the present year is being prepared by the com- mittee in charge and -will be publish- ed shortly. ‘One of the special features of the \premium list this year will be the prizes for school children along dif- ferent lines of agricultural and horti- cultura] work. A large number of boys and girls throughout the county are busy, under the direction of the agricultural instructors raising fruits ‘and vegetables, which they plan to show both at the county fair and at the state fair at St. Paul.

William Jennings Bryan of Ne braska told the members of the Minne sota legislature plainly the duties of ae legislator as he sees them at a joint session. He joked with them good naturedly over the shortcomings of lawmakers in general and urged the enactment of legislation which would make the government essentially dem- ocratic, not, however, in the partisan sense of the term. The enactment of initiative, referendum and recall meas- ures, he declared, were vital in the process now goipg forward to make Jovernment truly representative,
