Judge Ives is the oldest news- paper man in the state, and he and Mrs. Ives have made the Cass Lake Times one of the most widely-read publications im the state, by their clean-cut humor amd comprehensive | grasp on public questions.

DER EERIE ae Those who failed to hear President ‘Vincent of the university of Min- mesota at his speech here Friday evening, missed one of the most bril ant talks ever given in northern (Minnesota. Every town in the state ghould have the opportunity accord- ed Grand Rapids of hearing the man whose wonderful command of lan- |purely selfish reasons; {blind thirst for personal power and houses is a2 most stringent one, cOv- jering every known form of corrupt practice whether through the use of money» or the bestowal of political favors. The amount of success with |which it will be enforced remains to ibe geen. While it may not live up lito the full measure set for it, the law will, without doubt, prevent the wood these days as the pine woods man with the fat pocketbook from | | having as many advantages over his poorer opponents as he has enjoyedi times past. Under the primary sys- tem it is an expensive thing to run for ofice, and if the corrupt prac- tice act corrects some of the fragran: fabuses of the past it will give the poor man a better show in the poli- tical game. a se The country as @ whole will not take kindly to the “third party” idea }of Colonel Roosevelt. More and more during the past months he has revealed himself im his true charact- er as a man who cares absolutely nothing for the interests of the coun fttry or the Republican party but is dominated entirely by the “rule or ruin” policy which has obsesser him ‘The progressives were actually in co trol of the Republican convention at Chicago, but their opportunities were thrown away through the selfishness of the leaders who would not con- sent to agree on anohter candidate and showed by such action that they represented, not only principal, but {their own personal interests. A great must compine self-sacri- fice with his other qualities. Theodore Roosevelt's actions show that he has not at any ttime beem actuated by cther than that in his leader aggrandizement he would tear asund- er the party he claims to represent rather than suffer personal defeat. No petter example of the wise old saying: ‘Whom the Gods destroy Khey first make mad,” lives today than Theodore Roosevelt, creator of tumult, discord and strife. ——— AN IMPOSSIBLE POSITION.

WILL WORK FOR POLITICAL RlGhTS |Representative Men and Women Organize Here For Political Equality. LARGEST GATHERING OF THE WEEK Forty Men and Women Sign Mem- bership of New Organization —Distinguished Speak- ers Present. At a gathering of men and women that filled the hali to overflowing a political equality club was organized here last Friday afternoon with a membership of forty. The meeting was held pursuant to a call by 16 representative men and women, Senator C. C- McCarthy pre- siding. The chairman briefly out- lined his views on the question of equal suffrage: stating that in these modern times a woman’s responsibil- ity to her family made it necessary that she be given a voice in electing the people who control the pure food, sanitation and public welfare of the nation. He believed that wo man should pring her ideals and cultural forces to bear upon our materialistic civilization and to do |this with dignity and directness she | must have the ballot—the most ef- fective weapon of self-government. | The chairman then called on At- torney-General L. A. Smith, who spoke of the modern trend of thought and that the capable wo- men should share with the capable man the right of franchise. { Editor E. C. Kiley of Grand Rapids | followed, with a brief resume of his reasons for believing that the ballot should be extended to women, and Editor C. M. Atkinson of Northome | also voiced his convictions along similar lines. Miss Mary McFadden of Duluth presented the fact that 7,000,000 working women in the United States were in the pusiness world without the representation to which they are entitled as producers for the world's! needs, and pointed out that 1,500,000 | women are enfranchised in this coun-) try, where the western states have broken down traditional barriers and raised their women to equal political freedom. Raymond F. Phalen, professor of the university of Minnesota followed, with a strong plea that the men and Women work together to secure the enfranchisment of the women of Min- nesota as one of the steps toward a time when men and women will vote in terms of humamity rather than (business convenience. Mrs. C. C. McCarthy was called to! the chair at the conclusion of Pro- fessor Phalen’s speech and the or- ganization of a club to work for Political equality was effected, with Senator C. C. McCarthy, president; Mrs. L. W. Huntley, vice-president, and Miss May Stanley, secretary. | Forty men and women signed the ro | of charter members, and it is ex- pected that the club will more than double its present membership at the meeting which will be called by the officers to finish perfecting the or- ganization and begin active work at once along the lines of extending the ern Minnesota.
