A London cockney was telling his friends how he had argued down his wife, who, on her way home from a woman suffrage meeting, had tried; to convert him to the cause. “She says to me: ‘wimmin, ought to ‘ave a vote.” “‘G’arn,” 1 says. “‘Livin’ "Il be better fer all of us if we ’elp makes the laws,” she says. “‘G’arn,” I says. “Well, Bill, she stopped after that. Me argigents were too strong fer ‘er.* g - Any argument agaist the female vote has no more to back it up than the bluster put up by the London cockney. Man’s eternal egotism plus the psycological paternal attitude, he bestows on womankind, -or thinks he does, makes it hard for him to reconcile himself to granting equal rights to his mother sister of wife. Woman’s emancipation is sooner or later going to be universal, and the sooner the farmer’s wife in every state in the Union has the privilege of voting, the better off will be the farmer. Will Help the Farmer. Why should the farmer be in favor of woman suffrage? Because there is no better way to double the rural vote and get the balance of political power which the men on the farm had before this nation changed from a great agricultural to a great in- dustrial country. Can the agricul- tural interests influence national legislation at present so as to obtain laws which will operate for the bene- fit of the country at large? The ans- wer is, clearly “No.” A< an instance of the way in which the farm interests are defeated, take ‘| the long and successful fight which the Department of Agriculture has been backing for some years for a national law provinding for strict inspection of all nursery stock which is sent into this country from abroad, | Millions of dollars are lost annually becauce of the pests which come in- to this country on diseased plants and shrubs. The Department at Washington has been attempting to protect the country by national leg- islation; they have so far been un- able to put through their bill. This is due to the opposition of about 14 McDONALD A CANDIDATE. Valley City, Dec. 7.—N. C. McDon- 4| ald, state inspector of consolidated, graded and rural schools, today con- firmed the rumors of the past few weeks that he is now a candidate for the office of state superintendent of public instruction, having decided to enter the race since Superintendent Taylor has stated definitely that he will not sesk the office again. THE NONPARTISAN LEADER Farmer and Woman’s Vote| . nurSery companies, whose lobbyists have been busy in Washington when the bill has come up and have suc- ceeded in preventing its passage. Here’s the Dumping Grond As a result of our laxness in in- spection this country has been the dumping grond for diseased shrubs and trees. It is said that Canada will not permit any U. S. nursery | stock to be shipped across her bor- der. This is comment enough to| show in what esteem our plants and shrubs are held. Meanwhile, the cost of raising crops, beset by in- sects increases each year. If the entire army of fruit grow- ers were once arouesd on, this ques- tion of lax inspection, would the ef- forts of a few importing nursery companies block legislation which wouldi provide for adequate inspec- tion? Not if the fruit growers could back up their demand for a law to protect us agaist diseased and insect-eaten stock by a sufficient. number of votes:. Increase the Ruraf Vote As things are at present, the farm- ers and fruit growers of this country have very little political power. There is one evident. way in which the farmer can double the rural vote and get back for himself the in- fluence which he once had to affect national legislation, and that is by enfranchising women. There - are many women fruit growers who are keenly interested in a law for pro- per inspection of nursery stock, adn or in a farming community knows the problems which confront the farmer. There should be some men in Congress who represent essential- ly the agricultural interests, who have known what it means, for in- stance, to fight foreign pests in their orchards, and who have been up a- gainst any of the other inconven- iences that the farmer suffers from through lack of adequate rural rep- resentation. Every farmer knows hz should be better represented: in agri- cultural matters in Congress. By en- franchising wemen the farmers can double the power of their votes, and only by so doing can they-expect to place men in Washington with agri- cultural and not industrial interests at heart. i U UL S L S N ROOSEVELT PASSES LIE Tacoma Washington, Dec. 7.—Re- quested for a statement about as- sertions made by William J.

REJECTED A WOMAN FARMER The woman farmer, Mrs. Geo. S, Ladd, who was appointed to the board of agriculture of Massachu-~ setts was rejected by the executive board last week. The coucil explain- ed in its rejection that Mrs. Ladd’s membership would deprive the mar- ket gardners of their representation, and that the farming interests gen- erally did not favor a woman on the board. Eventually a woman probably will win a place on the board, for there are so many women farmers who want representation.
