THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
Of the 105 counties in Kansas, 85 are
without a pauper, 25 have no poorhouses,
and 57 have not a criminal cast on th
docket In Kansas, women hava had ful
municipal sufferags since 1887. .
If during these 1 8 year woman had
neglected their home for politic as th
opponent of equal right prophesy that
they will, half the men in Kansas would
hav bam brought to th poorhouses by
lack of thrift and domestic industry on
th part of their wive, and tha rising
generation would hav gone astray and
filled th prisons to overflowing, for want
of motherly can. Juet th opposite has
happertod. This is another illustration of
th fact that -It is Ml to argue from
prophesy when we can argue from history."
When a bill was introduced a year or
two ago to take municipal tuff rage away
from the women of Kansas, no wonder it
was voted down tinamiously, and "amid
a rippl of amusement."

placed in service on the upper river as

for her, and then supplies will bt deliver

more men, scrapers and animals will bs

Operations between Celilo and Van?
couver are active. An idea of the large
force there is had from the fact that the
storekeepers at ' Vancouver have sent
$28,000 worth of supplies. With the
men to be employed on the two bridges
between Vancouver and Portland, in ad

during the spring, there will be upwards
