It says : ‘In all elections not otherwise provided for by this constitution, every white, male citizen of the United States of the age of 21 years and upwards who shall have resided in the state during the six months immediately preceding such election ; and every white male of foreign birth of the age of 21 years and upward, who shall have resided in the United States one year and shall have resided m this state during the six months immediately preceding such election, and shall have declared his in tention to become a citizen of the ,Unit ed States one year preceding such elec tion, conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of natur alization, shall be entitled to vote at all elections authorized by law.’ “An examination of the opinion of the court in the Cochran case shows that the construction of the constitu tion as applied there fits the section above quoted to a dot. And the appli cation is strengthened by section 3 of article 2, which reads: “No idiot or insane ‘person shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector,’ and section 6, which says: ‘No negro, Chinamanor mulatto shall have the right of suf frage. ’ “These sections say who shall vote, but as they do not specifically set forth who shall not vote, except as above noted, and it seems to me that under the construction placed upon the consti tution by the court in the Cochran case, woman have a right to demand the bal lot. In that case the court holds that an increase in the number of Justices of the Supreme Court, not being ex pressly prohibited, the legislature had the right to pass a law increasing the membership of the court. This being so, and there being no express inhibi tion in the constitution against women having the right to vote, why cannot the legislature confer that right with out an amendment to the constitution? “This appears in a stronger light when we remember that it does ex pressly prohibit the legislature from conferring the right of suffrage upon certain classes and does not mention women as one of those classes. In the light of the Cochran decision the con stitution says certain persons shall have the right to vote at all elections, and that the legislature shall not con fer the right of suffrage on certain classes, and consequently it must be held that the legislature has power to confer that privilege on all except the prohibited classes.” Silk suspenders in pretty box, 50c Hair brush sets, 40c and 75c Ladies’ hand bags, 75c to $3.50 Ladies’ furs and Muffs, $2.00 to $6.50 Sleeping dolls, china, 25c; china dolls 10c and up Fancy art center pieces and doilies 35c to $3.50 Phoenix mufflers, 25c to 50c Ladies’ embroidery handkerchiefs, 25c to 65c Men’s initial handkerchiefs, 10c to 50c Flowered Dresden ribbon, 2 in. wide, 20c yd.

The United States 9onsul at Christiana, Norway, has sent to this government a suggestion along this line which may be of value to American lumbermen who are wrest ling with the problem of sawdust waste. The flour in question is not the, kind which goes into the making of light, fluffy biscujts, and the other kind which are not light or flaky pastry, but it is an ingredient of dynamite, linoleum, xyolite, which for the information of the man on the street is a kind of arti ficial flooring; and other things. It is not put forward as a new discovery for it has been in use for several years in Europe, and to a small extent in this country. The wood flour is ground in a cheap mill, very similar to those which grind corn and rye. Pine and spruce sawdust is used in Europe, and after passing through the stones and the bolting chest, it is sacked or baled for ship ment. It is then worth twelve or thir teen dollars a ton. The flour has a .number of uses, one of which is the making of dynamite. It is the absorb ent for the nitroglycerine which is the explosive ingredient. Wood' flour dy namite is inferior to that made with infusorial earth as the absorbent; but it serves many purposes, and is cheap er. But dynamite is one of the small est prospective uses for the product. Linoleum makers mix it with linseed oil and give body to their floor cover ings. It is not considered quite equal to ground cork for this purpose, as it is less elastic, but it is cheaper and meets erquirements for medium grades. The flour fills an important place in the manufacture of xyolite, a kind of artificial flooring, resembling wood in weight, a.nd stone in other respects. It is used for kitchen doors, and in halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants and public rooms. It is impervious to water, and is practically fire proof. It is floor ma terial in some of the German war ves sels. It is so used because .it is not lia ble to take fire or splinter if Struck by shells. Many additional uses for wood flour will probably be found. The amount of sawdust to be had in this country is, practically unlimited and millmen will welcome any plan that will lessen the waste at the sawdust dump. Norway exports «thousands of tons of this sawdust flour yearly and the United States takes some of it. Germany is a large manufacturer also, and has been for years. England is an extensive buyer and much goes to France. , UNION PACIFIC I THERE IS unsurpassed through fast train service to Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, with di rect connections to all points East and South.

Postoffice Department Wants Ruralers to Provide Stamps. The postoffice department at Wash ington has issued a vigorous objection against the habit of placing pennies in rural mail boxes. A circular from the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General says among other things: “As most of these coins are deposit ed loose in boxes, it is desirable that you and the rural carriers, in a tactful and polite way, put forth your best efforts to induce patrons to provide themselves with stamp supplies in ad vance of their needs, and to equip their boxes with suitable coin holding recep tacles. It should be explained to pa trons that the picking of loose coins from boxes not only results in needless hardships and suffering to carriers in winter weather, delays the delivery and collection of the mails, but fre-. quently results in actual money loss to tKe carriers, for if, in collecting coins from the boxes, they drop them with out recovery, they are required to re place the amount out of their own funds.” ■ .. ‘ _ Show Promises Well.
