on the market 1 1 ENCE E CAN AUSOLUTEY GUARANTEE a superior quality of timber in
AIITCI1EL WAGONS and it is just as. impossible to build a good wagon without good timber as it i
to build a good house without a good foudation. The foundation of a wagon is the timber. We know
that everybody claims to have the best, b Httyou can't see under the paint. In buying a wagon you must
trust to somebody's word we claim to be trustworthy 'and reliable; beside, we leave unpaintecl the
Underside of such parts as we can (reaches tounges, ete.1 so that you can confirm our statements. We
guarantee every stick fully. MITCHELL WAGONS are Hght-runnin, well proportioned and well
finished, and, taken as a whole TllE Best Wagon on the Market Today. You can't make a mis
take if you get a MITCHELL.

Would our American women be low
ered by going to the polls to vote?
Would a crowd of rough idlera be allowed
there under the circumstances? I think
if women were allowed to vote that in
temperance would be gradually blotted
out of this fair country . As many of
the crimes are entirely due to the intox
icating liquors, would not the abolishing
of the' intoxicants check them to a
noticeable extent? Would women neg
Wagons
Streets,
lect their homes? Are you willing to
class our American women with Imbe
ciles, insane people, convicts, and a cer
tain class of foreigners, as you most un
doubtedly would in denying iheir right
to vote. Now while I think it ia rijht
for colored people to vote, does it not
look wrong that a negro , barely able to
read, should be allowed to vote and our
highly e-lucated women denied this
right? If a woman has taxable prop
erty, ien't it taxed? Yet she cannot
vote, Our forefathers declared, prior to
the Revolution, that "taxation without
representation is tyranny," and it was
the direct cause of the war that soon
followed. If a woman commits a crime,
is she not punished for it? Yet she can
not make the laws or at least help in
forming them. Does it look ju6t?

I notice, Mr. Editor, that much is
being said about scalp bounties in the
Oregonian. Now what is the matter
with a tax on dogs? The writer his
had about as many sheep killed by dfofL
as other varmita. This tax could e
used to help exterminate the coyote,
while the bounty on all other varmints
could be repealed, as they would be
easier trapped or poisoned, and with
the coyote it is almost impossible. )
