Farmers Are Happy Our View We notice in the last issue of the new newspaper at Redmond, "TheOrecon Advanco" that its editor is endeavoring to take all of the credit for the condition of affairs in Madras at the present time, as well as other towns in Central Oregon. We do not care what he has done in the other towns, but we would like to ask the gentleman what part of the work was done by him, or even through his in fluence as far as Madras is con cerned. The result of his efforts, The harvesting ana tnresning or Sledge Hammer mows" as of the most tremendious crop of he terms it, causing the lid to be i grain that Central Oregon has closed down in Madras. ever had in its history, has been completed, or nearly so, and satisfaction is expressed by all of the farming community with the returns for their labors. The farmers are beginning to realize, and many of them know that the extra work done in pre paring their ground ready for seeding and the care of it after ward, is among the most import ant things that they will have to do, to insure good orops in the years to come. it has been a common occur- rr nee to ride out over the plains d ring the last month, to be able to see several harvestering machines running, under the vision of one's eyes, and many ti nes the threshing machines being included. The farmers have worked hard and the re turns have been ample to give them encouragement to continue to equal and if possible, exceed their income next year over this year. It may sound all right for some one to read, who is not conver- sent with the facts in the case, but with the people that know, they feel that the gentlemen is somewhat out of order. GOOD TASTE IN CLOTHES GOOD JUDGMENT IN BUst NESS OFTEN HITCH UP Productiveness Unsatisfactory That the productiveness of the soil has got to be increased, is b 2coming more apparent to .the whole bus ness fraternity of the Northwest and of Oregon es pecially. The productiveness of tHe soil, depends, more than on any other thine on the future advancement, the growth and prosperity of that particular farming communityi as well as the state at large. Real and rapid progress will be made only when the full capacity has been developed. Here, in Oregon, and par ticularly in Central Oregon, the railroads have made real advan ces in recognition of it, the de velopment leagues have grasped it, the. Agricultural college in its courses and in its extensions is pushing it. But much effort is needed to secure its acceptance by the rank and file of our citizen ship. The practical working out of this idea, by common con sent takes two forms. The localizing of it in everv county by a demonstration farm, and also by a field demon strator, an exert who shall give his whole time, energy and in fluence to bringing the needed knowledge and inspiration to every farm. This conception that the com munity has vital interest in the best development oi every farm is new. It is an outgrowth of the conviction that eveiy man lives only for himself alone. Nor should one be left to his o vn resources only he has the privilege, and the right, to avail himself of knowledge, aid, and sympathy and all of the best that can be commanded by the community of which he is a p .rt. It is true we have two of these experimental farms in Crook County, and one located in the Dry -Faming community of the Northern part, but their means are limited, consequently the work cannot be carried out, f jr the full benefit of the general public. The commercial bodies of the State Agricultural College are doing a great deal and the Central Oregon Developement Pamphlets Being Alailed Secretary of State Ben W. Olcott commenced Monday the mailing of the first of the pam phlets containing statements and arguments of political par ties which have nominated can didates and independent candi dates who have filed statements for publication. This pamphlet covers the counties oi waiter, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla Union, Wal lowa, Wasco and Wheeler, con tains fifty-six pages, and a suffi cient number has been printed so as to insure a copy for the esti mated registration of over 30,000 in those counties. Secretary Olcott has ordered these pamphlets printed and bound without covers thus effecting a saving to the state of approximately $1325 eliminating an item of not less than $900 in postage alone, as with the cover the pamphlet would have requir ed two cents postage, charge is only one cent. Only the pam phlets coiner to the voters of Multnomah county will require two cents for mailing. The pam- phelts for that county will con tain sixty-four pages consequent ly on account of its additional weight cannot be brought within the one-cent requirement. The cost of the paper for the cover, printing and binding go to make up the balance of the saving of $425, of which 140 is for paper and the balance of S28o for com position and presswork. In the aggregate there are 152,160 copies being made. This office is also in receipt of a copy oi the certincate oi all of the candidates who have filed their petitions with the Secretary of State, and whose names will appear on the ballot November 5th, next. In the same certificate all of the In itative and Refe-endum bills also are listed the same as they will appear on the ballot, of which there are 32 measures. yEGEE liNCAil & CO CLOTHES.

MADRAS, OREGON OB 1 WHY SHOULD A WOMAN? tmmm I Why should a woman be born, educated, married, divorced and buried under laws made exclusively by men? The right to govern is conferred by the governed and not exclusively males, the governed are men and women, for women are responsible before the law. . Why, if we desire to be just and fair, should we not allow the women to exercise what should be an equal right with man? VOTE X 300 ON THE BALLOT Portland Equal Suffrage League, Mrs. Solomon Hirsch, President. Civic Duties vs. the Political Game Ida Tarbell says one of her chief objections to woman suf frage is that it will take the attention of woman from what I believe to be their real civic duties by interesting them in the political game, when they should be concentrating their attention on specific civic work. All right minded women want this work done but they differ as to the method. The suffragist thinks the ballot the panacea for all ills of society. The anti-suff- ragist believes that the constant and effective influence now exert ed by women on legislation and public affairs is due to the character and intelligence of he women who advocate good causes. A woman now in terested in a matter of pubi". welfare is known to be unselfish and with only the interest of her cause at heart. The same woman under woman suffrage is onlv really solve the juvenile delin quency, intemperance, the white slave traffic, arid the social evil is education, education and mpre education in the homes and from the earliest hour of childhood and therein lies the civic duty of woman, nigger than the casting of any ballot, and absorbing enough to occupy all the women of Oregon for all time. It is to keep the women of this state out of the "politica game ana leave them iree tor this greatest of all their duties that we aks you to vote against the women suffrage amendment at the coming election.
