A Suuiitst ion
The friends of prohibition
should not content themselves
by simply making a tight to
make Washington dry. They
should take active means to es
tablish, under police regulations,
a home in cities of any sie in
the state to take the place of the
j saloon. The saloon, bad as i
f its intliienee. has some feature
! which makes it a service
jtoa community. It serves as
meeting place where strangers
are welcome and provides com
forts lacking eUewhere. Unto
the average town anywhere aij i
there is not a place a stranger
can go with any degree of wel
come. He cannot meet for a
business all elsewhere than in a
saloon. He is not welcome in a

A comfortable meeting place
should be provided for people
and a charge made that will pay

A contributor to the Lebanon
Criterion writing upon the sub-
ject: "The American Woman," j
after saying many beutiful and j
true things about woman, past.
ami present, brings in the fol-j
lov tigas the reason wbv great1

nations ot the past nave lalleu.
I: says;
"The Romans and (ireeks in
their day were mighty nations.
Their power was envied by in
tolerant Persia on the east and
despotic Carthage on the south;
it was feared by the Barbarians
on the north. Hut their laws
an i customs shrank with shame
from critical eye's; laws thatj
made their women inferior to j
slaves. Their women were the I
real slaves of the nation These1
nations reached, as was thought!
at that time, the highest of civil-i
i ition, but they did not eneiire; !
th-'v crumbled and fell. Why V
H -cause no nation that denn-s
the place of woman and blights!
the womanhood within its
i
iounds can remain a power." j
The last sentence in t he above i
excerpt gives as a reason of the
disintegration or fall of the
Greek and Roman empires, the
social position and lack of prop
er recognition of the women of
those realms.
I'oth the Greek and Roman
dominions were the result of
conquests and the women not
belonging to the class who were

which she was held by the men
of these nations', but will the
exaltation of the gentler sex to
equal privileges with men pro-! A Proposal To Prepare Small,

railroads who have agreed to put
thoRound-Up on as an additional
drawing card for their regular
fall homeseekers' excursions, in
order that they might have plenty
of time to get their literature
printed and distributed over the
country and get it into the hands
of the prospective homeseeker.
