The suggestion put forward by In ventor Edison has a whole lot of merit The history of the building of fleets of warships has demon' strated that types of armament are constantly being improved, and every decade sees a complete rerolution in arms and monitions of warfare. It would therefore seem poor business to fill magazines with shells that may be out of date In a few months, held in reserve tor the war that we hope will never come. A navy of back number Teasels, and storerooms fill ed with out-of-date guns and shells, would not go far in moral effect to ward maintaining peace. But fac tories equipped for the making of sheila as fast as they could possibly be needed, and storerooms filled with the materials for their making would hare a potentiality toward peace that might make their use unnecessary. A good lawyer has said his strength did not lie In the amount of Information which he carried in his head "but in the ability to command that informa tion from his library when occasion required. KNOCKS. There are knocks, and again there are knocks. Just now the knock which is stirring up the Rogue River valley is not of the common ordinary scant lot brand of kicker's knock, but is of the other kind, the KNOCK OP OPPORTUNITY. A million dol lars in capital is waiting at the door. Is the Rogue River valley "at home" to visitors? Are you, Mr. Farmer, content with the scant living that you grind out of your land, prices fluctuating and market poor? Or do you want a steady income of good hard Uncle Sam's dollars? In the next thirty days the valley will either gain or lose a million dollar industry. It does not depend upon the landowners alone. It de pends npon every man in the valley. Bankers, merchants, all can by their offers of co-operation with the farmer, induce the landowner to sign up acreage. The sugar factory means the spending of large amount? of cash in the valley, not alone for beets but for fuel, labor and many other ne cessities to the successful conducting of such an Industry. Let us answer the knock of opportunity with a ready hospitality which will adver tise the progresslveness of southern Oregon. The Willamette valley, the Umpqua, the Klamath county and many other sections of Oregon are ready to grab the factory if the Rogue valley falls. It is the knock of opportunity. Ashland Tidings.

Complaints come that numerous most unsightly places are being thus made along the highways. Care should be taken in dumping garbage and waste, it is not much mora trouble to put it where it will not be a constant offense to the eye. VOTES FOR WOMEN. (Zontlnaed from page 1.) "And when tho voting is over, sit on the ballot boxes until the counting beglDB. No matter what happens, sit on them." Indications were this afternoon that tho total vote would reach the average of the general election balloting. Grants Pass Is arranging for an exhibit at the Manufacturers and Land Products show to be held at Portland. It is proposed to make a most comprehensive-showing of the Tokay grape and also to dUplay the mineral wealth of the county. It might (be well to send a couple of car loads of the grapes along to Port land at the same time, and then In vite the Rose City people to eat a few of them. Tbey have gotten so used to the product of the California oil that some from their own may not tlcklo their palate. Consistency would direct that they shift their af fection, however.

J., Oct. 19. Headed by Its foremost citizen, President Wilson, all New Jersey today went to the polls to register its will on the ; state woman suffrage question. i Conservative Judges said the vote would be cIoho. The suffragists claim ed their majority will (be 25,000, while the "antts" said they will have a '"large majority." The battle ot the "proa" continued to dawn today, and they were on hand during the day to see that there were no election frauds. At Newark a weary-eyed group of suffraglHts held forth when the sun dawned over the city thla morning. They had talked all day, and all night, even though in the early hours of the morning they found scarcely any one except the patrolmen and milkmen for an audience. j The suffragettes made a whirlwind close. Four hundred of them all over the state conducted meetings well in to the night. They centered their work chiefly In the big lndufrtrlnl centers, where the fight admittedly is hardest. If these r ltles are carried, said the suf fragists, the rrnt of tho state will be easy. The polls opened at 6 o'clock and will continue until 0 tonight. BULGARIANS fAIL !N ATTEMPT TO CUT Nl RAILROAD (By United ress Leased Wire.) Paris. 0 t. 19. The allies have re pulsed the Bulgarians trying to cut tho Nlsh railroad, according to an Athens dispatch today. It was re garded as possible, though, that this message was filed earlier than the German statement claiming that Vranla was captured. If It Is really captured, as the Germans declare, the line is cut. Athena spoke of staggering Bul garian losses when the allies took StrumnlUa, followed by a disorder ly rout, In which the allies crossed the frontier near Dorian. The Serbian National bank has rushed funds from Nlsh to Monastlr, which has been mentioned as tho new capital for Serbia in event Nlsh falls. Orders are expected dispatching a strong Anglo-French body of rein forcements, with perhaps some Ital ians, to the Balkans.
