SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN IN ORE
GON.
Tin- campaign for woman suf
frage in Oregon is proceeding
with a vigor and determination
iiial promise success in Novem
ber. Past defeats in that stale
have not discouraged the work
ers. They feel that conditions
are more favorable than ever he
fore. Willi Washington 011 the
north and California on the south
having political equality of the
sexes, the Oregon advocates arc
resolved that this year shall see
all the Pacic coast states in line.
.The press is giving more sup
port to the movement than for
merly, and on the part of the
general public there is less dis
position to oppose.
At the present time the move
ment. is being aided by Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the
American Surage association,
and by the Rev Charles F Aked
jL»f San Francisco, who came over
from England to New York city
a few years ago Both are great
speakers
In a recent speech in Portland
I»r. Aked summed up his argu
ments by saying there was never
a time in all the history of all
liumanity that an unenfranchis
ed cla'-.s about to receive the
right of franchise was.so lit to
receive it as the women of Ore
gon and of the United States gen
erally. He is an enthusiast in
1 he cause, a* is shown by his
comparison of women and men
as follows:
"Women are heller educated
than men in America: every high J
Fchool gradualing class con- •
t.iins more girls than hoys; thei
American women are more so-1
her than I he American mm: the
American women are more moral;
than American men. Tin* Amer-i
iean women are less drunken j
(than I he American men: llieyj
are less criminal than the Am-J
eriean men;- Ihe country over, j
■only 5 1-2 per cent, of Ihe crimei
is commilled by women, and in
1 he Oregon penilentiary and the
Oregon jails only I per cent. of'
the inmates are women. The
American women are more lion-1
esl llian the American men. Then
on what eonclivahle grounds are
>oii denying lliem Ihe fran
chise?"

A curious fall of red snow is
observed sometimes in the Alps
in spring, hut black snow is a
rarity. This spring in the
valley of KmmCn snow of a dirty
grayish black has been noticed.
II. formed a crust of some centi
meters in thickness and extend
ed nver I he while snow which
had fallen on previous days.
This strange oceurranre lias nol

USEFUL MEN
Tin* useful men are doing some
tasks both snne and good; they're
plowing or I hey're hewing or
sawing rieks •»f wood. They
make two blades of lei luce grow
where one grew before: I hey do
11o| bore or frel us with nn eter
nal roar. Ah, when I eonlein
plale Ihem. my eye with moisture
swims. Why don't you emulate
I hem, you tiresome Windy Jims?
I fiet so tired of speaking, of
verbal enlnraels, of statesmen j
who iire reeking with arguments;
ami fiiets; <if politieiaus yellow
who tool the bra/en horn: I most
admire I tie fellow who ealuilv
plants his ''orn! The men who
rant and thunder across the jad
ed land, and I ear I he air asun
der willi noise I hat heals the
band, contribute nothing, noth
ing. to help the rare to win, and
idle are the froth ings, the
whooping and I lie din. The
man who puis a rollar upon his
s|li\ined bay and earns a sweaty
dollar for toiling Ihrough the day
to me is more enchanting than
all the gifted boys who *prnd Ihc
summer ranting and kicking up
a noise. The useful men are
hoeing, performing ' kindred
deeds; they're oul where things
are growing, a j/ulling up I he
weeds: I be weeds—I hey ampul ale
them, destroy I hem root and
limbs; why don't you emulate
Ihem, you . cheap, old Windy
Jim ?--Wall Mason
