"It is to laugh" when you hear people with tears in their voices telling of the poor little helpless children whose mothers' devotion to politics leaves them neglected and forlorn. For here, when they are not in school or with a care taker, they trot along, or are wheeled along to the polls where they are looked after while-mother votes, and return home unconscious of the fact that they are objects of pity. Really this wail about the negleciw homes of the woman voters makes us stop and ponder seriously, is possible that our course is wrong? It Is a fact that it takes fully three minutes, no more, in- any precinct In the city, to take you from your home to the pollin--place, and autos are furnished free. It may take you as much as ten minutes, if you are a trifle dense, five probably if you are not to make your ballot, (for the good old days when someone stood outside and thoughtfully handed you one already marlfiv is passed away), and three more minutes to get you home again.

Think of it! There are sixteen whole precious minutes out of a year wantonly squandered in trying to make your city a livable place! Sixteen invaluable minutes wasted in trying to help put into office an honest man who will spend your tax money honestly! Sixteen priceless minutes dissipated in an effort to better home and working conditions! minutes which, had you cared to use them so could have been spent so profitably In hoeing the kitchen garden or scrubbing the back porch! Friend of mine, the next time you hear any man bewailing the plight of the poor little children, the neglected home, and the waste of time, please ask him for me who feeds the furnace at his house, and who milks the family cow, will you? As a matter of fact it takes much less time to vote than it does to buy a hat, and believe me It costs far less. It not only gvies the family a vital common interest, but it brings home Mrs. August M. Wider, Mitchell Thursday P. M.

1:80 LAST WORD FROM COLORADO. (Continued from Sunday.) There is another class of men who denounce suffrage. That Is made up of the men who were held to be morally unfit for public office and who were defeated by the woman vote. Oddly enough these men and their adherents are strongly opposed to suffrage! "You can't tell them that the woman vote of Colorado can't be bought!" To be frank, it can. But the purchase price is decency, honesty, uprightness and ability on the part of the candidates.

The women's clubs are powerful factors in the making of good laws in this state. They are made up of earnest sincere women for the most part, whose children are grown and out from under the mother wing, and who are trying to make it easier for their children to bring up their families under proper conditions, in decency and honor, than it was for themselves to do so. They carefully plan certain legislation and present It to the lawmakers, then with all the power of their influence (as voters, remember) they force through as many laws as possible for the betterment of mankind. As a particular instance of the power of the ballot versus woman's Influence (without the ballot) take the lawmaking fathers equally with the fathers the guardians of their minor children. The women of Massachusetts worked for fifty-five years to get that law passed.

The women of Colorado passed that bill in less than fifty-five days after the convening of the first legislature after they were given -ae ballot. The last legislature passed a "minimum wage law for women and minors," and also a "minimum salary law for country teachers," the first of its kind in the country, and Senator Helen Ring Robinson vouches for the fact that women were entirely responsible for the passage of both. Congressman Taylor declares that there are now on the statutes more than one hundred and fifty good, sensible, humane laws for which, to his certain knowledge, the women of Colorado are directly responsible. Among them is the mother's compensation act, such as, I believe, South Dakota has already; a law providing America Audience Report of State Officers Report of General Federation State Secretary For Circuit Judge CLAUDE C.

Helen Crenfell, perhaps Colorado's best known womau citizen declares that In seventeen years of experience she has never seen an intoxicated man, heard an oath, nor seen any discourteous action toward any woman at the polls.

It may be, Every prospective college student In the Black Hills region should inquire carefully into the advantages of the State School of Mines. There is perhaps no institution where the tuition is lower and where the quail ty of the work is better. For advanced students there are the various four-year engineering courses. For others there Is the preparatory science course. This latter includes studies in Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Physical Geography, English, German, Spanish, Woodshop, Machin Shop, History, Civil Government, et cetera.

Four engineering courses are maintained, namely: Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineer-ing. Each of these is equivalent to four years of the best college work. Graduates seldom lack for good positions. Young people who are interested in scientific work, particularly along engineering lines and who have a proper appreciation of the possibilities of a good technical school can do no better than enroll at tbe South Dakota State School of Mines, Rapid City, South Dakota. Correspondence in regard to the work of the school tm invited.

The school year begins Wednesday, September 16th. For catalog, book of views and other Information, address the President. though personally I have never heard of a single instance. It might be suggested, however, that both religion and husbands' relatives have been known to do do the same, but no one has ever yet found that a sufficient excuse for doing away with either institution. As to suffrage causing an increase or divorce, it is absurd.

Edward T. Taylor, for 13 sessions a state senator, for 12 years, member of the judiciary committee. and later Colorado's representative at Washington is authority for the following statement: "There is not a single instance on record, anywhere in any court in the state, and there never In twenty years has been in Colorado, where a divorce has been granted on account of political differences, or where the trouble between husband and wife acrose from politics, or where either one ever even claimed that politics had anything TEACHERS' EXAMINATION The State Superintendent has postponed the October examination for second, third, and primary grade certificates until the time for the examination for state certificates on November 6th, 6th, and 7th, 1914. So on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, November 5th, 6th, and 7th, the next regular examination for the above grades of certificates will be held In court house. Ia Justice to the teachers the de partment will make an exception for this November examination by permitting all applicants for certificates to apply their standings secured during April 27th, 1914, in the regular way, although these standings will be more than six months old by November 5th.

Applicants expecting to take this examination must be present at 9 a. Thursday, November 6th, 1914. FLORENCE GLENN, fio. Payt Schools. do with it." It is a fact that there are many divorces granted in this state, but it Is also a fact that it Is largely a "carpet bag divorce trade," much as It was In years gone by in Sioux Falls.
