The pleasant Traveling Man.

An iridescent dream;
AHo yet, 1 nearly always find,

With cheerfulness his theme.
Despite the dreary cooking
With which he must contend,
Despite the bed as hard as bricks,
And absence from his wife and

Sometimes for weeks on end
Though night is void of music,
And cares infest the day

And scatters cheer with every mMe

He had to rise at three o'clock
To catch some dismal train.
He roves the country owe!"

May Heaven's blessing light on him,
And keep him sound in wind and

Joe Lean, the genial lumber sales

every three or four months and who
says he Is proud to be a member of

day and Tuesday in Alliance and
the surrounding towns. Joe covers
a lot of territory and has a big
trade. The poem dedicated to trav

was contributed by him.
The Omaha Trade Exhibit devoted
t.s entire issue or Saturday, April
12th, to the Travelers Protective As
sociation, Nebraska Division. The
edition contained 101 pages, crammed
full of interesting news to traveling
men. A large number of pictures of
prominent members were given. Al
liance was given an extended writ
up on page 76. Extra copies were
ordered so that each member of
Pott M could have one. They may
be procured at The Herald billet),
Post M scored a big BUOCSO on
Friday evening when the First An
nual Ball was given at the I'helan
Opera House. For a month the
special arrangement committee, Ivan
Kodgeis, J. 0. Berry and Lloyd (
Thomas, had been working on ar
rangements. They were given every
assistance by the officers and their
fellow members. The hall was tas
tily decorated with a targe TI'A ban
ner as centerpit-ce and 'with doens
of smaller banners strung over the
room. Special committees looked af
ter the arrangements and welfare or
everyone at the ball and it is safe
to say that this was one of the most
delightful affairs cf the year.
The committees on the fo r in the
evening were: Door Roy Strong;

The music was the occasion of
many comments. A six piece talent
ed orchestra had been secured and
better musk- was never furnished to
an Alliance ball. I'he program was
an extended one of sixteen dances
and four extras. Punch was served
to the thiiaty ones. The stage was
decorated in a unique way with trav
eling satchels and cases, across Its
entire length.
The hall was rilled to overNowlng
Over seventy-five couples were on
he floor and more could not have
been well accommodated. A cut
flower, tied with ribbon, was pre
sented to each lady. Post M has
reason to be proud of this achieve
ment, which leaves a balance to
help pay expenses to the state con

A MODEL CITY'
TWO LARGE TRACTS INCLUDED
Washington. April I:;. -The De
partment or Agriculture has begun
advertising two large tracts or tim
ber which aggivgate 750 million foet
on t lie Payette River within the
Iloise and Payette National Forests,
Idaho. The District Forester at Og
den, Utah, will receive bids up to
ari including June 1, 191.1, and for
an additional month ir Intending pur
chasers wish more time to examine
the timber before deciding on their
bids.
While the bids received through
competition will determine the rate
at which the timber will be sold, the
department, as the result or a care
ful study, has placed a minimum
price which will be considered on
the timber, according to species and
situation. These prices range from
$2.'o a thousand feet for western
yellow pine In the most accessible
plaits, down to ll.t.O for the least
valuable and least accessible timber.
The initial rates will be subject to
readjustment In liHK and in 1922. By
such readjustment the stumpage
price may be modified twice at four
ytar intervals c'uring the twelve
years which will be ullcwed for the
removal or the timber.
The department officials point out
that, in sales of such a large quan
tity of timber. It is necessary to al
low a long term contract because of
the magnitude of operation and in
vestment. The fact that many large
salts have been made with readjust
ment clauses indicates, it is held,
that timber operators find the meth
od businesslike and practicable.
Tin timber to be cut li -s on the
watersheds of the South and Middle
forks of the Payette, and bids will
be received for any or all of the tim
ber on either fork. It is accessible
to southern Idaho, which Is develop
ing repldly and in which the demand
for timber will increase.
By Rev. Henry W. Prlnejle
It Is proposed to make Washington
a model city, where Justice and eM-
ciency exist in superlative degree,
in matters or trade, public utilities.
police and fire protection, education,"
sanitation, health and recreation.
The national capital already has won
enviable distinction In these lines
and claims to be the cleanest and
most benutirul city In America. In
one respect Washington 1b a back
ward city. Any civic plan or better
ment Is derective which does not
provide for the abatement or law
lessness and commercialized vice in
the community.
There were 30 murders last year
in Washington, against three In Tor
onto with the same population, and
20 murders in london with twenty
times Washington's population (350,-
000). For the year ending July l,
1911, there were 34,068 arrests in
Washington, -i I though drunkenness
of itself is not an oftense In the
District. The police force that year
numbered 731, or an orricer to each
47 or the population.
There are 4W7 licensed bar-rooms
and one or the offt?ers of police tes
tified at a senate hearing this year
that about 40 unprosecuted brothel
keepers are selling liquors without
a license. The order of the ex se
board (April 1, 19101 prohibited
screens during hours of closing, but
the saloon-keepers in Washington
pay no attention to that order. Li
quor Is frequently sold to minors and
drunken persons.
Both the District code and the gen
eral laws of Congress make it the
duty or the police to suppress UMM
or prostitution. On Mar. 22. Captain
HoHonberger, or the police depart
ment, testiried that there are in
Washington 52 brothels with 240 In
mates. Making Votes for Women
Before many months probably N't a
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
will vote on constitutional amend
ments granting suffrage to women.
Mi higan Is already voting again on
the subject the amendment that was
defeated last November by a very
narrow and dubious majority having
been resubmitted. The orderly sufr
rage propaganda In this country has
reached a stage where legislatures
are generally ready to adopt the nec
essary resolutions and pas-j the is
sue on to the votersi orten, no
doubt, in pious expectation that the
voters will say nay.
Among voters there Is much per
fectly respectable opposition to equal
suffrage, based on the honest con
viction that It would be good neith
er for women nor men. But that is
not the sort or opposition women
need rear. The sort that Is really
formidable was rinely exemplified by
Incidents attending the suffrage par
ade In Washington whe-ti women
peaceably exercising an undoubted
right were buffeted, trampled upon
and jeered by edifying representa
tives of the more muscular sex, some
of whom were drunk. Those men re
sent female suffrage because it iin
pllts that a be'ng whom they can
thrash may be their equal, which
would entirely upset their standards
of value. They believe in woman's
inherent Inferiority; and the more
inferior the man Is the more tenae-i-otnrljr
he clings to that notion. It
Is the old Stone Age male who
wants a female as his personal prop
erty that suffragists -and other wo
men finally need to rear.
And the fact that that Is. the most
affective opposition makes a great
number of men desire votes for women.
Greeley, Col. I am sorry to learn
that woman suffrage was defeated
in Missouri by the senate. I used
to be dead against women voting
Put I have lived several years In a
wcinr:i suffrage state and observed
Ml i ml e lections when women have
participated in them and I have
come to the conclusion when a wo
man becomes Interested enough in
the welfare or her country to want
to help elect her representatives the
wlsert and best thing to do is to
li t her vote. No sane person that
'nki s any notl-e of her prog re M aid
uieu'al a -hlevements dare say she
is not intellectually eligible.
The old arguments that h-r rath
er, brothers and husband will m .
for her protection Is worthy or no
more consideration than to say the
ina" i- ,-an vote for the slave. Our
schools teach her clvica and prepare
her for intelligent citizenship along
with her male classmates. Why not
use the one great test or all good
loyal citizens to vote? Those sena
tors who rail to give ear to her de
mands cannot expect to evade the
responsibility. For the fathers and
brothers of those women no doubt
will not forget It when they come to
the polls next election The polling
place has become orderly and a spir
it of refinement pervades all booths
where women attend to perform the
sacred duty all good citizens owe to
their country. GOOSE QUILL

CLIPPED FROM OUR EXCHANGES
An announcement comes rrom
Washington that means much for
Hyannla, the county seat or Grant
county, as well as for trtie persons
who may be so fortunate as to se
cure a piece or the valuable land
In question. J. B. Knieat was at Hy
annis last Sunday and informs The
Herald that there is considerable ex
citement Ohere over the matter. The
following la from the Omaha Bee of
April 13th:
From Washington the Burlington
has received notice of the restora
tion of 621 sections, or more than
332,000 acres of Nebraska land to
the public domain. This lamd lies
in Grant and McPherson counties
and was aegregated some ten years
ago, being set aside as a portion of
tjhe North Platite forest reserve.
The land in question lies in a
body, several miles wide- and extend
ing rrom a short distance south of
Hyannls on the Burlington, south to
near the- Hrldge-ipont branieii of t!n
Union Pacific and gene rally Is the
best grazing section in the stale It
Is somewhat hilly along rhe streams,
but there are numerous high table
lands excelltmt for agricultural pur
poses, besides a number of wide and
rich valleys. When it was with
drawn rrom the public domain and
became n part or the North Platte
fores reserve it was the Intention
to reforest the entire Uracil, planting
vt to pine trees The experiment,
was tried, but It pioved Impractica
ble and for several years it has been
a cattle range and looked upon as a
sort of "no man's Innd." In the
area, which is as large as Douglas
county, there are a number of never-falling
streams, a dozen or more
lakes fed by springs, around which
there are hay Hats miles In extent.
Before it was segregated it was
looked upon as the richest ranch
land In the sate.
Under the order or the Interior de
partment It is expected that about
October 1, the entire tract, which
will give 2,084 persons a home or 160
acr-'s each, will le thrown open to
sertlemtnt, but under what plan Is
not known at tins time. It is pr
sumed that the allotment ot forms
will be similar to that adopted by
'In- government In disposing or the
BonesteH and Tripp county lands.
Notice will be published or the date
or opening, after which settlers will
make their selections, the drawings
for which will occur later in the fall.
Some ot the Nebraska land that
Is soon to be thrown upon the mar
ket is c.nly a short distance rrom
railroads and towns, but the greater
portion or It la much ferther away,
much or U lying nrteen to twenty
miles distant. However, generally,
the most of It la considered valua

and much right now, provided title
could be secured, would sell rrom
$25 to $50 per acre.
Crawford Tribune: Six clergymen,
representing as many dlff rent, de
nominations, recently gavi- addresses
in a church In Bcstcn to see if It Is
not possible to reach some common
point or agreement to farm a basis
of union. The impression gained by
rending the addresses Is that each
speaker believed that such union or
merger was quite feasible if all the
other churches would surrender their
convictions und acce pt those repre
sented by the speaker. AM of which
foes to show that the attitude of
