eral occasions In this case, the rail
roads and the Updike Grain company
appearing In opposition to the pro
posed Increase, nnd considerable ef
fort was made to learn the true value
of the stock yards.

the property of the company as fixed
by the company nnd by Engineer
I Iurd were very far npart, the commis
sion did not take this Item Into ac
count In permitting tho Increase In
rat's. The request was granted he-
nuse the commission believed the
charges desired to be made by the
stock yards were reasonable nnd Just
for the service performed nnd In line
Ith the charges made by the rail-

matter of the value, the commission
eld that the charges are not yet suf-
dent to guarantee a proper return

Numerous Questions Propounded in
Circulars Sent to Candidates for

ply Headquarters Are Established
in Washington Make Gains in West.
Washington, Sept. 19. Candidates
for political offices and their followers
are not the only persons busily cam
paigning during the dog days. Not to
be outdone by the politicians of the
unfair sex, the sleepless enthusiasts
of "votes for women" have taken the
warpath on their own account, and
adopted campaign tactics. Candidates
lor congress, as fast as nominated, are
being sent printed circulars asking
what their attitude is toward woman
suffrage.
The circulars are being sent by the
congressional committee of the Na
tional Women's Suffrage association.
Up to date few candidates have failed
to respond. The cnairman of the com
mittee, Miss Emma M. Gillett, Is grat
ified at the large number of responses
received.
The middle west shows a surprising
gain in suffrage sentiment. In Kan
sas, which has partial suffrage, the
candidates, with few exceptions, ex
press themselves In favor of full suf
frage for women. The "show me"
state's would be representatives are
not behind their Kansas brethren in
expressing the view that the women
should vote.
Questions Propounded.
Among the questions asked arer
"Are you In favor of the full suf
frage for women?
"Are you tor municipal suffrage for'
woman?
"Are you in favor of suffrage in any
form for tax-paying women?
Are you opposed to any form of suffrage-
for woman?
"If In favor of full suffrage for worn
ar., do you approve of an amendment
to the United States constitution in
efect as follows: 'The right of the
ci lze.ns of the United States to vote
srn!! rot be danled or abridged by the
United States nor by any state thereor
on uccount of sex.'
"If you do not favor an amendment'
to the national constitution would you
support a woman suffrage amendment
to your state constitution or to city
charters In your state?"
Candidates Make Reply.
Several candidates have amplified
their answers by going into detail In
their views of woman's sphere.
Others state that women of their
districts are satisfied without the
vote. Representative Adamson of
Georgia, who announced himself "a
worshiper of the women," says their
domination in matters political, social
and domestic throughout Georgia is
now unquestioned.
"Whenever they make up their
minds to vote there Is no doubt they
will do so," he adds, after announcing
himself not In favor of full suffrage
for those whom he admits he Idolizes.
The headquarters of the woman's
congressional committee Is a busy
place these days. Its chairman, Miss
Gillett, Is a practicing lawyer, and
two of Its five members are the daugh
ters of former congressmen. Mrs.
Katherlne Reed Ballentlne Is the
daughter of the late Thomas B. Reed
of Maine, who was several times
speaker of the house of representa
fives. The father of Mrs. Harriet Tay
lor Upton, Judge Taylor of Ohio, was
chairman of the house Judiciary com
mlttee to which woman suffrage pe
titions are consigned.
TAFT'S VACATION IS OVER
Social Season at White House Prom

Beverly, Mass., Sept. 19. When
President Taft started for Cincinnati,
via New Haven, at midnight, his vaea

will spend the first two weeks of Oc
tober at Beverly, but his days are
likely to be filled with official business.
The president will return to Wash

has lived an outdoor life for nearly
three months and Is as bronzed as an
Indian. Mrs. Taft's health also has
steadily Improved and the White
House Boclal season promises to be
an unusually active one.

Wide Attenton.
Ccrrectionville, la., Sept. 1Q. Much
interest is being snown in the couiuy
experiment taiiu here. A delejatua
of about tweuty-five farmers troui
around Bronson aud Lawton had Pro
fessor G. H. Biiss of the state college
at Ames take them over the several
hundred plots of corn there. Hun-.
dreds of farmers nearby are getting
valuable information there. An in
stance of the value of the experiment
farm is this: One Woodbury county
farmer who had prided himself on hid
knowledge of corn, was here to see
the three plots planted from his corn.
While the stalks stood ten to fifteen
feet high, the ears were short, imma
ture and pointed. On either side was
corn with shorter stalks, but larger
and more mature ears. He saw that
In the same soil, exactly the same
planting and cultivation, his ne.gh
bor's corn was far ahead of his. Ho
saw the point and announced: "I
guess I'll have to change my va.iety."
There are more than 100 tamples
planted from over the county, from
corn breeders and seed houses. The
varieties best adapted to this section
are therefore plainly shown, the val.io
of such demonstrations being mani
fold, if the farmers will heed the Ijs
son. Many are doing so.
