PANXHURST'S PLEA. Mrs. Fankhurst, militant suffragette from England, entertained a great audience at the auditorium Tuesday night. That portion of her address devoted to a sketch of the movement in Great Britain was interesting. She presented no new argument in favor of equal suffrage, although she pre sented the old arguments in a pleasing manner. There are no new arguments in favor of equal suffrage. None are needed. There is no argument against it. There is every reason why women should be enfranchised; not one rea son why the ballot should be denied them. This is a dogmatic statement, to be sure, but it states a fact. We don't ear a rap whether the women want the ballot or not. Wheth er or not she would use it if she had it is no concern of ours. "We only know that it is her just due, and that any change brought about by her hav ing it would have to be for the better, it being impossible to make matters worse. She is a taxpayer, she is a home maker, she is a producer. She must live under conditions which she has had no part in making, and submit to laws in which she had not part in framing. Seven million women are wage earners. They must have the ballot in order to safeguard their own interests. "Women can not bear arms, henee should not have the ballot," is the stock argument against equal suffrage. He who imagines that to be good ar gument ought to hare his head bored for the simples. Where would we get the arms bearers if the women didn't bear them t And we rather opine that going down into the valley to bring back a young life that is to blossom into citizenship is quite as onerous and as patriotic as shouldering a Spring field ride and marching forth to stir ring music under the old flag. Will Maupin's Weekly is for equal suffrage, not because it wants to be gallant, but because it wants to be just; not because it wants to add new duties to womanhood, but because it wants to enable her to protect herself; tot boeaue- it wants to take her down from the pedestal, but because it wants to make her something better than either a football or a dolL NEBRASKA WHEAT. The United States raises 20 per rent of all the wheat raised in the world. Nebraska raises one-fourteenth of all the wheat produced in the United States, and does it on fewer acres in proportion to output than any Misses' Long Coats at Special Cut Prices Entire line of Junior sizes, 13, 15 and 17, Black Cara v cule.

Her wheat acreage eould be doubled by making it known to all the world that she is the best wheat grower and that she has mil lions of unfilled wheat lands awaiting occupancy. Her yield per acre eould be increased 25 per eent by intensive cultivation, and we are teaching that in our agricultural colleges. But just pause and consider the fact that Nebraska produces practi cally one and one-half per cent of the world's wheat supply! She ought to be producing 3 or 4 per cent of it. She will do it just as soon as she makes known to the world that she has the wheat lands awaiting occu pancy. And when she doubles her wheat output she will add $40,000,000 to her income. And when Nebraskans unitedly de mand flour ground in Nebraska mills they will keep a larger percent of their income at home, where they'll have some chance of getting it back again. To advertise Nebraska's resources abroad, and to build up Nebraska in stitutions these are the duties laid upon Nebraskans today. HOW ABOUT THIS? We dip the following item from the Red Cloud Commercial Advertiser of November 20, the same being pub lished without headlines or display, and among personal items, patent medicine locals, etc.: "Tom Sutton informs us that in drilling for water two or three miles south of Red Cloud, his drill went through a vein of coal better than six feet thick, and that too, at only 55 or 60 feet below the surface. What a blessing a eoal mine would be to this city and county. Mr. Sutton hopes to get a shaft sunk before cold weath er sets in, if he can get the proper support. We hope it is true." If Tom Sutton has found a vein of coal six feet thick or two feet thick within 55 or 60 ,or even 550 or 600 feet of the surface, the fact is worth several thousand times more than a six or eight line notiee. If Mr. Sut ton will prove to the satisfaction of the editor of Will Maupin's Weekly that he has found a vein of coal six feet thick within 60 feet of the sur face, this editor will undertake to give the aforesaid Mr. Sutton enough money to make him independent for life, providing he own the land upon which the discovery was i-jade. A six fot vein of coal in Nebraska is just as good as a million dolars iu the bank yes, better. It would mean thing at all in this Sutton story the Commercial club of Red Cloud ought to be getting busy. It would mean that Red Cloud would speedily become the busiest eity in Nebraska. A six foot eoal vein is some coal vein. It would pay to mine a two-foot vein at a depth of 750 feet if it were a good quality of eoaL" But a six-foot vein, and within 60 feet of the surface! Great Seott! What's Red Cloud- thinking about to let it get away with a ten line local notice. Will Maupin's Weekly would get out a special edition in eleven colors if a six-foot vein of eoal within 60 feet "of the surface should be Cxnind within three miles of Seven teenth and O streets. WORSE THAN CHUMPS. Speaking before the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress at Kansas City last week George J. Kindel of Denver said: "We are a nation of chumps to stand for the exactions of the robber express companies." Mr. Kindel said a lot more in the same tenor, but that about covers the ground. His charge that the congress was controlled by express company lobbyists was not contradicted for the simple reason that everybody knew it to be a fact. , This express graft is about the worst one of the whole lot. And it would be so easy, and so sensible, to knock it out. All that needs to be done is for Uncle Sam to establish a parcels post system. Just as other and less graft-ridden countries have done, and run it in connection with the postoffiee department. The express companies are robbing the people t' the extent of millions every month. And to think that the bankers, who are the chiefest sufferers, are stand ing for it! NOT A NEW SCHEME. Governor Aldrich is not entitled to credit for suggesting a new scheme when he suggests a law prohibiting inferior courts from granting injunc tions against the operation of state laws. But in depriving Governor Aldrich of this credit is not to de prive him of the credit of being the man who has given the suggestion vital force. Attorney General Thomp son suggested the same thing two or three years ago and went to the length of drafting a bill to that effect and sending it down to Washington. The bill was taken in charge by Senator Norris Brown, and so far as anybody knows that was the end of it. It was Attorney General Thompson who stole a mareh on the railroads by getting the first injunction. Instead of wait ing for the railroads to enjoin the state from enforcing the 2-cent fare law, Mr. Thompson secured an in junction forbidding the railroads to ask for an injunction. OUGHT TO HAVE IT. Western Nebraska irrigationists want a state board of irrigation to be composed of the water superintendents of the various districts of the state and the state engineer, instead of the present ineffective board made up of the governor, attorney general and land commissioner. They believe that the growing irrigation interests re quire this recognition. Kearney Hub. CLARK HOPS TO IT. Paul F. Clark has filed as a candi date for the republican nomination down in the First district. Clark is going to hop right into the campaign and isn't going to let any grass grow under his feet all winter long. Hast ings Tribune. There are a dozen business firms in Omaha and Lincoln who are spend ing upwards of $15,000 a year in ad vertising. They find it a good pay ing investment, too. The state should profit by their example and go out after business in a businesslike way. It is possible for a Nebraska man to outfit himself completely in made-in-Nebraska furnishings hat, suit, shoes, sox, underclothes, shirt, collar, neck tie, etc. And every Nebraska man should take pride in doing it when ever he can. When the editor of this booster or gan becomes superintendent of public instruction for Nebraska, his first of ficial act will be to issue an order that the "History of Nebraska" be made as mucb a part of the school course as arithmetic, grammar or any other old study. has. If Nebraska grows as rapidly during the next ten years as the Be atrice Creamery Co. has during the last ten- it will be the richest and most thickly populated state in the Union. It pays to advertise pays anybody or anything that has the goods to advertise. ALBERT J. BRUSH. The death of Albert J. Bruse, which occurred Thursday morning, Novem ber 23, will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends and admirers. Mr. Bruse was one of the leading mu sicians of the city, and manager and leader of the orchestra bearing his name. He took a prominent part in the organization of the Musicians' Union in this eity and was always deeply interested in its welfare. Al ways cheerful, thoroughly in love with his profession, and a musician of far more than average ability, Mr. Bruse not only made warm friends but achieved a reputation by no means limited to this city and its suburbs. He was taken ill with typhoid-pneumonia about four weeks ago, and from the beginning he sank slowly despite all efforts. His death, while not un expected, was nevertheless a terrible shock to a family already bereaved, his father, Henry F. Bruse, having died less than two weeks before of the same malady. The funeral of Mr. Bruse will be held Sunday, bnt at the hour this paper goes to press the arrangements had not been completed. Due notiee, however, will be given in the daily newspaper. To the surviving relatives of the dead musician the sincere sym pathy of a host of friends will be extended. PURSE FOR CONGRESS. Word comes from a Fifth district democrat that a move is on foot to persuade W. J. Furse to become a can didate for congress on the democratic ticket. The democracy of the Fifth would have to search a long time be fore finding a candidate who would be as strong as John Furse. Will Maupin's Weekly is of the opinion that the nomination of Furse would put the democracy of that district in almighty good fighting trim for th reason that it would heal all sore spots and solidify the party. He a young man of unusual ability, has the knack of making friends of all who come to know him, and then holding: their friendship, and it what is com monly known as a "good mixer." As private secretary to Governor Shallen berger, and as a member of the state railway commission, Mr. Furse had ample opportunity to demonstrate his ability to serve the people in that most responsible position and serve them well. The mere mention of him name in connection with the nomina tion gives this humble little newspa per great pleasure. THE WAGES OF SIN. Will Maupin's Weekly is not going to point any moral in the suicide , Theodore Stanisies. His act of self destruction merely proves the troth of Holy Writ "The wages of sin is death." A few months ago he was a man of wealth, with such position as wealth commands. Today he lies in the morgue, self-murdered, branded as a felon and most of his wealth dissipat ed between the time of his crime and the time of his suicide. And the money for whieh he schemed and st rived and committed crimes not a dollar of it goes with him into the great beyond. They don't put poekets in shrouds. WOMEN IN OFFICE. Forty-four women were elected, to the office of eounty superintendent in Nebraska at the recent election. ThLj, means that almost one-half of Ne braska's counties have put their edu cational affairs in the hands of women. In addition to these sev eral others were eleeted to other coun ty office. Several are already serving as village or town officials, several are bank officials. Slowly and surely the women are entering the field of polit ical life, just as they have already entered business and professional life. AN HUMBLE APOLOGY. Shortly after- the explosion that wrecked the Los Angeles Times build ing, the Miehigan Tradesman printed an editorial charging that the explo sion was the result of a onion labor plot, and that careful investigation would reveal that it had been hatched up by President James Lynch and other officials of the International Typographical Union. President Lynch immediately sued the Trades man for $25,000 libeL A few days ago the Michigan Tradesman retracted its charge and made an abject apology to President Lyneh and his fellow oSeials, and to the International Typo graphical Union. It also assumed all the costs of the case, including a reasonable at torney's fee, and the case was dis missed. HENEY "S OPINION. In a Kansas City interview Francis J. Heney, the California graft fighter said: "President Taft will be renomi nated by a party convention and beat en by the people at the polls." Heney is in a position to judge because he has been traveling all over the country the past summer. And a peculiar thing about the sentiment he has dis covered is that progressive ideas are just as general in Pennsylvania and New York as they are in the middle west. In his opinion if all the people beat Taft "hands down." "There m a political revolution going on in this country," he added, "and the only persons who do not seem to be aware of it are the so-called leaders of the republican and democratic parties."
