Everybody should attend the
Chautauqua Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week. This
is your opportunity to see and
hear things you never have.
The indications now are that
the campaign in this county this
year will be an interesting one.
If half the "mentioned" candi
dates enter the races there will
be a sufficiency. Not too many,
however, for the more the mer
rier?for the newspapers at least.
In another column we are
publishing an article advocating
women suffrage. The sentiments
expressed are those of
the writer and not ours. We are
neutral. We are neither for it
nor against it. If the ladies want
to add to their troubles by taking
on the ballot we shall ut?er
no word of protest. When they
demand the ballot they may
have it so far as we are concerned.
Politics will not likely be
made any worse, and there is a
slight chance for improvement.
The price of fertilizers is so
much higher this year many
farmers are considering the ad
visaointy ot a reduction in the
amount to be used on this year's
crop. Potash is out of sight. In
fact none can be bought except
in mixed goods. Nitrogen is
higher also, cotton seed meal
and nitrate of soda having felt
the effects of the war. Acid is I
higher too because of the great
war demand for sulphuric acid
which is used in making acid
- r-] nhosobate. A great many farm
ers have exchanged seed for
meal, and thus have the nitrogen
and a small amount of potash
ready for this season. Where
this is the case nothing more

acid and the advance in price
will not be felt so keenly.
We believe also that more
manure is being raised this
winter than ever before, which
will aid very greatly in produc
ing abundant crops.
America Not Afraid, Says
Wilson.
Cleveland, 0., Jan.?President
Wilson, speaking as he said "solemnly,"
warned the Nation toM

when he cannot both keep the
United States out of war and
maintain its honor. He declared
that the couhtry must be prepar
ed to defend itself and prepared
at once.
''America is not afriad of any
body," he said. "I know 1 reflect
your feeling and the feeling
of all of our citizens when I say
the only thing I am afraid of is
not being ready to perform my
duty. 1 am afraid of llie danger
of inadequacy; lam afraid of the
danger of not being able to express
the chief character of this
country with tremendous might
and effectiveness whenever we
are called upon to act in the field
of the world's affairs." ^

Why Women Should Vote.
Written for The Journal.
A bill to allow women to vote
in South Carolina was seriously
discussed on the floor of the
House a few days ago. Two
years ago men would have said
this was impossible. Three years
ago a bill to this effect was tabled
in committee with laughter.
On Thursday some of the strongest
and most progressive repre
sentatives spoke for such a bill
and voted for it. 51 men in favor,
6l men opposed. Only ten votes
difference against it. Is it not
time for men and women over
the state to think.
The growth of sentiment in
favor of suffrage is noticeably
greater in the legislature than it
was last year when the bill was
introduced. "It is coming," even
its enemies say, though they
think it will be ten years before
it does come. But it will be less
than ten years that the good men
of this state will say by their
vote that their mothers, sisters
and sweethearts should not be
(classed politically with criminals,
children, and idiots.
Just let them put on their
thinking cap and they will see
the injustice of refusing to taxpaying
women the right to sav
how her taxes shall be spent.
They will see the inconsistency
of holding a mother responsible
for the education and training of
the children when she cannot
choose by her vote the men who
select the teachers, or the officers
who should put out ot business
the drink ing-places and
gambling dens. They will see
the wrong to their women and
children in sending them out in
such large numbers to work in
the mills, stores, and offices and
then giving them no vote to pro
tect themselves in these fields of
industry.
Women have intelligence,
their husbands depend on their
judgement entirely in running
the home, and often ask their
opinion in their business. They
are the first to consider the moral
side of a question. They wo k
for-ihe church.?charitu>#L, -gWPL
' morals. Why should they noi
work for good govern men ti
They have the time. "Who will
t tend the baby while you vote?'
i asked a husbs>nd. "The same
woman who tends it when she
takes time to pay her taxes,'
answered the wife.
A little fair thinking will show
every man that the same reasons
for his voting holds good in the
case of his wife. Fifty-one men
hav e acknowledged this by theii
votes. There will soon be SI
thousand.

Floods in tko West, j
San Diego, Cal., Jan. 29.-i-By
wireless to San Francisco.? One
hundred lives have beenlost, as
nearly as any estimate can show,
and charming little valleys foi
50 miles north of the Mexican
line lie desolate tonight from
floods and cloudbursts.
With the death toll in the
0;ay Valley seeming established
at 50 and all relief agencies
working in that direction, re
ports reached here late today o!
floods sweeping the San Luis
Rev and San Pasqual Vallevs
doubling the loss of life. With
communication almost altogeth
er cut off, it was impossible tc
list accurately the number oi
dead; conjectures and meagei
reports alone were available.
Seventeen bodies were taker
out of San Diego Bay before
nightfall. These had beer
swept down the Otay Rivei
wherMhe lower dam went oul
late Thursday and the current
of the flood was thought to have
carried many others to sea.
We will gin only on
Saturday from this
time on.
