The indications now are that
the campaign in this county this
year will be an interesting one.

In another column we are
publishing an article advocating
women suffrage. The sentiments
expressed are those of
the writer and not ours- We are

iicuiiui. we are neiiuer ior n
nor against it. If the ladies want
to add to their troubles by tak
ing 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 advisability
of 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 soHn havinor foit
the effects of the war. Acid is
higher too because of the great
war demand for sulphuric acid
which is used in making acid
^ nhosohate. 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
will have to be bought except
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
in J* nhlirwtunt r>rrkr?c

America Not Afraid, Says
Wilson.
Cleveland, O., Jan.?President
Wilson, speaking as he said "solemnly,"
warned the Nation tonight
that the time may come
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.
A t?f?rir>a Je
? Mvt&vu i<j iiui aJUUU ui anybody,"
he said. "I know I 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. I am afraid of the danger
of inadequacy; I am afraid of the
danger of not being able to express
the chief character of thu
country with tremendous might
and effectiveness whenever we
are called upon to act in the field
of the world's affairs."
The President spoke in Cleveland
tonight with more gravity
and force tean he has shown dur
>uK au> ui ins previous addresses
l ie was applauded frequently
and when he spoke of defending
the Nation's honor the cheering
was tremendous.
Thanks
We wish to thank one and all
for their help in building a

V A, Price,
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 j
House a few days ago. Two j
years ago men would have said j
this was impossible. Three years ]
ago a bill to this effect was ta- j
bled in committee with laughter.
On Thursday some of the strong- i
est and most progressive repre .
sentatives spoke for such a bill
and voted for it. 51 men in favor,
6l men opposed. Onlv 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 ,
biassed politically with crimi- ,
nals, children, and idiots.
Just let them put on their i
thinking cap and they will see 1
the injustice of refusing to tax- 1
paying women the right to sav
how her taxes shall be spent.

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 of 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

[morals. Why should thev not
work for good government?
They have the time. "Who will
tend the baby while you vote?"
asked a husband. "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
ease of his wife. Fifty-one men
have acknowledged this by their
vuiva. mere win soon be 51
thousand.

Floods in the We?t. r C
San Diego, Cal., Jan. 29.4-By
wireless to San Francisco.? One ~r
hundred lives have been lost, as
nearly as any estimate can show,
and charming little valleys for t
30 miles north of the Mexican f
line lie desolate tonight from f
floods and cloudbursts. t
With the death toll in the s
0:ay Valley seeming established
at 50 and all relief agencies j
working in that direction, re
ports reached here late today of .
floods sweeping the San Luis
Rev and San Pasqual Valleys,
doubling the loss of life. With
communication almost altogeth 1
er cut off, it was impossible to '
list accurately the number of \
dead; conjectures and meager
reports alone were available.
Seventeen bodies were taken
out of San Diego Bay before J
nightfall. These had been
swept down the Ota3* River
whernhe lower dam went out
late Thursday and the current
of the flood was thought to have J
carried many others to sea.
We will gin only on *
Saturday from this '
time on. (
