Make OUR ba Enterprise Natiom N. . DIAL, Pres. though no one would like better than I to "dab" in politics, and so ardently support, (with my tongue) imly party, even if on the losing side, I'm not yet convinced that South Carolina is ready for woman suffrage. True none in our state are debarred from the ballot but the idiot, the lunatic And the criminal aind the negro, and most assuredly our women come under neither head. My opinion however, is that South Caro lina as a whole is not prepared for woman suffrage. I may be old fash ioned, and I confess I am old fashioned enlough never to want a klivorce law introduced in our grand old state. Now don't think I believe in all that "Losh," (because I am an anti) of the holme and hearthstone being women's sphere and her inability to cope with so weighty a problem as poiitics, for wVOllanl is certainly man's equal and ,an talk politics too, and some of them make shrewd electioneers for their favorite, 'which is as it should be. Granted that the ballot was ours. would we make good? Take the statute books of Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and \Wyomtlinig, where women have voted re spectively from fifteen to forty years, and it is astonishing how few laws have been put upon those books for the P rotet ion of h uman life. It is ill to s:y in rebuttal of this fact that w 1Iln stufillrage has not existed long 'no:Uihin tih e states. for the enact Imenit of uitch laws.

ROPER, Cashier est to see that the ballot for woman should be made universal. It is true that woman suffrage has caused a fewt good laws, but it is a bewildering fact, iudged on any ground, but in 'these facts lies the reason why, in the minds of many men and women-woman suf rage has been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

Trout Streams in Rockies. Nearly all of the Recky mountain for ests contain splendid tr'ut streams, and, as most of these are kept well stocked, they will doubtless furnish sport for many generations. Game Is also to be found in most of the forests, and in some of them is abundant; but the big game is rapidly disappearing, and may of the species are doomed. Thus the Olympic forest is the last Stand of the Roosevelt elk, and the mountain sheep is found only in a few forests. On the other hand. (leer and bear are still abundant in many of the forests, and especially in the lilackfcet, Kootenai, Kanisku, Coeur d'Alene and Flathead of Montana. In the Southwest there is still good hunt ing on the Apache, the Sigreaves and the Tonto of Arizona and in the Mo gollon and Gila country of New Mex ico. R(coglnized Ad vantages.
