Who? Yes! Who?
Who wants to Rot rich? Everybody. Who is
going to got rich? Only the prudent hard-working
hustler who saves his int.ney and puts it to
work for him. You can't amass a fortune by sav-
ing alone you have to mako your dollars earn
more dollars. They certainly won't earn anything
tied up in an old sock or buried. Put your dollars
in a good reliable bank like ours. Let them work
with our dollars. Teach them to have "cents."
They like to wo-k. Give them a good job. We
pay interest on time deposits.

OKLAHOMA FAIK AT LKAST
The Dally Oklahoman not an ex-
ponent of woman's suffrage nor
nover has been is fair at least as
shown by tho following article which
must express the honest opinion of
every fair-minded citizen whether a
devotee of suffrage or not. A vote
of moro than 25000 for suffrage and
a majority of some 9000 over all
votes cast including the "silent vote"
ought to be sufficient evidence of the
will of the people and yet a few nntls
would seek to enjoin the unques-
tioned will of the people as expressed
at the polls November 5 th throwing
respect for majority rule to the
winds. -The article follows:
Regardless of how one feels about
woman s Buiiragre me exniuiuon 01 wie
antl-BUffranets taxes one's patience. It
la evident they don't know what to do
but It is equally evident that If by any
technicality- they could suspend or
abrogate the verdict or the majority of
the voters rendered at the polls they
would proceed at once to do It.
First they were going to enjoin the
governor from certifying: the adoption
of tho suffrage extension amnedment
liut were Rocked in that sortlo by the
fact that no court order could restrain
the executive from perfurmlna hln of-
nclal acts. Such Immunity It seems
does not hedge about tho Htrrutarv of
state nnd accordingly un Injunction
was to be Invoked to stay that idlcer'-)
handi but that method alBo has been
abandoned. It Is now announced that
the amendment Is to be Inviilldntril by
attacking the accuracy of tho election
returns.
Uespert for maloilty rule Is some-
thing which the .int.HufiraeetH nom-
Inuly are quite devoid of. The same
charge lies against ths attorneys re-
tained In this fight. For the sovereignty
of the voter they don't appear to caro
n rap. They are willing to belittle the
ballot box and dirlde the mandate of
the majority. If nnvwlmro In the courl-
practlce's bag of rl:li there Is o.io
that will "put this ovor" n.i scruple
shall stand in the way. Those attorneys
may Indignantly deny such noeiiriitlon.
but that Is their position nevertheless.
There Is a real menace In this sort
of thing. It Is the sort of thin that
Is changing our government from a
government by law to a government ry
the sharp practice of lawyers.
Democracy a8 a practical form or
government Is predicted upon the
honesty of electors upon their
acquiescence In popular Judgment up-
on civic sportsmanship. If jou please.
These nntl-suffrngets haven't glimpsed
the rudiments of democracy.
You won't mlBS tho dollar but
they'll miss the nurse.
SECURE SUFFRAGE FIRST
Declaring that it Is of first Import-
ance for tho United States to go on
. record as truly democratic govern-
ment before Its peace delegates meet
in conference with the delegates of
other nations the Massachusetts Wo-
man Suffrage Association has peti-
tioned the Senate of the United States
to take early and favorable action on
the Suffrage Federal Amendment.
Our armies will be returned when
peace la signed. The Red Cross must
stay on the job continuously.

SUFllKMi: SACRIFICE!
The homo of M. Turner and family
of Clear creek wu saddened this
week by a message from the war de-
partment announcing the death of
their son Dernola who was killed In
action October 3rd. No message had
como from Dernola for many weeks
and the family were beginning to fear
the worst when tho death messago
came. It Is with sincere regret that
wo aro forced to chronicle tho pass-
ing of this worthy young son of
America and the Inconsolable grief of
tho family who havo waited so long
for tldlncn of their hplnvpd ono hut tn
( wait In vain Is sad Indeed. It Is with
feelings of deepest sincerity that The
Herald joins in extending sympathy
to tho sorrowing ones.
From week to week as wo
chronicle tho death of our noble
sons at tho hnnd of tho4unspoakablo
Hun feeling llso up within us which
breeds deeper hatred nnd loathing for
that hellish liordo whoso hand has not
boon stayed from any crlmo within
their fiendish power to inflict and the
more wo desire that Germany must
pay. We hno only contempt too for
tho ono who. In tho faco of those.
death messages which aro being
brought to the fathers nnd mothers
of America would endorse leniency
In our settlement with the Hun and
who slnco tho armistice has been
signed havo quit work for tho Red
Cross and other war activities nnd sit
meekly holding their hands. The war
Is not over for us until the last
Hung son or America has been re
turned to tho U. S. A. and tho death
of overy bravo boy who fell In the
struggle has been justly and fully
acuged.

SUFFRAGE RIGHTLY HE
OPPOSED?
One now and then though wo
must say not frequently hoars tho ic-
mark "I nm opposed to woman suf-
frage." or "I'm agin vlmmln otln"
usually tho latter expression la heard
for thoso In theso up-to-date modern
times who still oppose woman
suffrage almost Invariably though
not always speak tho '0i nnculru
which betrays Inability to grasp ad-
vanced ideas and reason things out.
How anyone could say "I hm op-
posed to woman suffrage" attr I ho
record tho women of the wot Id have
made l.ho past fow years is more1 than
wo can understand. Wo can only at-
tribute such an .lUltu.Io to a lack of
Information or btubbnrn refusal to he
informed basing their map-shot
judgment solely on what they thin!;
without an attempt to study or In
vestigate. How one can rend of thl
noble work of the woint'ii of Eng-
lana prance ucigiur) American unt'
outer of me billed cojnt.'.es nnd yet
say that women are lacapablo of a
wise use of the ballot la s) ridiculous
as to be ludicrous. All womon we
admit may not use the ballot wise-
ly but do all men do so'? Not on your
life; and they havo had the ballot
ever since that ImmortU day when It
was declared "taxation without
representation is tyranny" our good
old Pilgrim fathers never dreaming
but that women would over bo
shielded from the rough side of busi-
ness llto and that men their natural
providers and protectors with the
same sanctity and chivalry as did
they and that should tho tlmo ever
como that women would be forced to
work out their own destiny on the
troubled sea of the business world
that the men of such generation
would bo Just enough to glvo them a
voice In tho matter of taxation and
all othor public matters which the
law decrees they must abide by nnd
uphold just as is being done today
all ovor tho world for regardless of
what you or I may think about It wo-
man suffrage ts sweeping the nations
of tho earth just as Is prohibition and
all tho good things that are coming
out of this terrible conflict just clos-
ing. We havo no argument with thoso
who are stubbornly unconvlnclngly
"agin wlmmln votln'" but to those
willing to listen to facts we would
ask that they Investigate and study
the question before being too suro of
whore they stand. What of the
British Emplro which refused wo
men tho ballot so long. The war
changed all that. What tho womon of
England havo done to gain the ballot
has been dono by the women of all
the allied nations.
Alt tho vast resources of tho
British Emplro manpower woman-
power wealth all the valor and bull-
dog determination all that she had
was put on tho red altar of Mars and
necessarily so.
The women of England have glori-
fied themselves. In 1914 there wore
200000 women workers In England.
Tho end of the war saw 5000000
English women engaged In every
kind of labor in munltlou plants
engineering farming In transporta
tion Ir a word taking me places oi
men. In France alone 20000 Eng-
lish women were driving motors
working as clerks nurses bakers
wherever and whatever tho needs of
war.
With such records before us every-
where to say nothing' of tho hard
ships suffering heartrending sacri
fices and accursed acominauons en-
dured by tho noble women at tho
hand of tho frightful Hun. In the war-
torn countries of Europe nil of which
was borne heroically who can say
woman Is inferior In any respect.
Surely there "alnt no seen unlmal" as
would say It.

A GOOD MAGAZINE
FOR HERALD FOLKS

Tho Herald Is In a position to offer
Woman's World of Chicago ono of
the high class magazines of tho
country to all paid In ndvnnco sub-
scribers to tho Herald at half tho reg-

of tho Herald is $1.50 per year In

Mde the county The regular sub-

ing this club offer Is not to Increase
our circulation but to assist us in se-
curing a prompt cash renewal from
as many or our subscribers as possi-
ble. The government requires that
all subscriptions bo discontinued nt
