THE MINERAL INDEPENDENT PUBLISHED ON TUESDAY AND FRIDAY BY THE MINERAL PUBLISHING CO., AT SUPERIOR, MINERAL COUNTY, MONTANA Entered as second-class matter May 6, 1916, at the poetafice at Superior. Montana, under.the Act of March 8.1897. _ Subscription $2.00 Per Year In Advince. Advertising rates fur- ! nished on application. BERTHA B. LUCKEY, morrow AND MANAGER All general business letters and correspondence should be ad- dressed to The Mineral Independent, Superior, Montana. Letters for publication must bear the writer's signature, although it need not be published. _ WOMAN AND THE BALLOT Capt. W. R. Sheilds, court bailiff at Wallace. who was a re- cent visitor in this locality, is a_Dixie Democrat. A Dixie Demo- crat is like a Billy Sunday revivalist, always anxious to convert someone to their own particular straight and narrow path. We; are willing to be converted but alopathic doses of any particular ' political persuasion is rather confusing. However, we do specu- late to some extent on just how the women ofMontana are faking their newly acquired enfranchisment. Are they studying the ; different political parties with a view of intelligently joining them 1 or can we judge the whole state from observations in our own county? Out of approximately 600 worm n voters in the county only 160 have registered, yet we believe when election time rolls around the majority will be on hand to cast their votes for the! best man, regardless of his particular political faith. At a recent convention of the Good Government Organization ! held in Missoula, a strictly woman's affair, four Montana orators! of some note spoke on the political merits of their respective polit- ical beliefs. We will wager that two-thirds of the women present were unable to grasp the fine points of this political high school , course, for most of them belong to the kindergarden class when politics is the subject. Had Senator Walsh been the only speaker there would undoubtedly have been many democratic conversions, ; for the Senator's Jeffersonian doctrines sounded good. But fol- lowed by that firey little socialisik Ex -Mayor Duncan of Butte, the soundness of the democratic faith was lost in the mystic maite of \down with the monopolists.\ -- We believe that it will take years ofeducation for women to affiliate themselves inanigentfy With any political organization, but will go on letting the men run the affairs of the state and na- tion without making especial effort to attempt any radical changes, except perhaps in affairs that affect their own locality and their homes, and state affairs when it pertains to bettering the conditions of women iincl_gbildren_throughQut .,the,, stale, Were we the official mouth piece of the Suffrage League of Montana (as we are of the local politicians) we would advise that the State Orphan Asylum be moved from its Ruby valley exile and given a more central location where advantages of civilization could be enjoyed. Let the children of the state come first, under all circumstances, for they are the citizens of tomorrow. Among the great number of newspaper men in this country there are a few who cannot defend attacks upon their public careers without bringing into the discussion things of a private or personal nature. But happily men of this caliber are very few and we will continue to cast the mantle of charity over this local editor whose own domestic career does not appear to the casual observer to be such a howling success. \Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be A book entitled \Trials Troubles and Tribulations of a Country Editor,\ from the pen of our esteemed contemporary might be interesting. — NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS The Superior State Bank Mineral County's Only Bank Capital Paid In $20,000.00 Banking In All Its Branches q The small depositor will be made as welcome as the big fellow. q We are a home institution with strong outside connections. q We want all the banking business of the county.

But honestly now, didn't , you want to come?\ She turned upon him in a little burst , of passion. \Yes!\ shot. cried. \Of course I did! I wished to come, mad - 13, senor. It makes my heart patter, like that\—she made her little lingers \patter\—\to be wooed even by a Yankee. But I do not love you in the least. Oh not Even if I wished to do so, there are too many reasons why I could not, and when I explain you will understand.\ , \I know. It's Ramon Alfares. You're halfway engaged to him. But you know you don't love him.\ \Ali it is not too sure! He is of tine family, he is rich, he is handsome. Not possibly could I care for any man who was not all of those. All my life I have thought him a very sweet gen- tleman, and for a long time it has been agreed that I should be his wife. There are so many reasons why I should say yes.\ \You haven't mentioned any that would be binding in law.\ \My father's wish. Is not that suffi- cient?\ . \You disregarded that once.\ \That was but a flutter. All the time I knew I should be Ramon's wife when the time arrived. Perhaps I could refuse to wed a man my father chose for me, but no nice Spanish girl would dare to wed a man her father did not like. Do you seer' \But it's no cinch your father won't positively hunger for me once we get chummy.\ \You are too different, you disregard our customs, you are bold. You con- tinue to come here against my wishes, which no Spanish gentleman would dare to do.\ \Oh I'm no Spanish gentleman. I'm just an emotional blond. But I'm bound to marry you. Let's arrange , the details. Shall it be a churcla wed ding?\ She laughed deliciously. \What nice game it is we have played! B now I ,piust talk seriously.\ \You witch!\ he breathed. \Do you think I could ever give you up?\ She checked him gravely. \Truly it was just a game, and yet It was not altogether so either. But here is what I came to say. The strangest thing has happened. Not until last night after the opera did I even dream of it, and even now I cannot believe. Oh, I am so proud! Coming home from the theater my father told me—oh, the most wonderful thing. I promised very faithfully not to tell, so—he is to be the next president—of—Panama.\ 0 , \Pres\— Anthony stared at her in frank amazement. \Why I thought Old Man Alfarez\— \It seems your country does not like him because be hates Americans—see? Now that you know the truth you must see at once that by no means could I marry to a person like you.\ \Why not?\ \Ohe! Don't you understand? I shall be the finest lady in the republic. All the men will adore me. I will have suitors—not one or two as now, but many. My father will be the most fa- mous man of all the republic perhaps in the whole world, I don't know.\ \I don't think It will make any dif- ference with him when he knows who 1 am. I'll tackle your father, and I'll promise to vote for him.\ \You are very formy.\ She gazed at him seriously, one tiny foot curled un- der her, her chin nestling into her palm. \Do you love me?\ \Not one single speck. I merely like you to make love at me and cause my heart to joint).\ The little hypocrite continued to voice words of warning and denial, though her eyes invited him, and for a long time they continued this delightful play of pleading and evasion. But at last Chiquita jumped up with a great appearance of alarm, \Heavens the time!\ she cried._,\1 have stayed too long by much. Ste- phanie will miss me.\ He rose and stretched out his hand as if to hold her. \Shall I come again tomorrow?\ She grew suddenly earnest. \No no, senor. That is something you should not ask. If ever we are to meet again it mtist be with my father's consent. Please! Do not urge, for truly I would have to refuse.\ She let her palm rest in his an'instant, and her cheek went scarlet as he pressed it to his lips. Then she said: \Go Mr. Bra - zee riue. jive greatly It surprises me to find you here I cannot say. It gave me such a start! And, Senor Antonio— my father may be found any day at his bank.\ Before he could detain her she was/gone, flitting up the path with just °he flashing smile of mischief over her shoulder. Anthony went home with Ids bead in the clouds. All his doubts were now at rest: for while el:lianas had stubbornly nenien hitn all encouragement, tie felt sitre that her heart had answered. It was in the highest spirits, therefore. that he opened a letter he found await- ing him and read as -follows: Dear Kirk—I hope you are heartily sick of yourself and reedy to do something decent for a change. Knowing your arts- ' tocratlo habits as I do, I realize you must owe a lot of money by this time, and your new friends must be getting tired of you. I have been expecting you to draw on me daily and am taking this occasion to warn you In your own expensively ac- quired college English that \there is noth- ing doing\—except upon one condition. If you will agree to behave A urself in fu- ture I will pay your debts, nil you west and give you a lob as operator Al $40 a month. But you will go where I send you. and you will stay where you are put. 1 I will do the thinking for both of us and I Judge of your associates. Maybe if you prove to be any wood at all I will arrange with the police to let you spend your va- cations in \that dear New York\ which still shows sigma of your red paint brush. I would be pies sed to have an avology by return mail, so that I may most you in New Orleans and start you off once more on the road to decency and self respect. You will never be a success at anything. but I am always ready to do my duty. This Is my last offer, and if you refuse you may distinctly and definitely go to the devil. As ever your loving father, DARWIN K. ANTHONY. P. 5.—I can get good operators for $30 a month. The extra $10 is pure sentiment Spurred by his present exhilaration. Kirk wrote an answer. which he read with a good deal of Satisfaction before sealing it up: Dear Dad—You affectionate letter with the kind offer to take charge of a siding' out in the Dakotas is at hand. I would Itke,to help you along with your business, but \Upward and Onward\ is ray motto, and you'll have to raise that salary a bit. am drawing $=5 a month at present, quarters furnished and promotion prom- ised. I have made some good Investments, and there are no debts to settle.. Inclosed find my last bank statement, which will doubtless prove a great disappointment to YOU. If you need a good master of transpele tation I would be pleased to consider an offer at any time, provided the salary is satisfactory, but your proposal to edit my acquaintances is out of the question. My decency and self respect are doing well, thank you, and I like the climate. The salary would have to be about $6,000 a year. As always your devoted and obe- dient son. KIRK. P.
