He made one. 1t wasn't extended,
but it was Democratic hence very
good He started out by informing
the young men tGat they must really
study, think and know what the tar

did know what it is. There was 81

To say that the ''preps" are in

are rebellious and they do not hest
tate TO give vent to very strong feel

1t reads something like this:

words). mo prep shall be on the
streets after 1880 unless he is going
to prayer meeting or is after pills at
the drug store" This rule is not in
force on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day evenings. These are red letter
evenings for the props and they are
permitted to be out until nine Thus
are the props vanquished and there
is wailing and gnashing of teeth.
After this the heretofore omnipotent
prep will have to seek fresh air in
the alleys and by-ways, out of the
reach of the vigilant eyes Of Lieut.,
Ramsey, Prof Hare and others. No
more in the quiet hours of the night
will his voice be heard at Stine's or
on the street corner giving the col

PRESIDENT Dole INDUCED in an
unfortunate illustration when he
verified the weakness of human
nature by reference to the facts
of the Hayes Tilden election.
That case unfortunately proves too
much, for it proves the partizan-
ship of Judges as we'll as of common
men. At the same time there can
be little doubt as to the soundness
of the principle for which the Pres
ident was contending. Compared
with the Legislature any court is a
non-partizan body. We cannot too
much commend the provision of
the Constitution which removes
jurisdiction in contested election
cases from the Legislature and
vests it solely in the Courts.

But if only those women are
allowed TO vote who have the quail
fcations say of voters for members
of the upper house, there can be
no question that the general vote
will be much improved. Under the
most unfavorable conditions of the
past, the supporters of good govern
ment could generally count on
majority of the members of the
upper house. Now, if the women
who have the qualifications of
voters for the members of the upper
House are no better and no worse
than the men who have the same
qualifications (and it is safe to say
they are, on the average, no worse)
the results as to the upper house
would remain the same. But the
results as 80 the lower house would
be much improved, because all
such women, a majority of whom
could be counted on for good gov
eminent, would vote for the mem
bers of that house as we'll as for the
members of the upper house, and
it is the lower house that most
needs improvement. Many persons
who will not support good govern
ment must necessarily be allowed |
to vote, but if the majority of wo-
men who may be allowed to vote
favor good government, the result
will be gain. We know from past
experience that the majority of
men entitled to vote for members
of the upper house can be depended
upon to support good government.
Therefore if women with the same
qualifications are allowed to vote
we may be sure of Improvement,
unless the ratio of bad women to
good women so qualified is greater
han the ratio of bad men to good /
men.
