The A. P. A's of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
succeeded in electing their candidates
for school committee the other day by a
blunder of the women Catholic voters.
The school board is bipartisan, and
each party nominates half the members.
The Republicans split. however, and
nominated two sets, one supported by the
A.P.A., and the others opposed. The
Catholic women had been instructed not
to vote for the Democratic candidates,
but for the anita F. A Repu blican.

The municipal elections in the West
show that the Republican tidal wave has
not receded IN the least. The most nota-
BILE Republican victory is i'll Chicago,
where the Republicans have elected the
Mayor and large majority of the city
govern ment by overwhelming pluralities.
Chicago, like most of the large cities, is
naturally Democratic, but the Democ-
racy are easily beaten in their strong
holds this year.

The women of Ohio do not seem to have
very generally availed themselves of the
privilege of voting for school officers. In
Cleveland out of 65, 600 women who were
eligible only 5000 voted. In Toledo they
did not vote to any extent, though bad
weather probably had something to dc
with it. But very few of the women
candidates were elected.

The Parallels and their Home; The
Parallels by the Lake. By William FL.
Thompson, M. D., LID, author Of
Christ in the Old Testament, etc. The
author of this work was born in the
Holy Land, and his youth was spent
amongN the scenes and surroundings
which be describes. In the chapter upon
the Parallels of the Sower, the author
give beautiful description of the Sea
of Galilee, which is greatly changed now
from what it was in our Saviour's time,
"when all the mountain sides were
green with vineyard terraces or rose in
steps for thousands of feet of olive
orchards, with villages en- powered among
fig and almond trees or on every slope.
while turreted castles and walled cities
crowned the precipices all around the
lake, In the closing chapter of his
very interesting work DR.. Thompson says:
In these parallels, our Lord foretold the
story of long ages to come, because he
knew that he was dealing with perma-
nent force in human nature which comes
from mans intuition that there is more
than this world which he sees about
him, and life more enduring than that
which his fleeting breath sustains. (New

A Battle Over WhiSISers.

st. Louis is tho scene Of a lively bat
tie between organized employers and
the walters in hotels and restaurants,
etc. 1t is the Same old strife over whisk-
ers. The employers want the men to
be clean shaven, and the employees re-
fuse to allow the hirsuto adornment
which covers their faces to DO removed.
The trouble has even extended to the
hackmen and coachmen, who have COM
bined with the walters and have taken
a firm stand against allowing their
whiskers to be removed.
They have been seeking to obtain the
sympathy of the labor organizations Of
St. Louis, but the members Of the Bar
bers' union are against them and arc
ready to cut the Objectionable whiskers
off, shave them off, chop them off--in
short, anything to remove them.
The legislature has taken a hand in
the trouble, and two bills have been i'll
troduced, one requiring all walters il
hotels, restaurants, ETC., to be clean
shaven and the other making it Z mis-
demeanor for an employer to disorimi-
nate against an employee who WCors q

was valuable in the eyes Of tho man to

The latter came to tho counts assist
