Women Work for Eight Cents Day
I'm Mexico-Corridor Gossip.

r. L. Ballinger, of the City of Mexico,
was al the Bates last night and told
story in which there was much food for
thought. He is one Of the owners of an
establishment in Mexico which handles
fancy linen wares which cannot be made
In any other country because Of the pc
culiar Industrial conditions necessary for
marketing the goods. Mr.. Ballinger said
last night that his firm had about 5000
Mexican women and girls employed max
ing the fancy table and other linens at an
average wage of cents a day in
Mexican silver. which Is worth but half
as much as gold. He said the attractive
feature of his business was that his firm
could pay for Its labor in silver at 80 cents
on the dollar and market its goods for gold
In this country. He said there were many
good opportunities for making money for
Americans in Mexico, chiefly because OF the
cheap labor there.

INDICTMENTS QUASHED.
Judge Baker Dismisses Cases Against
Several Mine Operators.

Thomas, Edward and William Woolford,
who are the owners and operators of mines
at Linton, Ind, who were indicted by the
federal grand jury for using pieces OF metal
in payment of wages in lieu of money. were
released yesterday by Judge Baker, who
quashed the indictments on the ground
that the metal coins were for trade only.
and were not worded like official coins.
The mine operators say that they do not
compel their men to accept the metal coin
as they give them money IL they prefer 1t.
This will probably put an end TO the prose-
cution of mine operators who conduct
"pluck-me" stores and the system is likely
to flourish from now on in the mining and
manufacturing districts.

will enter the shadow of the earth at 5:45
p. m. Indianapolis time. reach the maxi
mum of observation at 1926 p. m. and will
leave the shadow of the earth at 9.07 D. m
The shadow of the earth will cover almost
the entire disk of the moon, excepting
small section which under certain condi-
tons may be altogether invisible. If the
atmospheric conditions are favorable for
observation the obscured moon will appear
as a copper-red disk at the time OF the

light IL receives from the rays OF the sun

earth. Ii will be visible over nearly all the
United States, in Europe and in some parts
OF Africa.

In the Peoples Hands.

At every session Of the legislature it
is more and more strongly impressed on
the people that as q legislative body
this branch of our government in the
main fails OF its purpose. 1t does not
pass many OF the laws that the people
want, and it passes many that they do
not want. Like an ancient and broken
tool the Legislative body" is out of re-
pair, and provokes more often the anger
of its owner than it serves his ends. Are
legislatures becoming an obsolete form of
government? Nowadays the people have
come to point of view where they want
to speak with their own voice on public
questions and cast the ballots with their
own hands. They fret under so-called
representative government which does
not represent. If the people could have
voted on the cleomargarine bill, there IS
no question what the result would have
been. Concerning mrny other bills the
same will apply. No lobby can buy up
the voters of whole state. The en-
thusiasm with which the voters enter
into public questions when they are given
an opportunity was shown in the water
works election in Topeka. That is the
way people want to act on every public
question. They don't want the legisla-
ture which is at the beck and call of rival
interests to do these things tor them.
They want to do more of the voting
themselves Is there anyone who would
say it isn't safe to trust the peoples
judgment? Representative government
is good, but it isn't near as good as di-
rect vote of the people.-Topeka State

Music ON the GraphOphOne.

Few people appreciate the marvellous
powers of the Graphophone as an enter
tsiner. 1t is an instrument which,
though it costs much less than the least
expensive musical instrument, willenable
its owner to have at pleasure music o.
any kind-from that of bagpipe to that
of grand military band. 1t reproduces
vocal selections and gives one command
of every pleasure that appeals to the
sense of hearing. No investment pays
such large returns in pleasure. Besides
reproducing the musical and other rec
ords made for entertainment purposes,
the Graphophonc will record immediate
ly and reproduce at once and as often as
is desired, your own words or song, or
any sound. BY writing to the Columbia
Phonograph Co, 72O-722 Olive St, St.

The Mortgage.

The mortgage holds its own. 1t calls
for lust as many dollars when grain is
cheap as when it is dear.
1t is not affected by drought
1t is not drowned out by heavy rains.
Late springs and early frosts never
trouble it.
Potato bugs do not disturb it,
Moth and rust do not destroy it,
1t grows nights, SUNDAYS. rainy days,
and even holidays.
1t brings a sure crop every year, and
sometimes twice year
1t produces cash every time.

1t is not subject to the speculation of

trade.
1t is load that gals and frets and
chafcs.
1t is burden that the farmer cannot
shake off
1t is with him morning, noon and night.
1t sits with him at the table.
1t gets under his pillow when he sleeps.
1t rides upon his shoulder during the
day.
1t consumes his grain crop
1t devours his cattle.
1t selects the finest horse and latest
steers.
1t lives upon the first fruits of the
season.
1t stalks into the dairy where the busy
housewife tolls day after day and month
after month, and takes the incest cheese
and the choicest butter.
1t shares the children's bread and robs
them of half their clothes.
1t is the memorable and exacting task

It's whip is as merciless and cruel as
the lash of the slave driver.
1t is a menace to liberty, a hinderance
to progress, curse to the nation.-

WOmen'S School Vote.

Those who have made the small school
vote of women an argument against Civ
ing them full suffrage should ponder the
recent utterance of Mr. Skinner, state
superintendent OF public instruction, on
the women's school vote in New York
state. In an open letter, he says of the
education law now pending in the lcgis-
lature:
"The bill contains no provision abridg-
ing in any way the right Of women to
vote at school meetings, as guarangteed
by the present school law. So
far as my power extends, no legislation
of any character will bepermitted which
takes away any of the rights of women
under the present law.
at may be true that women generally
do not avail them themselves of the priv
lego, and fail to vote except i'll small num-
bers. This criticism may also apply to
men. | have always found, however,
that where women exercise the right OF
suffrage at school meetings, they are
generally found upon the side which
represents the best interests of our
schools"
Helen Kendrick Johnson claims that a
class of voters who only vote occasion
ally must be danger to the state. That
depends on what sort of voters they are.
There is large class of respectable men
who do not generally vote, but who,
once in a long while, when corruption
has become intolcrable, do turn out in
force and bring about change, as in the
case of Tammany few years ago. This
element among male voters is sometimes
called the Quaker vote" The fact that
these refined and intelligent men have the
right of suffrage is not danger to the
state; it is a distinct advantage to the
state. 1t would be greater advantage
if they voted at every election; but even
their occasional vote does good 1t has
been the same with the womens school
vote They do not go to the polls IN
large numbers except when there is some
important issue at stake; but then they
turn out, and vote on the right side.
Mrs. Johnson says the women's school
vote has accomplished nothing which
could not have been accomplished better
without it; but this is contradicted by
wcllknown facts. Gov. Roosevelt says
that a new school house was badly
needed in his town of Oyster Bay, but
all efforts to get one failed until the
mothers of the children were allowed to
vote on the question. Then they got
their new school house at once. This is
only sample of many similar cases.
1t should also be remembered that the
women's vote is small only where it is
limited to school suffrage. In the states
where the women have full suffrage,
they vote as generally as the men.

Mr.. Cleveland said, Eyes, we are doing

Orders are coming in very fast and we
have our hands chuck full, and we are
head over heels in business. So busy are
we at present that the men in our factory
are working day and night, and we are
rushing aur business along as fast as we
can. Although we are only a little over
10 months old we are right up to time
and can hold our own with any other
trade company for business i'll rhat line
We have our cycle skate introduced all

Mr.. Cleveland stated that the Samuel
Marshall Cycle Skate Company, OF Wor-
cester, Mass, was given an order to
build 10, 900 pairs of the new ". ), Clevc-
land 100" model.
Not only has the Worcester firm re-
ccived contract, but the Horton Tool
Supply Company, New York, also has
received one. This firm will make try
at 5000 pairs. The only thing that MIR,
Cleveland holds against the CITY of Buff
slo is that it is ALWAYS behind some other
cities tor cycling schools, cycling Kinks,
