day and Thursday Night.
MOST WOMEN WILL VOTE
Wichita Mother Makes an Ap-
peal to Others.

The registration books at the City build
ing will be open Tuesday night, Wednes-
day night and Thursday night of the COM
ing week. People may register on those
evenings.
Politically the week just closed has been
one Of the liveliest in the history OF the
city. Thousands Of people have registered
and the rush TO the city building was only
stopped by the mean weather yesterday
morning.
The vote Of the women Of Wichita is go
ing to be large. Those interested were last
night predicting that Monday and Tuesday
more women would register than had ever
before in Wichita AS a woman writes 10
the Eagle cher communication is given be-
low. there is reason why the women OF
the city should be interested in the cleo
ton of Mayor Ross. They as we'll as the
men have stood the sings and arrows OF
hard times and have appreciated the good
times that have come with an improved
Wichita under Mayor Ross.
The women OF the city must register the
first of the week if they desire a continu-
ance of the progress Of the city. There
is more than the political question in the
coming election. The danger of change
at this time is that the city will receive
a back-set through placing it in the hanos
Of men who are inexperienced, and who
will try experiments with municipal gov
ernmes. which Wichita is not in a condi-
ton to stand.

merchant owns a store. He has man
managing it for him. The manager takes
hold of the store. He conscientiously &C
counts for the funds. He improves the
establishment. He creates new and pleas
ing additions. For the first time in long
time the store begins to prosper. What
kind of a merchant would he be who
would then discharge the manager be-
cause another man came along who want
ed to try lot of doubtful experiments?
Would the wise and discreet merchant dis
charge the man who had been tried and
found valuable. or would he be so foolish
as to bounce the faithful servant at the
behest of an applicant, who, being untried,
asked to be placed in charge for the pur-
pose of trying TO put into practice lot
of impractical ideas?
If the voters of Wichita register and
vote as a whole there will be no doubt as
to the election OF Finlay Ross. It is good
business, and all the people will so decide
The Mayor Ross Of today is the same
Ross he was when elected city treas
urer unanimously. He has made a splen-
did mayor. He can not however. be ap-
proved by compliments or concentrations.
The way to approve his administration
and assure its continuation for two years
longer is TO go and register and then turn
out and vote.
The following communication was re-
ceived yesterday, and it is apropos:
APPEAL TO WOMEN.
''Wichita, March IS.
ITO the Editor of the Eagle.
81 do not believe the women Of Wichita
are taking sufficient interest in the cleo
ton l was down to the city building to-
day to register and did not see enough
women to satisfy me that they are going
to do their duty. The mothers Of Wich-
tia have a duty to perform this spring. 1
would like to call the attention of the
mothers who have not registered to the
fact that Mayor Ross has been our friend
He has started a beautiful park. Elect
him and let him complete it. Let US
have one place near the central portion
where we may go on sultry summer days,
where our children may play where there
are flowers and games.
Mayor Ross has tried to improve the
city. He may not have paid so much at
tention to politics as he has to the real
comfort of the people. He has given our
children drinking fountains. He has
striven TO give US advantages here in
Wichita equal to those in large cities.
