An Ex-Governor a Medicine peddIer.

TOPEKA, KAs., Oct. 24.-While
the nation at large is subject to oc-
casional agitations over the ques-
ton of what it shall do with its
ex-Presidents, it seems interest
may sometimes arise ove the sub
sequent occupations of men who
have been governors OF states.
"What shall we do with our ex-
governors?" is the new question.
John w. Leedy, party leader for
many years and executive of the
commonwealth of Kansas for two
years, has answered the query for
himself in a notable way.
He is to be a vender of a new
patent medicine.
"a man can't make a business
of being Governor" he says. "Ht

he wanted to, and he must live.

Women will vote in four states
in the coming election, namely /:
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho. The women of the three
first named states have already x
ercised the right of suffrage at one
presidential election, but this will
be Idaho's first trial. Practical
politicians of these four states say
that when woman suffrage Is a
small factor in determining the
result of an election, as the vote
is distilled proportionately to that
cast by the men. In 1895 voting
by women "a a novelty, and
nearly the full strength was brought
out at the polls. Many women
who voted in 1865, however, will
not take the trouble to go to the
polls in 1900. They have found out
all about it. The novelty has
worn of. They take little or no
interest in the outcome of the
election. Experience has shown
that women vote according to SEN
