100000 EYES"
An English Outrage Upon a Purely
American Word.

THE English, among other writer's,
are smart indeed, and possess good
taste said a young man who keeps
up with current events, "and while
they may be fair enough when it
comes to big things, things that spread
out until they boone of national sig
nificance, they are sometimes just a
little unfair when it comes to the
smaller things. While reading an
English periodical recently I ran
across an American expression which
has been adopted in England, but they
have had the temerity to change the
spelling which is so thoroughly AMI
originally American that it is not in
any of the standard English diction-
aries. 1t is yet an American prOvin-
cialism. | am speaking of the word
'gOOgOo' as we find it in the American
song, Just Because She Made Dem Goo
goo Eyes If there is a word current
which is distinctly American at this
time, it is the word gOogoo The
American press, which is a sort Of
word factory, has made the word
amenable to the lenses, and so we fire.
quently have the words 'googoo-ed
and 'goOgooing,' which represent the
past and the present.
Nov the English have changed the
spelling of the word. They spell it
! google. BY what authority? This
way of spelling the word detracts
much from it, for it loses much of its
descriptive import, and even more in
smoothness of sound in pronunciation
'Googoo' is a better word than google
1t looks better in print It sounds bet
ter in conversation and song, and it
seem to fit that peculiar f1irtive manip-
ulation of the eye with more ease and
eXactitude. The tongue and lips can
roll it out more unsteady and it
gurgles in a soft sort of way out OF
the throat of the singer. Women, of
course, make 'goOgOo' eyes in all coun-
tries, old England not excepted, but
when it comes. to the word 'gOOgOO,
it is an American prOvincialism, and
England may not change the spelling
of it at her pleasure. New Orleans

A RHYMELESS RHYME,

The peculiarly about the following
verses is that they rhyme to the eye,
but not to the ear:
When Willie went to play at golf
He met keen and hungry wolf,
AS he sped on tie forest through,
And that, you must admit, was rough.
With him at once he raised a row,
But Willie, with one swinging blow,
CTwas boxing taught him how to
lead),
Laid out the wolf and killed him dead
Said Willie: "Sir, you are de trop."
And not a moment did he stop
Until he saw that on the heath
The brute lay STILL devoid of breath.
For fear that other wolves might
come,
He sought at once his happy hons,
And quit the game Of golf A.. oncn
Remaining idle for the nonce.

COMPEL CITIZENS TO VOTE.
All BeIqians Qualified Must Exercise
the Elective Franchise.


The Belgians have made an i'm
portant discovery. They have found
out how to accomplish something that
no American commonwealth accom-
plishes. They have found out how
to compel citizens to vote. They do
not send the non-VOters to Jail, but the
coercive means employed is so effect
i've that at recent election out of
1,05S,165 eligible voters only 1851
failed to vote without giving previous
notice to the courts as required by
law, and of this number 1921 when
summoned before the magistrates,
we're able to present acceptable eX-
cuses, such as age, illness or unavoid-
able absence The number punished
for not voting at that election was
2,930, or exactly 2.76 out of every
thousand.
How has this wonder been achieved?
In the case of first offenders the state
is far from being harsh. The magis-
trates simply admonish the negligent
citizen that the habit of staying away
from the polls will cause him trouble
if persisted in. He has begun to
make entries on the wrong side Of his
account with the state If he fails
to vote a second time there will be
a penalty. In that event he hands
the magistrate SIS, and if he still con-
tinues to refrain from voting as the
elections recur his political rights
are suspended for ten years. Some
day we shall be as efficient as the Bel
gians are in enforcing the perform
ance of political duty.
If men will not vote why let them
call themselves voters? Why bother

to keep their names on the votinB
lists? Why not let the fact Of theix
refusal to take part in the government
of the country be known of all mem
by reason of the absence of their
names from the suffrage lists?
Before the year 1893 in Belgium it
is said that Is per cent. of the voters
remained away from the polls at every
election in spite of all that the party
workers could do to get them there
But as soon as the law making voting
compulsory was passed the rate OF
abstention fell below 5 per cent

This event recalls one of the most
sensational tragedies in the history of
the country. On April IS, 1895, the
women who went to decorate the EN-
manuel Baptist church in San Fran
cisco for Easter Sunday found in the
little library of the Sunday school the
dead body of Minnie Williams, mem
Der of the church. She had been
stabbed and strangled. On the fol
Moving day, prompted by that discov-
cry, q search was made of the belfry
and there was discovered the body of
Blanche Lamont. AS in the case OF
Miss Williams, death was due to
strangulation, and the slayer had laid
out the body, which was unclothed, as
a doctor or medical student would be
apt to- do. Behind the head, keeping
it in position were two wooden blocks

An OId-FashIoned street Battle Be

An old-fashioned stone battle was
fought at the corner of Fourth and F

crowd OF c0Iored boys and some baseball
players. who had congregated on va
cant lot between F and g Streets. The
fight was started by a sort of spOntane-
GUS outburst agdinst the COlOred boys and
ragged for fifteen minutes without anyone
being seriously hurt. Stones and bricks
Were freely used by the combatants and
the residents in the vicinity were fearful
that their homes would be damaged
The end came quite as suddenly as the
f.shJ had commenced. however, and IN a
Few minutes after quiet had been restor-

battle that had taken place
1t seems that when the scrimmage was
at its height d local pugilist happened to
pass IN the vicinity. and, thinking il an
excellent opportunity TO show his Prov
ess, threw himself into the thick OF the
tray, delivering upper-cuts and Ieft-arm
hooks 50 lndiScrlminately that the coiored
boys became panic-stricken and fed The
most serious injury received during the
progress or the ARRAY was by a colored
boy whose nose came in violent contact
