DIR. Julia Holmes Smith.

DIR. Julia Holmes Smith. one of the
candidates for trustee of the state
university, is of southern parentage
Being reared and educated in the
south her ideals of political princi
pies have always been democratic.
She has resided in Chicago since
1876 and is one of the city's most
widely known and respected public
women. \ successful physician and
student, she has given much time and
attention to those elements that tend
to the culture and elevation of wo-
mankind. She is prominent in club
life, being a member of the Fortnight
ly and Alternate clubs, and has been
three times elected president of the
Chicago Woman's club, and is also
vice president of the Political Equal
ity League and a life member of the
National Suffrage association.
She was appointed a trustee of the
Illinois State University by the late
Governor AltgeId to fill the unexpired
term of Mr.. Bryant. She was the first
woman who has held that position
and she gave much time and thought
to- the work of that institution. filling
the position with credit and honor.
y striking personality and a genial
and cordial manner has made her pop
ular with large circle of friends and
acquaintance. Her home at 40 Dear
born avenue is the center of large
influence for good in that commu-
nifty. The voters of the state will
best conserve their own interests
and the interests of the institution
and its students by returning her to
this responsible position which she
has so ably nIled in the past.

The Coal Strike.

How may the great coal strike be
settled without further famine or
bloodshed? This is the problem
which engages the thought of most
Americans at the present time. The
Recommendation of Senator Mason
that special session of congress be
held at which mining properties shall
be declared public utilities and re-
ceivers be named by the government
to operate them is received with ia
vor and might be successful in cor
recting existing conditions. The Chi
cago Tribune has been gathering
suggestions and opinions from finan-
ciers, educators, philanthropists and
politicians all over the country.
Some of the responses came from
this section. Congressman Ross
Mickey was quoted as follows.
The immediate settlement of the
anthracite coal strike is imperative.
President Roosevelt has exhausted
moral suasion. In my opinion there
is no federal statute that can be in
voked which will avert the coal fam
inc. An extra session of congress
should be called and a law passed
CilhCI duihOiiNihS ihC dPPOihtihC L
of a receiver along the lines suggest
ed by Senator Mason or a compulsory
arbitration law. either of which
would be effective
The coal strike has been a vivid
advance courier of the movement to-
ward the government ownership of
public utilities. The receivership
method of opening the mines would
be a distinct step in this general di-
rection.

Persian Customs.

In Persia, as well as in Turkey and
throughout the orient generally, mod
ern waterworks are unknown, and i'll
every Persian town the women and
girls may be seen at daybreak on their
way to the common wells just as in
old Bible times. They carry their
pitchers on their shoulders and bring
water for the household uses of the
day. The well is the general clearing
house for news. Another common sight
in Persian towns is the tea seller. He
carries n big brass teapot in either
hand, the one full of hot water, the
other of tea. His cups are i'll a tray,
which is fastened to his belt. He cries
in a singsong tone: Hot tea! Sweet
tea! Tea of crimson color"' His tea
is prepared with herbs and has Il deli
clous thymy odor. Wine is carried
about in beefskins, which, pumped out
to their original form by the fluid with
in, present Il startling appearance to
the novice. 1t is one of the impossible
things for the western barbarian to at
tain admission to the Persian royal
harem, but the rage for photographs
has penetrated even that sequestered
spot, and photographers have lately
been admitted for the purpose of pho
tographing the royal infants.-New
York Tribune.

Plants and Gravitation.

The sense of gravitation in plants is
that sense, for example, that makes q
pine tree grow straight upward. A
plant that curves assumes that position
because its sense of gravitation makes
it take the one best suited to its needs.
Some flower stalks are very curiously
guided by the gravitation sense. The
narcissus is an example. At first there
is a straight shaft piercing the ground
with its compact pointed flower bud,
but as the flower opens the stalk bends
close to the top and brings the flower
tube into n roughly horizontal position,
where it shows off its bright cOlored
crown to attract the insects, on the
visits of which it depends for fertiliza-
ton. The flowers are guided to the
right position by the gravitation sense,
and they increase or diminish the an
gular bend in their stalk until the
right position is attained.

Mutitudes are singing the praises

Home Rule for cities in Ohio.

Ohio is usually classed as n pro-
gressive state, but in the rejection of
the measure providing home rule for
cities the Ohio legislature has placed
that commonwealth, in one particu-
lar, in the same category with the
most backward and boss-ridden of
states. The bill in question stood for
principle which is now recognized
to be of paramount Importance to
the Advancement of American munich
palities. 1t proposed to take ques-
tions of purely local import out of
the hands of politicians at the state
capital and place municipal admins
tration on a nonpartisan business ba-
sis. 1t recognized the principle that
in all questions of local concern the
people of the municipality should
have the power to determine how
their city should be administered and
how it's public service utilities should
be controlled.
The only conceivable explanation
for the failure to pass this vitality
important measure is that partisan
and political interests proved too
strong. The bosses at the state cap
ital were unwilling to give up sys-
tenn by which the local bosses could
exploit local government for all that
it was worth.

just One WAY.

There is just one way to keep
''Gumboil" Ed Curtis out of the
speakership in the next legislature
and that way is to elect a democratic
Legislature. Curtis is Yates candi-
date for speaker and he will be elect
ed if the house is republican. Don't
let anybody tell you that Sherman and
his crowd can beat Curtis, or that
Hopkins, Lorimer and the rest of
Yates partners will stop Curtis.
Yates controlled the whole state con-
vention and control of the same coun-
ties which gave him that control of
a majority of the republicans in the
legislature. Lorimer, Hopkins & Co.,
will not oppose Curtis either. As
speaker in 1897, he helped them pass
the Allen bill, the gas bill and every
thing else that they wanted. He
suits them. The only way to keep
"Gumboil'' out of the speakership is
to elect a democratic majority in the
Legislature.

as he entered the navy in 1918, and

HOW THE INDIANS VOTE.
They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have simple Method.

They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have n Simple Method.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man does it. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chickasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right of suffrage.
They go off TO themselves and have a
powwow. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty-four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is a great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet of paper are
a vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off with 4 pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet of paper are
placed the names of all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. At the top of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names of
the voters. The judges of election sit
by and pass OH those entitled to vote,
and there is n certainty that 10 illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names of the can
didates for governor. The voter delib-
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote is recorded, and the
names of the candidates for the next
office are called out, and so on through
the list, till all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
his ballot. and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no quarrels over
differences of opinion.
