AQNQVQRQAQHQUN4u
BY WIS NIXON,
New Leader of Tammany Hail.

Y EVERY relation Of life, private and pub
lie, believe thoroughly in the doctrine OF
personal responsibility.
It is a good doctrine and yields splendid
results all around.
Let a man be willing to stand for his ac-
tons, either as a private citizen or a public
official, and be able to say: Il ordered that, !"
or 4 am responsible for this and the tone of
citizenship will be elevated.
Nothing inspires public confidence more
fully in a man than the knowledge that he
accepts responsibility-THAT HE STANDS
FOR HIMSELF AND NO ONE Else
for his principles, his conscience and his con
ception of what is the right plan Of action
for the matter in hand.
THE MAN WHO STANDS FOR
HIMSELF WILL ALWAYS BE RE
SPECTED.
Tools are not popular citizens-for a tool

Then, too, all womanhood is not angelic. The multitude Of ig-

Ghey forget what an army OF beer-drnking women would swarm out

Here, too, is an argument that can only be limited at. 1t is that
TIC Creator has put an interdict on the participation OF a large num-
Ter of our sister sex in public affairs through certain physical disabi-
titles which belong to wfehood and maternity.
WOMAN MUST DO HER WORK FOR HER COUNTRY AS
WOMAN AND 0 AS A COUNTERFEIT MAN. We do not

iseuliW Laundry Aark.
In the laundry world, except when
it comes 10 paying weekly bills, men
.ie known y5 lumbe.s. A New
Yorker remarked the other day that
le telt as he mag mes a life convict
a. sing Sing, who 5 known only by a
aumber, must feel, Tor The folks who
sleansed his linen had called him
5,9O5' without an inteImission dur
ng nineyears.
He became 1905 in 1892, when
some collar-eounting clerk scrubbed
that figure next to The printed brand
Of MS neckwear. He moved down
town, and the number moved with
him. No matter where he went or
how many times he changed his laun-
dryman, ne was always $685.
Hardly a year had elapsed before he
forgot his own name every time he
saw a laundryman. If he went to IN
quire about lost cuffs, he would say:
~You're short on ., 905.,"
He took a trip 10 Europe. TO be
away from home a longtime.
"Free at last" he said to himself.
A London laundryman, summoned
to his lodgings, bundled up a lot of
soiled linen, in which there were
some that the traveller had just
bought. When the end Of the week
came the new clothes as well as the
old bore the mark $685.
To Paris Travelled No. 5,9O5.

To be doubly sure he decided to
wear nothing but new clothes while
in the French capital. He had come
to look on his travel / asi ntended sole
ly for the purpose Of getting rid Of
the pursuing number. The Paris
laundryman came. He could not
speak a word Of English.

traveller.
Non, monsieur, the Frenehman
replied politely, not having he slight
est idea what the question meant
The traveller was oreri0yed. Il
might as vel let him take away some
of these old things / have left over

won't know what 5,sO5 means. 50 he
can't use it." Then he added towhat
he first intended 70 give the laundry
man, a few pieces bearing the .fated
symbol. When the @weshr came
back, the new clothes were labele1
like the old.
In Baden-Baden it was the zns
thing over again. Th enumberwould
not lose itself. 1t was so in Berlin. in
Vienna, in Rome. Then "5,905 re-
turned to America. Since his return
he has lived here and in Brooklyn
and in st. Louis. Never, be says, has
a piece Of clothing come back to him
from a laundry but that it had his
other name on it. To this day he is
$685."
"AndI guess I'll be 1905 till die"

chance. He may run away, and he
can live through his term, if hes got
a good constitution. But death is
my only escape from 5,9O5."-N. Y.

} NOT believe in woman suffrage.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1902-02-15

Never be afraid that your employer is getting more than he is
faying for. If you are he is likely to imagine that he is paying you
sore than you are worth to him. The man who quits at the tick Of
6he clock seldom gets a raise.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1902-02-15

. NOT believe in woman suffrage.
Here are my reasons.
The Creator made man and woman to
govern, but in totally different spheres and
methods. Woman has her equally important
empire in which she is to rule-by persua-
sions, by captivities OF love and by force Of
character. SHE HAS QUITE ENOUGH
NOW ON HER HANDS IN EDUCAT-
ING HERSELF AND THE YOUNG IN
MORTALS COMMITTED TO HER
CARE, in governing home and household
and in exercising that gentle but mighty in
Auence without which man would soon de-
generate into domestic and social barbarism.
1t is claimed that woman needs the bal
lot for seli-protection, But every intelligent
person knows how readily, Of late years, leg
islation has been granting the matter Of prop
erty and her marital rights.
1t is quite plausible to say that as woman
does much to purify literature and society she
might do much to purify unclean politics.
