The Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl sits still in
her chair and listens to voices
from everywhere; she hears all
the gossip. she hears all the news.
she knows who is happy and who
has the blues; she knows our sor-
rows, she knows our Joys. she
knows every girl that is chasing
the boys; she knows of our
troubles. she knows OF our strife.
she knows every rubberer on the
lines. she knows every man that
talks mean TO his wife; she knows
every time we're out with "the
boys" she hears all the excuses
each fellow employs; she knows
every woman who has a dark past.
she knows every man who's in

secret meath each saucy curl of
that quiet. demure looking tele-
phone girl. 1t the telephone girl
would tell all that she knows it

bitterest foes: she would sow
small wind that would soon be
gale, engulf us in trouble and
land us in jail; she could let 90
story (Which gaining in forcel
would cause half our wives to sue
tor divorce; she could get all the
churches mixed up in a fight and
turn all our days into sorrowing

whole town in stew if she'd tell
a tenth part of the things that she
knew. Oh. brother, now doesn't

Look Out, A Comet is Coming!

Halley's comet, the most sem
sational brilliant of the sky tru-
ants known to astronomers, has
looped the loop on its whirl
through 1.0OO.0O0.0O0 miles of
space and is heading this way on
the visit which it makes to these
parts every seventy-hve years.

But 1t was not always so. In

No other comet has had the in-
fiuence on the human race which
this one has had through the
dread inspired by its brilliancy
and sensational size. To it. for
instance. is due the current prac-
tice in the Roman Catholic
churches of ringing the church
bells at noon. That was initiated
by special edict of Pope Calixus
in 1856. who. it may be recalled,
added to the Ave Marias of that
year the famous prayer, Deliver

WOMEN HAVE RIGHT TO VOTE.

A Portland. Me, dispatch to
the Boston Herald says: Prof
A. w. Anthony, of Bates college,
in an address before the Maine
woman's suffrage association. has
told the women that they are
citizens. that they are being de-
nied the ballot contrary to the
provisions of the constitution of
the United States.
He said that the constitution OF
the United States declared that
"All persons born or naturalized
in the Uuited States. and subject
TO the jurisdiction thereof. are
citizens of the United States. and,
OF the states wherein they reside"
Citizenship, then" said Pro-
fessor Anthony. according to
the highest authority in the eoun-
try. is unaffected by age. sex.
color. race or condition. To deny
the ballot to one class of citizens
while granting it to another is
not sanctioned or defended by
the constitution. The oonstitp-
ton further declares NO state
shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges
or immuuities of the citizens OF
the United States By the con
stitution. thereof. all citizens are
entitled to unrestricted immun-
Itics.
But the constitution is even
more explicit. In the fifteenth
amendment II distinctly declares
The right of citizens of the
United States TO vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account
of race. color or previous condi-
tions OF servitude.
This is legitimate basis by
which women may demand the
right of suffrage. IL is constitu-
tional. Or to put it otherwise. it
would appear unconstitutional to
limit the right of suffrage TO
male citizens only. The steps
appear plain and logic convincing.
According to the United States
constitution. birth and naturali-
zation. together with allegiance
to the jurisdiction of the country.
make citizens; citizens are en-
titled to equal privileges and inn
munities which may not be de-
nicd or abridged, and the right to
vote is explicitly defined as one
of the rights which may not be
denied or abridged because of
personal popularity due to pres
ent or past conditions.
81 venture, therefore, to think
that women already have rights
which they might properly claim
and exercise, and that those states
like our own, which restrict the
franchise and debar portion of
their citizens from exercising
constitutional rights, are acting
outside of the fundamental law of
our land and are infringing the
liberties and the responsibilities
