WON'T PAY TO worry Apovr IT

Tom McNeal. in the Mail and Breeze
makes some observations on the Kan
sas legislature, which apply about as
well to the Oklahoma law-making body
He says:
"A number OF people are beginning
to knock on the Legislature because
only few laws have been run through
the hopper and the session is more
than half ended It looks as II the
legislature might end without any laws
Of much importance getting past the
governor and onto the statute book.
"well. don't lose any sleep worrying
on that account There are several
things that we would like TO see en-
acted into law, but II none OF them are
we don't propose to sit up nights wor-
rying on account Of the failure Of the
legislature to do the things we think
ought to be done Suppose that not
single bill was passed barring the alb
solutely necessary appropriation bills
to keep the state institutions running,
don't you really think that people would
be just about as happy as they win
be no matter what laws are placed on
the statute book?
IF the statute book could be
trimmed down to few simple statutes
embodying the Golden Rule. in other
words providing for a square deal for
a square deal for every citizen, and
the laws made so short and plain that
any Man with a moderate degree Of
sense could understand them and then
left that way It might be a good deal
better than II is now. The fact is that
we are much OF the time engaged in
tinkenng with our laws, adding to
them and changing the language and
meaning of the ones that have already
passed that the average man can
hardly be expected to know what the
law is or what he is required to do. !
In fact, he doesn't know. and yet he is
required to obey
so we are not worrying a great deal /
about what the legislature will do. If
they don't get anything worth mention
ing done We viii go on and try to be
reasonably happy, feeling certain that
there is an element Of chance in any
law that may be passed. There is as
much likelihood that a new bill viii F
be unsatisfactory as that It will prove I
popular.

ent legislators They are, generally /
speaking, an Industrious lot. They I

less days than any set of legislators
he have ever seen. They are consid-
erably given to talk and spend a good |
deal of time in earnest If ineffective

trying to do the best they can. There

and the prices fair next year it will

AID BILLS TO
CITY

Councilmen were puzzled last
week when a communication came
in from a local morning paper
which formerly had the city print
ing at 40 cents an inch, in which
it inclosed a bill for some $3.50
which it claimed had never been
paid on it's account. Some of the
charges made run back for sew
eral years.
The council did not understand
why any such situation of unpaid
bills should exist, and referred the
matter to the finance committee.
Chairman Rankin has been dig
ging into the old records of the
city hall, and said this morning
that he was not ready to make a
report yet 1t is known, however,
that about 500 of the amount
claimed has already been paid by
the city. and the investigation has
not yet been completed.

with her brother Orville.
won't voting make woman

"Most asuredly it will. "And,"
she added, 81 don't even approve
of myself talking for publication

vented an aeroplane costume for

81 haven't. I don't approve of
women aviators. I've ridden only
once with my brothers, and 1t di-
rected so much attention to me
that it was far from pleasant"
what difference is there be-
tween a woman who drives an au-
tomobile and woman who drives
an aeroplane?"
'"There isn't any difference, I
think" she said, smiling sweetly.
Don't you think it is all right
for woman to handle an automo-
bile?"
mo, don't. I'll admit I'm old
fashioned about it, but it makes a
woman so conspicuous"
you've been in Europe twice.
OF course you've heard about the
suffragettes and what they are do
ing over there?" l suggested to
the quiet little Ohio schoolma am.
YES" she said, simply. There
was no approval in her tone.
What do you think of them?"
Most assuredly, l don't ap-
prove of them"
Don't you believe in women
voting?"
"No, l don't. / think a woman
ought to keep to her home life and
out of the public gaze as much as
possible. I've been so much in
sympathy with my brothers that

"Will women ever become avi-
ators?"
II think it is simply absurd for
them to attempt to fly" she con-
cluded.

the city council can regulate the

whether or not the company is at

sonable service to which they are
entitled.
The company will probably ad-
nit the facts in the allegation,
which declares the defendant as
superintendent of teh company re-
fused to abide by the city ordi-
nance requiring the running of
five-minute cars on the South Ia
coma line from to 1880 in the
mornings.
The company will probably file
a demurrer to the complaint on
the ground of lack of authority
of the council to enforce any such
rider and this will give an issue
on which the court can pass. 1t

Miss Anna Murphy, Candidate 70
Superintendent of Streets in
Chicago, Tells How the White
Wings - Difference Between
Mans Cleaning Up and
Woman's.
Especial Correspondence.)

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 1O.-If a
woman makes the best housekeep-
err at home, why wouldn't a wom-
an make the best housekeeper in
cleaning up one of the greatest
cities in the world?
Thus argues Miss Anna E.
Murphy, former magazine writer.
To back her argument up, she has
come out as a candidate for su-
perintendent of streets. The
place pays $500 year.
There's a reason for Miss Muir
phys determination. She's an ar
dent suffragette and believes
women will win votes sooner if
they show the men they are able
to fill mems jobs.
Queen of the white WINGS"
How does it sound?
Miss Murphy is out to win that
title. She says she will make the
forces under her know they have
a REAL boss if the people here
only will let her get on the job.
Chicago's street cleaners are
motley lot. They are old men
and young men; Greeks, Italians,
Turks and a few-a very few
native Americans. When a small
politician wants a city job for one
of his relatives and he hasn't
much Influence, it's to the white
wings brigade with his friend, or
nothing at ALL
The pay is poor, the work hard.
At all times the street-cleaner is
in danger from street cars, autos
whizzing about and reckless driv-
ers.
They don't care much for the
life of a street-cleaner in Chi
cago.
Miss Murphy believes in action.
Not since the days of the elder
Carter H. Harrison has an official
ridden about town on horseback
to view the progress of city work.
But Miss Murphy has ideas of
her own. She Is an ardent horse
woman and will inspect the streets
every day. If the white wings"
aren't doing their work as they
they would better beware
of a suffragette commander.
why shouldn't l be boss
street cleaner"
Miss Murphy whirled around in
her chair in the water pipe extern
sion department in city hall as she
the question. She had
been adding up a column of fig
ures as long as her arm.
81 have new ideas on how to
be municipal house keeper. AS
I have not yet attained the office
1 don't think l ought to tell them
now, do you? If l did everybody
would know as much as 1 do.
ITO be perfectly frank as to my
opinion on woman holding such
an office, 1 will say that it is de-
a woman's job. Cleanli-
ness is feminine instinct.
] Now take it in a house: a man
would get up and look the house
over every morning and not know
whether it had been swept or not
until it became so dirty he would
notice 1t. He might see dirty
place here or dirty place there,
put he would pass the whole thing
along until 1t became noticeably
dirty.
/ mot so with a woman. She sees
avery dirty corner. Every dusty
edge is marked and it has to get
