PETER POWER SAYS:

The ANNOUNCEMENT that 4 great
conference between the farmers UNI
ions and other Organizations will be
held In st. Louis next month for the
purpose Of considering political action
to gain legislative reforms lis causing
d1gnified and: staid old senators and
representatives at Washington to fair
1y fall over each other in their villa
scramble to get word to the farmers
union officials that the legislation
demanded will be put through con-
gress. 49, " - -
The farmers demand the following
laws: TO abolish gambling in farm
products, the establishment Of q par
cells post; establishment Of postal saw
inss banks, more stringent restriction
of foreign immigration defeat Of the
proposed central bank, and more lib
eral national appropriations for agri-
cultural projects.
Pres. Barrett, of the farmers, has
received hundreds Of letters from the
statesmen saying in effect: 1--WE are
with you,"' but the shrewd t1llers Of
the soil are taking no chances. They
not only recall the populistic move
ment of a few years ago was be-
trayed and killed but they know also
that while Cannonism has received
a knockout blow Aldrich is still boss
of the senate and that the interests"
are sufficiently strong to block re-
form legislation. - 49,,
Hence the st. Louis conference in
May 10 unite, If possible, the 5000
600 organized farmers and the 3,000,-
600 trade and labor unions in what
may prove to be the greatest alliance
Of working people ever perfected in
this or any other country.
The st. Louis meeting will quite
likely broaden the farmers program
to include demands amending the
Sherman antitrust law to exempt
agricultural and Industrial unions
from being: classified as trusts, and
being subjected to damage suits; to-
restrict the writ of injunction to con-
troverstes between capital and labor;
to extend the eight-iaour law to all
governments contract work; to regu-
late prison contract labor, limit
woman and child labor, etc. e ~
It ii likely ARRANGEMENTS will BE
made that in the event congress fails
to grant the above reforms an iride-

TAFT BIGGEST GANDER
AT WOMEN'S HISS FEST

Although not a nice thing, II
may be, to have Kissed President
Taft's speech Of welcome at the
Women's National Suffrage con-
vention in Washington, it was he
who offended first. AS the off,
cial head of the city where it met,
ne was at the convention to ex-
tend the city's welcome.
If he did not agree with It's
object, he could have remained
away; or, having gone, he might
have explained his position suff-
GENTLY to prevent a misinterpre-
tation Of his presence as an en-
dorsement. But by misusing his
address Of welcome to make a
partisan speech flatly in oppo-
sition to the object Of the con-
vention, he was guilty Of blum
der in taste which from a man of
keener perceptions might have
seemed very like a studied insult.
The convention, by apologizing
for the spontaneous Kissing which
Mr.. Taft had provoked and which
it could not prevent, has shown
in extraordinary high degree the
very self-restraint witch he i'm
piled that suffrage seeking women
do not possess.
Mr.. Taft's principal argument
against women's suffrage was az
offensive a fling at the working
women Of the United States as
the improperly of the occasion
he chose for it was to those who
impulsively Missed. Unless he
alluded to workingwomen, his
argument was twaddle, for there
are no other large enough classes
Of women to whom the unfavor-
able distinction he made could
apply.
AS to his plea for evidence Of
capability for the suffrage before
it is granted, it was too trifling to
call for any other response than
that no intelligence at all is nee
essary to qualify for voting up to
the Taft standard. His attack
upon the insurgent Republicans
for not standing pat with their
party shows that by his stand
ards the most idiotic voter "votes
intelligently'' if he votes with Mr..
Taft's faction.
BY the way! During the presi-
Dental campaign, ditth It Mr.. Taft
pose as women's suffrapist4
And wasn't Mr.. Bryan put, by
euileless women suffragists, upon
d lower political plane than Mr..
Taft because he refused to ex-
press himself ON the subject in d
national campaign in which it was
not a national issue? -.
From that episode Of the cam.
palgn, and this later one Of the
suffrage convention, some folks
might be wicked enough to draw
conclusions in candor contest
not altogether favorable to Mr..
Taft.

Lyceum Theatre
"The Newlyweds and Their Baby"

The 60-1s people music show that
comes to the Lyceum theatre, Toledo,
for the entire week starting with next
Sundays matinee, and including the
usual popular price matinees Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday, is a
fountain Of bubbling fun.
What lovely thing is the comedy
of childhood. Could anything quite
touch the tender emotions quicker
than the sight of Baby Napoleon
Newlywed crawling backwards slowly
into view, his dress over his head,
his lingerie whimsically revealed.
Applause ripples from parquet to
gallery before anybody catches a
view of the baby face.
Rosen is cherry-faced little fell
low, a wonderfully talented lillipu-
tian, who can gurgle and cry with
the comedy JUNCTION of babyhood it.
self. The audience applaud again at
the sight of his pretty features.
Rosen is so good they want to kiss
him.
Throughout much of the first act
the infants hero is the center of a
party in honor of his seventeenth
month-he is such wonderful child
that party once year wouldn't be-
gin to do him justice.
After everybody laughs until they
nearly cry over the antics of Napole-
on and the fond foolishness of his
father and mother, the plot enters.
August Nichol, manager Of a fake
baby incubator show, comes to the
Newlywed house to induce Napole-
on's parents to lend the child to him
for short time. Nichol finally abb
ducts Napoleon. His parents refuse
to be consoled. Their frantic actions
cause comedy of substitutions.
Major Knott Much, a modern Tom
Thumb, is induced to impersonate
Napoleon for time to pacify the in
fant's distracted parents. Rosen re-
appears as the latter-day Tom Thumb.
He proceeds to make up for the baby.
The substitute Napoleon proceeds to
burlesque the dear child. The mo-
ment members of the family turn
their backs, make-believe baby Napo-
leon puffs cigar, puts his feet on a
table and observes, at looks like a
big night tonight" The effect is ir-
resistibly droll. Very soon, however,
the deception is discovered and the
final act sees the whole Newlywed
family flying toward Moonlight Park,
where the incubator is located, to re-
cover the real Napoleon.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER rs, 1910.

An English suffragette, who is said
to be very learned and brilliant
talker, declares that her sex has caus-
ed the craze for gold; that all the
money is made for woman and is
spent for woman Well, suppose
this lady's theory is correct. What
Of it? If there were no women what
use would man have for money?
And if he enjoys seeking and spend
ing gold for woman, why not let him
enjoy the game? Kipling says:
"a fool there was and he made his
prayer,
Gwen as you and y
To rag and a bone and hank of hair,
eve called her the woman who did
not care).
But the fool he called her his lady
fair, p
Gwen as you and I.)

that the two leaders plucked the red

badges Of the rival houses of Lancas-

centuries famous for their roses.

FOOT BALL NEWS
Sunday Game With the Camels Ends
in Flasco.

The Perrysburg foot ball team was
scheduled to play a game Sunday
with an aggregation from Toledo,
travelling under the name of Camp
bells, which was misnomer, for
judging from the appearance of a
large number of the team, it was
hard for them to go any length of
time without drink Ito say nothing
of seven days., as several of them
were apparently under the influence
of liquor when they arrived on the
car. 1t was hard to tell what their
nationality was and we doubt if they
could understand each other, let
alone anyone else attempting to
translate their chickering's. What
they didn't know about foot ball
would make great big book, but
they made up in beef" for what they
lacked in brain and science of the
game. They started to wrangle be-
fore the game even started and al
though they had their own referee,
they kept it up and when they
couldn't start chewing match with
Perrysburg they would quarrel among
themselves, until they finally left the
grounds before the first quarter was
completed.
Such proceedings are disgraceful
ln fn ht1f hn hl1t
we believe people who understand
the conditions last Sunday will real
ize that the home team were not the
aggressors, their only mistake being
in getting such team of "Honyocks"
here to play as we have since been
informed that they have failed to
finish game which they have start
ed this fall, but the management did
not know of this when they booked
the game.
Thanksgiving day Perrysburg will
line up against the Fultons, who are
contenders for the city championship
in Toledo in what they expect to be
the hardest contested game of the
season. The Fultons and Perrysburg
have played three games, of which
the home team has won two and the
Fultons one. Every game has been
close and every one has been won on
some fiuke play and it is hoped that
this time the game can be won on its
merits and decide which is the better
team when the luck breaks even. The
Fulton team are a nice bunch OF
players, and patrons who attend the
game can be assured that there will
be no contention during the game.
The home boys are to quite an ex-
pense to procure this team, who will
be accompanied by large band OF
rooters and you should get out and
patronize them and help cheer them
to victory. The team will give a
dance in the evening and have made
arrangements for car to leave Per-
rysburg for Toledo at IL O'Clock, so
as to give the Fulton crowd chance
to attend.
There will also be a game sunday,
but with what team has not been
arranged.
The Juniors will also play Sunday
having scheduled a game with the
Navy Colts of Toledo, who claim the
115-pound championship of North
western Ohio.

THE LIONS HEAD.
Origin of lts Use as a Decoration For
Eountaina.


Fountains.
'The sun glows In the Lion" says
Seneca, meaning that when the sun
enters the sign of Leo at the summer
solstice the highest temperature of the
year is experienced. We may say, on
astrologers thousands of years ago
placed the king Of beasts, the fiery and
ferocious lion, In that part of the 20
diac which the sun enters at the sum-
mer solstice
The constellation which is called Leo
bears very little resemblance to the
outline of II lion. Probably the name
was originally applied only to it's prin-
cipai star, ReGulus. 1t is to this con-
stellation In the zodiac that we owe
the countless water spewing lions
heads which are found in ancient and
modern fountains. because In the latter
part Of July, while the sun is still In
the sign of Leo. the Nile is at its high
est level.
Furthermore, the lions head with
widely open Jaws is in itself very suit
able for the mouth Of fountain or
waterspout. This decorative motif was
employed universally throughout the
Greco o-Roman world. Lions heads are
found used In this way at Athens, Ephe-
sus, Olympia. Agrigentum and count
less other places. 1t is not quite cer-
tain that this employment Of the lions
head originated in Egypt. Curtius de-
scribes an Assyrian bas-relief from
Bairan showing water streaming from
ring shaped vessel. lion stands as
If on guard on either side of the foun-
tain.
The water clock, which was used in
judicial proceedings. had the form Of a
lion and q name which means the
guardian of the stream. Hence the
idea of protection may have been the
origin of the association Of lions with
fountains, and this custom may have
originated in Asia.-Scientific Ameri-
