One Wnman Win Wing

IL appears that Mrs Ella Flagg
Young of Chicago has 1T on" her sis
ters and brothers, too, for that mat
ter, in having discovered the coveted
key to success against men even in the
field of school politics. Mrs. Young
was able to capture the Office of super
intendent of schools In Chicago, where
many men we're available and anxious
to get the place, but her triumph has
not ended there. She goes to the con-
vention of the National Educational
association at Boston and defeats a
man for president Of that organiza-
ton.
Today we hail Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young as the leader of her sex in the
United States, woman who, in spite
of the denial of the suffrage, is yet
able to circumvent the political
Vaccinations of the men and beat
them at their own game. Nor must
It be said that her success came as a
trophy to her sex from a chivalric op-
position; rather as a tribute to supe-
rior skill at the little game of politics.
Those mere men at Boston had forti-
fed their candidate with what they
conceived to be every assurance of vic
tory; they had laid the wires through
which It seemed utterly impossible for
the poor, weak woman opponent to
break
But, pshawl 1t was easy for Mrs.
Young. She Just put her thinking cap
on, summoned a sister or two to her
side, gave few orders and the next
thing the convention knew the presid-
ing officer was proclaiming the cleo
ton of Mrs. Young.
A striking object lesson to the rest
Of those good crusaders who have been
pursuing this phantom OF woman
rights so long in vain! More striking
in it's impressive force because
wrought in Boston, the hub and home
of assert1ve womankind, the source of
so many of the uplift institutions de-
signed for woman's political uplift!
Surely such successful strategy, such
generalship and such a victory should
place Mrs. Ella Flagg Young at the
head of her class, we'll in advance OF
other women for years trying to learn
the game.

TOWN OF NOTHING-To-Do.

Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press.
They say somewhere, In the distance fair,
Is the town Of Nothing-to-Do,
Where the sun, they say, shines every day
And the skies are always blue;
Where no one tries for silver prize
And no one strives for gold
There every race, has taken place,
And every tale been told.
The blacksmith sings, as his anvil rings
OF the town of Nothing-to-Do,
And vows in his song, though the road II
long,
He will wander far, where the glad folk
And win rest in that happy town.
He dreams of the day when he'll put TO

His hammer and apron down
O it matters not, what the toller's lot,
Be he preacher or soldier brave,
Though he delve ditch, be he great OF
rich;
He dreams always OF the future days
When he'll come to Nothing-to-Do;
will rest
And his time to toll is through.
But Nothing-to-Do, folks tell me who
Have journeyed the hills and found IT,
Is a hollow fake, and big mistake,
For the streams Of care surround II.
And the people there, they all declare,
Are gloomy and sad and signing.
And they yearn for strife, for the Joy OF

Nothing could be so futile as to agi-
tate To- an immediate general revision OF

session Of the facts for the proper re-
vision; the business of the country ought
not to be subjected to the disturbance of
a premature tariff agitation; neither of

made the present law could prevent the

of time the public will revise its own
tariff on the basis of scientific study
and diffused Information.
II these remarks reflect the views
of both Mr.. Roosevelt and Senator Bev-
eridge, as they doubtless do, the en-
listment of the ex-president in the
campaign for the Indiana senator will
have no unfavorable bearing on the
position of republicans generally who
stand by the present tariff as the best
that could be had under the circum-
stances. and hope ultimately to get
something still better through the
tariff board.

Prayer and Pugilism.

Just how far prayer figured in the
struggle between the races at Reno
probably will never be known, since
it's efficacy was tested on both sides.
So far as is known neither Jeffries nor
Johnson personally invoked divine aid,
but many of Johnson's people over the
country and Jeffries' father, who is a
minister, did resort to prayer. On
concluding his prayer the elder JEFF
fries, we are told. calmly observed,
my son is In the hands of the Lord"
But when the battle broke, ragged
and the smoke cleared away the dusky
giant had won. At his feet lay his
vanquished foe, bruised and battered
gladiator. But the result leaves one
In doubt as to whose prayer won when
it is remembered that For whom the
Lord loveth He chasteneth and
scourgest every son He receiveth."
Certainly Jeffries was chastened and
scourged.
But this is not the first time prayer
and pugilism have come into contact.
The records say that two Christian
nations, feeling their fate hung In the
balance, offered up prayers on the oc-
casion of the great Heenan-Sayers
fight fifty years ago, and when Jeffrief
and Fitzsimmons met for the first time
the Rev. Mr.. Jeffries said, after the
crown had passed to the brow Of his
sturdy son, THE Lord was In the
ring" True, Fitz could not appreci'

Making Bucketshops Wireless.

By ordering the wires into bucket
shops cut and the service discontinued
the big telegraph companies are sound
ing the death knell to this form Of
gambling. Subtract the telegraph
service from this business and it suf-
fers a serious. if not fatal, blow and II
1t is, the illegitimate traffic it has
been regarded by law then this move
on the part of the telegraph manage
ment has everything to commend it.
Bucketshops have long been under
the ban because they have conducted
form of speculative trade that does
not come within the limits of legiti-
mate commerce and they cannot hope
to survive the opposition to them
much longer. This action of the tele-
graph company should be the begin
ming of the end. If SO, men engaged
in stock market trade on legitimate
basis ought to be the first to welcome
the order. Lawful business has moth

that the action barring the wires grew
out of orders from the Department OF

Rsveridge and the Tariff.

Because OF the announcement that
Colonel Roosevelt will lend active as
sistance to Senator Beveridge in his
campaign for reelection by making al
least one speech in his behalf in In

Des Moines Capital (stand pat.
The county conventions of the republl-

called progressIves will have majority.
But President Taft will be given strong
and sweeping endorsement by the state
convention. Not a single county conven-
ton passed u mean resolution in regard
to Taft. Not a single county convention,
SO far as we have observed, passed any
thing mean in regard to the new tariff.
Everything seems to have been lovely
throughout the state. Even at Webster
City, formerly the home of violent insurg-
oncy, the resolutions were Enthusiastically

dorse Taft for the reason that he is max

claim anything in advance, and he is not
a good advertiser. However. the country
is going his way, and 1t is evident that he
will be the nominee of his party for presi-

We regret to notice that Senator Dolliver
gave evidence OF bad temper In his speech
at Fort Dodge. The senator hates Aldrich
on personal grounds. and he is in poor
health, hence We suppose ne must be ex-
cused.
