CircunlIOcution.

Woman's "chief moral blemish." ac-
cording to Professor Zueblen. is cir
cumIocution" We are indebted to the
professor for so lucid an explanation.
We had never been able to understand
before just what was the matter. The
syn onyms of circumlocution are vari-
Gus; for instance. diffuseness, peri
phrasis, pleonism, prolixity, tautology,
all of which mean indirect and round
about expression or the use of many
words where few would suffice.
So the women have high sociological
authority for knowing just what they
are. OF course. we can not adopt this
heartless analysis, but our opinion is
neither here nor there on so important
a matter. 1t is the professor that
speaks, and If there Is any controversy
it is with him and not with us. But
the professors use of this untoward
fact is what makes the observation
significant. He says the cure of this
blemish, as he call it. is woman suf-
frage; that is. if she wants to escape
the sad ordeal of beating around the
bush she should go into politics.

to be divided by precincts into three
districts.
Secretary Denton will carry out the
letter OF the law to the best of his
ability and does not anticipate any in
surmountable obstacle, but he is of the
opinion that it would have been better
to have amended the primary law n
such fashion that this division of dis
tricts could have been made by each
county for that county, making the di
vision by precincts. This plan would
have saved a lot of additional work,
been more accurate and more practical.

of Labette county, has the following
about the progress of the Wagstaf
candidacy for governor:
Tom Wagstaff of Independence,
who says that he is going to beat Wal

nomination for governor, was in the

Wagstan was returning from Topeka,
