THE BALLOT EDUCATIONAL
BY Mrs. s. l.. w. Clarke,
Burton. Wash.

Too much is made of the indif-
ference of women to the ballot.
The ballot is itself a great edu-
cational force which all women
need-none more SO than those
who cannot now see their need
of 1t.
The peculiar change in the
views of President Taft on the
question of woman's suffrage does
not reflect credit upon his heart
nor his intellect. To speak con-
temptuously of hottentots and
women aspirants to political priv
|i1eges was to be forgetful of his
duty as a host. That some guests
we're equally forgetful only proves
the decided kinship of both sexes.
We would not excuse the women
who Kissed his uncourteous re-
marks for one rudeness does not
excuse another, no more than two
wrongs can make righteous
deed.
That discourteous woman can
hurt the cause of suffrage is only
,another proof that deep down in
the very heart the world people
believe in the superior morality of
Iwomen-a morality much needed
in our present day government,
for today we are awakening to
the needs of the child and In that
cause, more than any other, we
need the help-yea, the guidance
OF the mother wisdom. For Pres
ident Taft to rebuke the kissing
by speaking of self-restraint nee
essary in government would have
been greatly magnified by exercis-
ing the same restraint himself by
taking no evident notice of 1t.

Letters From
Times Readers
Tacoma, May 8, 1910.

Tacoma, May 8, 1910.
Editor Tacoma Times:
I believe when citizen has an
idea that tends towards the
betterment of the city in general
and is worthy of consideration he
should express it, and try and
have it discussed and adopted.
The idea which / have in mind is
in regard to the dusty streets on
which some of the street cars of
our city run. On the South Ia
coma line, for instance, some of
the streets are in such a deplor-
able condition in this respect that
when one of the cars stops the
on the rear end of the
car are almost suffocated by this
dust which comes into the car
from every point. This nuisance
could be easily remedied by the
company furnishing a sprinkler
car to which the city should only
be too glad to furnish the water,
gratis. The company has plenty
of sidings on each of their lines,
so that these cars would not in
terfere with general traffic. II
we expect to build a city which
visitors can point to with pride
we should look after a matter like
this. The Times certainly de-
serves great credit for the way
they are. looking after the inter-
ests of our city. Let us discuss
this matter and see what can b,
done. C. w. &.

In despair he gazed about for in

She gazed in the direction he in
Dictated, and beheld the Great Dane
and the foz terrier lying just out
side so close that their bodies
touched. The huge black muzzle
and the nervous white one were
pointed toward the summer house,
while two pairs of eyes expressed
a friendly interest more clearly
Than words.
"They seem the best of friends, +"
said Miss Anderson.
When we arrieved." he contin-

the Great Danes neck and her
rosy face was hidden against one
of his shaggy ears.

Tousel Heads papa said, "Son,

But I like such dreams so well,
That each one you must now tell"
And the lad SAID ''raddy, dear,
What I've told may seem so queer,
But you know in Dreamland they
Do things in a different way.
On great lawns the children run,
Having loads end loads of fun!
There they play games strange and queer
Nothing like we play down here
And they never cry nor fight,
Cause they know it isn't right;
There they ride ON big June Bugs,
Down wide streets all paved with rugs;
There the men, with might and main,
Wiring out Clouds TO make 1t rain,
And Silk Worms make fluffy quilts,
While Mosquitoes walk on stills.
AS / stood and watched the fun,
Two big Snails did run;
Then the queen came down the street
Dressed SO very clean and neat,
And from out o crooked lane.
Crowds OF Bugs came with her train
Cricksts. Reaches AND some Gnats,
Wearing big add funny hats;

SKIS RIVAL
BY Paul Peren

When the patrons of his ac-
Quaintance chided Chas. Batter

would point to Ski and reply:
what need of a wife has a fell
low with a companion like that?
Sympathy. loyalty, devotion. tact
I've yet to find the woman, or
man, either. that's his equal"
And then Ski would thump the
floor with his tail to show he com
pretended.
Ski was a Great Dane that tip
ped the scales at figures very near
his masters.
While the friend of all human
kind, Ski seldom got on well with
his own species, for which reason
1t was an understood thing in his
owners circle that other dogs
were best omitted from gather
ings that included Battershau.
Therefore it was with misgivings
approaching CONSERVATION that
Mrs Tremain saw Gertrude Ander-
son descend the steps of the Pull
man with wiggling fox terrier
clasped in her arms.

proachfully, didn't you know that

head in the air. You can't expect
me to leave Trig home out of re-
gard for the eccentricities of man
I've never met. If he will own a.
brute that can't get along with
other dogs he ought to know bet
ter than to bring it to a house
party"
Subsequently testimony agreed
that the Great Dane was minding
his own business, and that the fox
terrier without provocation had
kicked dirt in his face and leered
with that peculiarly insulting man
ner OF which only fox terriers are
capable. Whatever the prelimina-
ries, the results were swift and
terrifying: A squeal from TrigI
brought his mistress from behind
neighboring hedge to find her
pet fast in the huge jaws of the
Great Dane, who, having gone thus
far. seemed rather at a loss about
his next move.
Battershall. running to the
scene of the brief combat, was
still helplessly distant when he
saw the young girl fearlessly
throw herself upon the pair and
seize the terriers hind legs with
one hand while her other little fist
pounded Skis head. Ski had never
been thumped by a lady before,
and although Miss Anderson's
blows scarcely tickled his tough
hide, out of sheer establishment
he released his hold on Trig and
when his master arrived out Of

comical air of relief.
That was the way IT started.
