A story is told of the recent march
of suffragists in New York that may
or may not be true, but it is signiti
cant in either case. A woman who
was to march in the parade found on
the day of that great event that her
maid had to go home and there was
no one with whom to leave the baby
Now, she might have suggested to
John that he mind the baby, while
she marched, but she did not. On the
contrary, she told him that she was
going to mind the baby herself, and
that, consequently, he would simply
have to take her place in the parade
And the story goes that John did the
marching.
Mrs. Ella Flagg, superintendent OF
the schools of Chicago, is planning a
course in sewing that will be really
worth while. A house is to be fitted
| up at a cost of $4,000, and the girls
will learn to be homemakers, textile
workers, expert dressmakers, millin-
ers, lace crocheters and so on and
will learn, besides, singing, literature,
chemistry and other branches. The
| school will be called the School of
Mechanic Arts, and will give degree
like other schools.

Miss Ida Tarbell thinks that the
women of wealth should teach thrift

learning arithmetic from the elements

McCTsary Opens Campaign.

The opening OF the Democratic
campaign by Senator McCreary and
Others Of the candidates ON the
ticket with him resulted in the
biggest political gathering ever
held in Bowling Green. and while
the party in Warren county and
Bowling Green is perhaps more thor.
oughly divided than any other coun-
ty or city In the State because OF
the prohibition question, It Is
believed by the leaders of the par
" here that the ticket will get
the biggest majority given State
ticket in years. Both factions turn
ed out en- masse TO honor senator
McCreary and his associates on the
ticket and not a man could be found
who would say that he was OPP
posed to any part of the ticket
from top to bottom.

Green Monday afternoon in behalf
OF himself and associates nominated

Senator McCreary took Judge o.
Rear to task for his tactics in the
late Republican convention. in
which he said he played the part Of
the dictator in selecting the chair
man OF the convention, the candi-
dates to run on the ticket with him,
and also OF framing the platform on
which he was to make the race with
out permitting the delegates TO
have a voice In the matter.
These methods Senator McCreary
denounced as boss rule and said
that while Judge o'Rear was now
attempting to make the voters OF
the State believe that he was op-
posed to machine methods in poll
ticss, h had failed in the cofiysi-
tion to permit anyone but himself to
say who or what should prevail in
that convention except wherein o.
Rear was to be the beneficiary.
The crowd in attendance was an
enormous one. and 1t is doubtful
