DO YOU THINK THIS
BOY WAS IN ERROR?

A loyal school board of a Canadian
town ordered the British flag hung
on the wall of every school room. An
equally loyal teacher called the: at
tention Of her pupils to the flag and
asked If they could tell why it was
there. There was no answer for a
while when finally q bright youngster
al the head of his class, held up his
hand, saying, "Please, teacher, I
know VERY well. tell u.s." answered
the teacher. Its, to hide the dirt
was the reply. j. "
This was surely 9 case of wisdom
from the mouth Of babes The young
ster's sage remark could be properly
applied to uses made by sham patriots

LET THE WOMEN SETTLE IT
Senator PerIey Introduces Measure
Relating to the Question of
Suffrage.

Let the women settle it, is the SEN
timent of a bill by Senator Perley in
which he wants an expression of wo-
men on the question of suffrage.
His bill provides that whenever an
amendment to the constitution in re-
gard to equal suffrage is submitted by
the legislature it then becomes the
duty of the county auditors at the
next primary election to supply spe-
cial booth and ballot box at the reg
ular polling places with women super
visors and the women themselves
shall say by their votes what they
want, such vote being guide to the
voters at the fall election as to the
desire of the women of the state on
the subject. Perley thinks this will
remove one of the elements of conten-
ton on that subject and leave no
doubt as to how the women them
selves feel on the subject.
Hursh of Lawrence, after denying
any intention of minority report on
the Nebraska daylight saloon act,

TO CHANGE CRIMINAL LAW

South Dakota soIon's Bill Is Radical
Innovation.
Senator Norpeck introduced a bill
which, if passed, will revolutionize

Norbeck's measure would clothe the
prosecuting attorney in any criminal
action with legal authority to call at
tention to the fact that the defendant
had not testified in his own behalf in
the event of such an occurrence.
Such an act would be complete
reversal of the criminal practice Of
the state and would set aside one Of

Several of the men who attended an
enthusiastic and unusu-l meeting, held
yesterday, are permanent members of
the local Venezuelan colony, the others
bling in New York as transients or
voluntary exiles because of what they
term the 'intoleisable" situation in
their own country.
An Office for the carrying on of the
divers affairs of the junta will be
opened within the week in the lower
section Of the city.
The five officials elected to the di-
rectorate have been prominent in tn
political affairs in Venezuela, and all
Of them have held government offices.
The "1unta directiva' follows.
President, Luis r. Guzman, littera-
teur and former meanbe of Congress
during the administration OF President
Andrade. Senior Guznaan left Venezuela
when General Capriano Castro came to
power, n took part in all the move
ments to depose Castro from the presi-
dency.

MANNER At SEA

New Workers. Wife May Have
Walked Off Steamer in
Her Sleep.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 22.-Mrs. J.
w. Sneed. of New York, wife of the
factory superintendent Of the British
American Tobacco Company. was lost
from the steamer Tamba Maru, due
Wednesday from the Orient, according
to wireless dispatches received today.
Mystery surrounds her death.
Whether she fell, jumped or was
thrown off is not known. One theory
is that she walked off in her sleep. 1t
occurred when the ship was 155 miles
out from Shanghai, where Mrs. Sneed,
her husband and two grown daughters
and two sons embarked.
1t raj a happy family. The children
were singing in the social hall when
their father and mother retired. Mrs.
Sneed was not missed by her husband
until $3.50 a. m.

EXPECT PROGRESSIVES TO
FIGURE IN TAFT'S FIGHT.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Although
Charles P. Taft predicts his brothers
denomination and reelection next year,
because as he says the business men
are for him, the fact remains that a
strong progressive opposition il de-
veloping which at this time, a year be-
fore the national convention, promises
to have an important effect upon the
platform of the party and possibly
upon the candidates for President and
Niee-President.
The Progressive Republicans have a
strong organization of their own in a
number of States, and campaign funds
already are adequate, 1t Is said. for
their purpose. Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, il can be stated positively,
will receive the votes of the Pro-
gressive Republican delegates in the
national convention for President.
How many these delegates will num-
Der is conjectural now, but the most
enthusiastic progressives do not pro-
fess hope.
