Editorials by the People



To the Editor OF The Times: In
your Issue OF Feb. you published q
list OF representatives whom the
women lobbyists claimed had pledged
themselves Co vote for the submission
OF the woman suffrage proposition,
but who actually did vote against IL.
I am included In this list. In the
presence OF press representatives and
members OF the legislature the women
lobbyists who gave out this list. and
the representative who introduced the
resolution. had TO, admit that none OF
them had ever spoken TO me on the
proposition at all: had never met me-,
and had no pledge from me In any
form. Mrs. Russell thought someone
might have told her | was believed to
be favorable. but she was more IN
clined TO believe that the press CORE
spondents had made mistake. so
on hearsay or presumption these lob
byists sent my name broadcast over
the state as liar. welcher and hop

suffrage surely cannot be promoted

proposition because ! am In grave

DRY. always thought the proposition
absurd Mrs. Gannser sat with the
wives of four other Representatives
while the votes were being cast. Only
one OF the Ave favored It, received
only one letter urging my support
from Bay City, while many opposed
Il, and among some 40 women friends

weekend recess only two actually
wanted to vote, and more than half
were opposed. ! might have voted

this all-important matter were left to

the company drew salary OF
$4,000, and there were NET
profits besides amounting to
$4,000.
That was a lot of jam to put
on a piece of bread and butter
was it not?
Now how was this campaign
conducted? Heretofore pencil
sharpeners had been put in the
hands of statesmen who called d.
rect on business men.
The PLAN OF ADVERTIS-
ING adopted by the company
was to offer business men an OPP
portunity to try the Automatic
Pencil Sharpener for ten days,
placing the machine on trial.
When a machine was placed
in a business Office the advertis-
ing man sent along some inter-
esting literature, which illustrat-
ed how the machine would save
$40 per year of time Heretofore
consumed by his clerks in sharp
ing their own pencils.
Usually the trial proved salts
factory and a lot of machines
were sold in this way.
Over 100000 of these little
machines are now sold yearly,
and this has been accomplished
within the short period of three
years. The advertising appro-
priation increased a little each
year, and is now only $1,000 q
month.

FIRST STEP DOWN IS FATAL
Will Twins Little Sermon Teaches
That Hotels and Newspapers Must
Remain Respectable.

Suppose you are an innkeeper, with
a fine, respectable establishment. To
stimulate profits you take down few
bars, begin to admit disreputable and
unpleasant people. Your hotel enjoys
great prosperity for two or three sea-
sons. then suddenly falls toward bank
ruptcy. The hotel bore reputation
for responsibility: the soiled charac-
tiers wanted to enter II in order to con-
ceal their real nature and intentions.
The newspaper bore a reputation for
sincerity; prostitute causes wanted to
enter 1t in order to get by association
the color Of truth. As time passed,
more and more disreputable people
came to the hotel, SO that it lost utter
ly its old reputation. AS time passed
the newspaper had to lie more and
more boldly, suppress more and more
brutally. and the public began to per-
ceive. Finally, even the disreputab,e
abandoned the hotel because it no
longer covered their intentions. Final
ly, the corrupt powers which fed the
newspaper discovered that it's word
carried no more force, that it was UNI
able to further their causes, and they
abandoned it to failure.-Will Irwin.

SHE KNEW vlRGInIA's Laws
Row Maiden Lady Of tho Old Domln-
Ion Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.

II women ever come to sit on tho
bench in old Virginia, there's NAL
den lady living on her ancestral acres
just across the Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the job.
Recently realty company bought
q tract Of land the other side OF her
property and plated 1t into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital. they instituted proceedings to
run public road through the old
lady's land; worse. as she learned.
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part Of her trim
lawn, dear with its memories OF her
childhood.
She consulted her lawyer. only to
be told there was no help for It,
since private property may, under the
law, be condemned for public use. no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless inroad on her cherished lawn.
the old lady buried herself in the
musty law library handed down from
an ancient ancestor, once a prominent
Judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later party OF
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains to lay out the line Of road. they
found the owner, spade in hand. just
setting out the last Of a phalanx OF
young apple trees squarely in front
Of the lawn and right in the line OF
the proposed highway.
IF you set foot inside this orchard.
she said defiantly to the astonished
surveyors, 'I'll have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass."
With that she called up half dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-
hind the barn for the summons.
What does all this mean?" asked
the leader of the surveying party. IN
whose contract there had been no
mention Of fighting. I'VE are survey
ing for public road and can go any
where"
"Anywhere-except through an or
chard!" exclaimed the old lady, pull
ing a musty volume from under her
apron. ITS been the law in Virginia
since the days of Patrick Henry that
you can't run even a public road
through an orchard, SO you stay Quit"
The old lady had dug up an ancient
law unknown to modern attorneys.
COMPOUNDED her opponents and saved
her lawn

LovE-MAKING STYLES CHANGE
Today the FIowery Sentiment Of Old
Time Plays 10 Considered Mere
ly Melodramatic.

When a successful play Of Is or
80 years ago is revived critics inva-
riably hasten to point out how the
atrical and "old-fashioned" dra-
matte fare used to be in the last gem
Grafton. And, in a sense, the criti-
cism is quite justified. The senti-
ment Of former day clogs; the
heroics only amuse us. Even SO ex-
pert q workman as Sardou feels the
changes of time. His set scenes
rage, denunciation, jealousy, terror
are nowadays dismissed as melodra-
matte. Actually, the difference is
one of manner and not Of essence.
We are quite as fond Of melodrama
today as people were 30 years ago,
if by melodrama one means impos-
sible human beings acting in an inn
possible way. And, if anything, we
are more sentimental today than the
Victorians were. Only, once upon
time sentiment voiced itself in nice
ly turned and nicely balanced SEN
fences succeeding each other in ora
torical form. Today even sentiment
has lot Of ego" to it. On the stage,
as in the magazines, today the broad
shouldered young man who addresses
lspasmodic half sentences to the only
woman in the world is as popular
and as offensive as the heroes we're
in the age of vapors and antima-
caesars.

DRESS IN ITALIAN SENATE.

Considerable excitement was
caused in the Italian senate the other
day, writes correspondent, by one
|of the ministers, the under secretary
for the interior, Signor Falcioni, en-
tering the sacred precincts dressed in
a fancy pattern morning coat in
stead Of the black frock coat which
lis de rigeur. Several senator's on
seeing him take his seat on the gov
crnment bench walked out as a mark
jof protest. Later when he arose to
make speech the opposition to his
doing so in his unusual attire was
ino strong that Signor Falcioni left
the senate chamber, returning in a
minute in the frock coat of an usher,
lent him for the occasion. On his
temperance he was loudly cheered.

known to give away anything in his

something in exchange. On one oc-

The seat directly In front of him was
occupied by a man who had been
coughing and sneezing at frequent in
tervals for more than an hour. At
last Mr.. SQuinchley leaned forward
and spoke to him.
