Saturday Evening Post: Recent po-
litical news from Ohio gives one an
edifying glimpse Of the mass Of cheer
ful and impenetrable stupidity which
exists in the world. No doubt those
Russians who marched up to be shot
at by the Little Fathers Cossacks in
defense OF their right 10 present Pc
tition 20 the throne, OF those Firms
who sacrificed blood and liberty in sup
port Of their constitution, would be
considerably disconnected at learning
that hundreds Of theoretically respec-
table Ohioans. possessing far greater
political privileges, gayly .bartered them
away for few dollars in current coin.
Probably the same Ohioans would
have fought a czar who took away
their right TO vote. They were too
dull to understand that somebody had
fought for that right in the past and
somebody would have to fight again in
The future to regain It II its keeping
now were exclusively in hands as lit.
tie guided by intelligence as their own.
There is a good deal Of vote-selling
In this country. II is as prevalent, we
believe. among the natiye-born as
among the foreign-born. Never having
known anything but free institutions,
they fail to understand that such insti.
tions are not the free. irrevoeable gift
Of Nature, but result Of much human
sacrifice They would amend Lincoln's
Gettysburg address to read: THAT we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have a new
birth Of freedom, and that government
Of the people, BY the people, for She
people, shall not perish from the earth
unless we can get four dollars fol-
our vote"
Incidentally II Is a proof OF the rela
tive goodness OF our government: for
not even a vote-seller would barter
away MS ballot unlcas he felt perfect
~ sure that his essential liberty would
be undisturbed, no matter who might
be elected.

HOW TO BUY LINEN

Working Knowledge Of Kinds and
Prices Essential to Woman Who

Outlay.

There are few women, of whatever
age or condition, who do not feel
pleasure in the sight OF a goodiy store
Of lustrous damask, and to acquire
such a store. to use herself and then
TO dover her daughters, is one Of
the dear objects Of all mothers
hearts.
Ireland is the great home of linen
manufacture Indeed, 1t Is said a GER
tain firm in Belfast is the only one
in the world still turning out genuine
grass-bleached damasks. Irish linen
is the most expensive at first cost, but
probably the most inexpensive In the
long run, as there Is practically no
wear out to the splendid Irish cloth.

Of tablecloths of Irish linen range from
three dollars up, depending first upon
the fneness and lnen upon the size
of the cloth
French, German and Scotch linens
follow after the Irish in order
French linens are very fine and have
an exquisite finish. German and
Scotch linen ~ said TO be bleached by
chemicals, which probably affects its
wearing qualities On this account
many housekeepers prefer to buy their
cheaper linens unbleached and bleach
them at home. These cloths wear well
and 1t is an indisputable economy tc
use cheaper linens every day, espe
cialiy when there are children, so as
to save the finer cloths and nap
kins. 'rfN
Pattern cloths for round tables are
made in beautiful designs, with 8

the quality OF damask does not depend
upon the weight Of the thread. but

DENIED TO
OKLA.

Washington, Feb S.-No further in
yestigations on irrigation protest. in
Oklahoma will be made owing to ques-
tionableness Of Investments and the
meager possibilities of persons who
would be benefited from government
irrigation work, to return money which
the government would be compelled to
expend, declares Secretary Ballinger in
a letter to Congressman Morgan, re-
ceived Thursday That section OF the
reclamation act providing for expendi-
lures in various states from which
mcneys were derived from the sale of
public lands, was repealed by act Of
June %, 1910, and he says inyestiga-
tions have proven that no practicable
irrigation investments in Oklahoma
could be made. THE number Of per-
sons to be benefited BY irrigation Is
small" writes the secretary, and the
lands which would be affected are con
fined to narrow strip. Most OF the
requests for irrigation come from
towns-people ana not land owners.
Before any irrigation project is fea-
sible, land owners along the streams
must agree to mortgage their lands to
the extent Of $40 to $50 an acre and
further agree to pay 81 per acre yearly
for operation and maintenance OF irri-
cation system. In addition owners
would have to dispose Of all lands in
excess of 100 acres and live on the
land.
Reclamation investments In north
western Oklahoma are questionable
and there is little possibility OF the per
sons being able to pay back the money
that would have to be expended in
their behalf
THE reclamation fund derived from
the sale Of public lands TO be recov-
cred 20 the federal treasury in time
and the fund is in reality but an in
vestment Formerly irrigated areas in
Oklahoma have been abandoned
Representative Morgan declares that
he will again take the matter up with
the interior department as he thought
Secretary Ballinger in his letter con
fined himself TOGO largely TO generals
ties.
