VOTES FOR WOMEN

Women have always been told that
they would subject themselves to all
sorts of disagreeable experiences if
they were granted the franchise, and
went to the polling places, with men,
to vote. OF course they have Won
dered why this should happen, as
they have gone everywhere else with
men, and now, they have found out
that II is all another one of the myths
that fade away when the actual trial
comes. The following little story of
how it really does work, is clipped
from an exchange and comes from
where they know:
A two-page story in the last issue

city find out exactly what paving
costs, and by the employment of a
man who is competent and disinterest
ed, get at the bottom of the contro-
versS of the different paving COM
panies as to the different kinds of
paving. 1t may be that there are bet
ter kinds than either now before the
council. 1t is certain that we have
been paying altogether too much for
the work done. The paving war in
Portland has demonstrated that, and
the coming here of the Dolorway peo-
pie has done us good. We ought to go
into further work with our eyes open,
and no longer blindly.
Since we own a steam roller and
a rock crusher, and many of our cit
liens would like work with their
teams. it seems to me that we can
probably do the work ourselves, and
save the city the profits of contrac-
tors. In any event, it is worth in
vestigation.
1t will do no harm If further paw
ing goes over another year, when
money will be more easy to obtain
Times are rather hard for most prop
erty owners just now. When the
whole matter has been Investigated
it may be that we shall find that good
macadam is after all the best for
the residence districts. and we GER
tainly can lay that within ourselves
with one good road man employed.
Yours truly.

GASOLINE, THE FOE OF DANDELIONS
BY Albert Abahr Head Pen
deon

The dandelion seems to be the pre-
dominating lawn pest in this city and
is causing considerable damage in
many lawns by destroying the beauty
of the landscape as well as killing the
grass. The usual method of compat-
ing these plants by cutting them off
just below the ground has been dis
appointing because the plant usually
reappears. II the plant is cut off sew
eral inches below the surface of the
ground the part of the root remain
ing will usually die but this is gem
orally not accomplished in the at
tempt and is rather long and tedious
task
\ method of eradication that is
much easier and more effective is to
Kill the plant by means of gasoline.
This may be done ly simply pouring
a little gasoline into the crown or top
of the plant which will cause it to die
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-06-01

within few days This causes the
whole root as well as the top of the
plant to die.
If the plant has already blossomed
1t is also well to snip the flower off
leaving the long stem which may be
filled with gasoline in addition to
pouring it into the crown, thus being
more sure of destroying the dande-
lion. The amount TO apply to a plant
can best be determined by few trials.
The smaller plants sometimes need
only few drops while the larger
ones generally need to be pretty well
saturated. A few applications will
show how much is necessary.
With the simplicity of the process
and the fact that a gallon or two of
gasoline will clean lawn. the dande-
lion should not be such a hard weed
to control.
Respectfully yours,
ALBERT ASHBAHR.

COUNTIES WHILE YOU WAIT.

Speaking of tinkering, some star

who want to make the creation of
new counties easy. They have draft

TO be voted upon this fall.
The essential feature of the bill as
reported is that the decision as to
whether or not a new county shall be
created rests entirely with the peo-

for a new county. The counties from

Judge Lindsey and
The Lust for Office.

Only a few years ago to mention
Juvenile courts was to name Ben
Lindsey. The two seemed one and
inseparable. The progress that has
been made toward the establishment
snd maintenance Of Juvenile courts
is the most promising thing in the
way of judicial reform that has hap
pened for a generation.
In nearly every city of any size in
the country hayward children are
treated as such and not as hardened
criminals on whom the government
must work out vengeance. Judge Ben
Lindsey organized the first successful
Juvenile court. At least his was the
first to get into the lime light The
influence Of this boys Judge and Of
his children's court has been felt all
over the country. Ben Lindsey's
name had become to be a synonym
for reform.
OF late however, many cautious
people have been thinking that the
lure of the spotlight and the lust for
office are getting in their work on
the Judge. He has been doing much
magazine writing, most of it autobi-
ographical and in all of it he has been
the hero of his own tales.
But all discretion was thrown aside
when the juvenile court judge ap-
peared at the Bull Moose convention
at Chicago as an humble applicant for
vice presidential honors.
OF course he didn't get it; the empty
