THE FARMERS SUFFER MOST FROM POLITICAL
 INJUSTICE; THEY WILL NOT MAINTAIN IT

speaking sof. the "town system" of representation, and the proposed new constitution promised by the Social ists, the Standard says that the small towns have the power to maintain this system, and propose to keep it and will not give it up and that it cannot be taken from them save by force of arms.
 With the first part of the sproposi- tion there is agreement The small towns have the power, but that they will not assent to a more equitable system is not agreed.
 The real sustaining force behind the town system to-day are the lob by and the representatives, of rail- road and public service monopoly. The system lends itself to the aims Of these interests and they support it by every means in their power.
 To assert that the sturdy farmers and honest citizens of the small towns will long support an unjust and un-American plan of representation, after the facts of the injustice are brought home to them. is a libel up- On LlSn WHO are. Ol the very DdCtA- bone of the state.
 The town system does not help the small towns It does not aid the farmers who make up the population of the small towns. It is of the na- ture of political injustice, and of the essence of wrongs inflicted by the in equalities of government. that those who suffer most are the humber sort of producers, the farmers and other workers. ----
 Any intelligent man, or political party honestly determined to have popular representation. can go before the farmers in the small towns with such an array of facts as will con- vince them, not only that the small towns have not benefited by unequal representation, but that they have borne the brunt of the economic in jury wrought by and through the system which is alleged to be so dear to them.
 The farmers pay more than their share of taxes. They have less than their share of the benefits of govern

 Shanghai, Jan. 2o-More fighting of eveh a bloodier character than here tofore, is expected to follow before the establishment Of a new government:
 News from Pekin that the imperial clan IS still holding out against abdi- cation, despite the threats of Premier Yuan Shi Kai that he will resign un- less they yield, has convinced the ma jority of revo utionary sympathizers that the Manchus will abdicate only at the point of bayonets.
 The armistice will expire on Jan. 2S, and unless the royal family has re- moved to Jehol by that time, the re- publicans will set in motion the elab- crate D ans already prepared for an assault upon Pekin. The rebels be- lieve that little resistance will be made by the imperial troops in cer- tain sections because they have not received any pay for weeks Prom -ises of several million dollars for the army were made some time ago by Manchu princes, but the money has not been forthcoming A report is In circu ation that the imperialists are short of ammunition and will be un- able to continue the war very long unless they obtain money and sup plies

 The rapid increase in the photo play business has resulted in dearth of good plots. and the manufacturers are now offering big cash payments for suita ble ideas.

CHICAGO, Tune S-That the mothers

uncxpurgated lectures on the sex problem
was demonstrated yesterday, when men
and women physicians began their first
series of talks on sex hygiene in public
schools.
Fashionable mothers. who nave chill
dren growing into manhood aud woman-
hood, came in stylish gowns to attend
the sex instruction, and refused to give
ear TO terms used only for the purpose
of teaching them to guard their chill
dren's lives.
Some of them placed their fingers TO
their ears when the physicians spoke in
plain English concerning the effects Of
gay revels and midnight hours.
So great was the antagonism exhibited
by some of the mothers hat the women
physicians who have been selected by
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent
of schools, to deliver lectures. have de-
cldcd TO modify their language. The
lectures will continue until June is. dur
