AMERICAN WOMEN UNITE TO
HONOR TITANIC" HEROES.

Never before in this history of the
United States have the women of this
country built up such tremendous
movement as is the case with the
present undertaking of the Woman's
Titanic" Memorial to erect in Wash
ington a towering arch or majestic
monument in honor of the men who
gave up their lives on the Titanic to
save the women and children. Prac-
ticaIly every one Of the $4,000 wo-
mems clubs and organizations of
America has already pledged contribu-
tions and cooperation to this cause.
Interest in it has been aroused from
New York to Hawaii. from the Great
Lawes to Porto Rico among rich and
poor. among working women and wo-
men Of leisure.
Not only have all the circles of
civilian life responded to the appeals
for help in building this great memoir
ial. but the women Of the United
States Army and Navy have been or
ganized to work as units IN contribut-
ing money and arousing further in
tereSt in this plan of American women
to honor the courage and nobility of
men.
The movement known as the woF
mans Titanic" Memorial was inaug-
urated during the last week of April
when Mrs. John Hays Hammond, fam

front them and perhaps turn them
from us when they desire to cooperate
with US.
But the action of the committee, so
far as II is directed against republi-
cans who have registered as demo
Gratis and yet who have no intention
of afillating with the democracy, is
both right and proper
The primary law Of this state was
framed with the express purpose Of
preventing republicans from partici-
pating in democratic primaries and
vice versa. Accordingly, we have
both law and common sense against
such practices. Obviously. a republi.
can has no business in a democratic
primary nor a democrat in a republi-
can primary.
So the question for election officials
to determine, in advance of allowing
voter to participate in either dem
ing in good faith. Many of them are
registered as democrats and many as
independents. Those who are regis
tered as democrats have an indisput-
able right to participate in the demo
cratic primaries. 1t is sheer nonl
sense to say to them that, before they
enjoy the privileges of voting in
democratic primary, they must first
serve a probationary period.
The action of the committee. so far
ocratic or republican primary, is sole
ly one of good faith. If voter is
democrat for primary purposes only,
he has no right to participate in
democratic primary, while, on the
other hand, if he is democrat in good
faith, and expects to vote the demo
cratic ticket at the November cleo
ton. he has the same right to partici
pate as the citizen who has affiliated
a lifetime with the party.-Okla-

The ADVERTISER.

Old Faker, of the gold brick store,
spent rolls Of roubles by the score,
announcing special sales OF cheese
and setting hens and bumblebees.
These goods. he said, we're fresh and
clean, the finest goods he'd ever seen.
He had to sacrifice them all to buy his
stock of Junk for fall All goods had
been marked down one.third; the peo-
pie took him at his word and blew
themselves for shoes and hats and gar
ments that would hide their Stats
And soon they found the things they
bought, like Faker's promises, were
rot: the goods that he declared so
nice were mighty dear at any price
He fooled them this way divers times,
and gathered In a lot of dimes, but
soon they tumbled to his game and
swore at mention of his name The
cobwebs grew in Faker's store; he has
no business any more, and every time
a man goes past, he sighs: The

Everybody knows the third party
leaders are irrevocably against bosses
and are strong for the peepul." They
have been so ever since the Chicago
convention refused to tag Mr.. Roose-
velt. Since then every time the word
boss is mentioned these leaders bristle
up like a tortoise shell tomcat and
the words the speak and the things
they think are indeed bitter and We
hement. 1t is their one purpose in life
to see that the dear 'peepul'' shall do
as they please and vote for whoever
they please if they want to-provided
they are favorable to the third-termer.
Under these highly pleasing condi-
tions it is wee bit disappointing, or
at least surprising, to have Senator
Dixon announce that Senator Bever-
idge viii be temporary chairman of
the coming Chicago convention. There
wasn't even so much as a straw vote
taken; If there had been, somebody
else would have been chosen. 1t was
a matter too delicate and coming at
too crucial a time in the third-party
movement to trust to the impetuous
action of mere delegates.
1t is also more or less amazing to
have William Allen White instruct the
voters of Kansas who to vote for and
in order to make the instructions
plain to send out printed lists of
names on the slate

and everybody knows it is for the best,
and yet-and yet-aren't the Roose-

That protection for dumb animals
is needed every day no one can deny
who thinks at all upon the subject,
and education in this respect is equal
! ly needed One proof of this fact is
seen in the general use of such a dan
gerous plaything as the toy gun, To
a lover of animals, it seems astonish-
ing that any parent can give into the
hands of a child a toy that is as dan
gerous as a small revolver. Armed
with this means of destruction, and
with small ability as a marksman, the
child becomes an active element of
danger to every one in his neighbor-

dren have already happened from the
use OF toy guns, and the lessons of
cruelty that the boy himself receives

birds. cats and dogs, are countless and

sake of killing. to wound and infiict
