he has held acceptably for a number
o, years.
Not a woman in town is fighting
either Mr.. Nusbaum or Mr. Jordan.
They are opposing no one.
But they are urging the appointment
of Miss Hill as eminently qualified for
the position without regard to sex
The women of the city are practical
ly unanimous for this.
The school teachers of the town,
the majority of whom are women, who
are in charge of many of the buildings
and do the herculean work of educat-
ing the youth of the town, are a unit
for the appointment of Miss Hill
Since this body is chiefly affected
by the operations of this board, GER
tainly it's maker should be considered.
Attention has been pointed frequ-
emily of late in this paper to the city
of Chicago. one of the great metrop-
olises of the world, which has put its
entire school system in charge of a
woman, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. the SUI
perintendent of the public schools of
that city, who has also been the presi-
dent of the National Educational Asso-
citation.
The appointment of Miss Hill would,
therefore, cause no excitement in the
outside world as a revolutionary pro-
ceeding which imperils the constitu-
ton and foundations of this country.
1t would only be putting this city on
a level with the social progress of the
times and cause her to be recognized
as a sane and normal community.
The women want Miss Hill on the
School Board.
A great many men want her there.
All the school teachers want her.
The question to put to your coun-
Gilman therefore is

Unwilling Police.
Civilian

Civilian policemen were the only
ones possessed by Glasgow at one
time. In the eighteenth century, ac-
cording to III. G. Graham, the whole
safety and order Of Glasgow were in
trusted to the unpaid and reluctant
burghers. Every citizen who was be-
tween the years Of eighteen and sixty
and paid yearly rent amounting to f3
had to take his turn at guarding the
city. On touch of drum the gentleman
was at his post by 10 at night and
strolled with weary tread and yawning
gait along the Trongate and High
street and up the pitch dark lanes Of
winter nights till in the morning.
After that hour the city was without
police."-London Chronicle.

ers who agree that Miss Hill would be
an ideal appointment and would have
no objection to woman on the Board
state that they are pledged for other
candidates.
Why are they pledged?
This is what the women and the
men in their wards want to find out OF
them
If, in instance, the councilman from
the Sixth ward, say, is avowedly in ia,
vor of any one candidate, he should be
asked if the prevailing sentiment in
his ward has caused him to openly
announce himself for that candidate.
The time is rapidly approaching in
every form of democratic government
from the ward to the national when
those sent as representatives will
have to represent.
1t might be explained to those coun-
cilmen who are evidently unaware of
the trend OF the times that a great
number of states give the women of
the commonwealth the privilege of
voting on school questions.
That in the bordering states of ILL
nois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and
Kentucky women vote on school ques-
of school boards.
That in these instances women cast
their votes direct, school boards be-
ing elected like other city officials.
That, in addition, the state of Michi-
gan has within the past six months Civ
en- the women equal suffrage with men.
And that Ohio is about to submit a
similar proposition to the voters of the
state when the new constitution is
passed upon in the coming elections.
Also that six states in the Union
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
Washington and California have given
the women full suffrage with the men.
That in those states, during a period
of years since the suffrage has been in
the feminine possession, very few
women have run for Office.
That women's votes have produced
neither revolution nor an evolution.
The time is rapidly approaching
when great body of the educated and
intelligent citizenship shall not have
to sue for what are termed "privi-
leges" which are really their native
rights.
And beg them of few ignorant and
inferior men who hold Office by virtue
of Indifference and negligence on the
part of the intelligent element of their
own sex.
Let the city of Richmond rub it's
eyes, prop itself on it's elbows and take
a panoramic view of what is going on
in the world and no farther away than
New Paris.
1t has been reiterated time and again
that the women of Richmond are not
the candidacy of any man
on the school board.
Both Mr. Nusbaum and Mr.. Jordan
are highly regarded and considered
fully adequate for service on the
school board.
Mr.. Nusbaum's long service and pub
lie spirit fit him for a position which

Nowadays 1t is regarded as utterly
incorrect to speak Of stepmother as
a "mother-in-law." But anybody who
does can plead plenty Of literary au-
thority. "Mother-in-law" was good
English in this sense as we'll as the
other in 1916, and both Fielding and
Thackeray have it. "Father-in-law" is
used by Shakespeare both for wife's
father and for stepfather. and in
this sense it can be quoted from Dick
ems and George Eliot. But the general
agreement in modern times to stick to
''stepmother'' is a wise avoidance of
confusion.

MORE FOR TAFT.
(BuIletin.)

Chicago, June Sin the third dis.
trict of Arkansas the contest was be.
tween r. F. Granger and J. F. Meyers
for Taft, and Tom Williams and C. F..
McAllister for Roosevelt. The Roose-
welt side was presented by J. A. Com
er. After the two sides had been pre-
scented, Frank B. Kellogg of Minneso-
ia, Roosevelt man, moved that Grang-
er and Meyers be seated. The vote
was unanimous.
Still More Taft.
In the fifth Arkansas district the
first attempt of the Roosevelt men to
secure a compromise was made. A
motion that delegates from both sides
be seated with the votes divided be-
tween them was made, and was voted
down 10 to Al. The Taft men were
then seated.

Talk of bolt is still maintaining a
prominent part in the convention Cos

that it does not die down. Almost ey-

many delegates the colonel would take

the hall. The confident Taft men are
confident a bolt will occur. They

Before proceeding far with the
Magdalena Bay resolution today,
discussion began to touch 80 close to
government secrets that the doors
were closed and consideration went on
in executive session.
Senator Lodge, calling up the reso-
luton, which Is framed to record the
disapproval with which the United
States would view the acquisition by
foreign interests Of property on the
western hemisphere, which might
eventually become military or naval
bases, declared that its passage was
in the interest OF peace.
"The committee on foreign relations
believed 1t wise that the United States
should not let situation arise in
which it might be necessary to urge
friendly nation to withdraw when
that nation could not do so without
humiliation" he said.
What Is the real meaning of this
resolution, as it affects the Monroe
doctrine!' asked Senator Cummins
is it an extension or further applica-
tion of that principle?"
"The declaration rests on much
broader and older ground than the
Monroe doctrine replied Senator
Lodge This resolution rests on the
generally accepted principle that
every nation has right to protect Its
own safety"
