 GIVE WARNING OF
 SOMETHING AWFUL
Elsie Howey Gets Two Months Prison Sentence For Turn ing in False Fire
 Alarm

London, Dec. 1.-Two months in prison was the sentence, today. inn posed in police court on Miss Elsie Howey, the only sufrragette partici- pating in the false fire alarm cam paign whom the police were able to catch. The young woman was seen to turn in an alarm from a corner demeanor and the two months i'm prisonment was the maximum pen atty.
 The police were unable to appre- bend any other offenders because the false alarms mostly were reported from public telephone booths. in pay stations and the suffragettes were gone before policemen sent to investf- gate could reach the place.
 All yesterday the nerves of all London were strained almost to the breaking tension by the continuous fire alarms, all of which proved to be suffragette hoaxes and by night the fremen were exhausted
 The policemen and hremen were strong in their denunciations of the women and declared that the felse alarm scheme was the most provolr- ing of the outrages perpetrated by the militants''
 The suffragettes have given fair warning that they have a thorough surprise for Christmas time but they refuse to give any inkling of what ft thing awful If the police do not soon learn what those words mean it is feared that some of the depart ment heads will fall victims to nerV- ouS prostrations.
 The gIeeful sufragettes are boast ing that their Yuletide performances will eclipse all of their past pranks.
 What will they do next7" is a and the would-be voters answers Something awful"

J.
 : President ORourke of the Eastern association of baseball clubs has writ ten to Secretary Farrell of the Ma tionaI association asking for the re- opening of the Northampton players claim for back pay. An order was to pay the claim but President ORourke says this ruling Is unjust. He declares that according to base ball law the league is not required to pay the money unless another attempt is made to place 8 team in Northamp- ton The claim amounts to only a few hundred dollars but Uncle Jeems says he is battling for a principle. Ac- cording to. the latest ruling the league would have to pay the claim If 1t amounted to $10,00o and the latter sum would tax the leagues resources.

Gov. Wilson's Courage.

There are few public men OF the
courage OF Governor Wilson. He
stands for a principle and dares DEE
fend 1t even at the risk of failure
to realize his ambition. He had rata-
er be right than President. and the
people will love him for making
enemies OF those who wear the ny-
cry of Democracy. the better to
serve the devil of Plutocracy. II was
Senator Smith OF New Jersey and
his clique who. twenty years ago.
made 1t impossible for the Demo
Gratis to carry out their platform
promises as TO the tariff. He was u
reactionary then and he is a re-
dictionary now. He wanted to mis-
represent the State of New Jersey
again in the United States Senate
and claimed that his advocacy of
high protective tariff is In the in
terest OF the working man, most
arrant absurdity. The men who
grow rich by the tariff are not tho
friends OF labor and no tariff was
ever designed for the laboring man.
Governor Wilson has no patience
with such utterances or with the
men who make them. He boldly de-
clared that Senator Smith must be
beaten and by a man who stands
for policies, changed by Circumstance
IS and altered by necessities of poll
tics. In other words that he wouli
stand for no man who does nor
stand squarely on the progressive
platform adopted at Baltimore. The
result was Smith was beaten by
10000. All honor to such man.
and he is sure to receive IL from
the people who love honesty in
politics and uprightness and In
.egrity in men.
