HOW THE WOMEN VOTE
By Alice Hodges. Husoton. Kansus


That wOmen's rights will have full
sway.
My! how she'll frizz and fix her hair
And dress herself with greatest care
And go with hubby to the polls
What for? They couldn't tell tC
save their souls;
But the men have given them the
right
To help in this election fight,
SO now they'll have to grin and beaH
The inconvenience Of having them
there.
can see them now, in my minds
eye;
When they're given their tickets, ami
try and try
understand,
without the help of the creature
man.
And then, the dear things are afraid,
You see,
To vote as she wants to, for fear that
she
viii kill the vote of some man or
another,
Who may be her husband, her faith
err or brother;
And so you can see Just at a glance,
She's most afraid to vote when she
gets the, chance.
There's Mrs. Newlywed, now / can
see;
And she's just as pretty as she can
be.
Ia she anxious to vote? Why, bless
you! mo-;
But Mr.. Newlywed said she could go;
so she has decided to try it just once,
And risk being afterward called a
Ounce.
She scanned her ticket DER and DER
And murmured something about "a
BORE
And said, "Dearie, fix this, 1t won't
take long;
And l am afraid | will get 1t wrong. /"
Next came old maid Jenkins, wad-
ding in;
She was large and fat, and ugly as
sin?
She asked for a ticket, On the So
cialist PLAN"
Because there was one particular
Who voted the Socialist ticket
straight;
And she imagined 1t wasn't too late,
To find for herself partner for life;
And she thought that to be a Social
lists wife
Would be better than living in single
bliss,
So she'd vote 1t once, let it hit or
miss.
Then came Grandma Perkins, an
aged one;
And she leaned ON the arm of her
only son;
she said Dear Jack, let's vote DEM
ocratic today;
For your dear old pap always voted
that way.
And Mrs. Simpson, so gentle and
meek,
Was so scared and excited she
couldn't speak;
But took the Republican ticket her
husband held out,
Without scarcely knowing what she
was about;
And filled it out just to suit her lord,
Then handed 1t in when he said the
word.
Then in came Dinah. dressed fit to
kill;
And she was so tickled she couldn't
keep still;
But. grlnned at Rastus, and tossed
her head,
Till they gave her a ticket. she most
dropped dead,
And said, with mighty sickly look
"Ah kuess Ah'll take one like Ras-
tus took
Then Mrs. Jackson, very naughty and
cold,
With manner and look that she
meant to be bold,
Said, Give ME ticket, the populist,
mind;
When Pa was alive, he voted that
kind"
And so it goes on the livelong day Il
The women vote as the men folks
say.
And look at it any way you can,
Her chief desire is to please a man.
And where have they gained great
amount
BY having these extra votes to count?
Isn't the government run on a very
good plan,
When all of the voting Is done by
man?
And he'll think just as much of his
wife, you bet.
II she's her own sweet self, not a
Suffragette.

John Miller Carson.

Not only to those intimate friends
who loved him for his kindly qualities,
but to the government that he served so
well. the death of John Miller Carson.
veteran newspaper correspondent. civil
war veteran. and former Chief of the
Bureau of Manufactures, will be a dis
tinct loss. Maj. Carson was man of
strong character but gentle disposition.
He was one of the most efficient CORE
spondents who ever served in the press
galleries of the Capitol. He was there
in the days when the character of the
newspaper world was being nodded
from Washington. His work did much
to elevate the tone of newspaper work
in Washington.
Later, when President Mckinley
sought to claim him as private secre-
tary, when he was offered the position
OF Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
and various other financial posts in the
government service, he showed his
strong liking for the newspaper work
that he had chosen as his vocation by
refusing the honors that were thrust
upon him. 1t was not until he grew
much older and felt the newspaper pace
too rapid that he gave his ripe expert
ence TO the service of the government,
accepting the post of Chief of the Bu-
reau of Manufactures. To this posi-
ton he brought a remarkable ability
clear judgment, a knowledge of men
and affairs that enriched the service
and was OF value to the whole country.
The newspaper world will feel the
loss of fellow-worker, the govern
ment will lose a valuable servant, and
the world will be deprived of one of
its noblest characters in the passing of
Mai Carson.

The mosquito is the smallest known

The only Interpretation OF their pres

COURT GOSSIP IN WHICH
AMERICAN LADY IS CONCERNED

Mrs. II. had them stay with her for the
st. Maio aviation week.
Who is this Mrs. II. who has SO capti-
waited the Dinard royalist colony and
high life? Few knew forty years ago
whence she came. In the early COS she.
with husband and daughter, the latter a
typical, prosaic. hotel-reared American.
turned up at Rome. But both are either
dead. or there must have been a separa-
ton. In the Eternal City the future So
ciety queen paraded a sort Of offhanded
INVERNESS paired with egotism, talking
mostly OF herself.
Her frankness. freedom, and vitality
must have uelped her To get on at Dinard.
She had and still has, a fine memory
Tor names and faces and truly Ameri-
can way OF mapping out her life and
following the map. This explains a good
deal of her success. For two months
each year she lives" The other ten
months the ball and dining-rooms are
shut up. the establishment reduced to a
minimum. and no bills run up at pouI-
terers' and butchers save for the appli-
cation to the cheeks OF the remedy, to
be kept on nocturnaIly, that pugilists
use for black eyes. Throughout these
ten months Mrs. II is a vegetarian.

year. From various reports it may be
inferred that Italy, as condition OF
the renewal of the alliance, has asked
that her interests in the Mediterranean
should be guaranteed. She must con-
slider the balance of power there threat
ened when she is concerned for its de-
tense. The growing cordially between
Great Britain and France, and now the
concentration of the French feet in the
Mediterranean, evidently have perturb-
ed the Italian government, which ap-
pears to fear that the Mediterranean
may be transformed into an Anglo
French sea.
Italy's proposal that the Triple Al
lance should be extended to the Medi-
terranean is said to have been favor
ably received in Berlin, and, according
to one newspaper, Germany herself
made the proposal. Germany is not
Mediterranean power, but her position
as world-power necessarily has drawn
her into the policy of Mediterranean
interests. The aim of Italian policy
namely, the freedom of the Mediter-
ranean and the maintenance of the bal
ance of power-can and must be ap-
proved by Germany. Austrian policy
has evidently the same object Whether
Germany, however, should go so far as
to guarantee this, that is to carry on,
if need be, a great war on its behalf,
must be carefully considered by Ger
man statesmen. Therefore the appre-
hension of the Italian statesmen, if not
unfounded. is exaggerated-for the
present, at least.
The concentration of the French feet
in the Mediterranean seems merely de-
signed to prevent Italy from renewing
the Triple Alliance Italy had better
remain by the side of Great Britain
and France, this is the warning intend
ed to be conveyed by the action of
France. That a threat and then its
execution should follow the warning
is incredible, for too many important
interests are at stake for Great Britain
and France, to rush headlong into an
embodiment with Germany on a mat
ter not vital.
1t will not be easy for Italian states
men to find the right answer to the
step taken by NJ. Delcasse.

Commerce Begets Peace.

There was a time when every nation
r welcomed war among other nations.
Especially if it involved its rivals. 1t
was believed that it strengthened its
own position by weakening others, and
that the necessities, incident to the tur-
mol and distress, caused by contend
sing armies, contributed to its own pros
perity We have now learned that
sooner or later each must help pay the
price of the others misfortunes, and
bat each thrives best when there is a
iendly adjustment among all This

idress of President Taft at the ban

to the men of trade which will mean
much to the world of commerce. He
ventilated questions and problems that
lie at the foundations of the peace and
progress of the human race.
Many of us can recall the time when
such cordial interchange of good will
between the representatives of so many
nations would have been impossible. or
il it had taken place it would not have
been accepted in the spirit that evil
IDENTIFY prevailed at this gathering. We
have entered upon a new era of inter
national comfy. and this has been
brought about through clearer under
standing of our interdependence and
of Our responsibility for the advance
ment of human welfare. We have
reached a degree ST comprehension Of
the varying points of view. from which
world-problems are approached. that
enables us largely to dispense with the
old-time reservations and enter into
that free and confidential interchange
that characterizes the relations of a
common family
Differences of attitude still may arise.
These hardly ever will be avoided. They
occur in families, in communities, and
so must be expected between nations:
but the whole sentiment of the con-
gress was in favor of their reference
to some impartial tribunal, which should
unite the knots OF sharply conflicting
interests. We have learned the lesson
that war does not pay; that in what
ever part of the world it may occur it
is curse not only to those that wage
it, but to all the rest of the world as
well
