A FRENCH VIEW OF AMERICANS

Strange to say there are still some
Americans, and very good Americans,
who rese MT criticism by foreign travel
ers in this country. We have never
been able to understand why. If the
foreigner stayed here long enough real
ly to know this country he would get
the American point Of view. He woult
lose the freshness of his un-American
eye. Therefore we welcome, and shall
continue to welcome, the impressions
of Englishmen, Frenchmen and Ger
mans who have described the Unit

Women Win AS
Home Builders

on the general principle that 1t
takes woman to do well the
thing that a man knows all
about. However, the making Of
real home is second nature
with most women and for that
reason they should be consulted
pretty freely about the plans for
the house. When it comes to
lumber we find the women are
i extremely keen on the satin fin
ish and smooth surface stuff.
Guess they know that this kind
Of lumber is going to save a
heap of money in the actual
work of building because it
won't need any planning or sand
papering by carpenters. We're
strong on that very thing our.
selves and the mills we buy Of

grade quality. bright color and

nous suffrage lobby that put over

things, we wanted to defeat Judge
Putterbaugh"

nered fight, receiving 1929 votes

WATSON INDICTMENT VOID
Federal Judge Foster Decides Against
Government

Augusta, Ga, Oct 22.-The trial

sustained the motion of the defense
uuashing the indictment which
charged the Georgia editor with send
ing obscene matter through the mails
in an article in his magazine attack.
ing the Roman Catholic church. In
directing that the indictment be
quashed Judge Foster said:
"It appears in this indictment that
the publications alleged to have been
sent through the mails in violation
of the law are extracts from a COM
plete article. 1t is my opinion that
the government is required to plead
the entire article and is not entitled
to pick out few paragraphs here
and there and make them basis of an
Indictment"
He added that if the government
were allowed to pursue such course
ii would be possible to indict a per.
son for sending through the mails
a copy of the Bible. Judge Foster
said that in sustaining the motion OF
the defense he was not ruling upon
the question as to whether or not the
articles were obscene and that the
government might at any time pro-
ceed to reindict.

President Wilson's intimation that
he will not object to changes in the

many senators to make those changes

administration approval.
Many other important notifications
