Mary D. McFadden, editor of the
Courant, under the caption Of "Poli-
tics and St. Paul Schools,' strongly
criticises the methods of Mayor Kel-
Ter of ST. Paul in refusing to permit
the women of that city ''to vote on
matters pertaining to schools and IL
braries and the taxes levied in their
upkeep.'' 1t seems that the charter
of ST. Paul denies this, but the con-
stitution of the state of Minnesota
gives women the right to vote on
such matters. Consequently Mayor
Keller is apparently taking an arbi-
trary stand by appointing the mem
bers of the St. Paul school board in
stead of giving the people-women
included-the right to elect them.
This is condition of affairs which
should be emedied-school board
members should be elected by the
people-and we admire the action
taken by Mary McFadden in her ad.
vocacy of the right conferred by the
constitution. r s'.. $751;. ..

A poor fellow was recently released
from the penitentiary at Columbus,
Ohio, upon pardon issued by Gov
ernor Cox, but it was only to be
transferred to an insane asylum and
there confined. The record OF the
case is pathetic. Six years ago
William WEIGH, the unfortunate re-
ferred to, stole a piece of bacon,
valued at dollar, from a farmer
while hungry and unable to obtain
work. He pleaded guilty to a
charge of burglary, believing that
leniency would be shown him., but
Judge A]lread sentenced him to a
life term, and the confinement drove
him insane. The imposition of 50
drastic punishment for so small an
offense is an eternal shame to the
great state of Ohio.

A. NJ. Kennedy, general inspector
for the Edison company, who has
been in Minneapolis in connection
with the introduction of talking mo-
tion pictures at that place, says that
the invention is yet in it's infancy
but that Mr.. Edison expects within
a short time to present entire
dramas and operas. If this is made
possible, and if the voices can be re-
produced in perfectly natural tones,
it will put the majority of dramatic
and operatic troupes out of business.

THE PRINCETON UNION. THURSDAY, MARCH 1913.

The letter Of j. Z. Travers, mana
ger Of the Mile Laos Transportation
company, to the Duluth Commercial
club. advocating the passage by the
state senate of the Dunn good roads
bill, which was published in the Du-
luth Herald Of recent date, sets forth
in plain language the advantages
which would accrue from the meas
ure were it to go into effect. Mr..
Travers compares the Dunn measure
with the law which authorizes the
building of trunk highways to the
disadvantage of the latter. He
shows clearly that the farmer who
seeks to haul his products to market
would be little benefited by trunk
highways but chat the Dunn good
roads measure would afford him every
opportunity for that purpose. He is
not opposed to trunk roads, which,
he says, will come with time, but
contends that first of all roads as ad-
vocated by the Dunn measure should
be built for enhancing the settlement
of the millions of acres of fertile
lands in our state by providing out
let's for trade and commerce.

Mrs. L. Brackett Bishop of Chi

bureau of women to design correct

this "correct'' dress would mean
garments which would hold mere
