Neither have been sick scarcely q
day In their lives.
"Our baby sleeps in an open-air
house the year round" says Dr.,
Page. "She ID managed by persua-
sion and tact and not by force. She
Is not spoiled or pampered. We do
not say don't to her repeatedly.
She has learned obedience and learn
ed II In q quiet and natural way
Another factor which has contribut-
ed to her general poise Is the prac-
tice we have always made OF attend
ing to her comfort and never allow
ing her to be fretted or annoyed"
The only imperfection found In tho
Page baby was missing tooth. In
mental and physical development
she ranks with foursyear-old child.

Adrian was sentenced on charge
OF disorderly conduct. Politicians

Did you ever see. a girl working at
the shoemakiug and mending busi-
ness?
We usually think It is man only
who can do this sort OF work!
Here is the picture of little girl
who has entire charge Of an old
fashioned shoeshop.
She knows, perfectly we'll, how to
patch q hole neatly. She can half
sole shoes as we'll a. her father can
You see. she has been learning this
strange trade for 10 years. When
she was five years old she commenced
paying regular visits to the shoeshop
which belonged to her father. Bit by
bit she picked up first one piece OF
work and then another until now she
knows 1t all. She wears big leath
or apron while handling the shoes.
It's a novel occupation, but she
thinks 1t Is much pleasanter working
in her fathers shop than out away
from home at something else.

weeks to flnd q job.
She charged him with abandoning

he had obtained job and his wife
agreed to prepare all the meals he
provides. Leinhard will get so cents

When the collar round your neck
Rapidly becomes q wreck,

Double up as IL with cramp,
When You feel as If line

When you do not care to eat.
Cannot sleep because of heat.

The futuris

The futurist movement in Italy is
an organized movement whose head
quarters is at 81 Corso yenezia, Milan.
The director Is Marinetti and the de-
partments are poetry, painting, music
sculpture, feminine action and the art
of noise.
Umberto Boccioni represents sculp-
ture. BoccIoni tries to obtain an element
OF the dynamic in his work, says the
Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer. by decomposing this unity of
matter in certain number of different
parts of whith each may characterize
by its variety the difference of weight
and expansion of molecules.
The problem of dynamics in sculp-
ture does not depend, he says. solely
upon the difference in matter, but above
all upon the Interpretation of form.
The investigation of form from
nature alienates sculpture and painting
from Its origin and its consummation-
architecture.
Architecture is for sculpture what
composition is for painting. and the
absence OF architecture Is the most

The Gamblers Victim

night watchman, cursed with fatal fond
ness for gambling, lies dead by his own hand
in consequence of loss of his months pay, squan-
dered over an unknown but evidently accessible
gambling table.
The real truth about the cause of the death of
Henry Hamilton, night watchman in the Phelan
building may never be known but the bare state
ment of his widow carries on its face the cause Of
the tragedy and its lesson.
On Friday, the first of the month, the night
watchman received for his pay for the preceding
month the sum Of SIS. To his wife, his bride Of
less than year, Hamilton had been kind, accord
ing to her statement, but he was an nveterate
gambler, always promising to bring home his pay
check and money, but never doing so.
Thus he must have had ample opportunity for
gambling in this city in the last year, and must
have had knowledge common to others than him
SELF but apparently unknown to the police de-
partment.
Now, SIS month is not much, but it is enough
to mean happiness or wretchedness to little fam
lily which loses it. and in this instance succession
of losses at the gaming table has ended in self
destruction, according to the reports of the case
With his rent and grocery bill unpaid, and
with barely enough money in his pocket to pay
for the couples last meal together, Hamilton ended
his life leaving behind him not even one cent for
fare, but he did leave card of membership
in the Waldorf club.
This is one of the notorious seh-styled social
clubs" which are run by professional gamblers as
gambling houses under a cloak of quasi respect
ability and under the partial protection OF mslead-
ing and misinterpreted statutes.
Is it possible that there is legal remedy no
police protection against-not of-such death deal
ing and destructive organizations? The very idea
is absurd. Whether such organizations are quasi
legal and quasi respectable, they are really not
so and can be stopped permanently in many ways
by chief of police who is inclined to do his real
duty in protecting the public and not to shut his
eyes to real facts
1t is too late to restore Hamilton but there is
ample time to act SO as to prevent the liability of
such events occurring again very soon.

compulsory Voting

~ i The wisest statement among the many inter-
esting remarks made by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels while on his visit to the Pacific coast
was the one he made at Long Beach favoring COM
pulsory voting.
1t is a known and significant fact that the
privilege of the ballot is exerted by all Of
those who are entitled to use it, no matter under
what form of government they may live.
The most sinister feature of this failure to vote
is that the freer the government the fewer the
voters in proportion to their numbers
Where the suffrage is limited there it is the
more generally utilized Under system of limited
suffrage those who possess it prize it for what it is
the highest privilege that the law can confer on
citizen.
Where the suffrage is universal. and the citizens
know that they exercise their rights any time
and for any purpose they may deem wise, the
voters become indifferent to their duties
In consequence Of this indifference elections are
allowed to go by default to be carried by nnorties
by special interests for special purposes, and too
late the general public wakes up to find that it has
been hoodwinked
So long as the United States was federal
republic which it has for large part ceased to be
except in name and in the survival of the tradition
that it is SO, the dangers of neglect of the ballot
were not so serious as they under the huge and
unified democracy which this nation is so rapidly
becoming in spite OF the efforts of conservatives to
keep the famous old ship of state anchored to her
old moorings.
Secretary Daniels said that we have too large
class of nonvoters, generally we'll educated and
well to do" and that way should be required to
make it easy for them to vote, and then to require
them to vote.
The secretary is right about the nonvoters, but
they are by no means confined to nor exclusively
included in the well educated and the well to do
Observation has shown that unless some plan or
candidate of interest to labor is before the public for
election the laborer is as Indifferent to voting
the capitalist usually is to all topics except those
involving taxes or bond issues.

neglect of the ballot Instances in this state when

LOBBY GOSSIP
Seattle 5 Future Bright

George w. Smith, shipping man of
Seattle, who Is at the Sutter, says that
Seattle will be the second largest sea-
port in the United States within the
next 20 years. Mr.. Smith said
IF Seattle is not the second largest
seaport In the United States within the
next 20 years then we have all guessed
wrong and are spending our millions
for nothing. Seattle is spending
$s.ooo,ooo on docks and warehouses In
preparation for the completion of the
Panama canal. and these docks and
warehouses are the first of unit Of
what Will follow when the future needs
Of that port demand increased ship
ping facilities.
To show you just why we think we
will obtain from Europe selected
population of immigrants. the state has
provided for an annual expenditure of
about $2,000,000 for several years to
construct roads which will be of great
economic value In the opening up of
Washington. We have gone still fur
ther by. providing that each county
may issue bonds. the money obtained
to be loaned to bona fide settlers who
have taken up logged off lands.
These lands with stumps on them
can be cleared at from s35 to SIS an
acre. and when cleared will be worth
from $500 to $500 an acre. Washing
ton is also very anxious that Alaska
be opened up by railroads, and once
that Is done hundreds OF vessels will
be plying In that trade where there
are only about 20 today.
so, with our preparation for 2 great
influx of population when the canal is
finished, an immense increase In every
kind of business should follow when
the shack1es are taken from Alaska
and with the ever growing oriental

important elections upon financial and similar issues
were carried by less than third Of the cast for
candidates at the same election.
The chief reason for compulsory balloting under
democracy is that, with the initiative referendum
and recall, the three foundation stones Of pure
democracy in existence it becomes very easy for
interested persons however few, seriously to affect
legislation upon any subject in which they are
interested, unless means is found to arouse the
electorate as whole.
Without such means democracy will prove to be
as much OF failure autocracy, for if democracy
as a form of government is to be success, and
not it has been in the past, failure, then all
those who are entitled to share. in government
should do So If they do not they should, as Mr..
Daniels says, be required to do So
But how? will be the question Mr. Daniels
suggests partial method for selected classes,
when he proposes that all persons who can not
control their own movements, like soldiers, sailors,
students drummers, railroad men and the like, who
are away from their homes, should be allowed to
vote by nai1. If tflcy do SO, why not any one7 Z
Voting by mail is no more likely to prove
failure or. fraud than any other method. The
ballot be safeguarded in the mails as we'll as in
a box, which is carried about by hand as it is now
A penalty for nonvoting will probably prove
eficacious remedy also. This is now applied
in Belgium In that little kingdom if a.voter does
his duty certain taxes are remitted. If he fails to
vote in three successive elections he is dsfranchsed
and subject to other penalties.
Secretary Daniels is well within bounds when
he said I'VE have come to time in our national
life when the compulsory ballot must be given at
least fair test It is, in fact, an urgent and
pressing need, and should be foremost in any
progressive political program.
