HOW WILL THE COUNTY
VOTE NEXT NOVEMBER?

A lot of figuring is being done on
the election probabilities just now
while folks are waiting for the snow
to melt.
In 1912 Wilson received 2182
votes, Roosevelt 1897, Taft 988, to-
tai SLOT. Hodges received $500,
Capper 2446, total 5O31. The COM
bined Republican and Progressive
vote on president was 1925, Demo-
cratic 2182. But a presidential year
always brings big vote. In 1910
Stubs had zoos, Hodges 2135, to-
tai 4240. about the usual off-year
vote. This year there is the woman
vote to consider. In city elections
1t is always much smaller than the
mems vote though there are as
many women voters as men. If
three fourths of the women vote
Dickinson will cast about 1000
votes. 1t is probable that the women
votes will be divided about as are
the mems. There will again be
three state tickets, Republican, DEM
ocratic and Progressive. How will it
come out? Get your pencil and see
If you can figure it.

WIRE SERVICE RECEIVERS
FROM STORMS DAMAGE

Wire communication with other
towns is somewhat better today. The
United Telephone company has
wires open to Elmo, Herington, En-
terprise, Hope and other places in
this county, and can talk to Ben
nington, Niles, Solomon and Salina,
although not over their own wires
all of the way.
The rural mail carriers went out
on their routes but not all could
make the entire delivery. Drifts on
the east and west roads will hinder
mail delivery for some time.
The Postal Telegraph company
now has wire open to Kansas City.
The Union Pacific has no better SER
vice than yesterday, a wire east, but
none west.

MAY ABANDON THE
FIFTH DISTRICT TOURNEY
The Standing

Abilene will close the basketball
season probably the latter part of
the week. So far efforts to schedule
the doubleheader with Chapman
for the boys and girls teams have
failed. Following the final games
an interclass tournament will be
played.
From present indications the
Fifth district basketball tourna-
ment, scheduled to be played at
Salina March 6 and 7, will be aban-
doned this year. Few of the high
schools in the district have been en-
thusiastic over the tourney and
number that were expected to enter
have dropped from the competition.
No definite decision has been made.

ABILENE SHOE DEALERS
ATTEND Topeka MEETING

Ward Davis left this morning fol-
Topeka to attend the three-day ses-
sion of the Kansas Shoe Retailers
association. which began this morn
ing. J. A. Kaufman expects to go
to Topeka tomorrow. The shoe
mems organization is live one, and
their remarks on the pure shoe law
that becomes effective April 1 will
be interesting.
The retail shoe men declare that
the new law is joke. Under the
new law, no retailer can sell shoes
that are not pure leather unless
each shoe is so marked. Compare
lively few shoes now are pure
leather, the shoe men say, and these
are the cheaper grades. The fibre
and the composition heels now used
in the manufacture of shoes are bet
ter than the pure leather and the
new law will result, if it has any
effect at all, in poorer shoes. Be-
sides, how is a dealer to ksow
whether or not the shoes he has are
pure leather or not? One Abilene
dealer says that the only way re-
taller can know is to cut the shoes
to pieces. 1t is expected that the
Kansas retailers will unite to fight
the law, and that test case will
follow.

1t may be only a coincidence, but

be attributed to the failure of the

Naturally, therefore, all the
men and women everywhere who
profit out of these things are
at one in objecting to the plays
and performances which expose
them. This we can understand.
What is also clear is that men
and women who have no profit in
such evil, but, while themselves
entirely honest persons, have per-
suaded themselves that the toll
Grafton of vice is necessary in
our cities, or, more probably, have
accepted without thought this
doctrine from a past generation,
and can sit through the average
vaudeville suggestiveness with
out discomfort, Join in opposition
to the policy of letting in the
light. They are consistent with
themselves.
It Is perfectly consistent for an
honest police official to tolerate a
segregated district and censor a
play which attacks it. No dis
honor is involved Such an Of
fetal only stands for the con-
sistency of folly.
Some few men. and fewer wo-
men, whose lives have been de-
voted to this warfare against
wrong, unite with the others in
an attempt to censor a perform
ance which would bring to the
light the evils they are fighting.
Some of these censors have
grown old. Some, like Anthony
Comstock, have grown extreme
ly tiresome.
And some have not vet caught
the inspiration of the new age
which is upon us. They need
time. There is plenty of time
And in time the men and women
who were brought up to believe
that you can not touch pitch
without being defiled" will learn
that innocence is the gift of God
which enables His children to
touch pitch without being de-
filed, when it is encountered in
the path of duty. The consist
ency of goodness will triumph
over the consistency of folly.
