Literature IN Our Homes.

No one enjoys reading more than
women do; intact, we are told that If
women who are not genuinely fond of
reading many papers could not exist.
But ofttimes they must wait until the
quiet of the day, when Others are
asleep, before they can read. If it were
not for books, magazines and papers,
women would be denied many pleas
urable moments, since they can learn
what the other half Of the world is
doing, though they must remain at
home If we were all suddenly denied
the delights of the press, we would feel
poor indeed, even with every other
blessing. Many women who love travel
never get beyond their own home
boundary. But who can hold the spirit
that follows the traveller in books?
We can shackle the body, but not the
heart, and soul, of woman who
reaches out for facts concerning the
world in which she lives. Given good
books, women who are privileged, or
await an opportunity to read, are less
lonely and those who do not know the
blessings of good literature. Books
and papers are an outlet to new
world, and while this world has it's
limitations, the woman who really and
truly enjoys literature is happy in any
humble little nook, if she can sit and
follow the lives of others in the I'M
known world around her.

doesn't and shouldn't foreclose a
third term. Why not exercise the
same judgment and sense in the Sc
lection of public officials that rail-
roads and other business institutions
exercise in choosing managers and
Ulcers for responsible positions?
The official vote of Polk county,
announced day or two ago, demon
strates that the whisky interests
and the anti-saloon leag que were quite
well united on the gubernatorial is
sue and the result shows that both
largely supported Clarke. AS shown
by saloon consent petitions in Des
Moines, sentiment is nearly equally
divided for and against the saloon.
This fact is also demonstrated by the
vote for the nomination of lieuten-
ant governor. Barber was the anti
saloon league candidate and Hard
ing was branded wet by that organ
ization. At the primary Barber re-
ceived 3,O15 votes and Harding re-
ceived 3,409. Gov. Clarke was put
in the dry column by the league
while Judge Lee was classified as
wet. 1t appears, however, that the
liquor interests of Des Moines are
satisfied with Clarke, as their sup
port was given largely to the COVER
nor, they joining hands with the
anti-saloon league. Clarke received
in Polk county 6,7S1, while Lee re-
ceived only 1898. Perhaps the gen.
tlemen who are engineering the an
ti-saloon league can explain how it
happens that the whisky interests of
Des Moines and the league get so
nearly together when it comes to
the nomination of a candidate for
governor,
