Mrs. Havelocll Ellis, addressing a
Woman Suffrage gathering in New
York City the other day, advanced a
new way of gaining the ballot-by be-
ginning a kissing strike.
IF we women all go on strike and
agreed not to kiss our husbands until
we got the VOTE Mrs. Havelock Ellis
told the members of the Woman Suf-
frage party at As East 34th street yes
terday afternoon, and if we agreed
also not to cook, or wash, or even to
look at our husbands, we would get it
much quicker than by the present
program of destroying art treasures
and golf grounds. All we need to do
is to sit still with our hands in our
pockets and a non committal smile on
our countenances, while we watch the
men running to bring US the vote. Let
us take as our motto, To break hearts
rather than windows"

An anti-cigarette crusade has been
started in Detroit, Mich, on the
strength of the following from Thomas
A. Edison to Henry Ford and it is
strong enough to start such a move
ment in any community. 1t says:
1.-The injurious agent in cigarettes
comes principally from the burning
paper wrapper. The substance thereby
formed is called acrolein. 1t has a vio
lent action on the nerve centres, pro-
ducing degeneration of the cells of the
BRAIN which is quite rapid among boys.
Unlike most narcotics, this degenera-
ton is permanent and uncomfortable.

Returns from the New Tariff.

Our readers may find food for
thought in the following brief editorial
comments from newspaper observers:
The Swiss are capturing the bust
ness of American knitting mills
watertown, IN. " Standard.
No American has profited single
dollar by the reduction in duties; the
foreigners, and the foreigner alone,
gets the benefit of the Tariff reduce
tion.-Philadelphia Ledger.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
reports the local foundry business as
lin wretched shape" So is the ma
chine tool trade, which is one of Gin
cinnatis specialties.-Muncie Qnd.)
Journal.
During the first nineteen weeks of
the new Tariff, cotton goods from
abroad exceeded in value the cor
responding period of year ago by
over 100000. And it should be re-
membered that the valuations were
lower than a year ago.-Muncie Qnd.)
Journal.
According to the philosopher editor
of the Marion Sentinel the 5000 votes
lost to the Democratic party in the
Seventh New Jersey District is ac
counted for by a statement that Demo-
Gratis by the thousand voted the So
cialist ticket. Ye gods! Only one
step from Woodrow Wilson's party to
Socialism. Has it come to that? The
pace is kept up, the campaign of 1916
will be fought out by the Republicans
and Socialists. When it comes to
that, will the Sentinel go Socialist?
The Register dares it to answer
Marion Qa.) Register.
When we import goods from abroad,
instead of manufacturing them at
home, it is evident we are diminishing
employment for our own people. Half
a dozen laborers at the wharf can
handle imported goods which in the
making have given occupation to hun
dreds of skilled workmen. And the
consumer pays the bill in the long run
is bound to do so. The money that
used to go into the many pockets of
our working people now goes into the
few pockets of commission merchants.
That is the one big difference. That
is where the free trade shoe pinches
Gus as the workshop than as the ware
house of the world.-Los Angeles
Times.

Light and Airy
Concerning Congress.

They may cut down the battleships
And build but one a year.
They may cut out the pleasure trips,
Although that would be queer.
They may pronounce a dozen banks
Sufficient for our needs.
But on one subject we are cranks,
We gotta have our seeds.
They NAV omit the maps and charts
That once were tossed about.
The weather bulletins perhaps,
We we'll might do without,
They may refuse to dredge our brooks
And let them choke with weeds.
Put we on this stand pat, gadzooks,
We gotta have our seeds.

Hal Gardner wants a special session
of the Legislature called-if the things
he fatty charges can be proven. The
Lewiston Journal wants a special ses-
sion of the Legislature anyway, be-
lieving that the holding over of the

sheriffs has many times paid for itself.
Now, if the Governor should call an
extra session, we wonder on what
their excuse for lampooning him for 1t.

the purchaser buying short weight
