Helen. But do they have amateur
nights at cabarets?"
Seem to have 'em here, and we've
struck the night" Then turning to
the head waiter, who was standing
back OF their table, How about this
amateur business? Any good?"
Yes, sir; you could hardly get a
table here Thursday nights during
the winter. But it's getting late now

and he hurried off to seat a party Of
four that had just entered.

announced a brisk young man, who
had mounted the raised platform in
front of the orchestra, the first num-

of the diners.
"She is SOME songstress," ended
the announcer with a grin, as a young
woman, in rusty black skirt and
cheap white shirtwaist, mounted the
platform beside him.
In a high nasal voice she began to
shrill popular song. With the second
verse everybody was laughing or
whistling derisively and shutting their
feet.
"Oh, why doesn't she stop" MUIR

That's what she's here for. You
don't think she's a real amateur, do
you?" shifted Warren She's some

The man who did the announcing
stood back of the girl, with a broad
grin and his hands over his ears.
Every now and then he would stoop
to pick up and put in a plate the
small coins the diners threw on the
red-carpeted platform. When the girl
had ended her song, amid loud whis-
ties and shouts, he gave her the
money and bowed her off mockingly.
But surely she gets paid?" asked
Helen she wouldn't make such a
spectacle Of herself for the few dimes
on that plate.
Warren shrugged his shoulders.

PHYSICAL CULTURE
GAINS At EARLHAM
Kelly Cites Statistics to Show
Students Fifty Per Cent
More Healthy.

At the Wednesday morning chapel
exercises, President Kelly spoke on
the campaign for the new gymnasium,
and touched particularly on the value
Of the gymnasium in the conservation
of health of the students, thereby max
ing the school more efficient. He
quoted figures given by the nurse in
charge of the hospital ward at the
college which showed that in the past
two years. sinceehysical culture has
received more attention from the col
lege authorities, the number of hos
pital cases has decreased more than
fifty per cent, and especially is this
true of the young women for whom
physical culture in the Freshman and
Sophomore years has been made COM
pulsory in the last two years.
President Kelly urged the seniors,
who have inaugurated the campaign
for the gymnasium, and the other
students of the college to enter into
the campaign which will soon be def
nitely organized and launched.
Reads Letter.
A letter from Fang Chung, Chinese
student, who is being sent to the uni
versity in Western Wilma by contri-
buttons from Earlham students and
professors, was read by President K.
l.. Kelly The letter, written in En-
glish, told of the studies at the uni
versity, and the outside activities such
as the football game with the Y. M
c. A. team, ending with the terse
statement-"they are beaten by u.s." or
the English club, where the Chinese
students are made to talk only English
and if they break the rule, the letter
says, I'VE fine them some cash." The
letter closed with the expression OF
gratitude on the part of the Chinaman
for the kindness of the Earlham stu
dents.

Spring Campaign in Maine.

There is also a spring campaign in
Maine. The convention is TO be held
on the 9th of next month, only three
weeks distant.
The Progressives will make desper-
ate effort to capture Maine. Col Roose-
welt has promised to make several
speeches in the State and although his
visit will be delayed on account of his
Trip to Madrid to be present at the we'd
ding of his son, he will certainly get
into the campaign before the election
The probabilities are, however, that the
ProgresSives will not find much en-
couragement in the conditions in Maine.
The election of Mr.. Peters, the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress in the
by-election some months ago, was a
significant straw showing the direction
of the political wind, and since then
the farming element in the State has
become still more disgruntled over the
operation of the new tariff law. The
free importation of farm products from
Canada has seriously interfered with the
prosperity of the Maine farmers. The
Republicans hope to carry the State on
the tariff issue. 1t is certain that the
Progressives cannot be successful. The
best-or the worst-that they can do is
to prevent Republicans from being
elected and it is by no means certain
that even this will occur.

Would Bar Suffrage Talk.

To the Editor-I see that the Consum-
er's League is to hold a meeting in this
city on Tuesday next. and before IL Is
held / would like to make a personal
suggestion. Whether right or wrong. the
general feeling among anti-suffragists is
coming to be one of dissatisfaction be-
cause Of the fact that many times thu
question of suffrage Is allowed to come
up at meetings which should be devoted
absolutely to the Humanitarian work of
the Consumers League. This makes ap-
peal TO all women. and should have no
extraneous matter injected into 1t. Over
zeal has sometimes clinched the judg-
ment of the suffrage members and anti
suffragists have resented the introduc-
ton of the disputed question.
1 understand that Miss Constance
Leuppe. president of the Consumers
League in Washington. is in sympathy
with this attitude of non-partisanship.
and a statement to the effect that the
league deprecates any partisan speeches
or measures at its meetings and that
these will not be permitted. would be
hailed with joy by many women who in
dorse the league. but cannot indOrse suf
frage. Very truly yours,
GRACE DUFFIELD GOODWIN.

Other States to Hold Primaries.

The primaries in Oregon and Penn
sylvania are less than two months away
and the campaigns in those States arc
already under full headway. 1t is toe
early, however, to make any definite
prediction as to their outcome.
Full returns from the annual town
meetings in Massachusetts and the
township primaries in Illinois have moi
yet been received and the few figures
at hand do not afford a satisfactory
basis for analysis. 1t is significant
however, that there seems to be grad
ual return to Republican control ir
Massachusetts, towns. although it is ad-
mitted that in the fight for the minor
Offices the element of personality is a
larger factor than party affiliation. In
Illinois the Progressives attempted to
organize in several townships, not 50
much with the expectation of electing
any one as with the view of showing Vi
tality. The Statewide primary will moi
be held until early next fall.
These spring primaries and elections,
together with the fact that a successor
to the late Representative Bremner is
soon to be chosen in New Jersey, are
giving the politicians plenty to think
about. The Republicans are optimistic
regarding the New Jersey Congressional
election because Paterson is a manufac-
turing town and because former Gov
Stokes carried the district last year. The
plurality which Mr.. Bremner received
when he was elected in 1912 was 1900
and this could be overcome if the Pro-
gressites should return to their old
political faith. All parties will make a
strong fight to capture the district. real
izing that the result will have a wide
effect in. influencing voters throughout
the country.

Socialist Vote in Iowa.

One of the primaries held last week
was in. Burlington, Iowa. 1t is a city
of $4,000 or 3o'coo people and normally
Republican. The primary was for the
selection of candidates for mayor and
commissioners and was nonpartisan.
The result was interesting. The larg-
est vote, 1876, was received by w. c,
Cross, Democrat, and his next compet-
itor was Charles H. Schick, a Social
ist, with a vote of 1872. The Republi-
can, Frank Canny, ran third with I,36s
votes. This means that the mayoralty
contest will be between Democrat and
a Socialist. More than this, two So
cialist candidates for commissionership
positions received substantial support
1t is not likely that the Socialist mayor
will be elected. In similar condition
which once before confronted the people
of Burlington they united against the
Socialist and defeated him and the same
course is likely to be pursued this year.
At the same time this result of the
Burlington primary is another illus
tration of the fact that the Socialist
party will eventually have to be rcck-
oned with as a political element in this
country. Its activity is unceasing and
it is gaining strength all the time.
The spring primaries in Iowa will not
be held until June ?, but the campaign
is now in active progress. Senator
Cummins will undoubtedly be renomi-
mated by the Republicans, but his cleo
ton will depend upon his ability to
command at least large proportion of
the Republican vote The Progressive
party is not as cohesive as it was in
1912 and many of its members are fully
alive to the fact that continued division
means the election of Democratic SEN
ator. One of the incidents OF the CAM
paign is the fact that Representative
Prouty is a candidate for one of the
Supreme Court judgeships. As he is
certain to be nominated and as the ju-
dicial ticket is nonpartisan, he stands an
excellent chance of election, especially
as he is we'll known and highly respect
ed throughout the State for his legal
ability.

Situation in South Dakota.

The Statewide primary i'll South Da-
koia next Tuesday naturally attracts
first attention. The primaries in that
State used to be held in June, but as
the farmers were all busy at that time
the date was advanced so as to precede
the spring plowing. 1t is possible, by
the way, that the primaries in Iowa, now
set for June ?, may be changed in the
future. Experience has shown that not
40 per cent of the vote is polled at the
June primaries, owing to the fact that
the farmers will not leave the fields, and
it has frequently happened that the en-
tire vote of precinct would be cast by
the five primary election officials who
were compelled to be present.
The situation in South Dakota is
somewhat mixed and Clifford Pinchot,
Publicity Agent Davis, and other Pro-
gressivc managers went out to the State
last week in order to confer with their
fellow -Progressives. Under the South
Dakota primary law a proposal commit
tee OF each party nominates a candi-
date, but the majority and minority
factions are each allowed to name their
men. While there is no distinct Pro-
gressive organization in South Dakota,
the progressive Republicans are in con-
troll, and, being the majority faction of
the party, have nominated Senator
Crawford for reelection. The stand
pat or old-line Republicans have Sc
lccted Representative Burke as their
candidate. The contest between these
Two factions has been bitter, but it is
said that Senator Crawford probably
will be renominated. OF the three Con-
gressmen from the State, only Mr.. Dill
lon is seeking reelection. Representa-
i've Burke will either win the Senator
ship or go out of politics, while Repre-
sentative Martin has been seriously i'll
ST. Louis hospital for some months.
But the primary is only half the bat
lie. The election will follow and its
result is largely matter of doubt. The
Republicans in South Dakota, unlike
their colleagues in other States, have
endeavored to keep together and thus
prevent their State from passing into
Democratic control They were not,
however, able to save the electoral vote
in 1912 and they may not be able to
retain Senator Crawford. Should there
be anything like serious split in the
party, either as the result of the Craw-
ford-Burke contest or because of the
activities of the Progressive leaders in
cndcavoring to form a third party, the
Democratic candidate for the Senate

POLITICAL SITUATION.

The spring elections are at hand Last
week there were township primaries
throughout Illinois, town meetings are
in progress in Massachusetts,, city pri-
maries have already occurred in Iowa,
and next Tuesday, the 18th, State
wide primary is to be held in South Da-
kota to nominate Senator, Representa-
lives, and State officers.
The politicians are keeping close watch
upon these spring primaries and cleo
tions, hoping thereby to get some Indi-
cation of the trend of popular senti-
ment. There is so much at stake this
vear-an entire House of Representa-
tiyes and thirty-one Senators to be
be elected-that it is important to know
exactly what the people are thinking
about and what they propose to do. AS
soon as it can be determined what IS
uppermost in the public mind the lead
crs in Congress will begin to manufac-
ture campaign material to meet the is
sue. The Democrats and Progresslves
have already anticipated the future to
some extent by speeches containing bril-
liant word-pictures of the accomplish
ments of the administration, on the one
hand, and the glorious promises OF the
Progressive policies, on the other hand
The Republicans are not so active. They
seem to lack leadership and inspiration.
Representative Mann, of Illinois, the
minority leader, is always on the alert
to trip his political opponents in debate,
and Representative Humphrey, OF
Washington, who seems TO be the only
member of his party possessing the in
stinct of attack, is dealing sledge-ham-
mer blows upon the Democratic admin
istration. 1t may be that eventually the
Republicans will find some one to instill
the old-time fighting spirit into their or
ganization. At present they are drift
ing like ship without rudder.
