DOES 1T PAY TO "HARP?"
A Writer In The Kansas City Star
Says He Thinks 1t Does.

To The Star: A man said to me
the other day: "The Star is always
harping on something-some reform.
| wonder sometimes if they'll ever
get anywhere with it."
We were talking in my library. /
took from shelf "The Making Of an
American" by Jacob Riis, the newspa-
per writer who spent years and
years making New York a better
place to live in. From the book / read
this:
"No chance was ever allowed to pass
of telling the people what they were
harboring (police controlled chari-
ties.) They simply needed to know, l
felt sure of that. And / know now
that was right. But it takes lot of
telling to make city know when it is
doing wrong. However, that was what
l was there for.
"When it didn't seem to help would
90 and look at stone cutter hammer
| ing away at his rock perhaps hum
dred times without as much as crack
showing in it. Yet at the hundred and
one blow it would split in two, and l
knew it was not that blow that did it,
but all that had gone before together.
"When my fellow workers smiled, |
used to remind them of the Israelites
that marched seven times around
Jericho and blew their horns before
the walls fell.
"Well, you go ahead and blow
yours they said, you have the
faith
Sand | did, and the walls did fall
though it took nearly twice seven
years. But they came down, as the
walls of ignorance and indifference
must every time, if you blow hare
enough and long enough, with faith il
your course and in your fellow man. Il
is just question of endurance. i
you keep it up, they can't.
Then pointed to the parks, th'
boulevards, the rock roads, the cit.
welfare system, the new station, tn
federal reserve bank and lot of othe
good things for which we owe largel,
The Star. (My friend hasn't bee
here long enough to know that.)
"How long did The Star harp be
fore these reforms camel" he asked.
"Well, The Star is only about 8
years DID," l answered.

WAR IN MEXICO
Ell PASO, Tex, Sept. %.

Eli IAoOJ Lex, DePI' HH'
Rumblings from the crater of Mex
lean politics are heard in Northern
Mexico and in spite of the muffler of
denials thrown out by officials Gen
eral Villas invasion of Sonora points
to new revolution. Everything seems
to verify the report that the Presi-
dent has broken with rebel general
because he is alleged to have repudi-
ated his promise for representation
for troops at the coming election. Both
sides refuse to discuss the rumors.
Villas secretary, Aguirre Benavi-
des, denied reports that Gen. obregon
had been imprisoned or had an es-
arrangement with Gen. Villa.
Persons who were witnesses of the
trouble at Chihuahua City last Friday,
however, declared Villa had placed Oh
RECON under arrest, threatening to
shoot him and all members of his
staff, but later had altered his YER
dict. The trouble arose, they said
over the invasion of Sonora, Obre'
gon's native State.
Obregon recently has been acting
as mediary between Carranza ant
Villa. He is commander of thu

OLD FoSk BALLOT


Under the new election law the old
form of the blanket ballot will be
used. There are Il \ tickets to be vot-
ed oS This fan and allowing the prop
er space between each ticket, the bal
lot to be voted on will be about as
large as page Of this paper.
1t will be necessary for the print
er who prints the tickets to stop his
presses six times and make up his
forms as the law provides that the
tickets must alternate in their posi-
tions on the ballots equally, that is to
say, the Democratic ticket cannot
have first position on all the ballots,
but only on one-sixth of them.
Under the primary law in Missouri
ticket may be scratched but name
cannot be written from one ticket to
another as this would make mutilat-
cd ballot, but under the general cleo
tion laws in which the blanket ballot
may be used, voter may scratch any
name on the ticket he is voting and
write in any name he chooses.
Voters are advised that if they in
tend to vote the Democratic ticket
they must draw heavy line through
the five other tickets on the ballots,
if this is not done no ballot has been
cast and it will be thrown out and
mot counted. Under the old Austral-
ian system, once in vogue in Mis-
souri,, many voters made the mistake,
when they intended to vote the
straight Democratic ticket of simply
folding the ballot and handing it to
the counting judge. Be careful OF
this error in November and be sure
and draw a heavy line through the
other tickets.
The constitutional amendments ant
other matters submitted under the in
tiative and referendum, to the mum
ber of fifteen propositions, will b.
printed on separate ballot and i
will also be about as large as tw'
pages of the ordinary paper.

ALONG the line of equal suffrage,
the following story is told in the
Kansas City Times regarding Will
Irwin, of New York:
"No one has asked just when it
was that Irwin determined that
women should have the ballot. But
a story he tells of the night of the
Triangle fire, when the lives of las
girls were lost, may account for his
activity from that date.
az heard that night said Irwin,
the walls of those who were looking
for those they had lost-a sound l
shall never forget. During the night
| met a grating politician.
"'Those girls didn't have chance
to get out said the politician. Men
might have got down those fire es-
capes, but women never could
"' So the fire laws are made to
protect men and not women?' asked
Irwin. The other nodded.
Women said he, 'ain't got nc
votes.'"
