OF the most bitter political campaigns
In the history of Sweden, polling be.
gan today for members of the new
lower house Of the rikstag to replace
that dissolved on March 6. as the re-

The parliamentary leading section
was precipitated on Feb. 8. when
King Gustav, addressing q delegation
of 10000 peasants and landowners.
organized by the conservatives, ex.
pressed his own views regarding in.
crease of armaments As these were
far In excess OF the program formu-

late lower house was 100 or more.

Will Women Help Cotton!

The announcement that the Southern
society Of New York will give a ball at
the Waldorf-AstOria on November Z to
augment a fund for the relief OF South
erncrs in need and to increase the popu-
larity OF cotton fabrics again brings to
attention the fact that apparently the
women Of the South are less disposed to
promote popularity OF cotton fabrics than
arc those of other parts OF the country.
1t is within the power of the women,
and especially of those who move in the
to give to the movement to increase the
use OF cotton cloth considerable weight
and Importance.
Frankly, we have no great faith that
they will do their part. We doubt il the
great body Of society women will take up
this or any other industrial and CONNER
cial question, however grave II may be-
seriously. While many more women are
interesting themselves now than former
ly in social and political questions, they
are not in the South numerous by COM
parisOn with the whole sisterhood. We
wish II were otherwise.
A demonstration on the part Of the
Southern women that they can concen-
trate their influence and direct it to the
happy solution of a critical and harassing
economic problem. apart from its imme-
diate and substantial value. would go far
to improve the position of women in rela-
ton to public afIairs.-Columbia Is. c.
