\ SUGGESTION.

Sometime in the future. perhaps
presently. the public comfort station
is to be completed. 1t seems almost
incredible, but is probably true. IL
is also probable that when the weather
moderates the wall surrounding the
grounds OF the county building will
be occupied by the more or less vol
unfairly idle.
The association of ideas is that with
the coping OF the wall occupied 10y a
row or curious and not over consid-
crate people it is going 10 be embar-
RAISING for anybody but a man TO
enter the station. The subject is
preached al this time in order that if
any precautionary action should be
deemed necessary il may be taken be-
fore the station is opened

place TO stand or sit, but it would seem
the proprieties dictate some other than
the old rendezvous. There are plenty

THE FREIGHT MONOPOLY.

IF the American people were not sick
of subsidies before the revelations Of
the commerce commission investiga-
ton should make them so. From the
testimony heard two strangely asso-
ciated facts are learned.
The government has expended $117,-
46S,9sS for the Improvement of navi-
cation on the great lakes in order that
the people might have the benefit OF
water competition with rail lines, and
the trunk lines OF railroad have a
monopoly of package shipping on the
lakes Thus the government has been
indirectly substituting the railroads and
aiding them to defeat its purpose to
give the people competition.
The same thing will happen if the
free tolls clause OF the Panama canal
bill is not repealed. If the railroads
do not now control all OF the coast
wise shipping of the United States they
viii quickly gain that control and de-
feat all efforts 20 maintain competi-
ton. The American people will no
longer stand for subsidies that line
the Golfers OF railroad corporations.
The lake carriers, il was shown,
have received a raise Of thirty-five per
cent in package rates and the govern
ment Is annually spending $1,000, 600
10 maintain the right OF way the rail-
lake combination uses free of cost.

The influence OF equal suffrage was
the most interesting and significant
factor in the Illinois elections on Tues
day. 1t was the one thing most
eagerly scanned by newspaper readers
the following morning. To degree
the result was 10 decide the question
as 20 the attitude of women generally
toward the use OF tha franchise and
existing institutions which they were
expected 90 antagonize.
The showing made was at once a
disappointment and confirmation Of
anticipation In Chicago. where the
women had an opportunity TO turn the
city over with "a registered vote OF
217614 they cast only forty-three per
cent Of H. their Indifference exceeding
that Of the men. who cast fifty-three
per cent OF their 455.2S3 registered
votes. They did not support the women
candidates for aldermen. but they did
help 10 eliminate some OF the unde-
sirables.
1t wss a peculiar phase OF the wom-

GOLDEN SILENCE.

Now that they've had their fling at
almost every phase OF married life, and
single life. too. for that matter. the
wise men and women OF the east mink
they have found a way TO counteract
the evil influences that tend TO mar
matrimony. A Boston writer suggests
that the stupid" and silent" mo-
ments of wedlock may be avoided if
he" or she" hikes away somewhere,
alone, on a vacation.
Stupid and silent moments! Can't a
man and a woman sit together in love
or deepest friendship. without talk
ing al the time? Surely there are
times when both husband and wife
want to think about things which may
be OF greatest importance to them per-
sonally but which might not make in
teresting conversation.
OF course. there are silent mo-
ments' after row, for instance, which
should not be allowed 10 multiply. But
the silence prevailing when the two
are reading, maybe, or one is reading.
the other mentally planning for the
future-that is a golden silence, the
appreciation Of which makes matri-
mony more beautiful. IL does not
make the silent hours Of married life
look brassy
When they feel like running away
from each other because "the man is
deteriorating sadly under continuous
inspection. or the woman's lustre is
reduced because of lack of com
panions", as the Boston writer says
they do. they should remember the
chorus OF that old-fashioned song:
Holding hand. holding hands.
The clock strikes twelve in the hall;
And all the time you sit there,
You don't say nothin' at all

Representative Henry Nollmer a
newly arrived member of congress
from Iowa, was in public life here
in Washington on a previous occa-
sion-some ? years ago. That time
he was distributing clerk in the
house. a position that carried with IL
such duties as jabbing the various
bills into proper pigeon holes. 1t was
not so OnerOus a position in those
DAYS that one didn't have time for
other things. and Vollmer used TO sit
and listen TO the debates by the hour,
dreaming Of the time when he, too.
would place remarks in the Congress
sional Record.

over 10 the house by his colleague.

GRADUALLY THE DOOR OPENS.

GRADUALLY THE DUR OIENo.
Secrecy has long been one of the
most potent instruments of unrepre-
sentative government. Secret eau
cuses and executive sessions have
cloaked the motives and the designs
of legislators who have not scrupled
TO undo the peoples will or render
pugatOry the pledges of party plat
forms. The fight that impends in the
United States senate to abolish the
executive sessions of that body Is
symptomatic of the new spirit that
prevails in the country spirit that
is insistent and will not be denied.
There is a demand for publicity on
all legislative proceedings not because
the public is inquisitive, but because it
feels that only by publicity can 1t cir
cumvent the men and the influence
that, in the past, have had so large
and SO sudversive a power on the
course of government. Few subjects OF
legislative elaboration are so sacred or
so delicate that they can not be dis
cussed in the open. 1t is true that
treaties are excepted in the Kenyon
resolution because OF international
EN- barrassments that might arise if a
complete report of the debates were
published. But il is possible, in view
of a certain recent and notable eX-
ample, that even treaties might be
better drawn if subjected to publicity
in their formative period.
Senators Clapp and PoindeXter, pro-
gressives are among the small group
who have signified their intention of
discussing freely for the public's infOr-
nation the executive session debates
on the confirmation of presidential
nominees. The stand Of these two SEN
ators is illustrative OF the progressive
point of view throughout. The move
ment toward publicity in the senate
found its inspiration in the new party 5
attitude toward all secrecy.
What, indeed. is more essential than
that federal appOintees and their
qualifications should be known to the
people? Publicity in such a respect
/ is the most powerful corrective of the
! tendency that always manifests itself,

STATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
BY FRED C. KELLY.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Repre-
sentative Simeon ID. Tess of Ohio,
who is one of the scholars of con-
gress, owes much of his success in
life to the fact that the limbs of a
certain tree back home grew in just
the shape they did.
Tess was raised on a farm, and as
his father died when he was small. a
great deal of work fell 10 his lot. But
the more he worked the more he de-
sired time to read. Whenever he was
able to save a dollar or two he spent
the money for books. Whereupon
his brothers would jump all over
him, inquiring:
What good will the books do you
after you get them?"
All his relatives and friends ad-
vised him to try to forget his frivol-
Gus ways and stick to work. Every
time they caught him reading, they
cited cases of boys who had idled
away their time over books as he was
doing. and grew up TO be poets, paup-
ers and dressmakers' husbands.
Tess then tried to read in secret,
but there was not place in the house
or barn where he could be alone. In
variably somebody discovered him
and forced him 10 go from Milton to
milking.

a REAL TRAGEDY.

The fallibility of courts and juries
is to be proved if Detective Burns
succeeds in establishing the innocence
of Leo NJ. Frank by proving the re-
sponsibility Of another person for the
death Of Mary Phagan. the Atlanta
factory girl. Detective Burns has
gone this far. He says the murder
was committed by a pervert and that
Frank is not a pervert.
In Difference to the possibility of
establishing Franks innocence and
indirectly to the great detective, pro-
ceedings against Frank have come 10
a standstill. The man has been con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sentenced TO death. The evil
dence against Frank was so conclu
sive the jury did not hesitate TO inf1ict
the extreme penalty, but his. lawyers
we're confident of his innocence and
they employed Detective Burns to un-
tangle the web that has been woven
about their client by circumstances
and perjury.
Stranger tragedies are enacted in
real lie tnan are portrayed on the
stage or written in books of fiction.
The plot against Frank, il such plot
exists, was we'll laid and consistently
sustained. He was accused Of the
murder by James Conley. a Negro,
and the accusation was supported by
the testimony of girl, Monteen Sto-
yer, who was the principal witness for
the state. New evidence is always
sufficient ground on which TO grant a
new trial and that is what Frank s
counsel believe Burns has found,
The detective predicates his case on
the conviction that the murder was
committed by a pervert. Specialists
have made a thorough examination OF
Frank and found him a normal man.
Now they propose to examine the Ne
gro, ConleN, TO determine whether he
is normal or a pervert. and the de
tective says he has evidence which
will disprove the story told on the
stand by the Slower girl. A girl has
been murdered. a mans life is at
stake Justice should prevail
