The Chicago Election.

Here are a few facts worth re-
Numbering in connection with the
Chicago election on the 7th of April
First. That, out of 516,292 w.o-
men qualified to register only 217,-
GA registered, and, of these, only
163,852 voted.
Second. That all of the women
candidates for alderman were de-
feated
Third. That there were only six
wards out of thirty-five in which
the women's vote affected the re-
suit. These were the 18th, 18th,
18th, 21st, 9th and 2Sth. In all
OF the other wards, the successful
candidates would have been elected
if no women had voted.
Fourth. The spectacular attempt
to depose the notorious Bathhouse
John in the First Ward was a
gloomy failure. He was reelected
by plurality of more than 1000.
Fifth. More women voted fol
Bathhouse John than against him
He would have been reelected by
women's votes if every man in the
wand had stayed away from the
polls.
The Woman's Journal of March
% declared confidently, "Womer
voters will hold the balance Of
| power in every ward in Chicago a
| the abdermanic elections of Apri
Z, and the city is deeply impressed

/ QUESTION HARD

Many Men Believe Il Candidate In

port, But Give it on The Ground
OF Party Regularity.

Many a voter, in all parties, is
troubled by the question OF how
great is the allegiance which he
owes to the party in the principles
of which he believes. Many such
persons, raIlying to the cry of"Par-
" Regularity support from time
TO time men whom they believe to
be unworthy Of the positions fog
which they are candidates. IL
sometimes happens that men who
have violated the principles of thend
lie careers, when there has been
contest between the people whom
they represented and the 'privi-
lege' class, which was seeking to
encroach upon the rights of the,
people, who have worked and voted
against attempts to make needed re-
form, come before the people and
with the claim of having been Loyal
public servants, seek additional
honors to those they have already
had.
In addition to bad records upon|
the question of voting against lths(
peoples interests, sometimes
men have such regulations in h /
private lives as 10 makes

Under circumstances of
character almost every man
nent in public life today has std
that no man who knows and be-
lieyes these facts is justified in
voting for such men. All big, broad
minded men of all parties are
agreed that a mans first duty is
to protect the sanctity of his home
and the morals of his community
and that where the moral ques-
ton arises, men must vote for
the right, regardless of politics, be-
cause any other course is an en-
dorsement of immortality and wrong
doing.

Spit-LOg Drag

How to Use a Drag.

The successful operation of drag
involves two principles. The first
concerns the length and position of
the hitch, while the second deals
with the position of the driver on the
drag. Each influences the other to
large extent, and successful manip-
ulation of the drag is dependent upon
an understanding of both of them.
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link or clevis should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end of the
chain to force the unloaded drag to
follow the team at an angle of As
degrees. This will cause the earth
to move along the face of the drag
smoothly and will give comparatively
light draft to the team, provided the
driver rides in the line of draft.
THE distance fro mthe drag at
which the team is hitched affects the
depth of the cutting. Shortening
the chain tends to lift the front slab
from the ground; a longer hitch
causes the blade to cut more deeply
The length of hitch may be regulated
by lengthening and shortening the
chain at the end which runs through
the hole in the blade end of the drag.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road.
The object of the drag is to move
earth toward the center of the road
way and to raise it gradually above
the surrounding level. While this
is being accomplished all mud holes
and ruts will be filled, in which traf-
fic will pack the fresh earth.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky.
Use of Drag on Rocky or GrayeIIy
Roads.
In soils full of loose stones oil
even small powders the drag does
good service. The loose stones are
drawn into windrow down the cen.
ter of the raod while the earth Is
deposited around the powders In
such way that the surface is lev.
eled.
The approximate cost of a split
log drag, labor and material is about
SO; the cost for dragging one mile
going over several times, team ant
driver, is just what you will make II
from 81 up, depending on the mum
Der of times requires to go over the
rough road.
The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of a road drag may
be summarized as follows:
Il. The maintenance of smooth
servlceable earth road free from rut.
and mud holes.
"2. Obtaining such a road surfac,
with the expenditure OF very littl,
money and labor in comparison will
