do NOT TELL ALL YOU KNOW
Once three Germans who could not
understand word of English went
down town that they might learn
this language. 1t was on Saturday.
the streets were crowded with people
so they had a good chance to hear
plenty of talk. The first German
heard man say ''us three men, and
kept repeating it TO himself that he
might not forget it. The second one,
in like manner heard ''for thirty
cents and memorized that express
sion, while the third one was struck
with 1.-The sooner the better" and
committed that to memory.
Busily repeating these words to
themselves that they might not for
get any CT them they came to place
where an injured man lay apparently
dead. They stopped to see if they
could help in any way. Just then
policeman came up and asked '.Who
hurt this man?'hThe German replied
ssuS three men," The policeman sur
prised exclaimed: ''What did you do
it for?" and the other German wish
ing to show off his knowledge of the
English language replied: ''For thirty
cents" Then" said the policeman,
Il suppose l shall have to put you
three fellows in Jail, and the third
man replied promptly, 1.-The sooner
the BETTER
These three men knew no better
but you, who know better, take this

Ii, being ''a woman, wife and
mother" is good political capital
why is it not equally desirable that a
candidate be "a man, husband and
father? Sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander'i and s'good rules
work botn ways However, it is not
good rule to elect candidates be-
cause of their domestic status or
desire to render efficient service should
govern in the selection of public
servants.
l am inclined to think that no boy
or girl should be allowed to become a
voter until he or she has completed
the common school and has received
diploma or certificate as evidence of
the fact, and L probably would make
no exceptions unless it might be on
account of such physical defects as
would or should preclude continued
study. Voting should be matter of
brains bull strength.
An educational test for voters
would not work hardship on the
children of foreign-born parents, it
seems, as it is said that statistics
show that such children are more
thorough in securing an education
than the children of native parents
Probably they and their parents more
thoroughly realize the need of school
ing.
Mrs. Gordon Mckenzie, native
born California woman, >.haS been
denied the right of suffrage by the
supreme court of that state, on the
theory that by her marriage to an
alien she became an alien, herself,
and she now appeals to the United
States Supreme Court for settle
ment of the question. Possibly a de-
cision by that tribunal will open the
gate for quite a number of Kansas
women. 1t is also possible that the
decision may lock the door, insteod,
or the court may refuse to take
jurisdiction of the question and leave
the matter to the several states.

HURLS A Def AT
WEATHER BUREAU
S. G. Braganza de la Coralla,
Port Byron, Offers Long
Range Forecasts.
ASKS PUBLIC TO WITNESS
Says He Is the Only One Who Has
Definitely Solved Science OF
Meteoroiosy.

6. c. Braganza de Ia Ccralla, the
Port Byron meteorological expert, has
been for a long time trying TO get the
attention of the United States weather
bureau by means OF a challenge to try
out his system OF long range forecast
ing and compare results with the
bureaus work Having failed thus far
10 gain official recognition, under date
OF July 10 he now writes The Argus,
making predictions which he expresses
confidence will be fulfilled.
After noting the need of rain and
paying his respects to the weather
bureau and the system under which it
operates in no uncertain terms the
Port Byr9n scientist says:
The Newborn science of meteorol-
ogy. Of which / am the exponent and
champion, offers bright prospects to
aEric1lturists everywhere in the
world. The bright sun OF pure science
IS gliding the hilltops in whose valleys
the dense veil Of meteorological fog
and noxiOus vapors obscure the bright
rays OF enlightened knowledge.
Il proclaim myself the first and only
scientist since time began on this
round orb of ours who has fathomed
the StEItLS VI the cause OF
future as well as past I am enabled,
then, 10 predict their approach with
a close degree of accuracy far ahead
of the best efforts of any weather bu-
reau controlled by government. .. Z"
ITO me alone is known the imme-
diate cause and approach of the dark
frowning tempest which weather men
denominate a barometric depression
and mark il as a low on their maps
when Geographic weather gossip a few
Gays II advance advises them of its
presence.
Offers Proof
ITO give logical expression and force
10 my theory here suggested and to
prove the superiority of my new me-
neurological discoveries fraught with
momentous consequences TO humani-
tartan interests, I will hereby reduce
my theories 10 practical illustration
and challenge meteorologists of repute
in America. England. France and Ger
many to compete with me in accuracy
OF lOlg-range forecasting which will
insure practical weather results
Il will travel at my own expense to
Washington, London or Paris to dis
cuss with weather bureau chiefs the
superiority Of my system over theirs
and reinforce my arguments with
practical long-range predictions.
The supreme. crucial test of any
theory is the ability to produce results
consonant with that theory. Here are
the. proofs:

II is the proud boast OF the Pre-
emption Orangemen that the weather
has never been so unkind TO them as
to prevent the holding of their annual
picnic. There has never in the 81
years they have been celebrating the
anniversary of the battle OF the Boyne,
been a July II or II, if the 18th fell
on Sunday, when there has been an
all day rain or other meteorological
condition which has made 1t necessary
to entirely dispense with the picnic.
Saturdays outing was held on the
hottest day of the year and there was
much discomfort, but thousands were
on hand nevertheless and the day was
one of enjoyment for old and young.
II was a field day for candidates
from two counties. Nearly all the
numerous aspirants for county and
other Offices at the fall election were
on hand and thu number of campaign
handshakes and the cards distributed
ran up into six figures.
The program was carried out with
out hitch and the best of order pre-
vailed throughout the day. The speak
ers received close attention, the
amusement concessions were well
patronized and the refreshment
stands were sold out. especially in the
matter OF soft drinks and that makes
a success OF any picnic.
