WHERE THE OFFICERS STAND.

Aside from the Importance of sever
al cases disposed of at the present
term Of Superior court, the proceed
angs have been interesting for the
reason that a large volume Of court
business has been transacted as Will
be seen from records published in the
current issue of the Democrat n
that of last week.
There have been many submissions
and those who didn't submit haven't
had n easy road to travel, for Solicit
tor Schenck has been going after the
defendants with relentless vigor, n
it will. not be amiss here to say h q
people are taking notice of these facts
and giving in their daily comments due
credit to Solicitor Schenck for his
worthy efforts toward cleaning up the
l~aw-breaking element of this COM
munfty. A winter sentence on the
Henderson county roads is not calcu-
Hated to add to the criminal inclina-
ton of a number Of undesirables
around He~ndersonyille.
That there should be SO many cases
in court shows that the officers have
not been sleeping on the job. While
many Of the cases are old ones Others

The city is in the act Of passing an
ordinance which will make it a misde-
meanor for consumers Of city water to
continue using same after having re
ceived notice t the effect that water
service charges for the previous month
have not been paid, making such per-
sons firms, or corporations subject to
q fine of $50. That sounds sensible,
very sensible, but would the fines be
imposed? There is no fighting around
the fact that there are water-consum-
er crooks just the same as other ordi-
nary mountaineering crooks and there
is no more reason why they should use
water at the expense of the city than
nse produce and clothing at the ex-
pense OF the merchants. We are all
too lenient with this class of good for

would like to see the city of Hender

little sensible initiative in this respect.

EFFECT Of WONEN'S
VOTE IS Reviewed
Better Laws and Greater
Use Of Franchise by Men
Declared TO Result
REFORM LAWS
IN CALIFORNIA

WASHINGTON. March PA review
Of the recent elections in states where
women had the ballot has been issued
by the National Womans Suffrage AS
sociation.
This summary, prepared by Mrs,
Laura PunCr Morgan, was made pub
lie TO influence sentiment in States
where the voters will be called upon
TO vote on suffrage amendments The
purpose is TO show that women are
willing TO use the franchise and em-
ploycd il for the betterment of living
and working conditions.
The survey in part is:
California pOilod The heaviest vote
of its history. according 10 the re-
turns. Out of registration OF l.2l9.-
345, total vote of 96l,647. or 20 per
cent was pollod
The experience of California. since
the equal suffrage amendment was
passed tends to show that more men
register after women are given the
vote than i'm previous years.
In Chicago the women point with
pride 10 the number who registered
and voted in the November elections.
even though they have no voice in
the most important offices TO be filled.
Out of 166,277 women registered. 123,-
500 voted. which Is IS per cent. of the
registration. In April. when they vot-
cd for all the important measures,
the vote was more than 10000 The
men who had ihe unlimited ballot
polled 35l.74l votes in the November
election out of 394,0l5 registered. 30
per cent. of the registration.
Kansas shows a big increase i'm the
return. About 10000 more votes wcr,
cast at the election last month than
al the 1912 election. Tho increase is
laid 10 womcn's votes, and il may be
we'll that more than that number Oi
women voted. since 1912 was a Prcsi-
dental year and would be likely "a
draw a larger mems vote The total
vote this year was 52S. 206; in 1912 IN,
vote OF men alone was 359,612. In
Kansas, as in other Western States
the number of adult mon is greater
! than The number of adult women.
The results in California show moi
orly that the women used their vote
but how they used II. II is accredited
tostheir efforts that the red light and
Injunction and abatement amendment
was carried.

SOUsA NEYER EXCIrEn.

Wndt splendid corner traffic Off
Ger Sousa would make" exclaims the
versatile musical editor Of the In
dianapolis News. after brilliantly de-
scribing two Sousa concerts in the In
diana capital. Just the slightest little
underhand jerk Of his baton brings out
a never berating crash from the brass
instruments That would start the
heavy trucks and the street cars. Then
a graceful waive brings in the clarin-
cts and other more timid instruments.
That would be very encouraging to
the ladies TO cross the street That
gentle, cOntonted swaying back and
forth of the arms would keep things
running a long time under ordinary
conditions. The occasional raising cs
the white-glovcd hand and delicate
closing Of the fingers. as II he were
sprinkling a bit of salt on a particu-
larly delicious note would crafty any
passing personal friends and still
leave him perfectly free 10 keep his
eye on the mass of other people and
vehicles and send them moving and
sweeping along as he sends the music.
II would be impossible TO think Of him
as getting ratified by the conglomera-
tion of unexpected motion any more
than by the outlandish ragtime mix
ture. which he now turns into brill
liant concert cloth.
And by the way. there is something
so finely suggestive in the unexcited
motions of MI. Sousa that when one
saw him raise his arms and draw his
hands apart as the band began TO
play Smoky Ookums,' one could
practically hear the tearing Of a very
large rag. And then, although he did
not move an inch from where he
stood. his graceful, gliding movement
as the band played "The Gliding Girl
slight as they were. gave one sense
of sweeping deliciously in a big ball
room"

heard here. directed by John Philip

"The Fight" a photoplay which
deals with the great white slave traf-

While there is no attempt at preach

mistakable. There is a strong plot.
showing the fight women are waging
to kill the giant octopus that is slowly
but surely gathering in its victims.
There is nothing Objectionable in this
film, and it is worth while seeing.
There is a decidedly strong theme and
one that is capahly handled.
