But when he says, something, just make

It's something worth listenin' to.

Kansas Comment
THE RIGHT VIEW TO TAKE.

Publicity has recently been given to
the success of a ST. Louis roofing con-
Germ, which in the hard times of last
fall organized. a 100000 advertising
campaign. AS result so much new
trade came in that their business is 20
per cent better than it had been ten
years before. In a small way this ex-
perience can be duplicated in the ex-
perience of a great many retail bust
ness enterprises. 1t used to be the
case that when there was business de-
preston advertising fell off and news
papers ran fewer pages or filled up
more space with plate matter. Our
observation of our exchanges is tic
the effect that they have run just as
much advertising as ever through the
slow business of the last year This
is because enterprising firms have
realized that advertising is the main
spring of their business. When a
manufacturing firm finds business
flat, it does not turn off its statesmen.
On the contrary it is apt to hire more
statesmen. so as to cover the territory
more thoroughly. The newspaper ad-
vertising is the retail merchants
salesman, and it should be kept work
ing all the tine.-Coffeyville Sun.

AvARIcE BUSY IN ENGLAND.

One would certainly think, to read
most of the stuff printed on the sub
ject that the laborers in Great Brit
ain engaged in turning out munitions
of war, are making a record that is
entirely unique for selfishness and
lack of patriotism. But the London
Times, old and conservative to the
limit, says the wealthy contractors
who do not go in the army, and who
do not do manual labor, either, have
been setting the laborers an example
of unholy greed and wicked oppor-
tunism, in that they lose no chance to
take advantage of the governments
desperate plight, to cheat in filling
contracts and to charge exorbitant
prices-Lawrence Journal

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. w. Lentz. OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his lite was saved.
William MIonich, in Pendleton county
tried TO cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instnuc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.

WOMEN DO NOT KNOW
ENOUGH TO VOTE

Some people think women don't
know enough about politics to vote.
The other day Mrs. Wolfe OF Cleve
land, in canvassing Ward Seventeen
asked a policeman, a fireman.. the
proprietors of a dry goods store, a
grocery store, a drug store and sew.
eral other men where precinct was
located. None Of them knew. An.
other woman living in Columbus
asked five business men Of the city
who the secretary Of state was, and
they could not tell her The press
chairman Of the suffrage association
wrote to the Census Bureau and the
Department of Labor in Washington,
asking the number Of men, women
and children in industry in the State
of Ohio. Both departments wrote
that they did not know, as the census
reports dealing with those figures
collected in the year 1910, owing to
the lack of funds, had not yet been
published. The last report previous
to 1910 in the volume in which she
was interested was out OF print. 1t
sort of looks as if some other folks
besides women didn't know every
thing down in JUDGE"

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE
Women Are Citizens and Wish to Do
Their Civic Duty.

Working Women need the ballot to
regulate conditions under which they
work. Do working Men think they can
protect themselves without the right
to vote?
Housekeepers need the ballot to
regulate the sanitary conditions un-
der which they and their families
must live. Do Men think they can
get what is needed for their district
unless they can vote for the men that
will get it for Them?
Mothers need the ballot to regulate
the moral conditions under which
their children must be brought up.
Do Men think they can fight against
vicious conditions that are threaten
ing their children unless they can
vote for the men that run the dis
trict?
Teachers need the ballot to secure
iust wages and to influence the man
agement of the public schools. Do
Men think they can secure better
school conditions without vote to
elect the Mayor who dominates the
Board Of Education?
Business Women need the ballot to
secure for themselves a fair opportu-
nity in their business. Do business
Men think they could protect them
selves against adverse legislation
without the right to vote?
Tax Paying Women need the bal.
lot to protect their property. Do not
Men know that Taxation without
representation" is tyranny?
All Women need the ballot because
they are concerned equally with men
In good and bad government; and
equally responsible for civic right
eousness.
All Men need women's help to build
better and juster government. and
Women need Men to help them Sc
cure their right to fulfil their civic
duties. a "a

MA CAN'T VOTE

Mas a graduate Of college. and she's
read most everything;
She can talk in French and German,
she can paint and she can sing.
Beautiful? She's like picture! When
she talks she makes you think
OF the sweetest kind of music, and
she doesn't smoke or drink.
Oh, / can't begin to tell you all the
poems she can quote;
She knows more than half the law
yers do; but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters ma
must always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to
make his meaning clear.
II he needs advice, her judgment, he
admits, is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers,
mostly at his own request.
She keeps track of legislation, and is
taxed on bonds and stocks,
But she never gets look at the
sacred ballot box.
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for
he's not a graduate,
And | doubt if he could tell you who
is governing the state
He has never studied grammar, and
III bet he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived a thousand or
two thousand years ago.
He could never tell us how to keep
the ship of state afloat,
For he doesn't know there's such a
thing-but ma can't vote.
Once Mr. Jones was calling and they
got up a short debate
That was on the tariff question; he
supposed he had it straight.
But before they'd finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about it, nor
remembered what he'd read.

Still he looms up like giant when
election times arrive.

And he'd trade his ballot for drink
