Judge Brooks OF Dallas said that he

seen cigarette dudes In red socks and

The Eagle does not sanction edi.
torial utterances OF the above nature.
They have a bloody shirt" odor to
them and are in reality tinctured with
anarchism. Our observation for
twenty-six years as an editor, is that
the sons OF rich men are as hard
workers, as serious and sober minded
and as earnest as the sons of poor
men. We do not believe in trying to
array class prejudice, in trying to
stir up animosity between town and
country, but on the other hand, in
building up a spirit of universal
brotherhood and in giving to labor
that dignity to which It is entitled.
All should work, the sons Of the rich
and the sons of the poor. There is
no place for drones and idlers, and
our people should be so educated to
this fact that the young man who has
not some honorable employment, who
is not paying his way, should feel
himself disgraced.

THAT CHICAGO ELECTION.

In a letter to the editor OF the
Statesman, discussing the election In
Chicago in which women participated
for the first time, Mrs. James b. Wells
Of Brownsville, who spoke recently on
the subject Of suffrage in the Senate
chamber, writes:
"Will you kindly give space in the
Statesman to the following facts con-
corning the Chicago election of last
April? These will not come amiss
just at present:
Il. That out of 516,292 women
qualified to register only 2l76l4 reg
istered, and of these only 1882
voted.
"2. That all the women candidates
for aldermen were defeated.
"S. That there were only six wards
out Of the thirty.fve in which the
womens votes affected the result. In
all of the other wards the successful
candidates would have been elected
II no women had voted.
"a. The spectacular attempt to de-
pose the notorious Bathhouse John
in the First Ward was a gloomy fail
ure. He was reelected by a plurality
of more than 1000.
90. More women voted for Bath
house John than against him. He
would have been reelected by
women's votes II every man in the
ward had stayed away from the polls.

declares confidently: Women voters
will hold the balance of power in ev'
cry ward in Chicago at the aldermanic
election of April.

ly any cause to point with pride at
the results in Chicago April Z, 1914?'
