After a stormy and eventful three-hour
session of the Home and School AS
sociation at Eastern High School last
evening, the group trying to delay ac-
ton on the question of secret societies.
headed bv Dr. Willard Small, principal
OF the school. succeeded In having an
extended report, highly unfavorable 10
the societies, sent back to the commit
tee for a further investigation among
parents and among society members
themselves. The vote was "a to %.
Every chair in the hall was filled, and
a fringe of fraternity and sorority MEM
bers gathered around. warmly applaud

cieties. and interrupting by audible ex-
pressions of disapproval the reading or

Among the allegations made in the
report as read by Henry 4. iesse, In

Another teacher refers to the social

Mr.. Hesse replied that the committee
had not had the temerity TO try to at

DR.. Willard Small, the principal, de-

question.
On the committee, in addition to Mr.

"THE FALLING HOME"

"When women 60 into politics they
will leave the home. The home will
be destroyed by the ballot, and then
what will become of the American
people?"
1t is dark picture. It was painted
by the hand Of former Cabinet Of
ficer. A Cabinet officer ought to
know what he is talking about, but
often he doesn't. Most of our ma
tional troubles go back to that abyss
between "ought" and doesn't"
At the same time, this menace
should be gravely considered. Pic
ture the scene for yourself. Year
after year George Jones and his wife
have lived happily together, acquir-
ing a home, a piano, and a family on
the installment plan. Morning and
night they have looked into each
others eyes in trust and amity,
grateful for the past and hopeful for
the future.
But one dark day the legislature
gives Mrs. Jones the right to vote. A
shadow falls across the threshold.
Less than two years ahead is the
Presidential election, a day which is
heavy with doom for this contented
family. AS the campaign progresses
they sit with clasped hands, discuss
ing the tariff in the cleaning, afraid
to speak of that fatal November day
when all their happiness will be as
ashes on their lips.
At last the day dawns. Mrs. Jones
slips on hat and jacket and goes
forth bravely to make the sacrifice
She stops in at the butchers to buy
the steak, and on the way home goes
unfiinchingly up to the polling place
and casts her ballot.
It is done. She returns to find her
hearth deserted and her home made
desolate. Husband and children are
gone. Husband has gone fishing and
the children to the neighbors. Yet
she bears up heroically She has
saved the State even at the cost of q
cold fireside and an abandoned
home. Also she has bought the
steak. Her duty is done, as soon as
she had darned a few socks anc
cleaned up the house.
But it is all over. When she
stepped into that pooling place the
American home came down like q
busted elevator.

OF the most dangerous men from
America. and Annie Ferguson, known
also as Annie Grant and Annie Gleason,

A jeweler named Gutnowsh took 5000

The woman, though an American, has
long police record in this country.
Ten years ago she substituted nn imi-

auction rooms. For this she received
sentence of three years. In 1911 she was
given five years as an habitual pick

ton but a short time before her present
arrest.
Annie Gleason, as she is commonly
known to the American police. was

Head Of State Suffrage Organi

Woman.

Fargo, N. D., April 21.-Special-
Mrs. Clara Darrow, head OF the North
Dakota Suffrage association and a
very prominent club woman of the
state, is reported to be dying at Jack
sonville, Fla. Mrs. Darrow has been
ailing for several years past and un-
derwent an operation about two years
ago, from the effects OF which she has
never fully recovered. She was very
active at the last session of the legis-
lature.
. The latest message from Jackson
vile, Fla, concerning the condition of
Mrs. E. M. barrow CT this city, arriv-
ed shortly aft 2 O'Clock this after
noon, in which it is stated that, while
still alive, there is no change in her
condition. A telegram which arrived
this morning stated that there is no
hope for her recovery. Mrs. r. E,
Weible, daughter, was called to
Jacksonville last Sunday night by her
mothers sudden illness.
The report current on the street to.
day that Mrs. Darrow was dead is un-
oufnded, but her condition is consid-

a close friend of the family, departed
for Mrs. Darrow's bedside.
While the news of Mrs Darrow's
serious illness comes as a great shock
to the community. and in fact to hosts
people over the entire state wh'
are acquainted with her, it is not alto
gether unexpected by those closely
associa ed with her. She has been a
sufferer for years, and the serious
turn of her condition is therefore not
altogether a surprise.
While the messages do not so state,
it is believed here that Mrs. Darrow
is unconscious Further word is anx-
iously awaited here, and by the other
children They are Dan Darrow, who
is a student at Cornell university.
