full messages, 1t was reported, were
coming In from all directions telling
how Representatives were showing
signs of being impressed.
In most cases mass meetings were
under way, with the Congressman
sometimes included In the mass and
sometimes on the platform stating his
views. Mostly. so reports indicated,
the unwilling statesmen were Jus.
listening.
What the women want chiefly Is
that the Congressman shall pledge
themselves to party platform planks
favoring national amendment
granting suffrage to women.
In every one of the Congressional
districts affected the women are In

o~pledge Democratic and Republican
Nhional Convention delegates TO ia
vor national suffrage planks.
These local conventions are under
the general national direction OF Mrs.
Mccormick. Tho Suffraglsts In each
district will pledge their support to
Suffrage delegates. Much time
will be spent interviewing candidates.
In States where national party dele
gates are chosen by State convention
the Suffrag lsts will concentrate upon
pro-Sufrrage county delegates.
"Sufrragists in every State in the
Union" said Mrs. Mccormick, will
make 1t a point TO have big demon

candidate for the House or the SEN

PlOtters in the u. S. A.
Nv DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

This is mighty poor country for
plotters.
We somehow lack the atmosphere. To
have first-class plot you need castles,
meats, hOary and ivy-grown institutions.
We are too young.
Then you need mobiles, kings, splendid
ferousness, grandiose men and naughty
women, all against background Of
bringing, servile OATS who constitute the
common people, whom the big bugs
sway with their word, bride with their
gold, step on, spit on, and live on. The
mob in this country, however, is fail
ure except in those instances where it is
composed of imported integers.
Uncle Sam is hopelessly bourgeois.
He's just plain common. He doesn't want
to wear gold braid or a cooked hat or
to have a sabre dangling between his
legs. He hates titles and uniforms. He
does not want to fight just for the fun
of fighting, but is perfectly willing for
a scrap II he knows what it's all about
He is fond of minding his own business.
He is anxious to make money, bring up
his children well, give his women folks
all the fine clothes and houses, player
pianos and talking machines and gew-
gaws they want. and altogether is an
energetic person domestically inclined,
hence a poor plotter.
So, while We hate to discourage patri-
otto activity, we must warn the various
deep and dark gentlemen from Europe
who are Matching plots over here that
the prospects are poor. The soil here
is bum for plots. The crop is 'pow'ful
spindlin'." as a rule.
When ! was a boy there was a deal
of talk about the A. p. A. Do you re-
member what happened to them? They
disappeared in gust of laughter.
The only place you "a Verk the secret
sign and password business here is in a
Masonic lodge or some ether like place
where men gather to play. But don't
try to pull it off seriously.
You may interest few lately import
ed hyphenated Americans, but not their
children. The children don't want to be
German, Polish, Russian, Czech, Aus

want to be Americans.
So don't try any of that melodrama

Tea and Lemons
Replace Vodka

That the prohibition in Russia OF
the alcoholic drink vodka will have
its effect upon the lemon dealers OF
America Is q fact of recent interest
TO the department OF commence.
From vodka TO lemons Is rather a
far cry. but the connecting link is
the use OF tea. The greater part OF
the population OF Russia Is now
drinking this beverage as substi-
tute for alcohol. and the use OF lem
ons with IL IL almos. universal. Pre-
yious to the war the Russian mar
ket was supplied with lemons from
Messina. Italy. Most OF these ship
ments we're made by sea TO Odessa.
and In some instances through the
Russian Baltic ports.
These sea routes are now not
open, and few shipments have been
effected since the closing OF the Oar
danellcs. Russian dealers are inter
ested in securing American quota
tons on lemons. though formerly
the Italian fruit has been preferred.
fhe improvement of shipping condi.
tons Is a necessary factor TO Amer
lean trade, for the transit from the
United States to Russia In an OBJ.
stacle.
The recent retail price OF lemons
in Russia has naturally made the
market an interesting one to Ameri-
can dealers. for lemons have been
as high as 10 and 13 cents apiece
Immediately after war was declared
this high price was forced by GER
tain Wholesale dealers who restrict
ed the supply, hoping to make 1t last
through the winter. The result was
that all classes considered these
prices prohfbftive ana lemons prac.
ticaily disappeared from use.
The demand. however. Is a very
present one, and the practicability
Of trade n IN interesting problem
to the department of commence.
The consumption Of refined sugar.
too, has increased enormously in
Russia. Large supplies are purchas-
ed for the army and by the popula-

MQSHcdtiOn And Food Utilization

Again and again n everyday life
we find that some dictum which
either commends itself to common
sense or lends. itself to arguments
tive proof Is being made the basis OF
widespread propaganda What
was more reasonable than to as
sumo that water ingested with
meals would dilute the gastric
juice and thus diminish its Ell
cheney? And what was mere logical
than to urge the abolition Of such
an assumedly harmful custom OF
water drinking? Yet investigation
has shown that some of the postu-
lates in this contention are wrong.
and that unsupported factors fur
Their vitiate the conclusions. Indeed
under certain conditions water
may even promote the gastric Sc
erection and thus upset these rever-
ed traditions.
The proper mastication OF food
has certain obvious justihcations. II
promises a more extensive insaliva-
ton, which r. not without advan-
tage TO certain types OF foodstuffs.
and II permits a speedier admjxture
Of the digestive secretions with the
food. Enthusiasts have not been
content with the insistence on these
indisputable advantages. but have
attempted to infuse far-reaching
effects into the habit Of very COM
plete mastication. We may be ready
TO admit that insufficient mastica-

Give Women the Ballot;
Compel Men to Use 1t.

While women are making desperate
struggle to gain for themselves the right
10 vote, men of the more educated
classes who are not personally mixed up
in politics. are becoming more and more
Indifferent and indolent in performing
their duty toward their country on cleo
ton day. This has come about largely
because of the control of the political
machine and the consequent conviction
of the decent citizen that it would make
little difference whether he voted or not:
condition which filled him with dis
gust.
Instead of being aroused to greater
endeavor by the state of the politics
ridden municipalities he has put on his
slippers, read magazine and comforted
himself with his righteous indignation.
There has been slight moral awaken
ing along these lines in the last few
years, due probably to ,keener sense
of community responsibility, which is APP
parent everywhere and also to the split
in the Republican party
This is not enough, however, and un-
less it is unconstitutional, more streru-
Gus means might be employed.
We have too many laws as il is, but
there mightlbe one more passed. which
would really have some bearing upon
something, j. e. to compel a man to use
the ballot (,lnless preyented by sickness)
or forfeit his right. We could then have
a representative government, which was
what orr democratic forefathers in
tended
Individual liberty is one thing, but rs
every man must pay taxes, one way or
another, why not go step farther and
compe. every man to vote. 1t would go
a long way toward purifying politics.
