that the American voice is better cal

GOOD FRIDAY.

This, the third day before Easter. is
reputed in history TO be approx
mately the anniversary of the cruel
fixion OF the Man OF Nazareth. The
churches give it some consideration.
but in the main Easter serves as the
day Of celebration OF both the cruel
fixfOn and the resurrection, regardless
OF the incongruity. Good Friday, in
the nature OF things. might pass as
day Of sorrows. while Easter, signih-
cant Of the resurrection, must stand as
a day of joys. The world. however, at
this late day. is too uncOncerned about
the SORROWS of time. and too busy re-
crucifying the Christ. 10 stop 10 think
OF Good Friday with great serious
ness.
The remark that the world is kept
busy recrucifying Christ is not mad
visedly used. His only offense was
that He was reformer in His day;
the founder of a new philosophy.
What overlook Him has overtaken
every man since Him. at least in de-
gree. who has dared TO advance a
new idea. or propose any change Of
methods calculated 20 serve the COM
mon herd; which, you may recall, was
the herd that the Master came 20

WOMEN THAT WEREN'T AFRAID.

Indiana neglected during the recent
legislature to extend TO woman the
ballot It was asserted that they
weren't needed; that they would only
mess things up. We are half inclined
10 believe. from recent developments,
Furthermore. that the opponents of
suffrage were right, only. please note
the very commendable mess.
Terre Haute is cleaning its Augean
stables and the stencil thereof ex-
tends even unto the Atlantic and Pa
cihc
The feature which makes the Terre
Haute scandals unusually worthy of
note, is that the noble women of that
city, sickened at the apathy Of the
men of Terre Haute toward the turpi-
tude of its political atmosphere, took
the matter into their own hands. They
organized and sent women TO the west
end polls, the slum and red-hght dis
trict, before daylight to gather evil
dence of repeating and to challenge
illegal voting. These women were
repeatedly wantonly insulted by dive
keepers, while police officers looked on
and jeered. But they got the needed
evidence, good and plenty and now
bunch OF Terre Haute political thugs,
are facing practically certain convic-
ton. The gang" begins with a sa-
loon keeper. and ends. thus far. with
the right honorable mayor, and justice
is still reaching for the higher ups.
Some of Terre Hautes most prom
inent people" are suffering from night
sWeats and loss Of appetite and con-
templating a change of climate. which
is all due to the fact that a few women
had nerve enough to do what the men
Of Terre Haute would not.
A new phase is presented to an old
problem. There VIII always be vote
sellers, just as there will always be a
ready market for their wares. The
average business man is too busy or
may be his sensibilities too dulled, to
put a stop to it, even though he
knows OF and cordems the evil prac-
tice. But the women find the time
and the way TO correct abuses and
they will eternally keep on finding
them, given legal right TO do SO.
No stronger argument for equal
privilege to women has ever been pre-
sented than these same Terre Haute
election-fraud trials.

CHEAPER FOR TWO To TRAVEL

In the April Woman's Home Com

articles entitled. Made America

infinitely several trips which can be
taken this summer. The descrlp-
tons are TO include facts about eX-
penses, and so on. The idea is that,
with conditions in Europe as they are
travel in America will be greatly
stimulated. The author says that
generally speaking. two persons can
travel proportionately cheaper than
