An American Principle
Local option is an American prin-

never has been sane argument ad-

whether or not booze shall be sold in
that community.
The principle of majority rule was
the thing for which Americans fought

nation has been engaged, save one"
Dr. Lyter paid a pretty compliment

hoped he would be given an opportun-

sentiment in that section of the city
is terrific.
Following a stirring appeal by the
Rev. DR.. J. A. Lyter, the pastor, he
asked every voter in the congregation
who was in favor of the passage of
the Williams local option bill to stand.
Every man stood up!

oh, little girl, with the eyes of blue.
The world was made for a little girl
And all the sunshine was made for you,
And all tine trees with their low-hung
boughs,
And all the birds and their songs they
sing.
And all the fields where the winds ca
rouse,
They were made for you, all, every
thing,
And when you're sleepy the purple night
Is made for you, with its twinkling
stars;
And wfen you wake comes the morning
light.
And sunshine lying In yellow bars
Across the floor and across your bed,
And the sky is clear and cobalt blue,
And all OF it, oh, my touselhead
The sky and sun and the worlds for
you.
Father and mother were made for you,
AS much as your doll and Teddy bear;
Oh, little baby with eyes of blue,
On, little baby with tousled hair:
And winds bring perfume of meadow
sweet
And the live oak boughs bend down and
sway;
They wait for you and your dancing feet,
They're longing for you to come and
play.

MRS. POTTER THINKS HER COLONEL
JUST THE RIGHT MAN FOR MAYOR
She Is Not in Sympathy With His Candidacy but She
Is Proud of Him as Splendid Example of
Practical Idealist"
By MLISS

The Colonels Lady (Irs. Sheldon Pot
ter, of course, for what other Colonel's
Lady could get so much as a squint from
the public eye at time like thls0 is a
demure, winsome little person, the last
in the world you would expect to be con-
versant with municipal affairs and to
hold strong political views which she Wig
ously declares are hers and hers alone
not the Colonels. Colonel Potter is an
independent candidate for Mayor.
Just from looking at her you'd imagine
her happiest diversions to be knitting for
the Belgians, mixing mayonnaise or
something domestic like that, but just
when you begin to wonder which house,
hold topic II would be best to engage her
interest in, she 'hands you" line of talk
that might come from a tried and true
public official used to having reporters
'in" every morning, and owlishly wise
to their tricks and dodges.
Understand" she said, determinedly,
whatever say are my opinions, and not
the Coloneps."
Are you not a supporter of the Colonel.
then?" 1 put In timidly. do you, per-
haps, favor Mr.. Porter or Mr.. Smith for
the next Mayor of Philadelphia"
"Of course not" she said, emphatically.
Il am so proud of Mr. Potter and all that
he has done. 1 think he is a splendid ex-
ample of the practical idealist and what
such a man can do when he holds public
office. But / am not in sympathy with
my. husbands candidacy for Mayor, and
though 1 shall, OF course. have to be en-
thusiastic If he is the successful nominee,
sfill should have been better pleased had
he not entered the race. However. II was
matter of conscience and public duty
with him aud Il no had 70 sta
down
The reason for my objection" she
continued, "is simply this: II he is elected
ne VIII work too hard II the holder OF
municipal office is conscientious he
hnds that his duties are more arduous
than he had ever imagined, and In order
10 keep up with the days work and do
his full duty to the people. It is necessary
Tor him to work more strenuously than
ne ever would were he in business for
himself.
But despite her objections to his can
didacy. 1t is plain to see that Mrs. Pot
ter considers her husband the right and
best man to be the next Mayor OF Phila-
delphia. Her soft. pleasing voice, IA
tinged with enthusiasm and takes on a
vibrant note when she talks Of what in
the Potter household are regarded as the
three outstanding innovations for which
the Colonel was responsible when he was
director OF Public Safety. They are the
striking Off Of 1900 fraudulent names
from the assessors list and the wholesale
arresting OF repeaters; the establishment
OF the first motorcycle squad IN the coun-
try and the organization of the Market
street trafnc squad; and finally, giving
TO the Police Department a code OF pro-
cedure, the first OF the kind II had ever
had which enabled every oficer charged
with an onense TO be furnished with a
