The Catholic Immigrant Problem.
How weighty 10 the problem OF the
Catholic immigrant may be judged
from the faot that more than 500. 900

HAVE YOU NOTICED?
[Carroll Herald.1

You haven't noticed any establish
ment interested in the making of war
munitions. or any officers Of the navy
opposed to the presidents newly
adopted policy of preparedness? No.
and you won't; for preparedness means
the expenditure of vast amounts of
money and the multiplication Of OPP
portunities to mass fortunes. And a
great navy Think Of the glory that
would come with the proposed expan-
sion. But of course everybody is i'm
PEELED by patriotic motives.

SCHOOLS IN DARKNESS
 AS NO POLES ARE UP

The public school is now in dark ness because no poles have been erect ed for the carrying of wires in that direction. Some time ago President Graf of the Electric company asked for permission to erect poles over there but the council refused and the franchise was not passed in time to permit of the work being done under favorable conditions. The company says now that all the old poles are frozen in the ground and quite delay is caused to the efforts to get new poles. The company also claims that the council is delaying unnecessarily the passing of ordinances providing for certain things that are regarded as necessary to permit the company to go ahead with the work under the new franchise,

ROASTS SUFFRAGETTES
 TO THEIR VERY FACES
Congressman Says Women Sell Their Votes for Theatre Tickets and
 Cannot be Trusted.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-Bearding the lion in his den would be a mild per formance compared to the actionNof Congressman Meeker here last night when he told a meeting of suffragists to their faces that women are not fitted for political life and that they would serve their own interests best by trusting men entirely to legislate for them. The congressman handled the subject without glovesi and made no bones about it. He went the length of declaring that he knew of one woman who has sold her vote for fifty dollars and that her example was by no means an isolated one. He further asserted that society women have been selling their votes for  theatre tickets, not because they were dishonest but because they did not understand the significance of a vote while they regarded theatre tickets as the be-all and end-all of existence. The congressman received respect full hearing notwithstanding his severe strictures on the political wo- man. He told them positively that men had been cut out for politics and that they could legislate for women better than the women themselves.

Harry Steele is the "present in- cumbent" and is also one of the pub fishers of the Cordova Daily Times. The remarkable fact about the en- dorsement of another publisher of the Times is that the Times recently att tackled, rather vulgarly and very savagely, Postal Inspector Neil. be- cause of whose ruling Harry Steele quit the postmastership. It will be interesting to note whether the De- partment will appoint publisher of a paper that insulted and attacked the inspector.
