CLASS DISTINCTION KEEPS
WOMEN OUT OF POLITICS

"The Democratic county Central
committee has given up the idea of
having an organization of women to
work along with the men on the
campaign in the country" said
Henry Albach, chairman of the Dem
ocratic central committee. this
morning. The members of the com
mittee were unsuccessful in their
attempts to get women to serve on
the auxiliary organization.
1T seems that the distinction in
classes among the women makes a
political organization of women a
difficult proposition. A high-salar-
led man will form a close acquaint-
ance and work with a laboring man
in politics but the wife of the same
man will not take an interest in the
wife of the working man to the
extent that they will work together
in a political campaign. The women
do not take the interest in politics
that they should; it appears as
lack of interest on their part to ac-
quaint themselves with national is
sues. '-Salina Union.

Vote for New High

/ c. S. Crawford Proper mental
development requires sound and

SUM suitable to the needs of the

proper facilities for manual train
ing. which is quite as essential as
mental development. The domestic
science department also demands

conditions, be provided An enlight-

Some false reports in regard t.
registration have been circulate,
concerning the coming bond elec
tion. 1t has been stated that a per
son not voting at the recent pri
mary could not vote at the comine
bond election. This is incorrect. The
attorney general has made ruling
that the only necessary qualification
is that person shall have voted
at the last general state election.
Anyone, therefore, who voted at the
last state election, or since then, is
qualified voter
The Location
The board of education has ask
ed the people of Abilene a straight
forward, clean cut question: do
you want a modern high school?"
II has asked this question in the
only right way to ask it. 1t has
asked an educational question on a
purely educational basis, the only
way 1t ought ever to be asked. AS
it is, every voter who really be-
lieves in education will vote Eyes"
and every voter who does not be-
lieve in it will vote "No." AS it is, |
the issue is education only, and not
real estate booming and personal
advantage. The man who declares
that he will vote against the bonds
because the location has not been
decided, is not thinking of the
schools or of the needs of the
community. He is not, as a good
citizen ought, placing them first. He
is thinking of his own personal gain
and advantage He is not willing to
settle the main question first, and
take his chances with his fellow
townsmen on the matter of loca-
tion. He has a predicision in his
favor. When the community has
once decided that it wants a mod ,
ern high school. the question of To-
cation win become the next logical
4 uestion. 1t will then be thrown
open and everybody will have !,
hearing.
