FAMILIES SPLIT
ON CAMPAIGN
Wives of Wilson Supporters
viii Take Stump For
Gov. Hughes.
DlVERTING CAMPAIGN PHASE

Washington.-Familie are being di-
vided by the present political issues.
Here are a few examples. j. A. II.
Hopkins of New Jersey is treasurer
of the Progressive (genuine) national
committee, and has announced that
he personally favors the reelection of
Wilson. Mrs. Hopkins is a member
of the Woman's party and will take
the stump and do all she can to
prevent the election of Wilson.
Clifford Pinchot is for Hughes and
all the militarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos Pinchot,
his brother, is a member of the
American Union Against Militarism
and will support Wilson as the lesser
of two evils. Rep. William Kent of
California is a wild-eyed enthusiast
for Wilson and is heading a Wilson
non-partisan league, while Mrs. Kent
is a member of the Woman's party
and will stump for the defeat of VIII
son.
George Middleton has allied hSnself
with the group of writer's who have
announced themselves for Wilson,
while his wife, Fola La Toilette, is one
of the members of the Congressional
union who will hold Wilson respon-
sible for the defeat of the Susan b.
Anthony amendment. Meredith Mich
olson Is a Wilson supporter, but Mrs.
Nicholson will write and stump
against Wilson On account of his at
titude toward the federal suffrage
amendment. Mrs. Louis +. Post is a
member of the Woman's Peace party
and an ardent Tolstoyan pacifist.
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary OF
labor, is for the Administrations

SALT LAKE
MEN FAIL
Cannot Join U. S. Marine
Corps

Salt Lake City, Sept 12.-Sixteen
applicants for enlistment, whose
right legs were longer than their port
side members, were rejected at the
local recruiting station of the U. S.
Marine Corps, during the month OF
August, according to Sergeant Frank
r. Busch, the on-commissioned Of
fcer in charge.
Il take no stock in the theory that
it is an hereditary affection with a
Salt Lake locale" said Marine Ser
geant Busch today, but it is a pc
culiar fact that very many males OF
this city have straboard gambs long
er than their left ones. One expla-
nation is that the male forbears of
this younger generation had their
legs pulled so often and hard by
their plural wives during the spring
bonnet season that the offspring has
been marked with list a-port.'

even single word with woman.
No women visitors come to his camp
and if they did, Johnny couldn't talk
to them It's working camp and
Johnny is worker. Occasionally an
automobile will pass thru camp with
one of the fair sex comfortably seat
ed in it, and as the soldier boy looks
up from his task to take lleetlng
glance, it seems to actentuate the
hunger of his heart and his lips seem
to murmur, "Oh, if l could only
speak to her-if she were only to say
it is a fine day." it would be relief.
This may seem odd to the folks at
home, who have never been excom-
municated from the society OF the
gentler sex, but it is true that this is
the feeling that is found in the hearts
of ninety-nine out of every, one-hun-
dred who see an occasional woman in
camp.
But, say the girls at home, don't
the soldiers get chance to go to
town to meet people socially? They
go to town, but in the case of enlist
ed men, their principal diversion is
wandering about town, going to a
movie show, where he sees none but
the men who are doing border duty
with him. He may wander into a
stag dance hall, but as general
rule the men don't care about dane
ing with their own sex. Then he
starts for camp=he must be there
by II D. M, but he generally turns
in at 9:30-and when he arrives he
is empty handed, empty hearted, and
as lonesome as man on desert IS
land. His lonesomeness has been in
creased by what he has seen in town.
The streets thru which he wanders
are, between and at night, filled
with promenaders, who lightly
dressed in their white linens, look
cool And how Johnny longs to be
one of them, for cool is one OF the
foremost thoughts in his world. And

they gaze right thru the soldier boy
from up north and don't even seem
to know that he is there, never, be-
traying any consciousness of his pres
ence.
This is practically true Of the fem
inine portion of the crowd. The sol
dier in his dusty khaki is no hero to
them. AS he passes thru the crowd he
canont help but think that the warm

ugh" has caused the waste of
gallons of ink and millions of min
utes of time by its needless presence
in such words as though and through
to say nothing of the stupid and bur
densome task of learning to spell a
simple word in so foolish fashion.
This is only one of the many useless
and burdensome spellings, each tri-
fe in itself, but really a heavy bur
den on childhood.
Idaho is getting rid of the COM
monest and most useless of these ex-
ira letters. Some months ago the
State Board of Education authorized
the use of certain simplified forms,
and the Board required the publish
ers of the new spelling book to in
clude the Idaho list of simplified
spellings as follows:'
|. Use the following spellings for
these words and their compounds and
derivatives: tho, altho, thoro, thru,
rime, draft. and sulfur.
II. In all words where there is a,
choice between.
1. The dipthong ae and the vowel

greetings he received on the way
down are part of fantastic dream.
There is only one thing that keeps
the men in khaki contented, and that
is faith. They needed a call from
their country-they came to serve
Old Glory=they came with the fact
staring them in the face, that they
were called upon to perform stern
duty, and that faith is and will hold
them fast to their duty until they
return home.
But, to close this little picture OF
Johnny Doughboy." it is safe to say
that the girls at home will receive a
greater consideration from the boys
who are wearing the khaki and who
are winning a bloodless victory for
their people, than has ever before
been accorded them by the knights of
old.

If anyone wishes to know the
greatest deprivation of camp life far
from home, just tell them 1t is the
loss of woman's society. To every

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND


The plan adopted by Cornelius N.
Bliss. Jr., treasurer of the Republican
National Committee to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favors the
election of Mr. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support of a Republican
Senate and House to contribute SO
and become a sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate of membership.
That the money will prove q good in
vestment is patent 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which is necessary if the prosperity
and influence of the nation is to con-
tinue.
"There are at least 100000 Repub-
leans, but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
sciousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work is done by few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers a cure for that con-
d;tion. Help the cause and get a GER
tificate of membership that will estab-
lish your party affiliation. 1t Is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
licans will give SO each. but If a
goodly number who can afford 1T do
so there will be a great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country in fullest measure
preparedness. protection and perma-
nent prosperity.
Mr.. Hughes is seeing how big the
West is, and the West is seeing how
big Mr.. Hughes is. 1t is happy ar
rangement
Friends of Wilson are still trying
to explain what he meant by too
proud to fight" But can they tell us
what he meant by strict accountable
ity?'
Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen
ry Watterson. "have ever proved dis
appointing candidates." He is right.
Alton B. Parker was big disappoint-
ment to the Democrats. And so is
Charles Evans Hughes.-Toledo Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive to the expedieEcy
Of accepting several invitations to
make speeches in the West. Nobody
knows any better than he that it will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug in that
locality by Justice Hughes.
