of widespread family friction an account
of political differences is small. In Illinois
the divergence has been much sharper at
local elections.
The size of the women's vote in Illinois
is the more impressive because women are
not permitted under the existing law to
vote for state officers of representa- lves
in Congress. Before they can have more
extended franchise right it will be neces-
sary to amend the state constitution.
In Quincy women are standing in line
at polling places at o'clock a. m. In
Danville SO per cent of them had voted
before 10 o'clock. In one Lake Forest pre-
cinct a woman voter was on hand before
the polls were open at 6 o'clock. Many
women held children in their arms while
marking their ballots. In Galena worn-
an 81 years old, VINO was blind till an oper.,

SPAGHETTI.

Spaghetti is long and demonstrating

and winter models of the 1916 girl. It is
supposed to be an article of food, but be-

tice on it in out Of the way places. In gen.

it from your plate to your mouth it is

WOMEN VOTERS IN ILLINOIS.

r EIGHTY NINE per cent of the wom-
r.. en- registered in Chicago cast bal
lots. In only four wards out of
35 did the women show preference for
a presidential candidate different from
that recorded by their husbands, fathers
and brothers. In the state of Illinois it
is estimated that more than 100000 wom-
en- voted.
Pondering these facts, party managers
conclude that, at least in national cleo
tons, the following may be taken for
granted for the present:
Broadly speaking, women vote as the
men vote. There is a "Woman's Party
only in name.
Women pin their faith to the big par
ties and their national policies rather than
to the small parties and strictly moral
issues.
It probably will be less difficult to get
out the woman vote than to get out the
male VOTE
What the women of Chicago did seems
to have been duplicated throughout the
state, both as to the percentage of the
vote recorded and as to political align
ment on the sides taken by their male rela-
tives. On the presidential voting score,
therefore, it would seem that the danger

LET THE PEOPLE BE ON GUARD.

THE election last Tuesday retired from
public service some of the men who
during the past few years have oc-
cupied places of leadership. Sam Gordon,
G. B. Bjornson and John B. Sanborn, who
have headed the progressive movement,
have been retired. L. A. Lydiard, John
A. Larimore, who have been conspicuous
champions of conservatism, have been dis
placed by men whose vision is forward.
L. c. Spooner, the ambitious member
from Stevens county, who has always
played his own game, played that game
once too often and was forced out of pub
lie life along the "sticker'' route.
The complexion of the next House will
be radically changed. Whether the sum
total of the changes will work in the in
terests of the common people or not, re-
mains to be seen. Some reactionary in
fluences have been stopped; some progress
sive influences have been checked. The
future will weigh the gains and losses and
appraise the results.
A new responsibility rests on those who
are left in the fight. There must be Meth
er parley nor compromise. The battle will
be to finish.
The coming legislative session will
either set the clock forward or set it back.
The issue, single and fundamental in it.

ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAR.

John Brown cannot pay me the money

'On account of the war;

The baker reduces the weight of his bread,
The butcher sends steaks that could mus

ION account of the war;
The timer can't patch up my roof where
it leaks,
"On account of the war;"
The car that l bought will not come for
six weeks,
''On account of the war;"
The cost of my shoes mounts each time
that I buy,
The prices of drugs are prodigiously high,
But when / demur l receive the reply.
ION account of the war;
But what can I do when they airily say
con account of the war;

"On account of the war;

When all the world with its warfare is
through,
And they can no longer pass by in review:
con account of the war;"
