also of her careless disregard of social
appointments. she was never permit
ted to miss one with the hairdresser,
the manicure, the masseuse, or the
dozen and one other beauty specialists
who form as important an adjunct to
the stage woman's career as to that OF
the woman of fashion. All this was a
vital part of that plan to which the
mother had devoted herself. No race
horse on the eve Of a Derby was
groomed more carefully than this bud
| ding woman. In preparing her for
masculine conquest the entire family
took a hand. Her prospects, her ac-
| tions, her triumphs, were the main
| topic OF conversation; all other inter-
ests were subordlnated to the matri-
monial quest upon which she had en-
barked, and the three conspirators
lived In a constant state OF eager ex-
pectation over Lorelers fortunes.
Mother and daughter were lettering
over midday breakfast, and Lorelei
according to custom, was recountlng
the incidents OF the previous evening

Jim laughed, and his sister broke out
lrritably:
"Why be so mysterious? Anybody

with scowl. "Well, every time l

IT is unthinkable that so base "a
weapon as that used against NeDhi
l.. Morris should ever be used in a
-ampaign, however hot. 1t is lost
cause which resorts to such methods.
When the judgment and reason Of
heretofore honest men can consent to
and associate in besmirching the char
acter of man like Morris, it is time
to make halt. Such course can
not lead to the confidence and fellow
ship of men.
To us, this is perfectly friendly
interchange of views. We profess 40
monopoly on knowledge and would
run as tho pursued by the furies if
tackled for an argument. Life is
TOO short and friendship too sweet
for us to allow politics to make Us
warped, or to make this experiment of
publishing the opinions of the ladies
of the opposing parties anything brit
pleasant diversion that will make
us think and that will perhaps induce
thought in others. We give you cur

Hughes ard
Woman Suffrage

Women Of Utah, is 1t enough that
we, ourselves, have the franchise +?
Or do we feel an interest in the well
fare Of our sisters less fortunately
situated? II we had it in our power,
with one magnanimous act to give
them the franchise as we enjoy it,
would we hesitate? On the 7th of
November that opportunity will be
given to us. The firm and unequivo-
cal stand taken by Mr.. Hughes on this
subject, makes our duty plain.
He stands for a constitutional a
mendment which will give the fran
cchise to the women all over our fair
land with one grand sweep. He very
logically reasons-knowing the sex as
he does--that the politicians of the
United States will get no rest until
they do settle the question to suit the
ladies'; so why not have it over once
and for all? Then they can go back
to the good old issues Of tariff, annex
alton of the Philippines, and, and,
and be happy ever more. "There-
FORE" says Mr.. Hughes, 81 am for
free and unlimited votes for women
now and forever" or words to that eff
feet; while the most the women. have
been able to get from Mr.. Wilson is
that he is willing to let them fight it
out-if they must have the vote
with the legislatures of each sepa-
rate state. Think of the years and
years of fight and struggle such
course would necessitate. The fran
chise to woman is coming-must come
and why not look at it from Mr..
Hughes philosophical standpoint, and
have it over once for all.
Mrs. Todd, the California suffragist
who spoke in Salt Lake City and Og-
den last week, said this:
"Women are working in body for
Hughes. Not as partisans-the fight
is not party fight--but because we
want the suffrage. We want II as
quickly as possible and we believe
that Hughes will get it for us, be-
,ause he believes in the Susan b.
Anthony amendment which would give
as that right, in the national constitu-
ion"
Ladies, do you see the point? A
vote cast for Hughes is a vote for
every woman in the United States
who has not now the right of fran
chise.
One of the arguments used against
woman suffrage is that we will not
use our vote intelligently. Let us
prove them wrong by casting our bal
OTIS for Charles Evans Hughes and
he straight Republican ticket.

he writes such sweet notes.
He is doubtless open to conviction
Or r. r. could never have converted |
him to Preparedness so easily.
Though he is often caricatured as

Mexicans salute the American flag,

The theory advanced by all Demo

lnds of lives"

Resjunation of MT. Garrison

The resignation of Secretary of War Garrison makes plainer the difficulties in the way of the presidents preparedness program if indeed. he has a program Garr:son's statement in relation 0 his resignation rather indicates that the president settled plan. that he had declined get be bind any plan but would consent to any that might be regarded called national defense plan.
 Mir Garrison strong advocate of the called ~Continental Army plan. In fact he been given credit for having originated it and late two or three weeks ago when the presi- dent getting ready his midwest ern tour, was Believed that would have his earnest support. In fact. it gathered from the presidents rather, indefinite remarks bearing on de- plans, smed from his general appeal O the patriotism of his hearers, that he favored the "Cortinentol" plan. That understood by Col onel Roosevelt who pointed out the folly of it.
 It is not believed that the Continent Army plan was proposed in good faith It could not have been believed by any whose opinion national defense is considering that the plan would work out that it would result in the creation of T reserve that could surely be called the coors in time of need. The reserves, of course could be called but in the language of Hospur But will they cornc?"
