Chicago Election Stills
Anti-Suffrage Argument

The last election In Chicago disposes OF two
NJ tho most cherished statements OF the anti
suNragist among men, that women would not
vo,e n they had the chance. do not want to- In
fact and that things would be no better II they
did vote.
Fiftyfour per cent OF the registered women
voted and 6sfe OF the men.
TbIs IN a good showing. for II is matter new
IN women and which she Is little backward
about using.
The best candidate up for office. Alderman
Kinbail who was the choice OF good government
forces of the city was elected In spite Of the fact
that Mayor Thompson had announced that he
would defeat HIM
AT the election last year two OF the best MEM
hers of the council were elected by the women.
The league OF which Charles r. Merriam. pro-
fessor Of political science in the University OF
Chicago, is head, made recommendations to 80
of the IS wards
In seven wards there was no difference be-
tween the votes Of the women and men for good
government candidates,
In Ave wards the mems vote was slightly high
or owing TO the fact that Socialist was in
dorsed and in IL wards larger percentage a
women than men voted for the candidate, ir-
respective Of party.
These wards. OF course. included all sorts Of
women In every walk Of life.

Now then. what are the Republicans gong 10
do about it,
Here they have aggressive power. which they
need TO auash and defeat the enemy-too mucn
aggression and too much selfcentered assurance

The breach between the Republicans and Pro
gressfyes has never been really healed. Iney are
between the devil and the deep sea.
Let US ask IL Mr.. Roosevelt has ever been
radical in the sense OF arriving at the root or
cause OF any thing or il he has been able 10 ap-
ply any remedy but the big stick.
AZ present he is in the plight OF the Gagged
lion who roars and dashes his head against the
bars.
If the bars are removed. other things may
happen
The Republican party knows all this and ],
knows the American people and II has its hand
upon the public pulse.
Many of the farmers and men IN small towns
who are most interested in domestic problems
are not in sympathy with Theodore's great mood
There il also steadily growing sentiment
among Americans that war is shameful and to
be avoided al almost any cost.
The issue now is foreign policy and the de
sire OF the great sane. commonplace American
public is that may be steered away from the
rocks which would sink the ship OF state and re-
place IL with battle ship.
The Republicans know this well but there ~
no strong candidate TO whom they can turn but
the tempestuous Theodore, and whether he
would be approved by the voters, big stick and

The IDEAL OF sound, refreshing

There are several causes Of this
unt'me'y wakefulless. Some of the
causes are mental. others physical
Prominent among the physical
causes Is hunger

observations of DR.. James J. Walsh,

smacks of servility, cringing and favor

You say you get your moneys worth

no man can afford to sell. To exchange
them for money is a species of prosti-
tuition.
Tipping is vicious practice imported

prevails. It is obnoxious to any sound
