He's a model for humanity:
In pictures we behold
A face of fine urbanity.
With power well controlled.
And our studious contemplation
OF his portrait courage lends,
In the campaign publication
That is managed by his friends.
He is wall-eyed and ungainly
And his garments do not fit,
And his features show you plainly
That he never thinks a. bit
For defat he's surely slated.

Inefficient Legislatures.
Edited by a Suffragette.

About the least representative and
most inefficient bit of governmental
is the average state legis-
lature. Federal officials and munich
pal affairs command a much higher
quality of brains in their adminstra-
ton than is discovered in average leg
islatures. One legislature spends time
and money in passing laws that the
next legislature spends time and
money to repeal. These inefficient
statutes affect men and women who
compose the people of the state. Mere
boys in years, and infants in expert
ence, are frequently noticed in legisla-
tive bodies, especially in those states
where the legislative term is short,
and the electorate not of high de-
gree of literacy. What foolish GUS
tom which sends these immature repre-
sentatives to enact laws beyond their
comprehension, and refuse, big brain
ed women who would occupy with dig
nifty and credit positions in the lsgis-
lature. When the ballot shat come
finally to women in the south the per-
sonnet of many legislative bodies will
