Quite a number of pupils who

AS 10 ADAMS RIB.

Governor Ferguson. Of Texas, led
the unsuccessful fight against wo-
men suffrage in the. National. Demo
cratic Convention. Among other
things which. had rather q medtae-
val fling, he said that woman's SUI
coordinate status was settled by the
method OF her creation; she was
made from q rib! Years ago an
able preacher drew from this the op-
posite moral. He said In substance:
Woman was not taken from name
head, to be her ruler, nor from his
foot, to be his inferior, but from his
side, to be his comrade and his
equal" .....
When the 831 delegates to the
Methodist General Conference went
on record for woman suffrage the
other day with only six dissenting
votes. they served notice upon Gov
ernor Ferguson that there is more

This requirement does not absolye the
railroad companies from blame for
maintaining open road crossings without
gates or signals or f1agmen in districts
of heavy road use The fact that mo-
florists are careless, that they will take
chances, that they will continue to rush
their cars upon the rails in foolish
effort to cross without checking, does
not render it less imperative that every
dangerous crossing should be safe
guarded
At least fifty yards away from the
tracks on each side of railroad grade
crossing there should be conspicuous
sign, legible by day and night, warning
road users of the presence of car line
close at hand. and enjoining all mo-
florists to check their ears before touch
ing the rails. Then, assuredly, whatever
the failures of the railroads themselves,
the motorists would be definitely on
their warning.

BRYAN and Election,

The debate in the Senate Friday was
assurance in itself that campaign is
on, and warming up. Each party
quizzed the other about campaign ex-
penses. Each seemed convinced that the
polls would require extra guarding this
year Look out for schemes for buying
the election!
This sort of thing has become gag
Men indulge in it without meaning AL
they say. They convince nobody, skcs-t
of the truth of the ola aphorism, aisas
men are but boys overgrown. You're an

SCHOOL
Nothing is likelier than that campaign
funds this year will be large. Money is
abundant The stake is enormous. What
apathy at one time existed is rapidly
disappearing, and not a vestige will
remain month hence. Politics is the
wear. This means that nearly every
body will take what Mr.. Bryan calls
"a heart interest" in what is going on.
The question will be, how much do you
want Mr.. Wilson or Mr. Hughes to come
out ahead of the pollf
And large funds will be necessary for
uses entirely legitimate. Canvassing an
empire the size of the United States for
votes is very large order; and when
undertaken should be done thoroughly.
No picayunish features are permissible
A national chairman who should lose his
fight by reason of cutting the corners
too closely would become an object of
derision. His own side would execrate
him.
Said Mr.. Penrose, very seriously: at
is reported that it cost the democratic
party a million dollars to elect Wood

very promptly: "How about the $780,
600 spent to elect William Mckinley in
1867" These Mckinley figures are low,
Twenty years ago the democratic lead
ers put the cost of the Mckinley election
at 100000. Why the drop!
As . matter Of fact, the election is
not at all likely to be bought. The
electorate is not for sale. If it were, a
six-million-dollar campaign fund would
Be q mere bagatelle. That would price
voters at an insultingly low figure.
But, about this time, in the lingo OF
the old almanacs, look out for charges
and counter charges of meditated cor.
ruption, and Of schemers scheming; Of
warnings about wolves prowling, and
sheepfolds exposed; Of party strong
boxes bursting with tainted coin and all
the rest Of it. It Is verse Of the song
but only in the song. At most, it but
entertatns.
