NAME YOUR CANDIDATE
FOR TWIN FALLS MAYOR
BY Request, the Times Invites Pref
erential Vote Upon Candidate For
Mayor Of Twin Falls.

AT time conceded to be epoch
making in the transition of Twin Falls
from town to city, there has seemed
to be disinclination on the part of
leading citizens to allow their names
to be used in connection with the
highest municipal office. This should
not be so. Such citizens owe as posi-
tive duty to serve their community
when called upon as does the man of
military age to serve his country; and
the only assumption that does not i'm
pugn their patriotism, is that they do
not believe in the genuiness of the
call.
To the end that some actual and
practical evidence of preference may
be made, and recorded, and in con-
formity to request, the TIMES ap-
ponds hereto a blank ballot. Each
voter is asked to cut it out, write in
your preference for candidate for
Mayor at the forthcoming city cleo
ton, sign your name and mail to or
leave at the TIMES office. The names
appended to these ballots are only for
evidence of good faith and will not
be published or known. The result
will be announced in Sunday issue,
April IS. There is neither religion
money nor politics in this-just an at
tempt to find and measure public
opinion.

public crusade and by an educational

has been carried out substantially. The
address of Miss Mary E. Brown last
evening on 1.-THE Duties of a Police

1.-The Child a. d Moral Welfare" were
both of great interest and of educa-
tional value.
The meeting will adjourn this af-

M. Hall of the Twin alls-Salmon riv-

tenths feet above the guage, with a
total of 1920 feet available, a gain for
the week of 2190 feet. The amount of
water in the dam was almost exactly
the same as a year previously, as at
that time the big spring runoff had
filled the dam to a great extent. This
year with much more snow there has
been no spring thaw up to the time
that the last measurement was taken.

Harry X. Thaw
Attempts Suicide.

Harry X. Thaw. the reputed
Piltsburg millionaire, who killed
Sanford White, on the Madison
Square roof garden, in New York, a
few years ago and was sentenced
to the Matteawan prison for the
criminal insane, from which he
was released perhaps a year ago,
has again gotten himself into the
criminal limelight by a case of kid
mapping in New York. Thaw made
his escape from New York and was
finally located in Philadelphia,
where he attempted suicide by
slashins his throat and wrist with a
razor. Failing to kill himself, a le-
gal battle was commenced to pre-
vent his return from Pennsylvania
to New. York--which meant more of
Thaw's money for the lawyers.
Thaw is evidently out Of balance
mentally.

At the time this article is written
there is pending in the Legislature
of Tennessee a bill which grants
presidential and municipal suffrage
to women. By the time this article
IS printed and gets to our readers
the bill may have become law CT
It may have failed to pass either or
both Houses.
In either event the work of the
suffrage leaders who led the fight
commands respect for Its unassum-
ing strength and dignity. With
out show or ostentation the cam
paign was conducted along lines in
dicatine q combination Of unusual
political sagacity and judicial fair
ness, There was no pettiness, no
peanut methods, no partisan favor
itism. The merits Of the cause
were argued in an appeal to all po-
litical factions. All political parties
had endorsed the principle and the
suffragists had a right to ask all
members Of the Legislature. regard
less Of political affiliations. to sup
port the measure and to expect it
of them.
The Sixtieth General Assembly Of
Tennessee Is making history. That
history will be written upon the
Journals Of the two Houses. We

keeping Of the faith upon the suf-
fraee issue upon the part Of all
Tennessee men who are members

Development Of
Coal Resources,

| Plans for the building Of thirteen
miles of new railroad into the coal
producing section Of Grundy county
have just been approved by Presi-
dent Peyton Of the Nashville Chat
tanooga & St. Louis Railway, and
already the big steam shovels Of the
construction forces are on the ground
ready to start work.
The new line will be an extern
sion to the tracy City Brancy Of the
system and will extend from Coal
mont. the present terminus. in a
northeasternly direction to Mill
Creek, Tatesville. The construction
Of this line will open for develop
ment more than $4,000 acres Of
coalbearing area. The coal is from
the Sewanee vain, but is said to be
a harder coal than that mined at
Tracy City or Whitwell.
The preliminary survey for this
extension was made something over
year ago, and the possibilities Of
the development was apparent at
once. The mines will be operated
by the Tennessee Consolidated Coal
Company, successors to the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany, and the work incident to the
opening of the mines will be start
ed in time to have the mines ready
for operation as soon as the thir-
teen mile extension is completed
which, with favorable conditions,
should be within the next eight
months.
The coal mines at Tracy City
have been operated since 1858, and
the average daily output for this Pc
Rod has been 800 tons. The new
mines which will be opened BY
reason Of the new railroad, it Is
said, will produce even a greater
tonnage than the mines at Tracy
City.
The construction of the thirteen
miles of new railroad, with the ex-
ception Of the building Of the Lewis
burg & Northern, is the first really
new railroad construction in Ten
nessee in years.

Tennessee has a glorious history.
Whatever be the fate Of the suffrage
bill, Tennessee women have shown
their mettle. They got there first
in putting it squarely up to the pol
iticians to show how much Of sim
certify was in the platforms Of the
National parties. Not every state
can confer as much is Tennessee
without constitutional amendment.
The glory Of the Tennessee women
lies in the fact that they saw their
opportunity and pursued it.
