SEES VOTE AT HAND

s"Woman's part in the world war;"
is the topic under discussion In parlor
and office. kitchen and factory. during
these days Of enlistment. when the
young men are answering with loyal
eaegrness the gall to arms. An in
formal canvass Of many OF the pro-
fessional and business men of Mis-
soula Yesterday. showed marked
agreement with the principles laid
down by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Il
few days ago in a public address in
Philadelphia. DIR. Shaw said:
''Woman's part Is to fight at home"
said Doctor Shaw. Tin the nursery. the
kitchen and the garden. The great
duty Of women is to care for the COM
ing generation. to keep the home
happy and pleasant"
America must not let the war be
used as 2 pretext for putting children
to work In shops and factories. she de-
clared. In a strong plea against child
labor. There is no necessity so great
as to justify such a course. she said.
Let the children enjoy their natural
right to a happy childhood. II It be-
comes necessary for women to take the
place Of men in store and office. let
them receive equal privileges and
ray with men. said Doctor Shaw.
Let America learn a lesson from
the experience Of France" she said,
and enfranchise women at the begin
ming Of the war rather than wait until
the end. The principle OF democracy
demands the recognition Of the equal
ity Of women"
Two old fetiches are dying as re-
suit of this war;" she asserted. "They
are the doctrines Of the divine right of
kings and Of the divine right Of sex.
The two are dying together. Never
again will one man have the power to
lead 100000 men out to die, and
never again will women be ground
down as an inferior race Of beings.
With the death of these outworn fe-
tiches will come new and larger de-
mocracy, great spiritual force which
shall, transform human character"

Night Attacks Spectacular.
"The most beautiful sight in all the
war II the night attack" said MIR.
Cole. .'FYrst the attackers start shoot.
ing star shells of all varieties of colory
which light up the sky. Then the
trench mOrtars open fire. shooting
aerial bombs. and this homba rdment
is interspersed with the constant sput-
ter Of machine guns. and the inter-
mittent cracking of rifles. Then come
the men. charging with reckless fury
and bowling like demons, so loud that
they can be heard thousands OF feet
up in the air over all the cannon fire.
Big shells come hurting through the
air with swishing sound. while the
very atmosphere is full Of shrapnel.
Charging Behind Gas.
Just ahead of the charging men are
the tanks Before the tanks were
used, we used to shoot gas into the
German trenches before charging, but
the tanks are better than gas. You
can see the gas clouds floating along
just over the ground, and the forces
using the gas must have the wind with
them. or else they are the worst suf-
fcrers themselves. About a minute
after the gas smell hits your nostrils
you are out 10 stay out FOR long time
Things happen in these charges tina,
seem absolutely impossible to those
who have never been in action
Tanks Tremendous Things.
THE tanks are the most effective
Instruments yet used in this war. One
Of them can do more damage than two
battalions Of soldiers. and they will

crew of seven men. a pilot, who con
trolls the whole set of intricate ma :
chinery. and six gunners. who operate
the machine guns and the three inch
guns which arm the tank. The tank
travelling at a speed of about five miles
an hour. goes through shell cratcrs
trenches, bitches and supposedly i'm.
pregnable barbed wire fences with
equal ease. The Germans have neve,
been able to overcome their fear OF thu

Of the biggest factors in this war.
Wounds Are Envied.
1.-THE best part Of the war is getting
wounded. A favorite expression Will
! the British soldiers when they 60 into
the trenches is 'Blime hope a blight
err gets me today. Tho Tommics ar,
a happy 60 lucky bunch. even though
they 60 crazy when they charge. an,
they think a lot Of the English hos

A POLITICAL FORECAST

Down in the Fourteenth District
they are talking of Congressman Jo-
seph ]. Russell for Governor. Mr..
Russell is one Of the best known, most
influential and hardest working mem
bers of the Missouri delegation in
Congress, where he is serving his
fifth term He was born and reared
in Mississippi county, and before 60
ing to Congress had distinguished
himself in the State, and was elected
Speaker of the Thirty-fifth General
Assembly, for which position he was
placed in nomination by Champ
Clark, now Speaker of the National
House of Representatives.
Though the campaign for the next
Governor Of Missouri is three years
off, this mention of Mr.. Russell for
the Democratic nomination for that
position is no idle compliment, but
rather the foreshadowing of a most
likely political event. The suggestion
of his possible, even probable, candi-
dacy does not come from him, for
though he has been in the public eye
for a number of years he is not an
office-seeker, but it comes from the
people who know him best and most
intimately in his personal and bust
ness relations. He is a man of prac-
tical judgment in public affairs and
fine business qualifications, which,
with his intimate knowledge of the
law, known integrity of purpose and
State pride, make him strong per-
sonage for any public position.
He may, however, elect to stay in
Congress, where his effective service
is recognized and appreciated, for he
is the surest winner the Democrats
could name in the politically doubt
full Fourteenth District, or he may
elect to retire from public life to re-
cuperate his health, which has been
somewhat impaired by his close at
tention to duty and labors at the Ma
tional capital. We don't know that he
has intimated, even to his closest
friends, what he may do, but if he
should consent to be candidate for
Governor, he will find the whole of
the Southeast Missouri Democracy
lined up for him.

ORDER FOR DRAFT TO BE
ISSUED IN A FEW DAYS

Washington, June 19.-The day of
draft is drawing near. In a few days,
President will issue his draft procla-
nation and prescribe the methods to
be followed. With Wyoming and sew
en- counties in Kentucky unreported
9,611, 811 men have registered.
The first real business after the
Presidents proclamation will be that
of setting up vast machinery of ex-
emption boards, and in this respect
there is going on countrywide
scramble. The law prescribes that
these boards shall be named by the
President. AS there will be board
for each 5000 of population, it OBJ
viously is impossible for him to make
selections directly, and the plan has
been adopted of having the Govern
ors of the States make up lists of
recommendations Here is where pol
itics, pulls and influences are being
worked.
Many indorsed applications for
places on the boards are being made
direct to Washington, as if member
ship were patronage to be handed out
to the faithful. The Provost Mar
shall General is tabulating all the
names received and from them
will have to be picked, the men who
will deal in the first instance with
the draft and exemptions.
The original plan was to have the
local boards made up of county and
city officials, but that has been large
ly abandoned in favor of civilians.
Many county officials dependent up
on popular support for election did
not relish the idea of responsibility
for exemptions. The law says each
board shall have three or more men,
bers, to be chosen from among the To-
cal authorities or other citizens re-
siding in the local area. Therefore,
the President can choose either.
Over these local bodies will be re-
viewing boards, one for each Federal
Judicial district, which will exercise
dual functions of court of appeals
in ordinary cases, and original juris-
diction in determining the difficult
problem of what persons engaged in
industries, including agriculture, are
to stay at home in order to maintain
the military establishment and the ma
tional interest. These will be the great
and all-powerful boards. 1t is re-
ported that all political suggestions
have been cast aside and that Fed
eral Judges have been asked to make
the recommendations to the Presi-
dent regarding the makeup of the re-
viewing boards.
The Presidents call probably will
name more than million as the
number of men to be selected in the
first draft, at least $4,000 of whom
will form a reserve.
