laboratory in which the most
advanced experiment woman
has ever made in government
is already in progress. Dis
patches which told how, late
in the city CAMPAIGN, Laura,
wife of Mayor Starcher, a
nominee for reelection, ap-
reared as a candidate against
him and rode him down and
overwhelmed him at the polls
described only a partial phase
of the feminine triumph in the
election.
The wives of several other
city officials also appeared as
rival candidates against their
husbands and we're accorded a
like gratifying victory at the
hands of an intelligent and dis
eliminating electorate.
Other towns have had wo-
men chiefs of police. Other
| towns have had mayors. Some
may have had a woman mayor
and a woman chief of police
simultaneously. But when
Umatilla inaugurated Mrs
Laura Starcher as mayor, on
Jan. 10, it inaugurated also a
woman recorder, a woman
treasurer and four women
members of the council. Mrs.
Mavor Starcher's address con-
tanned corroding irony on man
government and affirmed the
innate and unquestioned supe-
riority of petticoat government.
There is one holdover male
member of the council and in
proof of her faith she left him
without any assignments in the
appointment of the council
committees. In further proof
she announced that no town
marshal, masculine or femi-
nine, would be named. Under
government of women, by wo-
men and for women, none
would be needed, she says.
Umatilla women have the
courage of their convictions.
They are real vanguard pickets
on the direct line of march
with an incomparably greater
! power for advancing the move
, ment than a childish patrol
around the White House gates

THE BOILED DINNER

I'm an effort to save his con-
ID stituents from the high
cost of living terror the
health commissioner Of New
York has recommended a re-
turn TO the boiled dinner, once
the star reliance in millions Of
homes but now too often re-
garded with scorn as being a
manifestation Of plebiaD taste.
Whatever his name may be
the Gotham health commissl-
oner is a man Of sense. so much
so that he must be Of western
origin. When a man is really
hungry what is 50 delightful
as a good mulligan or some
other form of honest-to-GOd
food. One cause of the high
living problem lies in the fact
the culinary processes are in
nuenced bv considerations of
the eye rather than the stom-
Ech.
