They Wanted to and Did.

Sit up and take notice! In those four Con-
gressional elections in New York, 1902 votes we're
cast, and women cast 1888 of them. There were
practically party issues, nothing in particular to
stir up the women, yet they turned out"
They received their ballots without asking "fool-
ish questions" and cast them quietly, evidently with
minds we'll made up.
Was it because it was their first vote! Was 1t
because they thought that President Wilson ought
to have a majority OF his own party in the House
OF Representatives?
They certainly put squelcher on the argument
that woman doesn't want the ballot. Another GER
tainty is that the President gets that majority.

We are bright people. Wisconsin Con-
gressman has found by digging into figures that
the government spends twenty times as much
to keep commerce open on the Ohio Mississippi
and Missouri rivers to haul 100000 tons twenty
eight miles as it spends on the Great Lakes to
haul 100000 tons 800 miles

One can scarcely imagine a more
agreeable task than to write a book
about Booth Tarkington and one cam
not enjoy a keener zest than to read
Robert c. Holidays effort
OF the author, the man written
about says: IT'S a queer feller seen
by a queerer Teller"
or course the gifted HOosier is not
a queer fellow at alI-but just a nat
ural human being with the supreme
gift of being able to put into type
characters that live in your memory
forever and ever.
If you have read Booth Tarkington's
books no more need he said than that
YOU have been amused, entertained
and delighted. If you followed Pen
rod you have lived your own life
again.
Mr.. Holiday. we are very much IN
your debt for telling us all about such
a lovable queer 'feller'"

That the state acquiesced in gaming when it permitted slot machines to be used in this county was the statement made by Judge Stanford in open court yesterday when he released some dozen men recently taken into custody on their own recognizance intimating that the cases against them would be dis missed or that they would be given suspended sentence.
 Only one man was fined and that was Lon E. Hoeye who had placed machines in various pool halls, and soft drink stands. He paid the $200 fine imposed by the court.
