A Few Words lin
Regard To One
Joe Garcia, IL

Joe is a deVii-In print shop.
He is more than that, Mercury,
a messenger for whatever gods
there be; factotum and he is
quite efficient in all of these capa-
cities. His full and true name is
Jose Garcia and he answers to no,
other on Sundays and feast days
of the church. Joe is twelve or
fourteen years Of age and he has
been a contributor to the prosper
ity and delight of The Republican
for about year.
He is natural born socialist;
he may sometime be a bolshevist.
He is the most democratic of "our
younger set" He recognizes no
social distinctions, such as come
of birth, health, education or acct
dent. He is the most aPproachabIe
of individuals. He would slap a
president or king on the back
and make him feel at ease in his
presence, even as he would feel
himself in the presence of the most
powerful monarch. The man in
broadcoth or denim looks the same
to him. To Joe. dress suit at a
hog killing or overalls at a Wedding
are mere matters of taste in which
any one is free to indulge.
Joe is not, however, as careless
about money matters as he is about
conventions. The other day pat
ron who had had lot of circulars
printed, wanted boy for their
H. L, - -
lagos; he wanted bright boy and
naturally he turned to Joe.
Joe did not know whether he
could undertake the mission; his
duties in this shop are very re-
sponsibIe ones; he didn't want it
said in after years that his ah
sence on a private business day
had resulted in the balIing up of
things about The Republican.
Moreover, the business manager OF
The Republican was sick and Joe
feared it might not be right to
leave at such a time.
However, he would consider it
and possibly he could bring in his
smaller brother to hold things
down for a day. In any considera
ton of business proposition, the
subjects of mpensation, remun-
Grafton and qud pro quo naturally
become entangIed. How much
would he get for scattering those
circuIars?.
The patron said he would allow
him the same per diem The Re-
publican paid him-and there
would be the outing, riding around
in an automobile with his expenses
paid.
That seemed at the time, attrac
tive, but little later Joe had an
other thought and he hunted up
his prospective employer. He told
him that his regular daily salary
an The Republican was 81 but on
Monday the paper paid him S.,
MONDAY, by the way, was the day
when the circulars were to be dis
tributed.) The patron had never
before heard of that kind of
wage scale and he inquired why
the unusual salary bulge on Mon
day. Joe though quick under the
hat was not quick enough for that
and could only let the statement
ride as it lay.
Later he remembered with re-
greet that he might have said
reasonably that he was given a
dollar more for his Monday SER
vice because, having rested on
Sunday, he could work harder and
earn more on Monday.

ARGUMENT
FROM AEDB's SPEECH

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. president
Of the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association, who led representa-
tives of that body at the hearing be-
fore the House committee on woman
suffrage today, quoted as an argument
in favor OF the federal suffrage amend
ment the position taken in a recent
speech by Representative E. Y. Webb
of North Carolina, when he pointed out
that the submission of the prohibition
amendment to the states was mot
prohibition vote. but a question OF
referendum"
Mr.. Webb, Mrs. Gait said, emphasized
the fact that if the states do not want
to adopt the measure the "wets" are
not hurt; il they do. 1t is the duty OF
Congress to submit it to them, as that
is the only way In which they can
change the Constitution which they
themselves made, reserying to thein-
selves the right to amend IL. r
The same thing applied to the sur
frage amendment, Mrs. Gait declared.
Mr. Webb has not yet announced ms
conversion to suffrage, but he cannot
she says, consistently oppose the SUI
frage amendment on the ground OF
states rights, for he could not defend
such a position against MS own pre-
vious speech.

chairman of the national association.
