Election Crookedness
Will the Good People Of memphis Stand
For Such Lnfamy to Elect Williams?

I'M LAST Friday night Sheriff Perry raided the
joint of the notorious ex convict, Diggs NoIen.
Taking Nolen and his loaded pistol in charge,
he proceeded then to search Nolen's safe. In this
search he found a quantity of drugs and the registra-
ton certificates of a number Of drug fiends.
Nolen runs an alleged drug store, although he is
not a real druggist. He boasts that he has made $780,
600 out Of this place in a short time.
He has been filling the prescriptions issued by the
police surgeon to the unfortunate victims of the drug
habit. Among the certificates found in the safe were
those of the former police surgeon and his wife.
Diggs Nolen had boosted but a few DAYS before
that he stood in with the present city administration,
who are supporting Williams, and that he had been
promised favors by men standing close to Williams and
who know what they are talking about.
He stated that he had $50 certificates of drug
facts, taken together, are startling in their signifi-
canoe.
Do you want to be lined up with election crooks
who would send men and women dope fiends to the
polls to vote for Joe Williams?
Or would you prefer to associate with the good
people OF Memphis who are standing behind the Citi-
zens' League candidates, who are trying to lift this
city out Of the mire of political corruption?
The day of civic righteousness is at hand!
One term in the city hall by MIR. Paine and the
men associated with him, and this story Of a bundle Of
registration certificates held in the safe Of the ex-con.
vict who boosted he was going to send dope fiends to
the polls will read like a page from ancient history.

Picture for a moment the poor drug addict, driven
to distraction for the lack Of dope standing before
this safe, reaching for a registration certificate and
promising that he would cast his vote for the Williams
ticket if given just one shot Of the drug.
1t is not hard to picture this, for even the dope
was in Che safe along with the certificates.
And why do such creatures back the Williams
ticket?
Are men, even though they make their money
easily off Of the vices and cravings of the people of the
underworld, going to spend their money to put men
In the city hall unless they have assurance that all will
be well with them and their hellish business?
This business will die hard, because it realizes
that its only hope is to defeat MI. Paine and his asso.
ciates, who stand for clean government.
But it will die!
Because, in striking contrast to the drug fiends
who wait on election morning for their dope as a
bride for ballots, are the votes of the body Of the good
people Of Memphis who want to see this a good city
IN which to rear their boys and girls,
Vote for Rowlett Paine and the Citizens League
candidates and forever put a stop to the vicious rule
Of political crooks whose only desire is to see men in
office who will do their bidding or close their eyes to
their misdeeds.
Perhaps you have long wanted the chance to do
something big for the city you love.
You will have that chance on November 6.
Go to the polls with stern discrimination TO put
men into office who will not allow our city government
to be a silent partner in crime and vice.

On these accounts, it is a good
time to keep cool and to attend
strictly to ones own knitting. We

Doctor Burton found, is not we'll
received when the temperature
stands at eighty in the shade.
Arguments, especially family dis.
cussions, should be laid away like
the fannels and the furs in cam.
phor until the return of cooler
days. Chatting and teasing, too.
particularly il the victim is sensi-
tive or thin-skinned, should be
rigidly taboo. 7
Remember, also, that is is the
so-called SILLY Season." Like DR..
Burton's patient signing over the
vanished maiden of his youth, we
are all prone in the summertime
to give way to exaggerated and
extravagant whims and notions.
Sometimes these sweep multitudes
of people like an epidemic. But
criticism or ridicule only serves to
irritate and often to aggravate the
symptoms.
Politics, religion, personal COM
ment and ''pieces of ones mind"
like unripe or overripe fruit and
heavy food, are good things to
avoid so long as Sirius is on the
job.

tract the male sex. l am a steno-
grapher, work all day and work in
my fathers store at night, which he

me to go out and enjoy myself, as
L have ever so many invitations.
When l go out with girls l can have

1 do not go out very often. Now,
Miss Fairfax, mother scolds me and
calls me a regular house hermit.
Can you advise me how to overcome
these ways of mine, as l could have
fine time if l wanted to.
PUZZLED.
Your lack of conversation when
you are with young men doubtless
comes from self-consciousness and a
lack of poise. The only way to over
come this is to go out until you
overcome your timidity. Accept
some of these various invitations
and do not think so much about
yourself.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHE WON'T "MAKE UP"
Dear Miss Fairfax:

! Dear MISS Falf1aS.
About a year ago young lady
and 1 had a quarrel, for which both
were to blame. l wrote Il letter of
apology, but received a very sar-
castle reply.
This young lady and 1 are always
meeting, as We have the same group
of friends, and as this is embarrass-
ing, l should like to be on speaking
terms with her again. However, l
am afraid to try, for fear of a repeti-
ton of the snub l received in the
first place. PUZZLED.
Why not attempt light, airy tone
of banter with the young lady, since
she will not accept your apology
seriously. When girls act this way
it is usually because they "care,"
though often they fail to recognize
this symptom, and keep right on
playing they are mad" If you
succeed in breaking the young lady's
proud reserve by making her laugh,
believe you will have no further
trouble.

orally exquisite that she could not
bear to meet strangers.
Table Rocked Like a Ship
During the call mother entreated
little Cathleen" to come out and
shake hands, but there was no re-
ply from the sensitive one only
more heaving on the part of the
table. Conversation was restric-
ted entirely to the sensitiveness of
this little girl; meanwhile the table,
1aboring like n ship in a storm
told that the subject of discussion
was not unconscious of her impor-
tance.
Finally a man present literally
tore from the doting mother the
topic of little Cathleen," and be-
gan to talk of something rational.
This was too much for the sensi-
tive recluse; she could not stand
the absence of the spot light for q
moment. We noticed an apparent
earthquake under the table, and
she made a dash for the door. NY
impression of her was that she was
about nine feet high. I afterward
learned that 'little Cathleen" whom
I had supposed to be two or three
years old, was really thirteen.
I have always taken a firm stand
against corporal punishment for
children, but there was a f1ickering
moment when little Cathleen" al
most won me over to the side of
the slipper.
All children can be taught to
speak courteously; it is not al
ways easy to take the time to do
this, but it can be done, and it is
so much more necessary than seal
lops on their flannel petticoats,
birthday parties, moving picture
treats and even the revered dancing
school itself.
For a boy may get through life
without learning how to dance the
one-step, but he won't get Through
life if he has bad manners-unless
he has a million or two, and then
they will pass for eccentricity.

TO PLEASE HER PARENTS
Dear Miss Fairfax:

l am going about with a young
man whom l do not love at all, but
am doing so to please my parents,
whom l love very much. l have
known another young man 1 do
like, but my parents object to him
because he is only making S25 per
week. The young man they want
me to marry is well established in
business. e. M. P.
Years ago when women were
pawns on life's chess board, they
married for a home, to please their
parents, to take care of some wild
overs children-everything, appar-
entity except because they were in
love, or to please themselves. Nova
days women don't marry to be ac-
commodating. If they are in love

worthy, they work too and help him

s 1000 900 BUDGET
FOR SCHOOLS IN 1920
Board of Education WrestIes

The sum of $3.50 was requested by
City Superintendent Ettinger for an in
v~estigation Of the bureaus and DEPART
ment Of the Board of Education, which
he said he wanted to have conducted by

porated in the minutes.
