publican
(By Scott C. Bone.)

Why should the newly enfranchis-
ed women voters enroll as Repub-
licans?
Why Because they would still be
denied the right OF suffrage but TO.
the Republican party. A Republican
Congress passed the national suff-
rage amendment and it's ratification
is insured by Republican legislatures
OF Republican states.
Why should labor, organized and
unorganized, enroll in support of the
Republican cause?
Why? Because the Republican
party, in Nation and State, has uni
formiy been mindful Of the interests
Of the working classes and all legis-
lation beneficial to labor today on
the statute books is directly due and
traceable to the Republican party.
The record shows that the Republi-
can party is the party of good wages
and good times.
Why should business, little busi-
ness, big business and all kinds of
business, enroll in support of the
Republican party?
Why? Because the Republican
party is the party OF prosperity. 1t
directs and conducts the affairs of
the country in a business-like way.
1t is the party of efficiency and cap
acity This is not mere assertion.
1t is a demonstrated fact.
Why should people generally, re-
gardless of sex, occupation, business
or profession, align themselves with
the Republican party and give it.
united support?
Why? Because the Republican
party is the party of the people--not
class party or sectional party,
but party of and for all the people.
AS il was in the beginning, in t. :
days of the immortal Lincoln, SO ii is
today. 1t is constructive. upbuilG-
ing party-not a party of waste and
extrayagances and destruction. It
stands for protection as championed
by the martyred Mckinley and for
fair play and the square deal as
taught by the immortal Roosevelt
Why be Republican, working,
virile, vigilant and active Republi-
can
Why? Because being Republic
an, will mean that you are contribut-

Republic and doing your full duty

Twenty-fve Years OF Movies.

The movies are just % years old.
The institution of the moving pic
ture, like the telephone, the talking
machine and the automobile has
grown with the suddenness of a
prairie fire. 1t now occupies an i'm
portant part of civilized life. Aside
from affording amusement to the
common people as they have never
before had amusement, il has dem
onstrated its fitness for scientific
and educational service. But most
interesting of all is it's contribution
to history. BY it's mechanism we
have been able to see in st. Paul the
atres actual battles in progress in
France and Russia as they appeared
to observers and participants on the
scene.
A retrospect of the quarter of a
century Of the career of the motion
picture invites speculation as to
what will be the status of that in
situation a quarter of century
hence. BY then. we may hope, its
possibilities will be more usefully,
intelligently and artistically employ
ed. 1t cannot be denied that it's ar
ustic achievement at present have
reached high degree which the flu
ture may find it difficult to surpass.
But in the matter of it's dramatic
content there are worlds to be done.

Bart Hurley, a National Guard for eleven years and for the past year and a half with the 56th regiment, arrived in this city last night with a pack of German souvenirs among which is a small book, like a diary, written in German script.

He said that the United States army lost more men in the second battle of the Marne than in any other battle of the war The 102d Infantry, he said, should be given a great celebration when they come back, because it was they who saved Paris. He said that the 26th New England division will go down in history for their brave fight ing.
 Private Hurley is here on a furlough and will return to his camp tomorrow.

The Sap of Spring.

When the sap of spring Is bursting the letters of winter the general hu- man heart beats high. A few of us philosophers receive amid the rich but sober tints of autumn n happiness that we would not exchange for any other season, but we are a minority, and small. The head of one of the most important departments at Washington, who thinks about the processes of man kind, has a theory that makes q regu- lar curve of the relation of the seasons to the appetite for war. As the buds open, every nation thinks 1t is on the edge of victory. This curve rises for a while, begins to decline in the summer and gets well down in the autumn. The period therefore, when statesmen, if they had decided to make peace, could do 1t most easily. Is from the days of goldenrod and autumn browns to just before the greening of the buds. The story of coal, tragic story to the poor, helps this curve, but there is in 1t much of sheer poetry, in- dependent of more solid things.-Nor- man Hapgood in Leslie's.

Hurley Of Yannigans
 Tells ValOr Of 1O2nd
PSYCHOLOGIST
 QUESTIONS MEN

New York, Jan. 29-In an effort to find for each returned soldier work for which his ability fits him, the New York War Camp Community Service, which is cooperating with the Federal Employment Service, has employed a psychologist to question the men. Through a series of Ques- tions it is planned to assign each SOL dier to the exact work he is best able to perform.
 It was said that many of the re- turning soldiers sought jobs for which they were not qualified, while many inquired whether 1t would be better for them to finish their edu- cation before seeking employment The psychologist is expected to be able to assign the men to the proper employment or give them he right advicet as to their future.
