IGNACE JAN PEDEREWSKI

When the people Of the new Polish
Republic selected professional piano
player to he their Premier, politicians
of the old school smiled tolerantly,
hard-headed men of affairs shook their
heads obviously, well-wishers of Po-
land sighed dejectedly, unthinking peo-
pie laughed at the joke, trained dip
lomats waited and newspapers in ev-
cry country in the world gave the Pol
ish news front page space.
Paderewski, the musician, had been
wonderful; he had thrilled and in
spired thousands in every civilized
land. He stood without a peer as a
pianist. Music lovers of every race,
color and creed had flocked to his con-
certs. They had gladly paid the price.
Paderewski symbolized the extreme of
perfection in the are of blending and
harmonizing the notes of the piano so
that they spelled joy or grief, exalta-
ton or melancholy, sunshine or storm
to millions of people on both hemis-
pheres.
But Paderewski, the intrepid war
rior, Paderewski, the first Premier of
militant young nation in the very
center of the vortex of European rev.
olution, of European diplomacy and
trigue, of the death struggle to main
tain an even balance and permanent
equilibrium between reckless abso-
lutism and untamed Bolshevism!
The thing was impossible. A mu-
sician--a piano player-a tempera-
mentalist chosen to represent liberty,
law and order and the power Of the
common people! Could those long
hands and tapering fingers grasp the
helm of power and guide the ship Of
state in storm? The world was in.
credulous.
But the promoters of the new Pol.
ish Republic did not hesitate-they
knew that the new Poland must be
sold to the world overnight. They
knew that they did not have time te
educate a world concerning the states.
manship or ability, or patriotism OF
honesty of any man unknown outside
of Poland. Such a name at the head
of the new Polish nation would have
meant nothing to the world except
another revolution.
But new nation headed by man
who had come in contact with an au-
dience made up of the leaders Of
thought in almost every city and
town of the civilized world--a man
whose face and figure and reputation
were known to millions in every coun-
try, at once assumed reality and vital
ity in the minds of thinking people ev-
erywhere. That is why Ignace Jan
Paderewski was selected to be the
first Premier of the new Republic Of
old Poland.

old and over, total of 212,957 max
ing that metropolis their home, but
probably not over a half will ever
take the trouble to register, unless
their husbands, fathers, brothers, or
other male relatives are politicians
and remind them that registration is
necessary before they can vote.
Kansas City will in November,
1920, have 82,262 women old enough
to vote who will only have to confess
that they are over Fl years old be-
fore their names and addresses are
entered upon the registration books.
Joplin will come forward next reg
ular election day with women pop
ulation of 10,137 81 years old and ov-
err; st. Joseph, 1888, and Springfield
! with 10,496. Other Missouri cities
which have a population of over 1000
of women 81 years old and over, are
jefferson City, Carthage, Webb City,
Sedalia, Cape Girardeau, Moberly,
Hannibal, independence and two or
three others.
If the women vote the same way as
men do, their votes for president will
not change the political complexion of
Missouri to any extent. If, however,
they take the reins into their own and
pay no attention to the requests of
their male relatives, the State may go
one way for the State ticket and the
other way for President.
On the day that women will cast
their first vote in Missouri for pres
ident there will be submitted to the
male voters of the State constitu-
tional amendment fully enfranchising
the sex so that they can vote full
ticket. Only men, however, can vote
on this proposition there and also on
all other similar matters until the
amendment is adopted, for the reason
that the State Constitution at present
restricts voting on state affairs, to
"male citizens 81 years old and over"

THEN ROAR

A leopard once met lion down by
a water hole in the jungle and said,
"Why do you go about the jungle
roaring the way you do?"
The lion said, 81 believe in advertis-
ing. If it had not been for my adver-
Using | would never had been made
king of beasts. 1t pays to advertise,
and | never fail to grasp an oppro-
tunity to do it."
It so happened that rabbit who
was crouching down in some weeds
heard this conversation and appreciat-
ed the logic of the thing. Next day
as he was nibbling at tree, he filled
his lungs, threw. back his Head ane
let out what he expected to be roar;
it resulted in a high-pitched squeak
A fox happened to be on the Other
side of the tree, and hearing the
squeak, went around to investigate
AS result he ate the rabbit.
Now the moral of this parable is.
it is folly to advertise if you can't
deliver. First make yourself capable
of delivering the goods, then ROAR

SHORT CHATS WITH MERCHANTS

Confidence is the keynote in sue
cessful advertising.
A small advertisement may keep
you out of big hole.
Any store that can't be a better
store ought to close up.
Let the experience of every day
strengthen you in better way.
A cranky clerk is worse than bad
egg-the egg can be explained.
To be sure of business for tomorrow
be good advertiser today. -
Reaching more subscribers, will let
you subscribe more to charity.
Don't envy what others are doing;
seek your own way to do it better.
Good advertising needs no latch
key--it never goes home to rest.
The very best way to improve busi-
ness is to mind your own business.
Just the fact that you are keeping
up-to-date has an advertising value.
Adversely rightly considered, may
be the mother of advertising pros
perity.
Advertising is never too costly if
it contributes to permanent success.
Rest assured that a good advertis-
ing campaign this year, will spur you
on to a better one next year.
1t is poor merchant who tolerates
a poor publisher. 1t means poverty
to the community which tolerates
either.
The merchant who really knows he
will succeed, usually convinces the
publics of the fact and so complies
their trade.

LEGISLATION FAVOR
ABLE TO WOMEN
(By A. T. Edmonston.l

jefferson City, Mo-, May 12.-Par-
tial equal suffrage bestowed on Mis-
souri, women by the Fiftieth General
Assembly which has just concluded its
extensive, exhaustive legislative la
bors, grants the privilege of voting
the presidential portion of one Of the
1920 party tickets to that portion of
the 944,201 members of the sex, Il
years and over, in the State, born in
this country, or who have become nat
uralized through marriage, or through
their fathers, if foreign born, having
complied with the laws which confer
citizenship. In cities, such as st.
Louis and Kansas City where registra-
ton is required of all voters, women
will have to register, just as men do
now, before they can legally vote.
But this little technicality need not
put fear into the hearts of damsels
who have passed beyond the Chicken
state and now come under the cate
CORY of cold maids", and others who
have conscientious or other scruples
against making it publicly known
chow old Ann is" for the reason that
when it comes to years, all that is
necessary to announce is that the. age
of 81 (and then some) has been
reached, and the facial appearance of
such suffragists will undoubtedly bear
out the assertion.
With ten per cent Of the women in
the State 81 years and over eliminat-
ed for technical and other reasons
from those legally old enough to. vote,
it leaves 849,781 Missouri maidens,
old and young maids, and matrons ell
igible, year from next November, to
swing the State into the proper cleo
toral column for president.
With the masculine portion of Mis-
souri's population outnumbering that
of the other sex by five per cent, the
assertion means that in November,
1920, there will be 892,270 men II
years old and over in the State eli
gible to vote. With the women vot-
ers added the two forces represent
total possible Missouri presidential
vote next year of 1,742,051, providing
that all, if legally entitled to do SO,
exercise this great American privi-
lege then.
In November, 1916, male inhabi-
tants Of Missouri 81 years old and ov-
er, including all legally entitled to
vote and those deprived of the privi-
lege through technical reasons, num-
bered 1888, 243, but only 86,769 avail
ed themselves of the privilege, leaving
96,579, including absentees from the
State, and about 10000 either in pris.
ons or otherwise legally disqualified
as voters, or nearly II per cent who
did not vote.

the largest city Of the State, has the
largest number Of women II years

Message Not Received.

Chicago. Jan. 17.-When this dis
patch was shown today TO Garret Gar
ret, managing editor Of the New York
Tribune, he said:
The Tribune has never received any
such statement from Paris and none
even remotely resembling SUCH u state
ment as was denied by President Will
son has ever been published in the
Tribune"
From this incident It appeared that,
Notwithstanding assurances to the con-
trary, dispatches filed by American
correspondents in Paris apparently are
still being censored and perhaps with
held by the French authorities. The
Paris dispatch shows that the cable
addressed to the Tribune was shown
to President Wilson and evidently was
suppressed at the order of the French
government.
