In adopting a platform at the
Democratic State convention last
week the party bosses took their
usual fling at Woman Suffrage, put
ting a plank in opposing it. The
old ring politicians have just cause
for being afraid of Woman Suffrage.
they see it an end of their reign.
These same party bosses who
think Woman Suffrage is such an
awful thing that it should not be
spoken of in polite society, evidently
consider race track gambling a bene-
fetal institution, as they have never
a word to say about it, and yet it has
been kicked out of every State in the
Union except two, and dear old
pious, liquor ring ruled Maryland is
one of these! Liquor ring ruled?
Yes, because both Democratic and
Republican Gubernatorial nominees
have cast their lot with the discred-
tied and defunct liquor ring of the
State, and practically waved red
element, by taking stand against
the federal prohibition amendment.
This is food for thought for every
voter, to allow the little band OF
Baltimore whiskeites to dictate their
policy to both party nominees and
get away with it.
Verify, Maryland is progressing
backward in political questions of
the times, when State after State is
putting itself on record. by ratifying
both the prohibition amendment and
woman suffrage.
And what will the States puny
efforts avail in the face of public
sentiment, other than to make her
self ridiculous.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated.
The food You eat ferments in your
stomach instead OF digesting. This
infiames the stomach and causes
nausea. vomiting and a terrible
headache. Take three of Chamber
lain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as well as ever.
They only cost quarter.

One of the greatest needs of farm
ers in the United States is short-time
personal credit on reasonable terms.
The Federal loan banks are taking
good care of the landmortgage re-
quirements in many cases, but they
are not always available for new set
tiers and for farmers or planters
who need personal loans to buy live
stock, implements, or other equip
ment. The need for short-time per-
sonal credit is shown as a result of
an investigation by the, United States
Department of Agriculture in the
Southern States, where it was found
so per cent of the farmers depend
upon advances from merchants dur
ing the crop-producing season.
Credit extended by merchants, COM
monty known as the advancing sys-
tenn, is usually high. 1t is estimated
by the department that hundreds of
millions of dollars would be saved
by the farmers each year if the
means already adopted in a number
of communities were put into gener-
al use. The means referred to is
that of properly organized rural
credit unions.
In nine States laws have been
enacted under which farmers as we'll
as wage earners in cities may Or
ganize credit unions. These laws,
in SO far as they affect rural credit,
enable the farmers who are members
to obtain loans on terms which COM
pare favorably with those secured by
the city business men. The move
ment of surplus funds of the individ-
ual farmers has in general been to-
ward the city, but rural credit unions
encourage the retention of money
made on the farm where it is, most
needed. In addition. it tends to
turn the current of urban capital to-
ward rural districts, as outside
credit is secured through regular
credit channels-the banks.

The prohibition constitutional
amendment was, of course, submit
ted by representatives in Congress
and ratified by representatives in the
state. legislatures. Because of this,
efrort is made to make it appear that
the people had no opportunity to ex-
press their opinion. This ignores
the fact that prohibition was an
issue in the election of every one of
the representatives acting.
Thirty-two of the forty-eight states
went dry by state action. Nineteen
OF these were voted dry at the polls
by the people.

Good Looks by Study.

The Cri' de Paris, the weekly gos-
sip magazine, says that Maj. Sir Will
liam Orpen, the painter, who is still
working on pictures of the peace con-
ference, was haunted blythe idea, when
he was young, that he was very ugly
He used to turn his face aside in
the street to avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no
ticed that his fellow-pupils, by dint
of mental concentration upon the beau
tiful models of antiquity, gradually
came somewhat to resemble them in
their own features. Orpen eagerly
awaited promotion to the same class,
and determined to spend all his time
copying the Venus de Milo. II shall
thus acquire her admirable expression
of naughty serenity" he said. "Un-
fortunately" he continues, "When
was promoted to copying antiquity my
master made me spend the whole year
drawing nothing but The Dancing
Faun,' so that never realized my am

Women's New Walk.

While the new skirts are a little
longer than the modes favored during
the past three Of four years, they are
much narrower. The new skirt re-
quires a new walk. 'For several years"
says a dressmaking authority, women
have enjoyed the freedom of their
limbs, and the effect is noticeable in
the masculine stride of the modern
girl. With the narrow skirt action
will be restricted, and we shall have
once more the short steps of the hob
BILE skirt. With wider hips, however,
she will gain in grace what is lost in
freedom. The new walk will be like
the walk of pelican-mincing but
graceful, deliberate yet dainty, and al
ways alluringly feminine"
