POLITICAL ANIMOSITIES,

fiery boy who was brought up in family hav-
ing strict political views, remarked that he
thought all members of the opposite party ought
to be hanged. Formerly people got excited over
elections that they would not speak to each other
the street.
In the days before the Australian ballot, every.
one had to show his coors. If man walked up to
the polls with pink ticket when he should have
had blue. there commotion in the COM
munity. Some one higher up would pull his coat
tails and tell him to sit down.
People would become intensely excited over poll
itics in those days. They would get to arguing and
shout so loud that you could hear them for a block
Political candidates called each other liars and
thieves.
The present is time of more tolerance. A great
many people conceal their political views and re-
fuse to discuss them, If they have any You may
have no idea how your neighbors vote, since so
many never attend any primary meetings.
Politics has ceased to be matter of fanatcal
zeal and is looked at now as question of business

A GOOD HOME DINNER.

1t is a surprising fact that in the
average home cabbage is never
served in any dressed up" form
especially when served in conjunc-
ton with corned beef. The house
keeper who has never offered her
family praised cabbage will be sur
prlsed at her family's delight in it.
The following dinner menu calls
for this dish.
Corned Beef.
Boiled Potatoes. Braised Cabbage.
Coffee. Peach Shortcake.
Braised Cabbage.--Ohe cabbage,

spoon pepper, cloves, 2 green
apples, l tablespoon salt, 1-2 cup
vinegar, l cup water. Melt the but

apples. Cook these ingredients to-
gether for 3 minutes, then add the
cabbage shredded, with the other
ingredients. Cover the saucepan
and let simmer for IL hours.
Peach Shortcahe.-Four cups of
flour, 6 tablespoons butter or cleo
margarine, ! teaspoon salt, 3 tea
spoons baking powder, 2 eggs, ga
cup milk. Mix the dry ingredients
together, then rub in the butter
with the fingers. Beat the eggs
light and add the milk to them,
then stir milk and eggs into the
flour. Mix well and spread in two
creased layer-cake pans. Bake in
a moderate oven, then split each
of the two layers through the CEN

layers) and butter them well. Place

THE WoMAN's POINT OF VIEW.

The politicians are anxously querying, In the
states where women are newly enfranehised by the
suffrage amendment, how this new body OF voters
is going to affect election results.
It has been the experience of the states already
having suffrage, that the great majority of the
women voted like the men of their families This
was not usually, because the men told them what
to do. The vote of the men in many families fol-
lows much home discussion in which par
ticipate the voter seeking approval at least Civ
ing to the wife for his selection of party and
candidates.
Where women will be weakest for a time is in
unfamiliarity with political methods and history.
The majority of them have not been following the
game. In few years they should be familiar with
political problems everywhere.
Women are not without good business sense.
The yspend the home income, usually, more tdi-
ciously than men. And they will be strong moral
issues. The home, the schools and the children must
be protected to please the women. Also women
must have equal rights in the working world and
in the law courts.

WISCONSIN WILL BE SWATTED.

There hundreds of thousands of men and

special reasons of sort of another who disap-
prove of things he has done and tendencies devel-
oped. He is passing. but the national managers of
the democratic party have endorsed Wilson ways,
and inherited obligation to go on with expert
ments made regardless Of human nature and exper-
fence. 1t was Wilson's Official crowd that put his
program through at San Francisco, less than six
of his cabinet going there to shape party declara-
TONS
The clique in Washington is going to be dis
appointed by the failure of democrats the coun-
try to warm up to the program of perpetuaton which
Cox agreed to when he went to Wilson.
The president msjudges public opinion, as he did
two years ago when he made personal appeal to
the country to send men to the senate who would
take his orders, and keep at home all who did not
like his methods in entangling America in complex
foreign obligations.
