Why Cardinals Hat Is Not Worn.


The popularity Of the cardinals hat
is that 1t Is not intended to be worn.
On one occasion only is 1t to be seen
on the head Of cardinal, and that
Is when the pope himself places 1t
there as symbol of its owners ele-
vatiOn to the sacred college. When
the cardinal dies 1t is placed upon his
coffin. the Detroit News states.
The hat Is Of a deeper red than that
Of the robe worn by cardinal. 1t has
long heavy silken cords, each with 10
tassels at the end, hanging on either
side. There are at present three "red
hats" in Westminster cathedral. They
are those of Cardinals Wiseman, Man.
ming and Vaughan.

Jokes By Jury.

One of the most brutal pre-
meditated murders ever COM
mitted in this country occurred
in Chicago.
Carl Wandercr. former
army officer. shot to death his
wife and their unborn child
and a poor boob" who had
been hired by the murderer to
stage a fake holdup.
A Jury of men. supposedly.
sane. fixed his punishment at
twenty-five years in the peni-
Tertiary. Good behavior will
reduce il TO fourteen years.
Decent people the country
over have been both amazed
and disgusted at this verdict.
II is becoming so increasing
~ difficult to mete out justice
through the medium of men
juries that courts and prosecu-
tors are beginning to consider
calling in the women for jury
service.
II is painfully evident that
their sense of honor. right and
justice is far superior to that
of modern man.
A Jury of women might hest
tate at the death penalty. but
they at least would have given
this human monster a life sem
tence in the penitentiary
The correction of these nau-
seating Jokes by jury appear to
be up to the womanhood of
our country.

Congratulations!

We congratulate the women
of this country.
We doubly congratulate
ourselves that we have such
women.
Never before in the history
o. the world has such great
evolution or revolution occurr-
cd without serious confusion or
disturbances.
We have Just witnessed the
operation of full woman's suf-
frage for the first time.
We have seen the women go
through u presidential cam
paign in a quiet. dignifed. bust
nesslike manner, free from all
ostentation and with no evil
dence of uncertainty of con
fusion.
We have seen them accept
the result of the election with
a calm spirit of serenity which
speaks volumes for our Ameri-
can system of majority rule.
Throughout all OF the cam
paige. We have heard of no
questionable act committed or
abetted by any woman of eth
err party.
They are as clean in politics
as they are in their private
lives.
That. though. is no more
than we expect of our glorious
American women.
But Il is very gratifying to
every element of decency in
mankind.

History Of fFilibusters
By Tennessee Solons
First Move of This ChaTact
er Occurred In Senate
of 1641, Led BY
Andrew Johnson

| Nashville, Aug. Il. olnCe tue
days when Andrew Johnson was
merely state figure in politics,
the filibuster has been a weapon
invoked in the Tennessee legis-
lature as a dast resort in heated
| legislative fights and factions have
resorted to il. The first hlibuster
was staged in the Tennessee senate
in l84l, when thirteen democratic
senators, one of whom was Andrew
johnson, broke quorum to pre-
vent the election of two wings to
the United States senate, the re-
suit being that Tennessee was
without representation in the
United States senate for the en-
suing two years The thirteen
senators figuring in the incident
are known in Tennessee political
tradition as the immortal thirt-
Gen."
In 1885, to defeat registration
bill, republican members of the
state senate parricaded themselves
in three rooms in a local hotel, the
members in hiding being fed for
three or four days by hauling
baskets of provions from across the
street on a rope bridge. In 1909,
to invalidate new election laws,
democratic senators broke quor-
um and quietly left for Hopkins
vile. Ky. continuing out OF the
state for The week, This filibuster|
failed oi ITS purpose, under mold
ing of the supreme court.
When the fifty-seventh general
assembly met on Jan. 3, 1911,
thirty-seven members, regular
democrats, refused to take oath
and tied up the Legislative wheels
until Jan. 7. when an agreement
was reached providing for the
withdrawal of all contests over
seats.
On april l3, 1911, the same
session, independent democrats
and republican members OF the
house broke quorum, going to
Decatur, Ala, as result OF the
capture of the house by regular
democrats and the jeopardizing OF
the election laws and the prohl-
bition laws. This filibuster lasted
a month, the absentees returning
TO their homes on May IL and not
being molested. Deliberations were
finally resumed June %.
In 1918, republican and lndep'
endent democrats of the house on
April | flibustered, twenty going
to Middlesboro, Ky, and halt
dozen others going to Florence,
Ala, the cause being to prevent
a change in the election laws.
