VOTES COUNT NOW

| For many years we men have been
told what would happen if women
were ever given equal suffrage with
men.
Now they have it.
In future the vote of the humblest
female citizen will count just as much
rs that Of the president Of the United
States.
Acts, not words, will write the sto-
~ of the future
II is matter Of speculation as
10 just what effect the feminine vote
will have on state and national poll
tics, but the presumption is that is
will have a tendency TO purify the bal
lot and retire certain stamp of
politicians who have been seeking to
ebauch the ballot for years.
Morally woman is unquestionably
the superior Of man, and if she DEM
onstrates the fact that she is broad
minded enough to rise above peanut
politics and vote for men of stability
and character, regardless of political
considerations, We may reasonably ex.
pect her advent to be one Of supreme
Importance to the future welfare of
our country. In such an event po-
litical leaders will hesitate long be-
fore attempting to foist upon the
voters Of their party man who does
not truly represent the intelligence
and the integrity Of that party.
uutil women adjust themselves to
their new station in life some no
doubt will vote merely as their hus-
bands do, while others will do their
own thinking and vote as they please.
II is 10 the latter class that we
must look for and material change
from our present political methods
and system.
The November election will tell
much Of the story, but few political
forecasters are willing to make even
the smallest kind Of a prediction at
this time.
The politicians themselves are all
fioundering in sea of uncertainty

the conference. He said no class of

ris Dead Body is Found in
Club Room Of Eagles Late

He Was Despondent Over His
Condition and Feared He
Would Become Burden
if He Lived.

weeks To live longer would cause

This is the last message OF FRANK
NJ Ballinger, local attorney, who was
found dead in the game room OF the
Eagles club yesterday afternoon with
bullet hole through the left temple
and a revolver 3S caliber, blue steel
barrel lying beside him on the floor.
The position of the body Indicated
tbat he had fallen out Of one of the
chaire in the poolrom where he was
sitting when he shot himself. The
hodv was discovered by George Hart
man who was the first to enter the
c,uh since the custodian left at
a o'clock. This was at o'clock,
hut it is believed that the deed was
committed at least three hours
earlier.
Mr.. Ballinger was to have met his
wife at II o'clock IN the office OF
Or. W. Frank Brown Shortly after
II he was inquiring Of friends on
Fifth street if they had seen MRS.
RaIlinger. They said she had left
the doctors office and gone up the
street. and he followed her. Evidently
he overlook her, for Dr. Brown told
the police that he left them alone IN
his urivate office when he went
home at noon. They were discussing
private matters. 1t was learned that
Mr.. Ballinger was in telephone COM
muuication with mis- wife earlier In
the morning and agreed to meet her.
The letter which Mr.. Ballinger
left and which practically explains
the entire affair was written sep
TENDER Is. 1920 1t was written In
tndelible pencil and the envelope IN
which 1t was addressed is written
In black lead pencil, also the two
postscripts. These evidently were
added as he sat alone in the club
rooms lust before pulling the trigger.
Letter Explains Action.
The letter is written on printed
letterbead Of his own and is as fol
