ST. Louis Globe Democrat:
Governor Cox as prosecuting at.
torney has presented an indict-
ment against the republican par
ty and its leaders. The court In
this instance is the senatorial
Investigating committee, and the
jury is the people of the United
States. What are the charges,
what is the evidence and what
is the verdict The charges are
definite and specific. They have
been repeated by Governor Cox
in speech after speech. Il will
produce evidence" he said at
Evansville, that convicts every
mothers son of them in evidence
OF deliberate plot that has been
carried into every county in
America in conspiracy to buy the
presidency of the United States"
the several counts Of the indict7
ment may be stated as follows,
in his own. words:
Count No. 1. "At least SIS. ooo,-
600 is being contributed TO the
republican national campaign
fund by selfish interests. That is
the low mark, and the sky is APP
parently the limit"
Count No. 2. Bankers are writ
fns their checks as an invest
ment,' and Others are writing
large checks so that il their
puppets and tools get into office
and there are Industrial contro-
Versies they can have the bayo-
net to enforce their will. Millions
are being contributed now in or
der to guarantee an unfair re-
adjustment Of industrial condi-
tons"
Count No. 8. "A powerful com
bination q interests is now at
tempting to buy government con-
troll"
Count No. 4. Millions have
: been contributed from sinister
and corrupt sources in further
ance of a republican conspiracy
to buy an underhold on the
presidency"
An indictment presupposes the
existence and possession of evil
dence TO support it. Governor
Cox declared that he had the
evidence = "the evidence that
convicts every mothers son Of

tirety has been presented to the
court and the jury. It consists
OF a purported list of campaign

statement made by them to the
court of the plans, accomplish
ments and purposes Of the cam
paign, with documentary evil
dence. From this evidence, with
all the corroborating details
brought out in the trial, it has
been clearly established that the
republican committee is seeking
to obtain by popular subscrip-
tons of small sums the amount
OF money considered necessary to
pay the legitimate expenses of a
campaign for the presidency.
This amount was fixed at a little
over $4,000, 900. The congress

thing to this amount, but the

nearly everything else.
This is only a temporary lull,"
says one of the optimists. Cars
have got to have tires. and there are
more cars all the time. Things will

basis"
Very likely he is right. 1t is a
good thing, in the long run, to debate
"booms." That is a worth remem-
bering, as other speculative cities
and industries in their turn suffer
the inevitable deflation.
Back to the farms! That's the i'm
portant thing about this. Back where
the men will aid real production;
back where they are needed.

A WCMANiS BALLOT,

Many man. had he the eminence Of Cardinal
Gibbons and an audience that would listen to
him as to the venerable prelate in Baltimore
would echo the old mans words and urge upon
the women of the United States that since they
have been given the vote they should exercise
the privilege not only as right but as duty
Like many another man who has not his large
audience to speak to but feels once IN while
as though he would like to stand up and an
nounce his views to the world, Cardinal Glib
pons did not In his heart believe in nor approve
Of woman suffrage, thinking as hundreds o.
thousands OF men felt that what woman gained
the world would lose; but the cardinal now sees
the folly of arguing about facts and conditions
What any or woman thinks about the mat
ter Of woman suffrage Is worthless to the coun-
try for women have the vote, probably for all
time or while the republic endures; what every
one hopes, who hopes for the best IN this best
Of nations, Is that women viii inject into
the political life of the country something
that men have either lost or never possessed.
What it is many try to define; what it will &C
tomplish thousands have tried to prophesy, but,
be it what it may, or let it accomplish what fate
desires, it will never see the light or accomplish
It's destiny unless the women enroll, cast their
votes and exercise their franchise with sense
pf the duty and responsibility it imposes upon
their intelligence. Mere man is very slack
about such things. Often when he boasts the
oudest Of being the freest citizen Of the freest
land the Almighty has ever smiled upon his
bwn careIcssness has disfranchised him temper
lrly and his interest In this land Of wonders has
lot been sufficient to win him an hour away
rom the engro8sing occupation of swapping
farms debating letters. If the women show,
hat they appreciate and value the privilege of
Foting and will make some sacrifice of time to
lnroll as voters, they may shame the men into
blowing their example and thus give first
tangible proof Of their value as political en-
titles of the republic

stands. Does the governor himself really kno"
what sort of league he wantsi He certainly
does not disclose any clear convictions that he
may have.
Senator Harding is much more definite and
perfectly frank. He has decided convictions on
the subject He sees that league of the super
state order which relies upon coercion has fali-
ed in Europe and must inevitably fail for the
reason that no agreement can be ever reached
as to the ends and means to which coerclve
measures should be employed, or as to the part
of the task that shall devolve upon particular
states In letter addressed to DR.. Jacob
Gould Schurman, former president OF Cornell
Senator Harding indicates that he
will not approve of any plan or scheme which
seeks to preserve the fabric of the league OF
nations covenant by adding to it or, building
upon it, because he regards the preservation
Of the fabric as menace to the American con-
stitution.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cherokee Democrat: Does the at
torney general really think that Iowa
women are silly enough to object 70
giving the date of their birth? If
they are they are no more qualified
to vote than some of the men.
Davenport Times: Iowa democrats
Iare saying it is time for a change of
administration. If that argument is
forceful in Iowa, of course it has to
be admitted by the democrats as
equally applicable TO the nation. On
second thought, do they care SO to
apply it?
Manson Democrat: II the banks of
Iowa had In their vaults and ti1ls the
5000 ,O00,0 900 that they have loaned
out to fellows anxious to get rich
quick by buying wildcat stocks in the
past two years, 1t would go far to
relieve the "tightness" of money that
they and their customers are now
Experiencing. It would amount to
the state And to think that they
can loan money for nothing but legi-
innate business needs!
Cedar Rapids Republican: It is of
course nonsensical for the various
states TO try to insist on their two
cent a mile rates for railroads, while
the interstate rates have been put
up to three cents. The proper thing
to do is to equalize rates 50 that all
alike may bear the burdens that have
been imposed on transportation.

telling the people that the republi.
cans are going to buy them would
impress them very favorably. We
know we would resent the charge

MOVIE NOTES

Have you ever wondered how an actor takes dual role in a film? Re producing scenes in which one person acts opposite himself is one of the most difficult tricks of molten photo graph. In starting out the director chooses his set, then divides it in half either mentally or with a piece of chalk or some paint-and tells his dual actor about it. Then the actor pro- ceeds to act on one half of the set, and the camera man closes half of the aperture in his camera That leaves one side of the film unexposed. The film is then rewound into the feed box of the camera and run through again with the actor pOrtraying the other character on the other side of the set. To make the double action take place at the same time on the finished film, method of counting is used and if the player lights a cigar while the director is counting ten, he

 "Hysteria," was his comment. eIn- teresting case. We11 find a cure for her-I hope.
 "Chrys has long history of ncr- vous delinquencies,' I said. Merely wishing to let him know all of her symptoms, I told about her ouija board madness and her sudden and unac- countable marriage
 'Is-she-married? ?'' he inquired duly. Then without waiting for an answer he went on:
 T know a woman who writes poems. Very good ones, too. People call her mad, but she isn't I've studied her. Her mania is pose. She cultivates it, just as the sybils of old-and some saints, for that matter, went into an 'ecstacy' when it suited their purpose. This modern poet does the same thing for arts sake. Not at all absurd, from a poets point of view, perhaps. Only when she has surrendered her sanity can she do her best verse, she believes When she's sane, she's quite common place.
 You think my sister-in Jaw is in a similar state?" I ventured.
 T think she wills her silence. with
 
 responsibility in the matter"
 But she didn't will the original n-somnambulism? pro- tested
 True. But I think she enjoyed it. in a way. Now she desires to remain in state of remoteness from people yes, even from her own family. Just as a relief from something-from what, do not know. But it seems to me that she has been bored by every situation in life which she has ever found herself
 Have you noticed that she seems to get happier-as the rest of us get gloomier in this placer" I asked.
 Jordan Spence nodded Then we turned scared eyes upon each other thought I had hit upon the reason why Chrys was happy And back of that reason, I perceived why she had elected to remain dumb for so long q time.

THIS WEEK TO BE cHILpREN,s
 WEEK

The past week was filled with gala events for the grown folks-from grand opera to the Shriners' ball-with the Eastern Stars, sober Masons and regal Eiks sandwiched in between-but this week ''ye little folks will make merrie"
 Of course "The Mardi Gras" ball is the event of the week when some of the little folks will don royal gar ments and preside over the frolic of Mardf Gras guests.
 And sweet, quaint picture it will 5be, from their royal highnesses, the king and queen of the Mardf Gras ball, surrounded by their attendants the ladies in waiting in dainty robes and court trains, their sweet, childish faces rising like flowers from their calyxes, above their stiff ruffs and high collars. hair piled high to add dignity to young heads, the kings attendants in capes. tights and plumes, the royal guardsmen (may be bored according to the manner of men and wishing to be out playing marbles unsteady down to the little pages and train bearers, and the guests ing all kinds of novel costumes. representing characters from history, and fiction, weaving in and out in the pretty dance numbers arranged for the occasion.
 Betty Fennemore as the Princess of the Chiidren's Kingdom, will head the procession of guests and present her subjects to their ruler, the queen of the Mardi Gras, who will receive them in a pretty speech of welcome. After which the guests pass before the queen in review and form into line for the grand march.
 Louise Baptist. representing the N. D. C.. under whose auspices the affair is given will give the prologue.
 Andrea Bradley will dance The Bluebird," the symbol of happiness, Fern Palmer and Kermit King have a stately French court minuette. Win some Alice Bourman a sprightly ga- votte, and it is rumorcd that Baby Gwendolin, Arizona's smallest dancer has accepted the queens invitation to appear and dance for her guests

We Learn That We Are Not Angels

(CoPq11qht 1920, bq ]

We Learn That We Are Not Angels
 As Captivity Continues
 It is a sad fact that we four persons did not remain angelic for the entire period of our strange captivity. The men spoke sharply to each other more than once. I suppose this was because they ran out of tobacco. l could see why tho governments, in their wis., dom, had provided the weed so liber ally for the soldiers in the late war. I wished Donna Camilla had put few cigarettes into the basket of food.
 "Hc~y man does indulge his nor ale!" was my comment to myself. How selfishly he denies woman any such stimulant! Why, he simply ex- poets her to thrive on sacrifice-and grow strong through misery"
 More than once I was frankly cross. I almost hated the nicetpersons with whom I was shut up. was sure that they hated me too. I realized that Chrys and I might easily have lost our minds without the company of the men.
 We hadn't a thing to amuse our selves with, not printed page, not card. It was the men who invented diversions for us. One morning, after we had retold our best stories, Archer suggested:
 Lets play Button. Button! Who"
  the doctor agreed with him at once: Great idea! We'll get a little ex- ercise, at least"
 All right" said Archer, cutting a button from his coat. Kisses for for feits-in the good old shioned way?"
 Appalled,, I looked at Chrys. I mo- ticed that she shivered slightly.
 Shut up, Don't be a damned fool!" growled Spence in tone he thought too low for us girls to hear. But we did hear. I knew that one danger which increased as the days passed, was gone.
 I wondered if Chrystobel Lorimer could help adoring a Prince Charming and Sir GaIahad like Jordan Spence, Sketching was another of our rec reations. Gene Archer and ChryS could draw very well and they took part of each day to copy the quaint patterns of the carved woodwork.
 One day. while they were so en-
