Jarco from the barn yard and spent the

Yarco Both kept the agreement and
soon Reno seized poor Yarco and as he was

publican split, of 2,123,1Ss. In 1916 his
plurality was 81, 941.
By the side of these Mr. Harding's plu-
rality, which appears to approximate 7,OOO,-
600, stands in class of it's own. Allowing
for the virtual doubling of the electorate
by the enfranchisement Of women, it still
far exceeds even Colonel Roosevelt's fig
ures in 1904 It amounts to nearly seven
per cent Of the entire population, and to
20 or % per cent of the entire electorate
In many important states his plurality
equals ten per cent of the entire population
Moreover, it was won in a straight uncom
plicated fight. There were no states out of
the Union or under military rule, as in
1864, 1868, and 1872. There was no such
adoption of an outside candidate as in
1872. There was no such excitement over a
strenuous personality as in 1904. There was
no schism of the opposing party as in
1912; no such campai On Of camoufage as
in 1916. There was just the direct ISSUE

The electoral vote, while completely over

pressive, and is no more decisive than on
some other occasions. Mr.. Wilson in 1912
had 435 votes to 90 for the other two can
didates. Roosevelt in 1904 had 1886 to 40.
Grant in 1872 had 206 against 60, and in
1868 he had PA against II. Lincoln in
1864 had the greatest preponderance on
record, 212 to p, or fully ten to one Pierce
had 2o4 to ~. Harrison beat Van Buren,
by 234 to 60. Jackson in 1882 had 219 to
81. Some of the earlier divisions were even
more striking, but the method Of election
was then so different from the present that
comparison would be irrelevant. After all
1t was referendum, a plebiscite, a popu-
lar vote, that the President wanted, and it
was that which he had cast against him with
numerical emphasis never before known

THE GREAT REFERENDUM

The magnitude of the Nation s verdict
against wisconsin is so tremendous as to
be almost beyond ordinary comprehension
like the statistics OF the great war, or the
measurements of interstellar spaces. It will
be an aid to appreciation of it, however, to
compare or to contrast it with former cleo
toral results, some of which were regarded
as overwhelming.
In the twenty-four Presidential elections
preceding this one in which the popular
vote could be counted twelve Presidents
were chosen by minorities Of that VOTE and
twelve by majorites. Three of the former
did not even have pluralities, namely, John
Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, and
Benjamin Harrison. jackson had MAORI
ties of 1922 in 1923 and 1913 in 1912
Van Buren, had only 27O27. Harrison, in
the famous Log Cabin and Hard Cider cam
paign, secured majority Of 1854. Polk
the first 'dark horse,' won by plurality
Of As, ISL, but was in decided minority of
the whole vote. T aylor, with plurality
of 149, 556, was also minority President
Pierce had a plurality of 214,694 by far
the largest thus far and also a clear ma
jority; due to the decadence of the Wing
party. Buchanan had plurality of 496,905
over Fremont but was in decided minor
ity of the whole
The first Republican President, Lincoln
had a plurality Of 4S9,495 but was mi
nority President. In his second election,
however, he had a majority of 1914, 1857; by
far the most overwhelming victory thus far
on record. Grant had only 4O5,456 plural
ity in 1868, but majority of all, and in
1872 his plurality over Greeley was 762,991
There followed five minority Presidents
Hayes did not have even plurality, falling
$50 945 short of it. Garfield 3 D1ura1itv was
only 9,464; Cleveland's 23,O05. Harrison
fell 95,713 short Of getting even a plurality
Cleveland for his second term had 363,612
plurality-a landslide, it was considered
but was still in the minority. Mckinley in
1896 had 567, 500 plurality. and in 1900,
S6O7SS; and both times clear majorities
Roosevelt in 1904 eclipsed all records with
a plurality of 2,544,343, and of course an
immense majority and Taft in 1908 did
nearly as well with plurality of 1269,806.

Gas HURLs ROCKS UPoN TowN.
Rain of Stones Mystery in Texas Is
Believed Solved.

Pearsall, Tex, Dee 4.-Gas pres
sure, which probably found an outlet
in some Of the surrounding hills near
here, is thought by local biologists to
have caused the mysterious rain Of
rocks upon homes and in the streets
of Pearsall recently.
The first rain" of rocks was re-
ported several days ago when gang
Of road builders eamped in vacant
farmhouse near Pearsall. The work
ers had just retired for the night when
rocks began falling upon the roof of
their temporary home.
The matter was reported to the
sheriff of the county who made an in
vestigation but failed to solve the
mystery. A few nights later, rocks
began falling in the streets of the
town, and then it was suggested by
biologists who are carrying on an in
vestigation in the county that posi-
bly, escaping gas from one of the
neighboring hills sent the rocks hurl-
ing thru the air.
The rocks, it is said, are similar to
those found in the hillsides, but to date
no one has found the outlet for the es-
Gaping gas. The investigation how
ever, is being continued

Coal Trust Suit Against Lehigh

Washington, Dec. 6.--The Lehigh
Valley railroad case, the second and
last of the great anthracite coal and
antitrust cases, was won today By the
government.
The supreme court in the unanisAous
opinion of seven members participat-
ing, held that the existing conabin-

pal subsidiary companies was in vio-
latIon of the Sherman antitrust act,

Specifically named in the order of
dissolution were the Lehigh Valley
railroad company, the Lehigh Valley
coal company, the Lehigh Valley Coal
Sales Company, Coke Brothers and
company, and the Delaware, Susque-

pany. The court dismissed the bill so
far as it named the New York and

the Girard Trust company and in

Never Lot Battle.
This success won him acclaim as
the general who never lost a battle. .
His success dazzled his followers,
but Obregon did not let his popular
lty rest solely upon success in battle.
His troops were remarkably well
cared for, but wee held in the leash
of dicipline. Where he moved there
was order and security, and this en-
deared him with civilians, who had
much of looting and high-handed ae-
ton by the marching captains of the
many revolutions and had seen little
of such watchful protection as that
given to them by Oregon.
General Obregon is member of
an old Mexican family which has
played an honorable and distinguished
part in Mexican history for several
centuries. The family has produced
many soldiers, clergymen, writers and
lawyers. Oregon is himself a writ
err, having published a book dealing
with some of his experiences during
the revolutions. He is a student. in
terested in everything, and is able to
discuss wide range Of subjects in
conversation.
Because his name has Hibernian
twist, there are some who persist in
believing that Obregon was once
O'Brien and that Obregon's ancestors
came from Ireland. This is denied.

ARMENIAN WOMEN
STICK TO TURKS
Reluctant to Abandon Men Who Have
Seized Them-Those Having Chill
dren Are Most Difficult to
Persuade.

Sansoun, Asia Minor, Dec. En-
tente and American officials and relief
workers intrusted with the task of re-
storing Armenian girls and women to
their families have found that many of
the girls who were forcibly taken into
harens and became the involuntary
wives of the Turks and Arabs pre-
ferred to continue as Turkish wives,
and were unwilling to leave their hus-
bands.
They feared the hardships of life
among fellow countrymen, who knew
of their servitude. Some of the girls
became attached to their foreign hus-
bands and said they liked the life into
which they had fallen. Where the
girls had children the problem was
,doubly hard.
The lot of some of the educated
women and girls was much more pit
liable than that Of those who had en-
joyed no advantages. American wom-
en- relief workers found one case in
Central Turkey especially perplexing.
A girl, who was graduated from one
of the American mission colleges, was
taken captive in the early part Of the
war. A prominent Turkish official
whose only wife had recently died
took the Armenian girl into his home
His mother and children became at
tached to the girl, whose superior
education made her an important
member of the community.
The Turk was very influential and
thru the influence of the young Ar.
uenian, saved Armenian refugees
from persecution. He proposed to ths
girl and she finally married him. Wher
the relief workers went to the Turk
ish home to find whether the young
bride desired to be freed from her hus

house The Turk and his mother ant
children were devoted to the girl ans

The relief workers talked to the Ar

In explanation of the great number
of illegitimate children, it is said that
many of the poems are too poor to go
to the expense of getting married, and
unite informally. These unions, it is
said, are often more lasting than some
made under more conventional condi-
lions and with all nuptial pomp.
Poems are said to be, as a rule,
faithful to their common law" wives
and devoted to their children, for
whom they make every sacrifice.

Former Polk County Man Tells of
Condition Near Boswell.

Jacob A. Standridge, a former resi-

visit old time friends and relatives.
The young man has been located at

military service during the world war.
In conversation with Mena friends,
AIR. Standridge stated that at Bos-
well the average turnout of the cotton
gins is 1000 bales a week during the

fields of cotton had not had a boil
picked and none will be, he believes,
because Of the low price of the staple
