Senator Subey Unconscious of Attention He Commands
He Goes along One of His Trained Rolling Chairs

Of the Golden West doing 1t mainly
by the way he looked and the things he
did not say.
The senator's face is tanned. appar-
emily, has a fine color and looks more
''snappy" than in other days.
The best thing he does is to mobilize
a quick smile. In another moment he
suggests the passionless philosopher Of

the highest light. The full face view
reveals the thinning marks of illness.

when he was an "impecunious lawyer" "
and some one came into his Office and
offered him $50 to write a pamphlet
on "Barnum's White Elephant"
Where did you get your informa

And as the waiter started to leav,
the senator ran on:
Bring me some chocolate and vanill,
ice cream, and some fruit cake"

MAKING AN INDUSTRY OF ROBBERY.

traitors is altogether too infrequent.

on the force that Pennsylvania finds
both competent and useful. =
The average yegg and hold Up
man is not remarkable for intelli-
gence. Usually he is below the ay-
erage in intelligence as well as NOR
ais. Just why so few of them are
apprehended An Iowa is not readily
to be explained except on the hy-
pothesis that our official thief catch

capture them. r

MR. HERRING AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE

On another page. a news report for
Jesup giving a portion of the speech
delivered by Nate Kendall yesterday
quotes from the woman suffrage
record Of the democrat candidate for
governor. ri appears from, the letter
read by Mr.. Kendall that Mr.. Her
rims was q pronounced opponent of
woman suffrage in the campaign
made by the. women in 1916 for rec
ognition In Iowa.
That he was not only a pro-
nounced but an active opponent is
indicated by the letter as quoted and
the fact that he was an executive
member of the Men Opposed tn
Woman Suffrage"
Mr.. Herring had perfect right to
his pronounced op....u.
was entirely within hissrights as /.
citizen when as a member Of the
Men Opposed to Woman Suffrage
he did his share in defeating suf.
frage.
The woman voter, however is
very likely to analyze the reason:
for Mr.. Herring's change of heart
and conviction. Among other thing:
she will wonder how she would have
ever attained the right to vote had
her status as citizen depended up
on Mr. Herring and the Men Op.
posed to Woman Suffrage"

A Woman's Word.

and spoke q word,
And something in my heart and

TO life anew; some near-forgotten
To make Of life success; to make it
plain
That there was one who dreamt of
great things and who meant
To make his dream come true.
Dear smiling face, and heart Of pur-
est gold,
Your kindly word and glance that so
much told
Were not in vain; today like many
weary men
Who in theih hour of near defeat
and when
Life darkest seemed, met someone
who just knew
All that they hoped and wished and
meant to do.
My heart is .throbbing with that
newborn aim

not lived in vain.
How much, ah! Just how much, a
wonRn's word can do,
If she but knew, to help a man win

Q. Why will fox visit a farm

When a fox prowls about q farm
house, he has no general idea that
there are eatable things there. He
is simply following his nose; he
smells something to which he re-
spends. But when a man goes to a
restaurant he follows an idea and not
his nose, ne compares the different
viands in his mind, and often decides
beforehand what he Will have.

consumers to pay for those who pro-
duce the materials out of which~ gas
is made-or not those who produce
the materials, but those who handle
them ind sell them.
We say this somewhat advisedly,
for the federal investigators have
found that the price Of coal as pro-
duced. that is at the mouth Of the

from what it 1t when delivered in

Mr.: Harding as a promoter is one
thing. If his name appeared simply
as W. l., Harding in the promotion
Of this oil company 1t would attract
slight attention and perhaps have
little influence. But why should "the
governor Of Iowa" be printed thus!
Why is it so printed unless to use
the prestige and dignity of the chief
executive office of the state to as
sist an oil stock propaganda and
sales?
Wouldn't it be a relief to the state
of Iowa if Governor Harding would
take his new job at once without
waiting until ''his term of office as
governor expires!"
