No matter who is elected president
some Of us will have to go right on

The fact Is that most OF the hell

Woodrow Wilson's sowing.
It was big bunch and a great
hurrah at Dayton but 1t makes one
think Of the laugh the Irishman had
when he contemplated rubbing the
bulls nose in the dirt. The rest OF
the story will be applicable along in

A thirteen year old girl at Colo
has attracted state wide attention by
driving tractor in harvest. But an
eight year old kid Is considered by
some city people as entirely compe-
tent to tool a sixty horse power
automobile about q crowded street
and he never gets into the news
papers until he kills somebody OF
wrecks q car.
The man who has wood lot and
uses 1t this winter viii not only be
saving himself money but doing
something toward reducing, the cost
Of living for other people.
Isn't 1t funny that q youth who
finds the sun too hot and dangerous
to work under can dance in hot
hall as long as the orchestra Will per-
form and that = young lady who
hasn't the strength this hot weather
to wash dishes with can keep him
company to the last two step.
II any American is dissatisfied with
this country he should be given q
short course in Europe.
OF course they say the increased
freight rates will be absorbed but
the ordinary folks are figuring thar
they will have to do the absorption.

Those Who Prosper in BoIshevv.

M. 1ordinsky says that Petrograd
today Is a city strangely silent for
its once active factories arc now
practically all closed and its once
busy and crowded streets are almost
deserted. The population of the citS
has decreased to 10000 and is
waning fast. partly because Of an
enormous death rate from the dis
eases Incidental to semi starvation
and partly because those who and
conditions intolerahle and hopeless
are going away as fast and al far
as they can.
But there Is a class that remains
whose members do not find the con-
ditions either intolerable or hopeless.
They ape the strong. the savage, the
cruel elements Of the Russian people
those who can assimilate coanse
foods, who are not disturbed by
moral degradation, who are willing
and able to give all their energy and
time to getting thru any devices OF
force and fraud enough to eat, rags
with which to cover themselves from
the cold, and the rude shelter which
is all they require.
These people, fine flower OF Boil
shevism, are q healthy and husky lot,
in strange contrast to the pale ard
tottering remnants OF the old-time
intellectuals. They are not unhappy.
and they will be. the foundation Of
the bolshe~ist state, In Russia II
there Is to be one. And in very
truth they are the ffttest to survive

HIS UP TO TENNESSEE.

The women are in the last ditch
today with the meeting Of the Ten
nessee legislature called by the gov
ernor primarily to decide whether or
not Tennessee will open the gate Of
|citizenship and let millions OF women
thr In time to vote in the ;all cleo
ton.
With both parties urging ratifica-
ton by Tennessee the women may
take hope. Some changes have taken
place In the senate which refused
to ratify tho five suffrage supporters
have been elected and five others
who are counted on the opposite
side Of the question. The house voted
to ratify and will probably do SO
again. So the woman vote may
count in the coming election.
Iowa women may vote for presi-
dent. Iowa went that rar in her last
assembly. That OF itself however will
not especially change the proportion
Of Iowa's vote. II Tennessee ratifies
a new voting element will have to
be considered In the state for state

bless 'em viii be courted by parties
and candidates assiduously. It Is
not to be expected that the women's
vote will seriously affect state and
national candidates but county and
local candidates may expect to see
a difference and is some cases a
decided difference.

DICTATED ~ WILSON READ ,sy cox.

Candidate Cox made evident in his
long drawn out speech that Wood
row Wilson and woodrow Wilson's
conception OF the presidential office
is his own. Whether by conviction
or under command Of Mr.. Wilson 1t
comes to the same thing. Mr.. Cox,
as candidate for the presidency
practically pledges himself to con-
duct another Wilson administration
Il he should be elected.
He is for the league without
amendment now apparently as
strongly as he was against it when
as q newspaper editor he opposed the
Wilson policies. It is to be assumed
that he Is for the league precisely as
Mr.. Wilson wants it without reser-
walton or change Of any kind.
I The league issue, the only one left
to the democrats which they could
use openly as the wet outlook was
altogether too dangerous to advance
except under cover Of a wet candi-
date. Is the old slogan che kept us
out Of war" dry cleaned and pressed
to do service in another campaign.
4 Is a right about change on the part
Of Cox. He dfsfavored it before the
nomination. He is for throw under
Wilson's tnsistence. Either he is
deceiving Mr.. Wilson and the public
OR he is for the Wilson treaty, Arti-
Gle x and all.
The hands are the hands OF Esau
but the voice is that Of Jacob VIII
son. Mr.. Wilson might have read
the speech SO evident is his control
Of its making. There is one out
standing impression forced by the
Cox speech that is that four years
OF Cox would be four years more Of
Wilson. Either that or Mr.. Cox is
pledgins himself to program which
he does not intend to carry on.
There was no way out OF it for
Cox. He had to take the Wilson
administration on his shoulders
where the convention. Wilson con-
trolled. placed it. The issue is VIII
son and the Wilson administration
lock. stock and barrel. There was
no failure of the Wilson autocracy at
the convention. There is no weaken
ing oflhis authority IN the Cox

Answer to Yesterdays QUESTION:.
How does the hooking bird
sing when not in captivity?
The mocking bird is a garrulous

there is a dash Of the clown and the

flavors it's whole performance, es-

2.-Why do horses hesitate to 90

A horse will hesitate to go upon

IDEAL Windmill Found.

It is claimed for a North Dakota
farmer that he has succeeded In de-
veloping windmill which will OPP
crate under all conditions OF wealth
er and feed a constant stream of
electricity into storage batteries for
general farm use. The difficulties
connected with operating dynamo
under varying speed conditions have
been overcome, 1t is said, by an ex-
ceedingly ingenious arrangement.
The entire machine revolves on q
steel standard. Three rotating parts,
wind wheel. the idler and the arma-
ture work all ball bearings in hard
Oil and revolve around the standard
In such way that no matter what the
velocity Of the wind may be the rev.
buttons OF the armature are reason
ably constant. There are regions In
the United States where the wind
