SOCIALISTS TO RUN.

Governor Smith. of New York, in calling special session of the iog.s- lature to consider the housing situa- tion. provided for special elections to be held so that the districts from which came the Socialists expelled from the assembly lately could be represented. It is believed that these districts are ones in which the hous- ing situation is especially bad. and the action of the Governor seems proper.
 Now com,s the announcement from Socialist headquarters that the five Socialist members referred to will run again despite the overwhelming action against them by the New York Assembly.
 They may be again elected. Con- tests over their seats will undoubted- ly follow. The argument will be raised that a previous expulsion from the body bars them from a return to it: else the decision of the Assembly would mean nothing. They will be prevented from taking their seats.
 Here Is a practical working out of the theories of the five members and the Socialist party. The decision rendered by the assembly practically holds that these men are ineligible to seats because the rules of their party, which they are sworn to up- hold. are antagonistic to the Con- stitution of the state. The argument of the Socialists undoubtedly will be that they have a perfect right to represent the people who cast votes for them-they will be seeking vindi- cation.
 The re-ult of their running will be to delay matters that would un- doubtodly prove beneficial to those very people. They will say they arc standing on a principle. Mean while the poor tenants of their dis trict, who might be relieved by the new laws this special session is called to enact. i'll be suffering because of the very acts of those who repre- ent then

WOMEN WILL HELP

It looks as though the women would win their fight for the vote. Tennesse may complete ratification Monday and favorable action. looking to that end has been taken in North Carolina.
 There is no gainsaying that there are arguments for and against woman suffrage. Looking at the thing in a narrow way and perhaps locally some of us might have been just as well pleased if the women. at this moment, had been directing theiren ergies to- ward seeing that fair laws were enact cd giving the tenant some leeway and a few moro rights against the landlord than he now possesses. and toward improvement of health conditions. rather than toward gaining their great end.

ANIMALS IN HOT DAYS.

All associations having to do with animals and which protect and un- derstand them, arc sending out warnings to let dogs alone in the hot weather. Dogs are irritable just as men are. and bothering them is apt to bring disaste-ous results. possibly fatal ones If the animal happens to be on the verge of or suffering from the rabies
 Of course 1t seems needless to cau- ton owners of dogs that they should be watered these days if there is no open water near at hand. And even if there is. care should be taken that water be placed where they will be sure to sec it.
 Proper care ot horses has been here referred to. But the weather has be- come so oppressive of late that a re- hinder Is not inappropriate. Water. of course. should be ready for them often. Their foreheads and legs should be bathe in the heat of the uay' ana when they are hitched care should be taken to find some shady spot where they may stand.
 Were it not for the instinct of the animal. so much more highly devel- opod than that of mvh because it is the animals substitute for reasoning power. there would be many more dis dressing sights and serious accidents. The instinct of the dog saves many children: the instinct of the horse saves many a man some value in horse flesh.
 Let mans reasoning power equal the animals instinct at least through these days when man and animal suf- fer alike from the heat.

be said that the gaining of the vote by women will result in a better state of affairs in regard to these matters. While a woman may have many legiti- mate duties outside her home, while certainly she has a right to enjoy her self away from it, and while the wo- man in business is most praisworthy in many instances. woman is about the home and has keener insight into it's needs than man. She will be far better able to formulate the needs: she will be more energetic in seeing that laws beneficial to homes and the dwellers therein are passed.
 Always seeing the justice of the woman's cause and always saying that it's success is enevitable, one may still fail to see what rush there was about it while these vital matters are pend- ing. But they will always be vii tai matters, and woman will all ways be on the right side. Home and health will be more safe with the woman possessing the vote than they have ever been. And home and health are pretty important mat ters in this life.

possible that action will be taken be- fore this appears in print the SUD- porters of Governor Cox can hold np the democratic governor of that state as the savior of the cause and point TO Governor Holcomb as the man who tried to wreck it.
 New Britain Poles are eagerly scanning the newspapers to learn the latest information concerning the fate of their native land which is thret- ened by the Russian Bolsheviki. Prob ably no other city its size boasts of so many native Poles or Americans of Polish decent as does New Britain where their strong muscles and iron blood are used to good advantage in the hardware industry. While most of them are content to remain in Amer ica and provides homes here for their children, realizing the advantages over Europe, all are interested in the war news from the Warsaw front. To many Poles, the names of cities figuring in the days news are familiar and their capture by the Bolsheviki is regarded with deep sorrow.
 Presidents Wilson's attitude, as re- vealed in his proclamation on the Po- lish- Russian situation, has done much to strengthen the hearts of the Poles of New Britain. With his customary firmness the president has declared against abandoning Poland to her fate and has promised to take every meas ure consistent with American tradi- tion and law to assist the Poles in their Gethsemane. In his proclama- tion President Wilson apparently has the solid support of all political parties: this opinion is formed after reading several of the leading repub- lican organs which have not been any too lenient with his administration. It is the belief in New Britain circles that the president could not do other wise after the Poles had so valiantly rallied to the support of the war not only through subscriptions to Liberty bands but also in man power. To aban- don Poland in her hour of stress would be un-American and inhuman.
 They were young.
 They had evidently been recently married.
 They were going away on their va cation, as revealed by their suitcases and bags.
 The Arch street car was proceeding toward the center of the city when the couple walked out and signalled to the motorman to stop. He applied the air. The car was brought to halt Just then the husband espied d jiney bus approaching in the distance. also travelling toward the city. They stepped back and decided not to take the trolley. For a minute the motor man glared at them, tried to check his rising anger but finally exploded: Well, you people certainly have a nerve Then swinging the control handle around he sent the car along, still ymuttering.
 Just another little act in the drama between the trolley car and the jit- ney bus.

It depre- cates the daily issuance of 26,000.000 marks in paper currency by the gov ernment.
 An appeal is made to the people to confine themselves to the essentisis of life-no mort foreign-made clothes or luxury foods, no more expeasive pleasure trips abroad; no more costly presents.
 The promoters, among whom are former Finance Minister Count Roo- dern; the economic expert Wa1ter Rathenau and a dozen we'll kAoVh professors and social welfare workSfs emphasize that they are not aso&6tcs nor prohibitionists but that they make a plain appeal to the conaTn6 6n sense of the people to restrict th@fr general expenditure for the sake Of the fatherland.
