The electric incubator Is said to he
much safer, surer and more econorni-
cal than the OBLIGATED apparatus.
Current entering the incubator passes
through resistance elements in the top
Of the box; these are arranged to dis
tribute the heat evenly over the IS

prevent the escape of heat, while a
thermostat keeps temperature con-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE PASSES.

The coming of woman suffrage is
a great thing. 1t means that right
has won. Women will vote.
The world must not expect too much
from this. Experience has shown
that where women vote politics is not
particularly purer than in more hide
bound regions.
But this is aside A right has been
recognized and a long battle has
been won. Women will take their
place as the equal and help-meet of
men They have struck their chains
and are no longer chattels. 1t will
be Ito honor and assist" instead of
'to honor and obey" from now on.
The world freed its slaves in the
nineteenth century but delayed to the
twentieth to free its women. Women
are weaker physically than men.
They are emotional and less logical
Man depends upon logic while wo-
man depends upon intuition Often
intuition arrives at a proper conclu-
sion in a minute while logic fioun-
ders for day. Women are finer than
men. They have a natural, God-giv-
en- adherence of wrong and injustice
To be a great force in politics they
must remain out of politics. The wo-
man factor must be an independent
one. Woman must remain as pure
in her political ideals as she is in hel
personal life. Men are inclined to be
otherwise

convention. Then they played the
popular candidates eacn other ex-
nausting their strength. 1t is an old
game this-and a highly successful
one. Just like the old Army Game"
In Frisco, however, Democratic pol
iticians did much the same thing. Nc
Adoo. the choice of the rank and file,
was not nominated. Cox, the choice
of the bosses, was nominated. There
fore neither the pot nor the kettle
can say anything about blackness.
Let us be frank. We believe Cox to
be the stronger OF the two candidates.
We believe that Harding will wisely
pursue a porch campaign. we pc
lieve that political bosses are run
ming both parties because strong
enough man has failed to appear IN
either. A man strong enough to cap
tivate the people and to hurl the bos-
ses down to a dishonored grave.
But conceding everything, shun-
ming hypocrisy and delusion, Hard
ing will be elected The reason is
solely that the people want change.
They are tired of Wilson just as they
tired of Harrison and elected Cleve-
land. Then they tired of Teddy and
defeated both him and Taft.
Harding will be elected although
he may not make strong president.
In fact the rule rather than the ex-
ception is that our presidents are
good but mediocre men. Most OF
them went into the White House, re-
NAMED a term, and passed back TO
the shadows from whence they came.
They were never heard of again.
Congressional operation OF the
country is no new thing. 1t generally
happens that weakness in the White
House means strength at the other
end of the avenue. The time OF the
immortals, the Webster-Calhoun
period, saw this happen again and
again.
Then the crisis of the Civil war
came and out of the wilderness came
a great man. Of all the figures OF his
period he stands out the greatest as
we look back through history. The
others are out of vision or appear
pigmv like. But he stands like
great rock and as time goes on he
grows greater until the Lincoln legend
has become a sacred thing to Amer
leans.
Perhaps this is best so. We need
greatness and when our need be-
comes vital greatness comes. But a
great force is firing when the times
are dull. Then we prefer placidity.
We are likely to get it.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1920-08-25
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

1--WE hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal: that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unal1en-
able rights; that among these are
life. liberty and the pursuit OF happl-
ness"
In matchless language like the
foregoing begins that great declara-
ton that set in motion our country,
the United States of America. Great
DAYS followed. Then there were days
of despair and misery when it looked
as though the exalted idealism Of the
trainers and signers of the declaration
had gone for naught. Each man who
signed the document did so knowing
that he placed a moose around his
neck to be pulled tight should the
colonies fail. But finally Right tri-
umphed and the new nation came in
to being Because history records it
so we know that other movements of
our time and times to come cannot
fail. Whatever is is right
THE pursuit of happiness" show
often is it miscOnstrued? To many
people it means pleasure. To others
it means contentment. And that last
is best. Happiness for itself alone
is not worth striving for 1t never
comes. Instead more likely will be
disappointment and envy.
But it seems that the road to con-
tentment lies through honest achieve
ment and true understanding of real
values. The ability to pierce glitter
and lay bare the sham beneath it al
so brings an understanding of how
to live 2. life. This is noble aim, in
fact the only worthwhile aim.
Life is worth living and content
ment lies somewhere along its mile
stones. To find it is to realize the
pursui. of that golden thing, set forth
by the Country's fathers in their great
declaration.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1920-08-25
THE STRONGER MAN.

You will have to admit" said a
man the othe: day, that Cox in his
speech of acceptance showed up much
stronger than Harding"
All right we will not only admit
but will concede and agree. Cox is
a strong candidate. Right now he has
taken the leadership of the party
from Wilson's hands. The leadership
is in strong, capable, fighting hands.
Cox, to put it profanely, is "a devil of
a fellow"
We will admit the above and we
will also admit that Harding is not
the choice of the Republican rank
and file. The primary showed that.
Either Wood, Johnson or Lowden
would have been nearer the choice
than Harding. But a coterie of clever
politicians framed" Harding's nom
1nation, long before, it is said. the
