 That the Ellis company is the best aggregation of entertainers seen locally in some time there is no ques. ton. the individuals show training, are versatile and the ladies particu- larly attractive, while the ensemble numbers, duos, trios and sketches are excellent, and, if tonight's program is as good as promised it should not be missed.

 MILLION FAIR
 SEX CAN VOTE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Figures compiled by the census bureau and other govern ment departments indicate that the number of women in the United States over 21 years of age is 2S,035,- GOO, of whom approximately 26,500, 900 are eligible to vote in the November election. This estimate makes a lib- eral allowance for alien women, American women married to aliens and others ineligible.
 Exact figures are not available on . the number of women over 21 but ebarred from voting through various reasons. Census bureau officials be- lieve. however, that this year at least 100000 of the 5,250000 foreign-born women in the United States will not yet become naturalized In addition there were in 1910, according to the census. about 60,000 Indian women, most of whom were living on reser vations; S,607 Chinese and Japanese women ineligible to vote; a compar- atively small number of American women married to aliens and barred from voting for that reason. and large number deprived of the ballot under state statues in harmony with constitutional provisions. The total of these ineligibles was estimated at about 1,5O0000.
 American women married to aliens are not eligible to vote, the depart ment of justice has held, but foreign born women married to American cit izens or whose fathers have become American citizens are entitled to the ballot without naturalization proceed ings.
 The number of eligible male voters in the United States this year has not been determined Based on an esti- mated population of 105 100000, how ever, the census bureau figured that there are now 34.SO7000 men in the United States over 21 years of age, of whom probably 31,500,00O would be entitled to vote in November.

THE PARDON or GRAHAM

Governor Clements pardon Of For

q vast amount CT buzzing both in the
state and out. Some Of the big city

Banner, think was a proper and com
mendable act
1t is enc of those holly contested
questions on which people refuse to
agree and argument over the issue
merely renders the partisans more
firmly of the same opinion still,
The critics hold that Governor
Clement has interfered with the find
ings of court of justice and that the
&c yernors act win have a tendency
to make it difficult to secure convic-

! Supporters Of the governors elem
ency in the case, on the other hand
contend that the court erred at the
trial and that the conviction Of Ora
ham on the charge Of enlightenment
was due TO Political pressure and not
in accord with Justice, and, there
fore, Governor Clement was justified
in exercising his constitutional right
to pardon.
Still another point OF view is that
Mr. Graham was guilty OF misappro
priation Of funds but not Of larceny
or embezzlement. and that for the les
ser offense his punishment in loss
of standing, in financial ruin, in The
obloquy to which he has been ex

of all these things, prison sentence

Probably more people hold to thi
third view OF the case than to eithe
of the others. The constitution give
the governor the power to pardon an,

and he has used that power accordin

GOVERNOR CLEMENT
Is OPEN TO CENSURE
Boston Transcript Sees Reflection on
Courts in Pardon of Ex-Gov.
Horace Graham.


Boston, Nov Commenting on the
pardon OF former Governor Graham of
Vermont by Gov. p. W. Clement The
Transcript takes the position that the
present governors action, taken in the
way it was, constituted "a grave retec-
ton on the court" The Transcript
says that 1T would have been much
better 10 have let the law take its
course, at least until such time as its
formal demands may be supposed to
have been satisfied" The transcripts
editorial is as follows.
1T may be matter Of sound sym
pathetic satisfaction to Governor
Clement, OF Vermont, that he Is able
to set ex-Gov Horace r. Graham free,
with a certificate of high character
and OF distinguished public service, in
opposition to the decree OF the SUI
preme court OF the state which had
condemned the former governor to
from five to eight years in prison. We
cannot question the motives Of Gov.
Clements heart in the matter, but
there rs grave reflection on the
court in the terms of the letter to
Graham with which, the governor ac-
companies the pardon The letter, by
quoting the report OF the auditors,
which in effect covered up the finan-
cia transactions OF Graham while state
auditor, distinctly carries the implica-
/ tion that he was without offense. II
! this were the case, what does justice
/ in Vermont amount to? Has the SUI
preme court condemned an innocent
man? Moreover the high compliment
which Governor Clement Pays to the
former governor in his letter leaves
the impression upon Che public mind Of
spotless public service on the later
governors part
Either way the matter is looked at,
there must have been failure Of JUS
tlee in Vermont If Horace f. Ora
ham Is so stainless a man as Governor
4 elements voucher seems to imply, the
courts Of the state must have been
the Instrument OF an attempted act OF
ttyranny and injustice. But all who
know the states ideal of equal and
exact justice for all men will hardly
credit such an assumption as that The
ldistinct inference remains that il
would have been much better to LET
the law take It's course, at least until
such time as its formal demands may
be supposed to have been satisfied
and If Il be true that the ex-governor
as Governor Clement says, has suffered
enough, 10 have set him free then as
an act OF pure mercy, and not in q
manner to make the pardon a virtua
vindicltion.

French StOWaway,
 Lad of 13, Seeks
 DOughboy Daddy

New York, Jan. 3O.-Georges Pier rot, 13-year-old French boy, who came to America as stow-away. aboard the steamer West Cornifax, searching for his "doughboy daddie,' ,'' was claimed today at Ellis Island by the wife of Lieut.. Howell French, of Columbus, O., as her adopted child. She has asked the immigra- tlon authorities to reverse their de- clsion to deport him to France.
 Lieutenant French, who served with the 112th field signal corps of the 37th division, says he first met the lad at Dijon, France. Learning that the youngster was an orphan LieStenant French took him in charge and they were pals up to the time of the Argonne offensive Afraid the boy might be injured in the fighting, the officer sent him back to the lines to school, and that was the last they saw of him until Georges arrived in America.
