Information.

New York, April 4.-The most
significant feature of the precon-
vention campaigns Is the awaken
ing realization of individual re-
sponsibility by the American in the
operation of trained political OBJ
servers and those Identified with
the various candidates..
The war influx of women into
politics, and changing social and
economic conditions apparently
have bred in the people determi-
nation to have a greater and more
direct influence in the affairs OF
government and a broader knowl-
edge of the political situation. This
is evinced particularly by their
searching inquiry into the qualifi-
cations of the men considered as
Presidential possibilities.
I According to persons in close
touch with the situation the voters
are showing an inclination to pry
into the respective minds Of the
various candidates such as was
never known before. This inclina-
ton has manifested itself in many
ways. particularly through the good
natured "heckling" Of political
speakers.
Must Know Qualifications.
Any person who undertakes to
present the qualifications Of q par
ticular candidate these days must
be prepared to answer countless
questions hurled at him with be-
wildering rapidity and variety.
The candidates themselves are not
immune
It is the rule rather than the ex-
ception now for candidates, in the
course of an address, to face such
barrage as this:
Mr.. Jones, where do you stand
on the league of nations?"
What do you think of the income
tax. Mr.. Jones?
What is your attitude toward
union labor?'
How do you propose to reduce
| the cost Of living?
The questions are not asked with
a view of embarrassing the speaker.
They are intended to elicit specific
information. And they are gener-
ally successful. The interrogators
include women as well as men.
Women Take Interest.

The Easter Sunday aspect of the

of hundreds of tulip, crpcus and

the bulbs were planted it was hoped
they would bloom by Easter.

A Cleveland, o., woman complains
that girls are socially isolated in
the public schools of her city, if
they wear cotton stockings. Nothing
short Of silk will go.
The women of America built up a
wonderful country by thrift and pru-
dence. Many grandmothers of the
girls who refuse to wear cotton,
wore coarse fabrics woven in their
own homes. If the girls are more
anxious about the fabrics that they
put on their ankles, than the brain
stuff they put in their heads, they
will not do much to keep their coun-
try up to its present level.
What American life needs now is
more simplicity and less display. In
fiuential people should help make it
socially discreditable for young girls
to lavish money on personal adorn-
ment.

A Towns Trouble Makers.
New Hampton Gazette

One or the worst trouble makers
a town can have is the man who is
always advising some other business
man to run his competitor out of
town." You never see him running
his competition out, though. Such a
man has no conception of a whole
community going up together. He
thinks somebody must lose if some
one else makes anything. This is a
idea, for if it were true
the wealth of the world would never
have been gained. Working together
TO build up and develop and help
everybody to get along is the true
spirit of cooperation, and New
Hampton has not enough lof that
spirit. The next time somebody sug-
gests running somebody out of town
ask him why he doesn't do business
for nothing and run his own compe-
tition out of town.

viii Redecorate Court House.

The board of supervisors last week
let the contract for redecorating the
interior of the court house. The
contract was let to w. G. Andrews,
of Chicago, the gentleman who did
the decorating and painting of the
building when it was built in 1908,
eighteen years ago. The rooms have
never been decorated or painted
since that time. The decorations
were done in water color before, but
the work will be done in oil now, so
that 1T can be cleaned easily. The
contract for painting and re-decorat-
ing the building will be $4,000, which
rs $4,000 less than the work was
done for before. 1t is expected that
the work will start this week.

A Small Tax Sale,

by Treasurer l.. C. Christen on Dec.

sales in the history of the county,
only fifteen delinquent pieces being
sold. which amounted to $403.77.
The fact of the taxes being all paid
in here so well speaks mighty well

fifteen small pieces are put up for
sale. The highest item amounted to
