RAILROAD PAY.

THE. worst feature about these railroad strikes which
ocr from tune to tune without the sanction Of the
B,ohehood and apparently without much organization on
Il. pa of workers who go out, is that while they usually
doaot involve great number Of men they stop the move
n.st 81 traffic and cause freight Jams.
And when such condition develops it takes pEods-
iou;, amount Of effort and considerable length Of time
before The roads are again able to get freight to moving
roads are for the time being in condition analogous

on Current Subjects
WOMEN WILL VOTE.
From The New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
A telegram from President Wilson
has persuaded Governor Roberts, OF
Tennessee, TO call a special session
Of the Tennessee state legislature for
consideration Of the Nineteenth
amendment. With the state Demo
cratic convention on record in favor
Of suffrage, and with San Francisco
anxiously affirmative, Il Is hardly
possible that Tennessee can fail to be
the thirty.sixth ratifying state.
Its action will be OF less political
than historical importance. Women
will not flock in crowds 10 support a
Democratic candidate, grateful to
President Wilson and bitter against
Senator Harding. The list OF ratify.
ing states is more Republican than
Democratic. Senator Harding is in
favor Of woman suffrage. That a
Democratic state should make the
amendment effective is not particu
larry significant. Even the fact that
this state is a onetime home Of anti.
suffrage sentiment is Of but passing
moment. The important thing Is that
the women Of the nation will vote for
the first time. The largest electorate
ever known in any country will cast
It's ballots. Perhaps the choice before
it will be unsatisfactory. That Is Of
| little moment. The important fact
will be that women. after a century
Of effort. will at last possess full pc.
litical equality.

The Railroad Labor board has announced that it will
hand down finding in the railroad wage controversy
by July 20. 1t would seem that this is taking lot Of
time especially in view Of the disrupted condition OF
the railroads Of the country but it probably will serve
to prevent spread of the sporadic strikes which nave
been making so much trouble throughout the country
Now that the board has positively fixed date LOT
decision no amount Of striking on the part OF the men
will hasten the matter so they might as well keep rsn'
on working until the board acts.

Won't You
Stop in Real Often?

We've whole lot Of fine things coming into
our stock from day to day. Particularly at this
time we are thinking about lie new dresses and
the new hats. Other things ale coming, too but
these two lines are mos. attractive both in point
OF quality excellence and the modest prices at
which we were able to purchase them.
1t means, Of course, that these modest prices
are passed along to our customers in accordance
with our long established practice.
The dresses are charming models for wearing
from now until the Fourth Of July and from then
on through August, September and through what
ever extra hot days the weather man passes out
10 u.s. We haven't seen all the dresses yet, but
we recollect the samples from which they were
picked were mighty nice ones.
Large, folpy, truly "summery hats are COM
Ing in rigth along. They carry the labels OF Gu
hid, Dahlia, Rawak, Bluebird, Jardine and many
other makers who keep our cases and counters
so well stocked all the time
Some Of the newer summer styles are Of dainty
organdie and laces for afternoon and evening
wearing and others are made Of straw or straw
and cloth fabrics for the hardest sort Of service
Just about anything body might want will be
found in these constantly changing assortments.
Some Of the hats, by the way, are designed in
our own work room, notably the organize hats,
which have been quite highly praised for their
prettiness ano moderate Dricings.
Let us tell you that It pays to keep yourself
posted about new things to wear-it pays a
whole lot both in tne savings you find by careful
shopping around and in the satisfaction Of know
Ing you have obtained the very newest there is
in the mater Of f:snion.
