achievement for those who have
arduously labored for woman
suffrage through the last decade
and the hope and desire is that
politics will be greatly improved
through giving the ballot to
women.
In commenting on national
woman suffrage which has not
been entirely gained as yet, the
Duluth Herald Of Tuesday writes
under the caption of Come on
Delaware" as follows:
'"The state of Washington yes
terday ratified the Susan B. An
thony suffrage amendment.
THAT makes thirty-fve. Thir-
ty-six are needed.
Come on, Delaware,
And come on Connecticut,
too; for even when the necessary
thirty-sixth state has ratified,
there is still danger.
"Ohio has ratified by legisla-
tive action. but its supreme court
has held that ratification is not
complete there until the people
approve, which they cannot do
until November. IF the supreme
court of the United States up
holds that view. Ohio drops, out
of the list and even with Della
ware added the thirty-six will
become thirty-fve.
Therefore, for good measure
and safety, Come on Delaware
And come on Connecticut! =

The Senator Newbcrry trial
down in Michigan is a good ex-
ample of how far any one can 90
in buying a public office. II was
a mighty good thing that this
election fraud was exposed and
the gang cleaned up. Newbcrry
received a fine Of $4,000 and
two years i'm the federal prison
while a large number of his as
sociates also received fines rang
ing from $4,000 down and pris-
on sentences. One Of their ex-
cuses was that other elections
have not been conducted any
cleaner or better, but this ex-
cuse did not hold water and
should not. Other grafters will
also be taken care Of in time
when Uncle Sam gets his hands
on them. II was a mighty good
move on the part of Uncle Sam
and any citizen who believes in
clean politics welcomes it. This
clearly demonstrates that there
is a limit to the power Of money
and that character and honesty
comes first.

About Milk Prices.
Officials in the cities are fight

CAN TIE OU|JA BOARD
NAME ITS own INVENTOR
Baltimore Brothers Go to Court
to Get Information on Ques-
ton Answered.

Baltimore, March 9.-At tho moment
that thu Ouija board, which some years
ago excited the country and then virtually
disappeared, has again come into the lime
light throughout the world, two brothers
are engaged in litigation here over the
ownership of the patent.
The trial is now in progress OF the suit
of Isaac Fuld, trading AS the Southern
Toy CO., who is asking for an injunction
to restrain his brother, William Fuld, from
deriving peouniary profits through the
sale of the Ouija board.
The plaintiff asserts that in 1904 he
originated, manufactured and placed upon
the market the board under the copyright
name of the Oracle and that later William
Fuld started the manufacture OF the
Ouija board.
William Fuld asserts that he and Isaac
Fuld were in business together years ago
and that the Ouija board is tho original
talking board and claims that'thc Oracle
talking board manufactured by isaac
Fuld is copy of the one placed on the
market by him.
The Fulds about 2s years ago were in
charge of wooden toy factory known as
the Kennard Manufacturing Co. and the
Ouija board was one OF Il Q devices they
made to entertain the young. It quickly
won tremendous popularity and so over
shadowed the business of the concern that
the plant was largelysdevoted to the
making of the Ouija board.
William said today that last year the
boards turned ont were distributed
throughout the United States and Canada.

AGED SKIPPER QUITS
SEA TO GO FISHING
Atlantic Captain Has Logged q
600, 900 Miles and Never Lost
a Ship.

Hoboken, N. j., March Capt
Anton G.. Thomson is due for that fishing
trip at last. As soon AS he gets back
to Copenhagen, completing his fifty
fourth wear at sea, during which he has
logged over 100000 miles, the tall,
spare skipper, who stood on the bridge
of the Frederick VIII, of the Scandi-
navian-A American Line, as he warped her
into her slip today, will retire from active
service, and put out to sea again to catch
fish.
There was quite a delegation of Off
Gals Of the line TO greet Captain Thom-
sen when he came down from the bridge,
his weather-beaten face widened into n
bashful smile. his eyes almost shut in a
squnt caused by the glare of the sun
on many waters Halvor Jacobsen, gen.
eral passenger agent of the line, told him
that he is to be presented with COM
plete silver service by the company, in
addition to his pension, which will be al
most equal to his present salary.
BY and by, Captain Thomson re-
gained his case in the face of the fuss
that was being made over an everyday
ssilorman." and recalled some of the
big events of his long career.
.'The happiest trip | ever made?
Well" said Captain Thomson, "that
must have been the trip from Copen-
hagen to Tilbury with the first batch
of English prisoners of war to be re-
patriated from Germany. The first cap
tured were home first, so this crowd was
made up of men who had been away
from home for four years or so. ! reckon
there were times when most of them
thought they'd never see old England
again. You couldn't help being happy
On that cruise-some were SO happy they
cried.
'.Fellow gave me dog, Bobbie. Brit
ish port regulations wouldn't let him
take the dog back with him after Bobbie
had been in the trenches in France and
lived in a prison camp with the troops
all that time. I've got Bobbie at home
now. Good pal, he is.
"Then there was a cruise to New York
and back that wasn't so bad. / met
woman on the way over and again on the
return voyage. Finest woman l ever met.
She's married now and living in Copen-
hagen Name of Mrs. Thomsen."
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-03-12

Captain Thomson laughed sly laugh.
'eYes, s'pose y'might say I've seen
lots Of sights. Saw the greatest right
here in New York harbor when Count Won
Bcrnstorff came aboard with his big
party to 60 back to Germany. Seemed to
me every newspaper reporter and editor
in America tried to climb up the lines or
through the ports to get aboard us, while
all the secret service men in the world
tried to keep en- off, an all the photog-
raphers in creation took pictures Of them"
That voyage they were held up in Hall
fax by the British while every thread
of trunks of baggage owned by the Bern
storff party were searched for rubber and
codes.
Captain Thomson went to sea in the
days when they had wooden ships and
iron men" and has lived to command
some of the finest iron" ships afloat.
On his retirement he will be certified as
senior captain of the scandinavian Amcri-
can feet-the man who first went to sea as
'boototpat' at the age of l3 on coaster
At IL he signed on schooner which put
in the next two years and half in circling
the world. That cruise gave him so much
experience that he got mates ticket on
returning. He got his captains license
and command Of the old Thingvalla in
1881. Since then he has commanded the
Geysel, the Island, Heckla, Amerika,
Norge, Alexander and Cetietjen.
In all that career he never had an acci-
dent at sea, although he did go through
a severe trial when one of his vessels
cast a propeller. Captain Thomsen's
experience in sail proved its value on that
occasion, for he rigged sail and brought
the ship into Greenock, Scotland. For
this the King of Denmark knighted him.
Twice subsequently he was knighted for
other feats of daring seamanship and he
also had five decorations from the kings
of his own country Norway and Sweden.
