ELECT PRESIDENT
The New Law Passed by Thirty.
Eighth General Assembly Per- !.
mits Women to Vote for
President and Vice
President
THE SUFFRAGE VICTORY
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
As the Ratification Of the Amend.
ment Does not Affect Right of
Iowa Women

Des Moines, Ia.-With their atten
tion centered largely on whether o
not the necessary ore more state will
ratify woman's suffrage, thus givinI
the ballot to all the women of tn
country, Iowa women and many O
the men as we'll are losing sight o
the fact that Iowa women may vot,
for president and vice president thi
fall whether national suffrage i
ratified or not.
This law, passed by the Thirty
eighth general assembly, seems S,
out of the ordinary and so unusua
that the average voter not only is no
acquainted with the fact that thi
law was passed but refuses to be
lieve such law was adopted whei
told Even legislators themselve,
ind state officials appear to have for
cotton that the law was passed. II
substance it reads:
Section 1173, supplement to tn,
code. 1913, as amended by the thir
ty-seventh general assembly, be ant
the same is hereby amended by add
ing thereto the following:
Provided, however, that the righ

vote, the came as men. at any elect
ion held for the purpose of electina
presidential electors. r
AT any general election hereafter
held Tor the election of presidential
electors separate ballot shall be
provided for women" And then the
law sets forth how this ballot shall
be drawn up.
This law has been passed by 8
considerable number of states in the
union, both democratic and repubn
can as well. 1t has been charged by
its opponents that it is not con
stitutional and that 1t would never
stand test in the courts. However
the legislatures which passed on i
debated the question Of its congtitu
tionality and the majority held to IN,
view that 1t was constitutional.
With this law on the Iowa statut,
books the women suffrage worker
of this state are going ahead will

whether Delaware or any other stat,
ratifies or not Their principal work
they say, is to bring to the reaiiza

am Johnson for president. Senator
Kenyon does not speak for the re-

opinion that his candidate won't
get single vote from Iowa. Iowa IS
for L0wden. The sentiment in favor
of the Illinois governor seems to be
growing stronger all the time and the
probability is that he will get the
solid delegation from this state. Nor
can 1t be said that Johnson is the
second choice. -Creston Advertiser

Anthracite Coal 100 Years Old.

Anthracite Coal 100 Years Old.
It comes with a sense Of surprise
to those who think Of the coal trade
as an old establisbeds business to
learn that the anthracite industry OF
Pennsylvania is only 100 years old
and that the arst shipments were In
1920. The Philadelphia Manufactur-
er points out that the Lehigh Coal e
Navigation Company shipped ss5
tons to Philadelphia in 1920, and
this amount Is said to have oversup-
piled that market. In 1919 Phila-
delphia absorbed more than 6.000.-
900 tons in its homes, factories or
shipping, and the total shipments
from the anthracite fields were 67,-
00O.0 tons. The total shipments
during the century Of anthracite min
ing aggregated about 2,400, 100000
tons. or approximately twice az much
coal as was mined by the entire
world In the banner producing year
of 1918.

THE DELAWARE DIsAPR0TSr.
MENT.

By voting against ratification ol
the Anthony amendment the Della
ware House of Representative has
In no way enhanced the place 1t holds
in the esteem Of the rest of the
country. Says the Minneapolis Trib-
une. It is a safe forecast that the
people of that state will not be proud
a few years hence of the action taken
by the House. Indeed, 1t is probable
they are not proud Of it at this mo-
ment. tt
The suffragists who have been i'm
portuning the Delaware Legislature
to make the state the thirty-sixth in
the roll of ratifiers are hopeful lot.
They do not purpose to give up the
watch until the Senate has spoken
a final word. They have faith that
that body will vote to ratifiy, that the
question will then come again before
the House and that the adverse vote
of 23 to 9 will be overcome on the
new test. It requires lot of faith,
indeed. to look seriously for such a
reversal.
Mississippi looked promising. for a
short space. but Democracy in that
state ran true to Southern form. The
House of Representatives stuck to
its guns Of opposition. To date the
governors Of Vermont and Connecti-
cut are adamant against all pleas for
special sessions. They are assuming
heavy responsibility in refusing
to give the accredited representatives
of their respective states chance to
return verdicts on the amendment.
They probably will not look back in
future years upon their position of
today with any great satisfaction.
To raise at this time the question
Of sts<es' rights on question Of this
particular kind is not flattering
commentary upon the the judgement
or the sense Of fair play Of those who
raise 1t. The American people have
very clearly demonstrated their de-
sire that women should be allowed to
vote on equal terms with men.

had the opportunity Of buying, not SO many
years ago, the so foot corner Of Holman and
Fayette Street from Mrs. Mary Schultz for
$4,000. Mr.. Sidmon McHie-one who
believed in Hammond's future, although not
a resident-bought it and today we believe
it to be worth more than $4,000.
Or perhaps the old residents remember
Doctor Br~agington, who was the chief govern
mental veterinarian at the old packing house.
He believed in Hammond to the extent Of
buying a SO foot lot on East State Street, near
the Nickel Plate R. R., also a so foot lot on
East State Street near Calumet Avenue and
the 50 foot ome Of State and Sohl Streets.
We don't believe he paid more than $4,000
for the three pieces THE
THREE, IN OUR OPINION ARE
WORTH MORE THAN $4,000 WITH
OUT THE IMPROVEMENTS.
Only last fall, E, N. BunneII bought the
100 foot corner Of Holman and Russell for
$4,000. Within a week he sold the 50 foot
corner to the Standard Oil Company, SO that
his SO foot lot remaining cost him practically
nothing.
Thomas Lavene and a syndicate in the
early days bought the old DR.. Henderson
property on East State Street for $4,000. To
day he would not take $4,000 for it.
On East State Street near Sohl Street,
William Hasse, one Of Hammond's pioneer
residents, bought a SO foot lot which had an
old cottage on it. He paid DR.. 7. f. Bell

Hammnd's most successful real estate
operators all say that they made their biggest
profits right after the period when the old
G. H. Hammond Packing Company-prac-
ticaly Hammond's only industry then
moved to the Union Stock Yards. Ham
mond's outlook was pretty gloomy in those
days-people were leaving it BY the hundreds
but these men who believed In Hammonds
destiny bought, and bought every piece Of
business property that the town banker
would loan them the money to BUY with.
In those days Hammond had to pay a
bonus to any concern she wanted to locate
within her boundaries. Finally the W. B.
Conkey Company was induced to build their
plant here and when it was completed the
event was made a gala day-a big parade
was held and all Hammond gathered at the
Conkey plant to celebrate.
From the date Of the coming Of the Conkey
plant to the date of the coming Of the Union
Railway Equipment Company has not been
long, but long enough to locate within our
favored city more than half a hundred I'M
portant varied industries.
So much for Hammond's past-hef future
is what you are interested IN, if what we state
IN this ad to be true.
All right, where was the most money made
in Hammond's early days? Why, it was made
on East State Street and South Holman
Street. Many of you reading this ad right now

$500 for it. A few years ago he sold it to
Kaufman & Wolff 81, 000-and few days
ago it was sold for $1,000.
We could tell Of many more sales-but
this list ought to be enough.
Hammond's biggest profits on real estate
have been made on business property.
But today-right now-Hammond's his
tory is going to repeat itself. And to the for
tunate person who can pay only 81 ,0C0 down
we are going to give them the same opportu-
nifty that Sidmon McF1ie, Dr.. Bragington, {.
