Dignity As an Asset In
 the Presidential Campaign

A MARION, O., dispatch quotes A Senator Harding as saying, I trust it will now be generally un- derstood that my front porch cam raign IS to go on. All reports to the contrary, of course, are silly"
 Supplementing this statement, Sen ator New said, Senator Harding's campaign will be conducted in ac- cord with the dignity of one who asrires to the high office of Presi- den, of the United States. Of course, he will deliver a number of important addresses at important centers of population That has been his plan since he was nominated. I am only speaking for myself when I say we care not for the antics of Governor Cox, nor do we believe the American people care for the antics of whirl- wind dervish. We do not think they want Jimmy in the White House."
 All of which is sheer political buncombe. Harding will stay on his

T was recently in a small Missis- sippi town where one of the most prominent men in the community mad died a few days before,' said Mrs. Mary Gillen. Tt seems that there was no automobile hearse in the town, so one had been brought from Memphis for the occasion. In honor of this man an aviator had brought his plane and had flown over the procession on It's way to the cemetery. An old negro woman who had been in the family for many years had never seen an airship. While I was there l was talking to the old woman, and she was telling mo about the funeral her old master had had and said:
 "Tt was just grand. Folks came in automobiles. horses and even wind mills"

 Tt is not much trouble to get up In the building, but getting down without taking the stairway is the problem.

LOVE AND L.r-

Anonymous Most men know love. but as part ~-
 life; They hide it in some corner of ths
 breast, Even from themselves; and only whep
 they rest In the brief pauses of that daily strife Wherewith the world might else be not
 so rife, They draw it forth Gas one draws forth To soothe some ardent kiss-exactins And ho%d it up to sister, child or wife An. me! why may. not love and life be
 one Why walk we thus alone when by oui
 side. Love like visible god, might be oui
 guide? How would the marts grow noble. and the street, Worn like dungeon flor by wear,
 feet, Seem then golden courtway of tAs
 sun.

Its curious how death comes to some men," said ". M Cosby. Jr.
 T was never more struck with this than when at Brest waiting to come back home. One of the men had been through the thickest of the fighting and had come out without scratch and was waiting to embark for home A soldier in the same barracks, on nearby bed had in some way gotten hold of Belgian automatic revolver and was lingering it. The man of whom I am speaking warned him to be careful, as the gun might be loaded and that in any event it was a strange weapon and should be handled with care. Laughingly the man with the gun pointed it at him and fired. It was the old story of mot knowing it was load ed" The man who was shot lived for about and hour and up to his death was begging for a gun to kill the man who had shot him"

tion. Both Cox, the democratic can- didate, and Harding, the republican candidate, were committed to the amendment.
 In such states as have had equal suffrage by statutory enactment, the women, it is claimed, usually voted the republican ticket.
 How will it be in the country at large? It is reasonable to assume that they will, as rule, vote as the men vote. In other words, the ballot in the hands of the women will have little significance so far as concerns numbers.
 Will all women qualified to vote exercise the privilege? It being a new experience with the masses of the gentler sex, a large number, espe cially of ladies of advanced age, will hesitate, through innate modesty, to go to the polls, but many men quail | fled to cast a ballot fail to do SO. 1 It is believed, therefore, that the men will not outnumber the women to any great extent.
 The question of equal suffrage was vigorously agitated in New Jersey in colonial days, and women were voters down to 1907. They were then dis franchised, but the agitation was re- newed in 1880, but without avail.
 In 1848 the first general convention was held, in which equal suffrage was demanded. The first petition was sent to Congress in 1866. | The movement had it's uI and lQOWnS, put llndiiy, III tho Pioooio SS" eration, four states gave the women the same rights as men. In recent years the movement has progressed rapidly.

Mine Experiment Station

 lA pertinent station of the bu. reau of mines at the University of Alabama is right, because the uni versity is in the heart of the princi- pal mining region of the southern states.
 The experiment station will grad ually grow into a great institution as industrial corporations of the Bir mingham district become familiar
 with it's facilities and extend their cooperation. It will serve industrial
 Alabama we'll by affording nearby and immediately available opportuni- ties for analyses of coal, ores and other minerals.
 It adds to the prestige of the uni versity. It is another recognition of the importance of the industrial dis ltrict of Alabama. Congressman Oliver and Senator Underwood are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts in Ala bama's behalf.

TANKS MOVE FAST
 ON WESTERN SWING

Since leaving New York for their first swing around the Western end of the American League circuit the Yankees have been far more success full than has been their, custom on Western trips of recent years. The team has been moving along at 700 clip, with seven victories to it's credit in ten games played, and needs only one more victory to get at least an even break on the trip. It will take a decided slump in the next six days to prevent the Tanks from get ting an even break, as they have two more games at Chicago and four at St Louis before they hit the East ward.
 This morning the Hugmen are well intrenched in second place, five and one-ha1f games ahead of the third place White Sox and about a game and a half behind the league leading Indians. As Speakers team did not play during the last two days the Yankees were able to make up some of the ground which they lost durin g the Sojourn at Cleveland

COMMISSION LIFTS
 BAN ON K. o. PALITZ

In a. brief meeting the Hartford boxing commission awarded two more permits for bouts to be held in that city in the future, conferred as to fourth and removed Dave PaIitz from the ban that apparently was put on the boy at the previous session
 The next show will be held Monday, June 2S. by the Claremont Athletic club, of which Joseph Neivert is the matchmaker, and the main bout will be between Sammy Waltz, the local lad, and Willie Murphy, the Staten Island hurricane, who is considered one of the most aggressive feather weights now in captivity.
 Waltz and Murphy clashed some time ago in Waterbury and the sev- eral thousand fans who watched them step through 12 rounds were unani- nous after the bout that it was the best ever staged in that city. When Neivert told the commission that he would put on these two hustlers of the ring, the commission granted him the permit to take place of the pro- posed show of the Olympic A. C., can- ceued when the commission refused to allow the clubs main bout be- tween Pa1itz and Bogash to go on.

RUTH BOOMING AT
 ANOTHER RECORD

Babe Ruth, the big gun of the Yankee attack, is booming away at another record besides that of mak- ing home runs If he continues at the clip which he has been showing up to this time, Ruth may eclipse all past marks as far as records have been kept for driving runners over the plate. Ruth has gone beyond the half century mark in driving runs home, his total reaching 55 runs in yesterdays game at Chicago. On this basis he should come close to 15o runs during the current playing season. It is unusual for a player to drive in as many as 100 runs dur ing a season.
 Ping Bodie ranks second to Ruth among the Yankee players in this important feature Bodie has cash ed in a total of 30 runs. Del Pratt and Duffy Lewis are tied with 27 runs apiece, and Bob Meuse1 has come along fast since becoming a regular though he has slumped during re- cent games. Meusel has total of q runs to his credit. Pipp, with 23 runs, and Peckinpaugh, with 22, are other Yankee regulars who have chased 20 or more runs over the p1ate-
