kicking 1t Around

By one of the curious turns of
fate that often come in politics,
Oklahoma, a southern democratic
state, which not only opposed
equal suffrage, but as narrated in
this column last week, endeavored
in some cases by cunningly worked
out schemes to obstruct it after it
had finally been ratified, elected
the only woman member of con-
gress in the United States, and she
was a republican.
Miss Alice Robertson is the
daughter Of a pioneer missionary
who settled in the Old Indian Ter
ritory nearly seventy years ago.
She is herself sixty-fve years Of
age, a farmer, and a business wo-
man, for she owns a busy little
cafeteria in Muskogee. To make
the matter still more puzzling, she
has always been opposed to woman
suffrage and put forth her very
best efforts while the issue was be-
ing fought out to defeat it. But
when it finally was adopted she
made a lightning shift in position
and became candidate for con-
gress. She was opposed by one of
the ablest politicians in Oklahoma
but, as followers of the races say,
she beat him out "by nose Eff
ty thousand votes were cast, and
her majority was Just 273.
While she is to be complimented
for her energy and the high esteem
in which she is evidently held, it is
still true that she has apparently
failed to sense or to be guided by
one of the most fundamental truths
about our citizenship. She seems
to act for the most part upon hel
own whims, notions and caprices in
matters Of citizenship. This is {
sin that cannot be tondoned. Cit
lzenship Is not something to be
Kicked around like a football. ,
We may if we choose settle the af
fairs that pertain to our own per
sonal interests on the basis of snal
Judgment or even on the basis o
mere whim involving no judgmen
whatever. But as we are goot
citizens, we cannot settle the mat
tiers that involve the common goo,
and our country's interests an,
destiny in any such manner. Mis-
Robertson seems at this distanc
to be doing this very thing. Sh
gives no other reason for her sud
den conversion from an antagonis

Scrambled Eggs

To add to the quantity OF scram-
bled eggs beat into the eggs, before
frying, ono third to one hall upful
OF bread crumbs for each half dozen
OF eggs. If the cruml 5 are small
and no crust is used no one can
discover the difference.

The Housewives
Corner

If you want your soup rich,
dark meat color, but can't spare
the meat, use a little burnt sugar
dissolved in water.
To slice hot brown bread evenly
and without making it soggy, place
a piece Of clean Irvine around the
loaf, cross the ends, and draw them
gently through. This method is
also good for cutting hot cake for
buildings.
Put a slice of pineapple into each
jar of apples to be canned Sterilize
for thirty minutes. The apples will
taste like pineapples and are deli
cious used as a dessert with
whipped cream.

\ clergyman objected to wiping
the dishes for his wife saying: It's
not a mans job" She quoted this
scripture to him: 81 will wipe Je-
rusalem as a man wipeth a dish,
wiping it and turning it upside
down" He is still wiping the
dishes.
Bread that is no,rishing and so
satisfying TO the taste that a meal
could be made of it alone is made
thus: Make a sponge of three cup
fuls of very warm water, white flour
and a cake of yeast. Put in a
warm place to rise; when light and
bubbly all THROUGH, scald a cupful
of cornmeal along with a heaped
tablespoonful OF brown sugar.
When lukewarm, add it to the
sponge with enough wholewheat
-four to make a soft dough; llnead
we'll, LET rise until about doubled in
amount, mold into loaves, let rise
about an hour, and bake. This
may be varied in several ways; less
yeast takes longer to rise, but will
answer. The sponge may be made
with brown flour and milk; or all
brown flour may be used to make
a darker and more nourishing bread
1t is important not to allow the
sponge to be chilled. In cold wea-
ther slightly warm the bowl, bread
board and flour, but not too warm
as the yeast plant is injured by heat
| as we'll as by cold.

What Mr.. Bryan Sees


One of the interesting suggestions
that have come out of the recent
election is that OF Mr.. Bryan that
President Wilson should resign at
once in order that Mr.. Harding
may be given chance to begin
without delay the organization OF
the new association of nations
which he has promised to the
American people.
While no one Is expected to take
MIR. Bryan seriously any more, or
at least not very many do, tins
suggestion has several angles that
make it worthy of some thought
whether we agree with it or not.
One is that there seems to be no
good reason why four months
should elapse between the election
and the Inauguration of a presl-
dent. 1t is a relic OF the days
when public officials travelled to
Washington by stage coach over
roads that were often impossible
for DAYS or even weeks at a time.
1t was necessary then to allow
plenty OF time for them to make
the trip: and it was thought that
four months were ;bout right.
Now, the trip can be made from
the farlhest parts OF the United
States in less than a week, unless
we include Alaska OF the Philip
pines. 1t is clear that the case Is
one in which the laws have not
been changed to meet changing
conditions; and there is some rea-
son for demanding that we bring
them nearer down to date. Just
i'm this connection, too, we should
notice that in other democracles
generally, the time between cleo
ton and Inauguration is relatively
short. in some cases being only a
few days. This means OF course
that in other countries the eX-
pressed will of the people can be
quickly executed while in our own
it can be INSTRUCTED for several
months, Just as it will probably
be in this case, for no one expects
! Mr.. Wilson to fall in now with the
republican program and devote
himself to carrying 1t out even
though the people have expressed
an overwhelming desire that this
he done. Instead, we shall doubt.
less have the president, who should
set us the highest example OF ODE

since every citizen OF our republic
is expected to observe this funda

EXPENSE GROWING

Chicago, Oct. 2.-To what an
enormous extent the government ex-
penditures per capita have grown in
the Wilson administration is empha-
sized by Representatives James w.
Good, chairman of the house appro-
priations committee. -
For the fiscal year 1919, the ex-
,penditures per capita on behalf Of the
federal government rose to $500
for every man, woman and child In
the United States, said Mr.. Good. In
the administration of President
Thomas jefferson they were about
$3.50 per capita. = -. <.
'Jeffersonian democracy is totally
unknown to Wilsonian democracy"
said Mr.. Good.
"During the administration of
President jefferson, the total yearly
expenditures for the national gov
ernment avertged about $3.50 per
capita. Even during the four years
of the civil war, the annual expense
of government mounted to only $50
per capita, and during the four years
following the civil war this was re-
duced to $11 per capita. 4-.s
"But during 1913, the total of all
expenditures for the fiscal year, in
Guiding foreign loans, was equiva-
lent to an expenditures of $210.61
for every man, woman and child in
the United States. For the fiscal
year, 1919, this amount had increased
to $339.52. ....
.''To cap the climax, notwithstand'
ing this huge sum of money for the
f.expense of carrying on the govern.
ment, President Wilson and his cab
met heads called upon congress tt
) appropriate more than $500, 0OO,
900 for the expense Of the present

man Good, "is largely agricultural
and my congressional district has, l
presume, as prosperous farmers as
can be found in the United States.
These Iowa farmers, as well as farm
ers everywhere, know that the needs
of the allies in the great world war
and not the democratic party brought
prosperity to the American farmer.
"But the foreign market for
American farm products that was
created by the war is fast disappear

nations" he said, "are getting on
their feet, and they will not only stop
buying from US but will begin to
compete with US. To enable the
American farmer to meet this out
side competition a revision of the
tariff law is necessary" he declare"

"A Lawyer for q Lawyers Job"
-. This is the slogan adopted by the
Republican State Central committee
relative to the candidacy OF Attorney
General Hilton for reelection.
The statement is most fitting and
appropriate one. Mr.. Hilton's ability
- a lawyer is not only recognized in
Minnesota but in many other states OF
the union. He was honored by being
unanimously elected for two success
sive years as president Of the National
Association of Attorneys General, dis
tlnction never before conferred upon
any other man. The association re-
ferred to is made up of attorneys gen.
eral of all the states in the union.
General Hilton is q lawyer devoted
to his profession, a man of excellent
Judgment and possessed Of exceptional
executive and administrative ability
1t is conceded by those who know, that
the attorney generals office has never
been more ably managed in the history
Ut the state than during the present
1ncumbency Former attorneys gen.
eral now living willingly and frankly
admit it..
Mr.. Hilton is forceful, fair and fear
less. He is not grandstand player
seeking the limelight, rushing into
print with or without excuse. His
management is. able, safe, steady and
tawyerlike He believes that Mime
sofa is entitled to service in its legal
department such as the magnitude OF
Minnesota's needs reqhire and that the
attorney generals office should be a
law office, not a political or self-serv-
ing office.
Each citizen Of the state, without re-
gard to his station in life, race, belief,
condition or politics, secures at Gen.
eral Hilton's hands equally fair and
careful treatment and attention.
Any private business concern having
q lawyer that had served it faithfully
and efficiently, who knew all the de-
tails of its business and had in charge
important litigation, would not change
lawyers simply to give some one else
q Job. The state should act in the
same sound business way.
As illustrating the magnitude of the
work of the office, attention need only
be called to the fact that more than
one million dollars per year is secured
by him and placed in the state treas
nry as the result of suits successfully
tried, claims enforced and inheritance
taxes collected. Minnesota can i'll at
ford to change its attorney general at
this time. 1t has an able Trustworthy
