ONE IDEA PEOPLE

1t is surprising fact that in spite
OF the aggressive campaign conduct
ed by the Socialist party, they cast
only few thousand more votes in
1920 than they did in 1912. During
that period the number Of voters has
about doubled, owing largely to w0-
man suffrage. To have held its own
the Socialist vote should have doubled.
Why did it fail to do 30?
One reason is, that most Socialists
are not able to look at facts in any
broad way. but their minds firmly
fixed on one conception Of life, and
they make everything bend to that
conception. They do not seem to
weigh or consider any arguments that
may be presented to them.
If you presented properly compiled
reports to competent business man,
showing that in 20 representative
cities, municipal ownership Of street
railways had proved profitable to the
public he would weigh those state
nents for just what they were worth.
he would carefully look into the
accounts and see that all the charges
properly made against the operation
Of such roads had been made in these
cases Then if the facts indicated
such municipal ownership to be .
success, no previous prejudice would
prevent his forming at least q tenta-
tive opinion that public operation Of
trolley lines may be = very good pro-
position
But if you presented the contrary
proposition, with figures from 20 diff
ferent cities clearly showing municipal
ownership Of street railway to be Z
failure, it would make no impression
on the mind Of the ordinary Socialist.
Most of them in fact do not have q
good head for business, and could not

CLUB LIFE ron WOMEN

Women are repqtsd to Be- more
social than men. But they nsvsf
have done 10 much to develop 80
cial life in clubs and lodges. Thsi!
clubs are principally for Study and
community work. They hold periodi-
cal meetings at which they hear Iec-
lures and make plans for further
activities. They are more OF less So
cial, yet that side il not predominant.
It is interesting b note that in
England. where mems clubs can scarce
ly find members enough to pay their
bills, women's clubs have long wait
ing lists Of applicants eager to Join.
These clubs are not like womsn,e
clubs in America. They have club
houses, and are run more like mans
club in this country. This raises the
question whether women in American
will 20 more into this form OF club
life.
Two difficulties have prevented
their doing this in the past. First,
their lack Of sufficient incomes. Second
their home ties and the occupations
Of women having children.
The more civilization advances, the
more care and time mothers feel they
must give to their little flocks. This

of women who would enjoy the indie
pendent club and lodge life that men
have 50 long conducted. In these
times an increasing number Of women
have independent incomes They are
likely to develop social clubs on .
basis much like those Of men.
In many places women's clubs or
ganixed originally for literary study
and community work, are now estab-
fishing permanent club houses. Such
establishments will not merely con-
stitute . favorite haunt where women
will meet. More than mems clubs,
they will be centers Of progressive
community movements, and will be

The modern woman wants to see the
world move. As 30 many Of her sex
have demonstrated in JulesburE.

WHrTEWASHING THE FACTS

Big army and navy advocates are
much disturbed because the facts re-
garding government expenditures nave
at last reached the public. The cltl-
. zens Of the country have learned with
alarm that 1874 per cent Of the total
appropriations Of the United States
government for the fiscal year 1927
went to pay the costs OF past wars ana
to prepare for future wars, says the
American Union against Mllltarlsm.
1t is necessary to cover up these DIS
turbing facts some how, so the army
propagandists are regrouping the
years fgures-and spreading them over
the country in an effort to hide the
important facts. The costs Of the
World war, comprising 52.2 per cent OF
the whole budget are grouped together
conspicuously as though they were :n
entirely separate item. Beside them
are placed the amounts Of the current
appropriations for the Army and Navy
by way of contrast, but not with gthc
idea that they should be considered to-
gcther. They are to be taken separate
": there is to be no relation in the
readers mind between war costs and
costs for maintenance and enlargement
of the military machine. All empha-
sis is laid on the $3.50, 100000 appropria-
ted for the Navy and the $4lS,O00,OO
for the Army which together amount to
1873 per cent Of the whole expenditures
Of the government. The public is to
think the only important fact is that
the services get so small an amount OF
the whole. 1t is not pointed out that
even this 1873 per cent is more than
half again as much as the entire
amount that was spent for constructive
purposes for the whole year. Less than
twelve dollars out Of every hundred
spent by the government in the fiscal
year 1921 went for construction. The
balance went to pay the costs of past
destruction and to prepare for more, or,
in other words, to pay war costs.
That is the fact the militarists would
cover up and that is what the taxpayer
has found out. Having learned where
over three-fourths Of his taxes go no
amount of whitewashing of the facts is
going to silence his protests. Those
protests are pouring into Washington
from. all sides. He is demanding re-
suits from the conference about to
meet in that city; results which shall
mean a real reduction in the armament
burden of the world.

Three Previous Spouses Also Died Of

at Trial.

Twin Falls, Idaho-Lyda Meyer
Southland, convicted poisoner Of Ed
ward F. Meyer, her fourth husband,
and charged collaterally with the muir.
der of three previous husbands and
a brother-in-law was sentenced to a
term in the Idaho state .penitentiary
to a term of from 10 years to life i'm
prisonment
The defendant stood up, fixed her
eyes upon the bench and received the
sentence without tremOr.
The courtroom was crowded.
: The trial opened in the district
court, Judge w. A. Babcock presiding,
on September rs.
4 Following the ruling of the court
admitting in evidence testimony as
to the deaths of three previous hus-
bands and brother-in-law, evidence
IN the case of each of the four deaths
as was adduced with respect to the
Meyer demise. Chemical experts de-
tailed the results of their examina-
lions of specimens taken from all the
bodies and the medical history of
each was gone into fully.
II All six physicians called upon to re-
ply to hypothetical question some
1900 words in length, setting forth
practically all the evidence advanced
by the state, agreed that Meyers
death was due to poison, that said poi
son was administered at intervals dur
ing Meyers illness, and that the final
dose which actually caused death was
taken by him within 48 hours prior
to his demise.
. Witnesses were called from Mis-
souri,, Montana, Tennessee and Cali
fornia. In all 1872 witnesses were
named to appear on both sides, but
not all were called to the stand. The
state listed 142 witnesses on the in.
dictment, while the defense named
about 40. Hypothetical questions to-
gether with clinical discussions con-
sumed the greater portion Of the five
weeks devoted to the murder trial.
Many physicians, chemists and sim
liar professionals were called upon to
give testimony as expert witnesses.

Washington-Japan enters the week
Of the opening OF the armaRent con-
ference with a critical political situa-.
ton at home, with a national eco
nomic situation that is causing he-
leaders apprehension and with her re-
lations with foreign powers, particular
ly the United States, Great Britain.

fee, as at least open to improvement.
Many of the ablest Japanese are
now either in Washington or in other
parts Of the United States engaged in
the task of helping their country find
it's true place in the world.
Trend to Occidental Blamed.
The present situation is frankly at.
tributed by responsible Japanese to
the fact that in her rapid absorption
of western civilization, Japan has not
realized the inevitable effect of that
civilization upon her own couptrymen,
who have awakened to spirit of
liberalism and are demanding more
from the state as individuals.
from an agricultural one, Japan, more
and more dependent upon her indus
trial workers, is finding them almost
Unsuitable in their demands and recall
>citrant at time when the cost of liv-
ing is higher than in any other country
and when the country's manufactured
products are with difficulty finding a
world market in competition with
those of other countries where labor
is cheaper, where thrift has become
a habit and where the workman's ef-
ficiency is greater. ">'r@
The industrial situation in Japan is
believed to be a cause Of the prevail
ing unrest.
In foreign political relations, the
Japanese people as a whole are entire
ly dissatisfied with the trend of af-
fairs between their country and the
United States.
Everybody seems to realize the
vague estrangement that has devel-
oped since the epoch of the Russo
Japanese war, when the Japanese felt
that they enjoyed the sympathy and
approval of the American people.
Politicians Plant Seeds.
One great cause of that estrange-
ment, Japanese explain, is the fact
that it was the United States that con-
stantly protested as Japan, from time
to time, made political moves in con-
nection with her expansion in the Far
East. The effect of this was to pro.
duce upon Japanese minds the impress
sion that America, and America alone,
was becoming jealous of Japan's swift
ascendency in the world and was at
tempting to check it. g.
This idea is frequently voted in the
press Of Japan, where politicians
claim that their country has done no
more than other nations in the past.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS

The result of elections in different
parts of the country Tuesday furnishes
cheerful news to the democrats. The
pendulum that swung SO. strongly re-
publican at the national campaign is
apparently in opposite movement and
will continue unless the republicans
commence to get across some real stuff
that will at least show their better in
tention toward the people in general.
There is a feeling that the party is
playing the "big'' fellows game too
strongly and with fair amount OF
reason.
OF the elections Cordell Hull, the
new chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee says:
"Nghting Democrats who captured
numerous Republican outposts in Tues
day g election have given: evidence
that the spirit of the party is still mil
liant. Although this was not a gen
eral election, conservative interpre-
tation of the elections held indicate
that the people are far. enough away
from the mist and confusion of war
conditions and influences to see the
merits Of Democratic ADMINISTRATION,
to realize the great benefit 50 generally
enjoyed Hereunder; to see and become
convinced Of the increasing dement's
of the present Republican administra-
ton and to realize that the compre-
hensive program of reconstruction pro-
posedby the Democratic administra-
ton following the Armistice was OBJ
structed, and in chief measure, de-.
feated by Republican Congress dur
ing 1919 and 1920, with the disas:
trous results to business which have
inevitably followed; they indicate a
general trend from the Republican
party, including sections long under
Republican rule. - =
+Apart from the gratifying outcome
in Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland; and
other localities and the tremendous
victory in Greater New York, the, re.
suits in upstate New York cities, in
Bridgeport, Conn, following recent
Democratic victories in other Connect
cut towns are particularly gratifying
because they have been strongholds Of
reactionary Republicanism.
"The Democratic victories of Tues
day viii inspire Democrats everywhere
to renewed efforts with increasing ex-
pectations Of success. "
