Voters: Awake, Awake, Awake !
Be careful, be thoughtfu.; not for today
alone, but also for the day to come. The
opportunity for saving yourselves, II lost
now, may eve again present Itself.
Embrace it therefore gladly ard prompt
ly. You want a MAJ indeed like Mr.. j.
Roberts, and he has accepted to stand
again, pressed by men who know his
eapability, and who are sure he will be
of value to us all in the critical times
ahead: therefore it is up to you in max
ing selection, to try and get IN the use
full man, with the peoples interest at
heart. Mr.. Roberts is no tied-dOWn EN-
ployed man. he is independent; he will
not have to obey the wishes and %injunc-
tons of any Boss. who may be under the
i fuence of another, or whose personal
interest may be blended with some
stronger side.
An idea exists in the minds of some
voters (men of small calibre of %course)
that the right of theirs of voting is only
an opportunity to them, for paying honor
to some big Bug" by giving him a vote,

Lawyer Stakemann was a straight for

WOMAN SUSPECTED
Of Staying THREE
IN TANGLE Of LOVE
Body Of Husband, Buried Eight
Years, to Be Exhumed in
Search for Poison.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The body Of
John Demmer, a well-to-do farmer,
who died eight years ago. is to be
exhumed and examined for poison. II
poison is found Coroner Hoffman will
order the arrest of Mrs. Mary Demmer,
his widow.
John Demmer and his wife lived in
the same house with John Kolze, a
wealthy farmer, and his wife at Schil-
Ter Park. Eight years ago Kolze's wife,
Eta. died suddenly and left her hus-
band life interest in an estate valued
at $50, 900.
There had been rumors that Kolke
was too attentive TO Mrs. Demmer,
and this had brought on "a quarrel be-
tween him and Demmer.
Very soon after Mrs. Kolze's death,
which the physicians said was due to
a heart lesion, Demmer also died sud
denly after drinking a glass of water.
After these deaths Mrs. Demmer
became housekeeper for Kolze. Then
arose talk of Kolze's infatuation for a
Mrs. Springborn, a pretty neighbor,
and two weeks ago he also died.
The three deaths and the talk of the
villagers led to an investigation by
Coroner Hoffman. He had the body
of Mrs. KolZc exhumed first and found
abundant evidence that she had been
poisoned.
John Kolze's body was then ex-
humed and enough poison to kill half
a dozen men was found in it, Demmer
was buried in a cemetery at Colby,
Wis, and the authorities there have
been asked to permit its elimination
and examination for poison.

WOMAN OF FRANCE
LOVES HER HOME;
GUESTS ARE RARE
Hospitality As Understood in
England and America Almost
Unknown to French.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The homekeep-
ing French woman is much more COM
mon than the average foreigner is apt
to think after a casual visit to Paris,
writes M. f. Clarke In the London
Daily Mail. The impression OF out
door life is given by the much-fre-
auented cafes and the strollers on
the boulevards. One imagines that all
Paris leaves its homes and spends its
life sitting on the pavement before
little tables drinking coffee, lemon
AIDE or beer. In reality very few wom-
en- go regularly to the cafe, and they
are not Of the better classes when
they do.
The French woman loves her home.
She Is Jealous of her privacy ana
opens her doors but rarely to any put
her own family. The stranger within
her gates is always a stranger, now
ever courteously treated. IL Is al
most as difficult to get into a french
home as II Is for a camel TO pass
through the eye Of a needle. One may
dine there. lunch there. have tea there
frequently, but that does not mean
that one has seen the French woman
at home.
The only people who know French
women in their own homes, apart
from their immediate relatives or old
family friends. are their servants ana
their governesses. There Is no hospi-
tality as English women know 1t.
The home life literally means the
home life.
Families foregather In large num-
bers and they do not like to mix
friends and family in the daily lie.
The strong, conservative element In
French women inclines them to ex-
clusiveness, no matter what their so
cial rank. The claim of relationship
is strong and they recognize 1t even
when they grumble about 1t.
The salon is never a common sit.
ting room. There is no tidy litter OF
work and books in 1t. IL is a place
where one receives, makes music,
drinks coffee after luncheon, and
talks politely.
The bedroom is the place where one
sews, reads, writes ones letters, and
does ones housekeeping books, and
upon which is stamped the individ-
uality OF the inhabitaat. The rich
woman may have her boudoir. but the
middle-class woman is generally lin
tied for space in a Paris flat.

Thought should be given to crime pre-
vention. When we get to the source
Of the crime the problem is solved. We
are trying to make It so hot for every
body having any part in crime that
there will be no ambition to engage in
the business. When criminals see they
are not going to get away with their
nefarious work they'll quit.
Kid-Glove Methods Scored.
IT believe in discouraging younger
criminals. Kid-glove methods won't
do that. Some social uplift clubs have
a perverted idea about going easy, but
the only way to reform a criminal is
with a shotgun or q public whipping
post. Criminals would have a horror
of the whipping post and drastic as
such punishment may seem, 1t would
be less costly in the long run, all
angles considered.

Two reasons are advanced to ex-
