Programs,, arguments and accom-
plishments are probably not the
total determining influence in a
woman's choice of a political party
or husband. She makes up her
estimate of both by certain indie

are a composite of intelligence,
leadership, force, judgment. re-
liability, stability soundness, mag
nanimity, and effectiveness. Those
are the things that are wooing her
loyalty and inclines her to the Re

Pittman, along with other sena-
tors Of his party, when speaking in
the west gets busy telling the
farmers that the new tariff robs
them and puts unholy gains in the
pockets of eastern manufacturers;
while the Democratic senators who
are in the east, spouting off about
the iniquities of the new tariff bill
are busy as goats telling the manu-
facturers of the east that the
tariff bill is putting untold millions
in the Golfers of the farmers, fruit
growers and live stock raisers.
What they are trying to do is to
play both ends against the middle,
but they are sadly out Of luck.
While the average family manages
to squirm along in pretty decent

Last Thursday was President
Hardins's fifty-seventh birthday, but
there was. no celebration Of the
event. One who is not acquainted
with the editor of The Silver State

re hard to convince that he is a
celebrity Of greater magnitude than
this man Harding, who is enjoying
a little fleeing, transitory fame,
while occupying the position of
President of the United States. As

Speaking Of bolshevists. There
is much going to show that the
United States is faring just as well
with Bill Haywood in Russia. The
further off William goes and stays,
the better We will like him. Bill
wasn't what you might consider any
great help around the house.
Then there is Gene Debs. Gene
seems to have slid into innocuous
desuetude, and there seems to be
no disposition to stop his sliding.
We are absolutely hard-boiled re-
garding one matter, and that is a
