EQUALIZED STRENGTH.

More than quarter of the new voters will be from the sixth ward, usually q Democratic stronghold, ac- cording to reports, It is taken for grnnted. from this fact, that Demo- cratic strength will be added to the political balance in this city. Two in- teresting thoughts arise from this news and this assumption.
 Politicians believe, evidently, that where new voting strength comes it will be given to the predominating party in that immediate community. As so many of the new voters will be women this year, this assumption must mean that it is believed the women will vote mainly as the men of their families vote. Probably this is the correct belief today; its correct ness, however, indicates that things are not as they should be. No in- timation is intended that new voters should not vote the Democratic tick ct. The point to be made is that new voters should vote independently, as should "old" voters. The latter, in many cases, however, are hopeless; there is hope for the new ones be they members of Republican or Dem ocratic families. In the new voters is the hope of greater freedom from . party ties-ties which are good as long as they are intelligent, bad when . they become blind.
 There is also presented the fact that, outside of cases where special circumstances ought to influence the electorate of city or community, a city or community is much better off if it possesses big independent vote. < A city is apt to receive better gov ernment where the result of an cleo ton is not a foregone conclusion. Usually more criticism is to be found in q city or town where one party is SuCCcSS1 ul Ilo lo oeClii ing paradox, for it would seem that where there is general criticism of the government of city from year to year this very fact would indicate the likelihood of frequent change in such government But such is not the case.
 Tn a community where there is doubt of which party will be sue cessfuI, as each election time comes, good men or all or both parties may be prevailed upon to run for office, good men may be prevailed upon to seek the nomination or to accept the nomination if offered, in their own party.
 The situation may be summarized briefly in the statement that greater independence in voting is to be en- couraged and more general willing ness of good men to allow their names to be used as candidates for office would tend to result in wiser choice on election day.

He added, however, it would not deal
with wage controversies.

ARGUE SWAMP
LAND CASE:
Endeavor, to Prevent Suit BY Fed
eraI Government for Return
Of 100000 Acres.

Washington-In' order to prevent, if
possible, suit by the federal govern
ment against the state Of Minnesota
for the return of more than 100000
acres of so-called swamp lands, Attor-
ney General Hilton and two of his as
sistants appeared before the acting
secretary of the interior to present
the states position.
Under grant made March IL, 1860,
approximately 250,O00 acres of swamp
lands belonging to the Indians were
ceded to the state. Nearly 100000
acres of these lands have been pa
tented and opened for settlement by
the state. The Indian bureau> now
claims that much of this land should
not by right have gone to the state
of Minnesota. The big question is as
to what was properly swamp land.
The state of Minnesota claims that
the grant to the state is legal without
any question. But the states legal
authorities desire to avoid any suit If
possible.
Mr.. Hilton, together with A. F. Pratt
and c. A. Christopherson, assistant at
torney general, argued the states case
before Edward c. Finey, acting Sec
ertary Of the Interior 1t will be up
to the secretary of the interior to de-
termine whether or not suit is to be
brought against the state. The value
of the lands in question is said to be
several million dollars.

ALETHEA

a LETHEA, though not in common
" usage, is most important name.
1t comes from the Greek sAlethia,
which in turn was evolved from the
Greek "a" and the word meaning, *'to
hide, and thus may be translated as
truth" or Sincerity"
The first appearance of the name is
recorded in 1411 when Aletha of
Padua lived. 1t was Dona Maria
Aletha, Spanish princess for whom
Charles I Of England journeyed to
Spain while he was prince Of Wales.
Alethea was the form which ap-
peared in the famous Saville family
and was given vogue through it's
prominence. But perhaps the most
famous and memorable Alethea was
the lady to whom the captive cavalier
penned the much-quoted lines:
Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage.
To Alethea is given the additional
interest of naming the youngest bride
known to English history; in 1869, at
the age Of nine, Alethea Branding
was married to q man named Henry
Hitch The name proved very popular
in England and Ireland, where it is
sometimes contracted to Lefty.
Althea, meaning wholesome has no
connection with Alethea. The former
seems to have belonged solely to the
unfortunate mother of Meleager.
Coral Is Alethea's talismanic stone.
1t has the power to drive aGaS evil
spirits and to protect its wearer from
danger and disease. Thursday IL
