PoNfERENE,s pEFEAT

.Pomerene. Democrat United States
senator from Ohio, has been defeated
for reelection. To understand how
it happened it is but necessary to read
an editorial from the New York
Times printed before the election.
The Times said:
Senator Pomerene's denomination
in Ohio was opposed by the leaders of
the Big Five railroad brotherhoods.
He had supported the Esch-Cummins
act. He had opposed the Plumb plan.
He denied the right of either the rail-
way executives or a few union leaders
to suspend interstate transportation
and '.starve and freeze innocent and
inoffending people" But the influ-
ence of the brotherhood chiefs was
exerted vainly in favor of his opponent
in the Democratic primaries. Mr.
John j. Lentz. Now the Grand Presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers has sent to its mem
bers letter calling on them to sup
port Representative Fess, the Repub-
lican candidate for senator. Sen
ator Pomerene," writes the Grand
President, has clearly shown that he
is not a friend of organized labor and
that he has gone over to the other
side and is working in the interest of
big business"
The policy of union labor. however.
seems to have been to vote the ''ins"
out, whether or not they regarded
them as enemies of the organized
workers.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have gone

awhile and he wants me to elope with
him. 1 love him dearly, but can sec
no reason to elope, as I know that
if he asked my father for me my
father would consent to our marriage.
He absolutely refuses to do that He
wants to elope or nothing and says If

some one who will.

others and selfish, and his love for
you is trifling or he would mot say
that he will give you up for another
girl unless you will elope with him.
My advice is to give him up and wait
for some one with finer feelings,
greater capacity to love and an un-
selfish nature. Since your father
would be so willing to give his con-
sent to something you wanted, it would
be cruel to slope.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl

There is no particular costume for
a dumb party. Wear the dress you

The WOmaRS DecaiOgue-2.
VII-Thou shalt not consider that
being a woman giveth thee a right to
be a parasite, and a CRATER. Thou
art a human being as well as a wom-
an. and thou art a coward and a quit
ter if thou Coeth not thy share of
the worlds work.
VIII-Thou shalt cultivate cheer
fu1ness, and diffuse joy as thou goeth
thru life. Thou shalt not be one of
those accurSed woman who are but
human tear jugs, and VIII wet blan-
ket every occasion with their dismal
forebodipgs. and who kill hope and
enthusiasm with their prophecies of
disaster.
IX-Thou shalt bear in mind that
a women's greatest temptation is to
talk too much. Therefore. thou wilt
put a silencer upon thy tongue when
thou yearnest to babbie of thy own
affairs, and boast of thy husband and
thy children, or to confide the sad
secret of thy life to strangers. Neither
shalt thou indulge thyself in the
pleasant pastime of taking away thy
neighbor's character, and passing on
told to thee in confidence.
X.-Thou shalt treasure thy wom-
anhood as thy most precious jewel.
Thou shalt not ape the manners, nor
the morals of men, nor flaunt thyself
forth in public in breeches, for when
the Creator made the two sexes, He
knew what he was about, and in
tended that each should keep its own
place. Therefore, a mannish woman
who lacketh the beauty, and softness,
and the modest of a woman, is a

THE ARRIVAL, OF PROSPERITY

Nearly all observers now admit, says
Henry Clews in his Financial Review,
that the autumn activity in trade and
general business prosperity which
had been foreshadowed for a good
many weeks past is in process of real
ization. He points out that coal pro-
duction has continued to grow and is
now running at the rate of 10000, 900
tons of bituminouss per week. Car
loadings have exceeded their high rec
ord level previously reached. being
1 1,e03,759 for the week ended October
81. I'VE untitled orders OF the United
States Steel corporation are the Iarg-
est reported since February. 1921, and
ars-s said to be still increasing with
more and more activity in the utiliza-
ton of plant capacity. Output IN a
good many lines is greater than for
many months past.
Demand is stronger he says than
at any time for the past year or two
as indicated by trade reports which
show. for some 500 representative es-
tablishments thruout the country. an
increasing volume. of sales which is
some 5 to 10 per cent larger than
during the comparable month a year
ago. Holdings> of MERCHANDISE have
gone off as a result of this sharper
demand and there is corresponding
calf for a larger output of manufac-
tured goods with a view to filling up
the reduced stocks OF merchants thru
out the country. Higher prices for
both wheat and cotton as well as for
other agricultural products Lave COIN
cided with larger yields than had been
anticipated, the result being a decided
Improvement in agricultural prosper
ity in many sections OF the country.
All this, says Mr.. Clews, is accom-
panied by a very greatly increased
demand for labor. a recent report
from the department Of commerce
showing an immense falling off in the
percentage of/unemplpyment. In fact.
unemployment in the practical sense
of the terms-as applied to efficient
and employable indfviduals-is prac-
tically non-existent today. Wage in
creases have continued here and there
during the past week or two. the ef-
feet being to continue the general
upward movement of return to labor.
To the foregoing, Bradstreetp adds
his testimony as follows:
Expanding trade-fau jobbing and
wholesale business especially having

lowing Improvement in fuel supply.
