TROOPS FOR WOMEN

William Allen White, in Judge.
 The other day in Kansas the wives of the min CTS tried to stop union strikers from work ing, the union strikebreakers having been sum- moned to break an outlaw strike. The girls were great little cut-ups, and tried to manhandle the lads in the mine rather scandalously.
 Then along came the governor with the troops. And why not? If votes for women, why not troops for women? The ladies should have all the rights of free born American citizens. And if being shot down by the militia for pick eting is one of mans inalienable rights, why deny the women anything they want? Give 'em both barrels!

PRESIDENTIAL ATTIRE
From the Washington Star.

Members of the Merchant Tailors Designers association were received at the White House yesterday, and on their return from this call declared that President Harding is the best dressed man who has occupied the executive mansion for many years. There is nothing be taken in umbrage by the friends and parti- sans of any prior incumbent. Sartorial stanl- ards impersonal and non-partisan. They are not even psychological. A well dressed man is one who conforms to them, regardless of his views regardless even of his physiog- nomy. Of course, his figure has much to do with the effect. Yet slender man may be perfection from the tailor's point of view as well as a stouter man. It would be, of coufse, unfair to compare Mir. Wilson, for instance, with Mir Cleveland in point of outline and gem eral architectural effect. Just so, to compare Lincoln and Harrison-the later Harrison would be absurd as regards height and also contour.
 as From the tailor's point of view "clothes make the man." This is only partly true. Some of the most brilliant of American statesmen have been indifferent in respect to their wear. As rule of course, Presidents have been partic- uar. Their office has compelled them to spruce up if before entering it they were at all inclined toward slackness of garb. Being constantly on public view, as it were, they have had to con- sider their personal appearance more distinctly than men in Congress whose appearances are regulated by their own desire to participate in debates. On the bench the silken gown makes all judges look alike as to their clothes.

AMERICAN PLAYING CARDS

From the Outlook
 Early American playing cards, according to an article in the American Printer, showed the national antipathy to kings and queens by pre- senting, instead of the conventional figures with which playing cards are now adorned, the following pictures: President" of hearts, George Washington; of diamonds, John Adams of clubs, Benjamin Franklin; of spades, La fayette. The "queens" were Venus, Fortune, Ceres and Minerva The knaves were repre- sented, appropriately reflecting the general feeling among the whites by pictures of Indian chiefs

CLUBS FOR ISSUE

"The Civitan club has several weeks past in- dorsed the good roads bond issue, which comes up for election January 90," says Reid Law son, president of the Birmingham club.
 Although it is against club policy to take any part in things purely political, Civilians are going to all that is possible to get out a big vote today. I understand that the secre- taries of practically all the clubs intend to call all their members and urge voting for the state issue, at least urge them to vote under the assumption that they will vote favorably.
 "I have suggested that in addition to the club member himself voting, that where he is an employer he make it possible or the em- ployes to get sufficient time off to vote."
