WILSON LEGAL
 MEMBER OF
 SCHOOL BOARD
Commissioner Lynn w. Will son Replies To Statement of President Burns.

Commenting on the statement
 of Owen Burns, president of the
 Board Of Education, that he was
 not legal member and that ne
 (BufnS) was the only Democfsac
 member of the board, Commls-
 day:
 This is the first time in many years in which members of the Board oi Education have been elected by I'e people. Until this time members have been elected in two ways, by Democratic and Republican eonven- tions and by members of the board when a vacancy occurs. MT. Burns for instance is merely the apcO1nt- ment of the Dem ocratic convention which nominated him. Alter he was nominated he had to be elected There was no election in this matter
 The law does not permit vacancies to be filledaotherwise than by the vote of the remaining members of the board. Members so elected are equal in authority to members chosen IT any other way and their powers come as directly from the people as any other power.
 Pence viewers are usually elected by the people. Judges of the Supreme Court are usually appointed. This does not make the fence viewers SUI perior to judges. MT. Burns has nc superiority over his fellow members because he was picked by Demo cratic convention instead of by them

HOW LONDON
 SEES VICTORY
 OF DEMOCRATS

London, Nov. 9.-By the A.
 PD-The come back made by the
 Democrats in the American elec-
 tions last Tuesday is explained to
 British readers by their newSpa-
 pers in many ways and the specu-
 lation which the editorial writers
 indulge in is quite diversified.
 Some thing the pendulum merely
 swung back but others interpret
 the voting as revealing widespread
 dissatisfaction with the Harding
 administration and many of it's
 works, including the tariff and the
 enforcement Of prohibition.
 Throughout England the Amer
 ican elections have attracted
 more editorial comment than is
 often the case.
 The Times pays a tribute to the Harding administration as one which has achieved successes of which Amer ,ica may well be proud, ''n otably in its feninently skiIIfu1 handling of the great interests at Washington last tall.
 The Chronicle regards the Demo cratic victories as quite enormous and significant and ascribes the change as partly the result of a natural swing of the pendulum, partly to the "eX- cessiVe application of prohibition and partly to the dissatisfaction with the supremacy of big business in this and the tariff" The new strength of the Democratic party will surely make tLoCiI ACflI I41S Mi OIilCIS c1uuS, lC1IlAiE its readers that the Democrats still retain alleg ance to the ideals oi Woodrow Wilson.
 The Westminster Gazette derives from the election the hope that the Americans are veering som ewhat to- ward cooperation with the League o1 Nations. although 1t thinks it hardly possible that there will be any col siderable change in the attitude oi the United States on this question ir the immediate future. The Westmin- ster Gazette was surprised that wom- sn candidates were so successful.
 The Daily News says the turnover Eas due mostly perhaps to the general disgust of the electorate with the failure of the Harding administration to do anything at all. It will make the already hard task of that ad- ntnistration still harder
 The Graphic sees in the election results in the United States a trump h by the prohihition1sts and makes of it lesson to ''the stupidity s,f ex- 
 The Dublin Freeman's JorunaI says the Americans. when they were sick of Wilson and the treaty of Versailles had to vote Republican to get rid of them, put they did not desire to be dosed with Republicanism. '"Th e result has 8 moral for Conservative politicians everywhere" the Dublin paper concludes. They should not abuse their opportunities once buried politics are best left in the grave gard"

Riddick. Republican, to succeed Sen ator Myers, Democrat. Only two Senatorial contests remained greatly in doubt, those in Washington, where former Representative Dill Demo- crat, was leading Senator Poindexter, Republican and in North Dak ota, where the Dem ocratic candidate, J. r.

 None of the members seemed 10 place much confidence in the state ment of Attorney Fallon, who Ravens retained as counsel before his de- parture that Ravens would be back in a couple of days that he had just left to receuperate.
 Four days have already passe q since he was last seen and most of the creditors are now of the opinion that if Ravens does return i1 will only be when brought back.

Republican Leading.

St. Paul, Nov. 9.-Only one con- gressional seat in Minnesota was un- decided today-that in the eighth district. where Representative Oscar J. Larson, Republican, was leading William L. Carss, Democrat with slightly more than half the district heard from.
 Many of the precincts in the eighth district are scattered through the north woods section in northeastern Minnesota and reports are slow in coming in.
 Defeat of two of Minnesota's con- grsesmen was reported yesterday and last night-A. J. VOlstead in the sev- enth and Halver Stinnerson in the ninth. The former was beaten by Rev. O. J. kvale, Independent, and the latter by Knud Wefald, Farmer La hOr.

Y.
 It's the same story over again. They try doctors and different medi- cines, but feel no better. Finally they take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and you can see its value in the case of Mrs Miner.
 That's the truth of the matter. If you are suffering from any of the troubles women have, you ought to try this med icine. It can be taken in safety by young or old, as it contains no harmful drugs.
