WILD WOMEN
They Spell Liberty With the Lei. :,
o. License
tFrom Charlty and Children.J


tFrom Charity and Children.)
Even the most imDerturbable spe-
eies Of mankind, the veteran news
paper man Of the daily press, is show
ing signs of emotion over the out
break of crimes of violence in which
women figure as the principals. Not
long ago the Associated Press was
moved to call attention to the fact
that there were in progress on that
day six sen sational murder cases in
which the defendant was a woman;
and the very next day a Montana
judges wife proceeded TO shoot
Montana preacher full of holes and
then end her own life.
What has got into the women these
days? We all know that crimes come
Ia cycles, or, as the newspapers usu-
ally call them ''waves;" but this par
ticular cycle is something so out of
the ordinary that it stands alcne.
We do not believe that the oldest IL
habitants can recall time wlea
there were six women being tried at
the same time, each Tor spectacular
murder.
No doubt many people will attempt
to link up these crimes with the new
freedom that has been granted the
sisters since the suffrage amendment
to the constitution went into effect.
Indeed, il may be that the sudden re-
lease from certain legal restrictions
has obscurely affected some women
with little sense to begin with so that
they have made the mistake of the
Russian peasants, who confused lib
erty with license. Because the law
no longer fobids them to approach
the ballot box, they may have come
to the conclusion that the law no
longer forbids anything.
But if tha. is the case, the disease
probably carries its own cure. If wo-
men have gained the right to vote,
they have also gained the right to
serve on juries, and when twelve lev
el-headed women get hold of one of
these Jezebels we believe that the
world viii see different sort of end
ing to a murder trial from the sloppy
sentmentality that sickened the coun-
try at the Clara Haman trial in Ok
lahoma. True, the man that Clara
filled full of lead was about as wor-
thy of being shot as any human being
imaginable; but Clara herself w,s
no primrose by the rivers brim, ard
a jury of women would never have
lost sight of that fact for a moment.
For moment the wilder sisters are
jazzing things up at startling rate.
But there is no need for anybody -
lose his head just yet. Wait UNI
the soberer sisters begin to take a
hand in the game. They can tame the
female gun-tighters, They will tame
them.

OPPOSED TO CHANGING ROAD
LAW BY LEGISLATURE

I'VE, the undersigned county com
hllssiOhcrs, desire it to be known
through the press that we are neith-
er parties to nor in sympathy with
the petition that is being circulated
asking that the senator and repres-
entative Of this county pass law
abolishing the road commission and
putting road business into the hands
of the county commissioners.
On the contrary il is our belief
that road matters and other county
affairs should be kept separate and
distinct, as the people have hereto
fore indicated by their votes. Since
the present county commissioners all
reside in Monroe township, it would
be manifestly unfair to the other
townships for Monroe township to
AXE complete charge of all admins
trative AFFAIRS of the county. Under
the present system each road elec-
torate knows the condition of roads
IN his particular township and re-
ports same to the road commission,
thus keeping them thoroughly in
touch with roads throughout the
county, whereas the present county
commissioners, all residing in Mon
roe township, could hardly be expect
ed to know all road conditions in out
lying townships. Further, we do not
believe that any economy to the coun-
ty would result from the proposed
change, as the present road commits
sion is as capable of managing road
affairs of the county as the county
commissioners and have indicated
Their intention of curtailing expenses
now that most of the bond money
has been expended. We also wish to
deny the report that the county COM
missioners and road commissioners
have been out of harmony or that
there has been any conflict Of author
ity. The relations between the two
bodies have been altogether cordial
and pleasant and they have worked
in harmony and cooperation hereto
fore and hope and expect to do so
in the future.
