EXTEND TIME FOR
REGISTRATION
OF VOTERS

County Clerk NJ s. Cook received in
| structions from the state attorney gen
eral today the effect of which will be
to give one more day for registration
for the city election. Section 1904 of
the political code which officials have
| accepted as governing the procedure
with reference to this matter appears
to be in conflict with the state con
stitution.
The question was submitted to the
| attorney general for ruling with the
, result that he instfucts that the con.
st tuition is To govern. This will make
it lawful to register for the city elec-
ton up TO and including March IL.
Mr.. Cook announces that his office
viii be open all day Saturday for reg
istratiOn of voters and in addition to
this deputies viii be assigned TO make
Il canvas of the city and every effort
made to get rs full a regist ration as
possible.

I notice OF lato that most OF the big
men arc against the bonus and there
must be good economic reasons for
them thinking that way and / believe
their way OF thinking must he right
or they could not be big men.
They tell us II n cash bonus IN pait
to all the soldiers II win mean an aw
ful lot OF new taxes, and when tn,
big fellow pays more taxes II mean
that we fellows get less money In oui
envelopes; and ! wonder how all o
these men who are nalting for tn,
bonus. and who still have Jobs. woult
feel II the boss should say TO them
All right, Mr.. Man. maybe you cal
have the bonus. but l am going t.

ROSY REPUBLICAN HOPES.

dined and conferred at the White
House. Evidently. Mr.. Harding has
chef OF genius, for his creations put
the guests at peace with the world
and sent them home happy and
chock-full OF hope. The important
business OF Congress is TO be irons
acted with edifying dispatch. Fhe
Naval Limitation Treaty is to be
passed almost at once so that the
House can make the necessary reduc-
tions in the Naval Appropriation bill
Apparently, the Senate can hardly
walt for the conference report and the
! treaties.
The Tariff bill. which the Senate
| finance committee has been at wori
on since last Fall. is to be reported al
soon as the everlasting bedevilmen
about contentious schedules and tn
American valuation plan permits; and
once reported. is to have precedence
for ten days or so. The House Way
and Means Committee is TO find In
magical means OF paying for tn
bonus without tapping innumerabl
pocketbooks. Little details like tn
shipping dill and the bill TO reclassif,
Government employees are to be at
tended TO by the Senate while MI
Fordney's shamans Of finance ar
raising the wind for the bonus. A
the conference treaties are to Gid
swiftly through the Senate. BY mid
summer members of Congress Will b

again.
II is a lovely, II slightly romantic
, program, but can 1t be carried out

are cited In a special dispatch from
Washington to the Post-Dispatch. The
rate on 100 pounds OF freight from
Portland Me. TO New Orleans. n dis
tance OF 1856 miles. is $2.05h, while
from Indianapolis to New Orleans.
which Is s62 miles, or about half the
distance from Portland. the rate In

a rate of si.44, whilo tho Omaha New

is s2.79is.
Those instances. II Ia explained. are
not exceptional. They are typical
And this discrimination will continue
until our rivers are put to work carry

The necessity for river transporta-
tion Is not debatable. 1t Is obvious
But the facts cited by the Newton

when he was alive, pulled down
some kind OF wage. I know not
how he wrought. cannot name
his trade; perhaps 70 town he
brought some henfruit newly

he peddleds bricks that had a

we thrive: great words and
trenchant, these! So in this
human hive let's hum around

THE NEW SILVER DOLLAR.
By Edgar A. Guest

The new silver dollar is lovely 10 see.
But any old dollar looks lovely to me.
Now fresh from the mint
To 8 welcome in print
Come a cartwheel OF silver 10 brighten
the place,
Aglow with the smile on a pretty girls
face,
But the bank clerk announces with
looks that are black:
THAT thing may be art. but the dol
lar won't stack"
I wish I'd million all strewn on the
floor.
They might clutter the place and i
wouldn't get sore.
They might tumble and fall
Any old way at all.
Roll under the bureau or under the
bed,
I'd still be adniring that young lady's
head;
Those glorious dollars I'd never at
tack,
Or curse or despise them because they
won't stack.
| Some call her "fapper"-the young
lady who
| Has loand her fair face TO the dollar
SO new.
| I've seen long bearded men
| On five" or a ten"
Aud though no one would say they
/ were hansome 10 see.
/ The greenbacks that wore them still
looked good TO me;
So it's little ] care for the fault-find-
ing pack.
Good dollars are dollars although they
won't stack.
The bank clerks may grumble, the ar
critics sneer,
But the new silver dollar I'll cherish
and cheer.
To my life journeys end
All its charms I'll defend.
III sing Of its praises wherever
roam, 4
And should it be friendless, I'll Civ,
II a home;
Oh, never In hatred will I turn m,
back
On the new silver dollar because &
won't stack.
