VOTED AGAINST SEWERS
Women Cast Ballots Opposing Pro

0reSs AT SahboTh' MIMI.
ISanborn, May 31.-The result OF
the election held in Sanborn to de-
eide whether or not a sewer should
be built in Sanborn this summer,
was a vote of forty citizens in favor,
and los against. Consequently
there will be no sewers built in
Sanborn this year. 1t is reported
that many women voters turned out
at the polls, the majority of whom
were against the proposal. The
Sanborn Sentinel states that the
village is already heavily bonded
the tax rate being the highest IN the
county with one or two exceptions,
and the majority OF the voters seem
to be in favor of pulling Sanborn
out of the hole before any further
Indebtedness is incurred. '

4 Hall of Fame for Women
(From the New York Herald,

The Chilean delegate TO the recent
Pan-American Conference OF Women
has asked the League OF Women
Voters TO give the names OF twelve
of the greatest living American
women. II is a formidable task. OF
course there is an overwhelming
abundance OF material TO choose
from. In feet, this very super
abundance As a difficulty the men,
bers OF the league will encounter at
the outset. II is a sheer case of
embarrassment OF riches. The league
is asking everybody TO help frame its
list.
The answer 10 the Chilean dele
gates question involves little less
than the creation of an American
feminine hall OF fame. This is an
undertaking of greater delicacy than
may be fairly put upon any one
committee, however Judlciously that
committee may be selected. The
only way out would seem to be the
one the league is taking. Asking
everybody TO help virtually means
a nominating referendum.
There are to be no political, sec
tional or other arbitrary restrictions
in the consideration of suggested !
eligibles. The only limitations are
those indicated by the Chilean dele
gate who made the request. For the
benefit of her countrywomen, she |

I The delegation estimated $4,000.

confirmed by the detailed investiga-
lions Of the PREPARATION Commission.
Allowing for the spread OF the pay
ments over a long period, this sum
is something more than that agreed
to by Germany a year ago.
But the ink was hardly dry be-
fore Germany whined that the bur-
den was beyond her power to carry.
Then IL became generally known
that German taxes are but $40 per
capita, while those OF France are
$40 and those OF Great Britain SEQ.
So new camoufiage was painted.
The new excuse was that her dis
organization prevented Germany

REAL ISSUES AND
POLITICAL SHANIS

(From the New York Herald)
Give the people genuine political
issues that bulk big and there will
be no lack of deep interest in the
politics Of the country-in the bust
ness of the Government.
Artifician issues, politically manu-
featured issues that are just sheer
sham, get nowhere with the Amer
lean people. The American people
are sick and tired of political pre-
tense, political humbug. The ghosts
of departed issues that still stalk
across the national stage are insult
ferable to the American people when
there is real work, big work, to do.
The tariff is a real issue, a great
issue. In the present financial and
industrial condition of the world It
is a greater issue than Il ever was
before. But instead of treating II as
an economical Issue. which It is. the
politician statesmen handle It like
a torchlight parade.
Taxes are a real issue, now an
deep seated issue. The is
sue of taxes comes home to every
citizen every day, with every meal
he eats, every stitch he wears, every
cent he spends and every cent he
earns. But instead OF regarding
this as a problem to be courageous
ly grappled with and honestly solved
with sound treatment to ease enor-
mously and permanently the burdens
Of the staggering national taxpayer.
he politician statesmen run away
rom the actual solution OF the tax
and hide behind a smoke
lcreen of demagogio hot air.
So the hard hearted but long suf- |
ering people of the United States |
ebel against the sham and humbug |
# the politician statesmen. too cow
.rdly to face or incompetent TO deal |
With the genuine issues and the /
problems still before the
