WASHINGTON Nov. 21.---SeIling

hotel patronized exclusively by wo-
men is highly profitable business.
That's why the exclusively feminine
Grace Dodge Hotel here owned and
operated by the 7. W. c. A. Is In.
volved in suit with Andrew G. Pol
lock, proprietor of the hotel news
stand.
1t all started when the national
board of Y. W. c. A, headed by Mrs.
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., placed ban
on the sale Of cigarettes and tobacco
at the hotel
Apparently the publicity given to
the sale of cigarettes and the facilities
provided for comfort of women smok.
ers at the hotel brought too much
criticism from the conservative wing
of the z. w. C. A." says Pollock.
Anyway, a few months after the
! hotel was opened the management
asked me to cease displaying smok-
ers' articles. There was at that time
no question as to my selling them
for that was provided for in my con-
tract"
Profit Great
his nope b. Il4d-.4--7 prOuLS from
the sale Of cigarettes was the control
ing factor in his bidding for the news
stand privilege. Pollock sets forth
in his suit. And. up to the time of
the ban, his profits were even greater
than he expected, he adds.
/ Meanwhile Mrs. Rockefeller has
announced that no more hotels for
women will be undertaken by the Ma
tional Board Of the Y. w. c. A This
one, she said recently, has given the
board trouble enough.
This cigarette business alone. It is
feared. may raise a greater stencil

out in months.
Before it is finally decided. the 7.

nitely one way or another on the
issue OF women smoking.

FELTON, FOR PROTECTION

The statement of Senator Felton, of Geor- gia, the first woman senator, and Democrat, must have given an awful jolt to her party Asked what she had to say with respect to protective tariff, she replied:
 "I am for a protective tariff. The United States is big family with lots of units. Diff ferent industries make up these units. It's to look out for these units who mak up our family Here in the South, for instance, our cotton industry has been under the domination of Liverpool too long.
 s'I believe in working wage for every American, and I don't believe that we should have to compete with the pauper wage scale of Europe. Uncle Joe Cannon and myself stand together on that.''
 One of the ablest and most common sense speeches on the protective tariff which has been made in good many years was that of another woman, Hon. Alice Robertson, Repre- sentative in Congress from Oklahoma. She also is staunch for protection. Campaign speakers say they find the women voters as a rule extremely opposed to low duties and for |eign competition The woman of today has more to say about the pay envelope than she [did when Calhoun, Hayne, and men of that |school of tariff thought they were leaders And they know when foreign goods are flooding the domestic market the old man $ pay envelope is |either gone entirely or pretty slim. Women |protectionists are the hardest obstacles in the |path of the Democratic politicians.

RURAL MAIL EXTENSION

A favorite point of attack by the Burleson administration of the Post Office Department was the rural mail service. Drastic curtai ment of the service was brought about, all on the plea of economy, with the result that many thousands of families were deprived of free mail delivery to which they had been accus- toned in the days of Republicanism. Under the. Republican regime the damage caused by that false policy is being repaired as rapidly as possible From March 4, 1921, to June 30 of this year 537 new rural routes have been es- tablished 4025 extended, and 265 have had their deliveries increased, giving better mail service to more than 150,00O families. The rural mail service has always been run at fi- nancial loss, but so is almost every other branch of the government. Republicans be- lieve that the people are entitled to it, just as they are given agricultural aid, good roads, and all the other Federal activities that are maintained by the taxpayers money

UNWIsE LEADERSHIP

Silence sometimes amounts to confession The brutal outrages at Herrin, Illinois, were committed in the name of union labor. No one for a moment believes that labor organi- zations advised any such action, and yet the silence of union leaders after the murders could scarcely be interpreted in any other way than as manifestation of sympathy with the murderers. No wonder the rank and file of labor unions show less respect for their official spokesmen The leaders are getting the unions Gin bad'

NO CHANGE FOR LIFE!

Back in Washington they are trying to de termine what is "living wage" Starting on the basis that 1The Wages of Sin Is Death, ," by the processes of elimination the Attorney General arrives at the conclusion that "LW ing Wage" today for workers means "the wreckage of every railroad in the United States and if extended to other industries would carry them into Communistic ruin. . Which sets us to wondering: ssWhat's the difference between a Living Wage and The Wages of Sin9' Looks to use like d1stmc- tion without difference.
 Now is the time for every man to come to the aid of his country. If the railroads and indus tries cannot pay wages without gong to the damnition bow-wows, 1t is up to the govern ment to cut out as much "drag' as they can mon railroad and industrial taxation-and we are industrial If the industries did not have to pay so much taxes, they might be able to pay wages.

 Then. let the Postoffice Department put a competent safe in the local postoffice, and save thereby about $15,000 year, which would enable the Department to allow us a sufficient working force in our postoffice to keep those few who are there from working themselves to death and to give them living wage

A LITTLE RIDDLE

What is it? If you have saved all you earn, you're a miser, if you spend all you earn, you're a fool. If you lose it, you're out. If you owe it, they're always after you. If you lend it, you're always after them. It's the cause of evil. It's the cause of happiness. If the government makes it, it's all right. If you make 1t, it's all wrong. As rule, it's hard to get. But it's pretty soft when you get it. It talks! To some 1t says, i've come to stay" To others it whispers, Goodbye"
