The ADVENTURES O.
Raggedy

By HNNY UELLE

A pretty little brook wound about
through the yellow meadow grass and
reflected the blue, blue sky above it
where it wound around and across tho
meadow toward the deep, deep woods
filed with Fairies n everything, the 1T
Ito brook ran faster until It tumbled
and danced with tinkIing music over the
messy stones
The little brook was as quiet as It
flowed through the yellow meadow as
Annie Augleworm IS when she IS sound
asleep and hardly ripple ran across its
looking glass surface except when some
cricket. or grasshopper slid Off a bend
Ing reed and plinked into the water.
IT'S Gods looking glass; thought Rag
gedcdy Ann, her little candy heart press
ing with happiness against the front Of
her soft cetton stuffed body. Every
thing IS SO lovcly!'
Indeed It is - smiled Raggedy Andy
as he threw one loppy rag arm around
Raggedy AIMS neck.
The two rag dolls sat down upon the
clean meadow grass and watched the re

Mud Tossing Methods Are
Scored by Woman Writer
Frances Gordon Den ny Declares Warning
Against Abuse Is T0rdy

There ara among those who hint that she
Is not above DOMINIC male attire upon
occasional the corner drug store, per-
haps, or on a hotel balcony-but that is
no excuse for the old lady's activities.
Whether she be male or female, a certain
class Of politicians count on making her
an instrument of propaganda. 1t is
worth while to try to defeat their pur-
pose.
Woman's vote would have more weight
In politics If there were a little mystery
about 1t. Reserve always has at least
a semblance Of power. In the last presi-
dental campaign, you remember, there
was great uneasiness among the bosses
as to what effect the women's vote would
have. They had been told that women
were going to think for themselves; that
they would not stand for this and that
especially that they would not support
candidates whose private lives were not
above reproach. So they undertook to
set the woman conscience on edge
sCANDALOUs STORIES
GAIN CIEC1I ALTON.
They spread broadcast the most afro
cious stories, nos only about the presi-
Dental candidates. but about the Presl-
dent whose tern Ct Office was then draw
ing 10 q close. When the ballots were
counted and 1t was shown that the women
had, upon the whole, divided of pretty
evenly on party lines, very much after
the fashion Of their fathers and husbands,
a great sigh Of relief must surely have
gone up from political headquarters
This experience, however. does not de-
ter politicians from applying the same
unworthy tactics 10 their own party pri-
maries. While the newspapers are con-
cerned with the legitimate features Of
the contest, the principals upon which
their respective candidates stand, their
personal ability, their political records,
which are all very necessary for the In
formation Of voters-an irresponsible lot
of mischief makers busy themselves with
gossip which they hope will make a spe-
cial appeal 70 women and which they
think they may depend upon then to
spread.
It is an abominable situation. II wom-
en- would refuse to lend themselves to the
spreadin Of such gossip It would not
be without effect. II they wish 10 help
clean up politics they could not DO DETER
than begin on this phase of It, The
present primary campaign IS nearing us
close but the primary as an institution
or as an expcriment-is stin in ~ IN

By FRANCES GORDON DENNY.

The warning issued by the chairman of
the Republican State committee against
the personal abuse of the candidates by
the opposing factions in his party comes
rather late In the primary campaign. If
it had been launched when the mud first
began to fly it would have been more
effective. Tho fact that the chairman
finds 1t necessary to include ladies' as
well as gentlemen" in his appeal for
moderation emphasizes a phase of wom-
ems participation in politics that is worth
considering.
Any one who discusses the question
of women's part In public affairs is
pretty sure to be confronted sooner or
later with the remark: women have
said If they were given the ballot they
would clean up politics; why don't they
DO it," Now, there is no doubt that
women would like to do something to
help clean up politics. the trouble Is in
knowing where to begin. There are so
many things that need cleaning up 1t is
a little confusing; but 1t seems strange
that the conduct of the primary cam
paign has not suggested itself as a field
for endeavor. 1t would have been a fine
thing. for instance, If women could have
united in misunderstanding the personal
abuse that has been In evidence in the
primaries since their Inauguration and
that has been such disgusting feature
OF the present contest.
THINKS MUD-sLINGING
POOR METHOD.
There ought to be a better way to ex-
press a preference for candidate than
by assailing the character of his rival.
Whoever is successful in the primary be-
comes the party candidate and is ex-
pected to have the support Of those who
Iwere against him as well as Of those who
Were for him. To see a whole body Of
people, or any number OF them, for that
matter, swallow their words, turn square
IL around and advocate the candidacy Of
a person they have spent months in Will
flying Is not an elevating spectacle. II
does not make for character. either pub
lie or private. II Is demorallzing. We
hear much about constructive criticism.
II would be a good thing to apply in
politics, especially in the primary cam
paign. II a candidate has merits, It
ought TO be enough TO emphasize those
merits without seeking TO destroy the
character of hts opponent.
Women long have been credited with
weakness for spreading scandal. Mrs.
Grundy was always Of the feminine gem
