son, the first great unwashed
Democratic President who abb
horred all social frills and fur

Woodrow Wilson furthered 1.-THE
tradition that has grown up
concerning the dissociability Of
the Democrats as opposed to the
sociability of the Republicans.
What greater contrast could
have been presented than the

splendid ideas for costumes for
a Lincoln party.
You will notice that the birth
days Of women are to be given
the same consideration as those
of men. Miss Beveridge believes
that the heroines of America
have been neglected, and that
women will be glad to do honor
to the women she has selected.
The birthday of Anna Ella
Carol has been selected as the
date for a party for Republican
women. She was a military gen.
Jus, but was not recognized as
such until years after her mar
velous accomplishment along the
line that has always been sup
posed to belong exclusively to
men.
, She planned the decisive
Tennessee cmapaign in the
civil war and President Lincoln
would not allow the fact that
a woman had planned It to
leak out until long after the
victory for fear that if ID was
known that a woman had
planned it the idea would have
been pooh poohed. Her deed
was recognized by Congress

ranks. Women will sit up half
the night sewing on q costume
for q party at the Republican
Woman's Club Of their town,
whereas they wouldn't cross the
street to hear q dusty lecture on
the principles Of Republication.
And anyway, the Republi-
cans have a convivial reputation
to maintain. Somehow a tradi-
ton has grown up concerning
Republicans, and that is that
they are more socially inclined
than the Democrats. Washing
ton tradespeople have always
been perked up when the return
Of Republicans to power in the
Capital has seemed imminent.
The Republicans, IL was held by
them were always more brilliant
entertainers than the Democrats,
resulting in brisk business in
Washington. Perhaps, this con-
dition may have been due not to
any lack Of q good fellowship on
the part Of the Democrats, but
to the fact that having been in
power much less than the Re
publicans they were chemically
in q somewhat needy state.

the anniversary of an event Of
Importance in Republican his

ans Club may choose one of
these dates for their party, or if
they are an especially jolly bunch
they may choose all three.
II Is quite likely that a shrill
soprano howl of protest will be
set up when the Democratic wom-
en- find out, for instance, that the
birthday of Susan B Anthony is
being celebrated by the Repub-
lican women because she started
the movement that eliminated in
the enfranchisement of women
by a Republican Congress The
Democrats will claSs Der because
the cnfranchisemcnt occurred
during q Democratic Admins
tration, and was advocated by
the Democratic President.
Such yammering on the part
Of disgruntled Democratic ladies
will only add to the merrymak-
ing Of the Republicans.

POLITICS AND MURDER

more ominous than any ever before ass0-

Doubtless ii is without any foundation in
