Women Speakers of Both
 Parties Turned on Maine

land. Miss Antoinette Funk, na-
 tionally known democrat woman
 worker spoke.
 Mrs. Emily Newell Blair spoke at
 another rally in Augusta this week
 on the tariff. She warned the Maine
 women that their whole day would
 be absolutely ruined when the pend
 ing tariff bill becomes a law. From
 the time they are walked up by an
 alarm clock on which the duty has
 been raised 50 per cent. until on re-
 tiring. they don nightie upon which
 the duty Is also raised "steen" per
 cent, there will be nothing but finan-
 cial worry for everything she touches in between the alarm clock
 and the nightie will have had duty
 raised upon it.
 Republicans Explain.
 Then, of course, the republican women come along and patiently ex- plain to the Maine women that the tariffs are on the important prices and not upon the selling prices here , in America, etc, and etc. And when
 both of them get through the Maine
 women will be so muddled they will probably decide to vote for the best looking man and let it go at that. Mrs. Maud Wood Park of the
 League of Women Voters Is going to Maine to defend the direct primary law. There is going to be refer endum vote on the question of re- turning from the direct primary sys- tenn to the convention system of nom- mating candidates for the parties. The women are defending the pri- l mary system. Two arguments are 1 used by the proponents of the con- vention system. They say that in Missouri the democrats were really defeated in their own primaries be-
 cause a lot of republicans voteo in Che wide open primaries for James A. Reed for senator, securing hls 1 nomination. They also point to the l large amounts of money spent in the Pinchot campaign for the guberna- torial nomination in Pennsylvania. Though the women admit that there are evils that should be remedied they are not willing to abandon the direct primary system of voting but
 realize that 1t needs some safe errarda

McReynolds, while his fate was being decided in the court room many floors above him. Despite the fact he had been a prisoner in the county for the past three days. he did not look any the worse, but lounged lazily about, seemingly en- tirely satisfied with his new quar- ters, and recognizing the fact that he had succeeded in making friends with the deputies and the sheriff.
 Somehow Wheeler" possesses a very good memory and kept his eyes on the office door, running to greet, as well as inspect, each person who happened into the sheriffs office, and satisfying himself that it was not his young master, he would trot quietly back to his resting place. Apparent ly eontented to wait, knowing, appa- rently from animal instinct, that his young master would surely come and release him from the bonds of the law which had encircled him.
 Patience is always rewarded, and finally the door opened and a young boy about 16 years of age entered Wheeler" was immediately on foot. and standing at the gate. He had heard the footsteps and recognized them. With a leap and a yelp he climbed upon the slight form of his young master whining and with his tall furiously beating his sides, ex- pressed his pleasure at his arrival.

Wheeler'S" case was the outcome of lack of identity, and was brought into court for Judge Thcsla R, Lea to decide. From the evidence pre- sented at the trial, J. V. McDaniel of Ischooda and Howard McBrayer of Wenonah had become involved with each other over tho ownership of the dog. It appeared that MT. McDaniel. who formerly lived in St. Clair coun- ty, had lost his dog, and Wheeler" answered his description exactly. Howard Brayer alleges that Wheel err had followed him to work one morning, and on his way home Mir Mcdaniel had found him. and. think ing it was his own dog, had taken him to his home On missing the dog upon his return from work that even ing, young Brayer started on search and found Wheeler" in the yard of MT. Mcdaniel. and, it Is stat ed, went Into his yard, got his dog and returned home. The trial at tracted much attention about the court house. there being 25 witnesses present to testify to "Wheeler's" identity.
 The case was brought into the court with the filing of a s100 bond, and verdict was rendered in favor of the defendant The court feels sure that the plaintiff and the de- fendant were each sincere in their convictions, and were still friends after the verdict was returned.
 It was happy youth who left the court house yesterday afternoon with his dog at his side, and there was a slight feeling of lonesomeness in the sheriffs office when Wheeler" took his departure.
