Money In Politics

1t is not just now that women have begun to
realize that political activities, even of the most
virtuous and legitimate kind-in which kind alone
of course, women engage or ever will-may involve
the spending of money in considerable amounts.
1t is not news to them, either, that without money
political demands and in making "movementsr
successful.
But of late these unhappy truths seemingly have
been brought TO feminine minds with more than
usual clearness, and, as not quite all of them vet
have achieved that financial and economic indie
%pendence of which they SO often talk. it is natural
that their Efforts to raise money are brought to tho
not always pleased attention Of men.
One husband has recently complained as II 1t
were n grievance, that his wife had spent S100,000
in furthering political ambitions. her own and
those of others, and probably he is not alone in
thinking that whatever a wife expends in that
way is too much. Probably, however, most of the
money devoted by women to politics is their own.
either by inheritance or as the result of their own
endeavors.
The rich ones among them have been generous In
giving for the cause they had at heart, and the
amount Of personal work many of them are willing
to do for nothing except the satisfaction of doing 1t
has made politics appreciably less expensive for
them than men have found it to he.
Let women get the proper perspective in the game
they are comparatively beginners in, and they
will make a better use of money in politics as time
goes on. When they begin to apply that we'll
known bargain hunting instinct to the profession,
there is little fear that they will get the full worth
lof expenditures.
1t is only now and then that man as n user OF
money gets anything like adequate return for his
political dollar. Whatever woman may be now
in this line. she will do better later and her worst
'has been matched by man more often than not

Conserve our Presidents

The American people have been overworking
their presidents. Customs and demands that have
grown up OF late years must be abolished and with
drawn If we would have our presidents live out
the days allotted them.
Those unfamiliar with the duties that daily come
10 the president that involve actual physical worl,
would be surprised could they look In upon him
on a fairly busy day. Add to the physical effort
the tremendous responsibility daily borne and the
constant strain and you would wonder how any
man could stand up under the load. Then when
YOU supplement this with exacting social duties
the president cannot escape, no toiler In the land
does more.
While it is a fine thing that the people in dis
tant parts of the republic may see their president,
hear him speak and grasp his hand, the practice
must cease. Long, w%earying speaking tours must
become a thing of the past. Mr.. Wilson broke
under just such a strain and Mr.. Harding would
he alive and well today had he not undertaken the
Alaska trip. Even Mr.. Roosevelt, the possessor
of the most rugged constitution of any of the presi.
dents, shortened his life through the same official
e~xactions.
A man who is the choice OF a hundred and twenty
millions Of people as their chief executive is too
valuable a possession TO take the risks involved in
such travel and hardships as Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Harding underwent in their official life.
The people of distant parts of the country viii
have TO be content with printed matter concerning
their president and with photography as n substi.
tute for personal contact in the future. The
speaking tour goes out henceforth.

Old Vox Populi

Uneasiness is apparent throughout the country
over the prospect of a radical third party in the
next presidential election. Similar dangers have
arisen before. Some of them have gone so far az
the selection Of candidates representative of the
socalled "cause." 1t occurred in the seventies and
the nineties during the monetary discussions of
those days. And even back of those years similar
movements were not unknown.
That we are subject to such attacks is due large
" to our political illiteracy and the resulting sat.
lsfaction with partial vote government. Radical.
ism and every other political folly could be pushed
forever into the background II we would wake up
and compel total vote government. For IL is an
axiom that there is no more conservative force
in a country than the voice of the whole people.
Is not this particularly true OF English speaking
peoples?

The 100000 conservatives could easily be
brought into action by advanced electoral methods.
First registration by canvass, second compulsory
voting-by mail If no other means can be devised.
The theory Of compulsory voting is far more pop
ular than is generally supposed, but its practical
application to the inconvenient and oftentimes
unsavory polling place adds nothing to the. popu-
larity of its adoption. In the form of voting by
mail in the home the compulsion would resolve
itself into a somewhat attractive pleasure.
There is no sense in either Of the old line polit-
icai parties following precedent forever, one or
the other of them must come alive to present sit
nations, and IL they would preserve their party
life must so change the election laws of the land
as to more nearly record the will of the people.
We already have voting by mail to a limited
extent. We could with little trouble extend the
privilege and with no danger to the purity of the
ballot either.

If this is a good proposition for the "other fell low" why not accept 1t as being made direct to you as well? You have the same opportunity as any one else of winning one of the prizes offered. Each individual has a cer- tain number of friends and acquaint- ances from whom to secure subscrip- tions, and If your town or vicinity is not now represented, then be sure to get in this campaign. If you can use one of the big IA automobiles which we are offering and have enough ini- tiative to realize that the good things of life must be gone after, then your opportunity of winning is second to none.

 Posiceman's Gun.

Philadelphia. March 24.-A bull ran wild yesterday in the streets and. dashing into a house, attacked a woman and her two daughters. After being pursued for almost two miles, the beast dropped dead with i6 pistol bullets in its head and body,
 Mrs, Nellie Jeffries was trampled under the hoofs on the animal and his blunted horns bruised her shoul- der, but she. was not seriously in- jured. After overturning furniture and smashing crockery, the bull headed Into the back yard where Mrs. Jeffries' six children were at play.
 Too terrified to move two little girls were knocked down and trampled, but they received only minor bruises. The four other children scampcred to safety.
 The animal escaped from the stock yards at Thirty-hrst and Market streets. A policeman who tried to halt him was bowled over. After running from Mrs. Jeffries' home the bull turned into coal yard where 1t tossed a negro into a pile of coal. He was not hurt. A policeman killed the bull after firing the contents of three revolvcrs into him.

MOTHER REFUSES TO

Pears Shame of Being Revealed
 as Connected With Robber

Cincinnati. O.. March H.-on a slab at the county morgue the body Of man. a bandit. has lain e. claimed moro than a month. Tn a humble home somewhere in cincin- natl there is a mother who passes the days and nights weeping, for he who lies at the morgue is her son,
 But she cannot claim him, because she knows what the neighbors would say" how the world would point the finger Of scorn at her and whisper, ''She is the mother of a bandit"
 When the man was shot and killed on the night of Feb. 10. the police were told his name was Harry Car roll, alias Mcdonald, of Boston. He was shot when attempting to hold up Max Kappner, shoe merchant, in his store at 1919 Main street.
 The slain bandits pal. Jack o'Brien was captured and put in the county jail. He is the victim of disease which doctors say may give him only a short time longer to live.
 So OBrien recently aecided it was only fair to the memory of his dead pal that he divulge his real name. He did more, giving the name of Car rolls" mother, her address ip this city and the name of the man who last employed Carroll" st
 The woman O'Brien named admit ted her son had been missing more than two months, and she consented to visit the morgue and view Car rolls" body. She looked at 1t and shuddered.

 Thus did mother deny her own son for fear of what the world would say. Unless the mother changes her mind, the body soon will be buried in Potter's field.
