A metropolitan newspaper is credit
ed with new word that may be
effectively placed in the dictionary Of
terms used to express a phase of the
Illicit rum traffic. The word Is used
in a headline as follows: "Rumplane-
logger Gets 30 Days in Oklahoma
Jail" The story tells of the conVic-
ton of an aviator on a charge Of
transporting liqaor by airplane.
Recently a publication asked Tor a
word that would express the combined
thought of "bum," Jag" and soak y
in language adapted to the prohibition
attitude to drunkenness. So far a
word has not been coined.
Louise Lawson, New York actress,
who was recently murdered after a
desperate struggle in her apartments
with an unknown man, was buried IN
a small Texas city, the entire popu-
lace who were her friends turning out
to tender her the homage due a
popular star.
Probably in life many of those who
attended her funeral would have con-
demned her for choosing the stage as
means Of livelihood. But in death
all vocational lines are erased and all
errors, if any there be, are forgiven
If men can forgive, Is 1t not prob
able that God, who is infinitely wiser
than men. will overlook the small
frailities that divide humanity here
Recently 100000 tons of mountain
side were torn off in a blast that
shook the entire country around Lake

More than six months were consumed
bv workmen in preparing for the
blast. -Four thousand feet Of tunnels
were carefully drilled and filled with
30f 900 pounds of powder prepara-
tory to firing the blast. The rock
will be used as ballast on the Lucin

PROGRESS
BY BcrtOn Braley

BY BertOn Braley
They fell a tree
Which nature took two thousands
years to grow;
They lay it low
In half day or so.
And cut it up in boards and timbers
that
Will build a flat
And ugly row of houses
For workmen and their spouses- q
And call it Progress!
They take a green
And lovely country, quiet and serene,
And build a smokey city
Ugly and gray and gritty
And call it Progress!
They take a hill -.
Whose rugged cliffs gave every eye
a thrill,
And mine it for cement
Till all its sides are rent
And gashed and gaunt and gray
And callfit Progress!
1t seems to me
That Progress need not be
A thing that must employ
Mans skill and science mainly to
y destroy
The beauty that is natures.
Why should mans
Trail of advancement be so strcwn
with cans
And broken glass?
When shall we come to learn,
When shall we have the patience to
discern
That beauty pays ?-Ah, when we do,
Beauty shall glimmer everywhere we
view
And that is Progress.

VOTE AND YOU SHALL BE
SHAVED Is LAW


Well, in Santo Domingo, a new law
for the presidential election is that
when man casts his ballot he shall
be shaved. An official razor will
nick off spot of hair to show he has
voted. This keeps voters from re-
peatlng. So, you see, some candidate
may win or lose by close shave.
SOCIETY
While down town today looking for
new rumors to start, Mrs. Gossip ran
into several of her old rumors which
had grown so she failed to recognize
them, so now she can use them all
over again.
Ia GARDEN HINTS
When the. plants begin to sprout
show them their parents pictures in
the seed catalog. This arouses their
ambition.
BEAUTY SECRETS
Plump women can take off a few
pounds by volunteering in some COM
munity drive for funds.
BOOK NOTES

US read the spelling book few can
quote from it correctly
WEDDINGS
Many last June couples have the
almost paid for now.
BROTHER TOMS KITCHEN
When peeling onions think up
something to cry about so your tears
will not be wasted.
BEDTIME STORY
Don't laugh when your wife puts
her hair up in papers. 1t may scare
a burglar before morning.
POLITICS
The present Congressional Record
reads like detective story.

A COURT DECISION WITH
A KICK

1t may be that the Supreme
Judicial court Of Massa chusetts
has started something" in de-
cision just handed down by it.
Under Massac husetts law the
apportionment Of state senator's
and Representatives must be based
on TIE number OF legal voters. "
The House was in doubt about the
neanin" Of the term and it appeal

istered vote In other words, it
IS the Ci,tum f the court that leg
is.ative representation is determ-
ined by the number Of citizens who
, take the trouble to have them
selves registered as qualified vot-
erS.
In the decision may be the germ
of new idea useful in other
states in getting people to register
and vote. Massachusetts won
name a long time ago for it's de-
votion to the principle no taxa
ton without representation" Now
Il
oourt declaration of the principle

tratiOn."
And why shouldn't it be so?'
Able-bOdied men and women who
fail to register and to vote fore
close on their own right to a voice
in government, and they do it
OF their own motion. They are en-
titled TO little consideration, if any,
in determining how they shall be
represented in the halls of legisla-
ton. They are even less entitled
to representation than those who
do not vote for the reason that the
franchise has not been conferred
on them.
Time and again we are faced by
facts Indicating that the fine
phrase about the people ruling is
largely buncombe. Most of the
ruling, in the first analysis, is
done by a comparatively small part
of the people, frequently by mi
nority, that minority being made
up Of those who have the citizen
ship decency Of registering and
voting.
Missouri voters had before them
a few weeks ago twenty-one dis
tinct proposals for as many amend
ments to the Constitution, alias
the basic law Of the state There
had been years of preparation for
this popular referendum. En-
thusiastic leadership was on the
job. Elaborate organization had
been in action to bring out the
voters. Many of the proposals
We're important enough to merit
the vote of every man and woman
in the state, positive or negative.
st. Loulsans were presumed to be
particularly interested, but the
voters of that city fell down mis-
erably. On a home rule amend |
ment the city vote was 37,2G7 ayes
and 1854 nays, a total of 4S,941
votes in a city which had a popula-
ton of $4,000 in 1920. Out over
the state the result was not much |
more creditable. {
Sooner or later. If the voters do
not mend their ways. some form OF
compulsion will be brought to bear
on them to make them understand
that voting is both a duty and a
privilege. In some measure the |
vote slackers of Massachusetts, /.
have disenfranchised themselves
ny their failure to register. They
deserve al that the court decision
IN question will bring upon them.

Postmaster "A. b: WEIGH returned
Saturday evening from Chicago where
he spoke to an audience of about 400
members of the Chicago Historical
Society. He was invited early in the
year to speak on the Indian lore of
the Northwest and added many fea-

society already possessed. The Chi
cago society is one of the strongest
branches of the Smithsonian institute
and the Field Museum. A more de-
