Jolly Reforn,er


Il declare" said Mrs. Weatherford,
''the way man look at these reforms
is simply awful! If man is dis
honest they think it is a joke. If a
man gets drunk that is also a joke.
Everything is q joke. The possibility
of foreigners taking possession of our
country. whether they be japanese,
Hindus or zulus, is also a joke. WoIn-
an suffrage is a joke. So is prohi-
bition. / don't understand men.
'.NoH when l was getting ready for
the prohibition parade Mr.. Weather
ford said he thought it great pity
we didn't have a car in this country,
and he added that al the Gear Of Rus
STA had to do was to say Nix on the
vodka and that settled the question
of intoxication in his countr..- for good
and all, while we have parades and
speeches and elections and volumes
of logic and argument and other
Troublesome stuff that is a great waste
of time.
HE said he thought it was shame
that $4,000 PEOPLE would have to
tramp to the polls and mark long
ballot, and that other people have to
sit up fcr several nights counting bal
lots, and that the war news would be
crowded out Of the paper by it. when
it was so easy and practical to have
czar who could just say Rouse nit

"'That man never viii look at things
seriously. He hurries home from
church to read a book about two ras-
Gals that go around swindling every
body. and he laughs and chuckles and
has a grand time over it. but the fact
that the nation is going to the dogs, as
pointed out by the minister, doesn't
worry him at all
my father wasn't like that. He
used to thunder at greed and hypo-
erisy and sham. My husband finds il
amusing. If a policeman fails to ar
rive in time to prevent a fight my
husband is well pleased. He gets his
joke out Of it. The more ham and
eggs cost the better the joke with
him"
Il should think he would laugh hinl-
self to death at that rate" observed
Mrs. Carnochan. Il rather admire
him for it. He has to pay for the
eggs, anyway. and he might as well
have his fun out of it.
You shouldn't worry. The fact that
your husband laughs at these things
doesn't prove that he approves OF
them. He always lines UP against the
very institutions that laughs at.
That is the way with the men in this
country half the time. They laugh al
prohibition and then go and vote for
it, just the same"

''How's that little boy of yours get
ting along at SCHOOL," asked the gro
Ger as his best customer entered the
store
"Oh. he's all right now" said the
customer, rubbing his hands before
the stove. "The trouble was in get
ting him started. / didn't take him to
school the opening day, but my wife
did, and this is what happened.
In the morning Freddie was given
a nice clean suit of clothes, bright
new shoes. a shiny penny, and brill
liant red tie. Then his mother took
him by the hand and escorted him to
the school building. They entered
the building. and went into the room
where they registered. At this stage
Freddy revclted. He loved to look at
the school from the outside, but inside
was no place for him. The first
thing my wife knew Freddie had eIud-
ed her; then she saw his little legs
speeding down the hallway, bound for
the door and liberty.
My wife started after him, but as
she was out of training he reached
goal. When she came to the door
f'redd.e was standing on the opposite
side of the street, gazing fearfully to-
ward the entrance. When she came
into view he retreated behind a tree.
However, tits wasn't big enough to
hide him, and he hurried around the
corner and hid himself behind bill
board
But his mother was a relentless
,pursuer, and she drove him from one
hiding place to another. OF course, all
these strategic moves were accom-
panied by vocal exertions by both in
terested parties. Freddie was fearful.

Washington.-Ca Coolidge has
been elected to succeed himself as
President of the United States in a
landslide which swept the East, the
Middle West, large part Of the Far
West, and which has increased his
party's vote in both the House and
Senate.
His electoraI vote may reach $50.
Latest returns indicated that he
would carry Nebraska, Nevada and
might even carry Missouri.
John w. Davis, Democratic nominee,
seems to have an electoral vote OF
not less than 1876 which may be in.
creased somewhat when the final re.
turns are in from New Mexico and
Arizona where he is running neck and
neck with the President
LaFollette carried only his own
State, Wisconsin, although he ran sec
ond in Iowa, California and number
of smaller States. His popular vote
in several Eastern States, notably
Maryland and New York, contributed
largely to the Coolidge pluralities
there
The Democrats appear to have los.
Senate seats in Massachusetts,, in
Oklahoma and probably in Kentucky.
Also they seem to have lost no les
than six seats in the House. The
LaFollette bloc has suffered two not,
able Senate losses, apparently in
Brookhart, of Iowa, and Magnus John
son, in Minnesota.
The Ku Klux Khan, which figured
largely in the campaign as an issue.
apparently !. has scored against its
more violent opponents in number
Of States. Not only did John W.
Davis, who denounced it by name re
peatcdly, go down to defeat, as did
Senator LaFollette, who also de-
nounced it, but Senatorial and Guber
material candidates opposed to it were
severely punished.
Fair weather, with few exceptions
prevailed throughout the nation as the
huge vote, nearly 30,O00,00O, poured
into ballot boxes and machines fol
President, members of national and
State Legislatures, Governors and
thousands Of other state, county and
local officers. Rain during the night
held down the early vote in some sec
tions of the Pacific Coast.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to prevent disorders in many
sections, but, despite the presence Of
$500 policemen and thousands of pri

New York.-Returns indicate the
Republican candidates for the Senate
have benefited materially by the
| strength shown by the Coolidge
Dawes ticket in most of the States
and that the Republicans will be able
to organize the next Senate.
Returns would indicate the lineup
would be Republicans, SO; Demo-
Gratis, A.; Farmer Labor, 2.
The election of William B. Pine,
Republican candidate in Oklahoma,
seems assured Dispatches indicate
he has safe lead over former Gov
ernor j. G. Walton, the Democratic
ment Of the Ku Klux Khan, while
Walton was bitter in his denuncia-
ton of the Khan, charging that or
ganization was largely responsible
for his removal as Governor.
This is gain of one seat for the
Republicans, as Pine will occupy the
chair held by Senator Robert L.
Owen, Democrat. Owen threw his
influence back of Pine.
Senator William E. Borah, Repub-
lican, of Idaho, was elected to sue
coed himself. Even before the bal
lots were counted, Frank Martin,
Democratic candidate, conceded his
own defeat.
The election of Walter e. Edge,
Republican, in New Jersey, is indi-
Gated by early returns while it ap-
pears that Senator A. Owsley STAN
ley, Democratic, of Kentucky, will
win by safe majority over Fred
Sackett,' Republican candidate, who
had the active support of the Anti
Saloon League, because of Stanley's
activities in behalf Of the "wets"
during his service in the Senate.
In New Hampshire scattered re-
turns give Reyes, Republican, 6,574,
and Ferrand, Democrat, 1850.
The indications were that the Re-
publicans will make big gain in
the House of Representatives seats.
II these Indications are borne out,
the Republicans probably will be
able to organize the House without
the aid Of the Progressive bloc.

Memphis-Returns gave John w.
Davis, Democratic Presidential candi-

In the Senatorial contest Gen. L. D
Tyson, Democrat, had a total Of 37,1S5
votes and H. B. Lindsay, Republican
25,240.
Gov Austin Peay, Democratic can
didate for reelection, had 42,SO6 votes
and his Republican opponent, T. F.
Peck. 2S,207.
Harvey Hanna, Democratic incum
bent, was leading w. T. FISHERMAN,
his Republican opponent in the con-
test for Railway Commissioner, by a
ratio of approximately two to one.
Hanna had 29,920 and FISHERMAN A.

Indianapolis.-On the face Of the re-
Turns from scattered precincts
throughout the State of Indiana, but
from enough sources to tell the trend,
President Coolidge has carried the
State by plurality which will range
from 100000 to 100000.
LaFollette Is running exceptionally
weak, and probably will not get S per
cent of the total vote, which will run
close to 1,550,000.
