The True Effect of Campaign
 OratOry

Father, mother, and daughter whose face advertised her voting age were sauntering home from the polls.
 Mother: Well. I certainly think that hat the judge wore was fright. For two cents I wouldn't have voted, but just couldn't go out without voting for dear MT. Davis. He has such kind face"
 Daughter: Why, mother. l voted for Mir. LaFollette. He has such lovely hair l should think you would have voted for him"
 Father was showing signs Of apo plexy. Isn't that just like women." he burst out. "A fine set of reasons! What good is il for women to vote when they use no more sense than that? Didn't you follow the cam paign? Didn't you reason things out from a sensible standpoint? What stuff and nonsense to vote for a president because he has a kind face or long hair"
 "Who did you vote for, father ." inquired the daughter, duly hum blcd.
 Me? Why, voted for Coolidge. That's a foolish question when you know my grandfather was Re- publican and my father was q Re- publican, Do you think I'd vote anything btu the Republican tick et?"
 The women needed new fur coats, so they said nothing.

TONG WAR CAUSED
 BY ROY ON MONEY
Split Came on Division Of Fi-
 nancing COmpany'S Profits

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Chinese tong wars will so on, according to Chin Jack Lam, mysterious figure in the recent tong warfare in a num- ber of cities, in an interview pub lishcd in the Chicago Daily News to- day. He was quoted as saying that he once was president of the On Leong tong and that these organiza- tions were similar to building and loan associations. aiding Chinese in getting started in business and re- ceiying in return share of the profits.
 The On Leong tong, he was quot cd as saying, piled Up a surplus of sl60,oO0 which the tong urged he used to pay income taxes on the business of the members. Twelve officials objected, desiring to divide the money.
 They formed the Wee Gong fac ton of the On Leongs and divided the money" he said. My friends and I immediately organized the Wu Fat faction The Wee Gongs wanted us all killed"
 He declared gunmen were hired and $15.000 offered any one who would kill him, and that guns were purchased in Springfield, Minneapolis and Hartford. and that additional gunmen were hired in New York, Boston and Liverpool. A regular scale of rewards for killings ranging from s3.on0 for a laundry worker up 10 s15.ooO for an official Of the Wu Fats or Hip Sings was offered, he declared.

BETTING ON ELECTION

TAc better class Of newspapers ls1e long ago refused to publish betting odds on 1prse racing; only q ,ary fcw rcmain, who by this maeas froah.y mak" an effort to enlist c!jnn,eIe composed of the sporting fraternity.
 But day by day metropolitan news papers have been publishing betting ol.s. and gj>ing the names and ad- lr.asos of hrms-usua.Iy located i'll or near Wall s'reet-which have thousands of dollars on 'ap 10 wager upon the election.
 There may he some difference be- tween betting on horses and betting on the election result but not enough to change tine principle of hazard nor enough 10 make 1t bad ahics to publish betting odds on horses and good ethics to publish those on an election.

costs about 7S cents gallon, which IS considerably more than gasoline costs, Only the cheapnoss of gasoline keeps il favorits motor fuel today it is stated: and if through scarcity it's price were to ad- vance within the price purview Of substitutes the latter would begin be- ing utilized,
 The large increase Of filling sta tons throughout the state would lead 10 the assumption that the oil com9an!os never expect the oil sup ply 10 give out, There may be more oIl supplies in the world than we at prcscn, know oi but it is logical to suppos" 'hatthey cannot last as long ds o'hr natural resources in view of the 5uormous demands made up- on ,le supply Like the buffalo and tlo m"stodons, the petroleum sup ply some time may be extinct, and the 's,imate at present is that the worlds supply as we now know it will not continue 10 serve mankind for more than a quarter of cen try. By that time 1t is estimated, radical conservation measures may ba invoked, and automobiles may have 10 depend upon substitutes, Tar automobiles will stay, however: w"lj ind way to operate them!
 This leads to a contemplation Of certain discoveries in sweden which 'ntratcu to have vital bearing up- on the future operation Of combus- ton motors. IL is declared in a dis patch from stockholm that the use oi charcoal gas instead Of oil as fuel for automobile motors has been sue .c5sfully put into effect by the Sean liavabis Works in Malmoc. It ap- pears that the gas is derived from ordinary charcoal and is produced at only a fraction Of the cost of gsso- hue or alcohol.
 That inventive progress in Sweden is going on swiftly is further inlicat- c1 uy the development of coal gas as proruIsivo agent on the Sala- G,fIo railroad, instead Of steam. Passenger cars are being converted .o the usc Of the new method Of op.ration, it is announced, and q rapid step forward in chcapcnod cost or operation is being attained,
 Heretofore we thought that rhom- as Edison had quite a monopoly up- on all such in>eu,ions but perhaps Elison IS taking it easy in his old days and permitting others to add to tho sum lotal ot human achieve- mcnt
 The point abo3; the Swedish method IS that the charcoal gas for motor.car propulsion appears 10 be cheaper than gasoline, and that coal gas for trains is cheaper than steam. W aen it is realized that Sweden is blessed with enormous wa,erpower possibilities, the development of transportation methods along these lines, rather than basing them upon electric power, is doubly sig n.ticant.

 Men who asked others to vote on a basis of racial or religious creeds have overlooked what American democracy stands for, he declared "It a man asked me to vote for him because he vas of American or British blood, or any other particu- lar nationality, l would vote against him" he declared.

Claim Made Education Week Is
 Tor Military Purposes

New York, Nov. 4.-Coincident with publication Of communications with Commissioner of Education John J. Tigert fin which it charged among other things that the promo ton of national education week. Nov. IT to 23, had been turned over to military organization" (thc American Legion) the American Civil Liberties union announced las, night that the national board of the Young Women's Christian associa- tion had declined to participate" in the movement.
 The announcement was made by Roger N. Baldwin. director Of the union, who said the information was conveyed to him in a letter from Mabel Crafty, general secretary Of the Y. W. c. A. He said that Miss Crafty wrote him the decision was made "because of certain clements in the announced program inconsist- ent with the position of the organi- zation's national board in regard to world peace and international CO., operation"
 Mr. Baldwin declared that the "certain elements" included various suggested topics for speakers on the education weeks program denounc- ing the red flag, pacihsts and com- munists and the announcement that organizations desiring speakers should apply to the American Le- zion.
 It was also revealed that the union had charged Mir, rigert in connection with tte program with "unwarranted violation of trust in the conduct Of public office and it's private prostitution to the priv ate propaganda interests of mili tary organization"
