WOMAN PRESIDENT? NOT YET
WORLD GETTING SMALLER.
THREE AGES OF BARBARISM.
ISTONE, BRONZE, IRON.

STONE, BRONZE, IRON.
This is the political stage of "rosy
reports" They pour in on LaFollette,
Davis and Coolidge.
Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa,
and Kansas are already his.
Davis is told that with the South
and New York, Massachusetts,, Hi
nois, etc. he is ELECTED NOW.
La Follette's followers say they
have twenty-five states sure The
'rosy'' days are pleasant, only some
one is sure to be disappointed.
The, Government has ordered a
group of flying machines that can
travel through the air, on the water
and on land. Only one step remains,
the amphibian and submersible flying
machine pulling in its wings and be-
coming a submarine. That will come

John R. Voohis, Oldest office-holder
aged ninety-five, predicts a woman
President. She will come, but not in
fifty years. Many women in the Uni
ted States would make Presidents bet
ter than any, with two exceptions,
since Thomas. Jefferson. But man,
proud man, dressed in a little brief
authority, will take a long time to get
over his superiority complex.
Men of low intelligence sincerely be-
1ieve that they are in some mysterious
way woman's superior, and such men
decide Presidential elections.
If woman becomes president be-
fore $780,, it will be thru promotion
of a Vice-President. That might hap
pen within a generation.

The scientific world notes the dis
covery in Francesof new anaesthet-.
ic called "sommifaire." With no bad
after effects this anaesthetic makes
possible the longest operations. 1t is
injected into the blood, causes the
patient to remain half conscious tor
thirty hours, which is excellent tor
major operations.
It is hard to believe as you read OF
scientific methods for avoiding pain
that when anaesthetics were first used
they were savage1y denounced as
works of the devil Earnest preachers
declared that God WANTED us to
suffer and it was a sin to thwart His
divine will
Joseph Greenberg, of New York,
will return to his home with new
knowledge of this country and greater
respect for the size of the state of
Texas. He left Brooklyn in little
automobile to bring his son back
from Somewhere in Texas" and told
his wife he would be gone about 5
days" He will be surprised to find
it will take him about as long to cross
Texas as to cross all the rest of the
American continent. When you've en-
tered Texas on one side and come out
on the other, you have covered almost
half the distance from ocean to ocean.
When historians write of the three
great periods of barbarous develop
ment, the stone age, bronze age, and
iron age, they will say:
"The full industrial development OF
the iron age reached at about the
year 1000 of the period humorously
called the Christian Era, may per-
haps be called the beginning of civil
1ization
"Men had developed faint ideas OF
right and wrong But while they had
begun to leave their great fortunes
to education and science instead OF
seeking to bride their diety and buy
eternal bliss for their own worthless
souls, they retained the worst features
of earlier barbarism The discoveries OF
science in chemistry and physics were
used for war murder on a gigantic
scale.
"The dregs of the race committed
murder with their own hands. The
so-called upper classes lived in shame
full luxury, utterly indifferent to pow
erty, disease and ignorance around
them. They even herded young chill.

mills, grinding them into profits Tor

Con the whole, that eliminating
period of the iron age was inferior
in dignity and decency to the stone
age"
