The little story Of a woman in Kansas City may
help here. CT.
She and her brother quarreled. About money. she
believed that he had deliberately taken her heritage
leaving her to poverty. Probably he had.
He lived in his comfort In a small town IN tne
west. She lived in her barrenness. And each year
ON the anniversary Of the quarrel she had printed IN
big type in the local paper
@The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they
grind exceedingly small
The story got around. Other people knew what IL
meant They smiled at the brother in his comfort 1t

and brother hated and did not speak.
Then indeed had the gods ground exceedingly

was financial failure Disgrace. Shame. Prison bars
But in his hour of need he had sister by his
side The hatred Of years had been washed away by
the freshet of pity and reborn love.

Today Washington is buzzing as the capital has
not buzzed before in ages.
All day yesterday, according to the correspond.
ents politicians there were running around in cir.
cles counting the costs and forecasting the conse-
quences of the debacle suffered the preceding day
in Pennsylvania by the staunchest stand-bys of the
Coolidge Administration and the banner bearers Of
the bone drys.
In the Senate things began to happen early
Senator Davis A. Reed junior member from the
keystone State, attributed the defeat of Senator
Pepper his senior, to "the wave of resentment
against prohibition Then he went on record
favoring taking the question out Of politics and sub
hitting it to popular referendum.
1t was a significant admission and more still
significant indication. For less than twenty-four
hours later Governor AL Smith Of New York had
startled his hearers at referendum measure hearing
at Albany by demanding that the politicians allow
the people chance to say what they wanted.
Such the beginning. But it only the be-
ginning. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi read
some articles written in Pittsburgh by Leo r. Sack
staff correspondent of ScrippsHoward newspapers
describing how vast sums of money being spent
in the Pennsylvania primaries. Commenting upon
them, he asked what to do. Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, had the answer. He demanded an investiga
ton othe high cost Of getting elected to office, say

MOUNTAINEERING: MANS WAY
VS.. WOMAN'S
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Nothing SO illustrates the difference between the
sexes as their methods Of raising money.
Men go about this business in a sensible and easy
fashion They begin by organizing and appointing
committees, estimate approximately what everybody
can give, put down assessments, buy publicity
make speeches. allude to their workers as 100 per
cent boosters, hire stenographers, make
amount of noise and get the cash.
Women, on the contrary, matter how worthy
may be their cause generally approach the issue with
an apologize spirit They arrange kind of a SALE
and would consider themselves rashly extravagan
they advertised their purpose in the papers.
They put in long hours at hard labor, do endless
miles of needlework walk their feet off soliciting mex
pensve gifts and when everything is they are
ready to drop dead with fatigue, are delighted 10
have netted $635.
Women especially housewives, never count their
time as being worth anything at all and whereas
every husband feels perfectly free to make many
cash donations as he pleases. no wife thinks she
should do likewise Her part charity must never
be inscribed in dollars and CENTS she contributes
physical labor.
she Will spend a morning shopping for material to
construct garment put in three afternoons doing
hand work, and then feel a hestancy in asking any
more for 1t than the amount she expended. Or she
VIII cook all day over hot stove preparing food for
some kind of supper and then take her family down
and buy back the meals she has already prepared Mt
home and ask less money for them than they woNld
cost anywhere else on earth.
In raising money waste more time neglect
their homes and husbands and children more consist
entity, wear more nerves, lose more tempers and
put in more hard work than at anything they do
unless 1t be the pursuit of marcels They will spend
five dollars worth of time and effort in actual cash in
order to get three seventyve by selling something
they have made.

THEIR CHANCE
IIoople.

The editors of newspapers which proclaim them.
selves Democratic and boast of their label have their
chance to demonstrate their power when they meet
tomorrow at Martinsville
If they have any influence whatever and the ex-
tent of influence of purely partisan newspaper is
always doubtful and often negligible they might turn
the sentiment of the delegates to their State con-
vention to some who can and should defeat
Senator Watson in November
OF course, If they follow approved lines of wait
ing for their party convention and it's politicians to
make choice and then shouting for him, no matter
who he may be- they will have no influence either be-
dore or after the event.
1t may be possible that the party they represent
has no outstanding character, man capable of
capturing the popular imagination, no man to whom
the people would instnctively turn with trust to es
cape the curse of wisconsin
Possibly these editors may believe that the party
they serve is bankrupt in such men-or they may
know of dozen who could qualify.
But a united demand for man who can
carry the real meaning of wisconsin to the people
of this State this fall who has courage enough 10
lay bare the record, ability enough to make 1t clear
and integrity and principle to show the contrast
might prevent the usual political bunders for which
the Democratic donkey is famous.
Certainly there are enough reasons why Indiana
should change her Senator'S
Perhaps these editors rif~they tried to lead the
donkey instead of riding him, can find candidate
who will give the hundreds of thousands of Repub
licans who are disguised with Watson and the other
hundreds Of thousands Of independents who do NOT
like his principles policies, decent excuse for
voting in November

WHAT PAROLES REPRESENT

There have been frequent criticisms of the parole
system, just as there criticisms Of anything new
But most of them are based on a few cases which
for some reason other have been singled out for
much notoriety.
The parole system is an attempt to inject a little
humanity into the handling of prisoners. 1t is op.
posed by those who oppose on principle, anything
that family resembles leniency in the execution of
legal punishments-"coddling" they call it.
But the oldfashoned method, instead of fright
enng the prisoners into leading better lives usually
sent them out to be permanent foes of society
Intelligent boards of parole and probation are
natural ougrowths of civilization that is trying to
improve itself. They are not to be condemned be-
cause they are incompatible with tooth for tooth
and eye for an eye" principles.

Man wants a girl with winning

girl who always toys in style, per-

that twinkle bright and never shed

His type of maid is one who let's
the sadder things drift by; who
laughs at them instead Of frets-and
never bats an eye. She looks the
world square in the face, and stands
above the crowd. The girl man
wants will fill that place and kinda
