So She ConfeSSes

CHE lives with her married sister
~ in Tulsa and at almost any hour
of the day or night a man drives
up with the other lady Kilties in
a big bus and says, Come on, Pru-
dence. We're going out to stampede
a convention"
In the beginning, she used to ask
where the convention was sitting
and what it was all about. Indeed,
in her early days, she wouldn't take
a convention unless she liked it.
But now the life has got her. She
asks no questions. Racked by sobs,
Prue confessed to me that once she
Stampeded a convention of the
Anti-Saloon League.
The harsh life has calloused her
to such extent that she can't tell
the difference between the Elks and
the Single-taxers. 1t is her con-
tentlon that when you've seen one
wild demonstration you've seen 'em
all"
But isn't there any difference, "
l wanted to know, between Repub-
licans and Democrats?"
Yes, she admitted, "if the fellers
pinch you as you go by, then they're
Democrats. But it did happen to
me once with the Farmer-Labor
party"
You poor child" I cried as I
threw both arms around her. "T
Will protect you. I'm a Socialist"
By the time this is printed, the
Democrats may have nominated a
candidate for the presidency. But
Prue and I won't care. Not even
a Franklin Delano Roosevelt can
spoil our happiness.

IN the United States and Canada,
Il appendicitis is responsible for
some $4,000 deaths each year.
1t has been estimated that the
death rate from this disease almost
equals the combined death rates
from obstruction of the bowels,
ulcer of the stomach and intestines,
and gallstones.
Moreover, even though medical
science has developed suitable tech
mic for diagnosis and surgical
treatment of this condition, the
death rate continues to rise.
Studies by investigators in many
different clinics indicate definite
reasons for the increase of deaths,
some of which are particularly i'm
portant, because a popular under
standing of these reasons certainly
would result in lowering the rate.
Practically all investigators are

Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-It seems that our
SmarteSt men and statesmen are at
a loss to know why and why is the
cause of the depression that has
gripped the world for several years.
Some say it is prohibition, some
say the tariff. Everybody has a
remedy and it seems that none of
their remedies works.
I do not intend to give a. remedy,
because I do not know Of any, but
I do know that prohibition, as it
is called, has had a great deal to
do. with the cause, and I do know
that this billion dollar tariff has
done more to cause the depression
than any other thing.
The Republican party has
preached high tariff, high wages,
and high products ever since I can
remember such a party, and every
body knows that it is not working
now, with the price of stock and
grain and wages as low, If not
lower, than under Cleveland and
free trade.
We must have an outlet for our
products to keep our factories, run
ming. If we can't sell, We can't keep
on producing, thereby throwing men
out of employment. We have been
boycotted by every nation we usual
ly trade with and it is plain to be
seen that if we can't sell, we don't
get any tariff revenue.
Competition is the life Of trade,
and we have killed both and lost
the confidence Of the nations of the
world.
AS for prohibition, in the last
twelve years we have spent millions
of the peoples hard-earned tax
money. and we are no nearer to
prohibition than We were at the
beginning. We have lost in taxes
S1.10 on every gallon sold during
these twelve years. We have spent
millions to keep up our prisons and
feed our prisoners.
We find stream of our money
going to Canada and other coun-
tries for whiskey, wine, beer, that
never returns. Also, when we ind
that rs per cent of this hooze trade
is handled by foreigners, we
shouldn't wonder at the condition
Of our government.
When I read our Junior Senator
Robinson's talks on prohibition, I
sometimes wonder if he shouldn't
be better posted on this subject be-
fore the November election. The
booze seller, the racketeer, the run,
runner is voting the same way he
does, to keep in business. The
sooner the eighteenth amendment
is done away with, the quicker he
will have to quit business, and the
better off we will be.

Please pardon the confusion. Prob
ably we never should have taken
that last ballot. But can explain
everything. I was sitting up with
a sick convention. Yesterday,
think it was, or maybe tomorrow
morning. I wonder what they put
in that last ballot.
And never before have I had
greater need for clear head. l
want to tell you all how love came
to me at the Democratic national
convention. We have taken q little
cottage on the banks of the two
thirds rule, where every prospect
pleases and only man is vile.

Prudence GinsbWgh, the from
bone player in the Oklahoma lady
Kilties band. 1t might be just as
well to begin at the beginning,
although that takes us all the way
back to the nominating speech for
William H. Murray.
He just had been named and the
demonstration in his favor was on.
I wouldn't predict about one, but
I'll bet you could have heard two
pins drop. And then into the hall
blared Prudence and the Oklahoma
Lady Kilties band.
At first it was the idlest Of i'm
pulses. Just youth and o'clock in
the morning and fellow who had
gone through the experience of
having three TASKS shot from
under him. In other words, I de-
cided to join the William H. Muir
ray parade and to enlist for the
duration of the demonstration.

Majority Wants RepeaI

ENOUGH has occurred during the
~ last few weeks to indicate not
only q profound change in SEN
timent toward national prohibition,
but what the majority of people
want done to satisfy it.
. The Democratic party has come
out for repeal and, pending repeal,
for legalizing beverages of such low
alcoholic content as honestly con-
form to the Constitution.
1t is a good bet that the Repub-
lican party would have taken about
the same stand had the delegates to
its recent convention not been hand
picked and muzzled by the Hoover

A political expert from Washing

But political experts invariably are
wrong. After all, I merely inquired
if she would like to be bound by the

At first the talk was casual and
in Snatches. It seemed best not to
try to carry on a conversation while
Prue was playing her trombone. We
had to exchange our condolences
during those intervals in the music
where no passages as yet have been
written for the trombone.
Since we were both marching in
an Alfalfa Bill demonstration, it
appeared to be only tactful to
breach some of the economic issues
in which the great Governor is in

fused her little and so I added,
How about bimetallism?"
Now when man asks fair
question like that and the girl re-
plies, You're telling me, big boy"
I think he has a right to assume
that Re will not get far with the
young lady by discussing financial
structure.
We turned to things of smaller
moment. But it developed that

SYNOPSIS: When Sondra Kent finds herself successful in asking John Anderson to give Mark Merriman a posi- ton in the Congo, she is sud- denly most unhappy, for she loves Mark and is dismayed at the prospect of his being so far away. She will not marry him without wealth, however, because her father always had impressed upon her the con- viction that a mOneyless mar rige for love is certain to be unsatisfactory. Her sister, FlO- ra, with whom she is living, has remarked that Anderson would make an excellent hus- band for Sondra,, but he is married and separated from his wife. S0ndra knows that Anderson loves her, although he has never told her so, and has maintained the attitude of a guardian and adviser. She evades telling Anderson of her feeling for Mark, and he seems to realize this. Are you an- gry with me,?" Sondra asks him.

Twilight of the Gypsies.
(New York Herald Tribune)

If George Borrow alive today he would ibe saddened by the latest news from the gypses' campfire-a campfire which is less likely to be la radiator pounding in Brooklyn tenement For American gypsies have gone twentieth century with la bang. Their newly elected king is college graduated development which the author of those marvellous romantic yarns "Layengro" and "Romany Rye would simple refuse to believe. This king, armed with his diploma proposes to shoo his sub jects onto the bandwagon of progress and modern lity. Gypsy costume, the earrings and necklaces Iof golden coins and innumerable gay pettcoats will
 be put away, and gypses will flare forth in rayon
 stockings and store clothes to be distinguished from
 the rest of 1892 only by the lingering flicker of
 irresponsible gayety in their wild dark eyes and the
 untamabe toss of their wild black hair. Change
 in this ancient tribe is to be than superficial
 for the king announces that gypsies will adopt not
 only present-day costumes but present-day customs
 and ways of earning living They will surrender their right to be the wide worlds tinkers tin smiths and horse dealers and will lose themselves in drab army of dishwashers, elevator men, taxi drivers and soda fountain clerks. We hope that
 willingness of his proud and deathless people which so far has scorned and held at arms length the
 sedentary of the world, from Bagdad to Omaha, to sit down in place and behave like everybody else. If gypSies as gypsies disappear
 something will have gone, some connection with mans first joy at roaming free through fence
 less Eden will have vanished and nothing can quite
 replace it.

A Fiscal Year Is Over.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 Early estimates for the fiscal year ended June 30 indicate that deficit incurred by the Fed eral Government reaching about $3000 100000 Prev ious estimates had set figure of $2000000000 but these proved much too optimistic, owing to several large items not anticipated until late last winter This is much the largest deficit of any peacetime year. and it goes with the largest total budget aside from war time.
 It follows deficit of $900000000 in 1881, making total deficit for the two fiscal years of nearly four billions of dollars-cose to the total annual budget at present levels. It is wonder that business sentiment has been disturbed, and that politically minded Congress has had to undertake drastic measures to bring and costs into some sort Iof equilibrium.
 The prospects for 1883 are better, of course IOf economy there has been virtually none. But enormous tax increases will cut down the deficit next year to the point of plausbility at least. Tax receipts based assumed moderate im- Iprovement of business, and extraordinary ex- Ipenditures allowed for. This may mean the near balance of the 1883 budget will still be fiction
 It is an unacceptable conclusion that have not yet found the solution-that deflation has yet to be applied to the operation of the Fed leral Government on the proper scale. The inn peratve need of the nation is not merely balanced budget but genuine economy in the administra- tion of the colossal bureaucratic machine at Wash ington which weighs down on the sagging shoulders of business and agriculture.

HOLDING PARENTS RESPONSIBLE.

Child delinquency is a problem that is receiving serious study throughout the country Juvenile courts that came into being many years ago. were hailed the solution. Time and experience have demonstrated that this not true. They have accomplished material good, but some of the results have not been really beneficial Under the system tendency has developed the part of many parents to shift their responsibility for juvenile mis- conduct onto the courts.
 This probably what led the grand jurors of Kings County, New York, recently to assert that laws governing juvenile delinquency need drastic revision. The jurors declared:
 We recommend law to enforce compulsory
 morality in the home, to the effect that
 parents and guardians may be held respons-
 ible for the delinquent acts of children under
 their care, not only in the chidren's court
 but in the magistrates court well, where
 they may be prosecuted and fined.
 After all the doctrine of holding parents re- sponsble for juvenile misconduct is not a new one It is a commonsense one, and if carried out req sonably would cause parents to view mischevous msbehavior of their offspring more seriously than is ordinarily true under present conditions

WHEN IT DID RAIN.

Those of us who have labored under the im- precision that locally there has been more rain than ought to be visited upon any people have something to learn about real wet weather writer in the New York Herald Tribune discussing the St Swithin Day legend that the weather is on that day will it continue for 40 days. If it rains July Is, says tradition, it will rain for 40 days next following.
 Of course science does not bear out this legend July said the writer referred to- has an average of l2 rainy days each year but they are interspersed through the month without regard for the fif- teenth Continuing, he wrote:
 There record number of wet days
 in July 1895, when it rained for thirty
 four days.
 That must have been an interesting month not only for meteorologsts and agriculturiSts but also for the calendar-makers who must have been both cred considerably to find in the remainder of the year the slack needed to take up the three -day overrun in July It is rain record that Alaska cannot hope to equal
