Wumsn suf rrass snthusiimm has spread so fast Holland that the present Cabinet Is pledge! to constitutional cnanges, giving uutc women the same degree of enfranchise men; that Dutchmen possess. South African women used their munlci pal franchise for the first time this year and political bsclflng Is enough in evidence to make complete enfranchisement there a near certainty.

She gave some political maxims, some of which follow: "A so-called 'straight ticket' is seldom straight until it is scratched": "Measures, not men; both however, at their best"; "He who sells his vote sells his country: but he who buys it violates patriotism on the un clean altar of his ambition"; "Place principle before party"; ;"Don't vote for a dodger : "Awaken the Indiffer ent."

The s'ueta will Royal Preference for THE PIANOLA THE Aeolian Company manufactures and supplies the player-pianos used by all the leading Rulers of Europe. Recognition of its supremacy in the player field is attested by the seven Royal Appomtments which it holds. The significance of a . Royal Appointment is not always-understood .'here, in America. A King naturally makes many purchases. The Royal Appoint- . ment is conferred upon but one manufacturer in "any given line however, and -then only when his product is so disu'ricdy meritorious as to distinguish him , from all his competitors. ;'' ' '-, - - ' The career of the Pianola the player-piano made i by The Aeolian Company in Europe, has been remarkable. Every branch of the 'English . Royal Family owns one of these instruments. While in Germany, Russia, France, Italy, Austria and other countries, its popularity is equally as great. A List of the Aeolian Company's patrons in Europe includes : H. M. George V, King of England H. I. M.William II, German Emperor H. I. M. Nicholas II, Tsar of Russia H. L M. Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria-Hungary H. M Albert, King of Belgium H. M. AlphonseXIII, King of Spain H. M. Ferdinand, Tsar of Bulgaria Of course the patronage of Royalty, has not made the Pianola great. Its unanimous choice by the world's leading Rulers however, as well as the preference of the foremost musical authorities, is conclusive evidence of its unequivocal superiority to all other instruments of its kind. We are the Exclusive Representatives of the Pianola Ours is the only store in' this city where you can hear or buy the genuine Pianola. Practically every music-store now sells player-pianos, but these are, one and all, imitations of the Pianola with the weaknesses that the word always implies. 4. iSJIr- "isTIII 0' ' Sherman, TICTROLAS AMD IUSCORDS 8TEINWAT, WEBSB Sixth and Morrison Streets, Opposite Postoffice come in Immigrant costume.
