VOTES COUNT NOW
For many years we men have been
told what would happen if women
were ever given equal suffrage with
men.
Now they have it.
In future the vote of the hum-
blest female citizen will count just
as much as that of the president of
the United States.
Acts, not words, will write the
story of the future.
It is a matter of speculation as to
just what effect the feminine vote
will have in national and state pol­
itics, but the presumption is that it
will have a tendency to purify the
ballot and retire a certain stamp of
politicians who have been seeking to
debauch the ballot for years.
Morally women is unquestionably
the superior of man, and if she dem­
onstrates the fact that she is broad
minded enough to rise above peanut
politics and vote for men of stability
and character, regardless of political
considerations, we may reasonably
expect her advent to be one of su­
preme importance to the future wel­
fare of our country. In such an
event political leaders will hesitate
long before attempting to foist up­
on the voters of their party a man
who does not truly represent the in­
telligence and the integrity of that
party.
Until women adjust themselves to
their new station in life some no
doubt will vote merely as their hus­
bands do, while others will do their
own thinking and vote as they please
It is to the latter class that me
must look for any material change
from our present political methods
and system.
The November election will tell
much of the story, but few political
forecasters are willing to make even
the smallest kind of a prediction at
this time.
The politicane themselves are all
floundering in a sea of uncertainty.
JAB ’EM, UNCLE, JAB ’EM!
Ie 1 »reported from Washington
that Uncle Sam has annexed a sharp
stick and is beginning to jab the
profiteers, with the result that a
decline in the price of living is an­
nounced.
Just where the decline is we don’t
know, but we hope it is somewhere.
One thing, though, is certain,
Uncle's stick will have to be mighty
sharp and mighty long before it will
make even a dent in the alligator
hides of the gougers.
Gouging is a pleasant and lucra­
tive pastime—to the gougers—and
they can hardly be expected to re-
form their ways until they feel the
point of the stick or the weight of
the star spangled foot.
But Washington says there is a de­
cline, and because Washington says
so It must be so.
But personally we decline to fall
for a decline that declines to decline. ;

Stenographer Extraordinary.
Two members of the bar were trying
a replevin suit in the superior court
recently and in the course of the trial
got into a sharp wrangle—as lawyers
sometimes do—over the admission of a
certain piece of evidence. The wrangle
resolved itself Into an oral battle in
which both lawyers tried to talk at
once.
They spoke in loud tones and at a
rapid-fire gait. When the smoke had
cleared away and the case was over
they were quite surprised to learn that
the court stenographer had been able
to get down In his book every word
they had said, despite the fact they
were both talking at the same time.
The clerk of courts commented on the
feat.
"Oh,” remarked one of the lawyers,
“that little chap could take down a
hailstorm and never miss a stone!”—

NEW PATTERNS OF
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
| A good citizen stopped us on the
street a few days ago. He had a
, .
case of nerves. He was peeved be-
cause "nothing ever happens In this
town." He will recover,
But his remark started a train of
thoughts In the editorial mind, and
we are passing them on to you, as
is the custom of our profession.
It is true that "nothing ever hap­
pens in this town,” and that Is one
of its beauties, its greatest asset.
We have no murders, no riots, no
race disturbances, no class conflicts,
no rowdyism, no disgusting scandals
—none of the numerous things that
happen so often In many other places.
We have a class of citizens who
are law abiding, God fearing, patri­
otic, and who respect the rights of
other people.
Our citizens are energetic, thrifty,
and are producers—not destroyers.
They are workers in the hive of in­
dustry—not drones.
Truth abounds, because It is a
community of clean and upright
people who have nothing to hide
from the rest of the world.
It should be a matter of pride to
every citizen that "nothing ever hap­
pens in this town."
HE unusual regard in which .
the average family holds
its home is, of course, the re­
flection of unusual qualities in
the home itself.
One owner might tell you
* his home is comfortable. An­
other that it is beautiful. A
third that it is convenient.
But if they all Were to sum
up the reasons why they value
their home so highly they would
probably say that the home
gives a feeling of pride, self-
confidence and safety,
