RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1930.

G. O. P. PROUD OF RECORD

TWENTY-NINE REPUBLICAN STATES ON HONOR ROLL FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE. If the women of this country are to be given the ballot at the general election to be held on November 2, they will have the Republican party to thank for the privilege. Twenty-nine Republican states have ratified the nineteenth amendment to the national constitution, giving to women the right of suffrage, while but one Republican state has refused to ratify. How different the record of the Democratic states, most of which are located in the southern part of the country. Seven Democratic states have rejected the nineteenth amendment and but six Democratic states have ratified it. If Tennessee or North Carolina will ratify the proposed amendment and furnish the needed thirty-sixth state, the honor roll will stand twenty-nine Republican, and seven Democratic states. And that is not all, it took a Republican senate to get the proper resolution passed by that body and after the senate which had been Democratic had refused to pass the resolution, the senate in July, 1919, having a Republican majority in the upper branch of the national law making body, the resolution was passed with thirtysiv Republicans and only twenty Democrats voting for it. The senate at that time had but two more Republican than Democratic members. The Republican party has a right to be proud of its record on this important issue and will undoubtedly be rewarded by the women of the country if permitted to vote in November.

TESS MARSHAL GIFTED WRITER

BUILDER OF OREGON TALES CORNERED IN MEDFORD LAIR. The Rev. J. T. Abbett, former resident and one time Recorder of Jasper county sent the following letter and interesting sketch of a former Rensselaer boy. The article appeared in the Oregonian in Portland, Oregon, on July 4, 1920. Edison Marshall pounds out 5,000 golden words daily with two fingers and ruins typewriters every month. The letter and the article follow: 1406 Winona Ave. Portland, Oge., July 5, 1920 Editor Republican, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: — . You will be interested in the inclosed clipping from yesterday’s Oregonian, as it is a write-up of the gifted son of George E. Marshall, one-time editor of the Republican. I am working this year as Director of the Religious Survey of the City of Portland under the authority of the Interchurch World Movement. It is an interesting task, and when completed will be of inestimable value to the pastors of the 212 churches of the city, and the workers associated with them. With kindly greetings to old friends, I am Sincerely yours, J. T. ABBETT,

(By Mrs. Fred N. Cummings.) Medford, Ore., July 3.— (Special) —One April day in the year 1920 a man walked into a bookstore in Sydney, Australia. “Hm,” he said, “‘Voice of the Pack,’ by Edison Marshall, Medford, Oregon. Looks good to me.” So he took the book home and lost himself in the fir f orest of Oregon.. A few days later a London or New York lawyer (I forget Which) found the same book at his favorite stand. He, too, took it home and crowded streets were forgotten as he roamed the mountains with Dan Failing to know clumsy Bruin and Whisperfoot the cougar. When I started to write up this author it seemed easy enough to get plenty of stories from his friends. But the next time I hunt big game in his own town I will stalk him the way Whisperfoot does and pounce from some thicket of conversation and pretended friendliness. For Marshall is big game. He is strong, versatile, writing as easily as you or I speak. His magazine stories prove this. One of his railroad characters in a story from the American Magazine neighbors with the heroes of the best 100 stories for 1917. “The Missing Seventeen,” from the Post, had the same honor in 1916. In 1918 Marshall was at war and didn’t feel like writing. And “The Elephant Remembers,” from Everybody’s, has been classed and reprinted by the critics as one of the best 15 stones of 1920. His publishers believe it and, taking an unusual chance on a new book, they printed a first edition of 15,000 copies of the “Voice of the Pack.” It has now sold in the 20,000 s and, except for New York and Boston, has hardly yet been distributed in American markets. Evidently their faith was repaid, for “The Strength of the Pines,” Marshall’s next novel, appears in January. But as to getting anything out of Marshall’s friends! Every one knew him and every one said, I don t know a thing to say, but,” with a reminiscent chuckle, “ask George. Now this mysterious George* it seemed, had been fishing and camping and duck hunting with our author, for to Marshall life is mostly one old duck hunt after another. And George had shared his escapades at the University of Oregon and also that fine course in journalism and short story writing for which Marshall has high P™ B ®-? Our George knew Marshall when he played hobo, gathering material for his splendid hobo and railroad stories, and during a brief but strenuous career as newspaper reporter. The elder Marshall, a newspaper man of the old school,' was very strict with his son in the matter of “slush.” His mother was perhaps more sympathetic m her More than likely it was George who came to the rescue when Marshall, in a rowboat, was earned away down a river toward a waterfall and probable death. Of course Edison was hunting ducks and a moment of excitement permitted his oars to slip through the locks and fall overboard. The stream was rocky and very swift and hands made poor paddles. Suddenly there appeared on the banks an angel with whiskers—“the only man 1 ever saw on that river”—and many a good tale was rescued by that bewhiskered George. ... Life has been full of adventures to Marshall—one of Item being lost and nearly frozen to death in an eastern Oregon blizzard. Bul we like him none the less that someone else always seems to de the hero work. Important Key is Lost. Now, come to ithink of it, one elderly gentleman did admit thal Marshall was absent-minded.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., July 15. The bad getaway of the third party in Chicago brought relief to both Republicans and Democrats. They believe the new party will cut little figure in the presidential campaign. Prediction was made that it would draw its strength chiefly from the Socialists. —o—- , Even a Democratic landslide would not give the party sufficient votes in the next senate to ratify I the league of nations in the form 1 desired by President Wilson, according to an analysis of the makeup of the next senate prepared by the Republican senatorial committee. ' The deficit of the railroads, which the government must make up, for , the three months following the passage of the transportation act, totaled $225,000,000. At this rate it i will cost the government $450,000,1000 for the six months guaranty , period ending Sept. 1. Postmaster General Burleson has failed to indicate so far any intention to allow superannuated employes of the postal service to reitain their places. This will hit 200 employes of the Chicago postoffice. —o—i The prospective agreement for the resumption of trade between Great Britain and soviet Russia will not cause the United States government to go farther _ than the recent action lifting restrictions on trade. Lafayette, Ind., July 14—The Lafayette Country Club has scheduled a golf match with the yHazeldon Club at George Ade’s summer home near Brook, to be played Sunday, July 18.
