THAT NEIGHBOR OF YOURS.

Republicans have every advantage in argument. Now is the time to impress on your neighbor the good that is in Republican party management of public affairs.—Republican paper. Just call his attention, for instance, to the fact that in twelve years the cost of living has increased 56 per cent; that in that time ninetenths of all the trusts that are picking his pocket have grown up; that taxes are higher than ever before; that two years ago occurred the worst panic the country has known and the effects of which are still felt; that within the last few years the government has lost hundreds of millions of dollars through customs frauds; that a tariff law so bad that twenty Republican representatives and seven Republican senators refused to vote for it, was passed at the last session of congress by the Republican majority; that during the last four years of the Roosevelt administration a billion dollars more was spent than during the last term of Clevelan. And so on. There are plenty of things of this sort with which you can Impress your neighbor. Do it, too, if he asks you.

JUST PLAIN LYING.

A Republican hand-me-out sheet caUed "The Politician,” printed in Indianapolis but published nowhere, contains an article of which the following la a part and sample: Democrats have a way of forgetting bi-partisan control laws when they get into power. Governor Marshall is a typical spoils DemocratHe is running a large risk in discharging Republicans without cause an ip putting Democratic political hm n In the vacancies.

It then goes on to say that “bipartisan control has worked admirably for years.” When Governor Marshall went into office he found all appointive places filled to the limit of his predecessor, Mr- Hanly. Where these appointments were for a definite term Governor Marshall respected the Haw and made no effort to dispossess the Incumbents, as Republican governors have been in the habit of doing. The Republican adjutant general, although memtermaster general, although members of his stalff, he allowed to continue in office until the end of their terms, nearly a year. The state oil supervisor and the thirty-five or forty oil Inspectors, all Republicans, are still holding their jobs. The same is true of the factory inspector and also of the fish and game commissioner and his army of deputies, and of the other boards and commissioners appointed for definite terms. With all of these persons the governor has been exceedingly patient. In due time his own appointees will get all of these places, as they should.

As to bi-partisan control working “admirably for years,” it can be said that there was no real bi-parti-san management under Governor Marshall’s predecessors. Republicans got the jobs and held them. At the Jeffersonville Reformatory, for illustration, more than 90 per cent of all employes were machnie Republicans. This is a fair sample of the kind of bi-partisan control that "worked admirably for years.” It shows that a large amount of genuine reform was needed and Governor Marshall will see that It is brought about for the good of the public.

RED CROSS STAMPS.

Bellows and Mrs. J. M.Wasson are appointed a committee to look after the work here, and the stamps can be had from either them or from either of the drug stores. This is for a charitable, cause and the ladles ask everyone to buy the stamps and use them on their Christmas packages.

Our National Extravagance.

By JAMES J. HILL. Chairman

serious phase of national extravagance is that it t :: BREEDS AND KEEPS ON BREEDING GREATt 1 I J ER AND GREATER EXTRAVAGANCE. We T » are in a period now of reckless spending, both INDI- ? o VIDUALLY AND NATIONALLY. There are ***•”"*♦♦*♦ NO INDICATIONS of that RETRENCHMENT which is necessary for sound economy. One of the most serious phases of our situation is the fact that the BALANCE OF TRADE IN FAVOR OF THE UNITED STATES HAS FALLEN TO A LOW FIGURE. We used to have five or six hundred millions on our side annually. Now it is not more than a hundred millions. We are sending less and less each year of our products abroad and therefore have a correspondingly SMALLER BALANCE TO PAY OUR BILLS FOR FOREIGN PURCHASES.

THE APPROPRIATIONS OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT KEEP ON INCREASING IN SIZE EACH YEAR. MILLIONS ARE VOTED, AS IF THERE WERE NO LIMIT TO THE RESOURCES, BUT TAXES KEEP STEADILY GROWING LARGER. 1 here is much talk about an income tax in this country. The taxes imposed on the railroads of the United States equal 12 per cent of their net income, lhe net income of a company represents what it earns, just like the income of an individual citizen. What, would the average citizen say to an income tax of 12 per cent on his yearly earnings? The COST OF LIVING HAS INCREASED greatly. Every housekeeper knows that. Some persons say that the cheapening of gold, lessening its purchasing power, is the cause. That is a subterfuge statement merely to befog the issue. EVERY EXTRAVAGANCE, WHETHER IT BE STATE OR INDIVIDUAL! EVERY INCREASE IN PRICES, WHETHER IT BE IN WAGES, RATES OR COMMODITIES, COMES OUT OF THE CONSUMER. HE MUST PAY THE BILLS.

Dress the Root of All Evil In Society.

By MAY SUTTON.

DRESS is one thing on which every one in the Newport society set is mad. 'And the extravagance of dress and ultra fashion is the only thing with which I find serious fault This outrageous devotion to fashion, the endeavor to have the latest and moat extreme creation of the mode, is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL OF SOCIETY IN AMERICA. Divorce, which I consider the worst evil of America; suicide —ALL CRIMES WHEN FOUND IN SOCIETY ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLOTHES.

WOMEN CANNOT BE HAPPY, CONTENTED OR THOUGHTFUL WHEN THEIR MINDS ARE OCCUPIED WITH CLOTHES ALONE,

That is why athletics for women are beneficial, although some women even when they go in for athletics cannot get away from clothes and the constant thought of them. Most of the smart set in Newport dress too elaborately for ordinary affairs and make up too much. They CAN’T FORGET THEIR CLOTHES at any time. I believe they DREAM OF THEM. If they could get clothes out of their beads for a few hours every day, dress normally and sensibly, take some good exercise, GIVE THEIR BODIES AND THEIR MINDS HALF A CHANCE, they would have a good time in life and there would be an end to most of the scandals, beartbreakings, divorce —all kinds of trouble.

Woman Can Never Be Man’s Equal.

By Professor CHARLES HEYDEMANN.

y W OMAN 18 NOT MAN’S EQUAL, NEVER HAS BEEN AND fl fl I NEVER WILL BE. SHE IS THE COMPLEMENT OF MAN, BUT THE LESSER ONE, AS EXPRESSED BY THE TERM “MINUS.” NO ONE DENIES HER GREAT QUALITIES. BUT IF SHE IS ENTITLED TO THE SYMPATHY OF HUMANITY AS SUCH, SHE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE CAPABLE OF UNDERTAKING THE DUTIES OF A CITIZEN. HMM There is a certain class of women of the present day who claim equality with man, and more especially political equality. Now, WOMAN CAN NEVER BE MAN’S EQUAL INTELLECTUALLY, MORALLY OR PHYSICALLY. In nature there is continual warfare, eternal struggle for life, in which the WEAKER GOES TO THE WALL and the stronger comes out on top. By this Ido not only mean the physically stronger or the predominance of brute force, but aho the intellectually and morally stronger, who will always rise above the ruck. And the same law applies in the difference of sexes. Of course woman is more precocious in her development than man; but, then, so are CHIMPANZEES AND ALL INFERIOR RACES. Woman has also a longer body or trunk compared with the lower members than man, in which she likewise is similar to monkeys and children, t . But in the intellectual sphere she not only must remain inferior, but HER INFERIOITY, OR, RATHER, MAN’S SUPERIORITY, MUST INCREASE IF THE RACE IS TO PROGRESS That is the LAW OF EVOLUTION, which has been proved in countless instances by the greatest scientists of the world.

AND SURELY THEIR BODIES CANNOT BE NORMAL WHEN THEY ARE INCLOSED IN THESE SAME CLOTHES, FOR THEY ARE AS CRUEL AS THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION. WHEN THEY ARE NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT ACTUALLY IN PAIN, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THEIR DISPOSITIONS ARE SPOILED, THAT ANGER FOLLOWS, AND THEN DIVORCE, SCANDAL, SUk CIDE, ANYTHING?
