POLITICAL POWER

OF Election of Judge Lindsey in Denver a Triumph for Independents. LITTLE. PROGRESS MADE. SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO ON THE WHOLE HAS GAINED BUT LITTLE FOR THE FAIR SEX IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. Denver, Col., Dec. 7. The -eeent election furnished an excellent oppor tunity In this city to observe the work of "getting out the woman vote" In a state where women enjoy suffrage. This opportunity was taken advantage of by the Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw, a leader of the woman suffrage movement in the United States, and the Misses Ray Costello and Eleanor Randall, English women, who are active in the work of suffragettes in Great Britain. While, there were no demonstrations in Denver to equal the suffragettes disturbances in London, the English visitors saw the women of Colorado make their most determined campaign Bince the franchise was granted, some twelve years ago. Of late years the "woman vote" has made little difference in the political affairs of Colorado, chiefly because there has been no issue directly affect in j the women themselves. Lulled Into a false sense of security by the quiet, the republican and democratic machines In Denver determined to "shelve" Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who has revolutionized juvenile court metb ods. Judge Lindsey has been a thorn in the sides of both parties because of his habit of speaking his mind about the dishonest elements on either side. He desired re-election to the juvenile court, but the party leaders agreed to "shelve" him, and his name was not considered in either convention. Judge Lindsey announced that he Tvould run as an independent candidate Taut the party leaders received his announcement with laughter. It ws thought voters would be so intent on Voting a "straight" presidential ticket that an independent candidate for so Insignificant an office would receive so attention. Women Get to Work. But the women began to bestir themselves In behalf of Judge Lindsey. Indignation meetings were held and a pian 01 campaiga , was iormumtea. "Lindsey workers,", who volunteered their services without cost, were distributed at the various polling places. They wore Lindsey badges and their cry was "Scratch for Lindsey." Not & voter approached a polling .place j without running the gauntlet of these enthusiasts who worked with unflagging zeal from morning till night. The Lindsey women were assisted in their work by swarms of "Lindsey kids." The judge had endeared hlmeelf to the children of Denver, especially among the newsboys and bootblacks, in the business section of the city. Many a newsboy quit his paper selling in order to don a Lindsey badge and add his shrill treble to the "Scratch for Lindsey" chorus. The boys did not have a monopoly of this labor of love, however, for the girls insisted on helping in the work. Before the balloting had gone on an hour it was apparent that nothing could stem the Lindsey tide. Other candidates and all issues were lost Bight of. The "bosses" were alarmed and their paid workers were instructed to do their best to offset the work of the Lindsey brigade. But when the votes .were counted a laborious process, owing to the tremendous amount of scratching it was found that Jndge Lindsey had received something ' like Ixty per cent of the total vote. - One 6f these "Lindsey women" at a Capitol Hill polling place was a motherly looking woman, and was aided in her efforts by three enthusiastic boys who pounced upon the occupants of the automobiles that rolled up to the polling place. Without Remuneration. "I've been working since the polls opened, and I'm going to stay till they close," said this woman. "The woman of Denver have just got to elect Judge Undsey today or the right of the franchise should be taken away from them. The democratic and republican workers are getting from $5 to ?15 a day, but nobody is getting a cent for doing this work for Judge Lindsey. Yet we could have five times as many assistants at the polls if we needed them." 7 While this conversation was being carried on another side to the picture developed. A high power touring car was driven up to the polling place and a lieutenant of one of the Denver political bosses leaped out of tjie machine and beckoned two young women who wore party badges and who had been stationed at the polls to work in behalf of the "interests." Reaching under the seat of the auto the lieutenant brought out several boxes of candy neatly tied with gold cord. These he placed in the arms of the young women and then, after some consultation, he leaped In the machine and was driven to another polling place. "Those are . workers for So-and-So remarked the Lindsey worker, surveying the young women, who were re treating in triumph with their arms full of candy boxes. "I wonder how many , votes they'll be able to influ ence with their candy? A woman who will sell her vote for a few chocolates is a trifle worse than a man who sells his vote for a dollar now. Isn't she?" A study of political conditions in Colorado, does not bring to light many changes wrought by. the women since the franchise was granted. This Is due to the fact that the women have

WOMEN

SHOWN

WOMAN TAKES PART

IN POLITICAL AFFAIRS DR. MARGARET LONG. Dr. Margaret Long is a daughter of John D. Long, formerly Secretary of the Navy, and is taking a leading part in Denver politics. identified themselves with the dominant parties, save in some peculiar instance like Judge Lindsey's case where occasion demanded independent thinking and voting. Ten years ago the women of Colorado had two women members of the state legislature. Several laws framed by women in the interest of the sex have been passed, but as a whole the cause of suffrage in Colorado has been passive rather than aggressive. Attempts have been made to "stampede" the woman vote by raising false "moral issues," but these have fallen flat. Regarding the exercise of the fran chise the women have proved indifferent only In proportion to the importance of the elections. It cannot be said that they are more indifferent than the men or that there is a larger "stay at "home" vote among them. As a rule it will be found that the enfranchised women of the West echo the sentiments of Miss Ellis Meredith, a leading suffragist of Colorado, who in a recent magazine article declared that the greatest satisfaction comes not from voting, but from the knowledge that the right to vote is hera. As Practical Politicians. Instances are known of women taking to the game of politics "like ducks to water." 'One young woman during the campaign just closed visited every town in Wyoming and organized fifty Bryan clubs, as she expressed it, "just for the joy of the work." It is surprising to the visitor to a suffrage State to find women engaged in the . practical work at the polling places. After the stranger has run the gamut of the "workers" outside the polling place he finds that fully half the clerks and watchers are women. These clerical workers are re cruited from all ranks of life, and most of them welcome the opportuni ty of earning a little "pipn money" at this kind of employment They are lynx eyed when it comes to detection of fraud, and, unlike men, they do not hesitate to "speak up" whenever a suspicious circumstance arises. In Colorado, which may be said to be representative of the suffrage States of the West, conditions are summed up by a local suffrage leader as follows: "It may be that women suffrage has not done much good as far as accom plishing sweeping reforms is con cerned, but no one can get twelve reputable men in Colorado to sign a statement to the effect that -equal suffrage has done any harm." LIFE OF A PIMPLE. Complexions Are Cleared and Pimples Disappear Overnight Without Trouble. The dispensers of poslani, a new skin discovery, ask that notice be given that no one is urged to purchase it without first obtaining an experimental package. Those who have tried it will find that the fifty-cent box, on sale at W. H. Sudhoff's and all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the worst cases of ecaema, where the surface affected is not too large. The itching ceases on first application. It will also cure acne, tetter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives, barber's and every other form of itch, including itching feet. Being flesh-colored and containing no grease, the presence of poslani on exposed surfaces, such as the face and hands, is not perceptible. Water and soap cannot be used in connection with it, as these irritate and prolong skin troubles, sometimes even causing them. As o the experimental package of poslam, it can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight,' and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours. His Whole Duty. It is not often that one man is called upon to assume the duties of an army. Such a case Is on record, however, and is cited in Benjamin Willey's "History of the White Mountains." At the first legal meeting of the citizens of the little town of Albany. N. H., every soldier in the place was summoned to assemble. ' ' The officers were duly chosen, but it turned out there was only one private. Looking wistfully at his superiors in array before "him. the solitary representative of the ranks said: - "Gentlemen. l have one request to make that is, as I am the only soldier, I hope you will not be too severe In drilling me, but will spare me a little, as I may be needed another time." He also remarked that he could form a solid column, but that "it racked him shockingly to deploy."

BUT FEVRECRUlTS Wayne County fllerr Do Not Hanker to Serve as. "Food For Gunpowder." , HAVE GOOD EMPLOYMENT.

Uncle Sam, if he depended upon Richmond and this vicinity to furnish the men behind the guns for his fighting ships would soon have to dry dock all of them and take up the sign, "this country has gone out of the naval business. No nations need try to pick a quarrel with us." Today the United States ranks second to Great Britain as a naval power and your Uncle Samuel is always looking for men to man the ships of his constantly increasing fleet, so one of the numerous navy recruiting offices has been located at the Richmond post office bat, to the disgust of our Uncle, the local station is doing little or no business. The station has been located here since last September, being open to enlist recruits every Friday, but up to the present time Yeoman Ferguson, in charge of the station, has only been able to secure two or three recruits. Friday, as usual, Ferguson sat in his room at the postoffice, his face wear ing an expectant smile as he lovingly fingered some attractive literature relating in glowing terms the joys of the life of a merry tar, but not a prospect ive "food for gunpowder" darkened his door. Perhaps the reason the young men of this city and vicinity. are not attracted to Uncle Sam's sea service is because they have plenty of work open for them in this prosperous community aud the good wages they receive off sets their natural appetite for excite ment and adventure which is the magnet the government most depends upon to draw young men into the navy THREE MEN ESCAPE Prisoners at jeffersonville Re formatory Scale Prison Walls. COIL OF ROPE WAS USEC Jeffersonville, Ind., Dec. 7. Three convicts' made their escape from the ndiana Reformatory Sunday. The are Martin Whalen, convicted of grand larceny; John Whalen, assault, and Chas. Russell; grand larceny. All were serving indeterminate sen tences, with maximum penalties, rang ing from 14 to 21 years. The escape was effected with a coil of rope, enabling them to scale a se emded part of the wall. In one of the vestibules of the Tri bune building a crowd gathered a da: or two ago around a handsome little boy about ten years old, who, betweei sobs, told the sympathizing people "I want my father." Diligent search was made through the building, bu the missing father could not be found Men neglected business engagements and women forgot their errands in ar effort to console the little man. After a long time, when pictures and sorries failed to Interest the child, the fathe: sauntered leisurely along and seemed to. be astonished that the child should have worried, because he was only "one flight up." One man in the crowd said: "You know that, and the people with you know it, but the litle boy how about him? And how about all of us here, who have been caring for the youngster?" Sydnoy Smith's Salad Dressing. That witty divine. Sydney Smith wrote the following directions for a italad dressing, which those who have tried pniise highly: Two boiled potatoes strained through kitchen sieve Softness and smoothness to the salad Sive. Of mordant mustard take a single spoon Distrust the condiment that bites too ' soon. Yet deem it not, thou man of taste, a fault To add a double quantity of salt. Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown And twice with vinegar procured from town. Tree taste requires It. and your poet begs The pounded yellow of two hard boiled eggs. , Let onion's atoms lurk within the bowl And. scarce suspected, animate the whole, And lastly in the favored compound toss A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce. Oh, great and glorious! Oh. herbaceous meat! Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl Fudge Cake With Whipped Cream. Beat half a enp of butter to a cream Gradually beat in one cup of sugar, the beaten yolks of two eggs, three ounces or squares of chocolate melted over hot water, half a cup of molasses. half a cup of sour milk, half a cup of hot water and then two cups and one half of sifted pastry flour sifted again with one teaspoonful of soda. Bake In L FTTDGB C1U WITH WHIP FED CBEAJC a hot, well battered muffin pan and serve hot, with whipped cream sweet ened and flavored with vanilla or powdered cinnamon. The recipe makes about eighteen cakes. Part of It may be baked In a layer and the layer be tut into -halves and put together with t Uttle white iclAf.

Washington. Dec. 7. President rtoosevelt has decided that the right of the Government to protect its own properly gives him sufficient authority to proceed against the Anaconda properties of the Smelting Trust, and inas much as thousands of acres of forest ;f serves are alleged tQ bejn danger of destruction from tho poisonous fumes of the smelters, he has the proper officials actively at work on plans to end the nuisance.

It has long been known that certain vegetable extracts, oils and vital mineral elements of nature, properly blended and mixed, may not only add years to the average life, but add that which la yet greater the ability to succeed in all undertakings and to enjoy all of nature's great ambitions through the certain power of physical-mental magnetism. Those who lack these qualities. of health and magnetism will be interested in knowing that a well-known medical expert and writer on medical topics gives in a recent article the secret which enabled him to obtain fees ranging from $3,000 to 110.000 for treating the suecessful men of Wall street fame and millions. His exact words are: The treatment is simple, thorough and correct. Intelligently and persistently followed, it results in most wonderful health, strength and will power.

cluding Solicitor General Hoyt, agreed that the plan of a bill in equity was the best which had been presented, but he was anxious that there should be a cvertainty of results If the bill were filed, and the suits began. He therefore gave instructions that an agent of : the. Department of Justice, should pro ceed to the mines and make a thorj ough report as to the actual damage ' done, and whether it was likely to inI crease. j This step of the President had the effect of increasing the alarm of the trust people who expected to dispose of the whole matter at the conference j with the President, Saturday. PLEA TO GOVERNOR FOBjILLIICS LIFE Prisoner Hopes to Be Saved From Gallows. Chicago, Dec. 7. Francis E. Hinckley, attorney for Herman Billlk, sentenced to die next Friday for the poisoning of Mary Vzral, says he feels so sure Governor Deneen will grant a plea for commutation of punishment that he has practically given up his former plan to take tlie case to the supreme court. "However, if Governor Deneen should refuse to intervene it would not be too late to resort to my previous intention," he said. Hinckley went to Springfield today to make the plea. Billlk is also hopeful of being saved from the gallows. HAGERSTOWN IN GRIP OF JVULK FAMINE Eggs Are Also Scarce, Report Says. Hagerstown, Ind., Dec. 7.
