The reports received at headquarters of the

two political parties in Wayne women are apathetic toward right to vote for president and

the fall elections indicate that some of them at

least are not aware of the privilege accorded

them in this state.

That leaders should be alarmed over this

tstate is natural. That vigorous efforts should be 'launched to counteract the apathy and induce

fwomen to vote is right and fitting. The women of America had and long fight before the right

igiven them. Everyone understands why women

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams IF YOU LOSE YOURSELF What Is more valuable than your personality? What would you do if ou didn't have yourself that somejthing which represents all that you are of both good and bad? What would it profit anyone If he twere to gain the whole world and yet Jose himself? It is the greatest battle you will ever (be able to fight, this battle for your rwn individual preservation the YOU which sets you apart. A man grows dominant when he teenies to the realization that the best 3!ace to talk things over Is Inside his jown self-house. Of course, there may be those in'vlted Inside this place of Individual power but always as friends and Iguests, with the Man himself as host ie-nd "Master of the Inn." You can acquire knowledge, Inherit wealth, earn fame and power but you Are born with that precious Something That You Are! This You of Yours once lost, thru misuse or no use, is bound to mark you as a mere pawn to power only a tenant in a house that rightfully belongs to you. It is a fight worth the making this seeking to presrve the best that we are and all that we represent. If a person has self-atmosphere, we want to be around them. Leaders know. If you" lose yourself, you vacate choice property and ,hand It over to incompetents and worse than usurers and robbers. For a human being is supposed to hold himself in check and in hand, and prove that he is "the noblest work of God." Be watchful and Jealous of yourself! Good Evening By Roy K.

Then came the wo!! known voice Of the lady of the house, who said: "I don't want to reform my husband. I have no time to make him over. I can't fool away a lot of years Trying to make him better. It takes every minute of my time To keep hini from getting worse Than he is now. Good day."

prevent them from so doing. Both parties will find a considerable number of men who will neglect the highly important duty of registering. They are to be censured for this failure. The right to vote is a priceless heritage. It was gained after many a hard fought controversy. If an attempt were made now to abridge or abrogate this right, voters would voice their opposition in no mistakable manner. Because

county that exercising their the right is ours, vice - president in

vent us from going to the polls, too many of us regard the opportunity too lightly, and often are too indolent to register our names so that we may have this privilege. It is to be hoped that the women of Wayne county will register in large numbers and will proceed to the polls next fall to take advantage of their opportunity. There ought to be no argument sufficiently strong to keep a woman from voting for her choice for president and vice-presi-, dent.

Dinner Stories Mrs. Sutton advertised for a woman to do general housework, and In answer a colored girl called, announcing that she had come for the position. "Are you a good cook?" asked Mrs. Sutton. "No, indeed, I dont cook," was the reply. "Are you a good laundress?" "I wouldn't do washin and Ironln'; it's too hard on the hands." "Can you sweep?" asked Mrs. Sutton. "Xo," was the positive answer. Tm not strong enough." "Well," said the lady of the house quite exasperated, "may I ask what you can do." "I dusts," came the placid reply Everybody's Magazine, The meeting was interrupted by the entrance of one who made his way to the platform and whispered excitedly to the chairman. "Is Mr. Smith in the audience?" broke forth the presiding officer. "I am informed this his house is afire." Forty men sprang to their feet. "It is the house of Mr. John Smith," added the chairman. "Thank goodness!" fervently exclaimed one man, resuming his seat. Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years . Ago Today v ' It had been proposed that Wayne county send Its insane to the Sisters of Mercy institution at Jeffersonville until they could be admitted to state hospitals. With this idea in view, County Commissioners Beeson and Linderman and county infirmary superintendent Harry Meek made a trip of inspection to the private institution. As a result of a drunken brawl in Kennepohl's saloon on North D street, Dougles Scott, a negro, received a terrific punch in the eye from Llge Brokamp, the bartender. It was at first thought that as a result the negro would lose the sight of the abus ed optic, but he recovered the use of it after being taken to city Jail. Monday, Aug. 2.

in Wayne county ought to reg vote. No consideration should and there is no effort to pre WOMEN ARE (Continued From Page One.) porter who wrote the article in which Mr. Slekman is quoted. The undersigned, both being practical newspaper women and understanding how articles for newspapers are sometimes, although not invariably, written, are inclined to believe that the only "party leader" referred to in the article is Mr. Henry Siekman. Explains Stand Mr. Siekman stopped the Repub lican woman chairman on the street and gave utterance to the same sent! ments and has, it is said, said the same thing to any one else with whom he was in conversation. Mr. Siekman admitted on inquiry from the Republican woman chairman that he was not the precinct commit teeman In the 21st precinct but was merely working for the official. When asked if ne talked to every single woman living in the 21st pre cinct he stated "practically so." "Practically so" is one of the best little first aids to all persons who haven't sworn affidavits on hand. It is a convenient little phrase with which all newspaper people are fam iliar. Granting that Mr. Siekman's statement, however, was a fact, what does he know about the other 65 precincts in the county so far as the woman vote is concerned? The only official information con cerning the latter is lodged with the woman chairmen of the Republican and Democratic county committees. Therefore any statements emanat ing from any other source are based on conjecture merely. Works on Poll The Republican woman chairman has been at work on the poll, under direct supervision of the state Republican committee, since the first of March and has the majority of the poll-books in her hands and wishes to state that from information therein, from visiting every section of Wayne county, and talking personally with large numbers of women, and from having polled four precincts herself personally, and from personal reports from precinct committee women, and has stated since last May that 50 of the women In Wayne county will vote. This Is, she thinks, a conservative estimate. The Democratic woman chairman, who has Just completed her organization and will begin a poll of woman voters soon, states that having been all over the county and talked with women in every precinct, that elxty per cent of the women will vote. Hard Work Done A vast amount of hard, detailed and continuous work has been done by the Republican and Democratic vwomen's organizations in Wayne county to lay the foundation for a systematic educational campaign on party lines. Let Mr. biekman and other men making half-baked statements, from which erroneous deductions are made and bruited broadcast, ascertain the! facts. I Let them remember that this Is vlr-; gin soil that is being worked. That the women, for the first time in the history of Indiana, are to exercise the right of franchise. That the greatest tact, diplomacy, good sense and patience has to be used by the women's organizations in getting the women organized and in getting them to understand that they are now voters before the law. Had Their Troubles It la true that many women did not know how they could vote In Indiana. But men didn't know it, either, and many a precinct commilteo woman has had to wage a battle with some men at doors she has visited to get the woman's poll, because he stated the women couldn't vote, and Insisted in his statement. A real "party leader," so far as official position is concerned, also stated he saw no reason in taking the worn-

Answers to Questions Inquire: Where can I find the poem with the lines: Heart9 don't change much after all; Men are only boys grown tall. The line will be found in the poem "Katie Lee and Willie Gray". The poem begins: Two brown heads with tossing curls Red lips closing over pearls. The author of tho poem was Josle R. Hunt. It can be found In several collections of poetry, Including Best Selections, No. 8; Cumnock's School Speaker: Fulton and Trueblood's Choice Readings; Best Selections No. 1; Munroe's Young Folk's Readings; New Popular Speaker, and Young People's Speaker.

Answers will be slven briefly. en's poll, because women couldrrt vote. Let the men look to their own lines and begin a campaign of education. The smallest vote ever registered in Wayne county followed the biggest campaign of publicity ever occurring in Wayne county, in the primary cam paign last spring. And only the men voted. The truth is that the biggest public ity campaign that ha3 been waged among the women has been in the taking of the poll, when every house was visited and information disseminated. From the fact that one feminine resident of the 21st precinct stated that she "wouldn't tell Mr. Siekman, anyway, if she was going to vote," might lead to the impartial conclusion that, perhaps, Mr. Siekman might not have approached the housewife who came to the door with as much diplomacy as the occasion called for. We further wish to publicly say that any statements of the character of that made by Sir. Siekman, or made by anybody, are not official or authentic. Both parties have a separate woman's organization working with the men's county committees, and as heads of the Republican and the Democratic woman's organization we wish to say that the only accurate and authentic information concerning the status of the woman vote in Wayne county can be secured from us. Suggest Work We also suggest to Mr. Siekman that he do a little proselyting in the 21st precinct, as a feminine member of his household refused to act as precinct committee woman in that precinct, after she had been urged to ac cept, because she said she was "not interested." When the campaign begins the women, like, the men, will "begin to take more interest in political affairs." Women are human beings, Just like men. In the meantime, statements like Mr. Siekman's are not either comprehensive or based on that canny political wisdom the women have been frequently told that the men possess and that they must acquire. Wo regard Mr. Siekman's remarks, to say the least, as very poor politics. ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE, Republican Woman Chairman for Wayne County. RUTH JAMES, Democratic Woman Chairman for Wa.vne County.
