c;olii;x siij:ci Now that they've had their Hint; at Imost every phase of married life, and ' single life, too, for that matter, the J wise men and women of the east hink they have found a way to counteract the evil influences that tend to mar matrimony. A Hoston writer suggests that the "stupid" and "silent" moments of wedlock may be. avoided if "he" or "she" hikes away somewhere, alone, on a vacation. S"tupid and hilent moments! Can't a man and a woman sit together in love or deepest friendship, without talking al! the time? Surely there are times when both hunband and wife want to think about things which may be of greatest importance to them perronally but which might not make interesting conversation. Of course, there are "silent moments" after a row, for instance, which nhould not be allowed to multiply. Rut the silence prevailing when the two are reading, maybe, or one is reading, the other mentally planning for tho future that is a golden silence, the appreciation of which makes matrimony more beautiful. It does not make the silent hours of married life look brassy. When they fee like running away from each other because "the man is deteriorating sadly under continuous inspection", or "the woman's lustre is reduced because of lack of companlonV, as the Boston writer says they do, they should remember the chorus of that old-fashioned song: Holding hand, holding hand?;. The clock strikes twelve in the hall; And all the time you sit there, You don't say nothin' at all. Till: l ltEIGUT MONOPOLY. If the American people were not sick of LJubMidies before the revelations of the commerce commission investigation should make them o. From the testimony heard two strangely associated facts are learned. The government has expended $117.4 08,9 88 for the improvement of navigation on the great lakes in order that the people might have the benefit of water competition with rail lines, and the trunk lines of railroad have a monopoly of package shipping on the lakes. Thus the government has been indirectly subsidizing the railroads and aiding them to defeat its purpose to give the people competition. The same thing will happen if tho free tolls clause of the Panama canal bill is not repealed. If the railroads do not now control all of the coastwise shipping of I be Fnited States thy will quickly gain that control and defeat all efforts to maintain competition. The American people will no longer stand for subsidies that line the. coffers of railroad corporations. The lake carriers, it was shown, have received a raise of thirty-five per cent in package rates and the government is annually spending $l,:;00,OuO to maintain the right of way the raillake combination uses free of cost. A SUGGESTION. Sometime in the future, perhaps presently, the public comfort station is to be completed. It seems almost incredible, but is probably true. It is also probable that when the weather moderates the wall surrounding the grounds of the county building will be occupied by tho more or less voluntarily Idle. The association of ideas is that with the coping of the wall occupied by a row of curious and not ovr considerate, people it is going to be embarrassing for anybody but a man to enter the station. The subject is broached at this time in order that if any precautionary action should be deemed necessary it may bo taken before the station is opened. Idle men must, of course, have some place to stand or sit, but it would seem the proprieties dictate some other than the old rendezvous. There are plenty of other places and no hardship will be Inflicted if they are invited to find them. The vicinity of the station should be kept free of idlers and loafers. They should not be given an opportunity to make themselves obnoxious. ntl'AKS OF SUFFILGi:. The influence of equal suffrage was the most interesting and significant factor in the Illinois elections on Tuesday. It was the one thing most agerly scanned by newspaper readers the following morning. To a degree the result was to decide the question as to the attitude of women generallv toward the use of th" franchise and 'xlsting Institutions which thev wore expected to antagonize. The shoeing made was at once a tppointrnent and a continuation of anticipation. in hUago. where the

NEWS-'

en's vote in Chicago that they appeared to take a more discriminating Interest In the bond issues than In the moral aspect of the election. They seemed to have concentrated on the "little ballot" to save the city's money to the neglect of their avowed determination to eliminate certain elements in the city government. Out of the dozen bond propositions they defeated all but two or three, including the comprehensive subway. Out in the state, where there were less distracting interests and the issue was directly "wet" or "dry" the women strongly manifested their antipathy to the saloon and yet improved only about one-third of their opportunity. Out of sixty-seven towns voting on option the dryc carried forty-four and it is estimated put more than a thousand saloons of out business. The votes of women were felt with peculiar slgnltlcance in the coal mining district in the southern part of the state, where they voted the towns dry. The uncertainties of female suffrage on the liquor question were illustrated in Springfield, where 4,300 women voted dry and 4,570 women voted wet. The same thing happened in Aurora, where the woman vote was equally divided. A HFAL TILVGICDY. The fallibility of courts and juries is to be proved if Ietectivo Burns succeeds in establishing the innocence of I-ieo M. Frank by proving the responsibility of another persoe for the death of Mary Phagan, the Atlanta factory girl. Detective Burns has gone this far. He says the murder was committed by a pervert and trat Frank is not a pervert. In deference to the possibility of establishing Frank's innocence and Indirectly to the great detective, proceedings against Frank have come to a standstill. The man has been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. The evidence against Frank was so conclusive the jury did not hesitate to inflict the extreme penalty, but his. lawyers were confident of his innocence and they employed Detective Burns to untangle the web that has been woven about their client by circumstances and perjury. Stranger tragedies are enacted in real life than are portrayed on the stae or written in books of fiction. The plot against Frank, if such a plot exists, was well laid and consistently sustained. He was accused of the murder by James Conley. a Negro, and the accusation was supported by the testimony of a girl, iionifen Stover, who was the principal witness for the state. New evidence is always sufficient ground on which to grant a new trial, and that is what Frank's counsel believe Burns has found. Tlu detective predicates his case on the conviction that the murder was committed by a pervert. Specialists have made a thorough examination of Frank and found him a normal man. Now they propose to examine the Negro, Conlekv, to determine whether he is normal or a pervert, and tho detective says he has evidence which will disprove the story told on the stand by the Stover girl. A girl has been murdered, a man's life is at stake. Justice should prevail. After all the hue and crv over the selection of the reserve cities only; one. New Orleans, really filed a pro- j test. This city failed to get into the ; reserve circle, since the committee do- i cided that it was not the real money j ctnter of its district. The protest Is j not expected to go far as It is almost certain that no changes will be made. The governors of seven western states have made a demand for two additional regional banks, one in the Pacific northwest and one in the Rocky Mountain states. The committee planned these two immense territories to te served by San Francisco and Kansas City. Whatever there may te in violation of anti-trust laws in the shipments of beef to this country from Argentina it escaped the attention of agents of the department of justice. The importations appear to be coming in on the level, much to the surprise of the investigators. A Seattle man, confessing that he was participant in conspiracy to discredit strikers, has been sentenced to j six months in county stockade. It reI mains to be seen what Colorado I strikers charged with conspiracy against Oily John's concern will get. Gen. Carranza's boasted respect for the United Suites mav now be shown j by heeding the protest against de- . porting Siwiniards from Mexico. The The New York pastor who was so tenderly sympathetic that he kissed one of his women parishioners on the cheek has been declared guilty of imprudent and unministerial conduct. And the chances are li was no worse than that.

Another grand progressive step by th.- judiciary! A San Diego judse decides that a landlady shall not call a delinquent boarder a liar and threaten to "knock his block off before his friends, while trying to make him pay up. Now the almost priceless Egyptian papyrus has been stolen from the Louvre in Paris. But as the papyrus is not aj familiarly known as Mona Lisa or September Morn, world-wide excitement may not be great.

Aurora, Ind., game wardens had to move twenty tons of hay. recently, to find rlsh traps illegally possessed. Bet the culprit thought it was worth the $2S line to see them work that hard. Chicago university Is to have a seismograph that will record earthquakes in any part of the world, but will not be affected by explosions on the board of trade. Chicago has passed New York in population voting population. Envy of New Yorkers over that fact may aid woman's suffrage cause In Gotham. Apparently one term of Socialist eidel was enough for the people of Milwaukee. They have In preference flown back to the Ills they had. For the next two years at least the people of dry sections in Illinois will devote much thoughtful consideration to the irrigation problem. Illinois women are rejoicing over I what they did, but think of the good time they could have had over what they might have done! Goethals has slipped out of New York back to Panama as quietly as he came in. The bigger the man the less noise he makes. If King George is shrewd he'll get up a German or French war scare. Several British factions seem to be after George. STATESMEN REAL AND NEAR BY FRED C. KELLY. WASHINGTON, April a.Kepresentative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, who Is one of the scholars of congress, owes much of his success in life to the fact that the limbs of a certain tree back home grew in Just the shape they did. Fess was raised on a farm, and as his father died when he was small, a great deal of work fell to his lot. But the more he worked the more he desired time to read. Whenever he was able to save a dollar or two he spent the money for books. Whereupon his brothers would jump all over him, inquiring: "What good will the books do you after you get them?" All his relatives and friends advised him to try to forget his frivolous ways and stick to work. Every time they caught him reading, they cited cases of boys who had idled away their time over books as he was doing, and grew up to be poets, paupers and dressmakers' husbands. Fess then tried to read In secret, but there was not a place In the house or barn where he could be alone. Invariably somebody discovered him and forced him to go from Milton to milking. In despair Fess looked about for a place to roid in peace, and he discovered the maple tree that was to become one of the best friends he ever had. It had one large limb that a boy could straddle and ride comfortably for hours at a stretch, and it grow at an angle that permitted the main trunk to serve as an excellent support for one's back. Moreover, there was a hollow place In the trunk where boots could be kept. The foliage was so luxuriant that one could hide there with Ralph Waldo Emerson or John Bunyan and be effectually concealed from the view of those who busied themselves with the more routine side of farm life, such as throwing down hay or plucking potatoes from the warm mother earth. In that way and in that tree Fess got himself launched on his scholarly career as an educator and statesman. Except for that tree he might have ended up as a painless dentist. Representative Denis O'Leary of New York received a letter a time ago from a constituent who expressed an earnest desire for an assortment of garden seed. O'Leary sent them, but there must have been a slip-up on the part of Mr. Burleson's post office department, for- a few weeks later Oljeary received another note from the man deploring the fact that Uie seeds had never reached him. "Why ain't I just as much entitled to seeds as anybody else?" the writer demanded. "Two of my neighbors sent for seeds the same . time as I did, and one of them has had his in the ground now for six weeks already. His plants is beginning to show above ground. It it I'm not I Just aa good as my neighbors?" And so on ior a coupje oi pai;es. xnen ai the bottom of the letter was this brief postscript: "Them dam seeds has just arrived." Representative Stephens of California got a request for garden seeds from a woman in his district, who wished to grow things in the ground. Without wasting a moment. Stephens placed almost a dime's worth of seeds in a government envelope with his congressional frank tn one" corner and sent them off to brirhten the landscape in California, When the woman got the seeds sho read ' on the envelope the words. $300 fine for private use." So she promptly sent the seeds back with this not of explanation: "I am much obliged for these seeds, but I wanted them to use In my own private garden, and I couldn't possibly afford to pay a 5300 fine if I were canght pl.inting them." With the exception of Smith and Stephens, the commonest name in the house of representatives is Taylor. There are four Taylors and they hail from New York, Colorado, Arkansas and Alabama. All are democrats. Moreover they are In perfect accord on the great questions of the day. Not once since the four Taylors have been in congress together have they

Prexy Eliot, emeritus (whatever that is), no doubt Is in good working order at 80 as a direct result of having taken care of an inherited constitution being abstemious in his diet, taking plenty of outdoor exercise and spending two months each year at the sea shore. Also and again, John Burroughs probably is able to count his profits each and every day on one of his famous "There's a Reason" brand from the simple fact that he eats three square meals a day and walks five miles between times. Fair enough. But if either of them had to get up at five bells In the morning, shovel two or three bushels of ashes out of the furnace, put on eight or ten level shovels full of coal (if there is that much in the bin), carry said ashes half a block to the back end of the lot, make a fire in the kitchen stove so it will be warm for wifey to dress and make the toast, spade a patch of pardon, beat a piece of carpet, mend a broken fence and then come into breakfast, after which you sometimes(?) get a look at the Morning Snooze, then beat it hot-foot for the office, things would look different. Yes, and that isn't all. Driving your automobile around town collecting the rent all forenoon is no cinch. Then you can spend your noon hour picking up the toys one of your youngsters left in the middle of each and every room of your spacious three room flat, help friend wife 'carry a bed from the basement to the third floor, wipe the dishes, mend a chair by hitting it with an ax and such other little things as naturally (or unnaturally) come up from time to time, usually about every day. 1 WHAT THE GRADUALLY TIIK DOOR OPKXS. Secrecy has long been one of the most potent instruments of unrepresentative government. .Secret caucuses and executive sessions have cloaked the motives and the designs of legislators who have not scrupled to undo the people's will or render nugatory the pledges of party platforms. The light that impends in the United States senate to abolish the executive sessions of that body is symptomatic of the new spirit that prevails in the country a spirit that Is insistent and will not be denied. There is a demand for publicity on all legislative proceedings not because the public is inquisitive, but because it feels that only by publicity can it circumvent the men and the influence that, in the past, have had so large and so sudversive a power on the course of government. Few subjects of legislative deliberation are so sacred or so delicate that they can not be discussed in the open. It Is true that treaties are excepted in the Kcnyon resolution because of international embarrassments that might arise if a complete report of the debates were published. But it is possible, in view of a certain recent and notable example, that even treaties might be better drawn if subjected to publicity In their formative period. Senators Clapp and Polndexter, progressives, are among the small group who have signified their intention of discussing freely for the public's information the executive session debates on the confirmation of presidential nominees. The stsnd of these two senators is Illustrative of the progressive point of view throughout. The movement toward publicity in the senate found It Inspiration In the new party's attitude toward all secrecy. What, indeed, is more essential than that federal appointees and their qualifications fhould be known to the people? Publicity in such a respect is the most powerful corrective of the tendency that always manifests itself, failed to vote the same way. Fvery Taylor agrees perfectly with every other Taylor. Representative Henry Vollmer, a newly arrived member of congress from Iowa, was in public, life here in, Washington on a previous occasion some 'J5 years ago. That time he was distributing clerk in the house, a position that carried with it such duties as jabbing the various bills into proper pigeon holes. It was not so onerous a position in those days that one didn't have time for other things, and Vollmer used to sit and listen to the debates by the hour, dreaming of the time when he, too. would place remarks in the Congressional Record. When he came here recently to take his tea,t Vollmer was escorted over to the house by his colleague. Maurice Connolly. "They're just finishing up the debate on the education bill," explained Connolly. "Well, I'm glad they're finishing up," said . Vollmer: "they were ju.ct starting the debate on the education bill whn I left here 25 years ago." (Copyright. 1914. by Fred C. Kelly. All rights reserved.)

After that you can spend the afternoon attending ight or ten directors meetings, help to regulate the tariff question, bust a trust or two for recreation, insist on higher freight rates, help the "drys" with on1 hand while yoU take a high one with the other, play a few hours on 'change, and any other small matters you may have to attend to. 5o much for the business of work and giving H. c. L. a run for his whitealley. After dinner (some country people call it supper) you help with the dishes again, (havinar "set" the table and helped friend wife prepare tho evening meal), break up a few boxes for that kitchen stove, plant the sweet peas along the wood-shed, put a newseat in the porch swing, lay the carpet you beat out In the morning, burn the papers from the waste basket in the same kitchen, go to the grocery and the meat market and spend as much as twenty cents for the next day's provender, go down in the basement and bring up the washed clothes, fix a gas jet or two, put up a window shade, bo lance about on a high stool while helping wife to hang the curtains, and after a few other sundry duties that hae been waiting your hand since morning, you can kiss baby good night and roll in the feathers. Why talk about trips to the sea shore or walks of five miles each day? That's work. II. LYNN STALE Y. THE precedent of describing gowns worn at the polls in suffrage states has beep set by the Chicago press. Here is an example: "Mrs. Chalmers wore a coat suit of dark blue with black velvet cuffs and coat pipings, a ruff of ribbon around her throat and a little sailor hat of dark straw trimmed with big bows of moire ribbon."

"AND." the paper might hav? added, "the next voter in line wore a derby hat with a 'stove in the side and a black eye securely pasted on." But the Tailor Sat on a Table. (Toledo Blade.) A Boston doctor says sitting on the floor will reduce flesh. One of the fattest men we ever knew was a journeyman tailor. ADD to the list of national holidays: The first full sunshiny day. WHADDAYA mean, doing as well as could be expected? How well could he or she be expected to do? OUR too infrequent contributor, A. G. G., hands us Robert Burns' sermon j on good roads: "I am now arrived, thanks to tho gods. Through pathways rough and muddy, A certain sign that makin roads Is not this people's study. Although I'm not w i' scripture crammed. I'm sure the Bible says That heedless sinners shall be damned Unless they mend their ways." Back to the Stone Age. Sir: If "One on the Aisle" persists in digging up an old joke now and then j he can add one more to his allitera- j tion: canned. Here is one so old the j rising generation never heard it. What j is that which boys never have, girls have but once, but Mrs. Mulligan had it twice in the same place? Guessed it the first time. I knew you would. F. M. R. What odds then? Let the navy cry. Tho'armv boys are always dry. C. N. F. PAPERS SAY in majority parties, to consider ex-1 pediency above service. j But the victory will be only half j won until the secret caucus also is abolished. It has been the source, in years gone by, of tremendous abuses, and so long as it exists it remains a potential danger. Truly representative government consists in the completest svmpathv between the legislator and the governed, and the secret caucus i nullities that svmpathy. Terre Haute I .Star. . 1 Till: ILLINOIS KLLCTIONS. . Yesterday's elections in Illinois ! created an interest that was unusual ' because of the speculation over the ' inll uence that the women would have ! in the results. In a great many towns j and cities of the state the saloon question was the paramount issue and it i was expected that the women would j be unanimous in favor of closing the saloons. Returns are not complete i but such as they are indicate that i when it comes to voting, women are j much the same as men. In the early returns we have it re- I ported that Springfield. Waukogan. j Rock Island and Moline voted wet and that Ttockfield, Oalesburg, Bloom- ! ington, Decatur and Monmouth voted j dry. It is estimated that over three j hundred saloons were voted out of business. Tho result is about, as it might have ben had the women had ! no right to vote it was about as it has been in former option elections. In nearly all of the local elections in Illinois the question between li censed and no-license saloons was as sociated with local political issues. The saloon question in nearly every instance was associated with some local controversy, An analysis of the vote in Illinois is going to be interesting. It will be interesting to know what proportion of the registered women voters cared enough to vote. One city reports that but twenty per cent of the women who were registered went to the polls. From Springfield we have the report that the women voted "wet", while from Decatur there comes the report that the women voted "dry". S me interesting conclusions will be drawn from the Illinois results. Possibly it would be advisable to hold back conclusions until the complete returns are known. But from the first reports it is only fair to conclude that the right of suffrage, if granted women, is not going to revolutionize political sentiment at one. With a woman as a candidate for alderman in the First wa,rd of Chicago a mighty effort, was made to redeem that sinoppressed province, but despite the woman's influence "Bathhouse John" was re-elected by a vote of four to one, and it was one of the easiest campaigns of "Bathhouse John's" carter.

Value;

Value of property depends upon the improvements. A few dollars spent for improvements is sure to bring rich returns in selling or renting a home. No one thing advances values more and costs so little as ELECTRIC WIRING. , No home can be called modern without Electric service. At this time so many people are accustomed to Electric service and its advantages, that to rent or sell property withoiu it is difficult and unprofitable. Why not bring your property to the front 3y modernizing the house with Electric Wiring? It is no longer an expense but an investment that brings rich returns. Wiring is done at very low cost and with little or no inconvenience, floors and walls need not be disfigured nor furniture disturbed. The best wiring offer and the greatest inducements ever made are now in force. Let us explain how we can wire at cost, allow twelve months to pay and allow the first three months' current FREE.
