CONGRATULATING THE LADIES! Wompn who li.nf b rn li'htin for suffrage for ypars. ar.'l finally attaint it through föderal amendment won a? ratification by another state is attained. nuht to bi delighted. ind ed, by tho insult thrown into thir teeth. In the report from Washington that 5n. Ifenry Cabot IkIkp is to bp temporary rhilrman of the rpptihli"an national convention ini will deliver the "keynote" ppeech. Sen. lode was chairman of tho committee on resolutions four years ncro and was tho crand opponfnt to the suffrage plank therein, finally comj romlsMnR on a ".tat. rights' reservation; always long on "reservations." S-n. lxdc:e Ik! H has nlwayx voted against suffragre too wherever and whenever he has ha4 a vote on the subject to cust. Those who attended the 1316 convention in Chicago will remember very well the unpleasant surprise that the senator served on th ladles in reading the report of the committee on resolutions; in other words, the platform: "The republican party, reaffirming its faith in government of the people, by the r.cople, and for the peopVo, as a measure of justice to on"half the adult people of the country, favors the extension of stiff rase to women" he.re;cl, and the suffragists present, having been promised a federal suffrasro pVok. thought they had It, and cheered, and eheerec, and waved their handkerchiefs and cheered, whib; Mr. Lodge bowed, an l smiled, and bowed seme m'-re, until thy had subsided, and then went on: "Hut recognises the rK-ht of each state to settle, this rpjeAtion for itself, after which the cheers changed into hisses and groans. Is it possible that Chairman Will Hays, and the "eld guard." can find r.o one better fitted to open th convention thLs year, than that doublerrosser to American womanhood? Fay nothing of the other insults to American intelligence of which Sen. l'odge has been guilty, his chameleonlike attitude on all tbincs other than woman suffrage including his change of color on th" league of Nation to make of it a partisan football, the women of tha country have a right to resent his presence in th convention in any such capacity. The senator has stood firm against woman suffrage, and stood ilrm on that subject quite alone. Hut for his kaderi-tiir.1 in the senate, the federal suffrage amendment would have been passed by the 6 6th congress, in time to have gotten before tho various state legislatures of 1919, in which casa its complete ratification would have been accomplished long apo. Hoping to Kilt it indefinitely, he arirued that it should b held over until a major republican congrrfs was ushered in. that the republicans m!s?ht have the credit, but then he fousht right on. and voted against th amendment still. To Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, more than any othr score of men. i? chargeable the expense of the various stat legislatures includinc that of Indiana. tht have been called into extra session, that this federal amendment might bf ratified, and one state in needed still. Of course, it i.- not our funeral. We merely mention it in passing that the ladb's may witness the performance more understandlngly. The democrats carried the same sort of a plank in their 1916 platform as did the republicans but the father of it. and the major advocates of it. are not belnc pushed to th platform as the present day spokesmen of the party. They're down south where, tho opposition to suffrage is based on the ignorance of the "colored mammies' and "poor whites." rather than a with Mr. Iodge. to the vote being extended to the intelligent and hiarhminded women of the north.

ANOTHER LOSS TO SOUTH BEND. Sale of th Ohvrr hotel, while it promises enlarged hotel f ai i'lties for South Hend, otherwise mear. much to the city in the lcs to our civic life c-f Abe Frank, who has been the proprietor and Ü3 mantrer. bringing that hostelry up to its present hlch standard of -xceller.ee. Mr. Frank has been a factor in South Iler.d. Cnder him the hotel was remod' led; . lines': rebuilt. He I;. is made of it n center of attraction. In addition t that he hn reached out. wus instrumental in the formation of the Interstate Fair association, ar.d its first president; took an active hand in the re '.tallr-Ation of the Indiana club and th Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps quite an much is owed to him as to anyone, for our excellent Country club. Good roads and industrial expansion have also In en of great concern to him. When Abe Frsrk leave South Her.d he shoul i carry with him as many god wtshe. s thert are people here to confer them upon him: as many a ,h j.orilation rffi-rds wLn w c,et the returns from the late cer.s :s. f course, however, it will not be so. A man who does things always maks som cnemi s. inspires Jealousits, excites opposition; gets in bad here and thre. )n'.y mol'.ycoddU rs and nincompoop, without convictions or ambitions ar.d the ouraff to exeeur- them, gt through th world on flowery beds ur.soj'-d by thorns, c m t i or pebbles. R'Jt Mr. Frsnk ein depend up ui this, that though he may not go howei d ith ' ncomiums from our ritltena all. the friemi that he lias ..ie .11 the mor 1 4tatarmindl; hi fr:-nd, and friena-r for a goodly

reason; a friendship that will follow him to th ends of the earth. V need mnr Abe Frank in P-nuth nnd; Abe Franks not afraid of enmity; of opposition If U arises to rombat a good cause for which h stand.: er of the super-ens;tlven? of the apostles of lalsz faire. We have people among us who in the days of Adam would have opposed the discard ir.g of the fig-loaves or the emergence of humanity from living in caves. They are not, however, the Abe Franke. Mr. Frnk i on of thos who has believed in the possibilities of South Bend, has helped to make tho.A possibilities, probabilities, and will 1 glad to larn even after he has moved away, that they have become reall!is. California wins, according; to th jtreaent prospect, where South Utnd loses. The Oliver hotel will on to ho :irp, may ! fnlarjred. made capable of Prester accommodation., but it remains to be seen how th nw manRjfmer.t will dovetail Into the community life; V:rm Interest that personnel will tak in th? bpit-rment of conditions outbid the walls within which they ccme to promote their own welfnr. The new manajror. however, is aid to he a strictly up-to-date hotel man, and we take it from Mr. l'rnnk that an interest in the community .s .seminj to such ur-tn-datenes. so perhaps Iii? civic spirit will hp taken up where he leaves it. and continued. But anyhow South Bend will miss Mr. Frank. H' ha.s become- an influence in the community, too distinctively individualistic, to not b: missed.

BEING AN EXPERT. ne of tht reat demands of the times is for exfertH in every line. There is always room flt tho top. as the old saw says, but now there is more than room there is a void that aches and calls down to those on the lower rungs to hurry. The unskilled laborer, who is absent from the working forces of the country to the tune of about 4.000,000. can be nnide up for to a large extent by the use of mechanical devices. But. as one wi-o observer says, "when you introduce tho machine to displace Ihe unskilled labor' r, you must introduce at the Fame time the skilled engineer to mind the machine." That Ls to say. labor is not really displaced. On the contrary, the Introduction of the Ttchine creatrs other jobs, most of thorn requiring mor') skill than the first one. and all of them paying better because they produce more. Never, therefore, were thre greater inducements to .' man or woman to study, to learn more and better ways of doing the old things, to learn new things, new languages, new branches of science even philosophy and literature, for all things human help human beings to become bigger and more powerful person?. The campaign of the American Library association for "Books for Everybody" helps right along this line. The city man cannot do better right now thin to spend an evening or two every week browsing around his nearest library. Iet him take one shelf on a chosen subject and read straight through that shelf. By the time he has read a dozen books he has become an authority. He knows, moreover, which hooks are good and which useless. Nlsht schools, and correspondence courses may help. But just reading straight through a few shelves all by oneself, developing one's judgment along with one's knowledge, is a great thing for anybody. The rural dweller may get his books by mail or express from the nearest town. Librarians are only too anxious to extend their facilities. The Congressional library at Washincton will help. State libraries may bo utilized. The opportunities are at hand for those who want to use them. Why should not Americans, instead of being easy-going dubs, become a nation of experts?

FARM JOBS FOR "MIDDLE CLASS." Two loud cries for help continually sound in the people's ears. The farmers cry for men on their farms, and th "great middle class" cries to be rescued from the pressure of the upper and nether millstones, capital and labor. Why would it not be a good idea if a movement could be started to interest the salaried men whose salaries have not advanced with prices, in going out to the farms? One reason why these men have never branched out into business of their own is that they have never been able to save any capital. It requires no capital to work on another man's farm, but there is more future in it than in most city jobs. One may not care to thir.k of himself as a. hird man. but what is a clerk but a hired man? The great difficultj of the small-salarietl individual is that in town he spends every cent he make" for the bare necessaries of life. Then how about the farm job? Most of his living would come from the farm, and his cah would be left clear. Farm work has advanced much in method and convenience; the business head of the city man ought to make it ttill better. Isn't there a way out for both the harassed city man of the "middle class-" and the farmer in their getting together?

One reason airplanes attract so little attention nowadays i.-? that the populace is accustomed to straining its neck to gape at soaring prices.

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

Tin: ivook or ritoMisi:. With soul n-thrill and eyes a-gog, Whenever I've a leisure minute, I read the seed-man's catalogue And gaze upon the pictures in it. With many loud, ecstatic "dee's." And many large astonished "Gosh- ." I viev. the plates of giant peas And cuts of Brobdignagbn squashes. I see depicted, row on row Of lettuce heads, in sunny valleys; Enormous lettuce heads that grow As big as balls in bowling alleys. And corn whose tassels loom so tall (Black Mexican and Golden Bantam) They overtop the garden wall Along which seedsmen always plant 'em. I know that when I sow the seeds. No matter how I watch and 'tend 'em. My harvest will be only weeds Yet I shall have the seedman send 'em. I know that not upon this earth

Can men raise plants, for love or wages. Of such an equatorial girth As thoe displayed upon these pages. And yet. I thrill each passing year When 1 behold the pleasing pictures. With alternating hope and fear I scatter seeds and growing mixtures; No garden truck my labors bring. But why should hope be base or sordid ? For faith is a delightful thing Although It seldom is rewarded. (Copyright, 1920.)

finally Millicent, prevailing as such ;iy. The simplest of all gems, the turquoise, is Moflicent's talismanic stone. It is said to protect its wearer from all dangers, whether she walks or rides or flics, the present day legend must add. It is an augury of good fortune if she sees the new moon reflected in the stone. Saturday is her lucky day and 1 her lucky number and holly is her flower. (Copyright. 1920.)

The Horoscope

THURSDAY. MAY 1. The planets are again in contrary places for encouraging a very optimistic outlook, excepting for thos in employment. These have the augury of success', advancement and favors from their employers If they have won the right. For others it is a good day to deal with superiors or those in authority. It is fortunate for all in public employment who may seek honors and distinction. It is not advisable to risk money in speculation or by other hazardous means. There are likely to be interesting or peculiar occurrences of a social or romantic nature. These may be. of a sensational or eccentric nature. The sign suggests elopements or other unconventional situations. There is also some hint of disgrace for those who are indiscreet. Those whose birthday it is have the promise of a fortunate and ventful year, with the element of romance prominent. A child born on this day will be clever and accomplished, and will succeed.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

PARTISANSHIP GONE MAD. (Washington Poxt.) Never in the history of any American congress has there be. n such an instance of partisanship gon1 mad as in the act of the republican majority on the house ways and means committee excluding minority mer.jbers from the conferences at which the soldier bonus bill was drafted. No democrat on the committee was permitted to even know what was in th- bill until It w.u? reported out, when, with the o. k. of th " steering committee." It wa ordered rut through the house as a strictly republican measure. Democrat are citUenii and taxpayer and will contribute their share of the revenue w4th hich the l onus ;s paid, but they were not even allowed to be present when the bill was drafted, much les have a voice in its preparation. How difV ' - the attitude of the democrats when 'ney were 're majority during the wr and consulted and . ivised with the republican minority about all wer measures! Democrats and republicans aliVe fought and won th- war. and democrats and republicans alike have p ri?ht to a voice in adjusting compensation for tho men who faced the foe and wrought the victory.

MILLICENT. The affected young mis who changes her name from Mildred to Millicent in the fond belief that the two are interchangeable, is really

rechristening herself. The two ! names are utterly dissimilar.

Mt'Hcent. which is translated to

mean work strength, comes from j that remarkable word "amal" meanir:g work, which appeared in some similar form in all languages. We have our word "moll" from It. Many feminine names have been evolved from amal. the first probably being Amalaswinth. the unfortunate queen of Lombary. whom the Romans could not protect from the treachery of her favorites. Historians call her Amalasontha. but In Burgundy, she became Melisenda, Melicerte. and Melusine. Spanish balladlore reveals a Melisenda as the wife of Don Gayferos. who was taken captive by the Moors and we hear of her through Don Quixote. Melusine was the nymph, wife of Lord de Leezignan. who. according to old legend, retired from public view even' Saturday and turned into a serpent. Princess Melisende carried the crown of Jerusalem to the House of Anjoy and through the Provencal connection of the English court, luidy Melisent Stafford who lived during the reign of Henry II. established the name in England. It soon came to be spelt Melictnt and
