front in politics says an exchange It looks I little bit that way around this part of the country Sentinel 11 A Republican friend of mine furnishes fur-nishes the following excuse for the lack of enthusiasm during the recent Republican parade It was principles not men we voted for f The letter from a Vernal correspondent correspond-ent recently published in The Herald is a very fine sample of Republican campaign literature For partisan purposes pur-poses those men signed their names to a circular which they knew contained untruths But this is not the worst of it Among the signers of the screed that appeared in the Utah County Dishrag to the effect that the opening of the Uintah and Uncompahgre reser vations would do far more damage than good were those whose names appear on the petition asking Hon Joseph L Rawlins to use all efforts to cause them to be opened And it is just such men as these whose votes gave F J Cannon a majority ma-jority over Joseph L Rawlins k Heretofore young ladies have occupied occu-pied clerkship positions in the Idaho legislature but unless all signs fail the fair sex will be boycotted hereafter hereaf-ter in favor of males In the coming i legislature I read in the Statesman it is just possible some of the young voters those who aided in rolling upI up-I Idahos magnificent Republican majority i ma-jority will be given the positions The Republican state central committee I I through its chairman M Patrie has announced itself emphatically opposed I to the employment of female clerks in the next legislature and the sweet girl I candidate will have to become far more affectionate and a great deal more lavish lav-ish in the distribution of captivating smiles if she would get there this time And yet some people ask Why in the name of common sense do women want to vote Mrs Waite has been fairly flaying alive the women of Colorado In a recent re-cent interview she said The conduct of the women voters in the recent election was disgraceful and the behavior of the women on Capitol hill both before and after this election elec-tion was perfectly scandalous and would have disgraced the Market street residents The very idea of their going about campaigning as they did was terrible in the extreme I was never so disgusted with anything in my life as at the result of equal suffrage suff-rage I favored it before it passed the legislature and I worked for it but they have simply gone and cut the throat of the party which gave them the right to vote and disgraced their womanhood The governor Mr Waite also opposes the enfranchisement of women now as I do The women voters vot-ers have shown that they are no more fit to use the ballot than children of 16 Why ithey last night acted like hoodlums blowing horns and showing that they knew nothing of the political politi-cal questions of the day She had five or six trunks of remarkable size And a tiny valise The trunks she appeared very highly to prize But not the valise The custom house officer sized up the pile And thought that the woman must travel in style But he didnt believe It was really worthwhile worth-while To touch the valise He opened the trunks to see what was there But passed the valise I Twas such a diminutive dainty affair Was the little valise But she was a dancer a star on the stage And the trunks held her notice page after page But the costumes she wore that had made her the rage Were in the valise I Home and Country I t There are one hundred women sugar planters in Louisiana but they cant vote C Its a solemn fact that Manager Daly had to post up a notice behind the screens in his theatre forbidding the gayety girls from smoking cigarettes I Its another solemn fact that the notice doesnt go Neither do the cigarettes a Wait till

Ashland Ash-land district Ky parades of schoolchildren school-children were among the numerous other features One of the banners carried car-ried by the tots read You Vote to Protect the Sheep Give us a Chance In a recent article by Henry La toouchere lie takes up tire subject of equality of sex and says Wihat surprises me considering the vast number of ladies who preach the equality of the sex in everything is that an effort is not made to secure equal rights in proposing To marry is more important to a woman than to have a vote Why then should proposing pro-posing be limited to one sex Men are naturally more bashful than women < and the result of the present onesided rule Is ithat many a man remains single sin-gle because < he cannot bring Ibis courage up to the proposing point and as a necessary consequence many a girl remains re-mains liuslDandless An association of girls each pledged to propose to any man whom she might deem a desirable i husband would be far more practical than

made by The Herald correspondent at Salina I take it is true there as it is also in other parts of the territory People are sorry Rawlins Raw-lins is defeatedyet they voted for Cannon It is just what might have beer expected ex-pected Hundreds of good men blinded by partisan prejudice and led by semi plausible stories stepped aside from the plain path of duty for a moment ballot The just long enough to cast a excitement is over the reaction has come they now they have had time of to calmly reflect over the results their indiscretion are asking themselves them-selves why they did it why they were not satisfied to let well enough alone why they proved recreant to the man them why who had done so much for the hate overcome they let partisan generous feelings that must have welled well-ed up in their hearts for Joe Rawlins It is well that it is so The reaction is bound to come A > year is not a longtime long-time but one can do a whole lot of thinking in twelve months Thepeople of Utah will have plenty of time and opportunity to discover what a mistake they have made friendship They will repay sincere with compound interest r f I |
