Sometimes, when we read the mellifluous indorsement of the can- didate, we cannot help an uneasy .feeling that the indorser wrote with i both eyes on the unabridged diction ary. -to: Many of the vexing problems of national affairs will be settled in the small towns this year by men who will be busy at it they will not have time to help their wives keep board- i ers. :o: j A Cuban delegate in the Pan-Am- t-rican congress wants Canada to be Icome a member of the Pan-American I Union.

And besides, what are rugs and floors for? :o: The League of Nations Non-partisan association the other day held its annual meeting in New York, and a pleasant time was had by our eminent internationalists in the fam iliar pastime of abusing their own country. :o: Now it turns out that a powerful foreign oil corporation controls a large percentage of the output from the naval reserves, with an effort congress to pry this loose. But the general impression has been that the navy authorities controlled this. It seems not so. :o: GIVE US KORE WOMEN IN OFFICE ! The names of 126 women are en rolled on the rosters of thirty-five state legislatures in 1928. according to a survey just completed by the National League of Women Voters. This is a gain of two over the 1927 record. There are eighty-six Republicans, thirty-four Democrats; non-partisan 1; independent. 1; no party desig nation 4. In Connecticut one member of the senate and fourteen members of the lower house are women. There are seven women in the Maine legislature, three in the upper and four in the lower house; Massa chusetts has three; New Hampshire fourteen, and Vermont eight. Illin ois and Ohio lead with six and eleven respectively. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have seven and six women in each of its legislatures and four Re publicans. New York has one member, Mis souri also has one member, Miss Em ma R. Knell of Carthage. California has two members. The state election in November, 1927, resulted in few changes. Two new women replaced three other feminine members in Mississippi; the number in New Jersey decreased from nine to seven; and two new women were elected in Virginia, bringing the total in the Old Domin ion to four. Last month Mrs. E. Howard Harp er was appointed a member of the West Virginia legislature to succeed her husband. Mrs. Harper is th first Negro woman member of any legislature in the country. ( IaSsiI Same Trice fir over 35 yems USE LESS THAN OF HIGHER PRICED BRANDS Why Pay ) War Prices? THE GOVERNMENT USED I MILLIONS OF POUNDS J WITHOUT WAEEANT A new drive is to be made through out the country against pro'iibition violators. It is to be a ne- ki::d of drive. The search warrant v ill be dispensed with entirely wii-n cir cumstances require ; v. ift ;:iid sudden action. This is the announcement of Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Lowman. It is the first ukase since the early days ef his commis sionership when his indiscreet utter ances bremght a sharp reprimand from his superior, Mr. Mellon. Authority for such procedure, Mr. Lowman asserts, is found in the In ternal Revene Law. Under that law a night club was recently raided in New York City, the fixtures were confiscated, and the agents, we are told, were acting within their rights. What about the Constitution? To be specific, the fourth amendment? It reads: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against un reasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and parti cularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. When, where, by whom or by what was this amendment repealeel? By the Internal Revenue law? By any court record? By Mr. Lowman? Was It repealed by the raid of a New York night club? Mr. Lowman will be well advised to inform himself as to this point before be launches his lawless drive. : :o: BALLAD OF PENNSYLVANIA GOAL It was testified in a hearing on the Hawes Cooper bill to prohibit shipment of prisnn-made poods across state lines that 500 inmates in the Pennsylvania prison have nothing to do but play marbles. They do not wield the weighty sledge in Pennsylvania's goal; to work on boots or fashion suits would be of no avail; they do their stint with rounded flint and make the marbles sail. Five hundred strong they march along, in every hand a taw; with chinies white and agats bright they knuckle to the law, while glassies' clink and steeiies' plink rob prison of its awe. And all men play tne game tney love, and no man ever weeps; some only play the game forcatcl, on to is wiley ways, and drop fun, some others play for keeps; none are so dumb they cunny-thumb. Mark what the felon reaps! :o: Congressman Howard, of third dis trict picked Vice President Dawes as a sure winner for the republican publican ticket of course. 3i& Winter's Colds and Chills Throw Heavy Burdens on the Kidneys. COLDS put extra burdens on our kidneys. When the kidneys slow up, impurities remain in the blood and are apt to make one tired and achy with headaches, dizziness and often nagging backache. A common warning is scanty or burning secretions. Doan's Pills, a stimulant diuretic, increase the secretion of the kidneys and aid in the elimination of waste impurities.

I our State -Department issues highly j moral tracts or. the subject. It has bee-n done too frequently in the case of Russia, whose present government disclaims responsibility for the debts of the Czars. In the Caribbean not content with preaching morality, we enforce it. When a banana republic defaults its obligation we send troops, colli c tors of customs, high commis sioners and other financial experts to get the money. This highly moral attitude, though it causes distress among the wicked, is hailed with delight by certain Britishers who announce we have a skeleton in our own closet. These British are holders of repud iated paper of ten Southern states in an estimated amount, principal and interest of $000,000,000. and are pressing us for payment. Their pro position is that the amount be tie ducted from the British debt. In urging that the government j pay up, the Chicago Tribune reccg 'nizes the moral vuliditv of th" r!;.i;'i. thcurh fe th: 1. -!!! : J ( :' ::t rc'-.vhig e ul- e-D !:;:'!' y. tiori ). f a :-- p pet b;. ... posit ion. !-. -v.-, , eejuivocate.

SI DOUBTS THE TOAD TAIE The story of the horned toad found in a cornerstone where it was sup posed to have lived without meat or drink for thirty-one years, was submitted to Prof. It. II. Wolcott. prefessor of zoology at the University 'of Nebraska. Doctor Wolcott expessed skepticism tmged with doubt of the correctness of the story, especially as the scene of the incident was 'transferred from its first location in jibe list, of Texas, with the toad trans- .' rr d into a frog. ; Th-.!- s no such thing as a i ' ;-!--d froir." said Doctor Wolcott ! 'i; vi.l-ntlv com" of th1 writers , " !--: ree'.mze any difference be- i- ' .v. :s and fross. As to the ; !...r;: d t; a l. it does not usually i !: ':.!: more than once in a month and ! :.!! go many inenths without e ither ji.iod or water without Insury. I doubt if it could live thrity-one years, but it is piobable that all the facts of the story have not been told. It Is pos.-ibl" for considerable moisture to seep in between the blocks of Mme masonry, and it is also quite possible that the toad found a lodgement in the wall at a much later period than as-umed."
