You want to vote but they wont

You apply for a job somewhere
How many children have you s the

Where Babies Swim
I spend my winters in Samoa said
a traveler It is always summer
there There the babies swim Can
you imagine a quainter a more charm
ing sight than a host of babies none
over two years old laughing and
crowing and swimming like fish In
pools of clear sea water You will see
this sight in Samoa Samoan women
believe sea baths benefit babies and
in that equable climate they bathe their
little ones daily the year around The
youngsters soon learn to swim They
can swim before they can walk And
to see these pretty brown babies swim
ming in the sea is well worth a 5000
mile trip to Samoa Philadelphia

HAS VIEWS OF HIS OWN
Senator Patterson and Ilia Santo Do
mlntfo Speech
The speech recently made In the sen
ate by the junior member from Colo
rado Thomas M Patterson in support
of he policies of President Roosevelt
created something of a sensation owing
to the fact that Senator Patterson has
been a Democrat all his life except for
a short time during which he acted
with the Peoples party The senator
disagrees with the president on the
subject of the Philippines and the

statehood bill now before congress but
on most other questions supports him
and so stated in this speech lie was
flayed by his party associates after
ward for his course in not agreeing to
the caucus action of the Democrats on
the Santo Domingo treaty and for in
troducing a resolution remonstiating
ngalnst foreign treaties being made the
subject of action by senators in cau
cus The agitation created in the sen
ate was something like that which oc
curred when the senator was a y6mig
lawyer defending a man iiamed Mc
Laughlin who was charged with mur
der The testimony of Mrs McCarthy
of Vinegar Hill was damaging to Mc
Laughlin and on cross examination
Patterson made her contradict herself
repeatedly At last he asked a question
Intended to totally discredit her as a
witness
MIsther Patterson she said very
deliberately yez are simply calculated
to create confusion
Senator Patterson was born in 1S40
In County Carlow Ireland but has
lived In America since childhood He
worked in a printing office and also as
a watchmaker and jeweler studied at
De Pauw university and Wabash col
