A dignified woman appeared at a poll ing place, during a recent election, ami made this request. "Rut the law provides that ymi can have only one ballot. You cannot vote both tickets," a clerk of the election board politch told her. " 1 hat makes no difference," she said. "I have friends on both the republican and democratic side, ami I won't vote unless I can vote i'or all of them." "Then it will be impossible tor you to vote," the dignified lady was politely informed by the clerk. "Well, if you won't do a little favor like that for me. I won't vote." declared the lady wrathtulh. t iivi'ng each member of the election board an in dividual glare designed to carry reproach, she left the polling booths without casting a ballot for her favorite candidates on either ticket. This is the kind of story they tell about women in the suffrage states, to belittle the feminine voters. Votes-for-women enthusiasts will have to put up with it good-naturedly. There is the other al ternative. They can devote themselves to acquiring political information so that they will not be caught napping, "Well, but the man should have explained that it was permissible to write in the name of the can didates of the other party," you say. Yes, he should have, but he was a man and one opposed to woman suffrage no doubt, so he did not Hop to explain. Charges that machine methods and steam rolling were apparent during the recent biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs are made in the current issue of the official organ of the clubwomen, The General Federation of Women's Clubs Magazine. "At the opening of the convention, the delegate were unsuspecting. The carefully constructed and smoothly operating machinery of the outgoing ad ministration was thinly veiled by a diversified pro gram, with appealing addresses and conferences in terspersed between the short business sessions," writes a delegate. "Manipulation in the conduct of the business ses sions of the convention became more and more ap parent as various obstacles confronted the machine, this necessitating more and more steam. The gen erative capacity of the boiler proved quite equal to all emergencies and withstood the pressure most wonderfully well. All minor obstacles were crushed or thrust aside, but when it came to announcing the election returns, which were withheld until the last possible moment before final adjournment, the real sentiment of the majority was expressed in the vote for president. The machine candidate was defeated by a vote in favor of the opponent of more than four to one. V.'Thus did the machine defeat its purpose. 'I he methods used in ait cndeavoi to control the entire proceedings : by changing time and place tor the conduct of business; by taking up important issues piece meal; by side-tracking discussions; by crowd ing addresses, conferences, luncheons and receptions upon the delegates anil b hurrying through the business sessions, in some instances calling only for affirmative vole and refusing to put the nega tive, and again refusing to recognize the personal privilege of those who had the temerity to vote "no" to explain that vote, made in response to a skillfully put appeal from the chair for an aflirma t jvc vote; all this, and more, niusi have so antagon izcd many of the delegaies that at least three-fourths of them finally decided that il was advisable to elect a new president who was in no way a part of the program that had been so carefully planned in ad vance by those in authority. "The manipulation of the machine to insure the election of an outgoing director as auditor proved more successful, but resulted in severe reproach. 'T wo names appeared on the printed ticket as can didates for auditor, both evidently picked by the machine. At the opening of the session on the morning of election day a telegram was read from one of the nominees, declining to run. Despite the fact that her name was printed on the ticket and vot ing was already in progress, quick action was taken accepting the resignation from the ticket. Delegates who arose to protest were not given a hearing. No opportunity was gicu to place any other name in nomination, thus leaving the chosen one a clear iieid." Several resolutions adopted by the General Fed eration show the trend of the organization's activi ties. It was resolved to undertake a country-wide survey of motion picture entertainments; that club women should form local censorship committees and that the Federation should co-operate with lilm manufacturers to secure a higher moral standard and a larger supply of appropriate films for children. The creation of a Woman's division of labor in the federal department ; opposition f o the literacy test in the federal immigration bili; study of the domes tic servant problem; endorsement of the principle of civil pensions; co-operation with boards of health, and endorsement of modern methods of prison man agement, including the establishment of a proba tion system in the United States courts, arc included in ihe number. The immigrant problem is the subject of the fol lowing resolution; "Whereas, There arc in this country more than 1.1,000.(100 persons of foreign birth, many of whom speak other languages, fal low un-American standards ot living and do not possess American citizenship. "Iiej.t resolved. That we make sp ial effort to he. of assistance to the foreign-born women, in bringing them into touch with American life; that we pledge ourselves to co-operate with the public schools to supply the needs of the foreign-born; and recom mend that special naturalization services be made a part of the Independence day celebration; and co operate with the labor department and employment offices to prevent the exploitation of the immigrant m industrv " Mrs. McVann and Daughter Are Going to Colorado for a Season Before Removing to Chicago for Good in mwffi'nil ititinr i -f ; j- , r. y-Wfi tip'.'

Another thing which will greatly improve con ditions is the carrying out and widening of the scope of the physical examination of cooks, helpers, waiters, and food handlers generally, initiated muiio months ago hy the New York city hoard of health. This will protect the public againsi a leal and serious present danger, as shown hy the fact that something like 15 per cent of all thoc examined hillierlo have shown signs of some form of communicable disease, ranging trom tuberculosis and typhoid to catarrh and skin diseases, f the employe must he in go,, (I physical condition to secure a position, this auto matieally places upon the emphoer a counter obli gation to provide conditions wlikli w ill protect and preserve this health and vigor required. And as fresh air. good light and spotless cleanliness are just as good for food as yhcy are for the cooks, the community would he douhlv the gainer. Incidentally, it may he remarked that one of our most disquieting discoveries ill the past decade or so has been that a go,,d many of those who re cover from typhoid tevcr still harbor, and continue to harbor for years, colonies of typhoid bacilli in their bodies, most commonly in the gall bladder or near the kidneys. If these typhoid carriers are care, less or uncleanly about their toilets, s,, that their hands become soiled and infected, auv lo.ul which they handle may convcv the disease. Something the same is true, though m a much more limited de gree, of the bacilli of diphtheria and piohablv infan tile paralysis.
