OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —_——————————————————— ) PROVIDENCE TO THE RESCUE. All over this country there has been wailing and lamenting over the scarcity of coal, and over the fact that in many places there is no coal to be had—above ground. Coal barons have been rubbing their hands in _g]ee atithe prospect of exorbitant profits when the pinch of winter drives desperate householders to pay any price to prevent freezing to death. . Newspapers for months have-been d t of juggling and profiteering in coal. Facts were laid bare in the' hope that public' prosecutors would punish the offenders. Prospectors, jarred into the open by the exposures, ta]}(ed largely, vowed dire punishments, and did practically nothing, except to pinch an occasional “small fry.” 1t began to look as if millions would have to be gouged or 1t their families freeze, for there is coal in abundance under ground. i The situation was desperate. . Then a new element entered—one which recokns not of politicians, or craven prosecutors, or profiteering or graft. That element was Providence. Winter was pushed back. Summer was pushed forward. The warm rays of the sun enveloped the earth at a time when icy blasts should be blowing and furnace fires should be roaring. ‘ God, who created man, came to the rescue when man demonstrated his impotency to handle the situation. But God is not a politician. U e CONGRATULATIONS! We congratulate the women of this country. We doubly congratulate ourselves that we have such women. Never before in the history of the world has such a gréat evolution or revolution occurred without serious confusion or disturbances. We have just witnessed the operation of full woman’s suffrage for the first time. We have seen the women go through a presidential cam- 'paign in a quiet, dignified, business-like manner, free from all ostentation and with no evidence of uncertainty or confusion. ~ We have seen them accept the result of the election with a calm spirit of serenity which speaks volumes for our American system of majority rule. Throughout all of the campaign, we have heard of no questionable act committed or abetted by any woman of either arty. b They are as clean in politics as they are in their private lives. ¥ That, though, is no more than we expect of our glorious American women. But it is very gratifying to every element of decency in mankind. ’ full of detailed accounts / b i JOKES BY JURY. One of the most brutal premeditated murders ever com- mitted in this country occurred in Chicago. Carl Wanderer, a former army officer, shot to death his wife and their unborn child and a ‘“‘poor boob” who had been hired by the murderer to stage a fake holdup. o A jury of men, supposedly sane, fixed his punishment at twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Good behavior will re- duce it to fourteen years. ; Decent people the country over have been both amazed and disgusted at this verdict. It is becoming so increasingly difficult to mete out justice through the medium of men juries that courts and prosecutors are beginning to consider calling in the women for jury service. 1t is painfully evident that their sense of honor,-right' and justice is far superior to that of modern man. i A jury of women might lesitate at the death penalty, but they at least would have given this human monster a life sen- _tence in the penitentiary. The correction of these nauseating jokes by jury appear to be up to the womanhood of our country. R i S FORGET, AND ACT. The election is over and the majority has indicated its choice. < Now, as good citizens, let us forget the animosities of the campaign and devote every ounce of our energy to restoring the country to a basis of safe and steady prosperity. There is no longer room among us for the unscrupulous, profiteer and the profligate squanderer. The brains of the country must assert themselves, and common sense must replace the rule of vanity and waste. A country can only maintain its greatness when its rulers and its people are in harmonious accord. ] We, as citizens, have our duty to perform, as well as those whom we have selected to govern us. | Let us elevate our citizenship by a proper discharge of| that duty. » S .

(By Mail.)—*“This is the house that Jill built.” The Jills of England are compet- ing with the Jacks in many trades hitherto monopolized by men and an interesting adventure into the build- ing trade is now being made by a firm styled ““Women Builders,” which has its offices at 56 Victoria street.
