Stokes, a lawyer of Nashville, Tenn., should go down in history along with those of the nation’s most illustrious martyre. Stokes was shot to death in cowardly fashion by an opposing lawyer in the taxpayer suit which Stokes instituted at his own expense in an effort to recover some of the people’s money which was stolen by under the regime of Mayor Howse. Those who doubted Stokes’ sincerity in his fight for clean government of his city, can no longer doubt it, since the probating of his will revealed the fact that he bequeathed $10,000 to his legal associates to be used in carrying on the fight. Stokes had spent some $20,000 of his own money carrying on the battles which resulted in the ouster of Mayor Hilary, Howse and his associates. “in Qhe event the city hall case © undetermined when my death occurs. will, “I desire my executora to furnish my associates a sum of mo not $10,000, and this money shall be expended by them as they deem bes Further, he specified the bequest was to be used in “the cause of good government in Nashviile.” In order to protect his family, Stokes took out life and accident insur- ance policies totaling $160,000, Some of the companies canceled the policies he carried because of the extreme danger he was in of violent “death. Yet this man did not budge an inch from his purpose until the sudden death for which he had prepared cut him off and showed the people what his efforts Wad meant to them. 3 Would that there were more lawyers like Harry~S. Stokes, fighting for the cause of the people without recompense and despite the threats of assassination. grafters says the to exceed Some Resemblance ONCE upon a time we witnessed a “battle royal” in which five buck negroes were penned In a 12-foot ring with instructions to hit the most conven- ient head as often and as vigorously as possible, the purse going to the last man on his feet. We were particularly impressed by the tactics of one of the ebony gladi- ators, who stuck scrupulously to the outer edge of the ring, making an occa- sional side swipe at an opponent's noggin, until three were down and out and the fourth contestant practically so. Then the fifth stepped blithely to the fore and administered the coup de grace, copping the prize, with delightful aplomb. Noting the conspicuous complacency with which London records the tre- mendous losses to the Germans and French alike at Verdun, we are prone to wonder if John Bull was an “also present” at that darky fracas. t PoP ee te tase eee Leer APP eee Sete Chee Teste ee tet iss Ea _SSS=—————— Next Week “PIDGIN ISLAND” By Harel4 MeGrath 2018 GOO O00 IOC OOOE KIO She’s Sure After Them HAT judiciary committee of the house might as well come down out of the tree; the suffragisis have got bead on it, all right. Gilson Gardner tells us that, instead of demanding things, the Congres- sional Union for Women Suffrage has adopted umpaign of setne Members of the committee being swamped with beautiful boutonnieres, birthday messages and other delicate, feminine attentions. Gosh! fellows, you'd better come down and report on that Anthony amendment, for the women have evidently drawn their arrow clear to its barb. We've been studying woman for years and are not bragging that we understand her to the extent of over 7 per cent, but one thing seems to be pretty clear—that she first demands and, failing to get, resorts to just what Correspondent Gardner calls “a campaign of sweetness.” And, oh! how often, often we've seen it work! In these times, when woman feels full of rights, she prefers to get what she wants by demanding, but she has lost no tittle of confidence in the old, old policy of sweet cajolery thr. which she got a sufficient part of that apple into Adam. And the house judiciary fellows can bet their hats that it is still fatal in a majority of cases. bi An Unpleasant Subject CRUE LTY is always revolting. That fuse to discuss it And cruelty per But when it can be reckoned as a loss to any community in dollars and cents, cruelty becomes a suitable topic of conversation. Thus the “over crop- ped” chicken suddenly appears as an object of deserved commiseration. “Over cropped” does not mean much to the average housewife, but to the fowl it means torture—by thirst and by a diet of hot peppér, gravel, grit and oyster shells mixed with a little bran. This stuff added 30,000,000 pounds to the weight of the fowls sold in New York last year, and for it New York consumers paid $7,000,000, according to testimony brought out in an inquiry conducted by John J. Dillon, commissioner of foods and mar- kets. Evidently, this very unpleasant theme is one with which every house- keeper should be conversant. A gravel dict the digestion of a chicken, the meat is poisoned, and it is then a menace to the lives of the consumers, New York's health department and its commissioner of foods and mar- kets have power to revoke the licenses of dealers who “overcrop” chickens, on the ground that it is a practice detrimental to public welfare. Evéry community should have a law of this kind; and the clubwomen of any town should be able to get such an ordinance made, very easily and quickly, on grounds of humanity, economy and health protection. one reason why nice people re- oO ist stops YOO OC OC E ROC MOT Oe CIO) ROC CSR “NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? ’orssrcc" 4 wea RARKRARRARRAR MMO MM RRA A RMA OLE spirited cob.
