vr !Slgfiiif'(S!:': MERELY COMMENT When our little squads of dive-raiding sleuths can't find anything else to do, they stage exciting duels among themselves for a pastime. About the best-thing an innocent pedestrian can do when he' sees a squad of detectives coming is to duck into the nearest doorway. So Carranza is the man of the hour in Mexico. That's our idea of nothing to be. It is pretty hard telling just how long your hour is going to last. And Carranza plans peace. More power to him, but the pesky Mexi can dove of peace has had a bum bat ting eye for the past month of Sun days. Bryan says he doesn't want any political rights that he is not willing to grant his wife. That listens like Wm. J. Let's see, Bryan ran for president three times and got it in the neck on every occasion. Yet he is still up in the doings of the land. It would seem that a man has got to be SOME MAN to stick through all that. Huerta will stand up and sing, "I don't know where I'm goin' (boom boom) , but I'm on my way." It is rather mean to stick that "boom-boom" in there considering the fact that Huerta's life, lately, has been just one boom after another. First, a presidential boom that busted, and then a continual cannon boom. The weather man kidded us for a long time with mere threatens. Did you notice how he finally came through yesterday? If you didn't you must have been out of the city! The Federal League is doing very nicely, thank you! Especially in the courts. Not to mention the interesting baseball race itself. That storm yesterday afternoon caved in a portion of Michigan ave nue at Congress street. Some day the whole blame loop is going to go down into the basement. Lightning struck the flag pole at the Marine Hospital out north and splintered the blame staff all to smitherines. Now we ought to make the bloom in' lightning salute the U. S. flag. o o TO BE OR NOT TO BE A FULL SIZED VOTER IS QUESTION When a woman is a voter and when she is not a voter seems to be the one big question around Chicago these days. If a little scrap started recently over the county board puz zle is not settled shortly it may lead to an appeal to the courts to straight en out the election machinery once more. Former Probate Judge Charles S. Cutting rendered an opinion that wo men could not vote for county com missioners but could hold the office. Suffrage leaders and others interest ed in the cause are confident that County Judge Owens will ignore all such opinions and rule that women may vote for county board members. The women are going to be a big fac tor in Chicago's politics in the future and the question should be settled shortly. mxE B'GOLLY MHNY FELLERS GET LEFT BECRUSE DEY DON'T DO RIGHT'! ) m iBna-r- m mtim&a&mM .. .t.,(W .ifttfiiifr ;tota,aifr3&7..Mmiri
