SOLID FOR SUFFRAGE
The election returns show that
Nevada as well as Montana gave
the ballot to women. The small
est state In the Union, In popula
tion, makes the eleventh to put the
sexes on equal terms in respect to
the franchise.
The west beyond the prairie is
almost solid lor 'woman suffrage
now. California, Oregon and
Washington make a line of suf
frage states facing the Pacific.
Idaho, Montana, Nevada. Utah,
Colorado, 'Wyoming and Arizona
are in' the mountain region. Kan
sas, a state of plains and prairies,
is the one outpost east of the
Rockies.
Is all this due wholly to the
rroverbial gallantry of the west
or Is it, in part, the result of
consciousness that in nearly every
one of these states the male sex
is in so strong a majority that the
men can easily outvote the women
if a division ever comes along lines
which would range them in an
tagonistic forces at the polls?
THE LAW OF FLIRTING
Throe rahs for the Arkansas
supreme court! ' On the ap
peal of one Robert Emile Roth,
late master of a school in craw
ford county of that commonwealth,
its justices have given their high
authority to the proposition that
a teacher cannot be deprived of
his job and his salary far no worse
a dereliction of contractual obliga
tions than failurei to prevent boys
and girls from flirting.
It appears that some of the
pupils of Mr. Roth, being ot' ap
propriate ages and sexes, did flirt;
that the board of education became
apprised of the fact and directed
Mr. Roth to repress the practice;
that he made little °r no effort to
comply that the board could notice
and that it consequently presented
him with his unconditional re
lease. unaccompanied by seveeral
months' salary specified in the
contract and still unaccrued. The
high court holds that he gets the
money, that the' reason alleged for
his dismissal is totally inadequate
and that, broadly speaking, Ar
kansas teachers do not have to
visit their displeasures or. flirts or
flirting.
Whether these truly learned
judges . deemed flirting reprehensi
blt but inevitable or whether they
looked upon it as delectable and
commendabl the report does not
make clear. From this d'stance it
seems more than likely the ju
dicial view was that a teacher's
function is to teach and that no
time would be left him in which
to perform it if he undertook to
suppress flirtation among the flir
tatious. If this is the case, there
is satisfaction in the thought that
somewhere there is something
which somebody puts past the
proper province of the schools.
Turkey now has every oppor
tunity to announce a goiiig-out-of
business sale of rugs and cigar
ettes.
Will not T R. exnlain that sav
ing about "teachers having itch
ing ears" as to whether it refers
to these who came home in the
steerage?
Some of these naval engage
ments are none too fuiij covered
even if they do take place a long,
long way from the censor's office.
California's vote against prize
fighting will hardly be explained
on the ground that It did not know
what it was voting about.

METHUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his let>ers as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty of time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time but of killing time.
But we don't live so long nowadays and most of us have
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty years. We
have found that the time saved and the labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is tiiv or three times faster than pen writing, it i.;
easier and less fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
