THE NEWS IS EDITED CLEAN THROUGH BY THE EDITOR AL THOUGH TWO PAGES ARE PRINTED IN 'CLEVELAND. Broth'er B. *Gr. .MoFall, editor of the 'Mdred 'Eagle had cause in his is sue of Jan. 30, to comment 'on The News—^andinsuch a-way that conivino- es us th a t Mr. MoFall does not appre eiate all the good things- .The News enjoys. Mr. MdPalli read our ad which ap peared on the front page -of The New tin its issue of Jan. 22, in- which we stated th a t The News “is a paper that is edited and not space filled up.” B rother McF-ail said in part; ' “T h e above sounded pretty good «n til we looked through th e paper and found pages 2, 3, 6, and 7 edited by th e Western, Newspaper Union, of Cleveland, O,, w ith also nearly eight colunans. of foreiga adv., for which the s-aidi W. N. U.., gets the pay.” When :Mr. McFall says th a t pages 2, 3, 6 and 7 are edited by the W. N, U.—^he is wrong, dead wrong. Pages 2 and 3 of The News are not only edited by us, but are print ed in our office as well. Pages 6 and 7, although no t printed in The News office, are as much edited by the edi to r as th e rest of th e paper. We dic tate just w h a t goes into those pages, tho same as if they were printed lin Whites-ville. •Of course, there are from three to four columns, of advertising on page 1 which we receive no pay for UflRBOTlUY. O u r viewpoint of the m a tter of the W. N. U. has been adjusted through experience. Perhaps, Brother McFall will be interested in looking through our glasses, for a moment. A littl© less than three years ago the editor came to W hitesville, fill ed to th e brim w ith ideas- on just how a new spaper should be managed, edited and; governed, iOur estim a tes and theories were based upon city journalistic educa tion. One of th e first things, we in tended to do was to give the W. N. U. the grand g.-b. which we did Jan. 1st, 1912. All through 1912 we print ed 8 'pages all! at home. We h a v e tried and always will try to Iceep our fin- ' g e r on the -pulse of our readers. We .Teamed! tw o things during 1912, to wit: T h a t our readers (in m ajority) m issed th e W. N. U. service; .and th a t printing 8 pages at home was altogether too expensive. iSo discarding w h atever personal prejudice the editor had against the 'W. N. U, we climbed back into the fold. W e don’t like the foreign ad vertising th a t appears on page 7. However, we buy o u r ready-print with the distinct understanding th a t the ads will be there, so we do not grum ble or kick. A bargain is a bargain. Because th e advertising does ap pear on page 7, we are enabled to buy the raw paper stock with fwo pages of The News already printed —with ju s t w h a t we want in the line of reading m a tter on those two pages —^for a small bit over what the raw paper would cost us alone, if it .is n o t' econ-omy on our part, we’d like to know what it is. Brother McFall is doing one thing th a t is more harmful to the newspa per business than ready-prints. H e is cutting down the necessities of a live newspaper, esrvice and size, in order to keep the price a t $1.00. The day of $1.00 weekly newspapers has passed . As long as Mr. :\lcFali sticks* to $1.00, he isnet only lose|ng mon ey that rightfully belongs to him, but ho is cheapening his newspaper and making it harder for his neighboring newspapers to ask $1.50, for their paper, which will soon he the estab lished rate of all weeklies. All v,’e ask of Brother McFaii is to keep his eyes en The News and con vince himself th a t it is S-pages of EDITED newspaper, We would also suggest that he watch us and see ho-w we make money out of the W. N. U.service—^the best of all newspa per service. at Churches is not as- great as m inis ters WO'U’ld like to see it does, net necessarily argue th o decay of re lig i o n . On the other han,d, evidences mul tiply th a t religion is really as potent an influence as ever it was, although formalism in religion may be upon the decline. An excellent illustra tion of this is afforded in the case of th e Pennsylvania State -College. Every student entering the college is. asked to fill -out a blank nam ing his religious preference and to state w h e ther he wishes to affiliate wFh any of the churches of the village instead of attending th e reqiih’ed dai ly chapel services- of the college. No persuasion is nsed aud every .student may o r may not fill out this blank. ‘Of the 2,121 regular students at the college ail hut eighty-eignt stat ed some religious affiliations. T h a t is*, only abont four per cent, of the .students at a representative American college wore not affiliated with some church. These 'Students may be taken as fairly representative of the avera.ge “educated classes.” They are above the average in in telligence and their families are also probably above th e average. It is doubtful if a t any tim e in- the Christa.an era a better showing could have been- made under like circum stances. Therefore, here is one- instance, and a s-ignificant one, showing th a t relig ion is not really on the wane among it'he educated. PLANS FOR FARMHOUSES The demand for better farmhouses has inspired the United iStates De partm e n t of Agriculture to put Some of its* specialists to work drawing plans for houses, a d apted to farm pur poses*. T h e first of a series of plans has appeared |n a drawing of w hat is des- cribed a s an inexpensive tenant house. It is* .a four-room building -and the perspective greatly resem b les some of the little houses of the bungalow type'which are becoming so numerous in the suburbs of American- cities.” The -statement is made th a t | t pro vides more usable space for th^ dai-- ly activities of th e family than many larger 'houses; th a t it is more conven lent for a small family and m-ore com fortable, healthful and d'elightful than many farmhouses costing tw ice as much. In making these plans''the architect of t'he Departm ent of Agriculture! will seek to provide structures th a t are reasonable in cost, th a t are conveni ent to the housiewife and comfortable for other members, of the family. The average farm e r—^the .average individl- nal in fact—is sorely deficient in architectural knowledge. Many of those who build 'houses, a ttem p t to do no more than copy after the prevail ing styles of farmhouses which have come down from remote antiquity. As for tenant houses, there are very few that are attractive or convenient in any particular, but the tenants are increasing |n num ber every year and the need of improved housing is pretty generally evident. T h e D e p artm ent of Agricniture .can help m a terially |n bringing about architectural betterm e n t in rural lo calities. Progressive farm ers believe in improvements and some, no doubt, are deterred from building .operations by their lack of information. The great m a jority of farm ers, there is reason to believe, will welcome as sistance in this line from the Federal government. RELIGION AND EDUCATION It has been frequently asserted of recent years that religion is losing its hold upon the people of the pres ent day, especially among the educa ted*. j It Is easy enough, to make an as sertion of -this- sort, but rather more difficult to prove it, says the Elmira Telegram. *Superfici^ observation is not proof, and the m ere fact that attendance “UNCLE JOE” CANNON BELCHES “Uncle Joe” Cannon—^that derelict of bad politics, well remembered as the Czar of the Hous-e of Representa tives’’—took occasion to express him self on politics, at Peoria, HI., last Thursday evening in a Lincoln eulogy. President Wilson’s breaking of prece dents—^his addresses in person to con gress, his abandonment of th e New Year’s Day W h ite House reception, and the work of the Democratic ad m inistration in general were pound ed on as strenouslj as th e iSpeaker’s desk used to he, when Uncle Joe was Speaker of the House at W ash ington. Big business men, the country over tell ns that- prosperity is here. But Uncle Joe—beca-usehe was. drowned in the deluge in 1912, is sure that the country is going to the dogs. 'One can< get a prqtty good, line-up on the narrowness of his mind by reading th e concluding sectiop of his speech: “iNow I am not an advance agent of compromise to bring- w a rring fac. tions together. I am just an oid-fash- ioned' -Republican- and a standpatter on prosperity. I am -old enough to •have seen th e American peoP;le tafe-e Jeshurun for a model and kick when they grew fa t w ith prosperity. I have several tim es seen m any followers of 'Lincoln turn away from the rock of th'Cir s a lvation land follow after new and apparently strange gods, neither feared nor worrshipped by their fath ers;. The foHowersi Of Lincoln, and oth ers, are n-ow kicking at th e Democrat policies which have been put into life to remove the fat of American- pros perity. It is. a good tim.e for them to quit kiiicking at each- other, shoul-der their responsibilities and turn to the rock of salvation.” In the above he sho-v/s th a t he does not like the Progressives, but he is* a t the sam e tim e urging the Pro gressives to return to the “rock of isalvation,” Uncle Joe is. a typical politician of the old school. He can see nothing good in anything but w h at is of his party and no one does anything rig-iht but who belongs to his faction. Poor Uncle Joe! His. day -of nseful- ness is now passed. But we couid not refrain from m aking this' memorandun of a man whose speech will be kept as a souvenir of oid t|m e s. HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES The patrons of Whitesvil-le, that is, the taxpayers and 'the parents of th e pupils who attend the school— are not aware of the many treats in .(Store- for them, if they w-ouid 'but take advantage of their opportunity. 'Most every Friday afternoon, the Woodrow Wilson Ldterary Society th a t is not only interesting but in- of the High School gives a program structive. ■The -Society is certa-iniy no imposi tion upon the man- after whom it i» named. -The members, who comprise the Whole high school room, conduct themselves during sessions,, in a man-= ner th a t v/ould m ake Congress itself -look to its laurel®. Las't Friday afternoon a de.hate was ■held. Not all people in this section understand the autricacies- in a de bate and possibilities that can be de veloped .along the line of speeking, quick thinking- and ability to answ e r by refutation. The d e b ate iwas conduct ed according to pariim e n ta ry law, and iwas a credit to both the affirm ative and negative. iSo The News feels safe in its con tention th a t W hitesville people miss much in not visiting our school and witnessing the development of onr pupils along needed line®..

This fact alone paid voiceless tribute to the im portance of votes for women as news. But more S'ignif- icant is it, that each heading refut ed a current objection. ■Heading on^: “200,000 CHICAGO WOMEN REGISTER DIKE VETER ANS.” Evidently when the antis charge th a t S3 per cent of the wo men are opposed to suffrage or in different, they are guessing -wrong. Heading two: “SOCIAL LEADERS AND jSERVANTS GO SIDE iBY SIDE TO THE POLLS.” -Clearly, woman suffrage makes for social democracy among women, and women do not find voting V'ith their cooks the ob stacle so often prophesied. •Heading three: “AGES ARE TOLD WITH LITTLE RELiUCTANOB.” Where i® that wise man who prophe sied that having to admit that she was :21 would keep any and every w:oman. from the polls? Heading four: “ALaiOST UNliEDBlM iQOUR/I®SY OF (MEN iPROVES i Aj(3iRBE2AiBLE SURPRISE.” T h e suf-j f^ g i s t s have always known th a t po-l liteness in men was» n o t a veneer thatj would rub off, but the autis have held otherwise. Chicago now proves th e suffragists^ right. •Heading five: “NUR S E RIES FOR fBiABIES.” The perennial wail as to •what will, become of the baby when mother votes is- now ans.wered. An- s-v/ered to the satisfaction of the ba-' by who loves to associate with its peers', and we hope to the satisfac tion of th e oldest inhabitants. SUFFRAGE NOTES —'City Cham berlain, Henry iBruere, was the guest of the Housewives’ League at the W omen’s industrial Exhibition at the 'Grand iCentxai Pal ace the other day. in his- speech .he said th a t th e co-operation of women with the government, in all idepart- ments is highly d-esirable. W hereup on the m anager of the exhibition, (Mrs. Nelson Henry, said that he 'was quite right, and th a t the way t© do it m o st -effectively was not to have the vote. —In< California women- co-operate with th e vote and in New York v/|th- oufc it. Bishop Moreland of 'San F ran cisco, in an open letter, said th a t the only Legislature elected since women voted was the best |n th e history of the state. Does 'Mrs. Henry consider Albany a s ithe place to find proof that voteleas women co-operate most ef fectively with the government for the uplift of the state? —'During the first six weeks of the year th e suffragists have been tak ing a “short-horn.” course at a peri patetic suffrage school th a t opened at Yonkers and then proceeded in turn to. Poughkeepsie, Albany, Troy, Syracuse, ‘Buffalo, .Rochester and Ithaca. Hundreds of workers sat meekly and ale.rtiy a t the feet of Mrs C a tt and learned how to carry the state. Hundreds of sympathizers dug deep into th e ir .pos-kets, a mass meeting tha+ taxed the capacity of halls seating from one 'to four thou sand, produced the coin or the pledge th a t assured- the $40,000 which was necessary to secure a check from an unknown friend for $10,000 more. This fund, which is but part of great er sum s available, means 'that scor es of paid -organizers will bring the question, home to the -hearts and the heads' e f the people( of this state, fror ,sim-up to long after sun-down, every working day until th e vote com eg off in 1'915. And if they lose ■then? Wei Mrs. Catt says they w ill go to Was'h- ington and sit on th e Step®, of the iCapitol until the Constitution is a- men-ded giving the vote to all ,women. —'In ,New York State men feast at political' banquets, while women throng th e galleries an,d s.k|p- -tbeir ■own lunch o r dinner, as the price of hearing the post-prandial speecbes. In equal suffrage states, women eat and vote on equal -terms- with men. T h e re ‘was a woman member of the lOhamber of Commerce in LiOs Angel es before 'California women voted, but she was never invited to their banquets until she became a voter. 'An'd so it is in Kans-as that- women are no longer obliged to tighten up their belts to .quell the pangs of -hun ger while they watch men eat. The Kan.sas. Day Republican Club gave its twenty-third annual diliner Just a couple of weeks ago and women .W'ere'n.'t huddled into the gaiie'ry, but shared both the food and the chance to a ir th e ir views with their fellow Republicans, Mrs-. Scott, the first wo man speaker, voiced the sentim ents of the wemen. “I think I am safe in saying there will be no women’s-party in Kansas. The average woman has long resented not having the privilege of working side by side w ith men. She is. not likely to surround herself ■with a new sex wall, just as th e ’ old on-e 'has. b e en broken down.” The bar barian woman- ate w hat was left af ter the men were served, and if there was n o t enough, she was the first suf. ferers. We have progressed since •then, but, all -the same, feasting men watched by galleries full of women is a relic -of barbarism. If woman suf frage tends to .do away with it, votes for women m u st be necessary step in civilization. —“W here gin bottles and whiskey flasks- stood before, the Twentieth Precinct yesterday had the coffee pot T h a t coff-ee marked the active advent of women into 'Chicago politics.

' Mrs. Johanna Foegely, o£ South Bend, ]hxd., recently passed through a most thril- Kug experience, which would be a severe strain upon any person and especially so for a woman, of 72 years of age. An Indi ana paper contains a long and interesting account of it, saying that the burglar would soon have ransacked the house had it not been for the coolness and presence o f mind of Mrs. Foegely, who cleverly diverted his attention, even while' the burglar kept a revolver at her head, commanding her to “keep quiet or I will send a bullet through you,” until he feared to remain longer. This is the Mrs. Foegely who was perma nently relieved of dangerous Kidney and Bladder disease in - - * of Dr. David Eenr and because she possessed this.goi and strength she was able to -withstand the shock of her recent experience. Here is the first statement Mrs. Foegely gave, in 1900 “For over three years I suffered from the moB painful diaease in my Kidneys and Bladder.
