(Continued from yesterday.)
The Republicans are still trying to
find out just how many causes con
tributed to Hughes' defeat. Some of
them blame the women, others blame
their leaders, and some say’ he killed
| himself, but there is one thing sure
; and that is they were greatly sur
j prised. It is probably very sure that
! had they not overlooked the West as
safely Republican we would have a
change u£ administration on next
March. The Democrats have about
j quit talking about the campaign and
1 have not heard of any one who is
no’ noxv in office trying to get one.
1 suppose they had rather stay on the
outside during prosperous times and
depend upon a "leak" or a spout
bringing something their way. Roth
Democrats and Republicans take tho
last election very good-naturedly, and
all seem to be satisfied. 13y the time
the next four years go round the old
litu i s will In out of commission en

tirely. The women are actually tak
ing the country and all the Jobs, and
they are getting very bossy about it ,
too. No politician dares trample on j
! their toes in this state. The suf
| frngettes say to the men "see us first"
| and unless they do, heads roll in the
i dust.
Dancing goes on with its multifa
rious glides, st> ps and wiggles. The
"Two-Two", “New International" one
step and three step, "The walk-Waloe"
"The Foxtrot” “The Coon-Shuffle”
j "The Bear-Hug-Walk” and "The Dog"
I seem to be more lu vogue than any
j of the numerous other dances. It
! takes very little space for a couple
I to dance in and the old marathon j
dizzy whirl around the circle seems j
I to be no more.
Well, we have prohibition here un- j
der the persuasive awe of the big 1
stick aiid the axe that lay at the root j

from the robed dignitary of the wool- j
sack, no balance s suspended from j
shapely hand of the dimpled goddess
of justice, no constitutional guaran
tees, and no precedents establishing
the law of the land have anything to
do with the helmeted knights that
march against the temple of bacchus.
When a place has had the badge of

LENTEN SEASON
I Is Now on
have You Received
Our
Lenten Fish Specialties Booklet
If Not Get One
It is full of valuable, saving and seasonable suggestions.
Come and take a look at our fish display
lpolets Stores
gathers in front of these raided places,
but they just laugh and some of them
express regrets that they had not
found out that booze was being sold
there before the police got the infor
mation. Some of the raided ones get
lawers and make a big fuss, down in
the temple of Justice, but that is
about all the satisfaction they get.
They usually need a doctor and a
free-lunch ticket when the raid is1
over. They have no real friends and
get no sympathy. The sheltering arm
of protection has left them and no
friendly public opinion stands guard
over their traffic. When a man gets
into the artificial sunshine vocution I
here, had luck seems to follow him
like a bad habit or an evil associate, j
While these stalwarts are dogging the
tracks of old Mi. Intoxicating i^iquor
with the unrelenting zeal of crusaders,
there exists here cafes and public
dance halls, wide-open and inviting,
where the traffic in vice Is so bold
and brazen that it would have caused
Nome, In her wayward days, to pull
her white mantle about her and bow
her head In shame. But, as you know
these Coast people have always felt
that they could put on one garmet and
appear well dressed.
We are having beautiful weather
ar.d I wish that l could’ sent you a few
acres of it. It would be enjoyed, I am
sure, up in the empire of frost.
Remember me kindly to my friends
upthere, if 1 have any, and if not, wish
every one well for me anyway; it will
not cost me anything.
Very truly yours,
JOEL, TERRELL.
