Politicians Are Wondering How Long Before Feminine Sex Rules Nation. (Continued from Page 1) go to Washington and take up the reins of government?" Both of the woman Governors are mothers. One is the wife and the other the widow of a former Governor of the States which they have been elected to govern. Both are well equipped to carry on the duties required of them. They are Mrs. Miriam "Ma" Ferguson, Governor elect of Texas, and Mrs. Nettie Taylor Ross, of Wyoming. On to Washington! and people are wondering just how long it will be before a woman will sit in the White House. When will the nation elect a woman as President of these United States? When will a woman, by popular acclaim, be honored by this office? People are wondering. In the peculiar fitness of things political in this country, it is right that a woman should be elected to Governorship of Wyoming. This State gave women suffrage in 187 0 when women first voted there fifty-four years ago. Since that time suffrage, woman suffrage, has been taken more or less as a matter of course. There was little or no opposition to the nomination of a woman candidate for Gubernatorial honors in that State, and Mrs. Ross had only her opposing AUDITORIUM Mats. Wednesday and Saturday William A.

A Gorgeous Japanese Offering THE TEKEWA Nippon's Superlative Equilibrists candidate to fight in the recent campaign. In Texas_ "Ma" Ferguson had a different sort of fight on her hands. The citizenry of that sovereign State were in general opposed to woman's suffrage. It was necessary to instill the thought, "A woman is equal to a man politically," in the minds of Texans before her candidacy would be taken seriously. When Mrs. Ferguson came out and placed her name before the people of the State and told them just where she stood, they began to listen. Her race for governor was taken less as a jest then, and more as a reality. Her enemies bitterly assailed her throughout the whole campaign. In Wyoming, Mrs. Ross faced no such obstacles. In Wyoming women have held minor jobs in the State's political offices ever since they first began voting. In Texas there have been very few women in the political limelight ever. They have both been elected to the governorship of their respective States, and now, for the first time in the history of this democracy, more than 5,000,000 people will be ruled by a woman. Texas claims a population of 5,000,000. Wyoming boasts a population of 200,000. Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, nee Wallace, was born in Bell County, her parents being of Tennessee mountaineer stock. Her early life was the ordinary plantation routine. She attended the local rural school, helped about the home and in emergencies worked in the fields. Later she went to Baylor University which was situated a few miles from the Wallace homestead. As a student she was known for her thoroughness and accuracy rather than for brilliance To the neighbors, Miriam Wallace was "a good girl," and that told the whole story. In 1899 she married James E. Ferguson, farmer, later banker, and ranchman. They have two daughters, the younger now being her mother's secretary. The late Governor Ross of Wyoming landed in the town of Cheyenne in 1901. He opened a law office there and it was in the West that he met and married his wife. She was born in St. Joseph, Mo., "about forty years ago." She married the late Governor Ross in Omaha in 1902. She has three sons. Two of them are in the University of Wyoming and the youngest is in public school. Both women are "home bodies," but they have always watched their husbands' careers with interest and intelligence. Neither will go into the State House with no understanding of their duties.Both have the mental equipment to carry the offices to which they have been elected with honor and capable guiding hands. . It is interesting to realize that neither woman carried on their campaign with their husbands' records as a reference. ^iThey both stood firmly on their own feet and outlined clearly and decisively, their platforms. Mrs. Ross made no personally ac tive campaign. Her silence was as deep as her mourning for her husband. Her managers did the work. Mrs. Ferguson differs in this respect. Although much of her campaigning was done by her husband, she her self took the stump on several oc casions and told the voters just where she stood. It is understood that both women will devote most of their efforts to the problems of education during their terms as the leaders of the two States.

While there is some pillaging in isolated sections most of the land owners sell the privilege. The reports are that there is an abundance of holly berries this season and enough likely to meet the demand. Some years the berries are very scarce and berries have to be manufactured out of wax or a similar substance. The holly industry started in the "lower end" about forty years ago and at that time the woods, especially the low land, teemed with beautiful holly and abundance of berries. The holly was then broken in bunches and all the berries left on the stems and packed in boxes and shipped to the northern markets and in price-and quantity perhaps reached its highest point in value twenty-five years ago. Since then the holly has been diminishing by reason of the activity of the holly dealers and the cutting of vast acreage of timber until today there is but little holly growing and this only in certain localities and some families haul holly many miles from swamps to their homes. Since the holly began to get scarce the business of making it into wreathes was introduced by the local dealers and this is now the principal way it is sold ,and it is far more profitable and affords whole families an opportunity to earn something during the short season. When it was sold in boxes men only profited by the industry. jUTHERVILLE CROSSING, CENTRAL) PLACE OP EXECUTION IN STATE FOR PENNSYLVANIA R. R.

Served Two Terms In House Of Delegates And When But Twenty-Eight Was Elected State Senator. (Continued from Page 1) Company. Its attitude seems to be that of the head of another power-fu railroad which has become a classic "the people be d-------d." It is no selfish attitude on the part of the people at Lutherville; it is not for their special protection they ask it, for they know how unreliable the present system is and do not trust it, but it is for the thousands of unsuspecting motorists who use Seminary avenue who feel that they can depend on the wig-wag and bells', and who do not know that the Railroad officials put the whole system out of commission without notice to the traveler whenever they care to do so, that they are interested. The people cannot understand the attitude of the Railroad; its officers must know of the great traffic crossing their tracks; how on Sunday afternoons and holidays there is a regular procession sometimes as many as one a minute. Is there any other place in Maryland on their lines where the traffic is anything like as large that is not protected by gates and watchmen? Why can't the Company be reasonably decent. What is the maintenance of an additional watchman and gates to the Pennsylvania Railroad? If the killings at this crossing continue it will find verdicts in damage cases for more expensive than the gates and watchman, so why not be reasonablee and do the right thing and do it at once. GRANITE MAN DEAD. Death claimed James W. Albright at his home in Granite. He is survived by his widov*, Mrs. Mary E. Albright. (Continued from Page 1) Senator. He was an active and prominent member of the bar and for a number of years was counsel to the County Commissioners and also to the County Board of Education. He was a member of Towson Lodge of Elks and also of the Catholic Church of the Immaculate at Towson, where funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock this (Saturday) morning. Mr. Lindsay studied law in the office of the late Judge N. Charles Burke, and a warm friendship existed between them. He took an active interest in his home town and gave support to movements to promote its welfare. A man of energy and o fattractive personality, he soon won a high rank in his profession, and was regarded as an able and successful trial lawyer. Mr. Lindsay was a son of the late Anthony Lindsay, and Mrs. James E. Kelley, of Towson, is his sister. His death was announced in the Circuit Court at Towson on Wednesday by W. Gill Smith. Chief Judge T. Scott Offutt and Associate Judge Frank I. Duncan both expressed regrets on behalf of the Court and the following committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions and to arrange for a memorial service to be held in the Courtroom at some later date: W. Gill Smith, Elmer J. Cook, William P. Cole, Jr., C. Gus Gfason and Laban Sparks. JOHN E. ANDERSON SUCCUMBS. Death claimed John E. Anderson, aged 76 years, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary R. Schmidt, Eccleston. Burial was in Mount Olive Cemetery. Going down among publicans and sinners to find God is not generally done—it is the way, however, of Rev. Captain Peter Graham in William A. Brady's production of "Simon Called Peter," Robert Keable's famous novel, the dramatization of which has been made by Jules Eck-ert Goodman and Edward Knoblock, two of America's most adept writers for the theatre. "Simon Called Peter" will have an engagement at the Auditorium, week starting Monday, December 1; matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Peter is an English curate who began to stir under the narcotic effect of his high church life when the World War broke out. His fiance, Hilda, is a straight-laced English girl, the daughter of a wealthy vestry man. She had hopes that Peter would one day be a bishop and she didn't want him to jeopardize his chances by going to France. Secret influences kept Peter back until the war was well on its way into the second year and life behind the lines was pretty much of a routine in which gay night life predominated. "Don't you worry, padre," the dying man said, "reckon I won't shirk," and asked for a cigarette. Then Peter found that the men among whom he was working wanted cigarettes rather than his God. Then he finds Julie, a nurse from South Africa, and how she helps him into a greater understanding of his life, his God and his work is the theme of this absorbing play. cal play, "The Girl in the Spotlight," with which Mr. Skelley was a stellar comedian. He enjoyed a similar position with "Fiddlers Three," "The Night Boat," and "Mary Jane McKay." Mr. Skelley is credited with being the best extemporaneous comedian on the stage and it is claimed that he can dance any dance conceivable. His present vehicle is a comedy skit with music, called "The Mutual Man." The story is a new development and a new handling of mistaken identity and it is as bright as the brass aboard ship.
