Apparently, no big interest hss
lKt.i mHiiif»*Hte<l in next Tuesday's
municipal primary, although the en-
rollrnent as tabulatcnl by the ward
corrrnittees is the largest in the city's
history. Municipal elections usually
are marked by strife and bitterness.
Su.'h a condition may now exist, but
tt is not as evident as in some of the
city's previous campaigns. Let us
hope that it will npt be.
As we have before stated on the
eve of such occasions, The Chronicle
is a candidate for no office and has
andidate in the field for any of-

ing the public welfare.
We have never been afraid of the
ballot in the women’s hands. We are
not afraid to trnst them to line up
for those things that are noble and
worth-while. We have no patience,
and little respect, for the fellow who
is continually complaining against
woman’s right to suffrage and who
boasts “that his wife shan’t vote.”
She will never make as big a mess of
the job as the Ynen have in the past.
Theodore Roosevelt once said, “That
the good' woman la the beat of'all
good citisens.” The foundation of
law enforcement, aa of law, is public
opinion. In the formation of right
public opinion woman, with the bal
lot in her hand, will be a factor of
ever increasing consequence. She can
thus do bar duty without detracting
in the Isast frem her dignity, that
charm, that gentleness and fine wom
anliness which is her gracious heri
tage.
In the approaching election next
Tuesday, and in all others that are to
follow, whether municipal, county or
state, our women are expected to do
their duty at the polls. Let their in
fluence and power be felt.

FACTORS OF PERSONALITY
We recently read an article in The
American Magasine from Dr. Werrett
Charters of the Bureau of Research
of the University of Pittsburgh, un
der the caption, “Personality—Its 20
Factors and How You Can Develop
Them.” A study of these twenty
traits will prove very enlightening
and beneficial and will help remedy
life’s defects and shortcomings. .
Here is tjie list as given by Dr.
Charters in his article:
1. Ambition: Have you the will to
improve yourself? Tbia means raal
will; not merely a vague, intermittent
desire. If this article points out cer-
no
ficc. We do not pretend to advise
the people how to vote. That is your
business, and we have not, and will
not undertake to discriminate through
our columns between any of the Can
dida - es. As to whether we have
manifested a fair attitude towards
office-holders and office seekers i
the past, either in city, county
or state, we are perfectly wilting for
the public to decide. We take to our
selves the inalienable right of voting
for whom we please and to every one
else we accord the same right and
privilege.
But we do urge all to vote. Only
in this way may an expresakm of
the people be obtained. 1710 officials
elected as mayor and aldermen to
preside over the City's destinies for
the next two years, should be men of
unquestionable character, men of
good business judgement and experi
ence. men brave and intelligent
enough to discharge their duties fear
lessly and impartially, men who will
stand for safe, clean and efficient
government. These qualifications
should be in mind as we inarch to
the polls and without bias or preju
dice, we <sh4u4L yqte for the best men.
Men who are competent should be put
at the head of our city government
and the obligation is upon pa to face
the issue in this light and realisation.
Clinton is bigger than 'fttiy one man or
set of men—it is well that this be
remembered.
The ballot is the best possession of
a free people. It is the only weapon
by means of which the people can
make their country or community
safe for democracy. But it is inef
fective, absolutely worthless if per
mitted to go to the junk pile like any
other scrap of paper. Like every
thing else we have, it must be used
constantly and intelligently or become
worthless. Therefore, if you possess
the right to vote, whether you be
man or woman, go to the polls and
exercise that right and privilege and
duty.

energetic steps to remefy them?
2. Induatmusness: Have you the

2. Industriousness

Examine yourself to see whether you

hold yourself to the faithful per:

8. Persistence and Patience: Look
back over the various plans you have
made during the past year; enumer
ate all you can remember, and see
how many of them you have actually
put through.

THE GREAT DERBY.
Sending photographs by wire is at
last perfectly successful. This will
mean more to the education of this
earth than we can realize now. Mere
ly gratifying curiosity or capturing
criminals by telephotography on this
little planet isn't'the important thing.
WOMEN IN POLITICS
That our women have made good in
poetics, few will deny. Many of them
did not want the ballot, yet it has
come to them just aa much as it
belongs to the men. They have taken
hold of this new responsibility de
termined to make their suffrage count
for advancement and enlightenment.
Appreciating, this obligation more and
more, they will play no mean part in
molding the future destiny of this
state.
Next Tuesday brings another muni
cipal election, and «a Hew weeks later
comes the state primary in which our
women will be expected to do their
duty. As regards Clinton’s municipal
election, let us urge the women not
to be negligible, but go to the pells
and cast their ballots for the bast
men for the respqgtive offices. You

sensitiveness to criticism.
6. Effectiveness of Speech: Can you
express your ideas clearly and con
vincingly ? Do you speak with a “pip
ing” voice, or have you studied how
to place your voice so that you are
not unpleasant to listen to?
7. Self-Confidence: What are the
things you have done of which you
have a right to be proud?
8. Friendliness: Are you too criti
cal hi your judgement of other
pie ? Make a list of six people whom
you dislike, and analyse impartially
your reasons for disliking them. Have
you been acting justly?
9. Adaptability: Do you find it easy
to listen to what other people are
saying? Are you keen to aak ques
tions when people bring up new sub
jects or business plans? If so,
may be strong in this attributo.

man who especially likes to be given
credit for the work be does? Do
you give it to him. or do you like
to make him think that you, or some
one else, deserves the credit because
you gave him the idea he baa carried
out or because you assisted him in
some other way? How often do you
find yourself praising people for what
they have done?
11. Cheerfulness: Do you depress
other people, or are you a cheerful
companion? When your affairs are
not going well, can you keep from
showing it in your manner? When
other people toil you of their plane
and hopes, do you take an enthusias
tic interest in their affairs, or are you
bored and unresponsive?
12- Good Judgement: Examine
yourself particularly as regards initi
ative and resourcefulness. H
What can be done on wires can be
done through the ether that separates
this earth from other planets in our
family.
We shall get from these planets ra
dio portraits showing faces of their
strange inhabitants and radio “blue
prints” from Mars showing us how
to dig canals to store the waters of
the oceans whan frost, , rain and at
trition make this earth perfectly
round, leaving no natural caxity to
bold tbu-watef. a
If the earth were absolutely round,
as it will be in a few million years,
the ocean would cover it about a mile
deep everywhere. We must know how
to prevent that. Mars, tens of mil
lions of years older than Earth, will
reach us by radio.
Tens of thousands gather at Louis
ville, Kentucky, all excited, eager,
speculating, betting on “the great
American Derby.” The winning horse
will get $60,000. For half the money
that a good jockey earns in a week
you can buy an automobile that will
run any ten race horses to death
every day and never get tired. Speed
in horses no longer means anything
useful. Racing, betting, horse ex
citement will continue, for it takes
men a long time to get over any-
think they have been doing for a
thousand years.
There are many Rdvantages to tradiqg- at this store
