Ex-Senator Bienet and IEx-Senator Pollock are stirring themselves u1p over the woman suffrage issue out of all proportion to either on1e's chalices to beat Ed. Smith. inctm1lbert, for re election to ihe t'nited States Senate. When Senator E1lison Duitant Smith gets tip to tell the farimers about cof ton, thle woman suffrage issue and tli two young aspirants for senatorial honors will be swelit before the flood of oratory which will follow. Cotton is still a factor in politics as well as in textile mantufacttre and the senior senator knows how to handle it. Trihe recent instance in this city of the arrest of a man piosing as a charitable worker and soliciting funds for a rescue home brintgs tip the ques tion whether or not indiscriminate soliciting and begging should be a lowed on the streets of aturens. It is iot allowed ill some places and it Is reasonable to suppose, especiall y since this recent incident, th'at the pitblic is often taken advantage of by traveling fakers. Maly solicitors, no doubt, are worthly of generotis sup port, but very often money is contrib uiteld which never is used for honest PIIrposes and at other times is very inefficiently expon ded. The k'ity Coiln eil might. provide for a committee, either from its membership or from among repitable citizens of the town, Wil-ich could pass on the worthiness of various causes presen ted on the streets, giving a e1 bill of health to tile worthy catuses anid telling the others to pass on.
