Discussion of women's manners in

is women who complain of being jolt:
ed in crowds or of being compelled to
stand in street cars while men occupy
the seats, says the Boston Globe.
Sometimes {t is men who murmur be-
cause some women in public often
seen to ignore the fundamental rules
of good breeding. It is noticeable that
most of the criticisms of women's pub-
ic manners are evoked by the con-
duct a well-dressed or stylish and ap-
parently well-todo woman, seldom by
the bearing of working women or
girls. The woman who puts down a
$20 or a $10 bill at the ticket office
window, holds up a lengthening line
while she counts her change and
glares furiously If a man puts down
his nickel before she has picked up
the last bit of chenge; the woman
who never moves along in a car to
make room for another woman: the
woman who deliberately takes up
as auch time as possible at" the store
counter while other customers are
waiting—these women commonly look
like persons of refinement. No doubt
they are kind-hearted and gentle-man-
nered in their own homes and in their
own circles.

VARDAMAN WINS
New Legis'a‘ure Will be Dominated
by His Supporters
Jackson, Miss Returns from the
Democratic primary election in
Mississippi show that a political revo-
lution has occurred in the State
James K. Vardaman was nominat-
ed for United States Senator over
both of his opponents, Senator Leroy
Perey and C. H. Alexander
The new Legislature will be domi-
nated by a large majority of Varda-
man supporters and it is reported in
political circles that one of the first
acts of that body will be to order a
sweeping investigation of the election
of United States Senator Percy by the
previous Legislature in 1810,
The campaign was fought on the
record of the Legislature in electing
Percy After Percy was elected it
was charged that he was elected by
corrupt methods. State Senator Theo-
dore G. Bilbo charged that he had
been paid a bribe of $645 to vote for
Percy. Bilbo claimed that he accopt-
ed the bribe for the purpose of trap-
ping L. C. Dulaney, one of Percy's
campaign managers, who, Bilbo
charged, paid him the bribe. Bilbo
ran for Lieutenant-Governor in the
primary and the returns show that he
was nominated over both of his op-
| ponents.
