EXIT WOMAN MAYOR.
Honeywell. Kansas, has changed its mind regarding women mayors, and Mrs Ella. Wilson, who was chosen .Mayor of the town two years ago, has been defeated for re-election. According to Chicago advices, Honeywell aas grown tired of “Petticoat rule.” .Ivor since April, 1911, Honeywell lias had not only a woman mayor, hut a woman chief of police, a woman town clerk, and other women, officers. They started out to make Honeywell a model town, and took every means to harass the local purveyors of liquor and to purge the town of drunkards and gamblers. For a while the novel-
ty of the situation amused the inhaitauts of Honeywell, but the constant fights that occurred between the male and female councillors, the inefficiency of the female officials, and the fantastic “notions” which, without the backing of any law, they attempted to put into operation, finally disgusted the populace, who turned hem out.
