The petticoat has come to stay. The
divided skirt and the bloomer have
had their little day, at least with the
French girls. BY a unanimous vote
the female readers of a French paper
have 6ecreed to oust every style of
frock but the old reliable petticoat de-
sign, and as the French ladies are con-
ceded to be the leaders of fashion, the
decision is final. No reason for this
peremptory decision is set forth, of
course, but then women are in the
habit of doing things without giving
any detailed reason for it, more than
the proverbial because" word
which may be assigned whatever
meaning you like. They are not par
ticuiar about that. 1t may be that
woman in her ambition TO be classified
with the angel elects to wear the petit
coat merely to detract from the knowl-
edge that she is only biped, n hideous
clothes peg, like man. -Punx'y Spirit.

The anti-imperiaIists who have
been shuddering at the proposed
oppression Of the Filipinos by the
Administration, are considerably
embarrassed at the recent speech of
President Schurman at Chicago.
AS one of the philippine Commits
sion he pointed out that the plan
Of government for the islands
which the Commission has recon-
mended, and to carry out which
the President is to appoint another
Commission, follows closely the
lines of Jefferson's for the govern
ment OF the Louisiana purchase.
1t will hardly be claimed by the
antis that the inhabitants of the
Louisiana country were less fit for
self-government than are the Fill
pinos to-day.

CAUCUS REFORM.

One OF the questions To be agitated
and discussed by the next state legis
lature Is caucus REFORM or the re-
form of primary elections. Many rad
zeal changes have been suggested,
some going so far as to embrace the
idea OF electing delegates to conven
tions by the complete Australian sys
tenn, and of abolishing conventions al
together, the voters directly electine
by ballot their candidates for Offices
This agitation has arisen from what
appears to be corruption and the un'
due use of money in the selection Of
delegates TO conventions. Such bad
practices have gradually grown upon
the state until it is a notorious fact
that nominations are practically
bought This is demoralizing and
dangerous TO the whole state and un'
doubleday should be remedied. The
caucus plays a more important part In
an election than any of the numerous
steps which have TO be taken. Nc
man can be elected without first being
on the ticket, but no man can be on
the ticket unless regularly nominated.
1t is surprising that while the leaks
have been stopped, from time to time,
in the general election law, the caucus
has not been considered, and can today
be run on the same free and easy styl
as of yore. The meanest, most con-
temptible, and dirtiest scoundrel ever
produced could be elevated TO place
and power with the help OF dozen
quick witted friends in the caucus,
while reputable citizen, respected by
all, might be turn down by the same
process.
The present law is much more strin-
gent than most people imagine. III
convictions under it could he secured
it might be of some avail. But the
trouble with this and with other laws
along the same line is the difficulty OF
securing complaints and convictions.
To this present law might be added
still more stringent provisions, but all
would be OF no avail without evidence
to convict. The most strict laws can
be evaded in some way as long as can
didates for Office are willing to spend
money to secure nomination.
Perhaps the mos. effective way OF
solving the problem is to provide for
the election of candidates and dele
gates by the Australian system, sur
rounding these elections with the same
safeguards that surround regular
elections now.
