NO INSTITUTES IN HILLDoM.

No farmers Institutes will be held
in the northern portion of the state
because the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads have refused to
furnish free transportation for the in
structors. This they have been &C
cnstomed to furnish in the past, on
the theory that the roads were bene-
fitted by the progress made in agri-
culture. The new ruling is probably
on the theory that the earnings of the
road could be augmented by making
the state pay fare. We believe the
roads are right, and they ought to
carry the rule out in practice and
abolish ali free passes to public Of
6cials. The state could we'll afford to
pay fare, if the public would be pro-
tected in it's rights, as it would be
more likely to be if the servants OF
the state would not accept personal
favors from the companies. The case
of the institute workers is somewhat
different however, and the people of
the southern portion of the state,
where the roads are more liberal, will
have the full benefit of their labors
this winter.

SENATOR CHARLES A. roWNE.

Governor Lind's appointment of
Charles A. Towne to be senator, sue
ceeding the late Cushman K. Davis, is
not so much of a compliment to Mr..
Towne as it is a tribute to Governor
Lind's judgment. Mr.. Towne is one
of the ablest men in American public
life, and the only regret attaching to
his appointment is that he will retire
from the senate after less than two
months of service. Such men as
Charles A. Towne are needed in the
United States senate-men of patri-
otic, unselfsh motives; men of brains;
men of thought and action. When
one compares the senators of bygone
days senators like Webster, Clay,
Morton, Chandler, Carpenter, Trum-
bull, Logan and Blaine-with the
purse proud and shameless tricksters
who have used senatorial seats in.
tended for their moral and intellectual
betters, one feels proud that a man
like Charles A. Towne; is to be a
senator, even though it be for a few
brief months.
It is too bad for the nation, too bad
for the senate and too bad for. Mime
sofa that Charles A. Towne is to serve
only until the meeting of the legisla-
ture. 1t would be blessing to all if
he were to serve for a full term and
have as his colleagues men of equal
ability and political honesty Omaha

most worthily bestowed. While his
career as senator at this time will
essarily be brief it will not be un-
eventful nor void of significance in
the upward career of q rising states
man. 1t was the splendid personal
qualities and, ability of Towne which
won him this appointment. And he
may well be proud of his title to the
seat. Gov. Linds's appointment
ought certainly be a more satisfactory
and pleasing credential than one
bought by; gold from a dead,locked
legislature, which is too often the
case. Towne's appointment has
brought out one fact plainly and that
is that he is regarded as .one of

There is great deal. of merited satis-

the eyes of the dominant forces, for
the sake of remaining true to his man.

fore the pretty suggestion made by Sir
Edwin Arnold should be hailed with de-
light by fanciful hostesses. and some
pretty conce1ts should await US in
the lovely spring afternoons, when we
all like to surround ourselves with all
that is prettiest and daintiest-.
The idea of the author of The Light
of Asia" comes from the@Iand of the
almond blossom. It i5 full of possibili-
ties, and has deliciously Oriental
touch about it; for he proposes that
hostesses should adopt the Ko-Kw wal,
or perfume party of Japan. One doubts
if western folk are imaginative and
simple enough to carry it out complete
ly. The surroundings, in the first place,
must be delicate and the hostess daint-
lily clad. All the guests must come
fresh from their bath, in their newest
and prettiest clothes; they must have
eaten no food and drunk no wines or
spirits of late; neither must the men
exhaIe the odor of even the mildest
cigarette, and each must lay before the
hostess a perfumed sachet, the partic-
ular odor Of which the others must de-
termine, a prize being given to the one
who guesses the most correctly.
1t is to be feared the western man
would not be much in evidence at these
parties 1t would have to be a hostess
of rare beauty or charm who could in
duce all the men of her acquaintance
to foregO smoking for practically a
whole day, and live on crystalized
ViOletS and ice waters in order to have
lilE privilege u laying Sdcn2I at ner
feet and counting headache in an
atmosphere of musk and lotus and
patchouh. However, new ideas are so
scarce that the Ko-kWai is sure to be
tried. 1t remains to be seen what we
make of it in the west.-Chicago News.
National Suffrage Bazaar.
The National American Woman Suf-
frage association is making prepara-
lions for a grand suffrage bazaar, to be
held in Madison Square Garden, New
York, opening Monday, December 5, and
continuing throughout the week.
Some kind of an entertainment will be
provided each evening, but it is expect
ed that the chief attraction will be the
sales. 1t is the intention to have a
great variety Of articles and in quail
ties to supply all kinds of purchasers
for the whole six days.
The object is to secure a large fund
| for doing national work and it is de-
sired that the suffragists in all states
in the Union shall contribute their time
and talent to this common effort and
when the receipts have been secured eV-
| cry state through its representative in
/ the national convention, shall have a
/ vote as to how the money shall be spent.
Madison Square Garden is one of the
/ best known buildings in New York city.
/ The famous horse fair has been held
/ there for number of years. No build
ing in the United States could be better
adapted to the use of a bazaar.
Every conceivable kind of useful and
/ ornamental article, from potatoes or a
/ dish-rag to beautiful works of art will
/ be gladly accepted. In fact the man
