"VASELINE LACE"
Mistakes VIII Happen Even In Well
Regulated Department Stores.


Quite a commotion was raised 10
one of our great department stores the
other day when a nicely dressed We
man floated up to the trimming coun
ter and, having jauntily perched her
self on a stool. asked for "vaselins
lace"
II beg your pardon" said the sur
prised attendant, straining her ear to
catch the name of this new lace, Of
which she had never heard.
"Vaseline, just vaseline, you know"
airily repeated the customer.
Then there was an appeal to another
saleswoman, but she knew no more OF
this novelty than her sister-in-woe.
Matters became so desperate that
the head of the department was asked
to come to the rescue, and She too,
was nonplussed as we'll as amused for
a second, but Of course she did not
show it.
"Vaseline lace?" she repeated.
There are so many names given O
number of the laces. Please describe
it,"
ooh, it's just that little tight lace
that everybody uses for everything,
and want some for five cents a yard"
was the reply.
The head of the department turned
and took down box of Valenciennes
Gmitation), upon which the customer
asked patronizingly:
And pray what do you call it?"
Usually Valenciennes; but what's
in a name?" was the gay comment.

practice Is not confined to one

partisans Of republican and demo.
cratic possibilities alike. Neither
experience nor observation seems
to have served to have instructed
the judgment of these early birds
In politics. The nomination worm
comes out late, and very rarely re-
wards the early seeker. A presi-
dental boom that can endure the
winter frosts and summer heat of
three years must have uncommon
vitality, and must be energized by
an overwhelming public sentiment
of national scope.
Popular favor is ephemeral. The
longevity of the ordinary boom
hardly ever exceeds six months;

Bryan's Absurdity.

1t is absurd for Mr.. Bryan to say
that the Supreme Court decisions
have made an emperor Of the Pres.
ident. 1t is equally absurd to as
sert that congressional absolutism
has been sanctioned. Does Mr..
Bryan know what centralized
despotism is? Let him read the
first amendment to the constitution
Congress shall make no law re-
specting an establishment oi
religion. or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press,
or the right Of the people peacea-
bly, to assemble, etc. Is there an
emperor or an empire" anywhere
subject to these restrictionsa Let
Mr.. Bryan remember, further, that
the amendment for trial BY Jury
has been repeatedly held to apply
to territories. Is trial by jury
coexistent with absolutism? So
long as the bill of rights follows
the fiag-and there Is nothing In
the decisions to the contrary, while
there are dicta In abundance point
ing the right way-it is sheer folly
and worse to talk about loss Of
liberty and rights by any popula.
ton living under the sovereignty
Of the United States. --Chicago

The Thing Desirable.

Two of Idaho's state institutions
of higher education are this week
closing another years work with
the fitting exercises that attend
college commencement. A score
or more Of Idaho youths and
maidens will receive at the hands
of their preceptors certificates OF
graduation to make the closing OF
an epoch in the progress Of their
education. 1t is fitting on such
occasions to discuss the object and
aim of education, the one thing de-
sirable. 1t can be presented in
many phases, but never better
than In one word, Culture"
First, the culture of power,
mental power and discipline. The
mind is machine. Faculties are
Its components, these are suscept-
able of cultivation. The process
Of education that does not take into
its calculations the culture and de.
velopment of the mental faculties
has lost sight of the first place in
educational progress. The old
dogma that knowledge is power is
true only within Limitations.
Modern educational methods have
outgrown the examining methods. +"
In any individual mind knowledge
is power only in proportion as it
can be assimilated then it acts as
storage battery for use Of the cul.
tivated mind. The schools now
aim to supply mental culture akin
to the physical culture of we'll
regulated gymnasium. Youthful
minds are to be made as symmetri-
cal as youthful bodies. Modern
education trains the faculties of the
mind for mental power by methods
similar to the training of muscles |
tor physical power. Nor Is the fact
to be lost to sight that the mind Is |
not intellect alone, but compre.
hends as well the sensibilities and
The will. Modern education under.
lakes the culture of these elements

perception and conception, with
