Babblings Of q
Bachelor Girl.

->>>>-~-~Oe~~-~~r~-~e~".~ e~>r~~-~~~~~>e~~~~-c~~
Ones opinions WObble so nowadays"
said Nine. Sarah Grand the other night
in Minneapolis during the course of her
lecture on Mere Man"
Certainly one of the Bachelor GIRL
opinions wobbled frightfully when she
gaZed on the creator of .'The Heavenly
Twins" and Of that impossible "Babs"
Confidentially, she expected to see long,
lean woman clad in a curyeless green
blue frock, with quantity of wispy
bronze hair done low over green-blue
eyes. 1t seems rather unfair for a woman
to crowd between the covers of her book
all the fascinatingly unconventional
things one would do oneself if one
didn't have relations, and then come out
of her literary seclusion and face her
expectant public clad in a conventional
black and white frock, her head coiffed
in a conventional couture.
But it was the lecture itself that made
the Bachelor Girls opinion wobbIe most
if there can be degrees of webbing. Now,
certainly nobody can accuse Sarah Grand
of writing her books to point moral
There was not the vestige of moral
in 1.-The Heavenly Twins" that is, not
one that could apply to the general pub
lie, although the literary public might
have discovered one for itself And
Babs-well, her worst enemy could no..
accuse Babs of having such a thing as
a moral concealed any place about her.
But with the lecture it was different
There was moral, an aggravating, i'm
pertinent, not-get-aroundable moral to
it And the moral was tackled on to the
end of a good.little talk that was a cross
between woman Suffra giSt's address
and a Box editorial. The lecture had
been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS memorized.
Babs certainly would never have mem
orized anything. Occasionally, however,
flashes of Babs irreverence broke rough
ly through the conventional veil that
made the lecturer-novelist seem like one
of her own eSoterie heroines Bostonized
Comparing the Paris exposition to "a
tawdry big shop that contained not a
solitary thing whose possession would
contribute to the happiness of mankind
was a Heavenly Twins touch.
A discussion of Sarah Grand natural
ly leads to a discussion of matrimonial
problems, and it was apropos of the lat
ter that, at a little supper which fol-
lowed the Grand lecture, the Chaperon
made the following remark:
do you know she observed, gazing
pensively into her glass. that more di-
vorces result from breakfasts than from
anything else?"
No one responded. In fact, the remark
so obviously requires an explanation that
its eemed superf1uous even to ask for
one.

THE POINT OF THE JOKE

reported by the official stenographers in
order to assure greater fullness and ac-
curacy may be taken as a joke or they
may be taken seriously, according to the
temperament of the individual; but if
they are designed as a joke there can be
GO question whatever as TO who are in
tended to be the victims of the joke.
The very extensive report of the pro-
ceedings Of the executive session of the
senate While the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was under consideration which was pub
lished in the columns of The Clio b e
might be considered in the language Of
Senator Clapp's resolution, as mot as full
as it might be- although it was quite full
end accurate enough for all practical pur
poses. Tie fact that it was a report of
proceedings which were supposed to be
held in secret did not seem to enter into
the consideration of anyone who had
anything to do with them until Senator
Clapp offered his resolutions The only
thought whicn seemed to prevail was
that the reading public desired to know
what was said, and it's desire was COM
piled with.
h G 10 finds little fault with the
reports now emanating from the execu-
tive sessions of the senate, save that they
tend by their completeness to cause the
public to pay less attention to the need
dictated by every consideration of com
mon intelligence, that such debates shall
be held in open session. OF course the
American public does not care a button
where or how the speeches are delivered

North Dakota Needs 1t.

Since the opening of congress Senator
Hansbrough has introduced bill to en-
courage the establishment of school of
forestry in North Dakota It provides
that the government shall donate 10000
acres of land for the purpose. The state
has already inaugurated the school at
Bottineau, the legislature having set
aside a tract of land for it. The senator
also offered a bill aprpopriating 100000
for the construction of a public building
at Grand Forks, II. D. The latter bin
has twice passed the senate in an inef-
fectuaI attempt to secure the desired APP
priation.-Langdon, NJ D., Courier

This power we do not think is pos
sessed by any legislative body under the
constitution. Should the Grout bill pass
it will live only so long as it takes to
secure a decision from the supreme court
of the United States. Such legislation is
clearly against public policy and danger
