Treatment Of Anarchists

Anarchists believe and teach that
the conventions by which members of
community have agreed to abide are
inexpedient and have a tendency To
dwarf the sovereignty which they be
lieve inheres in each individual There
is a fascinating quality in the idea of
perfect independence and freedom.
Boys, luXuriOusly clothed, fed and
lodged, dream of a life on the plains
or on board ship. and the character
istic of a life on the sea or the
plains which enraptures them is
it's freedom. Coarse fare and clothes
and an unwholesome, dirty place
to sleep do not lessen the attract
iveness of the visions boys see. Occa-

Morris is essentially young. She is the
centre of her system. Her emotions
are primitive and she expresses them
primitively. She has had wide ex
perience but it has not modified the
original Clara. She is as intense and
positive, as assured of her own inspira
ton as when she began her remarkable
career. Rosa Bonheur was a great
painter, but she posed her animals.
After awhile her lions posed for her
without suggestion and they will stay
posed for all time. Miss Morris IS a
poseuse. Her artificiality is natural.

keepers of Lincoln were trained to use
the muscles and strength latent in

are hopeless invaIids because they did

The Primaries

Every voter Interested i'm the pros
perity of the city should take pains
to investigate the records of the COun-
cilmen who ask him to sign their petit
tons for candidacy. 1t is of no vital
significance what party they belong
to, but it is of immediate and per
sOnal interest to every voter whether
the man who wants to be council
man has demonstrated that he is cap
able of joining in the deliberations of
the council with an unprecedented mind
ana forms his conclusions by consider
atoms based on business and is unin-
fiuenced by spite against the mayor or
by any other irrelevant motive. Not to
Oblige a neighbor should the honest
man ignOrantly sign a petition. Many
of the cOuncilmen have repeatedly
demonstrated their unfitness for places
in the city council The Objectionable
minority have been kept from wreak-
ing their vengeance on the citizens who
had the bad judgment to elect them by
a bare majority of good business men
in the council This majOrity is threat
ened by the approaching election. If
the gang succeed in it's plans, the
mayor will be no obstacle to plumber.
Their strength will be sufficient to
carry any measure over his veto.
Their desire for reelection is purely
personal and selfish. They have re-
peatedIy shown their indifference to
the welfare of the city. The time is
approaching when the citizens can
show them how their services are re-
garded. The only danger is that busy
men will not take the time to inves-
tigate and that the candidates will be
reelected by default.
Judge ComstOck has made the office
of police judge honorable. He has kept
the records of his office perfectly and
the depraved of the city have come into
contact in the impressive moments of
their appearance before the judge with
a conscientious gentleman who has en-
deavored to deal as mercifully with
them as justice allows. He has refused
TO hold the office longer. During his
incumbency the city has had the serv-
ices of an upright, able lawyer who
brought before him with patience and
an unquenched desire to do Justice
His successor should be a man of the
same convictions and practice.

High School Athletics


Among the occasional types of the
next quarter of a century will be the
wan. nervous little school girl. Phys
zeal culture is making flabby muscles
girls, nervous about examinations, are
acquiring pOise, repOse and Self-COntrOl
through the development of classes in
physical culture. Girls need the course
in physical culture more than boys
The latter are irrepressibly active and
their clothes do not hamper their move
mentS as the draperieS worn by girls
do. 1t is said by students of anthrO-
pOmetric statistics that the American
young woman is the tallest, strongest,
ablest woman in the world. She is not
so tall as the Gibson woman, who,
measured by the furniture with which
the artist considerably surrounds her,
is nearly seven feet high. But the
well-bred American girl of eighteen and
twenty is a magnificent creature. The
Sorrowful thing about her is that some
how the duties and responsibilities of
her sex seem to age her rapidly and in
be blooming in the fragrance of ma
tured wOmanhOOd, she drOOps, is in
clined to nag, and for relief takes one
after another of the prOfusely adVer-
tised nostrums. She lacks fibre.
School girls in the seventh, eighth
and high school grades are on the Dor
derlands Most of these girls no longer
climb trees, play pull-away or run
races, and yet this is the time of times
when they should be exercising their
bodies. They are not old enough for
golf or for the Out-Of-dOOr sports which
in the last twenty years have become
popular with young ladies. Girls of this
age are apt to be morbid, to spend
their leisure in reading unwhOlesOme
love stories and in dreaming of an inn
possible future. They are inclined to
think too much of themselves and to
magnify their troubles. The tendency
of education at this period particularly
should be wholly objective. Play with
their schOOlmates and friends of their
own age leaves neither time nor ener-
gy for vain imaginatings. The strenu-
Gus concentration of basketball makes
Mrs. Holmes and The Duchess" look
like thirty cents.
OF all the developments of the public
school regime in the last twenty years
nothing is working so much good to
this generation and the next as the
courses in physical culture, especially
the grades and the high school need it
more than the older girls in the uni
versity who dance, walk and do a
small amount of Homework occasion
ally. The thin, undeveloped bodies of
the little girls need the intelligent exer-
else of a carefully educated physical
director. Nothing that the girls can
learn from books is of so much i'm
portance to them and to their future
as strength, and knowledge and skill
to use their bodies.
Miss SpurCk, the physical director of
the Lincoln schools, studies the girls
who are in her gymnasium classes and
a few years under her training
cOrrects spines and shoulders DETECTED
from normal lines. The late ex-
hibition of the gymnasium classes of
the high school and the seventh and
eighth grades was a pupils recital
Many of the girls were slender and
very far from the developed ideal of

sion in drill and quickness and good
