The evil here complained Of is,not
confined to the high schools 81 the
smaller towns. It has made itSelf
felt in the city schools and has been
observed with disgust BY many
persons. The st. Paul Dispatch
commented on the situation as dis
closed by the graduating exercises
Of the st, Paul Central high school,
and after discussing the evil at
length said: +
These are not trifling matters.
They mean much to the girl or boy
who is leaving school. They mean
very much in the democracy Of the

claration Of equality. This must be-
secured even at the expense IT keep
ing the children Of wealthy parents,
or Of parents who will not confess
to poverty. in plain garb. It is en-
tirely competent for the faculty Of
the high schools to supervise the
dresses Of graduates. It should BE-
done in order to relieve the public
from such aburdities. x z$+@
The right of parents to sclothe
their children in garments as ex-
pensive and gaudy as they please
cannot be questioned as long as it's
q personal matter and they do moth
ing more than violate good taste.
It is when, under the auspices Of
the officers of the public schools,
children of parents whose means are
limited are Inundated by an un.
favorable comparison of clothes
and the number of presents that q
gross wrong is perpetrated.
The situation would not be 80 bad
and would not be 80 deserving Of
criticism if it were to stop as it is.
But the situation becomes worse
every year. From commencement
night has come class night, Junior
receptions, alumni receptions and
more, and still other things, that

Whatever tends to impose un-

afternoon drove it to town, where
its pitiable condition attracted much
attention. The eve was entire gone
and the canoerous: growth, protrud-.
ing from the, socket, presented q
horrible sight. The attention Of
Marshal Landis- was called to the
horse, and he Uniformed Visker that
the animal must be {: treated by a.

have the horse treated, and on Suns.
day DR.. Thompson drove out TO-
.Visker's place, and after an exami-
nation, said be- would remove the
growth for ten dollars and do what
he could to save the horse. Viskers
thought the chargeStoo high and
nothing was done. Monday 8
complaint was made to Justice
Freeman who issuedh Harrent for
Yisker q arrest on charge Of cruelty
to animals. The warrant was placed
in the hand. .:of Deputy Sheriff
Faragher and. Visker was brought
in. In the meantime, Dr.. Gould
of Worthington was summoned after
examining the horse said that the
case could not successfully treated
without the constant care of 81
veterinary surgeon, and as this
would probably cost more, than the
horse is worth, he advised that the
animal be: killed. d He also warned
Visker that the horse should be kept
apart from his other horses else the
disease might be communicated to
them. The humane thing would be-
to kill the horse at once az it is in
no condition to work and must
suffer great agony. The charges Of
the veterinarians and. the costs in
the case amounted to:e17.5o, which
visker paid. He promised to have
the horse killed ina week or two

as a senator to oppose with all his power

despite this openly and frankly stated OPP
position, the legislature of Maine, while
favoring the declaration of war, had such
confidence in the manly man that It's MEM
bers voted enthusiastically for Mr.. HaleS
reelection to the United States Senate.
Mr.. Hale's nomination for President of
the United States would satisfy every
section of the country, unity the entire
party and insure victory to the ticket in
1904. Old-line republicans would be de-
lighted, and the men who learned stern
republicanisnl from the 1amented Zach
ariah Chandler would rally for Mr.. Hale
as one man, knowing that no mans
frown would daunt him, nor mugwump

man who succeeded to James G. Blaine's
seat in the Senate when President Garfield

Mr.. William P. Frye, is admirably equip
ped for the presidency and would be ac-
ceptable to every working republican in the
country. AS strenuous as any man who
ever existed, yet modest considerate, gem
tlemanly and courteous; fine lawyer and
experienced statesman, Mr.. Frye has the
respect and esteem of all who know him,
irrespective Of party, and no man has done
more to support and sustain republican
measures and republican candidates.
''The ability of William P. Frye is of the
very highest order. Intellectually he is

there would be nothing to put the party
upon the defensive; capital and labor would
unite in the support of William P. Frye
and his nomination would mean his election

With Frye as the candidate the republican
party takes no chances on New York or
upon the country.
