"Men Are Such Fools"

This opinion is shared oy nine
women in ten when the discussion of
mems dress comes up. When the
mercury is climbing out of the top of
the tnbe a woman will come down
town looking as cool and comfortable
as a lilly in the morning dew at sun
rise, while man will go about mop
ping his face and looking like the
boiled lobster he is.
The subject comes to mind through
a set of four cartoons in a recent is
sue of the Sioux City journal, under
the caption ''A Midsummer Nights
Dream" The subject is a distracted
appearing man, clad in a suit of pan
jamas, trying to sleep through a
torrid night. The chances are that
the poor devil donned the same pan
jamas that he wore last winter when
the mercury was $50 degrees below
zero, and more than likely over a suit
of swcat-soaked underwear to boot.
That's just like a man.
| What under the heavens men can
! find in comfort in suit Of panjumas
winter or summer-as compared
with roomy comfortable, easy-ftting
night shirt, is something we can't
understand. It's a fool fad. The last
I, Of "Ding's" four cartoons showed the
ninnYhammer sitting half up in bed
as the morning sun was rising, the
shirt Of the panjamas rolled up under
his ears and the 'pants" half way
down his legs like a kids swaddling
cloth. No wonder he looked liked a
wild man-and felt worse. We had
the same experience one bot summer
night when caught away from home
without grip and a friend loaned US
a suit of the blamed things. We
swore then, after a most miserable
night, that if anyone ever got bath
ing suit on US away from the seashore
again, they would know it.
The most comfortable garment a
man can wear in sleep on hot night,
after cold sponge bath, is fine
cambric or an all linen particularly
the latter night shirt, cut rather low
in the neck and without collar. And
a man who would discard such gar
ment, after once trying it, for suit
of East India panjamas Nor that's
where the things originated a
snake county, doesn't know enough to
come in Hhen it rains.

)r magazine In the country is doing
more sincere and effective work for
,eform of many Of the admitted exist
ng evils than Golfers Weekly. and
this is what it has to say of the rail-
road subject:
The movement for fixing rates
actually through a commission,
as constrasted with regulating
them, has lost ground OF late. The
President, responding to the
public, has slackened speed In the
onslaught he was making. We
have never cared much to see the
rate-fxing power in absolute form
ina a small group Of government
appoiItees. A sign OF the trend
was given when the organ OF the
locomotive engineers came out
against the scheme. A railway is
thing peculiarly requiring regu.
latiOn. 1t ought to be a monopoly,
to avoid wasteful duplication,
and yet unless there is competi-
tion the roads will treat the peo-
pie like so much dirt. Compare the
AASAi CSlSlNOS lWUVCOA SllISASO
and New York with the perform
ances OF fat monopoly like the
Boston & Maine, which owns leg
isatures and with impunity NAL
treats the public in every known
way. But it is perfectly simply
to have monopoly and good ser
vice, by Government and State
supervision. Everything about
railway ought to be subject to the
State, from rates to comfort, from
equal privileges to safety, but the
correct democratic principle is to
let the roads know what is expect
ed OF them, and see that they per-
form it-not for the state to step
in itself and undertake the con-
duct of the railway business.
So far as our information goes
South Dakota, as state. has nothing
in sight for it's good in a radical ad
iustment of rates by a political com
mission-eyen under the supervision
of the honest Roosevelt-while il
stands to lose many concessions in the
way of long distance hauls to th,
Chicago ana seaport markets. Ii ther,
is a way to protect the railroad
against the thieying rebates demand

The elevator salesman, feeling sure
that he had made a sale, consented and

pickle manufacturer, when the other

Jews i'm Confederate Army.

From an Address by John S. EggleS-
ton at Memorial Exercises in Hebrew
Cemetery at Richmond, Va.
Il have said the Jews of the south
nobly responded to the call to arms
That honored rabbi, Rev. Mr.. Michel
bacher, Of this city, applied to the adiu-
tant an inspector general Of the
~Confederacy, with the request that, if
possible, the Jewish soldiers be grant
ed a short leave of absence so that they
might observe two of the Jewish holy
days, General Cooper stated that he
would gladly grant the furlOugh, if it
were practical, but, in his estimation,
there were between 10000 and II, 900
Jewish soldiers in the Confederate ar
my, and therefore, to grant the re-
quest would practically d~isintegrate
certain commands. 1t is stated on good
authority as being hardly probable that
there were more than 100000 Jews in
the whole United States when hostiii-
ties began. So that, in all probability,
the proportion Of Jewish soldiers in
the Confederate army was larger than
that Of any other faith.
[ have referred to the fact that the
great Judah P. Benjamin, secretary OF
Wdl III LuC SOultCCIdIc CdDluCI, WAS
a Jew. Twenty-four staff officers in
the Confederate army and eleven Of
ficers in the Confederate navy were
Jews. General David de Leon, the first
surgeon general of the Confederate
army, "a a Jew. In the Mexican War
he twice took the place of commanding
officers who had been killed or wound
ed, and acted with such gallantry and
ability as to twice receive the thanks
of the congress of the United States,
and was appointed surgeon general Of
the Confederate army.
"Sir Moses Ezekiel. the distinguish
ed sculptor, served with the cadets Of
the Virginia Military Institute in the
War Between the States. 1t has been
only a short time since he erected to
these cadets a monument made by his
