1t has been the custom of girls en-
ployed in the beet fields to don over
alls like the men, so as to have free
dom of movement in clearing the beets
of weeds. Some ~puritanical persons
objected to this habit on the ground
that it is Immoral and leads to the de-
struction Of modesty."
OveraIIs Not Immodest.
The girls declare that the wearing
of skirts has deferred them from doing
rapid work, and therefore put on owe
alls. The young women seem to like
the change and take to the new gar
ments quite generally, finding it just
the thing for their work. They insist
that a large, roomy pair of overalls is
no more immodest than a skirt, es-
pecially in the beet field.
OveraIIs or a Scrap.
A local enthusiastic supporter of the
crusade against girls wearing overalls
asserts that the beet field will be worse
than the dance hall as a sourc of

Must the overall go? That is now

For one desperate moment yves" did
not know which way to turn. The sad
dest feature of it all was the apparent
reprehensible conduct of Ray Walsh.
Walsh was his best friend They had
prospered together, and drunk cham
pagne; they had known adversity, and
divided a scent. dish of greasy beans.
And yet here was Walsh, with the
greatest story that ever hit the State,
"pedcling" it out to his best ffiend's
paper, knowing that such a course
would ruin his best friend; the best
friend, of course, being ives" Wilson
The Walsh incident paled. however. in
comparison with the Importance of the
main feature, the story itself. That
had to be met.
Ignoring all the messages except
those from his own paper, Wilson sent
the Courier a telegram well calculated
to make easy the minds of the editors
of that publication. While in no way
committing himself, he showed an ac-
quaintance with the STORY" that was
remarkable. This duty done, he jumped
into hack and, filed with mournful
reflections over a broken engagement of
the afternoon, went laundering away to
the home of Phillip Levy.
No sooner had the hack stopped in
front of Levy's door than a vision
clothed in white. red ribbons and aux-
iety burst from 1t and ran down the
steps and across the sidewalk to the
hack. even before the impatient Wilson
could descend.
"Ohi" cried the vision, what Is the
latest word? Is he dead? Have you
come to tell me about It? Oh, papa!

words followed. in spite of Wilson's ef-
forts to stop II. He recognized in the
vision Phillip Levy's daughter, one of
San Jose's faircst daughters; a truly
pretty girl, whom he had admired much.
AZ any other time he would have well
coined the opportunity to be of assist
ance to her. On this particular occa-
sion, however, he had no time TO be-
stow sympathy even upon a pretty
girl. He gathered from the young
woman's words that her father had
boen the victim of a serious accident,
the nature of which she could not tell.

Wilson scented another tremendous
story, a railroad horror.
And" continued the young lady,
papa is out of his head all the time.
He thinks that the Great Seal of China
is here in San Jose and that the Chinese
Emperor is going to pay him $4,000
for it."
This spur sent Wilson's hack hurry
ing off to the home of the Unitarian
minister. 'Tt would be just like Levy"
''wes' murmured, ito die before I can

At the house he found all in con-
fusion. Levy could not be seen. No

nificantly, the doctor whispered to his
friend: Just a case OF plain jag, but
it's a tremendous one. And say" said
the physician by way OF humorous af-
terthought, .it doesn't seem to be a
case of snakes, but Of the great seal Of
China. There are dragons on 1t, you
know" and the doctor laughed.
But. Doc" insisted Wilson, there's
something in that great seal story,
and Levy is the only man in town who
appears to know anything about it, /
must see him. And see him he did.

practicable number the city offices
filled by election.
Merit System Approved
We further hold that the merit
system of appointment has edemon-
strated, wherever honestly applied,
that it tends to result In the selec-
ton and retention in office of higher
grade of men than are obtained by
other means that 1t opens the public
service as an honorable career, free
from the distractions OF politics, and
that it tends to relieve the citizens
from the possibility of tyranny by
Office holders.
Holding the propositions advanced
to be self-eyident In theory and amply
demonstrated in practice, we, there
fore, now urge In the interest OF bet
ter municipal conditions;
First-That cities should be granted
the largest possible measure of home
rule, subject only to such general
statutory safeguards and restrictions
as may be necessary to protect the
general interests of the state as dis
tinglished from the local interests of
the municipality.
Second-That the party column on
the ballot should be abolished; that
the names Of candidates for single
Office should be. printed on the ballot
under the designation of that office,
and that it should be made impos-
sible to vote straight party ticket
by single mark or cross.
Third--That municipal nominations
and elections should be completely
separated from state and national
nominations and elections and should
occur at different times. And that
nominations for all municipal Offices
be made by petition or by an efficient
method Of direct primaries.
Fourth-That the number of cleo
tive municipal officers should be re-
duced as far as practicable, always
preserving the right to elect mem
bers of the municipal legislative body
or city council.
Fifth-That the merit principle
should be applied to all departments
of city administration under practical
anu tlHtlNHl ClNil SClflCC laws.
In conclusion, this conference, real
izing the vital importance of the sue
cessful solution of the municipal
problems now confronting us, earnest
! ly hopes that consideration and dis
cussion OF them may continue and tC
that end urges the formation of more
organizations devoted to local issues
which shall cooperate in all practica
ways to secure the enactment of law.
