II is true that a number of women

extensively. but by no means IS It TO
be as popular as the princess dress
has been Nor Is the princess gown
out Of vogue-far from ii. although wide
girdles and narrow belts are all stnl
in fashion No woman IS willing 70 re
strict herself TO one particular style OF
dress, for there must be variety in all
departments.
A white lace gown is sure TO be both
useful and attractive, and the debu-
taute especially should unquestionably
have such a gown in her outfit a pret-
ty model for a lace dress has a bodice
of white brocade ribbon of some delicate
cOlOrng with shoulder straps and long
sash ends Of the same ribbon A bit
of the silk can also be turned about the
lace finished perhaps with some bow
knots or rosettes OF the ribbon laid on
just above the hem. If there is a fiounce
it can be headed with a soft roll OF the
ribbon and caught up here and there
in little rOsettes. a young girl Will find

THE END OF ACTIVITY

Senator Chancey Depew of New
York, the prominent corporation
attorney and wonderfully eloquen
orator, now about IL years old,
run his course. His mind is Civ :
way and his usefulness is gone.
For many years Mr.. Depew has
been prominent character in New
York. No social gathering or ban
quet among the elite was complete
with out his presence and 40 cor
poration felt safe without consulting
the great lawyer.
Now that great mind refuses to do
its work and Depew is a mental
wreck. 1t is sad but true that in
telligence and culture are no barriers
to mental collapse, but rather seem
to foster it. So frequently we see
the brightest mind snap under the
strain and its possessor become but
a child or worse, intellectually,
while he of mediocre mind holds his
own through many years. However
Mr.. Depew has lived out more than
the allotted span in the full posses
sion of all his faculties and has no |
reason to complain. While he has
lived more in a year than the ordi-
nary man in three or four.

THIRD TERM Ell?

Gel. Lyon, the head and front
and about the whole thing of the
Republican party of Texas, says,
the south is stror ely for Roosevelt
for another term, and that whether
he is willing or not when he realizes
that all these reforms he has inau-
gurated are not yet accomplished
and that the people demand that he
stay another term in order to push
his great undertakings to full com.
pletion, he viii submit. He further
says that Roosevelt may not be able
to carry Texas but that he will give
it wonderful shaking up.
Really we are about of the same
opinion, Much of the work under
taken by the President will not be
completed by the time of the pa
tional convention and who can be
got who can carry these reforms
along like he will. Who of all our
prominent men will the people trust
like they trust Roosevelt.
A mistake might be made and all
the greund gained be lost. Rocse-
welt hes been thoroughly tried and
never found wanting. He has the
nerve and the force of character to
turn down the biggest man in the
land if he finds him on the wrong
side ofa4uestion of right and wrong.
He heeds not the warning Of the
politician nor wavers at the big cor
poration attorney. He may make a
mistake but hesitates not to correct
1t. He is powerful factor for the
6etterment and publication of the
political atmosphere and for the OBJ
literatioa of graft in the public SER
wee.
Republican success would be as
sured from the start with him at the
head of the ticket. The grafters and
ringsters would be relegated to the
rear and the better element rheld to
the front. No mistake would be
made in continuing Roosevelt an
other term. Neither would it do
violence to precident.

REYOU CONSTANT

There has been great cry raised
in this country against the Standard
Oil company and its methods, and
most just one. About every body.
but the immediate. employees of this
great concern, lay off a half day
now and then just to cuss the great
octopus that is sapping our life
blood, etc.. etc., etc. You remem-
Der those epithets that the pops used
SO freely in their palmy days and
now we Republicans think so apt.
We all cuss the octopus now and
swear what we would do for il if we
we're only in1the position that some
men are. How, had we the power,
we would all like to WELD a big
double handed two edged sword and
chop the head off the monster and
make dog feed of its body. Yes, we
would all be glad to do these great
things and make our names immor-
tai as Perseus of old.
Yet, while we dream of the i'm
possible and figure on the great
things we would like to do, are we
not forgetting and ignoring the real
things we might dor
We stand on the.street corner and |
berate corporations in general and

ular and turn to our grocer and
order five gallon can of this octo-
pus oil when we could just as well

way or the other. That is very true

the townships which. are traversed
or crossed by electric lines, has been
from IS to 100 per cent. William
Perrine, the owner of four farms
which are crossed by two of the
different electric roads, says that it
has increased the price of land very
much, and that his tenants are get
ting better prices for their produce,
HOW A MAN WAS FOOLED
An amusing incident is related by
prominent official of a banking in
stitution a. Norwalk, of a man who
opposed the building of an electric
roads, saying that he wanted TO sci
his farm and that it would ipjure the
sale of the same. AS soon as the
road was assured, he sold his farm.
A year after the road was in opera
ton he bought the same farm back
at an advanced price of $40 an
acre.
When the Norwalk, Milan & San.
dusky road was first built on the
public highway, they had difficulty
in getting consents for franc hise.
Two years after the road was built,
they concluded to shorten their
route by crossing the county,
a much shorter line. Some of the
very people who AFFECTED to the
building of the rroad appeared be-
fore The commissioners and claimed
their farms would be damaged to an
extent of $40 to SIS per acre if the
.road we're removed. ---Interurban

STATE SOPr'S DECISIONS


State Superintendent Dayhoff has
rendered decision that teachers
resignation does not take effect un
til it is accepted by the school
board. This gives school officers
weapon to prevent school marms
from breaking their contracts and
getting married in the middle of a
term. 1t has been the custom of
teachers to quit their schools when
ever they chose to marry. They
would simply tender their resigna-
ton, pick up their traps and march
from the schoolhouse to the altar.
They would not wait to have their
designations accepted. In many
cases this has lnterfered with school
AFFAIRS. The boards have frequent
ly had trouble in finding teachers to
take their. places.
Mr.. Dayhoff holds that the con-
tract between a teacher and the
board can not be broken simply by
teacher resigning. The resigna-
ton must be accepted in order to
revoke the old contract. If a, teach
er jumps her contract she can be
held fer damages. 1t is also held
that school board cannot dis
charge teacher without giving her
a hearing. This is the other end of
the proposition. 1t protects the
teacher. Occasionally a school
board unceremoniously Gusts a
teacher without notice. The law
sets forth several reasons for which
teacher may be discharged, but
the superintendent declares that the
teacher must be given hearing and
q fair trial.
The superintendent also holds
that parents are responsible for the
conduct of their children while at
school unless they notify the tru-
ancy officer in writing that the chill
dren are beyond their control. This,
lin substance, is another decision
handed down by the state supern-
tendent. 1t seems that certain
school boy became unruly at the
school building and damaged GER
tain property belonging to theschool.
The board asked father to make
good the damage. He refused, say
that while the boy was at school he
was under the jurisdiction of the
school officers. The state superIn-
tendent says that this does not re-
lieve the parent. He is responsible
for any damage done by his child
unless he has given the truancy of.
fcer notice i'm writing that the boy
is beyond his control and turns him
over to the truancy officer.

MAY BE ACCOUNTED FOR

The shortages in the state treas
ury on their face seem pretty bad
and we think wrong impression
has been made on the minds of
good many people.
|, 1t does not seem that any proof
has been brought forth that either
Grimes or Kelley took, wrong
fully from the treasury single dol
lor. 1t is true the report of the
special accountant shows an ap-
parent shortage of seventy odd
thousand dollars, but up to date
nearly all of this shortage has been
shown to arise from interest cupons
that were clipped from school fund
bonds by brokers before they ever
reached the state treasury,
There may have been a little
graft on these bonds among the
brokers and bankers before they
reached the state treasurer and some
of these fellows may be made to put
up to some body, but the state never
lost anything by transaction. There
seems to have been a very loose
slipshod manner of keeping these
records that they do not show in
full all the details. or course we
all understand that in few, at least,
of these transaction it is better that
we should not know all the details.
Bntfsurely the records show what
coupons are short if any on bond
purchase and what became of the
missing coupons and why they were
detached. This would remove any
appearance of graft and it would be
no trouble to keep trace of every
transaction when it is start I'd
right and the expensive investiga
tons could usually be avoided.
Some seem to be censuring Gov.
Hoch for not taking immediate ac-
ton in the matter. The Governor
seems to be taking exactly the right
course iiethe gentlemen are wrong.
fully accused and can show that they
are by having little time, the com.
raon dictates of right say let them
have ample time to explain these
transactions and establish their ex-
plantations by testimony. Neither
of these gentlemen has any pressing
business in Mexico and they are
likely to be here when wanted for
an explanation.

For the VERY BEST
Ph0tOgraphS 20 to

Very soon now the Roll'n refinery
expects to have on the market a
supply of Kansas oil and Kansas
gasoline made right here in Neoseo
county and expect to be able to
supply all demands in this city. A
little later our own refinery, south
of the city, is expected TO be ready
for business.
When this is all accomplished,
there will be no trouble for our
merchants to get the independent
oil to sell and no trouble for our
citizens to get it in preference to the
Standard oil. Will we do this or
will we continue buying the octopns
oil as we always have and let our
local refiners seek market where
they can find it. We think Kansas
men will be true to their state and
true to their home and use the oil |
that is made at home. when they
think little on the subject.
