Cornell Is excited over a proposal of the male undergraduates to exclude "coeds" from participation in ordinary college activities. The girls are charming personally, but they spoil class interests. A permanent segrega- tion of the sexes is demanded by the male students with practical unani- mity not only in class instruction but in every other sphere They have or ganized to snub. isolate, ignore and bar out coeds, but this having been in. effecttal they are demanding stronger measures. It Is promised in regard to coeducation that 1t will refine" the boys but college boys want their fling and don't wish to be refined. They prefer congenial savagery.

Now we are told that some one has in- vented and perfected a microscope of twice the power of anything before known to science. From one point of view this is to be regretted. The num- Der and variety of micrs&As and other small cattle that have been discovered and classified. has become a weayiness to the flesh, but now we may reason ably expect to hear and read of an in numerable multitude of new ones to harass us. Will they keep on until man will be able to discovct and segre- gate the ultimate beginning of matter?

Commenting on The Advertisers en- tanglement over the Roosevelt Bryan Hearst combination, The Columbus Led ger says:
 Don't be alarmed. friend There is no cause fer il. The Democracy may make mistakes at times, but never so serious d mistake as you seem to fear in this particular. sWhen the free and untrammeled representatives of the party meet in convention next year they will have learned wisdom by the experiences of the past, and while their every act may not be such as some of us might wish. we feel safe in predicting that nothing of SO seri- ous nature will be done as to keep any good Democrat from joining forces with them and doing all he can for the success of the ticket nominated We have that much faith in the De- mocracy of the nation.
 We didn't say we were alarmed, for we have practically passed that point. We were merely trying to convey the over what sometimes looks to us like an attempt to form what we might call an unholy combination. The break of John Temple Graves was the first real jolt we have received. The at tempt to hitch Bryan and the Dem ocratic party in harness with Roose- welt was so nauseous dose that we have been surprised to find some Dem ocrats endorsing 1t. The only thing that can be said of it is that 1t would be a short cut to political hari-kari. and perhaps that Is what some of them desire. Seeing no hope of success they evidently prefer quick suicide to slow annihilation- We don't fancy the program.

 Lauderdale was the first county in the state to take up the suggestion of building new school houses under the recent law. Within a few weeks after the law was enacted applications were received for the fund more than suf- ficient to consume the thousand dollar approximation. The Times promptly took up the matter and tha people re- sponded nohly. It Is safe to say that our county will continue to build each succeeding year to fully meet the state apnroprintion.

It Is said that he is consider ing plan for stopping State railroad busters like Conner and Smith from monkeying with the busting of the railroads. so that he may do it all him self. No doubt the reformers who are still out of office will think that such action is terrible and wrong Mean while the dear people are wondering where they come in except at election time when their votes are needed to help the reformers in.

the first jolt when MT. Bryan himself gave us another by practically endors- ing Hearst and his Independence League. If the New York editor has ever been really a. Democrat he has gotten bravely over 1t. and the sug- gestion that Democrats, should treat him and his League as allies" is not encouraging to those of us who be- lieve that Democracy Is something more than a name.
 We admire the optimism of our con- temporary and hope it is justified. but we cannot refrain from fear. With some Democrats advocating Govern ment ownership. some clamoring for the initiative and referendum, some still holding to the free silver fallacy, some even condoning the centralizing policies of Roosevelt, where is the common ground upon which all can get together and upon which the gen. uine, old time Democrats can stand with them? There is so much among Democrats that is not really Demo-
 
 unable to see where the common plat form Is to be formulated. If there is to be agreement and harmoAy some must give up theories which they tnink are wholly correct, and who is to do the giving up ,and who is to wiel1 the wedding hoe?
 We have not lost faith in Democ- racy, nor have we yet lost hope that some common ground exists upon which all of us may get together and work in harmony. Certainly there has not within recent years been time when the good of the country and the Government stood more in need of change of administration, but there is now such confusion and disagreement among Democrats that one should not be condemned for feeling gloomy. Per haps there is a Moses who can lift up the rod of genuine Democracy for all the faithful to rally around, but he is not visible to our eyes.

The catfish fry promised us this

spring. This information Mr.. Ball
received in . letter from the bureau

being q shortage Of fry. However, a
liberal supply is promised when they
