Say "ShOw Mev' on Tights Bill.

The members of the Wisconsin Assem-
bly, may not be from Missouri, but they
belong to the ''show me" class. This was
demonstrated when the Hughes anti
tights bill, requiring actresses and ballet
dancers to wear skirts falling at least
four inches below their knees when ap-
pearing in public, came up for considera-
ton. The measure was referred to the
judiciary committee, with the recommend
alton that it be referred to the commit
tee on claims, with instructions to amend
it so as to provide an appropriation suf-
ficient to employ a troupe of actresses,
thirty chorus girls and 100 ballet dancers
to give a demonstration showing the pres
ent musical comedy method of dress and
the method prescribed by the bill, before
the committee on public health and sani-
tation. The plan created much amuse-
ment and the bill was referred amid loud
laughter.

FRANK FISHER HOME
AFTER LONG ABSENCE
Makes Short Tour Through His
District After Convention at
Oshkosh.
Will Remain Here Until After
Labor Day-Then to do Or
ganizing Work. :

Frank Fisher, president of District
Council No. 7, second district, Inter-
national Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers, arrived home Sunday from
the Twin Cities.
After the recent convention Mr..
Fisher visited the headquarters of the
brotherhood at Springfield, Ill.,, where
he conferred with the general officers.
He reports that the convention was
well attended, all but a few locals in
the four states comprising the district
having representation. One of the
principal acts Of the convention was
the passing of an amendment increas-
ing the monthly dues and the per
capita tax. Besides, all subordinate
unions will pay into the district treas
ury 81 for each member admitted by
initiation! With the increased rev.
enue provided from these sources, tho
electricians hope TO carry on a CAM
paign of organization.
A special organizer was appointed
by the council, who will spend the six
months beginning November /, among
the electrical workers of Wisconsin,
where there is said to be a wide field
for his efforts. Ernest Rutherford of
Milwaukee was the choice of the dele
gates. Wisconsin is poorly organized
In all lines. and the electrical work.
ers are far behinds some Of the other
labor organizations, but the proposed
work Of the special organizer is ex-
pected to produce great results.
Mr. Fisher will spend all his time
for the next few months in an effort
TO build up his organization in Minne-
sofa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Mr. Fisher will remain in Duluth until
after Labor Day. He will then pro-
coed to Mankato, where The expects
to institute local union, preparations
for which are already under way. Mr.
Fisher will take a flying trip from
Mankato to Ashland. where another
local union will be started, after
which he will go to Grand Forks and
Fargo, N. D. Several weeks will be
spent in that territory, and Mr. Frshe,
says he will spend at least six months
In work already mapped out. He has
been busy the last week meeting the
officials. of the :, different unions ir
Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Mr.. Fisher enjoys the distinction OF
being the only officer OF the council
to be reelected, having been chosen
again without opposition. P. s.. Blk.

lected as the meeting place for tn.

Racine. Preacher Says Sermon on
Mount Is 1nappicable to
Present Civilization.
Nation Is Too Young For Ances-
try-Too Practical For Piety :
Too Much Selfishness. =

The warden OF Racine (Wis.) COL
lege preached a sermon last Sunday
on "The Poor in Spirit, . and showed
how the first six words of the Sermon
on the Moun MT were wholly inappli-
cable to the present civilization, built
up az it is on the struggle, for money.
In other words, the teachings of
Christ had to be taken. with several
grains Of salt by the people ruled by
modern. capitalism, Taking up the
words: =. Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon EARTH" he said: : *
TREASURED! It occupies the center
of the stage today. Men write books
about it, tell how It may be acquired
and how it may be- retained. Every
day new forms Of cornmercialisn
arise. new ways Of gaining treasures.
We wonder at the fertility of the
brains that devise them. Over the
mountains. and under the seas pass
swift messages that shallsenable men
to seek, to gain, and to store up!
Modern civilization. with it's enormous
store of applied arts ond sciences, Is
almost wholly due to the desire for
treasure. The desire for the accumu-
lation Of wealth is in the. air.. It is: the
backbone Of our national philosophy.
Men are not considered successful
until they attain It," u.
Continuing, DR.. Robinson declared:
80 prevalent is the desire for money
that It has come to be national vul-
garity..;SWe are too young for ances-
try too commercial. for: learning toe
practical for piety, abut youth { and
commerce and practical common sense
make q splendid trinity in the equip
ment of the money getter.'' g :.
This is certainly looking the actua

The Worst of Education.

When the new and the old school meet, there is likely to be a clash of opinions, and so the miller, Brown, found the other day when Farmer Jackson sent his young son across to the mill with a sack of corn which he wished ground into meal. Like the miller, the mill was of the old, leisure ly school, and only a tiny stream of meal trickled out. The young man waxed impatient.
 What a millv' he said, with scorn. "Why, I could eat the meal quicker than this ramshackle old concern of yours can grind it!'
 Aye said Miller Brown, "but how long couldst keep it up, lad?''
 "Till I starved!' was the trenchant answer.
 And when Miller Brown had puzzled out the inwardness of the remark he concluded that lads nowadays were "gettin' power too sharp wi their tongues. ."-London Express.

Some young women il England have begun to dress out and out like men. They wear long coat cut like hunt ing coat, cap, riding brooches and top boots. It is handsome costume, and 1t Is not immodest, hut undoubtedly it attracts a good deal of attention. They have been telling in London story about girl who adopted this. riding rig. Pulling up her horse one after noon, she said to an artisan who was passing, Gan you tell me if this is the way to WarehamT' The man look ed her over carefully, then he touched his cap in respectful manner and re piled, "Yes, miss, yes-you seem to lave got 'enl on all right"

The Scotch Sabbath.

An English artist, travelling profes- sionally through Scotland. had occa- sion to remain over Sunday in a small town in the north. To while away the time he walked out short way in the environs. where the picturesque ruin of a castle met his eye. He asked a countryman who was passing to be so good as to tell him the name of the castle. The reply was somewhat start ling "Its mo- the day to be asking sic things"'
 Another good story of Scottish ob- servance of the Sabbath is told by a clergyman. "A minister of the kirk declared in public that at a country hotel he wished the window raised so that he might get some fresh air, but the landlady would not allow it, saying, 'Ye can hae no fresh air here on the Sawbeth.'"
