It Is . lamentabie fsct that Ne
braska, one of the great agricultural
states of the Union, Is behind other
Western States in teaching scientific
farming. This negligence on the part
of the states lawmakers is partly due
to combining the State University with
the so called Agricultural College.
That branch of the university where
scientific farming is taught is nothing
more than an annex to the greater in
stitution of learning and has complete
" lost its identity BY combining the
two. What the state needs, and the
people should demand, is an agricul-
tural college separate and distinct
from the State University, located 1t
q point somewhere in the North Platte
Country. The twoinstitutions in Iowa
are separate and have no connection
whatever. The agricultural college of
Iowa, established At Ames in 1868,
has grown into one of the strongest
institutions of the kind in the country.
This year 24OO students are enrolled,
the number exceeding the enrolment
of the Iowa State University. At the
Ames college are students from nearly
every state in the Union and many
from foreign lands. A few years ago
the Sultan of Turkey established an
agricultural department for his empire,
and thirty graduates from the Iowa
Agricultural College entered the ser.
vice of the Turkish government. The
time has come for Nebraska to pay
more attention to progressive farming
and less attention to progressive poll.

JOHNSON AND JEFFERSON.

As it is the policy of Republican
campaign orators to set great store by
the wisdom and works of Abraham
Lincoln, so does the Democratic wind.
TANNER take the name and ideas Of
Thomas Jefferson as his guiding star:
And it is usually just policy upon the
part of the speakers, plea for votes
by holding up the ideals of the great
est party has-been. Therefore, when
Governor johnson recommended in
his Louisville speech the other night,
that the Denver convention should
adopt a platform according to the
Jedersonian plans and specifications,
he was really sparring for time; it
didn't mean much. all Democrats
are Jefferson Democrats, and al Re-
publicans are Lincoln Republicans -
when they talk. No one disputes the
greatness of these two statesmen, but
their ideas and policies were of an
other time and condition, and if it
wouldn't be too great q blow to ora
tory, it would be q mark of kindness
and respect to give their names . rest.
But, returning to Johnson's Louis
vile speech, the. Minnesota governor
made other assertions more to the
point, and of importance in outlining
his platform. In fact, he probably
stated one side of the issue which will
be threshed out at Denver. Since it
is likely to be johnson or Bryan, with
Johnson's smaller chance growing,
what the former stands for is of more
importance just now that what Jeffer-
son thought about it. johnson took .
rap at Bryan, and didn't hurt himself,
when he said that government owner.

ed against As the evils charged against
the corporations. He added that ex.
pediency never got nation anything,
and never will; that it never got the
Democratic party anything, and never
will. All in all, his ideas seem to be
those of . conservative man. Bryan
is . we'll. known radical, although he
doesn't believe it. Therefore, it is
these two elements, rs well Is these
two men, which will be struggling for
the mastery Of the Democratic party
in the coming convention.-Atchison

ally, but the principal If local option
is decided. What they went through
thirty years ago in Massachusetts, il
now being repeated in the South.
Thirty million people in the United
States are living under "dry con.
ditions" rs against three millions only
. few years ago. The prohibition
party has made such tremendous gains
that it is in = position to demand con.
cessiohs from both the old parties.
Mr.. Bryan has already capitulated to
the Prohibitionists, and Is far Is he
can control the platform at Denver,
it will be made to suit the idea that
saloons are . menace to the good Of
the community, both from q business
and moral standpoint. As the Demo.
cratic states have been heading
straight for sumptuary temperance
legislation, the Republican states have
been going the other way, towards
what is called personal liberty" 1t
is quite possible, in fact probable, un-
less the national Democratic conven-
ton acts more warily in this matter
than is now likely, and especially if
the Republican convention refuses to
be influenced by the prohibitory de.
mand, the temperance question may
cut considerable ice in the national
campaign. The same kind of . fight
is going on in England, where the
proposition ofthe Liberal government
to recall all licenses after q period of
years is being fiercely contested. The
Church Of England Temperance So.
ciety has approved the bill, which
gives some ground to believe that the
church is friendly to the Liberal bill
on the general proposition that clergy.
men will support anything labelled
temperate, be it good or bad. Most
clergymen do believe strongly in tenn.
perance and know better than any
class in the community the necessity
for it, but the majority are not too
easy to stampede nowadays; they take
the position of Dean Hole, the we'll
known English churchman, who one
time when he was being pestered by
teetotalers who reproached him for not
joining their body, said: Because
you have water. on the brain Is no
reason Why I should shave my head"

NOW CHANGED.

Ifsome political Rip Van Wrinkle
who had been asleep for the past dozen
years should suddenly waken and be
told that the Democrats had decided
to hold their national convention this
year in Denver, he would declare that
Denver was the place of al places for
such . gathering. Is not Colorado

states of the Union, and were not the

limited coinage of silver at the holy
ratio of Is to l.
But the man who has been snoozine
away ever since the campaign of 1896
would be in for . tremendous surprise.
When he went to sleep Bryan Was
shouting himself hosrse for free silver;

The New jersey Democrats, in state
convention assembled, after handing
Mr.. Bryan q lemon, proceeded to co.,
denim President Roosevelt for doing
things which, in their opinion, he ought
not to have done, and for leaving un.
done things he should have done.
The criticism of the president was
according to the Jersey idea of what is
wrong and what is right, and agrees,
in some respects, to the opinion Mr..
Bryan entertains of the presidents
official acts. It will be remembered
that in 1905, when Everett Colby cut
loose from the Republican machine in
New Jersey. and undertook to intro.
duce some much needed reforms in
state Affairs, he was opposed by the
very men in that state who are now so
rampant for the Peerless Leader; not
only was Colby opposed by the Bryan
Democrats, but he was also fought by
that wing of the party now SO
pronounced against the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan. New Jersey will be
against Bryan in the Denver conven-
ton, but the crowd opposing him has
no better standing than the fellows
who are shouting for him. There's
room for reform in both political par
ties in New Jersey.

LACE scARFs FOR THE NECK.
Provide Protection for the Decorations
of the Throat.

One of the dress difficulties of the
year is the discoloring of white neck
flXings by the black furs which are
so much worn. A silk or lace scarf
Of some kind, to protect the white col
lar or guimpe, is almost a necessity.
Small silk lace scarfs can be had
in almost any size and quality for this
purpose, and the mousseline, crepe
and silk scarts are also serviceable.
Such a scarf is small covering only
the back and sides of the collar, the
ends tucking inconspicuously down in
the coat front
Knitted silk scarfs in pale colors
and white have come in this year for
THIS purpose. They have silk-fringed
ends and look very well, besides amply
protecting the spotlessness of the
throat decorations.

Newest White Waists,

The newest and smartest white
waists are made of crepe de chine,
tucked or gathered or plated quite
like those of lingerie, and sometimes
decorated with lace or hand embroi-
derry. Such waists are being worn by
all the fashionable Parisiennes in
place OF the lace or lingerie waists,
and are considered decidedly more
chic. Usually they are made up over
a lining of thin taffeta or china silk.
which gives them the necessary
body" Without some such aid the
crepe de chine waist clings rather un.
pleasantly TO the figure, revealing un-
beautiful angles quite as readily and
unkindly as a superhuity of flesh,
and somehow lacking the air of smart
ness that one instincuvely looks for
in waist intended for wearing with
a coat suit.

SMART COMBS AND PINS,
Seasons Styles Are Adapted to Both
Blondes and Brunettes.

The plain amber-colored combs and
pins for the blonde girl and those in
dark shell for the brunettes are en-
tirely correct this winter.
The combs are smarter when made
with plain tops without knobs or other
decorations.
The button pins are used where the
hair is worn on top of the head. The
top part Of these pins turns back over
the hair in fiat piece OF shell like a
large button.
The effect Is very good.
For keeping flying ends of the hair
at home are shown corkscrew pins
of amber-strange looking things that
screw into the hair in spiral fashion.

would come out again. But they are,
in fact, comparatively easy of adjust

Scarfs in Favor.

Scarfs will be worn more and more
as spring approaches and furs are
packed away, so it's well to be pre-
pared.
Very pretty and most serviceable are
the new motor scarfs," made like the
knitted or crocheted scarfs, but worn
about the neck over the collar to pro-
tect it from dust and to give some
little warmth. Special spools of silk
three times the size of the ordinary
spools are to be had for these scarfs,
so that the silk will no1 have to be
Joined anywhere. Made up in white
or any light shade the motor scarfs
are most attractive and are to be
worn by men as well as women to
protect the collar from the dye of a
fur coat. They are from four to six
inches in width and about a yard in
length. A two-inch fringe of the silk
makes an attractive finish to this
smart scarf.

Fascinating Rosettes.

Most fascinating are the rose ros-
cites which every one from the pro.
fessional designer to the girl who re-
models her own frocks is using.
They're simple enough to make. The
material is cut on the bias, then fold
ed around and around, beginning in
the middle, until one reaches the de-
sired size. silk, satin, gauze and
chiffon are appropriate materials, and,
in addition to being used as hat trim.

Lace undersleeuns-

No waist is at the moment consid.
cred entirely satisfactory unless it has
cuffs or lower sleeves of lace. The
lace sleeve may reach from far above
the elbow or 1t may be only a deep
unlined cuff.
The favorite lace for these under.
sleeves is filet, but many other sorts
of lace are used. If the lace Is lined
with black chiffon or black net it
brings out the design to great advan-
tage. Black lace OF an open pattern,
preferably filet, is lined with white,
and SO used is extremely popular for
the undersleeves and extremely be.
coming to the hand and arm.

How to Wear Colors.

The authenticated woman looks best
in the browns that shade into the
tones of her hair or in the rich. dark
green's.
The yellow-haired girl can wear red.
The greens, too, are delightful on her;
also certain yellows and blacks. White
is less becoming.
Blues. particularly the pale and cold
blues, are best adapted to brunettes
whose color Is warm.
The woman whose hair is dull and
whose complexion and eyes lack bril-
liancy may still be attractive II she
wears frocks that harmonize with her
eyes and hair. Usually dull-hnished
materials in browns. blacks and GER
tain shades of blues that match the
eyes are kindest to her.

The oil should first be thoroughly well
rubbed into the skin with a firm cir
cuiar motion, and the arms should
then be briskly frictloned, from
shoulder to wrist, with rubber skin

be regular and sufficiently prolonged.
The blood will quickly come to the
surface of the skin and the arms will
assume most healthy shade of Grim
