The school board can make no mis-
take in granting the request of the
high school seniors, who have asked
that caps and gowns be adopted for
graduates hereafter. The cap and gown
Is the sensible dress for all graduates,
whether they are leaving high school
or the biggest university in the land.
The custom is in vogue in many of the
larger high schools of the country to-
day, and those in charge of the schools
would not think of going back to the
old way of eXtravagant overdress. BY
the cap and gown method no pupil is
better dressed than another, and some
girl whose parents are not able to at
ford her the Injuries, need not fee.
that she can not do as well as her
classmate. If caps and gowns are con-
sidered elegant enough for the grad
yates of the colleges and universities
Of the country they surely should sat
isfy in small high school.
If Committeeman Devine had had
his way In the meeting of the county
central committee, the caucuses for
choosing delegates to the presidential
delegate convention would have been
virtual primaries open for several

strongly, and the members from the
country believed in shorter caucuses
and voted to let the committeeman call
them.
If the travelling men are willing to

A travelling man has asked the T.-R.
to amplify its sermon upon patroniZ-
ing the home business by including the
home travelling man. His argument is
that the travelling men who live in
Marshalltown have salaries aggregat-
ing fully 100000 per year, which are
spent here, and he thinks that it would
be good business policy for local
merchants to favor local statesmen
wherever possible He is right. The
salesman who does we'll in a town likes
the town and boosts for it, The bust
ness man who makes money in
town spends 1t there He puts 1t back
in the town for investment while the
man who makes money outside of town
usually invests his profits outside as
well. Don't. be afraid to help the 9TH
err fellow prosper. 1t is bound to react
in prosperity for us all.

SALOON FIGHT UP
TO COUNCIL

1t is expected that the Inland
brewery application for saloon IL
cense in the shallow of the new Y.
M. c. A. building will come before
the council tonight The associa-
ton has made a hard fight for
some time to keep saloon out OF
it's doorway. but the brewery is de-
termined to stick one there If it
can bring enough influence to bear
on the council.
The Y. M. c. A. is maintaining a
regularly organized school at its
headquarters and the saloon is
within the limit distance fixed by
law for saloons in relation to edu-
cational institutions. If the coun-
Gil grants the license fight is
likely to result over the legal point
involved. A saloon at the same
location, in the Lincoln, was closed
a year ago on a lease provision pro-
tecting the property from such
uses, but this decision was over
ruled by the supreme court, and
the brewery company has been
making a steady effort to get back
ever since.

All!next week laboring men will
devote much time to raising
money for the temple. There Is al
ready considerable money in the

The site contains more ground
than will be needed for the tenn

balance of money which the unions
have their own time to pay up.
