WORLD OR woMEN-wmcH WILL CHANGES

1t does not seem unreasonable to expect
women In the long run to give to the big
world something Of their own natures. 1t is
only what they have done in the home. That
is why the homes where they are queens are
thought refined and beautiful and why the big
outside world where they are slaves is called
hard and cold. But even If women should
not do much to soften the big world the nat

CARNATIONS and a past master In the
art of collecting campaign corruption

declare itself in favor of the publicity

candidate fits the platform TO a

The democrats now have the op-
portunity o. years to write a plat

1t is evident that the Index feels
eiated over the. result and is in
eiined to crow over The Journal be
cause it espoused the cause of some
OF the defeated candidates. But it
suits The journal to have warm state
campaigns; they wake the people up
and set them thinking; they come
gut to hear the speakers and they
learn much regarding public issues by
listening to such speakers as Fetch
er, Broward, Stockton and others.
They get ideas upon public policies

case, what their fathers and grand
fathers thought. Yes, The Journal

Republican Platform
Is a Wonder.

Some of the old Bible critics said
that you could prove anything by the
/ Bible; that no text could be found
which could not be disputed by some
other text We never took much
stock in what the critics said about
the Bible, but the same criticism an
piled to the record of the republican
party and to the platform which II
has just adopted would be most fit
and proper.
The republican platform OF 1908 is
a wonder 1t is neither milk nor
water: 1t calls for tariff revision in
one breath and takes it back in an
other. 1t tries to be conservative on
the one hand and it throws out a few
SopS to the radicals on the other. IT
proclaims the honesty of the party
but it does not say a word about the
publicity of campaign contributions.
The publicity plank was in fact re-
Jected by an overwhelming vote. 1t
contains an antiinjunctio1 nIank
with a string tied TO it-one of the
kind that it can use to catch votes
but can pun in whenever it becomes
dangerous to republican interests. 1t
declares in favor o. a postal savings
bank-an idea that the populists stole
from the socialists, that the demo
Gratis stole from the populists. and
that the republicans have now apprc-
priated from the democrats. The
platform makers rejected the plank
calling Cor the direct election of
United States senator's, and Senator
LaFollette denounces the platform as
disappointing both in fundamental
provisions and omissions"
Altogether We believe the republi-
can platform is going 10 prove a dis
appointment. Tt is neither radical
nor conservative, and it commits the
party 10 no special policy which could
not be cast aside whenever the in
terests from which the party draws
its sinews of war should demand
that it be done. To the western re-
publicans particularly it must prove
a sore disappointment

ODDFELLOWS TO CELEBRATE
VIII Observe Anniversary and Burn
Mortgage next Friday Evening.

Local Oddfellows are making
elaborate preparations for a social
to be given in the public hall next
Friday evening, May 8. The oc-
casion is to celebrate the burning
of $500 mortgage on their hall
property, which was recently taken
up. The local lodge is now out of
debt and they feel like celebrating.
1t was planned to have their cele-
bration on April 26, the date of the
seth anniversary of the order, but
as there was so much going on at
that time, it was postponed until
the date given above.
All Rebekahs and Oddfeliows,
whether members of the local lodge
or not, are invited.
All Oddfellows who are members
of Utopia Lodge No. SO are entitl-
ed to invite two guests each.
Members are requested to call on
the committee and secure two
printed invitations and leave the
names of their guests with the com
mittee so that no two will invite
the same.
Members are requested to at
tend to the matter at once.
The entertainment will be en-
tirely social, except short exercises
in connection with the burning of
the mortgage. An orchestra will
be in attendance and refres hments
will be served.
The social will commence
promptly at $50 with progressive
cards.
Members of the lodge are re-
quested to be present at the meet
ing tonight without fail.
The HERALD has been requested
by the committee in charge to
make the announcements herein
contained.
