Paris fashions are characterized as a
fake by the expert dressmakers of this
country. They say that the Partisan

women. But isn't 1t bit cruel to hold
up American women as being the

so outlandishly ridiculous? Inasmuch
as the honors are of such a really
doubtful quality, why not let them go
to Parisians? They're accustomed to

MAMIE M'LAUGHLIN'S ACQUITTAL
When the New Orleans jury acquit-
ted Mamie Mclaughlin, charged with
the staying of her betrayer, a wealthy
business man. it did not write the So
termed "unwritten law into the stat
utes of Louisiana.
The law of that state does not allow
the killing of man or woman for
any real or fancied wrong to the per-
son of any other man or woman.
In other words it does Dotl egalize

But it does establish this fact:
That in one state at least woman's
honor is equal in the eyes of the law
The verdict of that jury of the
Southland goes far toward establishing
a single standard of morality for both
sexes.
1t also encourages the belief that
the preying of wealthy men of the
town upon the young girls of the

in the South to that vile portion OF
mankind who look upon working girl
as lawful prey.-Wichita Beacon.
CONTINUOUS ADVERTISING.
Continuous advertising is essential
because repetition builds reputation;
convinces as to faith in self and mer-
chandise. 1t establishes in the public
mind the idea of permanency and
provides against the 'out of sight,
out of mind" It fortifies against
competition. open or hidden; breaks
down indifference and opens the way
to intimacy. Repeated assertion I'M
challenged, is accepted as truth. Reg
ularity creates and takes advantage
of subconscious effect on the mind
produced through the eye. Continuous
publicity is reputation continuously

ESPERANTO.

The Esperanto Congress in Wash
ington last week was largely attended
and excited a great deal of public in
terest. The interest was natural. When
body of intelligent men get together
for the purpose of promoting pro-
ject which is easily comprehended, but
must seem, to most of their fellow-be-
ings, impractical and visionary, they
are bound to attract great deal of at
tention. The comments on Esperanto
are generally humorous, but the pro-
meters of the new world language. as
it is called, are not the humorists,
and they are much in earnest.
They believe that the advancement
of civilization would be greatly, helped
by the use. especially in trade, of q
new, universal language, which could
be easily learned. But enough OF any
language can be easily learned for
trade purposes, by one who will apply
himself to the task of sedulously, and
Esperanto cannot be learned without
serious application. OF course, 1t is
no answer to the arguments Of the
Esperantists that languages have never
been made deliberately. but have been
of natural growth. The fact that there
is no precedent for Esperanto does not
detract from its possible merits.-New
York Times.

AN EMPEROR ON WHEELS

Many people will be relieved to find
that German Emperor William is not
going to live in the $1.5O0.00O palace
just completed for him at Posen. His
second son. Eitel Fritz. will make IT
his home just by way of pleasant re-
minder to the conquered Poles that
their name, race, language and ma
tional aspirations are marked for ex-
tinction by the Hohenzollerns.
The emperor has 81 palaces, or, as
some say, 81. The recko ning is con-
fused because he has recently sold two
little half-million- dollar ones. If he
neglects too long to reside in any
one of his homes a prolonged howl
goes up from the local tradesmen, who
do their best business when the fam
fly is in town and soldiers. courtiers
and plain people just "rubbering" at
royalty must be fed and provided with
postcards. Then the Emperor must
sail his yachts. and there are the army
maneuvers to do and the navy to dis
| cipline and his great and good rela-
| tives at other courts to visit. 1t must
| be a relief to so badly overworked an
emperor on wheels that at least there
] is no overwhelming popular demand
| in Poland that he shall go there often

CANDIDATE OF 14AwLEssNEss.

CANDIDATE OF I.AWLESSNESS.
Appeals to Governor Patterson of
Tennessee, to withdraw his candidacy
for a third term are evidently futile,
for that ill-advised and stubborn per-
son seems bent on seeking a win
dication" at the polls. The nomina-
ton by the Tennessee Republicans of
Benjamin w. Hooper has apparently
made an excellent impression upon
Independent Democrats who must be
depended upon to vote against the
present governor, if his sinister am
bition for a third term is to be de-
feated.
That the combination between these
Democrats and the Republicans is not
without great promise of success ap-
pears in the recent election of the in
dependent judiciary ticket, which was
nominated as a rebuke to Governor
Patterson's attempt to coerce the
judges in the Cooper case. A governor
who has made for himself the infa-
nous record of pardoning more than
$50 murderers not only ought to be
made to read Judge Hollis address on
UNPUBLISHED crime in the United States
but he ought to be beaten at the polls
by an overwhelming majority of his
own people.-Springf1e Republican.

Dirty Eggs are grouped in three
classes in a bulletin published by the
Department of Agriculture, at Wash
ington, as we'll as On the market.
%'Plaina dirties" are those to which
soil adherss; stained" are those
soiled by contact with damp straw or
other material discoloring the shell;
stsmeared,' are those covered with
sthe contents of broken eggs. The gov
eminent bulletin says the farmers are
TO blame for putting 'plain dirties' %
and "stained" eggs upon the market,
but that the "smeared" originate all
along the route from the farmer IS
home to the consumer. Every farmer
will learn much about egg production
and the profit in poultry by asking the

ton, to send him "Bureau of ANNA
Industry Circular No. l40," which is

Labor Misplaced.

A writer in one of the current maya
zines deplores the fecundity of the
medical schools. They are turning
out physicians much faster than the
need of the community requires. He
states that while in Germany there is
but one doctor to every 1000 inhabi-
tants, in the United States there is
one to every 586. In our large cities
there is frequently one for each 400
people, and some villages of less than
200 inhabitants have each two or three
physicians.
All our professions are overcrowded.
There are more than enough lawyers
to do the law business and more
clergymen, clerks, writer's, architects
and artists than can find profitable
employment. In fact, there seems to
be redundancy of help in all lines
except in the most highly skilled and
specialized mechanical and technical
employments, on the farms at certain
seasons Of the year and in domestic
service.
1t is probably no worse for the
doctors than it is for the others. The
reason why our professions swarm is
the ambition of the people and the
general desire to shirk manual labor.
There may be the same ambition in
Germany, but the pathway to the
professions there is not so easy. And
besides, better provision is made in
Germany for the permanency of en-
ployment of manual laborers and for
their support in old age, as Mr..
GOmpers has shown in his recent
story of his Investigation of labor
conditions abroad.
We talk much in this country of the
dignity of labor, but our actions show
that we have little respect for the toll
to which the human race was con-
demned when Adam delved and Eve
span. We are all studying how to
avoid it, and our parents are plan
ming to enable us to avoid it from the
moment we enter the world.
What is needed is a real, practical
ennoblement of labor, a recognition
and appreciation of it's dignity and
value. This is to be shown by some
provision whereby the people who do
the necessary work of the world can
be assured of comfortable and decent
living. If this could be done and the
surplus brain and muscle going to
waste in the professions and idling
for easy jobs could be turned to pro-
ductive occupations, there would be
enough food and clothing and shelter
to 60 around, and tumble in high
prices
How this is to be accomplished, we
don't know. 1t is the problem OF the
age. TO it's solution the best thought
and nOblest aspiration must be de-
voted.-Mpls. Tribune.

The harvest season is upon us.
Quite different it is to the times in the
long ago when the whole neighborhood
had to exchange work in order that
the crops might be saved. 1t took five
men to bind the wheat, two to shock it
and two men to ran the reaper, and a
BOY to carry the water. That made
ten people the farmers wife had to
cook for and it took several days to
harvest the big wheat field. Different
varieties of wheat were sown that did
not ripen at the same time and in this
manner the harvesting crew was able
to take care of all the grain in the
neighborhood. After the self rake or
dropper came into vogue it took one
man less to handle the reaping ma
chine. Later on the Marsh harvester
came upon the scene. This was a ma
chine upon which two men rode and
bound the wheat by hand as fast as
the bundles were of sufficient size. In
heavy grain 1t made them hustle.
Then came the moderns binder and
with it an attachment for gathering
the bundles. Now, two men will dc
the work that required ten in the old
days. In the place of cooking for ar
army OF men in harvest time the gooc
housewife sees no difference between
harvest and corn blowing season.
