After q man discovers how little he

What has become of the old-fash-
Toned mother who took q good deal

If the jury doesn't return verdict

Father doesn't care much for frills

This world will never be just right

You are thoughtful, and may be

While there has been a good deal of
complaint about the long hatpins wo-

as they fear a woman's tears.
Miss Susette Wilkins, formerly of

day came when 1t was possible to
speak of his desire, and of the ro-
nance he had builded from the rose

love from somewhat insignificant
pookkeeper to a brave wooer.

TRAINING FOR PUBLIC SERVICE

Through it's committee on educa-
ton, the New Jersey State Civic fed
Grafton has appealed to the managers
of educational institutions in the state
to establish a course of civtcs for the
training of young men for the proper
handling of public questions. This is
a matter that it might not be amiss
for the educational institutions of
Kansas and other states to consider.
The letter sent out by the New Jersey
federation says:
1.-THE records of various municipal
governments, as disclosed in public
print in the last three years, have
been such as to call serious attention
to the inadequacy of present methods
of administering public funds and re-
cording these in straightforward
accounting to the people. Realizing
that the only remedy lies in an edu-
Gated and expert management and
control of municipal affairs, the New
Jersey State Civic federation suggests
the establishment of a course as shall
prepare young men for an intelligent
grasp of the powers and duties of the
administrative side of a municipality,
and fitting them to assume, as experts,
the problems of accounting in city
affairs"

VERY RAW.

BY what sort of mental jiu jitsu
can the Pacific telephone company
justify its action in swearing thai
its local plant is worth less than
$4,000 when It is being assessed
and then cody declaring it is worth
over $4,000 when its rates are un-
der consideration Under the laws
of Oregon property is to be assessed
at full valuation. Officers of the
phone company made affidavits be-
fore the eualizatiop board that the
value of their physical property was
less than $4,000. Now comes the
district manager and cody declares
those figures we're incorrect or In
other words that the company lied to
the assessor. The company is stan
dardizing" it's rates and now sets a
valuation of $4,000 upon its local
business. Such incidents as this
serve nightly to destroy the conf
dence which people have in the ac-
curacy of statements made by cor
porations They also show the need
of a commission having power to
regulate the service and the rates OF
corporations having natural monopo-
lies as does the telephone company
