Sensible School Dress

A social reform club in Seattle has
tackled the problem of simplicity in
school dress and has proposed a uni
form attire for all the girls and boys.
The wisdom for less show and ex-
travagance in children's dress for
school ought to be apparent to every
one who has taken the time to observe
and think on the subject, although we
doubt If the remedy is the one pro-
posed. In the first place the uniform
as contrary in spirit to the principle
of our free institutions, of which the
public school is one. Cadets in some
high schools wear uniforms for mill
tary drill, but that is a long way from
requiring all pupils to wear them.
Yet something ought to be done to
discourage this foolish and unwise
habit many school girls have Of trying
to Guido each other in the matter of
dress. Some of them look as IL they
might be gowned for an elaborate
social function and the attention de-
voted to dress cannot help but detract
from their learning, to say nothing of
the unhappy and uncomfortable con-
trasts it sets up against children I'M
able to match them.
1t goes without saying that the
teachers cannot handle this problem
unless they have the cooperation of
the parents, but an effort should be
made in cities where this silly habit
prevails-and that means most cities
to overcome 1t. Over dressing of
children is pernicious in its influence.
Children in school-even those in the
high schools where this custom is
most common-are there for mental
training and discipline, to obtain the
fundamentals for character building
and they cannot get them If they have
an idea that they are there for dress
parade.

Most people who discuss the So
called Oregon plan of electing United
States senators are ignorantly labor
ing under the deluslon that we have
in Nebraska the same form of primary
ballot that they have in Oregon. when
such is not the case. The Oregon law
permits any candidate for the Iegisla-
ture to have his name appear on the
ballot with an explanation, not ex-
ceeding twelve words, of the measures
or issues for which he specially stands
printed opposite his name. The Ne
braska law permits no such thing ex-

Face to Face.

Catching the contagion of Mr.. Bryan
telling Governor Harmon what to do
'or prepare to stand aside," our old
friend, Edgar Howard, who, by the
way, has kindly consented to allow us
to refer to him as friend, reads an
ultimatum under this caption to Gov
ernor Shallenberger.
Governor Shallenberger, you are
face to face with plain duty" de-
clares Edgar. Your real friends will
never be able to harmonic your action
with the right unless you shall per-
form the duty which confronts you"
The plain duty" as Edgar proceeds
to explain, is to call the legislature in
special session for the purpose of en-
acting the legislation known as the in
itiative and referendum, and to issue
the call right now, If not sooner, with
out waiting for any more promises
from legislative members to vote the
thing through.

how it is in any more danger than 1t
always is is not diagrammed.
Governor Shallenberger, the Tele-
gram addresses you in the capacity of
a friend" If the governor does not
respond to this coaxing insinuation, of
course the Telegram will be highly
offended, but presumably it will make
no difference with its continuing to
give advice in the capacity of friend.
Issue your call for a special ses-
sion, Governor Shallenberger," finally
pleads Edgar. land then every doubt
will be removed from the minds of the
people of your state as to your devo-
ton to public duty and your freedom
from corporate dictation."
In other words, If the governor will
only accept the dictation of Mr.. Bryan
and Edgar Howard all will go we'll.
Still, Edgar has been careful to avoid
serving notice on the governor to act
or to prepare to stand aside" ''-

The learned maid for all she knows;
And listen az she gravely tells
Her philosophic theories,
Because we know It will not last,
And such pretty thing she is.
We smile superior at her lore,
To see how earnest Is her mind;
To heal the hoary ills of earth
Her eagerness the cures to find,
This youthful ardor doth amuse-
We know its evanescent state
How problems real OF life and love
VIII shortly wipe it off her slate.
But while we laugh, we envy her
The freshness of her youthful dreams,
The purity of her young mind,
The dear ideals with which II teens;
That wise and serious is she now
Absorbed in matters of world fate,
VIII never hurt her girlish smile,

Judge GEosscup's Economics.

Judge Grosseup may have perfect rem
edy for present economic conditions, but
he has great difficulty in imparting his
knowledge. q When he tells us that "the
solving OF pIpPlems by spiral stairways
will not LAST and there is a limit to
such structure" we are simply amazed
without comprehending. He is a little
clearer in his remark that when the limit
is reached and the return to solid ground
begins the test is bound to be severe.
Quite true; If one mounts to the top Of a
spiral stairway and fall off one is apt to
get q bump. In general, however, Judge
Grosscups enonomics are too metaphysical
and spiritual for everyday use.

A Selling Plan for the Grapefruit.


A Selling Plan for the Grapefruit.
Klmball C. Atwood the grapefruit man,
owns about 5000 grapefruit trees in, the
state Of Florida, which develop product
of 100000 boxes a year.
He has in each of the past two years
spent $4,000 in educational advertising, con.
Quoted entirely in the magazines. In con-
sequence, the market has not only received
Mt. Atwood's grapefruit, but 1t has received
all other grapefruit as well.
In the beginning Mr.. Atwood reasoned in
his own mind that when his groves Of trees
began to produce. and the groves Of the
other growers began to produce grapefruit
would be drug on the market II he did
not do something to create a demand.
He decided to advertise his grapefruit
and he chose the easiest and most con-
venient way, the magazines.
MY magazine advertising Is based upon
an absolute. fixed appropriation of % cents
per box" Mr. Atwood is reported to have
said, recently and to be very, very con-
sentative, am getting dollar a box more
for my grapefruit than other growers, be-
cause have created a demand"
In other words. for every dollar Mr.. At
wood has paid for advertising he has re-
ceived SO in increased profits.

for and $4,000 against the free
judges.
How many of each total were
cast by each of the two parties
The evidence about the Republi-
cans has been the clearest, so let
us apply the procedure of elimina-
ton. All the way from two-thirds
to three-fourths of the Republican
votes in the judicial election are
said to have been cast for the free
judges. Let us say 20 per cent.
This would make the Republican
vote for the free judges 56,350.
The remainder of the 100000 votes
for free judges must have been
cast, according to this calculation,
by Democrats, or 63,650 of the
ia, $50 Democrats who voted in
the judicial contest. This is about
fifty-seven per cent. We find thus
that considerably more than half
of the Democrats who voted for
judges cast their ballots for the
Independent ticket.
