These statements are neither inapropos nor inaccurate to the

Of the Legislature at Albany?
Pledges made in the Democratic platform in this State have
not been kept by the elected representatives of the party, and there
are good reasons for believing the failure is due to the bossism of
enc man, who, if he has not disrupted the party, has at least hobbed
it in the Legislature, and may cripple it next year.

Here is one more instance Of explaining a social problem by
showing there is a bigger problem back of it. The Judge would avoid
these foolish marriages by providing stricter regulations concerning
the procurement Of licenses. 1t is evident, however, that no matter
how effective such reforms might be in preventing bows and girls fro.,
getting married without proper consideration, they would not
make the homes any happier, nor check the desire Of the girls to
get away.
1t appears that in our improvements Of life, with all our parks
and libraries and picture shows and seaside resorts and bright
lighted streets, we have made the outside of the house more pleasing
than the inside. We must undertake a home improvement reform.

.Woman's Foot Grow
ing Larger

hik Iai kSi
Shoe manufacturers claim that
the American woman's foot is
growing larger. The number
two shoe is almost obsolete, they
say, and sizes four and five are
much commoner than three.
The explanation seems to be that
the phenomenon is due TO the in.
creased use Of the feminine foo,
as a means Of locomotion. The
constantly increasing number OF
women engaged in industry and
the growth in popularity Of ten
mis-. golf and walking have had
their inevitable result, and com.
mon sense has done much "a
abolish the wearing Of pinching
shoes. The tradition that small
feet are an excellent thing in
women has persisted long and
will die without a struggle.
Conservatives need not fear that
women will carry this matter toe
far: they know when to stop.

BASKET BALL
keytesville High Against
Brunswick High

Last Friday evening at Bruns-
wick there would have been an
enjoyable basket ball game had
it not been for a Legged
fraud from Kansas who pre-
tended to act as umpire. The
fact that he undertook to steal
the game for Brunswick in the
face of everything and every
body, evidently had a worse eff
feet on the Brunswick team than
on the Keytesville players. 1t
was patent that he knew little
or nothing about the game, and
numbers of Brunswickers were
thoroughly disgusted with his
rank, coarse efforts at jobbery.
The score was 10 to 3 in Keytes-
ville's favor in spite of the rot
tenness of the Jayhawker mooch-
er.
Our boys solemnly declare they
will play no more games with
Brunswick under such circum-
stances, as well as they like the
club and as royalty as they are
treated when in that city.

The robbery of the bank at
New Westminster, British
Columbia by which the yeggmen
got away with $3l5OO0 in gold
and bank notes and left several
thousands in gold behind be-
cause they could not carry it,
furnishes another proof Of the
folly in these modern times Of
carrying too much cash, either
in bank or wallet. Nearly
every big daily paper contains
accounts Of men and women
travelling about the country
with sums Of cash being held up
and relieved of it or having il
picked from their pockets.
In the case Of the bank robbery
the fact that all the bills were
numbered and new, lent hope
that they could not be passed
without the detection Of the
robbers quickly following, but
several Of the identical bills
taken from the bank have been
discovered in circulation. and no
clue to the identity Of the party
first passing them. The greater
part Of the amount made of
with being in gold, the chance
for discovery Of the robbers is
Of course greatly lessened. Nc
greater haul in cash was ever
made, nor is there a case on
record where the robbers were
not finally discovered and
punished even though the money
was not recovered.
