Civics Class Hold
Republican Convention
BY BEN CoQUILETTE

Last Monday the High School
Sc riors held State Political Party
convention in which several laws
which are not now on our statute
books we're proposed. Candidates
for the different State offices were
selected from the class. In this
there were many heretofore fair
regulations irretrievably ruined.
There were the two elements
Insurgent and Conservative in the
convention, led respectively by
Wesley Decker and Ben Coqui-
lette, and as is true Of all conven-
tions both sides voted with their
respective leaders whether he was
right or wrong.
The convention was called to
order by the temporary chairman,
and the committees appointed.
The committee on permanent or
ganization. reported Miss Opal
Stout as permanent chairman and
Joy Parker as permanent secre-
tary, but the committee on Gre
dentials refused to allow Miss
Stout a seat in the convention
and Miss Janet Hill was chosen
to fill the vacancy.
The committee on platform and
resolutions presented a platform
commencing President Taft's past
administration, recognizing the
importance of private corpora
tions. but demanding their di-
vorce from Governmental activi-
ties. regulating railroads, tele-
phone and telegraph companies.
The platform also stood for Ten
Hour Labor law. new Mine and
Boiler Inspection law, a Recall
law permitting the people to re
call any public officer. and also
endorsing Simon Guggenheim for
the u > Senate.
The Conservatives worked hard
but succeeded in changing but
two issues. They were the Pub
lie Utilities law regulating rail
roads ETC., and in the last section
the name Simon Guggenheim was
changed to Ben b. Lindsey.
There was hard fighting in the
nomination of candidates. in the
course of which all the leaders
and several who said nothing
were proved TO be disreputable
and untrustworthy or else they
were proved to be political
schemers who would use all
means to secure his ends. In the
end the following offichrs were
elected:
Governor. Sam Hun Lieut..
Governor. Harold Wells; Secre-
tary of State. Nellie McNutt,
Secy. of Treasury. Nellie Bruce;
Auditor, Enroll Winn; State Su
perintendent of Schools, Nettie
Bryant. Wallace Decker was
chosen chairman of the state cen
trail committee.
Next Friday this civics class
will hold a "Commision Form OF
City Government" to which they
invite their friends

Married Life the Second Year

She sprang out quickly without giving
Mr.. Summers a chance 10 help her.
Let's take a table out here on the
porch" suggested Mrs Stevens. 1T
looks so hot and stuffy inside. Isn't that
red wallpaper horrible?"
The porch was lit only by the light
that shone through the window.
Helen would rather have gone inside
where the bright lights would have
helped to dispel this atmosphere Of sub
tie romance that MIR. Summers. was de-
liberately trying to throw about her.
walt Stevens, I'm doing this" and
Mr.. Summers premptorily beckoned the
waiter and gave the order Now you
are sure that YOU won't have a sandwich
or a salad" he asked, leaning toward
Helen. who had ordered only claret
lemonade
She shook her head. NO, that is all
care for"
"oh. forgot your footstoolr' as the
waiter disappeared. Tn afraid I'm not
taking such very good care OF you after
all"
"oh. don't need a footstool for the
few moments well be here" answered
Helen. keenly conscious of his intimate
tone and yet not knowing how to re-
sent it.
They had all dined together several
times and when he had found she always
wanted a footstool and that Warren had
usually left 1t for her to ask for. he
had been quick to procure one, surrepti-
tiously tipping the waiter for bringing It.
Each time Helen had secretly resented
that anyone should need to look after her
when her husband was present. but War
rem mad not seemed even 10 notice,
The Stevenses were now absorbed in
the discussion Of the new apartment they
were leasing this fall. And Helen
seemed as much alone with Mr.. Summers
as she had been on the back seat of
the car.
She grew more and more angry with
herself for the self-consciousness she
seemed unable to throw off In some
subtle way he was making her keeniy
conscious OF his every movement and
of every infection Of his voice.
Oh, why had not Warren come with
them? Why had he insisted on her COM
ing alone? There was nothing in this
that she could tell him; it was all too
subtle for that. And yet. she knew she
never wanted to be with Mr. Summers
alone again.
When they went back TO the car he
helped her in and insisted that she put
on her wrap. He held II for her and
drew 1t slowly and carefully about her
shoulders.
1t had been rather a cloudy uncertain
night when they started. And now to
; Helen's dismay IL began TO sprinkle.
Want the curtains up back there?"
asked Mr.. Stevens.
''oh, mono, it's only few drops. and
love to feel II against my face :"
answered Helen, quickly. feeling that to
be shut in back there by the rain cur
tains would only add to the intimacy
of II all;
But / can't have you getting wet ana
taking cold" protested Mr. Summers.
Helen felt her face flush at the pro-
prietary words. Il can't have YOU" but
: there was onthing she could say.

About thirty miles east OF the canal

the hahitation OF the most peculiar tribe

Islands along the Atlantic coast between
Puerto Belio and the gulf OF Uraba and
extends inland. approximately dividing
the eastern end OF the republic OF

Daughter at School

IT, No doubt the mother was trying TO be
chummy and companionable. but that
isn't good form for mothers this year
Mothers this season are quiet and
sweet" and they dress in gray and wear
soft. clinging things and old lace. and
they lie down in the afternoon. and
daughter gets white scarfs for them to
throw around their shoulders
What, you're as well and strong as
daughter. and you won't have her wait
ing on you. and you hate gray, and you
would like 70 see yourself making an old
woman OF yourself just for daughter?
Very well, then. go to your doom. but
the sorority won't approve OF you and
daughter will be miserable.
Last year the smart mother was the
fad and she was really a good deal
harder to do than the sweet" one. You
had 10 wear tailor-mades. no matter how
stout you were, and you talked horses
and bench shows and polo and golf, and
you were cynical and a bit world-weary.
but az heart you were a dear" you
know. All the girls said that.
The year before that all the mothers
had to be intellectual. II was a kind Of
rush OF New England to the brain.
You went in for plain living and high
thinking. you wore neat black silk
with a neat little collar and you talked
Ibsen and the new school Of domestic
relationship.
All the girls thought you were a noble
woman. and said so ever so many
times.

What Would Be Your
Three Wishes?

Of love must always be at the boiling
point; (d) love must never talter. but
must be good for as much poetry when l
am fat and forty and when l am slim
and twenty, and must be guaranteed to
be watertight and weatherproof and not
to be affected by my temper, nor curl
papers nor wrappers nor leathery steaks
and heavy biscuits. (e) love must have
enough ginger in 1t TO keep my appetite
for it perpetually keen, so I won't tire
of a daily diet Of too much sweets.
Now to my thinking If woman were
given three wishes she should ask:
For good health
For genius for little things.
To love.
To have health means to possess
beauty of type that does not fade.
II also includes good nature, because
practically all irritability and ill-temper
are caused by shaken nerves, and it as
sures its happy possessor an unending
fountain Of enjoyment and pleasures.
since whether life is worth living or not,
depends entirely upon the liver.
II is the mentally and physically dis
eased women who fill the divorce courts.
and burden the air with their lamenta-
tons over being foresaken and neglected
by their husbands and sweethearts. The
woman who has good health holds her
own
Next to good health should wish, be-
ing a woman. for the genius for small
things--to be eternally interested in
smaIl-bee gossip-what the neighbors next
door have for dinner; how many ruffled
petticoats Mrs. Smith has in wash; to be
thrilled TO my marrow about the cut
OF a sleeve or the hang Of a skirt; to be
able to be utterly absorbed in my own
house, my own church, my own Brown
ing society. And. above all. should
pray the gods 10 grant me that I might
always think my particular John the
oracle of the world.
Then l should ask to love. For q
woman not to have been loved is a mis-
fortune, but for her not TO love is =
tragedy. She may weary Of the noblest
love of the .noblest heart; she may find a
thousand imperfections in the most chiv-
alrous lover but her own love knows no
firing. and it gilds the meanest object
and turn II into god
In love, and in service, TO the adored
one, a woman finds her highest happi-
ness and, If She has of her own a man
and a child on whom to lavish her az
fections, she does not need 10 ask any
thing else Of fate. She has all wishes
punched in one.

out to help her in. Hadn't better get
you a heavier wrap? VIII that thin one

'oh, yes; quite enough" as she settled
herself back in the wide leather seat.
Mr.. Summers was a cousin OF the
Stevenses and had been at the hotel for
some time. Helen knew that he admired

that He had formed one of their party

to help her in and out of the car. and In
