PARTY UNCERT AIN AS
TO FUTURE ATTITUDE
w. G. Belman Interviewed
on a Timely Topic
Just Now.

W. c. Belman. one of the leaders Of
the bull moose movement in Lake coun-
ty, was asked if the party would put
city ticket in the field. In answer TO
this question he made the following
significant statement:
Il should he very much disappointed
if any bul mooser made the statement
that there would he a bull moose ticket
in the field next year. The bun moose
party is not dominated by bosses. No
one has the right TO say what the party
VIII do at this time We are in the
hands of the people. The policies Of
the party are not determined by any
man or any group of men. The bull
moose party viii be kept alive. That
has been determined. but to what ex-
tent its activities win enter into the
city campaign win not be known until
the members Of the party have a chance
TO speak"
In short Mr- Bolman conveyed the
idea that while individuals have their
own opinion of what it is advisable 10
do that no one is entitled to speak for
the party From this the deduction IS
drawn that if the buu moose party be
ieves that 1t is needed to clean up
municipal affairs. it win he in evidence.
The one positive assertion that has
been made so far is that the bum moose
party will he kent alive. Its organlza-
tiou Will be perpetuated.

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED MOTHER.

Miss Mary Barteline, in charge of
Chicago's delinquents, says with re-
markabel perspicacity:
IF / had my way about it, these
girls who wear skirts reaching
scarcely to their ankles, shoes that
look more like stills, and a vulgar,
lownecked, tight-htting dress, would
be arrested.
There is hardly a mother today
who teaches her daughter to dress in
simple, sweet ,girlish clothes. The
only. difference between the average
street dress and nightgown is that
the street dress usually colored. The
delinquent girls | meet and the fac
tory girls are not to blame for adopt
ing these outlandish styles. They
copy them from the high school girls
whom they believe to be educated
well enough to know what is proper
to wear.
