Easter, but her pride in her new tinery can
usually be relied upon to help her combat the
icy winds.
movement was started some years ago to
induce the women of the United States to unite
in robbing Easter Sunday OF it's significance as
field day" for the new fashions According
to the mandate it was not to be consid-
cred good form" for a woman to appear on
Easter respondent in fresh additions to her
wardrobe She might display her new treas
ures-for, of what use would nice clothes be
to woman II she could not show them-on
the Sunday preceding Easter or on the Sunday
following Easter or at any other time, but the
custom was to be decried of turning Easter In
to grand review for marshaling the newest
products of the dressmakers, the bootmakers
and the milliners.
The new plan was all very well in theory,
but the persons who suggested it evidently did
not figure on the persstency with which the
daughters of the republic can cling to cher
ished prerogative. The American women SIM
ply declined to abandon their Easter fashion
parade and consequently the seasons surprises
in new ra1ment continue to be as indispensable
adjuncts to regulation Easter observance as
are the Easter lilies and the Easter EGGS The
credit for the preservation OF the traditions OF
the Easter fashion parade Is given to the
women because 1t Is the members OF the fair
sex who both as spectators and participants
the most numerous and most enthusiastic
supporters of the function. At the same time
it would be idle to insinuate that many Of the
opposite sex have not succumbed to the 1ntiu-
ence Of the Easter dress parade. Among the
male contingent there Is brave representa-
ton of spring overcoats and spring suits, that
make their appearance for the first time, but
the one preeminent touch which proclaims the
occasion is the array of collars and ties.
Some men there may be, who, because OF
prejudice or pocketbook, will not indulge them
selves In the new cOnceits of the tailors on
Easter, but there are none who need fOrego

As has been said, fashions parade on Easter
marches up and down the entire land. There
are some famous Easter fashion parades in the
United States, notably the one on Fifth ave
nue., New York. and the one on the Boardwalk
at Atlantic City, but there is scarce city or
town or village from Maine to California or
from Michigan to Texas that does not enjoy It's
own Easter panorama-particularlyi If the COM
mun1ty Is not so small that there are no church
services to act as an incentive to draw forth
the birds OF plumage And just here, it may
be noted in wonder, that such is the perfection
OF our modern system Of fashion distribution
that the Easter parade in the most remote
town affords proof that her feminine residents
are little behind New York and even Paris in
the main essentials OF the new STYLES"
While on this phase of the subject it may
be remarked that very few of the fashionable
paraders In the Easter throngs realize how far
reaching have been the preparations for this

ident and Thomas r. Marshall
for Vice President. Upon this
platform and with these candi-
dates we cordially invite the
cooperation of all citizens of
whatever political persuasion.
Democratic Officers and Mem
bers State Board of Equali-
cation.
We heartily commend the able
and efficient manner in which
our Senators and Democratic
Representatives in Congress, our
Democratic State officers, mem
bers Of the General Assembly and
of the the State Board of
Equalization have discharged
their respective duties, and we
commend the nominees selected
on the Democratic ticket at the
recent primaries.
State Finances.
The surplus now in the treas
ury and the present splendid fl
nancial condition of the State
Of Missouri are due to the wise
and efficient management of
Democratic officers, and are
the result Of laws enacted by
Democratic legislatures.
Good Roads.
We favor the enactment of
laws providing more liberal and
substantial ala, upon the part of
the State, in the improvement
of public roads, the able distri-
button Of State road funds, and
the enactment Of laws provid
ing that road districts may be
organized in counties, not under
township organization.
We congratulate our people
on the superiority Of public
school system. A wise con
stitutional provision provides
that one-fourth of the general
revenue must be devoted to
public schools; our General AS
sembly, however, appropriates
one-third Of such revenue for
such support, and the Missouri
taxpayer contributes of his
means each year for a like pur-
pose. This State has always
been among the first to adopt
every progressive measure for
the Improvement of our educa-
tional system. Measures ex-
tending aid to weak districts and
teaching practical agriculture,
heraided elsewhere as popular
innovations, were long ago in
stituted in this State. As an
honor in progressive education
Missouri has always been a
model for sister States to fol
low. Except Texas, Missouri's
endowment fund for educational
purposes is larger than that
of any other State.
Education.
We reaffirm the declaration
OF our party, made in its plat
form two years ago, f%avoring the
cause of public education and
adequate appropriations for the
support Of all departments of
our educational system. We be-
lieve in increasing the efficiency
OF the common school system, in
continuing the strengthening of
weak rural schools, in enabling
consolidated schools or high
schools to be established and
maintained in the country and
IN small towns now without these
advantages, in providing general
instruction in agriculture, do.
nestle science and manual train.
ing, IN permitting the mainten-
ance of kindergartens and pro-
viding industrial training for
young people Of all ages, and in
more adequat provision for the
higher institutions Of learning
in the State. Therefore.
we indorse the principle of
maintaining a separate perman,
ent fund for these purposes.
Direct Election of Senators.
We favor the election of
United States Senators Inv direct
