 The Nicaraguan foreign offce holds that it was dealing with the United States through diplomatic channels and that the action of the senate should have been discounted before negotiations reached such a stage as 10 tie Nicaragua up completely to a policy which could not be made prac. teal.

 ProgresSiyes in Iowa have declared for election Of postmasters. This is n well intended assertion of the demo- cratic spirit of local self-government. but a badly mistaken one. 1t is in no sense progressive It is sharply re- actionary. The Iowa progressives who are responsible for the proposal would do well to study our political history. If there is anything that history proves it is a multiplicity of elective offices means not popular but boss control. means not democratic seIf-g0vern- ment but political oligaTChy.
 Concentration and control is the formula Of really effective democratic rule The community that lengtnens it's ballot lengthens approximately the road it must travel to reach re- spOnsible government. Mark Twain makes his shrewd philosopher, Pud- d'nhCad Wilson, say: The fool has said. put not all your eggs in one basket, but l say, 'but all your eggs in one basket-and watch the bas- ket.'"
 4 postmaster is an administrative oHcer who should be appointed upon tests of efficiency, like a soldier or a bank official He should be permanent while competent. and his office should Ee no longer either a presidents or a congressman patronage. or, as it would be if it were elective, one of The jobs to be traded in by the To- .Cal bosses.

AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


Trousers and short hair are the
 perquisites of masculinity. They are absolutely unlovely. and nobody but man wants 'em. We may borrow various other articles of his wear even his socks, we understand are no longer sacred to him; we may adopt some of the mannerisms and take to ourselves some of his inalianable rights and privileges. but every nor maj woman will checrfuliy leave him his bifurcated garment and his short haired pate.
 There is a certain kind of woman who markets to the detriment of other people. Everybody knows the kind.
 She comes into a meat market, for instance. Immediately her busy fin ger is poking thi sand that she pushes 1t into steak. She fishes around in barrel of some piokled stun. She takes mp a smoked fish, then she fingers several chops. Final ly she buys five cents worth of liver and pound of wieners.
 Now every bit of the stuff handled by this woman is made unfit for use by other people. Even when the butcher keeps his wares beyond the reach Of such customers. or under cover, the woman who wants to poke things and handle them will manage somehow to get hold of something that she probably hasn't any inten- ton of buying.
 This woman is pest in all kinds of stores. She's the one who hicks up apples with her thumb naH. who prods off a piece of bulk butter with a forefnger, Ecks said finger then breaks off a piece of cheese with the l aid of the same finger.
 The only remedy, of course. is for 1 the stOrekocper to have everything I out of reach and under cover. and to | forbid any handling when he sees it ! coming, even though he stands a | chance of losing that particular custo- | mer. If he doesn't he's apt to lose l more customers because of his lax 1 ness. Most of us don't like to buy other peoples germs with our meats | and groceries.

 Even suffragets say silly things in this silly season.
 One is quoted as declaring: With in a few years women will wear their hair like men.
 Will they? Not if we know it. Not if our menfolk have anything to say about it-3nd. vote or no vote, our men folk are going to have a good deal to say to us aEout things personal. The facJ Is that even the most ardent suffragist will continue to think a good deal of what her menfolk think concerning her appear ance and deporJ orJment-unless she has arrived at that sOur-faced stage oc- casionally achieved by one who has been often disappointed in affairs of the heart. Even then a little flattery and mental chin-chucking will do wonders in changing her opinions con cerning mankind and encourage her 10 improve her appearance in the hope of better things coming.
 Women won't sacrifice her hair even for votes It's her crcwning glory and she shows it. She wouldn't look like the clipped and bald-headed critter sitting opposite her at the breakfast table for anything in the world-no matter how much she may worship said clipped and baldheaded critter And if she wanted to, he wouldn't let her.

 WASHINGTON, July 30.-what promises to be the sensation Of the year in Central American politics is the news received here that the gov ernment of Nicaragua has begun nc gotiations looking to a final severance Of all relations with the so-called dollar diplomacy" of the United States.
