party secured a definite advantage,
namely, Governor Woodrow Wilson.
The face of the returns give him Il
majority in the county conventions
to be held throughout the state to-
morrow, but this majority is de-
pendent upon all elected delegates
attending the county conventions
and upon the further contingency
that they do not change their votes
in the conventions.
The returns from many of the
counties will not be known until
the county conventions meet.

of the Wilson campaign, gives out

| DAINTlEST OF TABLE LINEN
Most Elaborate and Expensive Is
That in Use in Partisan
establishments.

Table linen in Paris today is of the
most elaborate and expensive descrip-
ton. Teacloths are made almost en-
tirely of lace composed of squares
with insertions OF finest embroidery,
and serviettes and napkins must also
match the cloth. Another expensive
habit is to have all the crystals in
colored Bohemian cut glass to match
the hue of the hostess afternoon
toilet.
At a recent reception given by a
society leader harmony of color was
very successfully carried out. Plates,
glasses and decanters were OF pink
cut crystal, while the lady of the house
wore a teagown of rosecolored NOUS
seline de sole. The color scheme was
also preserved in the flowers on the
table, and long-stemmed pink roses
were everywhere about the room.
A wealthy host the other day, ac-
cording to the Cri de Paris, prepared
a surprise for his guests by an elab-
crate sea fantasy" built up as a ta-
BILE center, with shrimps and tiny cells

EDUCATE AGAINST sELF,sHNEss.

Recently addressing a body Of New
England students, Richard Olney. sec
retary of state under President Cleve-
land. urged them to the duty of sub
ordinating interests of their respective
future crafts TO the highest claims OF
citizenship. Which is only another
way OF saying, that In educating our
young people we should teach them
irst the art OF living, and second. what
ever art by which they are to live; that
is, that living comes before getting a
livelihood. The claims of citizenship
are above those of any trade or profes-
sion. Our schools that go in for the
vocational training, eminently good in
itself, need to look out lest they lay
the chief stress upon the matter OF
getting hold OF technical knowledge as
the means of making a living. The
schools, none Of them, are teaching too
much about how to become good and
worthy citizens, how to make dyna-
mic men and women out of ordinary
boys and girls. There is the place for
the stress. That, we think, is what Mr..
Olney had in mind when he urged
those students to sink selfish plans
for immediate aggrandizement In the
larger purpose of doing good and be-
ing good for their country, says the
Omaha Bee. For as sure as they do
they will have no difficulty in picking
up livelihood somewhere. So II our
curriculums could be made to teach
and throw their weight against selfish
ness In education our educational sys-
tenn would be improved right here.
