Under the heading, GAS we see
it," the Citizen INDUCED in a rather
lengthy soliloquy last week on some
of the duties and requirements of
an editor. 1t is really encouraging
to note that the Citizen is begin
ming to realize that a newspaper,
in broad sense, is public insti-
tuition. But you must learn also,
neighbor, that if you want the con-
fdence of the public you must be
honest with the public. 1t is your
privilege to take sides on any issue
or defend and encourage any prop
osition, but always deal honestly
with the public. The editor who
stands for one thing in his editorial
columns and something else in his
private life can not have the conf
dence of the public. A newspaper
containing an editorial on temper
ance in one column and an endorse
ment of some action Of the whisky
faction of his party in another COL
umn is hardly likely to have much
weight and influence among it's
readers. An editor can not be too
careful in these matters, for the in
fuence Of the weekly newspaper is
felt throughout the length and
breadth of our country.

Clement of the Regulars Commit
tee (who is also editor of the Citi-

question was asked if it was regular
for the chairman to call the mass
meeting without the action of the

remarked that it was just about as
regular as could be expected of the

that some men had rather be "reg-

COrSets to Reach
Lower Than Before,
in Straight Lines

corsets are much lower in the bust
and longer on the hips than they have
been. Some OF the newest models
not more than two inches above the waist
line and reaching almost to the knees
are shown in Omaha And they have not
less than eight hose supporters. These
corsets are called topless. Straight lines
continue to predomInate. although a faint
suggestion Of curve at the waist is be-
ginning to creep in. ,
There are some corsets with medium
length hips for wear when playing golf
or tennis or when taking any other stren-
uous exercise. There are also some open
mesh summer corsets in both cotton and
linen which are very light and COOL but
which local firms do not buy in great
quantities. as Omaha women do not like
them as do eastern women.
For stout women there are brassleres OF
embroidery and net to wear with the low
corsets. They reach the waist line and
may serve as corset cover.
