clNcH THE ELECTION.

There is one thing the democrats
should not forget. Kansas is normal
ly a republican state, and in order to
win next fall it will be necessary to
nominate the strongest possible can.
didate as the head OF the ticket. II
is true that the opposition is almost
hopelessly divided, but this does not
necessarily follow that any old demo
crate an be elected governor.
The voters of Kansas intend to do
whole lot Of independent voting thi
year. The record and character Of
the two leading candidates for gov
ernor will be more than usually
scrutinized. While 1t is true that the
democrats never had a better oppor-
tunity to secure possession OF the
state house than this year, It is still
an imperative duty to nominate the
very strongest candidate. Thousands
OF republicans are anxious to support
the democratic nominee, providing he
merits their confidence and respect.
Two years ago Senator Hodges,
who Is one of the ablest men in the
state, as the democratic candidate,
made a most brilliant campaign and
reduced the heavy republican major
ity into a small plurality. Such was
his remarkable personal popularity
that he actually pOlled $4,000 more
votes than any other man on the
ticket. 1t is true he failed to land
the prize, but the magnificent vote
be received was splendid testimo-
NAL to his popularity and an eloquen
tribute to his ability. {,
We maintain that he is the logical
candidate Of the party in the coming
election. No man in all Kansas has
a cleaner or a better record. His
private life is without a blemish. His
honesty is unimpeachable. His record
as a progressive and loyal democrat
is without a flaw. As the recognized
leader Of the democratic minority in
the senate he made good in every
particular. He is on the right side OF
every question in which the Kansas
voter is interested. His democracy
is orthodox and is not confined to
any extraneous issues. The Gazette
has no desire to make war upon any
gentleman who aspires to party lead
ership in the ensuing campaign, but
we believe that party success de-
mands that no chances be taken in
the selection Of that leader. With the
senator from 0athe as the head Of
the state ticket, victory Is not only
possible, but practically certain. For
THAT reason the republicans don't want
to see Hodges nominated. Some Of
the shrewd party organs Of the oppo-
site faith are throwing bouquets to
his rivals because they realize that
with Hodges as the candidate they
stand little show Of being successful.
For many years It has been a stand
ing joke among republicans that the
democrats always do the wrong thing
at the crucial moment. The only pos
sible show for republican success this
year In Kansas is a democratic
blunder. This being the case Senator
Hodges Is entitled to the vote d
every democrat in the entire state
who desires to see a democrat inau
gurated governor at Topeka next Jan
uary. Make no mistake. Vote fol
the man at the August primaries
who can redeem Kansas and Leaf

SEED PEARL JEWELRY AGAIN
characterization That Had It's Day Of
Popularity Long Ago Has Re-
turned TO Favor.

Get out your seed pearls that have
been tucked away for years, for this
once popular iewelry is in favor again
and is appearing in delightful forms.
While the new designs are copies OF
the old French pieces, they never have
the association of an antique, so deal
ers in the seed pearl iewelry are max

necklaces handed down from an ear
lier generation.
II your boxes reveal no treasures
the modern effects are lovely. Very
gorgeous is one festoon necklace OF
combination oval chains Of smaller
seed pearls and ending In the middle
Of the front in a long pendant.
Brooches-oval, round and star
shaped-are the size of an old fash
Toned watch or slightly smaller; and as
a concession to modern taste, there
are fascinating bar pins OF various
lengths, formed of connecting rings
OF the seed pearls. some with round
cluster brooch in the center
Lorgnette and wetch chains OF dou
BILE or triple rows Of the seed pearls
are studded at intervals with oval oil
round clusters.
A quaint bracelet copied from ar
heirloom has a solid studding an incl

Two old band bracelets of seed
pearls have just been made into 4

with fringe of the pearls finished
with small drops.
Remarkably quaint are the long fes
toon earrings These are rather try

by all save the woman OF regular fea

Fiyinu over Desert.

Flying over the desert is quite
similar to flying over the sea, accord.

aviators; but while at a height of
1000 feet a fine view is obtained, If
the aviator ascends 800 feet farther
even, the earth is generally concealed
by a blanket of fog. 1t is, therefore,
difficult to recQnnoiter at safe ele,

CHILDISH MODES ARE SIMPLE
One Very Good Idea That Continues
to Mark the Fashions of the
Present Season.

Just at the present season OF the
year our thoughts turn naturally to-
wards the little people and their re-
quirements.
Luckily for the young people OF to-
day, simplicity is the keynote OF their
fashions also, and the new coat and
skirt costumes for schoolgirls con-
tinue to be made in serge or tweed
with no trimming at all, beyond lit
tie braiding perhaps on the coats. The
skirts are sometimes slightly gored
and finished with several rows OF
tailor-stitching at the hem, but they
ara more often arranged with broad
plat in front and another at the
back, and q group of single plaits on
either side, stitched down fatty for
some little distance below the waist.
The coats for schoolgirls costumes
are of the simplest possible kind,
double breasted, and fastened with
dark pearl or bone buttons. With
these coats and skirts blouses in fine
French flannel are generally worn,
with something bright in the way OF
a knitted silk crayat and a patent
leather belt to match.
Those who prefer the full length
coats have plenty OF variety from
which to choose in navy serge and in
rough pilot cloth, in tweeds and in
heather mixtures. Then, again. there
are those fashionable blanket cloths,
with the reverse side in some con-
trasting color, which can be used not
only for the lining, but also for the
collars, cuffs and pocket flaps.

STARS MADE BY COLLISIONS
Professor Blekerton, British Scientist.
Believes Luminous Bodies Caused
By Solar Agitation.

Prof A. W Blckerton. a British
scientist believes new stars are
caused by solar collisions. The col
lision OF two suns. he said. resulted
IN the formation OF a third body. II
two dead suns came into collision
they would burst into flame. The col
lision would take about three-quarters
OF an hour. In each case the collision
would take the same time. as the col
liding bodies would get up a velocity
proporuonate 10 their size. Then
there would Fash out a brilliant star.
which would become a permanent
body The effect OF a complete col.
lision OF two gaseous suns would be
to make a new sun. Such collisions
were not accidental. They did not
occur at random Included among a
number Of agencies tending 10 devel
op such collisions was graVitation.
Before suns collidcd they fell toward
each other and got up speed for hun
dreds Of years Tho . tremendous
speed thus developed was stopped
suddenly in the colliding parts and
converted into heat. Thus in about
an hour a new star was born, explo
sive force expanded It, and It swelled
out its diameter at speed OF mil
lions Of miles an hour The sudden
fareup Of a light thousands OF times
the brilliancy Of the sun had induced
astronomers TO imagine that a col
lision Of suns had caused the phe-
nomena. The spectra observed, how
ever, were absolutely inexplIcable to
them because they had overlooked the
third body, the new star. Professor
Bickerton contends that the appear
ance OF Nova Persei. new star so
brilliant that nothing equal to II had
appeared for 300 years. was ex-
planned by his theory. Nova Persei
was 10000 times as brilliant as the
sun.

One of the papers read at the Ger
man medical congress. which has
just been held at Wiesbaden, was on
the application of radium in the aerial
state. Radium 'emanatoria" have
been established in Berlin and at Bad
Homburg, and now Ems is to have
one. A special apparatus from which
radium is transported in a current Of
fresh, cool air is fixed in a room, and
the patients have merely to sit In
the room and talk or read the news
papers or play draughts; the radium
in solution in the air does the rest,
and affects the blood through the
lungs. This treatment is especially
recommended for all equity ailments,
In the recent torrid conditions of the
atmosphere it has afforded to equity
subjects something more than an
amelioration-amo almost to a
pleasing compensation for their aches

HEAD OF IMPORTANT DIVISION

Wisconsin's university extension
division has two fundamental aims
to create in all the people a realiEa-
ton OF their educational need and to
satisfy that need. Education by "ex-
tension" does not mean that the labor
ing man is taught Greek and Chaucer,
regardless of his individual want. 1t
does not mean that knowledge is
ground out to him by soulless ma
chine, but that he is stimulated to
live, In the true sense Of the word.
Whether the means of that stimula-
ton be vocational or cultural educa-
ton, the end sought is the same.
In Wisconsin the seemingly impos-
sible task OF making the university a
personal friend of every one in the
state is attempted by means of a well.
