Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-09-07


A. +. Fitzpatrick has received the
recommendation of the Bull Moose
party convention for nomination as
state representative from Denver
county. This recommendation amounts
to this: Mr.. Fitzpatrick will be one
of several whose names will be pre-
sented to the whole of the Bull Moose
voters and he may finally be chosen
as one of that party's nominees.
1t is significant that such an honor
has come to a colored man, doubly so
since it came without his solicitation.
His nomination probably comes as a
reward of merit for the work he did
for the Citizens party last spring in
the local election.

DAlNTIEST OF TABLE LINEN
Most Elaborate and Expensive 10
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 q
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.

also preserved In the flowers on the
table, and long-stemmed. pink roses
were everywhere about the room.

Of soft gray chiffon marquisette. 1t

ed by the graceful draping. Then an
emerald green tulle over jeweled en-
broidered satin. which was shown at
a recent exhibition, had a suggestion
Of Titania's gossamer draperies. An
other gown suggestive OF mystery and
the East was in sapphire blue ninon,
opening over side panel OF embroid-

\ regal white satin and diamond
evening gown, with narrow lace

George Hodges is a man of action.
While others talk, Hodges does things.
His record in the state senate is one
OF accomplishment, and that under
the most unfavorable circumstances.
No other minority member of the
Kansas legislature ever did one-half
as much along the line Of progressive
legislation as George Hodges has done
during his two terms in the senate.
In the governors Office Hodges would

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

One of the modern problems that
confront the conscientious hOme-mak-
er is the wise choice Of a daily news
paper. The ideal family paper mast
be clean, free from vulgarity ard sen
sahonaliSm, yet muust offer some
thing of interest to every member Of
the household, besides printing the
latest news Of the whole void in re.
liable and attractive form. A large
contract, YOU will. say. Yes, but an
Increasing number OF readers seem
to be convinced that the Chicago Re
cord-Herald. fairly cones up to the
specifications. This great daily has
made tremendous strides IN the last
year or two without lowering its STAN
dards one iota.
Business and professional men have
long regarded the RecordHerah az
the best paper for their own reading,
because Of its splendid news service
and the reliability Of its financial, az
r;cultural and market rpeorts. Young
men perhaps find its greatest attrac.
ton in its excellent sporting depart
ment, covering the whole range Of,
the worlds sports Wives and moth.
ers emphaticaly prefer the Record.

partments-its daily recipes and

cal Snapshots and other clean comic

all the family together can enjoy Ar.

For the Young Girls Eye.

There is nothing more beautiful
than simplicity of character. 1t is
honest, frank and attractive. How
different is Affection The simple
minded are always natural; they are
at the same time original. The af-
fected are never natural. As for orig
inality. II they ever had it, they have
crushed it out and buried it from sight
utterly. Be yourself. To attempt to
be anybody else is worse than folly.
It is impossible TO attain it. A genu-
inc cent is worth more th9a a counter
felt dollar, and IL, Smallest person
who is real, is worth more than e
biggest fraud in existence. Let the
fabric Of your character, though ever
so humble. be at least real.

RURAL SCHOOLS A PROBLEM.

Confronted by a demand that Con-
greES be asked to appropriate money
to reNeVe what was termed "the low
ly, heartrendng and tragic condition
q the rural schools Of the country"
the National Educational Association
opened its fRtieth annual convention
hst Monday at Chicago.
Reports had been submitted that of
the 20 milNOn public school pupils in
the United States, II million were
being educated in rural schools and
only onethird Of the country boys
and gihs were making a satisfactory
showing. Thomas H. HARMS, state
superintendent Of schools of Baton
Rouge, La, declared the condition Of
the rural schools was becoming so de
plorabe it Was time for the federal
government to provide both money
and methods to remedy the situation.
A special committee was appointed
TO investigate the subject and has de.
cided to urge the appointment of
field workers to travel over the coun,
try in the interests Of the country
schools.
Speaking Of the National Education
al Association, Jas. NJ. Greenwood of
Kansas City, said:
1T was the thought Of the found
ers 0 the National Council that its
members would, through committees
and otherwise, submit papers and re-
ports on all kinds of educational
questions, and upon these the widest
latitude of expert opinions would be
sought for, expressed and published.
IL the selection of members the DOM
inant idea was to choose persons who
would work in determining aims and
principles of education. 1t is not a
political body, and it is not patterned
after political methods, or conducted
az a political machine.
Coming on the stage in 1884, |
have known quite intimately every
prominent man or woman that has
been a member of the association
from that date to the present. They
have stood for the highest and best
things of the mind and heart in our
civilization, and l indulge the hope
that the educators of the present and
future will follow their example"

Novel and Useful Clock.

Among curious clock novelties is the
shadow boudoir clock. With it there
is no need Of getting up to strike a
Light or turn on the bulb. All that is
necessary is to touch a button and the
time is flashed on the wall, after the
same fashion that signs are flashed on
the sidewalk. When the owner of the
clock goes to bed he turns a night dial
TO the ceiling and wien he presses a
bulb the electric light reflects from
the dial through the lens and appears.
giving the correct time in shadow on
the ceiling.
