We like the country very much be-
cause of its dry climate and the
many opportunities IT offers young
people who are willing TO work and
have a determination to make some
thing of themselves and for them
selves.
We are both teaching. Ethel, in
Dunn County about thirty miles

dren are not many in number, there
being only nine within the school

They have passed law against
slavery in the Philippines, which will
increase the difficulty of getting any
work out of those far eastern sons
of rest. AS matter of fact, slavery
has been scarce article there since
American occupation, if it existed at
all. But getting work out of the ma
tives has been complicated problem
In their usual lavish manner, Ameri-
cans hiked wages upon their arrival
in the islands, but it was necessary
to guard workmen to keep them from
running away, even under that ar
rangement. Slavery is an inhuman
institution, but Filipino slave is our

a share in the profits. Victor needs

Indebtedness amounting to about
half million dollars caused by con-
struction of it's waterworks system
There is talk of getting rid of the
water plant by sale, engaging in the
saloon business or having a receiver
appointed for the city.
Victor saloons may be profitable,
but for a city. to engage in that bus
mess to pull itself out of debt would
not win any admiration even by its
own citizens, many of whom would
strongly oppose any partnership Of
this kind. Victor's city government
must be in bad way when it can
not find any other solution of its fl
nancial problem. With assets suffi-
cient to cover its Indebtedness Victor
ought to be able to find some solu-
tion for it's troubles. Instead of try
ing to work some scheme for raising
money outside of the usual ways ir
which municipalities operate, il
might try recognizing its govern
ment. A sensible business policy i.
apparently what Victor needs.

PRESIDENT YUAN'S PARLIA-
NENTARY IDEAS.

The issue between Yuan and the
expelled 300 members of the Chinese
parliament was supposed to be re-
sponsible cabinet government VS.. a
strong and independent executive on
the American plan. But it seems that
Yuan does not intend to copy our
constitution. He is a sort of politi-
cal electic, which is not a bad thing.
Each nation and each historic period
may require governmental machinery
appropriate to the needs of that per-
iod
Yuan wants no elective senate, in
deed no senate in any true sense, and
no unwieldy popular assembly or low
er house. He favors an assembly of
300 members, and his second or revis-
ing chamber would be an appointive
administrative council" consisting
of cabinet minister's, provincial gov
ernors and other important function
aries or civilians.
This system is nearer Russia's than
that of the United States, but what
western observer who realizes what
constitutions and governments are
will assert that Yuan is wrong? A
parliament of the kind he proposes
may be the best parliament for the
China of today. The essential thing
is to establish the principle of rep
resentative government and to insure
deliberation and steadiness in legisla-
ton. England is about to modernize
her inefficient and partisan second
chamber, but England is ready for
more democracy and more decentrali-
zation. China needs national unity
above all, and if Yuan is sincere in
his support of parliamentary institu-
tions, his scheme is not necessarily
dangerous to popular government. In
the United States, remember, there
are little movements toward commits
sion government in states, toward
smaller and more efficient legisla-
lures and even toward single-cham-
bered legislatures. Political institu-
tions evolve, like all other things

1t probably never occurred to you
that the slit in the skirt might have
been put there to make walking cas-
ier. 1t might have been, of course.
but probably that wasn't the primary
purpose. That purpose is as old as
the fashion is new, and is about the
same that prompted the bellies of
Babylon to wear earrings, or Cleopa-
ira to parade in dainty decorations
before the Roman invaders. 1t is the
same old impulse which has started
most of the startling fashions since
Eve went in for figleaf finery, and
which will dictate daring designs for
many years to come. After which

In supporting compulsory arbitra-
ton law We do so for the purpose of
bringing employees and employers to-
gether. 1t is the duty of the coal
operators to meet with the coal min
ers, not agitators, but the men who
dig the coal, and talk matters over
and the public informed regarding
differences instead of the cross-fire
that has been going on. If coal min
ers are given proper wages and con-
ditions the public wants to know
about it. If it's simply recognition
of the union and dealing with such
men as Hayes and Mother" Jones it
is different. No law will force such
recognition but it will force contend
ing factions to get together on vital
points.
