FARMER GIVEN BATH
FIRST IN FIFTEEN YEARS

LINCOLN, Neb., March 14.-J. w.
Gilgallen, aged ID, a farmer hermit,
living south of this city, was today
given the first bath he has had in
fifteen years. Officers, who brought
Gilgallen here on a charge of cruelty
to his live stock, almost yielded to his
pleading that he be allowed to remain
member of the "great unwashed."
Gilgallen declared the only way he
could keep his health was to avoid
soap and water. He said he was not
in robust health and bath might
cause his death. Officers admit he
is strong man.
The hermit was wearing leathef
shirt that had not been removed from
his person for eight years. His long
gray hair hung in tangled mass
below his shoulders.
Gilgallen's farm of eighty acres is
worth several thousand dollars and
he is known to have small for
tune in local savings bank.

REPUBLICAN IN WILSON'S
CABINET-FOR A FEW DAYS

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 14.-
For several days next week, while
Secretary of State Bryan is enjoying
a birthday celebration with his neigh
bors in Nebraska, the nations diplo-
matte affairs will be under control of
Republican, Acting Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson.
Wilson, the first assistant during
the Taft administration, has tempo
rarily retained his berth at the re-
quest of Bryan, until the latter be-;
comes more familiar with his new
duties. The fact that Bryan is willing
to leave the state department, with its
heavy responsibilities, accentuated by
the change of administration, in VIII
sons hands, was taken here today as
a refutation of the report that there
has been a disagreement between the
new premier and his "holdover" as
sistant.

The statement of DR.. Lory that so
per cent of the expenditures of the
state for high schools and graded
schools is wasted may appear start
ling, but it is worthy of consideration.
The time is coming when the masses
will be provided with a useful educa-
tion. 1t is no doubt fact that a
very. small per cent of pupils go
through high SCHOOL. This means that
in the lower grades useful inforna-
tion should be dissembled. The time
is coming when domestic science and
industrial trades will be as common as
the spelling book. Household work
and economy will be drilled into girls
while the boys will be taught farm
ing and industrial arts from the time
they are ten years old. AS DR.. Lory
states, only small per cent go
through the high school, hence prac-
tical education should commence ear
lier. Let our public funds be devoted

ACTRESS SAYS SO LEAST
GIRL CAN SUPPORT HERSELF

DES MONIES, Ia, March 14.-Rose
Stahl, playing here in Maggie Pep
per-" drama of department store
life, says she welcomes the white slave
probe into conditions in Chicago de-
partment stores and hopes that it
sweeps the country.
Mine dollars week is the lowest
decent living wage for a working girl
who is not living at home," says Miss
Stahl.
"The solution of the social evil is
for girls to be paid decent wage and
for employers to give their employees a
per cent of the earnings. If the heads
of departments and others in respon-
sible positions are given per cent it
is a great incentive to honest en-
deavor for those in the lower ranks"
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-03-17

to the benefit of the masses instead
OF the few. And while on the sub
ject DR.. Lory might have gone further
and said that higher education and
the sciences should not come at pub
lie expense to the extent now pro-
vided. Colorado is providing money
to educate mining experts and under
Shafroth to provide dancing and the
ater parties on the side, while much
is lacking in the education of 50 per
cent of the boys and girls of the state.
We are proud of our Boulder uni
versity.s But it is for the favored few
mostly those who are able to pay
their way, or largely so. Not only is
the state taxed by regular mill levy
but we find at every session of the
legislature a demand for more money
to provide luxuries for the few, new
scientific departments, etc. Suppose
the money was spent in providing a
more practical education for the COM
mon run, would it not serve bettei
purpose? The Herald agrees with
Dir Lory that too much of the publit
frrds are spent for higher education
for the benefit of the few and moi
enough for the great mass of boys
ard girls throughout the land.
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-03-17

The initiative and referendum is a
farce in Colorado. Last fall the peo.
pie by e good majority voted down
an initiated public utility bill fash
ioned much the same as the one be-
ing rushed through the legislature.
The people said in no uncertain voice
they did not want any such handicap
at this time. The measure cost the
state tidy sum. In the face of the
voice of the people members of the
general assembly are insisting on put
ting the screws on the state. Again,
in regard to the referendum. The
legislature has found way to pre-
vent referring bills and thus violat-
ing the spirit of the law. Under these
conditions the best thing to do is to
repeal the initiative and referendum
and save the state a lot of money.
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-03-17
THE REFERENDUM AND EFFECT

The referendum has already been
mission and the bill lost. Last fall
the people voted on two public utili-
ties commission bills.
In the case of the bill submitted by
the Direct Legislation league, it only
carried in eight of the sixty-two coun-
ties and only with a majority of 551
in these eight counties. 1t was defeat
ed by total vote of 24,286. In the
case of the public utilities bill sub
mitted by the Denver Trades and La
Dor assembly it only carried in nine
counties with total majority in ia
vor of it in those nine counties of
225. 1t was defeated by total vote
of 33,791.
The Direct Legislation leagues bill
secured majority in Arapahoe, Gil
pin, Grand, Montrose, Park, Routt, Rio
Grande, San Juan and Teller. The
Denver Trades and Labor assembly
bill secured majority in Archuleta,
Baca, Cheyenne, Dolores, Grand, Lo-
gan, Routt, Sedgwick and Washing
| ton counties.
Thus the two bills were submitted
to the people and they were defeated
in almost every county in the state,
ard yet the Democrats, led by Senator
Burris, maintain that the people want
this law.
Another feature of the case is the
fact that the Democratic state plat
form declared in favor of public
utilities bill. By the defeat of these
two bills the people wiped that plank
out of the platform, and it is not a
platform pledge. 1t is a rejected plat
form proposal.
Certainly if the people are given
an opportunity to vote on the propo-
sition and then turn it down they dc
not want it.-Pueblo Chieftain.
