Mustaches predominated in court

Mustaches predominated in court
to-day.
Most everything was there in style
and color; something new, something
old. something unique and something
bold.
OF course there was the occasional
chest protector" the duster, the eye
brow, the toothpick-that two or three
nose; the Van Dyke-near and en-
tirely; the dropping walrus effect, and
finally the Emperor William. That
style, by the way. was most in evil
dence. And of course there was that
occasional scrubby. moth-eaten effect
that goes with three days growth.
In connection with the appearance
of the mustaches were more than a

Carelessness of mothers.

CareleSSneSS of mothers.
These are some of the grave dam
gers that make up 'the girl problem" !"
the Rev. e. A. G. Bossler, pastor of
State Street United Brethren Church,
this morning declared in a paper read
before the United Brethren Ministerial
Association at the Y. M. G. A. build
ing, Locust and Second streets.
The remedies proposed by the Rev.
Mr.. Bossler in his paper are the re-
building the family altar; better
understanding between mother and
daughter, an early acceptance of Jesus
Christ.
Hot Denunciations
In his talk Mr.. Bossler made a hot
denunciation of the dance, theater and
novel reading, showing how these in
fluences in his opinion, had a tend
ency to develop the lower instincts
in the girl at the same time that her
education in sex knowledge through
the proper sources was being neglect
ed.
| In talking of the evils, he said now
els which show sin in an attractive
way have a bad influence on the girl.
The dance, and he pointed out that he
meant the round dances such as the
waltz and two-step, appears to be
especially contrived to arouse the low
est passions in the young people"
After reading these descriptions he
said. 1 am convinced that very, very
| few indeed, are able to participate in
the round dance and remain perfectly
lpure in thought and life. Let the
sexes dance apart and at once the
bottom drops out of it. The dance
without the other sex is about the
most insipfd thing on earth.
| "The danger of the theater," he
said, Lies in it's extreme suggestive
ness, its frovolous, worldly and unholy
atmosphere, its lowering of the moral
taste, and its bunting oe the moral
senses"

Vacancies in the Wilson
Cabinet Are Not Likely

Washington, d. c., Feb. 16.--Presi-
dent Wilson to-day set at rest reports
that Secretary Houston would be made
a member Of the federal reserve board
and though he was not asked specific
ally about Secretary McAdoo and the
United States senatorial race in New
York, the emphasis which the Presi-
dent put on his desire to keep his
Cabinet intact was interpreted as an
indication that his influence would be
against drawing Mr.. McAdoo into the
New York situation. Recently the
President asked Secretary Wilson to
remain in the Cabinet rather than to
run for the United States Senate in
Pennsylvania.

the chief aid Of the railroad agent in de-
veloping his traffic.
II the railroads of the country would get
down to business, il they would realize that
facilities develop traffic, they would cooper
ate with the farmer more directly and thor
oughly and efficiently, they would find their
freight receipts Jumping.
The electric lines especially should give
attention to this method of freight develop
ment The managers Of these lines seem to
be content with doing a passenger traffic.
The traffic of tho steam lines is one-third
passenger and two-thirds freight. The un-
developed traffic Of the regions reached by
the electric lines is greater than the existing
traffic. 1t can be developed by sending
motor trucks through every neighborhood to
gather up the freight, which the farmer has
not time to deliver even to the electric cars.
This service will develop not only outward
bound freight, but inward bound. The farm
er can give his orders to the truckman and
get his goods delivered much more promptly
and satisfactorily.
All of these agencies make for farm profit;
but that is what we need. The farmer cannot
profit without all dependent on him-local
bankers, local merchants, local agents Of ex-
press companies and railroads -profiting by
his prosperity.

WAR REvERsEs SOCIAL PROGRESS.

IN ENGLAND the effect Of war upon 80
cial progress is most pronounced says
the Portland Evening Telegram in a re-
cent editorial, which proceeds to state;
"It is reported that English farmers have
petitioned the government for the privilege
of employing child labor in farm work dur
ing the fall and winter months. The labor
laws Of England do not permit this in the
sense Of employment that is considered as
gainful occupation. The argument in support
Of this petition is one of emergency. The
younger men in farm work are called upon
TO enlist; and the farmers in their patriotism
urge them to respond. But next year they
will need the fruits Of the field as well as
fighting men, and they see no way to be
assured OF these save by permission 10 en-
ploy young boys, which the law forbids. It
is also intimated that English manufacturers
will ask for the same privilege which is like
ly to be the fact.
cone cannot deny the force Of the emer-
gency, nor the necessity for meeting it in
any way that il can be met, So far as the

not be altogether bad, provided the boy was

created in British agriculture and industry
only emphasize the truth Of that statement, "

DEVELOPING FARM TRAFFIC.

THE EUROPEAN WAR will not inter
fere with the various plans for securing
better markets for farm produce. On
the contrary, it will emphasize the necessity
for giving to the farmers better returns for
all they raise and securing from the farm
ers, at the least possible cost Of transporta-
tion and exchange, the supplies of food in
tended for the table Of the consumer.
It will not be possible to abolish the mid
dlemcn, because there are services to be rem
dcred which the farmers cannot render, and
which the city consumer cannot perform for
himself.
II is possible for the farmers in a given
neighborhood to arrange to make weekly or

vegetables. But this covers only small part
Of tho field,

Majority and Plurality.

In politics the plurality is the great est of more than two numbers and is also the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate over the next highest number. When a candidate receives out of 10000 votes east 4,OOO and two other candidates re ceive respectively $500 and 2.5O0, the first is elected by a plurality. though he has received less than a majority of tbe whole vote. and he is said to have a plurality of 800 votes. If the nun
 bers are 6OOO. 5000 and 1000. the ma
 jority is 2,000 and the plurality is 5000 A majority. therefore. must hr more than half the entire vote cast
 and candidates majority is. then. the difference between the number of votes he received and the combined number of votes cast for all other candidates; his plurality is the difference between his own number and the number re ceived by the candidate nearest to him
