Rams Fashions of Today.

The present fashions are in the
estimation of most sensible men and
women the height of folly, symbols
of impurity and vulgarity. In the be-
ginning clothes were meant as a shield
for the person, not as a sensuous
covering, exposing the contour of the
body. The fashions of today give
the idea of barbarism in its con-
glomeration of color schemes, the
scanty consciousness of the time of
Cleopatra and with a leaning toward
ancient Greek and Roman lines, but
without the ancient gracefulness and
beauty. Today when women are try
ing to vindicate their rights as citi-
zens of the United States with all of
the privileges of acknowledgements,
they have no right to appear so ri
clad. Thinking men do
not want to admit women to the
ranks of voters and lawmakers who
so foolishly follow all these silly fash
ions. They have enough tops and
foolish people in their own ranks
without admitting any more. Right
thinking, sensible women might and
could start crusade against the pres
ent styles if they would by setting a
standard and following it. Women
can dress sensibly without looking
like pumps. They can also dress
beautifully and still not follow the
fads.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
For County Clerk.


In response to the urging of many
friends l have decided to allow my
name to be presented to the voters at
the Republican primaries for the Of
fee of Clerk of the District Court
and Ex-officio Auditor and Recorder
of Canyon county. In making this
decision, feel that need no platform
upon which to seek your suffrages
beyond the record of the period in
which l have served you. The Office
is one in which efficiency is secured
by intimate knowledge of the thous-
and and one details of the work, and
is an office in which frequent changes
are decidedly against the best inter
ests of the taxpayers. Under my adj
ministration the Office has been self
supporting, and good balances have
been turned back into the treasury
after paying all of the operating ex-
penses. l respectfully ask your suf-
frages and shall deeply appreciate an
Endorsement of my efforts in your be-
half.

RACK To ROYHOOD-

In a recent visit 10 Michigan,
Thomas A. Edison tried several Of the
stunts he had done when a boy-like
being a butch" on the train. and
clicking off telegraph messages. We
&re glad TO see the great inventors
youthful inclinations. 1t is fine for a
man to have a boyish spirit. But for
a great many of Us a literal effort to
get back to boyhood would complicate
things.
Imagine one of South Bends bank
ers, who weighs two hundred and thir-
~ or less, trying to get away with a
chicken like he did when a boy. and
getting hung in the barbed-wire fence.
And suppose the eminent senator.
whose head today enables a barber TO
clear 90 per cent on every hair cut
should try his youthful experiment Of
meeting a billy goat on a plane of
equality
Then there is quite n sprinkling of
gentlemen who would find it difficult
10 lift themselves, as Of yore. by their
front teeth clamped onto a leather
strap.
And think of Taft skinning the cat;
or Of Bryan curing the hiccoughs by
holding his mouth full of water until
you count nine, real slowly.
Anyway. there is a good deal of fake
about this getting back to boy bust
ness. Very few boys but would give
two Of their front teeth and three of
their toes to be a man. And really
very few men, If it came down to a
pinch, would be boy again. The old
tricks are funny-now. But they
brought trials and fluctuations in those
days.
We know one very distinguished
man who, while a boy. was chased out
of a watermelon patch, up dead
tree, by a bulldog. He hung onto a
limb in the blistering August sun from
9 a. m. TO > p. m. 1t is awfully funny
now; but we doubt if all the water
melons in Indiana would hire that
man to get back in that tree.
Every age has it's advantages. but
a fellows own age. no matter what il
| is. ought TO be the best.

THE STATE TAX CONFERENCE.

Discussion Of Increased Public
Expenditures" the Effect Of High
Tax Rates." Of What other States
are Doing" and The Indiana sys-
tenn" is TO be the big features of the
second Indiana tax conference to be
held in Indianapolis, Dec. 1 and 2. All
Of them are big subjects. The con-
ference is held under the auspices Of
the Indiana State Tax association, and
Of the state, and from other states
particularly interested in taxation.
Such a conference ought to be Of
some benefit 10 Indiana, taxation being
a subject that is becoming OF more
and more vital interest with each sue
ceeding year. The state. the counties
the townships, cities and towns, and
likewise the individual. are constantly
being confronted with increasing de-
mands, and as constantly increasing
evasions. gross inequalities and intus-
tees. The tax-dodger is ever with US.
II Is to be hoped that the conference
will devise some means, acceptable
10 the legislature. that will answer all
the questions with which it is to deal.
OF course, II would never do TO in
troduce any new fads." 1t would
never do to undertake anything in
particular Everybody recognizes
that our system OF taxation is wrong,
or at least a trihe off in spots. but
about the only place that they recog-
nize ii is at the t@x-collector's window
which frightens the majority so that,
we'll, the most OF us would rather
bear the ills we have than flee -
others we know not Of" If we are
cocl-sure that it will benefit US and
put the burden on someone else, that's
different, but otherwise. no chances
need apply. The difficulty with the
average tax conference is that they
are too frequently manipulated and
managed by an interested few 90 in
crease inequalities and injustices,
rather than by going 70 the root Of
things. and really seeking 20 eradicate
those evils.
However. there is hope. The per-
sonnet OF the Indiana State Tax asso-
citation, indicates fair-mindedness and
"A degree OF public spirit that ought 10
lead at least to recommendations
worthy OF serious legislative consid-
Grafton. What Indiana needs is a
complete revision OF it's taxing system.
Piecemeai revision will only serve to
complicate matters y constitutional
amendment is about as necessary as
anything before the subject can be
taken w and taken up right.
SO let the conference proceed. 1t
will without doubt serve as a source
Of enlightenment upon taxation sub
jects if nothing more.
