Sex Hygiene in Schools

The Woman's Home Companion
has taken decisive position against
public school instruction on sex
hygiene, and in its September number
publishes the following communica-
tion from a Texas mother:
II am glad you have taken this
position. If parents would intelli-
gently instruct their children con-
corning these problems there would
be no necessity for this shameful
cutlery for public instruction.
II earnestly hope you will be sue

cemetery are two different things.
For a moment the young man hesi-
tated, but to refuse TO accept the
dare would be to subject himself to
much ridicule. so he decided to ac-
cept 1t.
1t was then decided that he take a
large nail with him and drive it into
the ground at a certain place to show
that he had been there.
The walk to the cemetery was not
a long one, so at ten minutes of twelve
the young man set out to prove mis-
bravery. His only companions were
his thoughts, which were not over
cheerful. and the huge nail which he
carried in his coat pocket.

Political Campaign on Race Question.

The following news story is sent out
by the press committee OF the National
Association For the Advancement Of
COlOred People:
May Childs Nerney. Secretary. 70 Fifth
Avenue. New York:
New York, Oct %, l9l4.-To define the
probable attitude OF the next congress on
the Negro the National Association For
the Advancement OF Colored People sent
out the following questions to all candi-
dates for congress in the Republican.
Democratic and Progressive parties:
First.-Will you. II elected. vote against
any measure abrogating the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments?
Second.-Wil you. II elected. vote
against (a) segregation in the federal
service. tb) residential segregation in the
District OF Columbia. (c) segregation In
iimcrow cars In the District OF COumbia'
Third Regardless Of whether you ad-
vOcate racial ntcrmarriage. will you OPP
pos" the passage of n law making such
marriage in the District OF Columbia IN
valid. since the enactment by states Of
such laws has led to the degradation of
Negro women and children?
FOurth.-DO you under any rircum-
stances Justify lynching?
Fifth DO you favor the enforcement
to the constitution?
The candidates who replied expressed
varying opinions. from the PrnnSyIva-
mia Democrat who believes In an "edi-
catiOnal test for suffrage" and is opposed
to Inch law" to the Kpntuckian who
warns the association that the people
Of Kentucky have II right to ask such
questions. but that the National assO-
citation has not

but the majority are cmphatically Op-
posed to it. Many would vote against

ing that they would not vote to make
any wOman's children iIlegitimate.
Comparatively few candidates believe
i'm segregation In government service.
but some favor residential segregation

DemoCratEasyW Win
. ner in Minnesota.
GIVEN IMMENSE VOTE
IN RAMSEY COUNTY
Also Carried Hennepin and Many
Country Districts.

st. Paul, Nov. 5.-Minnesota has
elected a Democrat for governor for
the third time.
John Lind first broke the long line
of Republican victories in 1898, but
when Winfield Scott Hammond takes
the oath of office next January he
will have no associates of his own
party holding state office.
The entire Republican ticket was
elected with the customary MAORI
ties ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, ex-
cept the candidate for governor, Will
lam E. Lee.
In the late returns Lee was slowly
reducing the Hammond plurality in
the country districts. This was ex.
pected, and, while the Democratic or
ganization chiefs will have to revise
downward their first early predictions
of a 10000 majority, it is. believed
final figures will not show the lead
much less than $4,000.
Hammond will carry Hennepin and
Ramsey counties by from $4,000 to 20,
900. Reports from st. Louis county
are meagre, but the St. James man il
in the lead, has carried Duluth and the
iron range and probably will get out
of the county with majority of $500
over Lee.
Justice George L. Bum of the state
supreme court has been reelected for
a six-year term. His opponent, Albert
Johnson of Red Wing, seems to have
been showed under by $4,000 on the
face of returns at hand. The congress
sional results are as follows
First District - Sydney Anderson,
Lanesboro (R).
Second District - Franklin F.. Ellis
worth, Mankato (R).
Third District-Charles R. Davis, st.
Peter (R).
Fourth District-C. C. Van Dyke, st.
Paul (D).
Fifth District - George r. Smith,
Minneapolis (R).
Sixth District - Charles A. Lind
bergh, Little Falls (R).
Seventh District-Andrew Volstead,
Granite Falls (R).
Eighth District-Clarence B. Miller,
Duluth (R).
Ninth District-Halvor Steenerson,

Tenth District-Thomas D. Schall,
