THIS MODERN EVENING GOWN
Garment Moved Good Old EthnoIOelst
to q Remembrance Of Forms Of
saiutatIon.

Her evening gown made the good
old ethnologist stare, for It had neither
sleeves nor back, and in the skirt of
thin white silk panel Of lace. running
to the knee, revealed the fash of--yes,
the good old ethnologist stared. Then
he said in his good and simple way:
you are very beautiful. my child.
That gown Is a revelation And do you
know what 1t reminds me of? It re-
minds me Of the form Of salutatlon
practised in Ethiopia.
IN Ethiopia, when a guest arrives,
the host, as sign of submission, be-
gina to disrobe himself. He takes on
this, he takes on that, and he would
strip himself entirely did his guest not
beg him to stop. The guest. OF course,
gives the signal long before things
have gone as far as-as far as"
The old ethnologfst with a smiling
gesture indicated the young lady's
gown. Then he resumed:
"Other nations, too, as a~~gn of hos
pitality, practise this disrobing act In
various minor forms. Thus the lifting
Of the hat-isn't that the same thing2
Isn't It the beginning, perhaps. of the
removal of the coat, shoes, and 30
forth?
The Japanese peasant actually does
remove his shoe. as remove my tile,
in salutation. And the people Of ARA
can remove both shoes as & sSlute Of
welcome when out Of doors; while in
doors they remove their stockings
also.
"And 80 tell myself, as look at
your new gown, that we also are now
adopting the disrobing act as a signal
Of welcome and hospitality-only, OF
course, we carry 1t farther. as we car.
ry everything farther. than mere saw
ages.
And as ! look at you am tempted
TO say In the phraseology Of France:
"'Couyrez vous. macemoiselle, cow
req vous.' Exchange.

A matter that is of special interest
to the voters of Morrison county is
the composition Of the county board.
There are two places to be filled this
year. In the Fourth district F. H.
Lakin has no opposition for re-elec-
tion, and this is a fine compliment
from the voters Of his district. The
Fifth district also elects a commls-l
sioner this year. Martin viechorek of
Swan River, who has served one term
from this district, asks for reelection.
Mr.. Viechorek has been an able, con-
Acientious and hard working commits
sioner and should be returned. Henry
Vanselow Of Culdrum, who has been
in the county but a few years, is also
a candidate in the Fifth district. He
is said to be very pleasant GENTLE
man, but Mr.. Viechorek it would seem,
better knows the needs of his district
and county, and it would not be wise
to dispense with his services.

CAPITOL GOSSIP

If there was any question as to the
election Of Winfield Scott Hammond
for governor of Minnesota next Tues
day it has been removed by the trium-
Phal campaign tour which the st:
James man made through Western and
Northern Minnesota last week.
In the first place the voters in ter
ritory where Mr.. Hammond was not
well known before have been permit
ted to size up the candidate, to see
that he is big, able, fair-minded man.
Then Mr.. Hammond has so completely
answered the insinuations made against
him by his opponents that there has
been q reaction against Mr.. Lee and
his cohorts. Mr.. Hammond's plea for
fair play and clean politics has won a
warm response and his exposure Of the
insincerity of his opponents has left
them without q campaign argument.

Frank Wachlarowicz, were given a
hearing in justice court Tuesday. They
asked to be allowed to plead guilty ia

were bound over to the grand jury and
their bonds fixed at $1,000. Being un.
able to furnish the bonds, they must
remain in the county Jail until the next

AMENDMENT NO. 3

In the interest of the development of
Minnesota I am calling attention by
public proclamation to Amendment No.
to section two Of article eight of the
State Constitution which is to be vot.
ed on November 3.
I heartily commend the adoption Of
this amendment to the people Of the
state. This amendment reads as fol-
lows:
ga revolving fund Of no. more than
two hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars may be set apart from the funds
derived from the sale of school and
swamp lands to be used in constructing
roads, bitches and fre-breaks in,
through and around uns0ld school and
swamp lands, such fund to be replen-
ished as long as needed from the en-
hanced value received from the sale
Of such lands so benefited.
This is matter Of simple justice to
the people of Northern Minnesota, and
will make it possible to develop the
northern section more rapidly without
separate burden of expense.
It is clear that the intent of this
amendment it to carry out the wishes
Of the Federal Government in regard
to the lands granted by it, with the
exception, that instead Of the lands
paying for this improvement, the mon
ey so expended through the revolving
fund is to be charged against the land,
the same to be added to the minimum
price Of the land.
The effect Of this is to ultimately
build roads through all the state lands
| so that the purchasers win have the
opportunity Of building roads which
they may pay for themselves, but with.
out inconvenience.
The passage of this amendment will
be in a measure acknowledgements of
! the state as to it's duty when it accept.
ed these lands from the Federal Gov.
ernment. The swamp and other lands
| Of the state were granted to Minneso.
ia by the Federal Government with
the provision that money received from
their sale should be used in their i'm.
provement. This has been done in
small amounts, some six or eight hun.
dred thousand dollars having been ex-
pended in the way Of ditching. Roads
are absolutely essential to THE de-
velopment of these lands so the settler
can REACH market. The establish.
ment of revolving fund would make
it possible to use this money continu.
ously without permanently diverting

In the praise of the new prison, one
thing has not been mentioned. The con-
tracts involved nearly two and half
millions Of dollars, the biggest state
job since the building of the capitol,
and like that structure, no one can
point to one cent Of graft connected
with the building Of the great new
prison. We believe that to be proper
ly matter Of pride for all who had
to do with the work. It is unfortunate
in this age, that there should seem to
be necessary any need Of praise for
officials who do their duty honestly
and well, but because Of the fact that
some do not, and that these are by
the unthinking taken as representa-
tive, it is only fair to recognize honest
accomplishment.

PAID ADVERTlsEMENT aaa
Vasay Believes the People Have Right to Vote Their
Opinion on Public Questions
To the Voters of Morrison County:

AS it is an impossibiity to personally meet every
voter in Morrison County before election as would
be pleased to do, I take this means o. informing
the voters briefly my for again asking for
their support.
Two years ago ran and was elected as rep.
resentative at large the district consisting Of Nor
rison and Crow Wing Counties Ny majority in
Morrison County over my nearest opponent, L. D.
Brown, Sol votes. The 1913 Legislature
apportioned the District, giving Morrison and Crow
Wing Counties each representative. This was done
through my efforts, and Morrison County will be sure
to have representative of her own. decided to
make the race again in my county Of Morrison.
In letter sent the voters Of my district at the
last election, said would be bound by no combi-
nation clique or faction but would at all times vote
for the interests Of the people. Certainly no one
who has followed my record in the last Legislature
will say otherwise.

The most important amendment to be voted on
this fall is the Initiative and Referendum. The in
teress have fought the passage Of this bill through
the Legislature for years. It goes to the root Of
all Government. 1t makes the people the masters
and the representatives their servants It gives the
people the right to say what laws shall or shall
not pass by the Legislature; it is death blow to
monopoly. I. D. Brown voted against It in 1911
had the honor Of being Of Conference Com
mittee Of five, appointed by the speaker, which met
with Conference Committee Of five from the Senate
and drafted the present Initiative and Referendum
bill which passed the House and Senate and re-
ceived my vote and this fall will be voted on as
Amendment to the Constitution.
