Webster education includes the whole
course of training, moral, intellectual
and physical. We hope to our South
Bend class of 1914 1T means not only
the books and study they have mas
tered, but wider, clearer knowledge
of human nature, the achievement of
ideals and interests worth while.
Would you count it such if a girl
Of eighteen were miserable, even un-
happy, If a claSsmate wore a dress
which cost more than her own?
Girls meet this contrast from the
time they notice apparel, which is
early, until they die.
Several weeks ago the worthy prin-
cipal of our high school suggested that
the girls of 1914 wear either caps and
gowns or sailor suits at the gradual
ing exercises. The reason given
there would be a happier atmosphere
and less expense. The decision was
for the sailor suits and TO those who
disagreed the ultimatum was-a girl
who did not wear a sailor suit would
not receive her diploma.
Have you ever seen fat girl in a
sailor suit? A tall one?
The sweet girl graduate-we always
pictured her in something dainty,
something appropriate TO a festive oc-
casion, which the pride of a race won,
good achieved, make a graduating
night.
Expense? Well. in this era of beau
tiful things and clever fingers the word
holds not its former terrors.
In any dry goods store of our city
you can buy white goods. sheer and
pretty, very inexDensively. Suppose

sermon every one Of those 1914 girls
looked pretty, every one had a pretty

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.

In one of the Sunday cable letters
Gilbert ChestertOn. the English author.
gave it as his opinion that the British
government is making a mistake in
meeting the Onslaughts OF the mill
tants with force. arguing that women
are weakest when hysterical and that
men are weakest when brutal. his con-
clusiOn being that neither side will
win under the present development OF
the fight. Conan Doyle, that other IA
nous English author. who reached
New York Saturday. holds a very diff
ferent opinion. He says the women
better desist, for the public mind is
approaching condition where l.
would not be difficult TO start a whole
sale lynching of women.
What sort OF a knight is this who
suggests such treatment of the weaker
sex? Sir Doyle has just reached
American shores, and it may be that
he has failed TO read Of the brutalities
perpetrated upon the women. TO the
number of about $50. by an army of
1900 London policemen at the recent
attempt of the suftragets to present
a petition TO King George. Those
burly uniformed men numerically
dubbed the women, struck them in the
faces with their fist, and did every
thing short of actually tearing them
limb from limb. Does Sir Conan in
dorse such chivalry? Does he uphold
a recent advertisement, in the London
Express, for thugs who know how TO
use the cat-o-nine tails. as guards for
property supposed to be menaced by
the militant women?
Hysterical women need medical care
and treatment, not clubs. lashe and
lynchings. These women who are
burning buildings. running art works
and claiming themselves TO seats in
theaters should be put in hospitals
and dealt with as persons afflicted
with temporary phychic disorders

THE ADDER'S SING.

The adder's sting is deadly. Like

sip. 1t works and strikes in the dark.

Is to suffer, and rely upon your con-

HUERTA GETS AMMUNITION.

1t is not likely that the ammunition
which the German vessels have man
aged to deliver to Huertas agents will
materially advance the cause of the
| usurper. Ammunition is not of much
value unless placed in the hands of
men able and willing to use it.
For many months the ability of
Huerta's soldiers has proved deficient.
All reports now indicate that their
willingness is evaporating, and that the
work and peril of UNFOLDING the cause
Of an ungrateful uSurper is not at all
to their liking. With such men to
make use Of it the new ammunition
will be of comparatively small utility.
In any event the matter is not worth
an international complication. The
United States has declared no formal
! blockade Of Mexican ports 1t has
( established what might be called a
moral blockade against Huerta. and it
was out of respect to this that Ger
many cOoperated in preventing a for
mer landing of ammunition. That
/ Germany has changed her attitude is
not clear. Possibly the landings were
made without the knowledge Of the
: German Representatives or even
against their protest. In either case
/ the United States has no reason to
| fear that Germany disapproves the
| American course in Mexico.
To establish an effective blockade
would be a very large task This
country for the present at least, has
! no desire to assume so heavy a respon-
sibility 1t would not be in keeping
with the pacific spirit which has hith-
/ erto been so marked, and which has
completely placated the Mexican lib
erals who were at first inclined to re-
sent the American action at Vera Cruz.

confidence of right thinking Mexicans.
