AT this writing the returns of the
primary election of Tuesday a week
ago, are about all in and it is
possible to get some kind of line
on the nominees. Why this tardi-
ness in the matter of returns is hard
to say. The system, to be sure, is
complicated in the tallying and
subsequent counting. but the out
lying districts are not keen in get
ing the returns in. Besides the
complicated system of checking,
the legislature also made mistake
in keeping the polls open until 9
O'Clock. This is entirely un-
necessary as the voter has abundant
time between 7 and to cast his
vote. Employers are supposed to
give their men time off to vote ac-
cording to law and the extra hours
in the evening are only an aggreva-
ton to the boards charged with
counting the ballots and making
the returns.

serves as vent for the city editor S
surplus egotism, and does us no
harm. But for the sake of friendly
comparison let us take peep at
just one little phase of city life
courtesy to women. A man from
the country was in large city
recently and had occasion to make
trip to the suburbs about FIVE
O'Clock in the afternoon. The car
was soon crowded with people 60
ing home from the days labors,
and the man from the country
found himself sitting opposite a
gentleman" of the city CARRIED in
immaculate attire and an expression
of intellectual superiority" A
feeble old lady entered the car. and
in the absence of vacant seat was
standing by the side of masculine
repository of superior intelligence.
The intellectual high of city
breeding looked up, gave her a cold
stare, and calmly resumed the
reading of his paper. The man
from the country as promptly gave
her his seat.

A movement is on foot among
club women of the United States to
have railroad trains supplied. with
chaperones, whose duties will be to
safeguard Our rural maids and
youthful matrons from the atten-
tions and Establishments of strange
men while travelling alone. The
move is a wise one and should be
fostered and encouraged. 1t is
needed, and we are for it. And
we bow down in gratitude to these
noble and high minded club women
for their solicitous attitude toward
our winsome country lassies. But
there is seldom an ointment without
its fly. From a casual reading of
the movement as exploited in the
daily press it would appear that
young women from the country
are the only ones who are suf-
fciently unsophisticated as to be
unable to care for themselves while
separated from the maternal apron
strings, while the wisdom of the
city bred girl makes her immune
from insult. Or at least that ap-
pears to be the opinion of the wise
ones of clubdom. Now in order
that we may not be outdone in
generosity, and that our rural light
may shed its rays afar, we humbly
suggest that our good women of
the country inauguratea movement
for the protection of young girls of
the city from the polished human
vampires who make a practice of
preying upon young innocents
abroad.

VIII Celebrate
A committee waited on the bust

A committee waited on the bust
ness men yesterday and today to
secure few dollars with which to
make some kind of splurge for
the children on July 4th. Owing
to the heavy demand to be made on
the citizens to pull off the Home
Coming and Tournament here a
few weeks later in the month no
large celebration was inaugurated.
The response for the kids" cele-
bration was quite general but as is
the case with almost every public
affair the same bunch of donators
were compelled to dig.
There are a few who are very
10th to let loose of anything once
in their mitts, for any object.
These parties are known and they
make nothing by being tight-wad.
Several men who were overlooked
by the committees in getting funds
for the Home Coming celebration
have brought in donation and
were miffed because they were not
asked to contribute. These are the
public spirited ones and they are
also the men that keep the town on
the map. Some others are of the
opinion that the Tournament and
Fourth of July celebrations will be
held anyway and that they will get
in on the spoils whether they give
or not.

everything. And if the regents or
the state school board can't con-
vince the other branch that it
ought to have what it asks, it
won't be able to tell very con-
vincing story to the legislature.
Except that the farm institute
board is taken over the extension
division, there is little change in
the government of the university
under this plan. The normal
schools are taken in with the state
school system. The normal board
is absorbed by the state board of
education. Various minor boards,
like the library commission and
the high school board, is likewise
absorbed.
A board is proposed large enough
to represent all parts of the state
and to keep in touch with public
sentiment. It will be a board of
directors and not an executive
board. On an executive board
more than three people are detri-
ment. In a representative body
nine is not too many for comfort
and results.

How many merchants who see
their business gradually slipping
away from them realize the under
lying cause of this condition of af-
fairs? Of course there may be a
number of reasons, but generally
the principal one is that the people
are losing interest because they
never see the merchant S advertise
ments in print. The business man
who never advertises can hardly
expect to successfully compete
with the one who makes his adver-
Using an important feature of his
business. Advertising of the right
kind will always bring results, and
the buying public reads the adver-
tisements of a live paper as re-
ligiously as it does the news
columns. The readers of this paper
want to know something of the
wares the merchants of this town
have for sale. If your ad. is miss
ing they will probably turn to the
other fellow-the man who goes
after business, and gets it.

Fourth in the list of departments
proposed by the efficiency commits
sion is education.
That is different from the other
activities of the state and is differ
emily treated. Instead of putting
the director Immediately under the
governor, board of directors is
provided who will not only pass
upon the policies of the department
but also appoint the superintendent
and control him.
Largely for constitutional rea-
sons, the educational department is
divided in two sections. One is
the state control of the schools;
the other the university. There is
distinction between these two
branches. The state supervises
public schools receiving state aid;
it operates the university.
Practical unity is to be accom-
plished, however, by telling the
state school board and the regents
that they must get together, espe-
cially on the budget. When they
agree on the budget, they will
have come pretty near agreeing on
