Mans Protests Against Woman's APP
pareI UnavaiIing Since Jere-
miah's Day,

Minnu Thomas Antrim in Lippin-
colts: Since the world began, men
have hurled upon the more or less de
voted heads Of women sartorial disap-
prOval. Jeremiah began it, and the
end is far from yet. Curiously, one
phase Of complex woman has eve
adequately focused-her tendency to-
ward lateral methods whcn reprisals
were "up to" her. Had he, success
would moro frequently have crowned
his reformatory labOrs.
For men realize the power of silence,
or that SUGGESTION ranks anathema.
For generations the O'er-whitened
face, the rouged cheek, the dyed hair,
and the mouth Redeemed hideously
have furnished text for pulpiteers and
husbands. Rare are the converts re
corded. Chiefly because masculine OBJ
j~cctiOns wore obviously confined to
kinsWomen. More women these days
so clcan-faced, not because of afore-
said Jcrcmiahs, but because COMMON
sense has taught them the futility of
such beguilcmCnts. The hObble skirt,
too eagerly adopted by the masses,
disa ppeared. SO, given . little more
time, will this unrighteous garment
that is audaciOusly slit where it should
be deCOrOusly ScWed. That spirited
women respond slowly to lordly scold-
ings or p~riestly ratings is known to
women. Moreover, Fashionable Women
dress not to lure the male. but to bet
ter. or bother, their sartorial competi-
tors. That the sex magnet has it's
place and hour is true, blu to slit their
skirts in order to increase their admir-
ers would indeed be to 1aunt the flag
of desperation. When they slash wick
eddy, if so it be, it is merely to pro-
claim thief urore cry from Paris. It's
a silly world, my masters, in which
fashions stately and modes trifing
alike pass into the nevermore. Why
make their brief life so doleful. Sure
ly by o no living devotee to Paris
ian Vagaries can hope to save her face
with any trousered being, hence. a lit
tlec harity, kind sirs, a modicum Of
kindly patience, and 10, the skirt vol
luminous Carefully sewed all around)
will once more be the thing.
A fashion-lOving mother, wife, or
sister may not be as wise as a SER
pent, according to man, but that she
Is as harmless as n dove, is more often
true than her self-elccted mentors
wish to believe.
M~odernitE in the feminine is more
afraid Of being thought dowdy than
wicked, because for the former the
critical world has no tolerance, where
as W~lckednesS is a condition usually
of the judges mental attitude. That
so personal a matter as the width of a
skirt should engage men high in the
worlds esteem is absurd, for, as go
the denominations of fashion, SO will
disappear the equally awful turkey
trot and tango. Meanwhile a sudden
happening, a serious call, a demand
for tender service, is only required to
prove that noble souls ~oftener than
mt wear butterfly gear.

a new diplomatic arrangement cover
ing the question of Japanese immigra-
ton, ought we not to refrain most
carefully from any such action? The
plain truth is that we are asking the
Powers to act in concert with us about
Mexico. and that it would be the
height Of folly not to remove every
possible cause Of friction with nations
whose help We are seeking. AS we
cannot thinl of going ahead with a
policy of isolation, the only thing for
us is TO show the greatest friendliness
and fairness when we turn ia acting in
unison"
If the president makes his plea to
congress n the country along such
lines, there can be little doubt of the
result. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, not
friendly to President Wilson, recently
spoke Of his visible control over con-
gress", which it frankly said was
greater than that of any other presi-
dent within living memory. It pro-
ceeded to give several reasons in ex-
PLANTATION, such as the disappearance
Of once-powerful democratic leaders
in congress, the number of new men
there who feel that their political lives
depend upon doing what Wilson de-
sires, and SO on. Some force must be
conceded to this. but the true account
must not omit to reckon with PreSi-
dent Wilson'S unusual qualities and
with the directness and effectiveness
of his methods. He is not afraid, on
occasion, to go against strong party
leaders. Both Mr.. Underwood and
Senator O'Gorman are strongly for the
Panama tolls exemption, for instance

Wilson and CONGRESS-.

New York Post: The president is
ABOUT to make a new and severe test
or his influence with congress-. He
has let it be known tina he is against
the clause in the Panama act exempt
ing American coastwise vessels from
canal tolls, and will urge congress to
repeal 1t. Passing for the moment his
motives and seasoning, consider the
task he is setting himself. A first
obstacle to be got over is the Balti-
more platform. 1t roundly declared:
We favor the exemption from tolls
or American ships engaged in coast
wise trade passing through the Pana-
ma canal.' A large and rational view
or this declaration would be that it was
inserted into the platform by three or
TOUR men, that 1t was never discussed
~ the convention, probably not one
delegate in fifty having even heard Of
it, and that it is absurd to uppos any
such chance utterance to be binding on
he party. We admit. however, that
it will be difficult for Mr.. Wilson, after
things he has said about the
platform, to dispose of the matter in
this way. In addition, he has to face
the fact that a decisive majority in
both houses voted for the exemption
clause. To induce congress to reverse
itself is harder than to persuade it to
venture upon new legislation. It is un-
az lSIolS Z, lIltI tie president
is undertaking a very arduous task.
involving all Of his authority and pres
tige.
TO such a stand at this time it is
evident that President Wilson could
not have been led except by high rea-
sons Of state. His study of the Pana-
ma bill, alongside the Hay-Pauncefort
treaty, is said to have convinced him,
as it has so many sincere minds. that
the two are in conflict. That being so,
there is nothing else for a conscienti-
Gus president to do but to take his
courage in both hands and go to con-
Sress with an appeal to safeguard the
national honor by upholding the full
integrity of h treaty. Every other
consideration must fall before that.
When we have slipped into q clear
violation Of u solemn agreements. it
is no time to dispute whether the can
al will or will not need all the tolls it
can collect, or to talk about adjourn
ing u breach of the treaty for a
couple Of years. All this is but shilly-
shallying, so long as the question of
national good faith is paramount. If
the president puts it in some such way
to congress, we are sure that. both in
this country and abroad, there will be

SILO BUILDING
POWERS LAKE BANK WANTS
FARMERS TO BUILD SILOS IN
THAT VICINITY OF BURKE
coUNTY-OFFERs PRIZES FOR
FIRST SILO IN TERRITORY.

70 the farmer who builds the first
silo in the Powers Lake territory and
fills it with ensilage the State bank of
Powers Lake, n. D., Offers q prize of
$50.
SiIos are needed in that section of
Burke county and the State bank of
Powers Lake is taking an advanced
step in the right direction and en-
cOuraging the construction Of the
thriving little city in the northwestern
section of the state.
The State bank of Powers Lake is
the bank that has grown up with
Powers Lake. 1t has a capital of $1j,-
900 and a surplus Of $500.
The conditions for this prize money
OF $50 arc that the silo must be locat-
cd with a ten-mile radius of Powers
Lake: that the silo must be Well Quilt
and of modern architecture; that its
capacity must be at least 100 tons:
that it must be erected ard filled with
ensilage ready for operation not later
than Oct. l, 1914 when the contest Of
Ter will terminate.
Cashier Hanks of the State bank Of
Powers Lake has been talking silos
for the last two years and he is Won

get busy and act.

recognition of his moral cour-
age and high leadership.

1t is obvious that this Panama tolls
matter does not stand by itself. In the
presidents mind. it must be linked
with the whole aspect of our foreign
relations, at present, and particularly
with the trouble and peril which
threaten us in connection with Mexico.
We do not know what Mr.. Wilson said
to the congressman on the foreign at
fairs committees whom he summoned
to the White House last week, but
what he might we'll have said would
be something like this: gentlemen,
we are facing a delicate and even
critical situation. TO refrain from
going into Mexico with arms in our
hands, and at the same time to satisfy
European powers and Japan hat their
interests there are safe, is immense
~ difficult. We have to call upon all
those nations to exercise great for
b%earance. Their patience and their
good will we court and we need. Now,
I put it to you whether, in these
circumstances, we ought not to do
everything in our power to display
u good will to them. If any one
of them says that we are not living
up to a treaty with it. ought we not
to look earnestly into the rights of the
matter? If several of them say that
we are pigeon-holing arbitration trea-
ties which we asked them to negotiate,
ought we not to brush the dust off
those treaties and ratify them as soon
as possible? If Japan is sensitive
