ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

Democracy.-In congress and state
legislatures, representatives of the
people are artifcally divided into two
herds-by the middle aisle that runs
to the speakers desk. On the one
side are Republicans and on the other
side Democrats. This artificial divi-
sion helps partisanship. It is the bat
tie line between hostile armies.
I believe good would result if rep
resentatiYes of the people were seat
ed by districts, counties or states, so
that Republicans and Democrats
would be mixed up without discrim-
ination and without the battle line be-
tween to constantly suggest war.
Under the party system men who
are friends and neighbors at home
and all the year around except dur
ing political warfare think of them
selves as Democrats and Republicans
in legislative bodies, instead of as
REPRESENTATIVES, or as repre-
sentatiYes of their respective parties
instead Of as representatives of the
people.

Advertising.

Advertising. = Have YOU noticed
the growing influence of advertising
on the news columns of newspapers?
Here's what mean: In the news
paper that carried the most automo-
bile advertising you find the most
automobile news. In newspapers that
carry the most moving picture ad-
Vertising you find the most moving
picture news.
This works out in theatrical and
other advertising. It means that the
newspaper mean the average
newspaper tries to feed news to its
readers that will help make the ad-
vertising of it's advertisers pay. The
object of auto news is to stimulate
public interest in autos, so the ad-
vertisers can sell more of them.
The real purpose Of running society
columns is to get the women to read
the newspapers and then convince
retail merchants that the way to
reach the women and get them to

Progress in Styes.-There has
been an upward movement in dresses,
or gowns, in recent years; and the
bottom of the skirt has reached the
shoe top. I don't know how long it
will take friend skirt to gradually dis
appear altogether. And I still think
the girls are going to dress reform in
the wrong way. That is, the elimina-
ton of the cumbersome skirt is too
slow.
had a good idea, but the garment
makers don't seem to get it. It was
to have the skirt slit up both back
and front all the way. Then by un-
buttoning it as a skirt and bUttOning
each side around its particular leg the
result would be a perfectly good and
well-buttoned pair of pants.
The beauty Of my invention is that
this garment could be made either
a full skirt or a pair Of pants at the
viii of the wearer.

Carmen and Chaplin
Make Strong Bill

The Vining Theatre has the most
attractive bill of moving pictures for
New Years eve and New Years after
noon and evening which has been Of
fered at that theatre for some time.
Geraldine Farrar, the famous opera
singer, appears in moving pictures
for the first time in a film version Of
the famous opera, Carmen. In
Carmen" Miss Farrar is seen as the
half-wild, fascinating gypsy who is
the head of band of smugglers,
How she leads one man to death and
another to ruin and is herself stabbed
by a jealous lover are but incidents
In this thrilling five-reel picture.
In addition to this feature the Vim
ing has secured Charlie Chaplin in
his latest two-reel comedy. "Shang-
haied." This will make one of the
best bills yet shown. On New Years
eve there will be continuous per-
formance from 1880 to midnight. A
matinee at 2:30 Saturday afternoon
and usual performance hour Satur-

City Council in
Two Short Meets

The city council met in brief ses-
sion last Thursday evening and can
vassed the votes of last Tuesdays
election. Several minor matters were
referred to committees who will re-
port at later meeting. Smith
Emery & Co. asked that the city take
over the closing up of the mineral
water ditches where il was necessary
to cut the pavement. The bitches
are all being filled, but the pavement
can be better relaid later in the
spring, and the Smith-Emery people
wish to close up the contract. Hence
they wish to have the council con-
tract to lay the pavement and ask
that the probable cost be estimated
so that check for the amount may
be left.
At another brief council meeting
held Monday night the city agreed to
take care of the paving, the company
to pay the cost. No other matters of
Importance except the electric ordi-
nance were discussed.
