The same methods will give assurance
that there will be no division of the
party in convention. Republicans may
differ as to some things in the govern
ment, but Republicans of every stripe
stand for certain fixed policies of gov
eminent which have been tested and
which have not been found wanting
The question must be, will the Re
publicans unite with the understand
ing that the Ratchet is buried and stop
quibbling over men and give more at
tention to rehabilitating the party and
the party principles in the good graces
of the people.
Let the Republicans of every stripe
be they Moose or Standpatters, if
you want to use these names-have
equal right in the convention and let
that equal right be guaranteed to them
under the moral as well as the party
bylaws. Let them meet as "Republi-
cans'' with the one idea of naming a
Republican for President and enuncia-
ting a Republican platform and they
will pave the way for a Republican
administration and more of them in
other years.

BEWARE OF BLACK AT FORTY.
Don't be a Fool and Rush in Where
None but the Young May
Safely Tread.

Flee from black as you would from
Satan himself if tiny wrinkles, those
that presage crows feet, have begun
to appear in your face, for nothing
will bring them to the surface and
force them on the view like dead
black is the opinion of Miss Karla
Augustine. ANY woman of forty
takes her looks in her own hands if
she dares wear black. If its absolute
ly necessary to don a black suit, let
the fair, fat and forty individual
brighten it with autumnal flashes of
reds, gold and bronze. Her only ex-
cuse for Drawing a gown of black is
that she is so portly of form she dare
not wear something lighter, but even
in that case let her brighten the black
as much as possible with corsage gar
nitures. But it is much more the part
of wisdom and discretion to leave the
black to the daughter of sixteen or
thereabouts. There is danger period
running along between forty and
fifty when the dress Is the keynote
which in many cases decides wom-
ans age in the mind Of the beholder.
elf in this borderline period be-
tween mid-age and grandmotherhood,
she assumes the garb of age she will
quickly be accounted grandmother,
but if on the other hand she clings
to pretty things-of course not the
jaunty styles of her twenty year old
sisters, but to soft, luscious, Indian
summer effects, she will still at least
be among those present" when the
middle age are mentioned, or even be
cheered on her way by hearing some
acquaintance remark, "How young
she does look, wonder how she man
ages to hold her own so well!o Of
course, that remark may not be music
to the ear, but it is a lot better than
having some catfish person repeat a
conservation with Mrs. So and So who
said, fHow old and worn the woman
does look!' She certainly has faded
dreadfully.'
"a whole lot more depends upon the
color setting than some women who
dress carelessly suppose" concluded
Miss Augustine.

A Call to Patriotic Duty.

When the Republican National Com
mittee sends out it's call for the ma
tional convention to be held next year
it is going to be a call for more than
a meeting to nominate candidate for
President and Vice President It is 60
ing to be a call for patriotic duty.
The people Of the nation are not nearly
as much interested in who is to be
nominated by that convention as they
are in the principles which are to be
enunciated. The Republican party in
the past has stood for certain economic
ideals of government. Experience has
taught the people that these ideals of
government are of value in the build
ing up of the nation and bringing to its
great industries prosperity
The great mass of the people are not
interested in who controls the machin-
cry of the Republican party or who
deals out the official preferment. The
people believe that there is patriotic
duty for the party that is much higher
than men or factions. Party control
is entirely secondary consideration
now. The Democracy with the aid of
a war in Europe which has paralyzed
industry aboard, has managed to have
show of prosperity in the country.
Aided by an iniquitious war tax the
administration has been able to get
away without bankrupting the nation,
but the people have not been hood
winked and they are ready to welcome
back the Republican party to power if
that party is able and willing to show
itself worthy of the faith of the people.
The Republican party has stood as
the party of patriotic spirit and the
Democracy has stood as the party of
opposition. just about ever so often
the Christening rod has been laid on the
Republican party by the people, but like
the kind father, the people are willing
to forgive and forget just as soon as
the erring child repents.
The future of the Republican party
depends on its action at the next con-
vention. 1t is possible that the men
who now control the machinery of the
party would be satisfied with Root,
Fairbanks, or even Mann or Sherman
OF Illinois. There may be some who
would prefer Borah Of idaho or LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin. What these men
who have led the party into political
failure desire is of little Consequence.
The real question that the convention
is to answer is who is the man that the
people want and what are the policies
on which he shall make the campaign.
The successful answer of these ques-
tions means successful outcome Of
the campaign and the return of the
Republican party to power. Any at
tempt at chicanery or deceit of the
people means the return of the Demo-
cratic administration. IF the Republic
cans play fair with the people and sub
due the fight over party control to
party welfare the people will have no
hesitancy in returning it to power.

The Wolf: The Wolf.

You remember the old story by
Aesop of the boy who was left to guard
the flock and who liked to see the men
and the dogs run. How ne conceived
the brilliant idea of shouting oThe
Wolf: The Wolf" just to have excite
ment. He tried it on two or three oc-
casions and the hardy settlers came to
his aid Then the night came when the
wolf really came. Again he shouted
Justify "The Wolf, the Wolff but the
settlers only smiled at his joke and
the wolf free from restraint, devoured
the flock
The chairman of the finance commit
tee Of the board of education at the
meeting Of the common council on
Monday night declared that from year
to year the members of the board have
been shouting "The Wolf, the Wolf. s
He asserted that sums ranging from
ten to thirty thousand dollars had been
added to the annual requisition of the
board in anticipation that the requlsl-
ton would be cut by the council. Each
year the cry "The Wolf = was raised
and the cut was not as great as it
might have been. This year, according
to the chairman, the finance committee
failed to make any padding Of the
requisition. The cry "The Wolf was
raised just the same, but the council
committee went right ahead and cut
nine thousand dollars out of the bud
get Of the board. All of which en-
phazises the necessity of honesty and
cooperation among the members of To-
cal governing boards. Since the mem
ory of the oldest citizen the council and
the school board have quarreled over
the amount Of money needed to operate
the school system Of the city. One
would naturally believe that the mem
bers of the school board would be bet
ter able to judge of just what amount
is needed for reasonable and economic
management of the schools. The coun-
Gil on the other hand has heard the cry
"The Wolff and they are just a lit
tie suspicious Of even an honest budget.
The money used by both Of these
boards comes from the common pockets
of the people and there is no reason for
such discussions. 1t should not be
necessary for any governing board in
Kenosha to resort to subterfuge to Sc
cure money enough for the operation
Of any department. of the city, The
people want good schools and they
want them at the cheapest possible
figure they can get them and have
them good. They do not want the
council to be niggardly with the school
board nor the board to practice deceit
in making up acquisitions. A better
feeling of fair play and cooperation
should be the first move between the
members of the two organizations.
Lay the cards ON the table. Let the
council know what the school board is
doing and let the school board feel that
the problem Of financial aid for schools
is a question just as interesting to the
council as to the board immediately
in charge of the schools.
Tt never pays to cry "The Wolf, the
Wolf" Honesty in public Office is
the first requisite Of cooperation
and success.

HUMANITY RULED IN ACTION OF
MAYOR THOMPSON
BY N. D, Cochran

BY N. D. Cochran
Mayor Thompson did tie human
thing, and hence the big thing, when
he set out to learn something about
the bread-and-bUtteT problem Of the
street railway men, their wives and
children.
He has the opportunity now to do
one of the biggest things ever done
by any American mayOr-and that is
to establish a new standard Of living
for the working people of Chicago,
based on the theory that every man
has a right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness which means
wages high enough to enable him to
properly nurture and educate his
children, and to place his wife in sur
roundings fit for American mother
hood.
The award in the street railway
arbitration should not be based on a
coId-bIooded business basis, which
first considers the interest of bond
holders and the dividends of stock
holders,
The hrst cQnslderalon ShoulQ De
humanity.
Chicago's chief industry is not
butchering cattle, sheep and hogs.
Neither is it the building of mon
strous skyscrapers, gigantic steel
mills and titanic factories. ChicagO's
chief industry is baby-raising and
citizen-making.
The same human impulses that
prompted Bill Thompson to interest
himself in children's Fairgrounds,
will probably interest him in the hu-
man side of the big job he has tackled
as arbitrator; and when he has fairly
solved it as a big-brained, big-heaTted
MAN, he will have rendered a great
public service, to say nothing Of how
he helps better the daily life Of some
5000 street railway employees and
their loved ones.
