YOUR DAUGHTERS

T<HERE is published in a recent is
sue of Leslie's Weekly, an edi-
torial that every mother-and
father, too-ought to read. The writer
asks questions that must have arisen
in the mind of every man who has
looked with establishment upon the
startling raiment of the girls and
young women of the present and who
has compared them in his minds eye
with the costumes of other days,
Among his interrogations are these:
Is she following the fashion set
by the undressed chorus girls of the
stage?
Is she bedecked in fimsy gar
ments meant to display the contour
Of a shapely figure?
Is ner walking dress cut so low
that one would think she was on
her way to the opera and so high
that the color of her stockings is
discernible?
Are her fingers, neck and arms
covered with gaudy Jewels, chcaply
initiated on the and 10-cent coun-
ters? Is her face rouged and pow
dered with the freedom of the bra
zen demi monde?
Does your daughter measure up to
any of these specifications? If so, you
have some idea of how thinking men
look upon her.

land, Hill was nothing if not construc-
tive. He saw the vision of the Great
Northwest as it lies to-day at time
when Indians and buffaloes ranged
it's hills and plains and when the i'm
mense agricultural country was but
an untamed wilderness.
There were men who during the hey
day of his phenominal career hated
Hill with a venom as deep as ever
characterized the feelings of Union
officers for Mosby, but he was the man
of the hour in the country he did so
much to develop. We shall not see his
like again. He is unique-one of the
great captains of industry" who
played their conspicuous parts on the
stage of constructive American life,
won their need of fame and wealth
and departed. American life has al
ways produced the man to meet the
need. AS the rebel forces were sorely
put for a Mosby in the Shenandoah
when he and his little band arose to
nullify the effect of some $1,000 Union
soldiers. so Hill came forward to
make of the Great Northwest a rich
and happy abiding place for thousands
of Americans. When the need passes,
the type passes, and so with Hill and
Mosby. History of the future prom
ises to give us no duplicates.

People Liked Him
IDetroit Free Press. |

Detroit Free Press.
People liked him, not because
He was rich or known to fame,
He had never won applause
AS a star in any game.
His was not a brilliant style,
But he had a gentle smile
And a kindly word to say.
Never arrogant or proud,
on he went with manner mild,
Never quarrelsome or loud,
Just as simple as a child.
Honest, patient. brave and true
Thus he lived from day TO day,
Doing what he found to do
In a cheerful sort of way.
Wasn't one to boast of gold
Or belittle it with sneers,
Didn't change from hot to cold,
Kept his friends throughout the
years.
Sort of man you like to meet
Any time or any place.
There was always something sweet
And refreshing in his face.
Sort of man you'd like to be,
, Balanced well ana truly square;
Patient in adversely,
Generous when his skies were fair.
Never lied to friend or foe,
Never rash in word or deed,
Quick to come and slow to go
In neighbor's time of need.
Never rose to wealth or fame,
Simply lived, and simply died,
But the passing of his name
Left a sorrow far and wide.
Not for glory he'd attained,
Nor for what he had of pelf
Were the friends that he had gained,
But for what he was himself.

THIs city arises to challenge the L

0NHlS city arises to challenge the
dictum that the American peo-
pie want nothing but rag-time.
The municipal government is trying
the experiment of furnishing its citi-
zens with musical classics of the sort
that are generally supposed to put
tired business men to sleep. 1t is fur
nishing these classics in an unroman-
tic. businesslike way, exactly as it sup
plies police and fire protection. And
the ordinary citizen, who if he lived
up to his reputation would fee from
Wagner as from a plague, is stepping
all over his neighbors in the rush to
get tickets.
The Baltimore Symphony orchestra
is an interesting and significant devel-
opment. 1t may point the way to a
real popularization of the classics in
this country, such as obtained in Eu-
rope. 1t has gone far enough pretty
we'll to explode the theory that socall-
ed heavy" music goes over the heads
of those who lack special musical
training The problem is not one of
lowering the program to meet the av-
erage mans taste. 1t is one of low
ering the price to meet the average
mans pocketbook.
The Symphony orchestra turns the
trick by getting its appropriation from
the city council. There is no indiVid-
ual benevolence or philanthropy con-
nected with the proceeding at any
point. The taxpayer foots the whole
bill. There is nothing to prevent any
other city from establishing a similar
series of classical concerts, irrespect-
i've of whether or no the wealthier ele-
ment of the community is interested

TWO HISTORIC FIGURES GONE

1.-TWO hgures that will occupy their
ownpeculiar places in American
history as long as it is read
passed from the walks of life this
week-James ]. Hill, railroad builder.
empire developer and capitalist, and
Colonel John S. Mosby, partisan rang
er, dashing cavalry commander and
scourge of the Federal forces during
the Civil War.
While the activities of the two men
were along widely different lines. vet
they were not without their points of
similarity. The remarkable success of
both was based on the same
personal qualities-unbounded energy,
courage, daring, ruthlessness and orig
inality. On that foundation Mosby
built a reputation for military achieve
ment that made him the most dreaded
figure in the Confederacy. Hill was
raider, too, and feared by his enemies
in the financial world even as Mosby
was by the Union commanders. But
there the comparison ends. for while
Mosby was a destructive force in the

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

.NNE of the campaign issues in
~ Pennsylvania next Fall will be
the rural free delivery, which
in many instances has been seriously
interfered with by the Democratic ad-
ministration since 1918. The latest
slam of the Democrats at the farmer
has been the limiting of the parcel
post to fifty pounds, by amendment to
bill now before Congress.
Congressman John r. K. Scott, who
appears to have been renominated by
the Republicans of the State on Tues
day, has issued a statement on the
subject in which he says:
II the protests and complaints re-
ceived by Congressman from thou
sands of rural route patrons of
every section of the country and
especially Pennsylvania are any cri-
degenerated @ int into S a mere me t'TI travesty
OF its former usefulness. 1 doubt If
there is any member of the Penn
sylyania delegation whose district
who has not received thousands OF
letters and petitions asking that
efforts be made to improve existing
conditions. Pennsylvania appears
to have been the butt of all the
radical experiments, and the inves-
tigating committee does not need
to go any further than into the
confines of this Commonwealth to
readily discern that something is
wrong. The entire trouble started
almost year ago when, under a
plea of economy, the department
commenced TO rearrange, reroute
and extend the mileage of the en-
tire system. There is plenty of evil
dence that the postal officials hav-
ing this phase of the mail distribu-
tton in charge were incompetent or
for some unknown reason deliber-
ately set out to destroy a system
which had been carefully worked
out and which was progressing and
was giving satisfaction to its
patrons.
The officials have assured us that
the system has been cheapened and
but the people who have
been served are the best judges, and
they insist that they have been de-
prived of many of their former mail
delivery privileges. The lengthening
of the routes was bound to have this
effect. In some cases it went very we'll
in fair weather, but when the rain,
frost and snow Of the early winter
served to make the uninproved
roads almost impossible, the real SER
iousness of the situation commenced
TO appear. The service practically
failed in many sections and very often
the carriers were lucky to get through
with one or two mails a week. Then
it was that the farmers. unable to get
relief through personal pleas to their
Congressman and the postal officials,
commenced to band together and hold
indignation meetings and forward res
olutions to Congress and post office
department as was instanced recently
at mass meeting at Salisbury, Pa.
In one instance, where readiust-
ment was made, an entire town of five
hundred inhabitants in Western
Pennsylvania was left for weeks with
out any mail service and residents
were obliged to depend upon the cour-
tesy of a physician who took the post
master in his automobile every morn
ing to a town twenty miles away where
the mail sacks were put off the train.
This is kind of mismanagement that
the people do not need to have ex-
planned to them by political orators.
