pronounced than ever. In innumerable
instances they take their invitations
as matter of course and simply ignore
them. In others they accept, decorate
their mirrors with their cards. and,

be a comfortable method for the stu

PATRIOTS WHO DON'T :


The trust press called the employers
better patriots than the workers who
went to the border to protect our
nation. To make the preparedness
parade a success, Big Business came
out with a promise to pay all work
ers full wages while Uncle Sam need
ed them:
Now that it looks like there won't
be any war with Mexico, Wilson
wants the national guard to protect
the border from Mexican bandits.
This is not what Big Business wants;
it wants Mexico, not our border pro-
tected.
So all the men who were to get
their wages while Uncle Sam needed
them are notified by their bosses that
if they can't get back soon their
wages stop. The bosses must have

by charging a feels the correct in
depreciation of the state constitution,
it behoOves those trying to improve
social conditions to get busy on this

Clarendon beach is operated by

less an amusement than dancing on
the municipal pier? The city has
been furnishing water to it's citizens
for years and making a charge for
the service. Is there any difference
in the effect of operating a public

ment may be called this.
The principle involved in this de-
cision Seems to me to be this: No
community may do for itself that
which individuals may do-at a
profit. This opinion upholds the be-
lief of those you have elected to of

reform that would endanger the

The teachers that remarked:

this. For as long as Loeb is at the

for he denied the teachers that he
