When men are selected for of flee, of any kind, their moral characters should be carefully considered. No man should be elevated to a place of public
 trust who is a reprobate. The man of dissolute habits and of questionable integrity should be left out. When you go to vote if the stain of dishonor is attach ed to any candidate 1t would be better to eliminate him from your list. In this country we fortunately have good, straight forward, honest men enough to select our officers from, without going into the field of uncertain ty and doubt picking out men whose regulations are bad. No man should be elected to office who is not honest, and if you have a doubt about mans honesty, give yourself the bene. fit of such donbt and vote for one you know is honest.

TO THE YOUNG LADIES ONLY. Which Will You Do, Will Your Own Independence or Marry
 a TWO.bit Man?

hU-Ult
 You are at the cross roads of life. There are two paths open to you. One leads to your independence, the other to de- pendency. You are to choose, which of the roads you perfer to travel. One requires effort, the other indifference. To travel one, you must have real back bone and determination, the oth- CT, string for back bone, and indifference will do. Some girls say "The lion is in the way. ''The girls like gumption, get.up- and-get, they reason that if so- and-so and such h-and-such thing had not happened they could have made a great success. The lion is in the way. Fear and indif- ference has intered into their daily life and robbed them of their vim and courage. It's our life work to train people to de- termine to get up and do things, develop their late talents, quick en .their perception that they may lead higher and more use. full life. Our thorough practical training i'll Bookkeeping, Busi- ness Methods, Shorthand, Steno- typewriting, Telegraphy, Busi- ness English, Business Law, Business Arithmetic, Spelling, Business Writing, Rapid Oalcu- lation, Money and Banking, Corporation Finance Taxation and Public Finance, Private Sec retaryship, Salesmanship, Adver- Using, Req. Estate, Commercial History, Higher accounting Eco- monies, Parliamentary Law and Managerialship, together with the use of the most modern office appliances, gets the lion out of the way, gives the girl her inde- pendence, places her where she can make an honorable living, in any city in the land; command the respect of the very best peo- pie. If in after life, she is left a widow with plenty of money or property she knows how to care for it. If upon the otherhand, she is left and has to support herself she can do so by accepting a good salaried position in some office.
 Girls who graduate from our institution are not only carefully looked after while in school, but the place where we secure them a position, through our employ ment department is carefully investigated as to the moral sur roundings, and in the larger cit ies we have arranged for appro- priate boarding places in private homes. No mother need fear her daughter will not have the proper care and attention while in our school and making her start into the business office.
