A BoOmerand-

Ottumwa Courier: Some of the pres
ident's campaign managers are much
wrought up over the reported coloniza-
ton of colored men from the south, in
northern states. The democrats cannot
come into court with clean hands in
making such a charge. They defy the
constitution of the United States and
deny to the colored men the right of
franchise in the states where they are
citizens and where they are counted as
part of the population on which to
base southern representation in con-
greSs,
The south will not let the colored
men vote; neither will it consent to
have representation proportionate to
the white men who are allowed to
vote.
The cry that southern colored men
were moved north to vote had better
not be raised.

STUDENT SALES GIRLS

Several Of the large department
stores OF New York have embarked on
= scheme which might a. first glance
be taken as pure philanthropy. but
which is really 4 mutual benefit move.
The project is nothing more than IN
encouraging their sales girls TO a bet
ter education. One store is employing
girls in part time. who are students
in their senior year at high school.
The first girl works week while an
other girl takes her place, with alter
mating weeks at work and at school.
At school the studies OF these girls
include textiles, non-teXtileS-rubber
glass. china. leather, etc. commercial
geography. industrial arithmetic, COM
nlercial English, business penmanship
and similar subjects. But the big
study Of these girls, the one given
most attention, il craftsmanship. These
girls will 90 into the store during the
week which they work, and put into
%ctual practice the theoretical know
ledge they have gained at school. And
then they 60 back 10 school and dur
ing that week pat ;he practical exper-
ience and knowledge of the actual
store conditions and system into their
school work.
The stores IN this way are helping
he girls TO obtain something they
would no; otherwise have, the immedi-
ere application OF theory to practice.
But the esta Adjustments arc really the
greater gamers in th-- game. for with
such instruction as tho girls are got

a sectional CRY; We are merely stating
facts. The Democrats always go into

the candidate is and what he stands
