IL takes nine tailors TO make q man, uut
fourteen or even twenty-four, if it be a
rush lob. to make a gentleman. The Nom
ters Of the Natoua Association Of Ner-
chant Tallors of America are themselves
for the computation. They ar
rived at it very simply, indeed. No gentle
man, they say, can have less than fourteen
suits and ten overcoats in his wardrobe.
Should one decide 10 become a gentleman
in p hurry, starting, say, from scratch or
n state Of nature, then each item 81 cloth
M mentioned would necessarily engage
the attention Of a different artiicc, max.
ing twenty four in All. But. Of course. If
g man start with a handicap, half a
dozen suits and couple Of overcoats it
may be- or any other variation Of frac-
tional gentility, why, then, the number of
tailors required to bring the product at
once up to specifications differs according
to the gap in the wardrobe.
It is needless to speculate on the uses
ard character Of the two dozen units Of
dress prescribed. Every gentleman must
know them by heart, and even an editor
is too sensitive TO risk displaying his ig
rorance in the matter. Suffice it to say
that they should represent an outlay Of
1900, which very conveniently reduces
renHHty to the time honored basis of dol
lars and cents Take the amount named to
any frst-class mouder Of fashion or To
several simultaneously, and he or they will
guarantee the result and no questions

Souandermg the States Cash.

Slight digging into the legislative ex-
pense vouchers filed in the Controllers
office has established the fact that it cost
the state more than $4,000 to settle the
contests over three Assembly seats last
year. All the Committee on Privileges
and Elections chairman, Mr.. Brereton, Of
Warren County, had 20 do was 10 come
here. count the ballots voted In the dis
ruted districts and take little testimony.
In doing this the committee incurred bill
for food and lodgings at the Biltmore
amounting 10 more than $4,000; IT spent
more than 81 600 for railroad fare. more
than $4,000 for counsel to the committee
and the lawyers for the successful con
testants and about $4,000 for l6 clerks,
~ messengers and various stenographers.
Such waste of state funds is disgraceful
Unfortunately. it IS not Illegal. The money
IS gone and there is no way Of recovering
it or Of furnishing the men who squandc-ed
i5. What this committee did was merely
IN line with what othet committees have
done-its members have that excuse for
their soft living st the states expense
and the dispensing Of jobs which weren't
needed any more than a cat needs two
tails. But if such conduct cant be pun
shed. 70 al least should be stopped. Ez-
posurc of those who have so spent the
states money viii be painful lesson, but
helpful so far as the public Is concerned.
Each instance adds sharper point TO the
request of Messrs. Barnard, Bracket
Stimson and others 10 Controller Trevis
70 assemble and make public the facts
regarding committee expenditures in the
last six years. it is plain the state must
acopt restrictive measures. How stringent
they should be can only bee known when
an the facts are at hand.

In Italy the situation IS even more III

plete change of front. During the long
years of the kingdom partnership III the
Triple Alliance all propaganda for the
Italia Irredcnta movement was dlscour-
aged as much as possible, out OF REGARD
for Austrian susceptibilties. IL has even
been said that the generation OF ltailahS
NOW Of military age was kept as much as
possible in ignorance of the Austrian phase
Of the country's history, in order to lessen
gradually what popular discomfort there
was with Crispi's politics. Wherefore IN
the case of Italy we may look for reversal

The lists of prohibited books Of the
Allied and Central governments are recon-
nended 70 the attention Of all collectors OF
the literature Of the war. They form It's
most interesting subdivision, worth while
IN copies of first editions that
have escaped confscation. They contain
great deal Of Misrepresentation and yillil-
cation. Of rancor and the qualification OF
private erudges, but also a great deal OF
unwelcome bat important truth. And they
will increase rapidly in intrinsic value
when, at the end of the war, the peoples
whose governments have waged it begin to
investigate responsibilities and guilt and
TO do Justice accordingly.

From Our Lyric Patriots

Where are the trumpeters Of old, o Godg
The stalwart bards from whose keen eyes
flashed flame,
And from whose lips rolled grand, sonor-
GUS words
That stirred the purest fire in the breast
Filled the brave heart with eager, rushing
blood,
And made a man in scorn throw down

To grasp the sword instead, and, with a
shout,
To ioin in battle for his God and land.
Where are the trumpeters Of old, o God?
Driven away before the snivelling pack
OF shrinking cravens, who in feeble verse
Vaunt to the sky their weakness, and
exclaim,

'Tet US have peace, although our com

Murdered before US, and through all the

The Winter Carnival.

There was a time within the memory
of all of Us. when Dartmouth was politely
nitied for its remote rural setting, deep In
the woods, just under the Arctic Circle
The sons Of more accessible Alma Matters
nearer the heart Of the Temperate Zone
took q pharisaical interest in the lumber
camp" and wondered how so many com
natriots could be induced to undergo It's
.uowbouud rigors But to-day their pity
is changing TO envy, for Dartmouth has
become the patron of winter sports, the
home OF the Winter Carnival a Mecca on
a certain day in February for the beauty
and fashion of the land. Older and more
famous social fixtures find their hold on
the affections of the fair slipping. what
can the fogs and slush of warmer cam
puses offer half so appealing as the eager
zero air and crcaking snow Of Hanover!
How can the dance step compete longer
with the ringing skate, or college theat-
ricals and glee club concerts with inter
collegiate hockey games and ski contests.
And when furs and mackinaws and all
the gay panoply Of wrappings against
Jack Frost be added to attract the sar-
toriallv interested, it seems little wonder
that every year more girls reject the
proms for the carnival.
Well, the carnival is the better instltu-
ton, the happier, more stimulating more
wholesome. L tames a cruel winter day

carnival without feeling the powerful call
Of the great out of-doors, without rising
10 the challenge Of winters Bullets. As
people we are surfeted with indoor sports,
more or less destructive Of physical fitness
and morale. Here is a shining demonstra-
ton Of the greater INVESTIGATION to be de-
rived from turning the season OF chills
and Indigestion into one Of warm-blooded
recreation and physical Joy.
Young America is under an obligation
to Dartmouth for making q virtue out Of
its supposed disability, and there Is every
indication that where it can it will eagerly
