FINE SPECIMEN OF MANUAL

IRAlNiNU'
One of the best pieces of manual
training ever done by the school chill
dren of this city is a doll house, made
by the pupils of grade 3, school No.
70. The direction for this work was
made by Miss Claudia Coker, their
teacher. The boys secured rough
boxes and from these sawed this lit
tie house of five rooms, two halls
and bath room. On the back of
this an additional room was made
and is used as the kitchen. The
house of light green, white trimmings
and dark green roof makes a very
pleasing sight. Ones eye would be
first attracted to the furniture. The
dining room has walnut stained chairs
table and buffet; the sitting room
has mahogany settee, table and
chairs. In the spare bedroom, the
color scheme of blue and white pre-
walls. The walls and carpet are blue
and the furniture white. The color
scheme is even carried to the win
dow curtains, which are white, with
blue stenciled borders. In the adjoin-
ing bedroom we find walnut furni-
ture so complete in detail as to even
have baby's crib. The carpets,
wallpapers, curtains and lines were
all made by the girls. Therefore the
boys, girls and teacher should all be
highly commended for this excellent
piece of work.
The doll house is now on display
in the Rhodes-Collins window.

There is a good moral to it.

The proposition that the railroad and warehouse
commission should be made appontve be superseded by
public utilities commission which is appointed deserves
serious consideration 1t is brought forward by pot-
clans whose only claim to notoriety has been in be-
smirching every state oca! from governor down. The
writer is not ancient but he remember the time
when the commission appontive and the
alleged then for making it elective urged
for making it appontve There old adage about
thief Keeling the halter draw with good opinion of the
law that explains much of this agitation. AS matter
of fact good boards obtained both by appointment and
by election the former probably being expert the
latter responsive to public opinion. The
mission and the railroad and warehouse commission,
of which appontive and the other elective both
rendering good service to the state The railroad and
warehouse commission have received their vote of
dence from the electorate of the state and to
them from office by legislative enactment is unwar-
ranted assumption of power the part of the legs
lature. Of all public officials the members of the rail-
road and warehouse commission have been the object of
most bitter and unwarranted criticism but the people
have continually vindicated them and this should be su
cen rebuke to those who for personal and petty
would legisIate them out of office.

HUGHES P|7|LESS ON
MEXICAN DISGRACE.
In His Mind and on His Tongue
More Than Any Other Single
Problem With Which Mr..
Wilson Has PaItered.
CRAZY CHAPTER OF BLUNDERS

No One Can Hear Him Speak Without
Seeing the Reality Of His Indigna-
ton Over the HeartIess Policy of
the Democratic Administration To-
ward American Men, Women and
Children, American Citizens, SOL
diers and Sailors Along and Across
the Rio Grande.
Soon after Mr.. Hughes was nominal
ed a friend said to him, Governor, if
the American people forget the Mexi-
can disgrace they do not deserve to
have you for president" Quick as a
flash he replied, "The candidate who
lodges the Mexican disgrace does not
deserve to be president" He did not
pass around his address of acceptance
for compliment or criticism in ad-
vance Of its delivery, but the amount
Of space he devoted to the Mexican
disgrace-"that confused chapter Of
blunders '-surprised no one who had
talked with him since his nomination
It has been in his mind and on his
mind more than any other single prob
lem with which Mr.. Wilson has pal
tered. To talk with him is to see at
once the reality of his indignation over
the heartless manner in which Ameri-
can men, women and children, Ameri-
can citizens, soldiers and sailors have
been abandoned by the administration
along and across the Rio Grande, the
victims of Mexican armed forces, out
fitted with American ammunition and
American rifles, Mexicans whom Mr.
Wilson has cOddled one day as patriots
only to chase the next as bandits.
1t is apparently the belief of Mr..
Wilson that the people Of the United
States are not interested in Mexico.
His defenders have declared that it
was an "old story and out of date"
Mr.. Hughes has a better opinion of his
fellow countrymen. He has proved
himself better judge of their feelings.
He has made "the Mexican disgrace"
a foremost issue Of his campaign. He
has assailed the record Of the admin
istratiOn in that respect In almost
every speech he has made. He has new
er failed to strike a responsive chord
in the hearts of his audience. whether

Grand Forks, N. D., to a vast audience

Diego Or in the prairie states of the

der, sometimes heard in the effete
east, that the people Of the great west
do not care what happens to their fell
low citizens in Mexico or to the flag
beyond the border. No man born In
the west has a firmer faith in the
fundamental patriotism and dominant
Americanism" of the people of that
section than Mr.. Hughes. He holds
them responsible in large measure for
tn encouragement and support he re-
ceived while governor of New York in
his war upon political graft and O.
litical bossism. He thinks they had

much to do with conscripting him as
the champion Of nationalism in the
current campaign. He showed his con-
fdence in their practical idealism
when he made 'the Mexican disgrace
an upperm Jst issue Of his campaign.
He has been indicated by the re-
Spouse his arraignment of the admin
istratiOn on this score has everywhere
evoked. From Maine to California
'the Mexican disgrace" is a sore sub
ject with red blooded Americans to-
day. But nowhere between the oceans
are the outrages inflicted in Mexico
upon American honor, life and prop
erty more keenly resented than around
the firesides Of the great west. Mr..
hughes is no stranger to the west.
His straightforward talk on Mexico
proves it.

SIGNING PETITIONS

Some people attach lot of Importance to petition

appoint committee to hang every minister of the gospel

The petition started by asking the city council to
adopt ordinance excusng the ministers from paying

wherefore until the final paragraph reached, when
it shown that in order to make payment of the tax
unnecessary, the ministers would have to be hanged.
Therefore, be at resolved read the paragraph,
that the city council is hereby requested to appoint
committee whose duty it shall be promptly to hang until
dead each and every minister of the gospel in this city

After the joke on the signers many of whom are
conservative influential bankers manufacturers and mer

FOR DELEGATE
THE CONGRESSMAN HAS REA.
SONS WHY HE WANTS TO GO TO
NATIONAL CONVENTION AT ST.
LOUIS.

Washington. D. c., March 29-Con
gressman VIM. II. Murray of the
fourth district of Oklahoma has given
out the following statement:
"Yes, am candidate for delegate
at-large to the national convention, be.
cause | think it is necessary in the
interest of our platform that will be
adopted at st, Louis agreeable to the
wishes of the president and his friends.
Oklahoma ought to have at least one
delegates who has the knowledge at
first hand here in Washington of the
intrigues of the opposition, both to the
President and his policies, particular
ly as it relates to preparedness. The
interviews appearing in the newspa-
pers some days ago from Oklahoma
City to the effect that the st. Louis
convention would be a ratification
meeting" is erroneous. Why is it that
some states not having primaries have
announced that they will send unin-
structed delegations to St Louis? Why
is it that the opposition to the presi-
dent all at once has apparently sub
sided. and yet many prominent men
who opposed his policies are now can.
diiates for delgate? 1t is clear to
my mind that they hope to adopt a
platform to embarrass him and force
him to decline the nomination. Mem
bers of the party should either fight
the presidents nomination openly or
else support platform agreeable to
his record. II we are going to nomi-
nate Wilson, we should do it with the
same spirit of sweethearts-dete
ID to get along together. Let men be
sent as delegates who are pledged to
his record.
81 am pleased to note that my let.
er sent out to Oklahoma has had the
effect of breaking one slate which
would have proved hostile to the presi-
lent and his platform"
