Professor Holton Says Every Student
Should Study Journalism.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 16.-Study of
Journalism and printing should be re-
quired of all college students, in the
opinion of e. L. Holton, professor of
education in the Kansas State AgIi-
cultural college, who spoke to a group
of students in industrial journalism,
advanced English and education.
Professor Holton believes that learn

Of becoming efficient in visualizing the

that students who have had a course
in printing are from 20 to q per cent
more efficient in silent reading than
those who have not had such a course.

BLIND DEMOCRACY

The Democratic party cares moth
ing for the future.
It's leaders are persistently blind in
so far as vision of the future is
concerned.
They will not say or they cannot
say that when this European war is
ended our enormous war expenditures
must cease Immediately and there
must be substituted for them re-
newal of the ever increasing imports
Of cheap European goods, which we
were expressing during the ten months
operation of the Underwood Tariff
Law prior to the outbreak of the war.
They do not seem to realize that
the peoples Of Europe when they are
released from the bondage of the war
must return by the millions to their
suspended industries and must inau-
gurate a great struggle to re-establish
their industrial structures, regain
their worldwide commerce and res
tor their worldwide commerce and
restore their prosperity.
The most casual student of history
and of human nature must realize that
these people are set to work at their
great task with an energy, a deter
mination and a degree of organization
and community Of interest never be-
fore displayed. With the Underwood
Tariff Law on the statute books, we
will have no effective barrier to stop
the food of cheap goods which must
inevitably seek this great American
market. Be it remembered that when
that day comes, following the close of
the war, America will offer the great
est opportunity of all the markets OF
the world for the rejuvenation of pros
trate Europe. For time at least
we will have the money with which
to purchase. The current of expor-
tations from Europe following the i'm
mutahle laws of trade, will set in
| towards America.
What is to become of the American
working man, the American farmer,
and the American manufacturer :?
How are our home industries to stand
| this great commercial invasion?
One or two things must happen.
Either our people must voluntarily
lower their standards of living to
correspond with those of Europe and
| c;a or else give IN the StrupgIe en-
tirely by closing the factories and
opening public soup houses. We have
had some experience with this latter
alternative.

deadlock, and as the close of the ses-
sion approached predictions were free
ly made that adjournment would come
without agreement. The business of
the state was sidetracked for the sat
isfaction of political and corporate
vengeance.
And finally, in the last hour of the
last day of the session, another roll
call was ordered. Representatives
of those interests which have for a
generation exercised so sinister an in
fiuence over the affairs Of Montana
came forth openly from the lobbies and
moved about the floor, whispering to
their lieutenants
"Myers" shouted legislator, early
in the list, when asked to name his
choice for senator. Scattering votes
had attracted little attention during
that legislative session. Scores of
obscure individuals had been named.
But again and again the name was
repeated as the roll call continued.
Needless because of the lateness of
the hour and the hopelessness of their
cause, others cast their votes for the
unknown, while laughter and jest re-
sounded.
The situation became serious. "Who
is this man Myers?" passed from lip
to lip. Few could answer. The
word had been given by the low-voic-
ed lobbiests-and that was sufficient.
The presiding officer announced that
Henry L. Myers Of Hamilton had re-
ceived majority of all votes cast

THE ACCIDENTAL SENATOR

Henry L. Myers is United States
senator by accident. Perhaps no 9TH
er man ever entered high position un-
der more curious circumstances. New
er, perhaps, has man been elected
United States senator by men who
knew neither the name, the residence
or the qualifications of the person for
whom they cast their votes.
Six years ago the legislature Of
Montana was heavily Democratic in
both branches. Hon. T. J. Walsh, of
Helena, was an active candidate for
the senatorship, and by all the rules
of the game he should have received
the coveted place. He had worked long
and earnestly for the success of the
party, had contributed largely to the
campaign fund on numerous occasions
had laid aside his private business
and cheerfully devoted himself to the
ticket. He had every reason to be-
lieve that he would receive the reward
SO justly his due.
But detractors were at work. Enc
mics within his own party bent theil
energies INCREASINGLY to his defeat
Certain great corporate interest:
frowned upon his ambitions and Sc
themselves to defeat him. S. V
Stewart, now the governor Of Mon
tana, was chairman Of the Democrat,
state committee, and was recognized

advanced to $3.50 barrel wholesale
in Chicago, and member of the Cent
raj Cotton Garment Manufacturers
Associations meeting at the Hotel La
Sale, said the prices Of cotton goods
had advanced from 60 to rs per cent.
Both bakers and cotton manufacturers
predicted still further advancement.
In the face of this startling news,
it is we'll to remember, that the pur-
pose Of the Underwood tariff bill, un-
der which we are now living, was to
reduce the cost of living. The only
! thing it reduced was the revenue pro-
duced by a tariff on imports. While
the imports have increased millions
Of dollars above what they were un-
der the Republican tariff, the duties
collected on these increased imports
was only about one-half Of what they
were under the Republican tariff. The
net result of the Underwood tariff is
this: The cost of living has ascend

The revenues have been sacrificed

loss, Congress has passed the greatest

In addition to this, the American

place a metal plate on the chassis frame
or in conspicuous place near the driv-
ers seat. with a caution that overlooking
is detrimental to the truck and that load

Overlooking affects truck frame, springs.

The frame of a truck is intended to

its elastic limit and will not then recover
to its original structure: it viii be more
susceptible TO fracture.
II springs are heavy enough to care
for considerable overload, they will be

MITCHELL ANNOUNCES
new ROADSTER MODEL
Machine Is a Condensed Five-Passen-
ger Car in Runabout Type with
Ample Luggage Space.

The Mitchell Company is ready to put
on the market a unique idea In a road
ster model John w. Bate, with his
ueusl foresight, has gone just one step
further in developing roadster that
would really serve many purposes other
than the use usually obtained from the
present conception of this type of car.
An original idea with John W. Bate.
he has worked on the designing of this
body for some time past, and before
allowing its introduction to motor en-
thusiasts he has Incorporated not only
ell the efficiency construction for which
the Mitchell is famous, but the twenty
six extra features which have made the
present Mitchell product the talk of the
automobile world.
This new roadster is really a condensed
five-passenger car in the runabout type
that retains all the beautiful lines of the
roadster, yet provides ample room for
the five passengers, with the added ad-
vantage of large luggage carrying space
under the locked door in the rear.
The body is provided with the regula-
ton two doors, as on the roadster. The
front seats are divided, and besides the
roomy seats for the driver and other
occupant of the front there is a wide
isle to the rear seat.
The rear seat is exactly the same
width the rear seat in the FIVE or
eeven-passenger models of the famous
Midseason Mitchell. 1t provides com
Portable seating accommodations for
three passengers, and the distance of the
rear seats to the back of the drivers is
such as to allow the passengers more
than ample leg room. which In a less
roomy car is the cause of much discom-
fort on long rides.
The body, OF course. is mounted on the
81 oh he 70,
senger roadster and FIVE and seven Mid
season Michel models. of which the large
Mitchell plant at Racine, Wis. have al
ready put out some 5000 cars
