THE 1916 MODEL.
Some Local Girls May BE of the 1916
Model, But We Hope There VIII
Be No Runabouts.

The 1916 Model girl, of which ev
cry community has a plenty, is well
described by one of cur exchanges in
the following:
THE old fashioned girl who used
TO lean up against the family ironing
board and make her own bed is get
ting as hard to locate as bar Of
non-floating soap in bath tub. You
can ask a girl Of the 1916 model to
rinse the dinner dishes or hang out
the clothes and she will give you n
look that will curdle pail of milk.
1t has gotten so nowadays, that all
girl wants to do is feed fudge into
her face and try out consignment
of short skirts. The girl who isn't
allowed to entertain a houseful of
spindel legged suitors and beat pi-
ano into coma six evenings a week,
while mother looks pleasant and
does up the work, is as hopelessly
outclassed in the social whirl as a
Percheron draft horse in free for all
trot. No girl is considered up-to-date
unless she knows every travelling
man that hits the burg and INDUCES
loves young dream by carrying on
a perfumed business college. A girl
whose head is full of fifty cent tic-
tion and the next bargain sale of
gauze hose will never have to shoe
q line of eligible bachelors off the
front stoop with broom for fear
that somebody will drag her up to
the altar in tulle veil and rented
limousine. Yet, some people wonder
why men don't marry"

Cedar Rapids Republican: That
single tax" membership of Brother
Meredith which is referred to in
Frank Gotch's letter may be denied
by some of the hired servants of the
"dryest of the dry" but we have on
file the official documents for his
membership in that association, and
will be glad to show them to any
doubter. The single tax means
tax on land values, and on nothing
else, Under it no man in Iowa could
own his own farm. 1t means farm
ers renting their lands from the
state and that in order that all
other classes may escape taxes. 1t fits
in well with bond issues for roads, to
be paid for by the farmer.

normal feeling about men. She IS
preparing for self support, and is
more or less Indifferent about mar
riage. She is just as likely to marry
however. This independence adds
to her elusiveness, and really makes
her more attractive.
A woman who recently made some
visits with wealthy relatives in a
large city, speaks of the industrious
habits the girls she met were Guilt
waiting. She said that every family
she called on was having trouble in
finding servants. In most of them
she found the daughters of the fam
lily washing the dishes.
The business or professional girl
has an independence which her old
er friends envy. She can pick and
choose in marriage. Her mind is
wholesomely occupied, and her pow
ers developed by meeting the prob
lens of daily life. If later she mar
ries, she is all the better equipped.
rhe problems of business and pro-
fessional life help her to meet the
problems of the home.

Campion stated that the political
situation in Manila is much easier now

Philippine bill is defeated. -
The Clark amendment contained a
tentative date for independence and
according to, former reports from Ma

business would be greatly curtained

Compromises on "Hor1e

As the result of q compromise

convention committee on platform aud
resolutions adopted shortly before

Harry Baldwin of Maui made a
strong speech against the proposed
plank for the platform, while the
plank was just as strongly upheld by

of Oahu.

rights as far as we are able" Thomp-
son retorted
One of the Maui delegates declared
that during the seven years he has
been campaigning on the Valley
Island not one woman has come to
him and asked him for the vote.
The matter came to head when a
compromise was effected. 1t was de-
eided to throw out the proposed plat.
form plank relating to suffrage and
adopt the plank contained in the Re

Is as follows:

of a bad accident which yesterday
marred the opening of the new Kai-

In celebration of the opening of
this homestead mill, a huge crowd

a platform, and from this various
officials were throwing small gifts

EMIL A. BERNDT PICKED
FOR PARTY'S CHAIRMAN
George w. Smith Permanent
Chairman of Convention;
May Close Tonight

Republicans Of the territory are as
sembled In convention today and har,
mony Teigns supreme. In fact, one
delegate, after surveying the calm
situation at the Bijou theater, where
the convention gathered, remarked
that it's "disgustingly peaceful"
All fights and possible fights are
being settled in committee instead of
on the floor. of the house. And at
that nothing resembling real fight
has ever even loomed above the
horizon. A few objections to plat
form planks have arisen, but no
scrap, even remotely resembling the
bitter battles Of the past, when faction
was arrayed against faction.
The two big pieces OF business be-
fore the convention are the adoption
Of the territorial platform and the
election OF the territorial central COM
mittee. No important fight has de-
yeloped over either. The platform
committee is in session now, thresh-
ing out among its own membership
the smalIsized differences of opinion,
and no contest has developed over
the territorial committee places.
Emil A. Berndt, of the second pre-
cinct, Oahu, is the man now spoken
of for chairman of the territorial
committee, which means chairman OF
the Republican party in Hawaii. No
opposition to him has shown itself up
to a late hour, today, and. on the other
hand, members of both the KHhio and
Rice wings of the party two years ago
said this morning that they favor
htnl So. { s...s- E ~ - =.
Convention Moves Slowly
Having comparatively little busi-
ness to attend to and plenty of time
for It, the convention is moving slow
ly. 1t got under way about $50 this
morning and after effecting perman.
ent organization and naming its plat
form committee, adjourned at 1880
to meet at 7:30 tonight. Meanwhile
the platform committee, meeting in
the hall of supervisors, is drafting
the document on which the party will

have been licked into shape in adj

Oahu delegates, was added to Satur-
day and yesterday with the arrival Of
men from the outside islands, the new
members being Judge J. w. Kalua,

suit of its labors of the past week.
