DAVID STARR JORDAN AND HIS
 IBEA OF PEACE.

Dr.David Starr Jordan is reported to be bombarding President Wilson with daily and nightly telegrams
 with the idea of persuading him
 (the president) there is no real de- mand for war"
 The California educator is vast ing his time. He doesn't have to attempt to persuade President Will son "thcre is no real demand for war" The president knows this bet ter than Dr. Jordan. Another thing known to the president and millions of Americans, which appears to have escaped the attention of pr. Jordan and his misguided fellow pacificists is that Germany is inflicting war upon us, despite the lack of demand, and an evident desire-displayel thru months of injustice, bomb con- spiracies, piratical attacks on our ships, and practical murder of Aneri- cans--to remain at peace.
 We wonder what would be the at titude of the Californian if some in dividual were to enter his home i'll
 the guise of friend attempt to create dissension therein, wreck some |of the furniture, and even take a feN
 pot shots at Dr. Jordan when he caught the educator on tho street. If the doctor did not resent this treatment and take steps to protect himself he would not be considered a leader worth following.

STYLE NOTES FOR SPRING.

For her graduation, or perhaps it is her first party-The schoolgirl always wants dress which is especially nice and frivolous looking. A frock which fills tho requirements of being dainty and pretty without being "fussy," is well adapted to the use of flouncing, though it may just as we'll be made of plain material trimmed with lace, The simple waist with square neck fastens at center back. The gathered skirt is in one piece; the upper part is formed by one-piece gathered flounce. A sash of some soft mate-
 rial such as crepe de chine or satin ribbon should be worn with this dress. Lingerie waists promise to be more popular than ever this season, and they deserve to be, as they have a crisp daintiness that no other style of
 waist quite achieves.
 A very popular model just escapes ! being mannish-looking by means of it's broad hemstitched collar and its odd ly-cut side closing. The three great
 big buttons at the closing give it quite an air of distinction.
 Filet insertion and edging is by fa1 ! the most popular trimming this
 spring, though Irish crochet is also ill
 style.-From Peoples Home Journal.

OUR EXCITENG TIME.


 There is so much of tremendous importance to mankind and America happening in our day that newspaper readers arc kept in a perpetual men, tai ferment.
 -iNeWs that a few years ago would have been given first rage position is now relatively so unimportant that it lands on the inside pages under or dinary readlines.
 Such are the government suits against the steel trust and harvester trust, for instance. Time was when these mighty antitrust actions were reported at great length and com, Emented upon from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But nowadays scarcely kanyone is giving them more than cur. ssory attention.
 By the time the g.ry chronicle from Europe was beinning to pale, along came our disagreement with Germany over the submarine issue |and our proximity to the abyss of the Agreat war. Revolution in Russia hought most improbat'e of success sAAd the great railroad controversy.
