mayoralty election. Mitchell was beat

ing the vote and solidifying all dis
gruatied elements agains; him. The
PRO- German vote and the Stacker vote
and .he Taminany vote did the busi-
ness fer the candidate representative
OF good government Of the city and

peal was made to Germans and to pro-
Germans to vote for Hylan, not as
American citizens and voters of New

Loyalty to the country was made an
self raised it 1t appears to have been
accepted by his opposition and with
success The greatest pulpits of the
city stood against both Hylan and
Hillquit as menaces to America in the
war But the forces Of misgovernment
the disgrunued elements OF all kinds
and the gathered aggregate OF every
disloyal vote in the city proved ire

1t is by way of warning. The same
system works in other and smaller cit
les to the advantage of the men who
seek personal advantage only and who
are willing to find that advantage at
the expense of good government and
even in the slums of disloyalty. The
victory of Tammanyites in New York

Thoreau found glory in one excep-
tional November. He recorded IN his
diary that this month was worth a trip
to Damascus or cathay. No wide
travelling could bring reward OF
greater newness and wonder.

miseries OF the eleventh month were

shod and he could find birds and
fiowers everywhere. 1t was to him a
new November, And 1t came to him. so
that he did not have to go out to It
1t was, therefore, more desirable than
a trip to Damascus or Cathay.
Such a November dawned last week.

SPEAKING OF woMEN'S SHOES.
CManson Democrat

Manson Democrat.l
It actually tests a mans gallantry
to meet the average woman nowadays.
and see her wearing shoes that cost
twice as much as she should pay for
them. One Of the most wasteful, flag
rant and sinful extravagances OK to-
day is the extravaganza OF women on
shoes alone. While men are wearing
shoes that cost under ten dollars Tor
about the best, with only a few tops
and fools paying more, the average
woman's feet are encased in pair OF
"boots" that are priced at somewhere
around SIS to SEQ, the price being fixed
by the social status. as 1t were, of the
"bootery" where she buys her foot
wear. II 1t Is an uptown location
where the lights shine brightest, she
can buy her shoes and boast to her
friends that they "set her back" about
seven dollars more than they are worth.
while II she buys them at one Of the
more humble shoe stores" she will
not exceed three or four dollars more
than they are worth.
The sheemen say. and truthfully, too,
that the women are to blame for the
exorb;tant price Of feminine footwear.
They will not wear black leather SHOES
any more under any circumstances.
They must have either white shoes or
shoes OF some other color. no matter
how like q camel's foot or a mules noof

It Is not the shape or size they are

When a modest, neat-fltting black or
brown shoe would make their feet pre-
sentable, at least, they persist In wear
INK some gaudily -colored. tinsel-be-
decked boot that makes their feet look
like a cross between q cavalry oht-
GERS boot and the footgear OF some
high kicking vaudeville actress whose
capital Is her legs and her ability to
show them and get her feet farther
from the floor at each succeeding per-
Torrance.
A walk Of few blocks along the
street Of any city will reveal, without
any ungentlemanly staring or piping.
that women's shoes do not care who
wear them. The minister's daughter,
the bankers wife. the school girl, the
modest lass from the country, the Mig
ger wench. the shopgirl. the dem!monde,
the cashier in the Greasy Spoon cafe,

gances Of the times. To pay for their

OF children will be kept out OF school

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
(By Lawrence Bly,

ii question of universal military
training is now an important topic OF
discussion throughout the country.
The future OF a country depends
largely upon the training given it's
men and boys, This point can easily
be proved by taking for example Ger
many, she would have been defeated
long before now. if she had not had
universal military training.
1t must be admitted that if the Uni
ted States should go to war, a call for
volunteers would increase the army
10 immense proportions, but what kind
of an army o rnavy would it be? Ger
tainly not the kind that could stand
against the trained veterans of
Europe.
1t has been said by a prominent
French correspondent that it would
take two years for the United States
to put enough trained men into the
field to hold one mile of the Entente
battle front. It is hard to under
stand why we are so backward in this
respect. Even if we did not believe
in military training for the safety of
the country. we should consider it for
the good of the individual person. 1t
is especially desirable in schools. 1t
develops and hardens the muscles
and gives much good healthful, exer-
else. The Germans w the strength
and hardness of their ace to uniVer-
sal military training. Why do not
the American adopt this wonderful
institution?
